  • Actual rating was a 4.5. I seriously wished there were half-star ratings, as this place deserved more than just 4 stars. Dad: Go find where the latest I-HOP or Dennys is that isn't on the Strip for breakfast. Don't want to walk that far. Whenever a suggestion of either occurs and I'd rather not go to chains , I use Yelp to find where I could find a gem. Me: (looks at the review page for this restaurant) How about this place? I'm already sold on red velvet pancakes. Dad: Sure. So after about ~20 minutes of driving, we come across what appears to be the REAL Las Vegas, even down to the "Lugaw" sign. We kinda got lost, but quickly found our way back after realizing that their restaurant was across the street and had changed their name. We came in at just the right time, we were able to find seats yet the restaurant was starting to fill up. I observe the "People Love Us on Yelp" and "Best of Las Vegas 2011" stickers near the front door. As I looked at the menu I see a couple of things that struck a chord. "$1 extra for garlic fried rice". "Corned beef hash and eggs". "Rick's ADOBO fried rice". This wasn't going to be a typical breakfast place. What sealed the deal was the "extra charge to replace buttermilk pancakes with your favorite pancakes." SOLD. (If it wasn't already obvious, I'm a Filipino-American with a slight obsession for red velvet). It also helps that all the waitstaff looked Filipino. My mom built her own omelet, dad ordered the adobo fried rice and I ordered the corned beef hash with eggs with garlic fried rice and red velvet pancakes. I was quite pleasantly surprised that our breakfast came out pretty quickly. I wolfed my dish down in probably the same amount of time it took to cook it while maintaining a sense of decency. The dish was everything I expected from a Filipino family if they were going to cook the same dish using American corned beef. The onion in the garlic fried rice was a nice touch and I'll consider modifying my garlic fried rice recipe to include onion. The red velvet pancakes were quite delicious, it tasted like red velvet, but more savory than say a red velvet cupcake. Went well with the melted cream cheese frosting and chocolate chips. One of these days I'll have to try the adobo fried rice. I wasn't able to have some because I didn't want to infect my dad with a cold, and though it was one of my choices as to what to order, I didn't order it because the dish didn't come with pancakes. Maybe next time. From this experience I learned a lesson: A lot of the more casual dining gems in Vegas are found off-strip and I look forward to finding more of them. I WILL come back here someday just to round off my review and (hopefully!) upgrade to a 5.
