Hapag Ihaw-Ihaw is dishing up classic Filipino comfort food. From Lumpiang Shanghai to a sizzling Sisig, Crispy Pata and Halo Halo. They even make their own sauces that are bottled and you can bring home. They seemed to be set up for take out and catering. But they do have seating for about 20-25 people. We ordered: BBQ Pork Combo meal $10.50 Chicken Inasal Combo meal $10.50 both with Garlic - Annatto Rice +$.75 each and we added pork spring rolls $4 The combo meals are tasty and filling. With a slight char on the BBQ pork which is what I enjoy when having skewers. Honestly the garlic- annato rice wasn't really worth it. I personally couldn't taste it over the sauce on either the BBQ pork or the chicken Inasal. And would have been happy with just regular rice. The lumpiang was meaty and everything I look for in a crispy spring roll. The dessert options area also great. Not sure if its seasonal but they had a slice of coconut (buko) pie in their fridge. Whole buko pie need to be per-ordered and picked up on the weekend. They also have leche flan and ube cheesecake for a sweet treat. Over all a great comforting small business with friendly staff and a meal under $12. How can you go wrong? Give Hapag Ihaw-Ihaw a try if you're in the area. read more

This small family Filipino restaurant offers food at a low price. However, to keep prices low, they only had one server when we visited. That means in order to get anything, you must wave down the waiter. The food is also very mediocre in terms taste. To make matters worse, the quantity of food is not filling either. Finally, many of their entrees do not come with rice. Therefore, they nickel and dime you from the individual orders of rice that you have to make to go along with the entrees. Only street parking is available for this establishment so be prepared to circuit around the neighborhood several times before finding a spot. read more

Have you ever been curious about the filipino food hype? Well this restaurant kind of made all the sense. Everything was absolute perfection. So crispy and fresh! I obviously had to go for some popular items and not call it a meal without trying their egg rolls too. Service was pretty amazing too. Restaurant is relatively small and i'm unsure how busy it does get but there was only 1 other group of people eating while my family and i was there. Food came in a speedy manner. Food portions are also generously pretty big. Parking around that area is all street, lots of residents only parking zones too so be prepared. They take all forms of payments. read more

Came again shortly after our first visit. They have a good special - 3 pork skewers on rice for 8.50. Pretty good for today's prices. The staff are friendly. Food comes out slow so expect to wait 15-20 min for your meal. When ordering take out, I'm going to call it in so I don't have to wait. This is walking distance from my house so it's convenient if we don't want to cook. read more

If you like crispy German pork knuckles, you must try the crispy pork knuckle here. The meat is soft, moist, tender. The skin is super crispy. The BBQ pork skewers make me think of those BBQ pork skewer in Thailand. These are the two dishes I had and I recommend them both. Street parking. Will definitely come back to try the pork cheek dish and also have the crispy pork knuckles again. read more

Hapag Ihaw-Ihaw was exactly what we needed after getting off a cruise ship and eating buffet food for seven straight days. The flavors, the freshness--everything hit the spot! Every dish we ordered was absolutely delicious and exceeded our expectations. My sister and my husband are both amazing cooks, and even they were blown away (which says a lot!). If you're craving authentic, high-quality Filipino food, this place is a must-visit. read more

B never had Filipino food before and it just so happens that we were in the area and there is Hapag Ihaw-Ihaw. So why not... I told B that my usual Filipino dish that I always like ordering is the crispy pata. Its my go to and my favorite part of this is the nice crispy skin. We also ordered a side of garlic rice. It was nice touch with our meal. I think next time I will stick with regular rice. The crispy pata was very delicious. It was cooked very different from other Filipino restaurant. The price is slightly cheaper than say if I went to Max. Anyways, they do have combo specials if you are not too hungry or if you want something small. The crispy pata (large) was enough for two of us. We also ordered the ube cheesecake to go and that was OMG. It was so delicious. I highly recommend getting this. Another go to item that I like getting at Filipino restaurants is definitely the Halo Halo. Unfortunately, they don't have ube ice cream in their halo halo so I decided to skip it. I will definitely be back again. Food was very tasty. read more

Yesterday 11/21/24 (3:00 PM), I walked in to inquire about their popular crispy pata. The courteous and friendly young gal assured me that it is indeed crispy on the outside while moist and juicy on the inside. She also told me that all they had left were SMALL pork legs (S-$22, M-$24, L-$26). The older lady in the back, who I presumed to be the owner, surely overheard the entire conversation as the place is quite small. I told the young gal that I would return in a few hours for dinner. I returned at 5:45 PM and as I was about to place my order, the same young gal said that all they have now are LARGE pork legs. I reminded her about what she told me earlier to be the polar opposite. She had an awkward and uneasy look on her face as she came up with the excuse that all the SMALL ones had sold out. I asked if they had any medium ones left, and she said 'yes' - that she could give me a MEDIUM (??? - the inventory keeps on changing). At this exact moment the older lady (owner) walked by and said that I should go for the LARGE as I get more for my money. The owner also tried to explain away the mystery of the ever changing pork leg inventory by saying that orders and deliveries are fluid and can't be controlled. Hmm....such a drastic change in a matter of 2.5 hours. Really? Sounded very suspicious to me. Clearly I knew at this point that both persons were lying and the young one had been instructed on what to say so they can charge more. To my surprise, the young gal then rang me up for a SMALL crispy pata! Upon realizing her mistake, she asked me for the $4 difference. I paid the additional money but by this time I am aghast by the bumbling orchestration of this complete fiasco. The deception just keeps on unravelling as evidenced by the error of the rattled young gal. This was her obvious Freudian Slip. When my crispy pata arrived it did not look like a LARGE, but more like a MEDIUM. For all I know it could have been their SMALL. It was crispy on the outside and moist enough on the inside. It was good but not great. I would give it a 7.5/10. My dining experience was tainted by the obvious display of dishonesty staged by the owner and her employee. The awkward actions of the young gal, who had 'uneasy and shame' written on her forehead, spoke volumes. Clearly she was coerced into the deception. The integrity of a business should never be put on the line for a few measly dollars. read more

Hapag Ihaw-Ihaw - Supposedly a Large crispy pata. More like a M or a Small as the plate is not that big -use rice bowl as reference. $26 for this? Really? - Filipino Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I live and work near here but never been to this hidden gem. I was disappointed myself! I should have tried it more earlier. My Filipino co-worker and me had Sunday dinner and lucky to have explanation by native. I couldn't choose BBQ chicken or Chicken inasal. We ordered both and decided to share. Honestly I loved both. Very juicy chicken and charcoal grilled outside. But not hard. Just perfect tenderness. They tasted similar but inasal tasted more aromatic, rich, deep flavor. Next time I will try it again. Or add on! Ube cheesecake is good too. But ube flavor was like a hint. Not so strong. read more

Great Filipino restaurant. Authentic food. Love how they do their sisig dish. Small dining area, they're not large so they won't be able to fit large groups (20+). Their ambiance is ok. It's decent. I don't know what service is like in house because I haven't actually sat in. I've only ordered out. But their service when I call in to order is usually pretty good. The food is usually ready within 10-15 min. So pretty quick. As for pricing. It is a little on the expensive side at about $16-17 without tips and tax. Seems to be the going rate for food these days for most places unfortunately. Parking can be a little hard to find. You can try to park in and around the neighborhood with risk. I would not encourage it. There is free parking farther down the street from the restaurant - maybe about a 7-10 min walk. Not too bad. You can park in front of the restaurant. But there are parking limitations for when you can park there, and if I'm not mistaken. Might be pay parking as well. There's not a lot of spots in front of the restaurant. Maybe 3-4 spots for cars. But if you don't mind paying for parking. There is that option available. Location isn't really close to any transit. So this would be difficult to get to if you're not driving. Closest Skytrain station would be Commercial Drive Station - and that's quite a ways. Looking at probably 20 min to a half hour depending on the time of day and how often the bus is coming. My breakdown: Food 4.75/5 Price 3/5 Ambiance 3.75/5 Service 4/5 Location 3/5 Would recommend this place for Filipino food :) read more

Knowing about most of the Filipino Restaurants around Lower Mainland I must say that Hapag is one of the best restaurants out there if you'd like to have authentic cuisine made for you. The owner is also the chef at this place so he definitely wants to impress his customers. I do recommend booking ahead of time as it may become busy during dinner time as the seating is limited and they are mostly small square tables. The servers accommodate with what you want and they always help you decide what to order. I have currently tried: BBQ Squid Lechon Pork Sinigang Crispy Pat (Definitely a MUST TRY) Chicken Liver (My wife wanted me to try this and it was actually delicious) Lumpia Pinakbet. I will edit this with more information when I next head there. But this is a place you must try if you are craving a Filipino Dish read more

The last time I tried a Filipino restaurant, Max's on Kingsway, I walked away disappointed and vowed never to eat there again. So, I was a bit weary about trying out this place, which is two blocks from our home. I noticed the Yelp rating was 4 stars, which persuaded me to give Filipino cuisine another try. Glad I did. This tiny, hole-in-the-wall is clean and bright. There might only be enough space for about 16-20 patrons. A banner on the window indicated that it was their 2nd anniversary this week, entitling us to 15% off the bill. Bonus! My wife ordered the BBQ chicken on rice which tasted a lot like Teriyaki chicken. It was served with pickled cucumber which my wife enjoyed. Serving size was adequate, and chicken was well glazed with sauce. Nothing spectacular, but a solid meal. I ordered the deep-fried pork hock which comes in small, medium and large sizes. The small size, at $12, was large enough for the two of us. The skin was crispy on the outside, the meat was tender in the center and the surface meat was crunchy and savory. The serving size was generous which made me wonder how much bigger the large serving would have been. Best of all, they provided a vinegar/soy sauce dip which was absolutely tangy and made the pork meat really pop in my mouth. I would have liked to try the soups and noodles, but we were quite full after our meal. We'll have to come back to sample some other items from the menu. Our bill came to $18 with the 15% discount. I would have been happy paying full price so I left a nice tip. read more

Really not sure what to expect from Filipino BBQ, but was pleasant surprised. Parking is available on the side streets. The inside is more like a cafe or someone's dining room than a restaurant, but is clean and quiet. Very homely. Staff are very friendly. They had a sisig special the day we went - something about sizzling pig brain and snout. Unfortunately my friends weren't adventurous enough to try. Most of the dishes are easily shared, but some of them seem like they were more geared towards individual portions. Something to keep in mind. Lumpia Shanghai - shrimp and pork spring rolls. Nice and thin. Served with sweet chili dipping sauce. Lumpiang gulay - vegetarian spring rolls. Also very tasty. Miki pansit - pork and shrimp vermicelli. A bit difficult to serve as everything clumped together. Taste was mediocre, but maybe it's because I'm used to the Chinese-style vermicelli. Filipino - BBQ - 3 skewers with rice. Quite good, though this one is a bit difficult to share. Pork bones sinigang (soup) - nice and thin broth. Pork bones are nice and big. Crispy pata (pork hock) - special mention. They deep fry the crap out of this thing. It's a bit heavy on the bones, but when eaten fresh, this dish is truly beautiful. The tangy sauce enhances the flavour more. As an added bonus, one gets a quick anatomy lesson on a certain pig appendage. Our bill was about $80 feeding 6 people. Not bad at all! The only downside to this place? It closes early, even on Fridays (2030). Not a complaint, but something to keep in mind. Go early. Will definitely be back. Recommended. read more

Came here with the guys to grab some lunch today. A bit of a hole-in-the-wall. Been here before a couple of times. Pretty good Filipino food, at least their grilled/BBQ food: chicken, beef and pork combos are pretty good value. The combos are perfect and come with rice, vegetables, and grilled meat of choice. We each had some of each among 4 guys. Very tasty and fairly good portions. Prices have gone up about 10% or so, but to be expected with the huge inflation we are experiencing here in Canada. Rather simple, but quite delicious Filipino food. read more

This was my first time ever trying Filipino food (thanks to International supper club put out by Issabelle, the CM) and it was pretty good! It was a LOT more fresh and light than I thought it would be, perhaps because I ordered a grilled chicken dish. I've heard so so so much about lumpias and was super glad to try it. The veggie ones were delish, would recommend. Lumpia is essentially filipino spring rolls. For my main, I ordered chicken and it came with a super delicious salad. The chicken was grilled nicely and not overgrilled at all. One thing I noticed about filipino food was that there were little to none vegetarian options when it came to main dishes. They would benefit from one or two stand out veggie options I feel! The sour pork bone soup looked reaaal good tho. The venue itself is quite understated and fairly small, but I kind of like that vibe. Very very casual. The place was quite bustlin' when we went so our food didn't come out the FASTEST, but it was understandable. The waiter did above and beyond by allowing me to charge my phone behind their counter! Overall, it was a good experience and I'm glad I got a taste of filipino food! read more

I'm finally glad I got to check this place out. Thank you, Yelp! In my opinion, the food is alright. To be fair, I might be a bit biased since I eat Filipino food on the daily. We had a reservation for 14 people and took up one whole side of the restaurant. Our server gave us menus and waters right away. There was another party of 7 that came in shortly after us, so our since there was only one server, he got pretty busy very quickly. I ordered the lumpia shanghai (pork spring rolls w/ sweet chilli sauce), lumpia gulay (vegetable spring rolls), pork ears + pork stomach skewers for the table. Both lumpia shanghai and lumpia gulay were perfectly rolled and yummy (my favourites). For my entree, I got the pork BBQ skewers combo with sinigang (sour soup broth), and that was just like a home cooked meal -- delicious. I think the server could've used an extra pair of hands because he looked a little panicked half the time, but he was very kind and still remained positive even though he was busy. I'd love to come back and try their ube cheesecake. It looked delicious! I'd definitely come back if I was in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. read more

Oh my!! Should have come here earlier. My Filipino visitors from Seattle insisted I bring them here as their friends in Seattle highly recommended this rather nondescript eatery - and it was such a great recommendation. I really don't know much about Filipino food but my Filipino host does and ordered the Sisig which they proclaimed as being excellent - both in taste as well as the required texture and crunchiness. Of course also ordered the large crispy Pata which was ever so good - freshly made, super crunchy skin and just the right flavoured meat. Have had too many hard, chewy not-really-crispy pata skin on pork that's like salty jerky that I really enjoyed this perfectly cooked pride of Filipino food! The Lumpiang was nothing special but the skewers were smoky goodness and I wish we had saved some room for dessert - which looked so tempting but we just couldn't manage it. Too bad as I'm sure they're gonna be as good as the meal we had. Recommend Hapag if you want a good intro to Filipino food! You won't go wrong here. And oh, didn't take more pictures as we resorted to eating with our fingers - as befit eating Filipino food - and couldn't much use my phone! read more

Okay. So. We came here looking to EAT. We have been walking around all day long and we were super hungry. It took us about 15 minutes to find parking. This was not very pleasant for hungry people! You will have to find street parking and be prepared to walk a little bit if you do not find parking right outside of the restaurant. Once you get inside, you may have to wait to sit, depending on how busy they are, they are very very limited on seats and tables. There are maybe about 7 or 8 tables and seat like 4 people each with not much room. We had to put 2 tables together, and it felt as though we were sitting with another family lol because they were so close to us. Although, the workers there are so nice. They try to accommodate you in any way possible. The food is great, and the Ube cheesecake will definitely not disappoint. Everything we ordered was delicious! We will definitely have to return. read more

Hapag Ihaw-Ihaw - Menu - Filipino Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Vancouver doesn't have a huge selection of Filipino restaurants compared to some other cities I've visited. So when I discover a good restaurant like Hapag I am thrilled. Looking at the small restaurant from the outside and peeking through the windows, you might be tempted to pass on this place. It's definitely very humble-looking. However, the hidden gems are the delicious and authentic Filipino food they serve up. I tried the soup, chicken inasal and crispy prata. Two thumbs up for the food. The flavors made my taste buds do happy dances. I wanted to sample their desserts but I was very full after my meal. Next time! The server was friendly and helpful. Being a small place with maybe 8-10 tables, there wasn't the hectic busyness you commonly feel at the larger busy Asian restaurants. That's goood in my books. read more

As I've mentioned on many occasions in the past, there is a distinct lack of Filipino restaurants in Vancouver. I'm still not entirely sure why. In any case, I heard about a hole-in-the-wall place on Victoria Drive called Hapag Ihaw-Ihaw so we headed over in mid-September to try them out. While they supposedly open at 11am (based on the sign on their door), they weren't open when we arrived. Seeing someone in the back of the restaurant, we decided to walk up and down Victoria Drive a few times to see if they were actually going to open or not. By about 11:15am, they finally had their open sign on and their tables ready. We decided on trying a few items including the Lumpia Shanghai ($4), Crispy Pata ($16 for large), Pinakbet ($12), and BBQ Chicken Combo ($9). Perhaps one of the things that creates a barrier for Filipino restaurants is the marketing of their dishes to non-Filipinos. In other cuisines like Chinese and Japanese, the name of dishes are fairly friendly and you can usually tell what you're ordering. The best dish that we had here was the BBQ Chicken Combo as the chicken was quite tender and served with a tasty pickled cucumber salad. Next up was the Pinakbet which is basically a mixed veggie dish with string beans, eggplant, okra, squash, and fish sauce. Lumpia Shanghai is basically spring rolls filled with pork and shrimp with a sweet chili dipping sauce. These thin spring rolls didn't have a lot of filling but they were crispy and turned out pretty good. The dish that their menu said is a must try is the Crispy Pata or pork trotter. We originally wanted to order a smaller plate but they said they only had large and extra-large available. Trotter is the lower part of the pig foot (unlike the pork hock which is just below the knew but above the ankle) so if you're a bit squeamish about it, this might not be the dish for you. Personally, I found that the skin was nice and crispy but the meat underneath was on the dry side. It does come with a soy-vinegar dip which helps with the dry parts of the trotter. Overall, I've had better Filipino food before and I found the service to be a bit lacking here. read more

Small, family run business with friendly service and good, authentic Filipino cuisine. I came here with my family and we tried a variety of items: Grilled Skewers (chicken, pork and chicken inasal) - Juicy, tender and flavourful. A must order. Pancit - Very flavorful, but a little wetter than i'm used to. Lumpia Shanghai - Nice amount of filling, hot and crispy, not too greasy. Sizzling Sisig - Minced pork and crackling, served hot on a cast iron plate. Very good. read more

I finally came back to try more dishes from this little place and again I was left with a full and happy belly. This time I got to try the famed crispy pata as well as some of the stewier dishes. Grilled squid - x-large size is biiig but still grilled perfectly Chicken inasal - the orders are per piece which seems a little pricey but the pieces are pretty big Kare-kare - I liked the richness of the dish; my filipino-food-expert diners said they expected it to be more thick of a stew and more peanutty but it was still tasty. Pinakbet - good varied mix of veggies Crispy pata - man oh man this was good. I married into a family that is serious about their crispy pata and they all said this was amazing. My husband is already plotting how to order a large size again....just for himself. $100 fed 6 of us with leftovers. I haven't tried their desserts yet but I'm sure I'll be back for a third visit soon! read more

Was craving for some Filipino food so I yelped it and came across this restaurant. It was a Friday night so the place was packed. Good thing we managed to nab the last table for 2. The menu is pretty simple. We got the pinakbet, sinigang soup and the pork skewer combo. The pinakbet was laden with lots of veggies (okra, squash, string beans, eggplant) which is good. Veggies were not mushy. I prefer it to have more of a shrimp paste flavor rather than fish sauce, but I'm a-okay with this dish. The sinigang came in hot which is good and had some daikon, taro and 4 pieces of meaty pork neck bone. The pork combo came with 5 small skewers, rice, salad and pickled cucumber. I love the skewers. They were very flavorful. I like the pickled cucumber too. Service is a bit slow as there was only 1 server and she was so busy with take out orders as well as serving the customers who are there. I sympathize with her. They need one more server on weekends I think. Value-wise, I would say it's pretty good value. Would definitely come back again, but maybe not on a weekday. Would love to try the lumpia gulay next time as well as the crispy pata. Next time... read more

I had a fun night with other Yelpers at the supper club. It was my first time trying Filipino Foods so I was glad that there were so many experts on hand. Our waiter, Massimo, had his hands full cause the place was PACKED!! Keep in mind this little gem closes early so don't think you have all night. I'm not yet up on the proper names for things so I'll just describe items and hopefully other 'newbies' will find it helpful. We started with familiar appies of deep fried spring rolls available as vegetarian or pork with a bit of veg. The pork ones come with a sweet chili sauce and the Veg you use the table options ( spicy vinegar, salty fish sauce or soya). One expert told me that the spicy vinegar helps with breaking down the high fats . We then moved on to the more adventurous appies PIG EAR AND STOMACH grilled to a near Crispy finish and cut into 1" size and skewered 3 for $3. It spelled delish and the texture was new but not unpleasant. It was like eating seasoned fatty Crispy edge of a piece of meat with a crunchy part (starts with C). I was less adventurous with the main course in that I chose the barbecued chicken combo $9 which has a slightly sweet finish to the meat and the spicy vinegar went beautifully on the veg and rice that accompanied it. The pork skewers 4minimum/$1.50 ea were tender and delish. Sadly we were all too full for dessert but there were some amazing choices worth saving space for on a return visit. read more

Ok lang. Lumpia were crispy and tasty. Dipping sauce wasn't homemade - it was the bottled Thai chili sauce. The caldareta lacked the tomato-ey savoury goodness that the stew is known for; but this could be a regional variation. If it is, then this region should change its recipe! The chicken inasal was tasty, but not worth the trip. The eggplant salad was kind of bland. Prices were kinda high. I'm used to Toronto, where Filipino food can be had pretty cheaply, and the quality is better. Wished Vancouver had better representation. read more

Supposedly the best crispy pata in town. I ordered the pinakbet, pork BBQ meal, and a crispy pata. It took 45 mins for the crispy pata to cook, I'd recommend that one call-in ahead to order. They have three sizes S,M,L. I'll start will the good. The crispy pata was phenomenal, it was crunchy, soft and tasty. The meal portions are good. Service was also excellent, they are very friendly and will give you recommendations if you're not sure on what you want. Why I am rating this place with four instead of five stars? The pinakbet and BBQ were bland, and parking was a pain. read more

Was craving Filipino food on our final day before flying back to Toronto and boy, did this place not disappoint! Crispy patta was on point... Nothing special but perfectly fried lol! The talon was a fresh take on your typical itlog talon and a nice counter to all the fried pork we were eating! Sisig was good... Though ive had better but nonetheless satisfied my Filipino palette. Rice and all the food portions are great! It seemed enough for 2ppl but I think could be enough for 3 maybe even 4. Overall, worth the experience and money spent! Would definitely return to try their other menu items. read more

Authentic, Filipino home cooking. I took some of my coworkers here who wanted to try some new Filipino dishes and I was glad that this was the place I ended up bringing them to. They of course wanted some of the items they were used to, like the barbeque skewers and the lumpia. Lumpia came out piping hot and fresh with a side of chilli dipping sauce. The skewers were juicy and packed with flavour. For something new for them to try, I decided to order crispy pata (cause who doesn't like deep fried food and crispy skin?) and pork sinigang. The sinigang tasted just like how my mom makes it, good citrusy flavour and tender fall off the bone meat. The crispy pata was definitely the winner here. It was freshly made, and the skin was so crisp! We ended up having some leftover of the crispy pata and took it to my parents. As soon as they tasted it, they ended up ordering for takeout! I've found that Filipino restaurants here don't place a huge importance on service, but the service here was very friendly. One of the owners, I think the mother, had come out to ask how we liked the food. Another table had ordered the special, the sisig. The table who ordered it were not Filipino, and the cook came to ask if they were familiar with the dish first and made sure that it was something they want to try out. Traditional sisig is made out of the pigs face (ears and snouts included) as well as chicken liver, so it's definitely a dish that not everyone may want to try out. I thought this was great service on their part. read more

5 star skewers!! Thanks to Simon K & Wendy Y, I stopped by this small yet clean & modern hole in the wall for some delicious Filipino BBQ skewers. $2.50 a skewer, minimum order of 2 - juicy & tasty. Give all 3 a try, I liked the pork & chicken inasal (subtle lemongrass flavours) the most. Comes with a small side of pickled cucumber & onions. Also had an order of the Lumpia - pretty good spring rolls, cute and tightly rolled. The pancit wasn't my favourite - we had the chicken with rice noodles and I ended up adding fish sauce & lemon to give it more flavour. Sliced carrots & cabbages just aren't my thing on noodles. Overall I'd definitely come back for more of those skewers and to try the pata! read more

I haven't had much luck with Filipino food in Vancouver. It's hit and miss with quality and service. But, I have a feeling Hapag is going to be my go-to spot. The skewers were good, the pork better than the chicken, and I'd probably ask for more BBQ sauce next time. It came with rice, a simple but crisp salad and some refreshing cucumber slices in vinegar. Good value for $8.50. I added a side of pork sinigang which was a good call. It's a fair sized serving for $3.50, with tender pork and balanced broth. I much prefer it to Pinpin's which I find too salty and lacking the right greens. Lumpia Shanghai was fresh and crispy but can't compete with Mom's. I'd put this in the same dining category as Hawkers. Nothing too fancy, but good quality and value, focused menu, and family run. Also a much nicer dining room and service. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu. read more

Mediocre food. Friendly service! The worst Sisig I ever had! Pork hock is good but not the best, it's quite bland... I had to put a lot of sauce on it. The Miki and spring roll was the only food my husband ate and totally ignore the rest of our order after 1 bite. We probably had more leftovers than what we actually ate! it's not an expensive place with most dishes $8-15 range but there are much better options in terms of food quality. The service was great though, the waitress is very friendly and did check on us a couple of times. read more
