Food:3.5 stars
Service:1 star
Filipino food is not mainstream Asian food. However, they are getting popular recently with all the Ube and pork belly hypes. I have this place on my bookmark for awhile ,and was exciting to go try it.
I went in today around 12pm. Explained to the server that we are on a time crunch, so we would like to order asap. After we ordered, the Lumpia came out relatively fast. However, my friend ordered a Kobe beef burger that took about 40 mins. She had to pack that to go. Then, we asked for a check, and then waited for another 15 minutes. The waiter just completely ignored the fact that we told him we needed to leave. We just walked to the front to pay, and our server didn't come acknowledge us. Another person came to help us.
Food wise, I think it's average 3.5 star. The portion is big. I ordered the chicken Insal. My chicken was pretty fresh. The seasoning was okay. I didn't taste the lime but just lots of sugar. The sauce was bland. I did enjoyed my garlic rice that came with it. My friend ordered a chicken adobo which it didn't come with rice. We thought that was odd. She's actually Filipino and she didn't like the dish either. However, I did enjoyed the Lumpia Shanghai. That was quite delicious.
The overall experience was not pleasant mainly due to the service. I probably won't return anytime soon before they figure out how to manage their kitchen and staff.
