"Everything was just so fantastic. I have been around New York and been looking for filipino food. I have to say the dessert was out of this world. Fresh authentic natural and organic. Go for the jackfruit ice and the halo halo. The taste is very natural and not so sweet as is supposed to be. The service was amazing and friendly so the owner who took time to explain every single dish :) 10/10"

"We come here often because the food here is consistently delicious. I’ve seen reviews that this is not authentic Filipino food. I can’t speak to that, but I can say that all the dishes we’ve tried, which are about 80% of the current menu are fresh and tasty. We love the fried pork, crisp and meaty. I also suggest the desserts, which are not overly sweet and really great for sharing. I’m a big fan of the ox tail, but it is a fatty dish (that’s just the nature of ox tail). If you want to go at a great time, try going on a Sunday for a late lunch."

"Absolutely perfect! The equinox salad which was a special had lotus root and a donut peach and was phenomenal. The curried goat and chicken thighs were incredible! Great quick service and delicious food!"
