I tried the sinigang and a tapsilog dish and lumpia and they were all fantastic. Someones Tita is in the back putting in work and they were so sweet and insisted on handing me my food each time. The bar itself though in the last year has progressively become raunchy. I get it though, its a bar. But the constant video cycling of booty shaking from their parties is a bit excessive. My first encounter here they were only playing filipino artists which I thought was rare. My next few visits filipino artists did not make the playlist. At 7pm the music volume was always at the highest level, I would have to scream for the bartender to hear my order. This no longer felt like a place I wanted to sit and enjoy my meal. Over all this place feels like its having an identity crisis. Like a 19 year old was given the keys to build this restaurant/bar. From the video games, strip pole, volleyball court etc it all feels so unorganized. The staff is friendly and the food is good, the environment just aint cutting it for me unless I was looking to start partying at 7pm on a wednesday.

Came here with my brother who loves Filipino food. My first time trying the cuisine. I got the…read morechicken adobo which came with fried rice and it was a good sized portion. The chicken was really tender and the broth was very flavorful. The entrance was a little tricky as there are two separate spaces. The front door is actually the take out area but the dine in restaurant entrance was on the side. Don't let the simple exterior and the fact that it's in a strip mall fool you, the dining space was actually really nice inside.

It was $7.99 and it was delicious! I've never had one with frosted flakes and I was pleasantly surprised. It never got soggy. It's always such a fun dessert to eat. I'll need come back and try some of their other foods as well! Also, the workers seemed very sweet.

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!

Typical carinderia style, turo-turo…read more For a Filipino in the area with not much choices... this is ok and my go-to whenever I crave for some filipino food that I can't or don't know how to cook. I always love Palabok. But this time, their palabok taste that something is missing... it lacks the taste of "tinapa" smoke fish. And for the price, I think it is pricey. We opt for a combo meal, rice and 2 choice of viands. It's just fine. Nothing special.

I'd like to start off by saying I have never had Filipino food so I have nothing to compare it to…read more I was not sure what to expect. The lady there was very kind and allowed me to try out a few dishes. My favorite was the beef and the pancit. I like the pork too, but it was a bit spicy for me and I thought it would be better once I got home and had something to drink with it, but it didn't help much. I really liked the dessert. She told me to try it cold and then to warm it up. I have to say that I liked it both ways. If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely stop for more of the beef and pancit.
