    This place gets extremely busy on weekends. And for good reason. The food is reasonably priced and the service is excellent. I come here because they have some Filipino favorites. Lapsilong is a classic Filipino breakfast dish and they do it right.

    Love this place! This restaurant is so consistent with their food and I love that! The first time we ate here we only did take out which can be a hit or miss at places, but it was excellent! Everything was correct, with extra sauce, napkins, & utensils if you want. We just finally dined in and I tried the Tapsilog and it was delicious!! I loved the steak and the egg together. So good!! When we got takeout previously, My mom raved about the burger here- she's picky and hard to please at times so I had to try it and I must say it is delicious and a great option even for breakfast! Restaurant has very cute decorations, plenty of seating, food came out quickly, & the staff was very attentive. I wish I knew who our server was, I can't remember her name, it was last Saturday in a little back room and with brown hair, anyway she was super nice and had some regulars in that loved her too! This is a great place to take the family for breakfast and brunch!

    I have been here a few times now and I am NEVER disappointed. My daughter brought me here & it is easy to see why she loves it so much! The food has amazing flavors! Fresh. Vibrant. Nice sized portions.. I could go on & on! Plenty of parking and clean bathrooms Why haven't you visited? Thank you so very much for a pleasent & mouth watering meal every time! It is very precious time with my daughter & I am grateful for a superb place to go & catch up with her & her husband! ((( thank you )))

    Gross

    Ate here with my mom about a month ago for Sunday brunch. Although it was terrible, I originally was not going to write a review because I usually try to support local business. A parking lot altercation with the owner made me forgo that rule. To start the food was gross. Eggs tasted like powder and the steak was leather. I would be happy with this if it was a free meal, but it was extremely over priced for what you get. Coffee taste like folgers but somehow worse. Wish I could give this a 0/5. save your money and get a better breakky at Wawa across the street.

    Garlic Fried Rice - The Real Breakfast of Champions Filipinos have a lot of trump cards, but morning cuisine was a hand I thought the Hoosiers had. I'm not saying this beats your traditional 2x2x2 or gravy laden plate, but A2Z's splash of Oceanside removed the very notion of cortisol from my system. Don't worry though, service remained the Midwest nonchalant we all know and love, believe that. It's a must to kick things off with some fried biscuits for the table. I'm firmly a savory guy, but a sampler of hot cinnamon sugar dough deserves the play. Following this up with some marinated Tapsilog steak strips felt akin to a well-timed no-look one-two passing combo. Seamless and sexy. Could the portions have been larger? Absolutely. But coming off of Thanksgiving everything feels too small. Just a growing boy finding his way in the world, can you blame me?

    Wow. What a find. If you are looking for a local place with all kinds of atmosphere and fantastic food this is your place. Came here the morning after a the Sammy Hagar concert and it was fantastic. I had the low carb plate. The eggs were perfect. My son had the A2Z sandwich and it was flavorful. The service was very good. He was helpful and my Cody never went cold. This is a can't miss. Highly recommended.

    Daily/weekend specials- the Island Burrito was great!

    I'd say this is one of the best cafes around Indy. The owners are very friendly and work with the staff and socialize with patrons. Food is unique: Polynesian / American blend and everything is always sooo good! If you're looking for a change from the ordinary, GO HERE.

    Ala Carte French toast
    Brittney R.

    I wanted to go here because of the Hawaiian items on the menu, specifically the spam musabi. When I arrived at 12p on a Sat, they were packed! I had to wait about 3 min just for a seat at the bar. I noticed on the menu that it said the spam musubi was available in limited quantities, so I was surprised when they said they still has some. I ordered one spam musubi, one Ala carte French toast (2 pieces) and a POG to drink. The musabi was good, but I felt like it had too much rice. The flavoring of the spam was overpowered by the rice. The POG was mostly orange juice. But the French toast was good. And the service was good too. I don't know of I'll be back. I was a bit disappointed. The items are definitely better in Hawaii.

    Fish and chips #ReviewsByRL

    A friend and I have decided we want to "eat through the alphabet," so of course our kick off restaurant needs to be A2Z! I had actually never been there but knew they recently moved to a new location on 96th and reopened March 1. The atmosphere is very mom and pop, a little cluttered decor, honestly looks like they have been there for years rather than just (re)opened. Our waitress was very friendly and kept telling us how they were a mom and pop shop. They were still doing a limited menu, but still plenty of options. We had the fried dough, I had the california omelet, and my friend had fish and chips. The food was good. My omelet was very well stuffed. The fish and chips seemed a little lesser. For the atmosphere, it is a little pricy by my standards. We split the bill, I got the 5 dough bites, omelet and a diet coke. Plus tip was $30. But yes, I would eat there again, especially as they build their menu back. #yum #ReviewsByRL

    Have always wanted to stop by for breakfast and was not disappointed! Service and staff were top notch, and the traditional Hawaiian Loco Moco took me back to the North Shore! Such a great vibe ... can't wait to visit them again at their new place just west of their current shop on 96th. Definitely check them out, and eat local! Mahalo & Aloha!

    Specials are special.

Creamy, slightly tangy, and topped with lobster--it's not something you see everywhere, and they executed it really well. My husband tried the shrimp burrito, which was great for a seafood spot.

I feel like most seafood places will have vegetarian options by way of removing the fish from pasta dishes or salad, but it's also nice to know that you can get chicken as a substitute on most of these kinds of dishes, too. Granted, it's just like chicken tenders, but still good nonetheless. I really like their firecracker pasta, which is moderately spicy in my opinion. There's no particular fishy smell here, which is always a good sign that the seafood they serve here is freshly prepared. Our food always comes out quickly for lunch and we've been a group as large as 8 or 9. I do believe that ordering is mostly done online in their mass Ave location, though. I don't really seek out a place like Slapfish on my own (no offense at all, just not a seafood girlie!!), but I would assume that it's a rather popular establishment as they recently opened a fifth location in the greater Indy area. If I did like fish and such more, I'd probably be here on a more regular rotation.

I stopped here for my final lunch in Indy before heading to the airport. I wasn't in a hurry but was skeptical with one person working but man, did she hustle! I created my own bowl and it was just what I was looking for.....quality fish, spice and all the add ins (they don't charge extra for avocado either, hooray!) As always with these places, love that you can opt for the poke over greens vs. rice so this is easily a healthy meal if you want it and a great place for beginners wanting to try poke.

    Stopped by here after work. This location sits in a strip of businesses most popularly shared by…read morehot boys chicken. I recently came back from Hawaii where poke is popular and I saw that they offer kani along with their raw fish options. I was excited because I've wanted to try the other things that come in the bowl but not necessarily raw fish. I love spicy Kani so I got the make your own bowl which seems to be popular because you don't get charged extra for items. Service was great! Not sure if he was the owner but he was very nice and made great suggestions since it was my first time. I didn't care for the seaweed salad so I'll opt out of that next time. It was like sushi in a bowl. Next time I'd like to try their shaved ice.
