Testimonials

I'm half Filipino and was adopted and short of having to make myself some Filipino food. I'm happy to have found a place in the Bay Area when I come home. My friend took me here, and with a lot of the Filipino food places I've found, it was counter style and I'm not generally a fan of the food I've gotten. The girl was so friendly and great and even offered us some food samplings prior to ordering so we knew what we were eating. I must say it was ONE OF THE BEST Filipino restaurants I have been to in a long time. Very comparable to home-cooked food at my Filipino friends' house. There is food from my culture that I've not even heard of before, but it was really good. Longsilog (Longanisa, a type of sausage, sinagnag which is garlic fried rice and itlog, which is fried egg) was excellent as well as the oxtail and chicken calderon. You can get a plate with 2 or 3 items along with a hefty portion of rice for about $8.00. Small place for sitting, but clean. Highly recommend this if you've never had Filipino food before.
