So I initially came into LJ's with an open mind that the food wouldn't be like my grandma's home cooked meals or any other Filipino restaurant I've been to. It wasn't busy so I walked right in with my family, and just picked a sitting area. Someone came to give us our drinks and another lady came in to take our order. It being our first time there we asked for some recommendations, there weren't really any help since it was already labeled on the menu when she pointed out chicken dishes, pork dishes, rice dishes, etc. We ordered the pinactbit, fried rice, and a pork dish (forgot the name of). To describe the food, salty, very salty. I would try to balance out the saltiness from the food with white rice, especially how we ordered fried rice I had to add additional white rice to that as well. Flavor is good but the saltiness overpowered the dish. It seemed as if shrimp paste was heavily added to the pinactbit, which in my opinion was problematic. I didn't order pinactbit to just taste salty shrimp paste, I was hoping for the soup flavor of the dish and the veggies pop out. May try it again, may not - will update if given another shot."^^ .
