Most times I've eaten here were all dine in's and the service is usually good. At least from what I can remember. Today, I felt like getting take out so I decided to call in my order.
I've had many bad experiences with take out so I've been checking my orders before I leave the establishment (regardless how tight they make the double knots on the plastic bag). I ordered lechon kawali lunch special, pork sinigang and halo halo for dessert and requested the ice cream on the side. Anyways, glad I checked out my orders before I left today cuz I repeated everything to the girl before i opened it and she nodded yes but I checked anyway. There were no lechon sauce or lumpia sauce in the bag so I asked her for some. (If I would've found out I didn't get any sauce when I got home, I would've been really upset so make sure you check your orders) She also didn't add any utensils or napkins. I went in around 3 pm and there were nobody in the restaurant so I can't blame it on anyone being busy at all. She also forgot to put my ice cream on the side like I requested.
I'm still giving them 4 stars because their food is 5 stars in my book as far as authentic Filipino food but the service seems like a hit or miss. I would stick to dining in. Also, their pork sinigang usually comes in a bigger serving when you dine in and you basically get half of that when you do take out.
Some of the dishes I've tried here :
(Family style sharing size when you dine in)
Lechon kawali- very generous with skin! And crunchy! Best one in town!!!
Pork sinigang- tasty and sour like how it's supposed to be. Yum
Pancit luglug- also known as palabok is very good. Ask for extra calamansi :)
Chicken arroz caldo - Sooo good. They put like 1/4 of a chicken in it not just little tiny shredded pieces of chicken.
Garlic fried rice- perfect to pair with lechon kawali. And anyone who loves garlic would love this
Bistek Tagalog- it's ok I feel like I've had better
Halo halo- really good not too sweet. Real halo halo ingredients not just random fruits like some Filipino places
Sago't gulaman- tastes just like the one they sell in the Philippines
Turon with ice cream- not the best I've had but if you've got a craving for it, it works.
