So still searching for a great place and we can across this Filipino place that has lumpia that are delicious. Since I tried them I've gone back three different times. If you buy 50pcs you pay 25.67 seems reasonable for 2-3 people. They are so good. We have tried there adobo, chicken and pork. Also their pancit. I would recommend this place for sure
I heard about this spot by a a special someone, so I'm giving it a try for the New Year Eve Bash!!! Called in my request lady on the phone upsold me - haha, and promised me I would love it..let y'all know next year!! Happy 2025:) As promised they were very very good... Thank you
Food was great, cafeteria style, so it doesn't make sense to pre-order. There's also canned drink options, and plenty of desserts! The workers are efficient and kind. They do speak Tagalog here! There is limited seating inside and no seating outside, so I'd order to-go. There's a great park conveniently right across the street, so have yourself a picnic. Lumpia is $45 for 100 pcs if you're thinking of catering!
I have lots to say but I won't say toooo much. This place is great! Real, authentic, Filipino food. Nothing else. So if you're looking for that, this place is spot on. I hired this place to cater for my wedding, but before I did so, I tried out their food for lunch. Lunch was great. Food was well done! Large portions for an affordable price for their combo plates. Now for the wedding, I had ordered many different foods, including desserts, such as: Mechado, lollipop chicken, lumpia's, palabok, pichi-pichi, sapin-sapin, puto, & more! They set everything up buffet style, and the desserts were set up real nice onto large platters. After I gave back their dishes that we rented for the wedding, I was also given a free Egg Pie, which is also delicious! This place is very busy, & there's no question why. They're quick, food is good, & affordable.
Easy find for an out of towner & right off the freeway. Bonus! They have bibingka like my grandfather "Tatay" used to make among other Filipino desserts to try. I got mongo & rice for my mom & it had bittermelon in it which I actually loved. They didn't have bangus made at the time so I was bummed, but they have other dishes I'd like to try. Service was pleasant. Small cafeteria like setting. I will be back.
The South East Asian enjoy turon with their afternoon tea. No, you do not want to make this on your own. Too much work. Order them for the weekends ( only available Saturday and Sunday ). $2.50 and twice the size of the regular. Bring them to your garden and enjoy as the sun goes down.
It's been a while since I've made a review at this place but it does not mean that I didn't patronize the place often. I want to show the Bicol Express that I had to go recently. The portion is big and the dish had a lot of meat. They also pour the sauce on top of the 2 scoops of rice. The pork is so tender. It also has coconut milk and it has a bit of spiciness. The place opened at 9:30 am and I was the first customer for the day. The person behind the counter was very nice and took my order quickly. The Filipino food they prepared looks freshly made. If you wanted Filipino food, you had to come here and enjoy all the food that your nanay used to make
