| - 4 stars for the BBQ and service. The rest of the stuff we tried needs to improve.
The place has a refreshing look and vibe from your typical Filipino restaurants.. tall ceilings, greens dotting the red walls, and huge tv screens that played interesting balikbayan videos... I felt happy entering the space. Service was also extremely warm and accommodating.
We loved - the sago't gulaman drink, the pork bbq (it is by far, the best I've tried among the Fil joints in Vegas), and the tokwa't baboy was tasty. The palabok was ok, not bad, but not something I would necessarily go back for. Chefs need to taste the pork rinds that go in there, when you have a few tough gooey pieces it just ruins everything. The boiled egg was also served cold so I had bites that were cold. Also stay away from the appetizer trio platter. The fishballs were bad, the lumpia looks prettier than it tastes, and the potstickers, aside from not really being Filipino fare, is substandard (more wrapper in ratio to meat).
For me good service really elevates the whole dining experience, so if you are in the area, definitely give their bbq a try. The lechon belly looks pretty good too.
