Tried this place during restaurant week. It's pretty small and basic, with about 6 tables inside…read moreand outside seating available. You order at the register or you can get served at your table. We chose to order at the register, and they gave us a buzzer when the food was ready. The restaurant week menu was $19, and it came with soup, pork or chicken Skewers, a couple mounds of rice, noodles, and 5 egg rolls. Dessert was also included which was a banana roll and Ube ice cream. The food was really good. The quantity was just right, although I could have gone for a few more egg rolls, and maybe a third pork on a stick. The staff were very polite and helpful, and although all the tables were full, it was still quiet in the restaurant. I got a pitcher of water for the three of us, which was complementary. You can get cans of soda as well. Small bathrooms, but very clean. Overall, I liked the place a lot, and if I'm ever in the neighborhood again, I shall return.

It's similar to a bodega set up where the front of store is a grocery store, and the back is where they have a bunch of fresh hot food. My favorite things to get are the arroz caldo and turon.

We were greeted quickly and warmly as soon as we came in. And the same lady who welcomed us in was also our server. Let me tell you she was absolutely incredible. She was personable, helpful, very welcoming and had a great sense of humor as well. She was constantly checking in on us, which is great, especially because this was our first time. You can tell from the pictures we ordered a little bit of food not too much and let me tell you everything actually turned out surprisingly delicious. I do find the Filipino food is a little bit of hit or miss, especially in the states. However, everything was delicious. In fact, we only had a little bit of leftovers and managed to clean the plates of everything else. This place is truly authentic. You can still tell that it's owned by a family, which I think is fantastic. The decor is incredible as well. But most importantly for me, which is not how photographic the places, but rather the quality and the taste of the food. One fun thing is that the café next-door is also owned by the family that owns this restaurant. And so you can order food and desserts from the next-door and they'll bring it over to you at the restaurant. I will do a separate review of the café as well. Another fun thing was that as we were on the way out from dinner, we noticed that they were setting up a traditional kamayan set up on a table nearby for a party of six. We had the privilege of meeting the owner and he helped tell us about their set up their pricing and also that quite frankly you can customize us any way that you like. We will definitely be coming here again, even though it is quite far, but this was well worth the drive.

Tried this place for the first time on Jan 2nd. Ordered a take-out online. The first thing I…read morenoticed was, during the checkout process, the form asked for a tip, and had 20% checked as a default. 20% for what??? Handing me a bag? I got kung pao beef and a couple of other things. The "beef" in the kung pao was so fatty and chewy I could literally not eat it. I kept trying, but it was EVERY PIECE in the container. A total loss. I called to let the restaurant know. The woman who took the call assured me my card would be credited the amount of the item. This was outright FRAUD, as my card was never credited for this food I could not eat. She also said the manager would call me back, which also did not happen. Bad enough the food was inedible, but blatantly lying to me was way over the line. The rest of the items were on the bland side, and I'm not sure if I would have come back. But after what happened, I'm avoiding this place like the plague. I cannot afford to literally throw my money in the garbage.

We came here specifically to try the Filipino food because the Chinese food you can get anywhere…read more When looking for this place, look for New Chinese Kitchen otherwise you'll miss it. It's across the street from Arby's in a small strip mall. You'll definitely have to make a U-Turn because getting into the lot is weird. Plenty of parking since it is a shared lot. We decided to do two combo meals plus the aristocrat chicken. When dining in, there are about 4 tables so it can be limited if there is a rush hour. The owner was very pleasant and he explained about the items before we looked at the menu. Lumpia was crispy and tasty. Garlic rice was a little oily but still good. Overall, it's about a 4. I would have given them a 5 but that rock hard crispy kare kare is hard to forget. However, I'll return to try other items. -crispy kare kare with garlic rice and lumpia 3 - I wanted to like this but the crispy kare kare was a huge let down. It was very tough to eat. I've had Filipino food many times and it was never this hard. It's a shame because the peanut sauce with the veggies and eggplant were delicious. -bbq pork belly (liempo) with garlic rice and lumpia 5 - I really liked the BBQ pork belly. Very easy to cut with a spoon. Meat was well seasoned. It is fatty, so it's best to eat it with rice. -aristocrat chicken 5 - highly recommended. Chicken is extremely flavorful even for leftovers. Meat is very moist and juicy. Nice balance of sweet and salty. I should have gotten the 10 pieces.

Reminds me of the old Filipino spot I grew up going to way back in the day but way cleaner. Think…read morePanda Express but with classic Filipino dishes that are made fresh and offerings change daily. You can opt for a 2 item combo with rice ($14) or a small ($12) or large ($20) size a la carte item. Food was pretty good that day. Tried the pancit, beef tapa, pork menudo, and kare kare which were all solid and a tad on the saltier side (in general, I find all Chicago food to be on the salty side). Service is minimal, order at the front, take your food and sit wherever you like, and pay when you're done in case you change your mind and want something else. =P Anyways, the vibe is definitely like showing up to your tito/tita's place to eat (you probably aren't that hungry, but will proceed to over order and over eat like a good Filipino). That's all I got on this one. 'Til next time, cheers!

Wow great food for such a great price!!!…read more I was picking up Navy graduation tickets a few blocks away and found them on Yelp. Glad I tried them out. The charge by how many entrees you choose. I got the 3 entree choices for $15, also added the rest of thier lumpia which were $1.25 each. They are only open until they sell out every day. They dont have set hours when of when they close, so if they run out of food you miss you. So get there early. It was only 1230pm and they were already out of several dishes. I got a spicy pork, chicken adobo and thier Wednesday special which was peanut butter pork. All of them were tender and flavorful. The inside was sorta small and had about 6 or 7 tables. I saw a lot of people picking up food and getting it to go. Several people in line asked if they had specific dishes like the bbq, which they ran out of. So seems like they have quite a bit of regulars. The guys working were super nice and since it was my first time there I asked what they recommend and they didn't disappoint. If you like this type of food, like I do, then I would highly recommend this place.

Service was nice. They were friendly helpful on the menu items. Food was good. I had gotten the pork belly which was really good. Tasty crispy and it came with rice, which was good And also salad and a dessert which were not bad. The place is small only has two tables so if you're planning on going just know that.
