Room temperature was freezing...some rice was hard (either old rice or cold rice) I've ordered 3 plates unfortunately it wasn't hot but more likely between cold & warm ....felt like if I add 2 more minutes in the microwave it would have been hot enough. The sauce was gelatinous, probably not hot enough. Don't get me wrong, I love philipino food, but this time .....I was disappointed.... never have I ever had a plate semi hot & hard rice ...

Saw this place on Social Media & decided to check it out with some friends & boy did we not regret it. Nice little Filipino restaurant that served what I'm told is authentic food & I believe it. I had the Pancit Canton which were stir fried noodles that were well seasoned & nicely spiced. I added Lechon for an extra 4$ & it added a nice meatyness & crunchiness that was complimented by the seasoning & texture of the noodles. Definitely worth coming here.

A one man show that was put very well together!! Our chef's cooking & customer service has been the best I ever received in a while. The bangus is AMAZING & crunchy (just how I like it). Longsilog brought me back to the good ol' days. I love the restaurant's vibe & decor. My fiance & I enjoyed our time!

I recently had the chance to try the boodle-feast (Kamayan) dining experience. It was an engaging & interactive meal, where I got to enjoy the food with my hands (plastic gloves were provided). The price tag was $60 per person, but the portion sizes were generous, making it a worthwhile & enjoyable experience. I loved the garlic rice & the deliciously charred meat.

On aime bien ce resto simple & sympa. Le bouillon du bulalo est savoureux & réconfortant, riche en collagène, & le kare kare a des saveurs riches. Le slider au boeuf & fromage est aussi très bon. Le brunch AYCE du weekend est délicieux & copieux : les viandes sur le grill sont très bonnes & on a particulièrement aimé l'aubergine & les oeufs avec tomates. On y retournera assurément.
