We ordered okoy, palabok & bulalo. okoy is not that tasty but texture was good, palabok had shrimps that are not well
cooked & still grayish & had to return to the kitchen, the waitress asked me to remove the shrimp out & put in a small plate. We have received the okoy & then the palabok… I have finished eating the palabok & still waiting for the bulalo for my husband. I had to ask because no one came back to our table & it's been AN HOUR ALREADY. They did not tell why it has a delay for it to be served & I think it was forgotten. We waited for another 10mins & it finally arrived! I asked how long it takes to prepare & was told 25 mins usually. It is not worth the wait. Go to AIZA for bulalo & CUISINE DE MANILLE for palabok, it's way better.
The bulalo was SALTY more salt & fish sauce added. The waitresses should get a better training for a serious customer service. The restaurant is nice though.
Go see for yourself!

I ate here maybe 3-4x already. The taste of the food here is a hit & miss. Sometimes salty, sometimes ok, sometimes meh.
Ambiance is good.

Rsvp for 12 people on Saturday, May 25th for 4:30pm. Cons Service: Server was not the quickest. She never came to ask us: How was everything? Is there anything else I can get you? Do you need containers for leftovers? We always had to go to her or flag her down.. Asides from that, they played happy birthday music & sung the birthday song for the celebrant which was a very kind gesture! Thank you! Halo-Halo was bland & in my opinion, not your typical Halo-Halo. There wasn't much shaved ice. Pros The food was delicious & fresh. Not too salty to which was great because Filipinos tend to over season their dishes. We ordered the following; - Kare-Kare: loved! Veggies we're cooked to perfection (nice & crisp. Not over cooked). Oxtail was dinger licking good. - Sisig: first time having it & loved it! Nice kick of spicyness. - Palabok: good & fresh but not my favorite - Eggroll: Piping hot, crispy & fresh! - Porc bbq: very good & flavorful. - Lechon: nice & crispy! - Fried calamari: delicous & not overcooked. - Steamed rice: Fresh batch! - Adobo rice: didn't get the chance to taste it. - A whole ube cheesecake: delectable! I couldn't stop eating it! It was so good! Overall, will definitely come back & order for catering! Thank you!

Decided to try Kalapaw & it was 40% salty. We got several dishes as it's our first time to visit! We ordered the chicken inasal but it was disappointing. It was hard & salty, good thing it came with a vegetable salad to help with the saltiness. We also ordered sisig but it turned out salty, too! The kare kare, lechon kawali, calamares, sinigang, garlic rice were good tho! Overall, I recommend you to visit & try! :)

This was my first time trying Filipino cuisine, & I was delighted. The prices are reasonable, the serving size was good. I had a main meal along with a dessert, which were both delicious. One thing I could mention is that some people may find the food a bit salty (maybe it was just the meal I chose), but I like salty food. I guess one could ask to not have it as salty, but I really enjoyed it as it was. I also had some sort of fried banana dessert which also came with some ice cream, which was so good as well.

We ordered a mixed platter because we were craving for a “boodle fight” & the food is just okay. Not recommended to eat “boodle fight”, but I guess their other dish looks pretty good.

Additionally, have asked for a “bagoong/alamang” & they served the one that is not cooked & its very salty, there’s more room for improvement.

The ambience looks pretty decent. The mixed platter was served with chicken inasal(needs more seasoning/taste), salmon ceviche, salad, chicken wings(taste good), shrimps, & rice.
Suggestion: hope they add more fruits (mango/watermelon), side(tomatoes), make the chicken inasal more tastier, instead of chicken wings it would be best to switch it to lechon kawali & maybe add some cooked “alamang”.
