While this beautiful space is night and day in comparison, something was lost in the transition. Prices standout, but considering that Indonesian restaurants are far and few, this is it for over 400 miles. The coziness is certainly gone, and the friendliness somewhat too. Per usual, we ordered their delicious Rendang which tastes very different wherever you go. We also enjoyed the corn fritters. I appreciate the very creative cocktail menu. They used to be a must stop when passing through Ashland, but that's not a certainty anymore. Oh well, I wish them well.

The Kare-Kare is amazing: the peanut sauce was delectable, and the braised beef just seemed to melt away. Love the green mango salad. Julienne cut mango, perfectly ripened for the dressing for a not-too-sweet blend of flavorings. Perfect. Can accommodate gluten-free. I'll be back again very soon.

Should you eat here? My recommendation is:…read more Yes, if you've stopped by every "New American" eatery in Ashland and want to relive your youthful visit to the Philippines and can't find any other place. No, if you're expecting perfect execution of the classics. Half of what you'd eat here, is more along the lines of "Pinoy-inspired". If you go here, be aware: - There is no fish sauce on the table - There is no vinegar chili sauce on the table - There is no salt on the table - A lot of the dishes here are missing many, many traditional ingredients. Many of which can be pre-stocked ahead of time or grown locally, so there shouldn't be a good reason why these dishes shouldn't have at least 50% of the base requirements. Adobo Chicken Seasoned and fairly traditional tasing with a good bit of seasoning and flavor. IMO lacking some tanginess, but that's a family style preference and can change from place to place. Green Mango Salad Has all the ingredients of a green mango salad but lacks the most important ingredient; shrimp paste and a pinch of salt. Kare-Kare Avoid this dish. I ordered this because one of the first photos showed shank bones (shank or flank is used as an acceptable replacement for what is traditionally Ox tail), so I was fully expecting something of that nature, especially considering shank is plentiful in this area. The meat added was very dry slices. The base lacked salt and fat during the cooking process, so it came out very bland. The string beans were boiled (again without any salt). String beans in this dish are traditionally served fresh, or if you cook them, you cook them in the broth, and/or pre cook them with some type of sodium on a pan and thrown into the pot. And because the base lacked fat that would have come from shank or ox tails, the base really suffered. Another missing ingredient was shrimp paste, and braised eggplant. Very disappointing. Sinigang Don't order this. This dish tased like water with a little bit of tamarind powder. This dish is missing so many ingredients: Taro root, okra, chili, fish sauce, fresh tamarind, water spinach. Powder is fine but it's missing so much that makes this dish unique and flavorful. Also note that this place is on the pricier side, so not getting the basics right hurt a little more than just the wallet.

This is a unique shop where you can discover/pick from an extensive list of hot or cold herbal and medicinal teas, herbal soda, and or a local craft IPA, cider or mead! They are now hosting various classes and events (see website calendar). There has been a tarot reading happening almost every time that I've visited. There is a little "bookstore" with seating to browse/buy off to the side of this open space. There are several sitting areas to choose from, each with a different vibe. A great place to sip tea and chill if you want to come with some friends or sit alone. Super chill and very peaceful feeling as soon as you enter the door. I strongly recommend coming in on a cold weather day and enjoying a pot of tea, herbal latte, and/or on of their seasonal elixirs. YUM! and all beverages are vegan and sometimes they have a variety of vegan baked goods. They will also make custom tea blends if you just need to re-up on your loose leaf tea drawer. *ALL dried tea ingredients are stored in glass jars.
