"Ay nako, this place. Not even a gastropub! It's a faux-fancy Filipino place trying too hard. So I met up with my family here one Sunday for a late lunch. It wasn't really busy, but it still took them 15 minutes to seat us. They had clean tables. I didn't have a large party with me. So starting off like that kind of left a bad taste in my mouth.\n\nSpeaking of bad tastes, the pancit awful. Flavorless. Raw veg. Overcooked meat. Since my cousin checked in, we got a free ube pancake. It was pretty. It was purple. Didn't taste anything like ube though. We asked for a bowl of rice with our meal, which I think is BS that the dishes that need to have rice doesn't automatically come with it. They didn't even give us the rice the first time, so we had to ask again. They charged us twice for it. The rice wasn't even steaming hot. The dishes were fairly small for the prices they charge. I could have gotten a better deal with better customer service at the small Filipino places that blast TFC all day. They also never really refilled our glasses of water. Again, this place wasn't that busy at the time.\n\nWell since I got most of the complaining out of the way, let's talk about some good stuff. They had this lengua dish that brought me back to my childhood. The serving was on the smaller side and it wasn't piping hot, but it still tasted good. My mom used to make that dish but she couldn't remember how to make it. We had the bangus sisig which wasn't bad. The adobo fried rice could have been better, but it did come with a good amount. The lechon kawali wasn't bad either. They didn't give us extra vinegar to dip it in but it was fine. \n\nI would come back to try out other things though. So if I do come back, I'll update my review. Hopefully for the better."^^ . "3"^^ . "2"^^ . . "5"^^ . . . "2017-12-10T00:00:00"^^ . "1"^^ .
