We ordered food for delivery good for three person & tried the calamari, pork lechon, lumpia, fried chicken, & ensaladang talong.
Unfortunately, the calamari was very disappointing. It looked like leftovers-just a very small squid, poorly coated & not properly fried. We took one bite & had to throw it away. If this had been served while dining in, we would have returned it. It also did not match how it appeared on the menu.
The pork lechon was also unpleasant. The smell of the meat suggested it may have come from an uncastrated boar, which gave it a strong, off-putting odor.
The lumpia was acceptable, & my husband was able to eat it along with the fried chicken.
However, I personally did not enjoy the chicken due to its smell, which seemed like it may have been cooked in old oil.
The only dish I truly enjoyed was the ensaladang talong, along with the rice.
Overall, this experience was disappointing, especially considering the variety of dishes we ordered.

The food is great. But I recently ordered the dobis crispy spicy Chicken from uber eats & it's a total scam. I have ordered from this place multiple times. & they used to give you these huge pieces of drumsticks & thighs. Now it's'7' wings for the same price! & the'seven' wings aren't seven. 1 wing is a drumette, a flat & a wing tip. They split it in 2 & they call it 2 wings & they cut the wing tip. So you get 3.5 wings, not 7.
Edited after store reply:
Yeah it's a scam because you're using the same image of the drumsticks as you use for the wings. & you no longer have the'bone in blah blah' listed. & & they were never called'Bone in chicken'. You literally just added'wings' to the end of the title. They were the same price. & I have pictures to prove it. You even kept the other description but changed the name! As you can see from my order in 2021 they were 15$ same name'Crispy Spicy Chicken. & then today Crispy Spicy Chicken wings 14.95! Oooh not the same 5 cents less, lmao. I included your responses in my pictures so people have context. I ordered from you 100s of time! Dont play me.
Edit edit:
Bet. I'll see you soon 👍 Since you seem to not understand how misleading or a'scam' it is, I posted another picture of it showing that I'ordered last year' but that order from last year was NOT WINGS. Yes, I've ordered a 100 times for you & no, I didn't read the title because I'VE ORDERED SO MUCH I THOUGHT I WAS RECEIVING THE SAME THING I ALWAYS ORDERED THAT HAD THE EXACT SAME IMAGE & DESCRIPTION & SAID THAT I ORDERED BEFORE. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WAS'WINGS'. In uber eats, there's a function that says'order again', that's exactly what I did & then received something different from what I ordered last time. You literally changed one thing about the listing & kept everything else the same.
Food was extremely oily. But I am giving it a three stars because the cashier was nice.
Update: Yes, I am aware certain dishes are expected to be richer. We had the lumpia as a side, I don't think the excess oil was drained well enough. So we had some oil dripping.
I bought some fried chicken & I find it was overpriced for the pieces that i got, $18.00 for three drumsticks three other small pieces chicken , no thighs, the chicken taste good but the pieces that I got are not worth the price..
