| - Their food is not bad, but far from the best Filipino food I've had. That honor goes to my mom, and many Filipino guys will say the same thing about their mom's cooking. But I love that they are here serving a sizable North Vegas Filipino community. Then why just a 3.0 rating? Well, call me unfair, but they automatically lose one star because nothing is made to order. This is one of those places like Panda Express, with food heated, and sometimes it's too wilted and tired. Filipinos call this "turo-turo" or point-point....because you point what you want. I call it fast food. There are not enough sit down, cooked to order Filipino restaurants around.
Today, my mom and I just wanted something light, and I opted for a large "laga" to go. This is a pork broth based soup, a little too lemony for me, and there was a lot of fat in the pork. But broth is good for you, it helps cushion the joints and helps with digestive issues as well as your immune system. And surprisingly, the longer the bones and cartilage cook, the more of the cartilage is available to help. So this was actually a dish I didn't mind was pre cooked. About the health benefits, here is a link to an article by Dr. Josh Axe, a good friend of Dr. Oz. https://draxe.com/the-healing-power-of-bone-broth-for-digestion-arthritis-and-cellulite/ Cost was $7 for a large. A large container of white rice was $3. I got them to go, and were packed very nicely.
I also got turon, fried bananas with a piece of langka, or jackfruit at 3/$2. Jackfruit is one of the most aromatic of all fruits. They are wrapped in a rice flour shell and deep fried. Like most people, they use the burro banana, which is IMO nowhere are sweet or juicy as the plantain when fully ripe. Still they cooked it perfectly., I also got a pack of some coconut milk and rice flour desserts ($7.00). It was really fresh , sweet, and delicious. Their icee/evaported milk and preserved fruit dish, halo-halo, is yummy as well.
My sister, who is a very busy woman, hosted my mom's birthday party last weekend. She said that for $125, there was enough food for 12 people with food left over. She got BBQ pork, pancit (noodles), whole fish, and several vegetable and meat dishes. She'd rate them all between 3.5 to 4. They completed the order by the date and time promised. It was nicely wrapped and easy to unwrap and placed on nice plates.
I like that his restaurant has expanded into a mini mart. This is the third such place in North Vegas. One thing you might think about is that there are only 3 tables, and parking might be a problem. Otherwise, hope it's around for a long time.
