Eh. I was so excited to try this restaurant that I gathered 5 other co-workers (including 1.5 Filipinos - one person is half) for dinner one Tuesday evening. Unfortunately, I was hyped up for no reason. One caveat - I went to Sweet Basil to try their Filipino menu, so I did not try anything on their Thai menu.
Me and 3 other people ordered the Taste of La Filipiniana entree, which includes a soup, rice, chicken adobo, beef caldereta, shrimp curry, and a dessert for $14.95. Not a bad deal... if it tasted good. The main complaint across the table was that the sauces were way too peppery, which the cuisine experts at the table said is completely unlike authentic Filipino food that favors blander flavors. Boo #1. For me, the meat - both the chicken and the beef - were waaaaay too overcooked like they were sitting in a crock pot for a week before making its way on to my plate. Boo #2. The last thing is always something I look for when I want to give a restaurant some props for service - my water was not refilled regularly. Boo #3. That's enough boos to take off 3 stars on my yelp review.
The only things I did taste and enjoy were - the Asian Pumpkin Shrimp Curry on the Monthly Special menu, my Sticky Rice with Thai Custard dessert, and the Cassava Cake dessert. But, it wasn't enough to make me go back for more...
