The food was practically perfect, but as a Filipino from California I've had Amazing Filipino food. That's why I always have to compare them with each other. This is one of the best I've had. It just isn't The best. Sadly that's one of the only reasons I don't want to give it more stars.
The other reason is the bill added up quickly so this place was more expensive than other places I've tried. We wanted to try their calamansi mocktail and our server pushed us to try a pitcher of it. He didn't tell us that it was $20, so that was more than what we wanted to spend on drinks. I'm used to rice being free, but our garlic fried rice was $11, which feels expensive even for garlic fried rice. Also the service wasn't that great. They didn't check on us or refill our water.
Other than that the lumpia and lechon kawali were hot and fresh. The sizzling chicken sisig fries meets all the hype. The sinigang was exactly what we were craving. I would come back but order less and maybe steamed rice will be free.
