| - I'm so glad more Filipino restaurants are popping up! It truly is an up and comer in terms of cuisine. Thanks to blogto, I was able to put this place on my to-eat list. Let me start off with the ambiance. Super rustic but in a cool tone. The light fixtures and the bottom of the bar I believe were made from metal sheets. There are potpourri cups on every table, and yes, you should take a whiff. It smells awesome! There were also chalkboard writings on the wall with weekly specials.
Now for selfish reasons I would not let y'all know about their Tuesday special...but because I think for the greater yelper good, I will spill the beans. They have buck a shuck Tuesdays! Calling all oyster lovers...it is yes, a 1 dollar per oyster. I went all ham on that and ordered 12 which came with a seasoned vinegar with a subtle kick to it. It's definitely different, oh and it also come with lemon to squeeze on it.
Now the best part! The main dishes. I ordered the barbecued baby squid and my boyfriend ordered the barbecued kalbi ribs. They each came with a small bowl of rice. My dish was super flavorful, in fact the squid was stuffed with some ingredients I wish I asked the chef about! The sauce was a nice pesto with some cherry tomatoes on the side. I don't recommend ordering this alone as a main though because I was still hungry. Thank the day for the kalbi ribs and my boyfriend for sharing some of it. It was a sweet, charred and salty all in one flavor to the ribs. Highly recommend. I really recommend getting anything bbq, since this is technically their specialty. I would love to try their take on kamayan as well.
The chef/owner was extremely pleasant to talk to. He came to every table and ours just to strike up a conversation. I think this restaurant definitely deserves more recognition, they have really good food, and I mean really. However, there is no website currently so I would either check out blogto's archive for a review or go on their facebook page!
Yum, yum, yum!
