I love that they renovated and now have a dining room with iPads to order. It does get crowded on the weekends but you can get a table pretty quickly.

There's also baked items in the front including fresh pandasal. The best part of this place is the staff. They are the friendliest. I've been coming here for over 30 years and they always have a smile on their face. During Covid, they stayed open and literally kept me fed with their groceries.

We had the lumpiang Shanghai, chicken barbecue, pancit Canton, and a vegetable dish in coconut sauce. Everything came out fairly quickly and was flavorful and well prepared. I'd definitely come back for the food. Service was the weak point. Our order was taken right away, but our drinks were forgotten and no one checked on us again until we were basically finished. At one point, a street vendor even wandered into the restaurant and approached tables trying to sell baseball caps without any apparent response from the front of the house. The restaurant looks like it probably gets much livelier later in the evening. They were set up for music and advertise live performances, so 5 PM may simply have been too early to experience the place at its best. Overall, excellent Filipino food with service that could use some attention. I'd return, probably later in the evening next time.

The place has changed a bit, slightly different decor from the last time we were there. The atmosphere was more "bakya" than Kabayan (from across the street). Still nice. They kept the bar, which is good. The staff was friendly, but kind of rushed us to get our orders before the show started. They explained it would have been more difficult to take orders later. The food was really, really good. All the flavors were on point. For the appetizer, we had some Crispy Chicken Skins. It was nice and crispy, but it needed some more salt. We had the Port Belly Kare-Kare, Beef Salpicao, the Pancit Palabok, Laing and Gambas. The one that stole the show was the Bagnet. That was mind blowing! Very flavorful and I highly recommend it. Dare I say that the food was better than Kabayan. The Key Of C band rocked the whole night through. Everyone was dancing and enjoying the great music. It was such a fun-filled night. Definitely worth coming back to whether it's for the food or the music.

The line can get long, but it moves pretty quickly. There's also a clean bathroom available. We went as a group of six, so we got to sample pretty much the whole fall lineup, so read on for my honest take: ＊Adobo Caramelized Onion & Cheese Sourdough Foccacia $11 10/10 focaccia texture! The crumb was bouncy and moist, with a golden, crunchy bottom. Super cheesy, and I was obsessed with the sweet and tangy caramelized onions. The portion is big enough to share with 3+ people! ＊Kamotecue Danish $8.75 My favorite sweet pastry of the haul! The meringue was light and fluffy, and the caramelized sweet potato was the best part. It did get a little too sweet after a few bites though. ＊Hojicha Pistachio Chocolate Cookie $5.5 I've tried almost all their cookies, and this is my fav. The hojicha flavor really came through, with whole pistachios throughout. I actually preferred the bites without milk chocolate since it overpowered the hojicha. ＊Sweet Corn Old Fashioned Donut $7 Sadly, this was my least favorite. I liked the crunchy cornflake and the corn flavor was definitely there, but the donut itself was dense and dry. The texture was off. ＊Apple & Tamarind Fritter $7 Made with honeycrisp apple brioche and brushed with a tamarind caramel glaze. Loved the crispy exterior and the sweet-tart apple flavor! ＊Short Rib & Mushroom Danish $12 The laminated pastry was so flaky and crisp. The maitake mushroom was meaty, but I found it a little bland on its own. So the savory bechamel underneath really helped bring everything together. ＊Black Sesame Latte $7.5 A fall special! The toasted black sesame syrup was on the sweet side, but I loved it with almond milk, which brought out the nutty flavor.

I don't know much about Filipino food, all I know is that every thing I got here was heavily seasoned, hearty home cooking. I got the combo with three dishes. First I got the eggplant and pork, which was seasoned with shrimp paste. This was very rich and salty and savory, and although I have never really eaten Filipino food before, this dish gave me an intense food memory but I couldn't nail down what it was reminding me of. The pork is soft and fatty and gelatinous. I also got some kind of chicken stew which came in a sauce of tomato and bell pepper. This was my least favorite the three, but still a solid dish. It reminded me of my mom's chicken chili but more intense and heavily seasoned. The chicken has small bone fragments I had to be careful to pick out. Lastly, I got the pork adobo on the employees recommendation. It was super tangy and vinegary and the pork was very soft and fatty. I got noodles with my meal, but after they were already on my plate the employee told me all these dishes go very well with rice. I wish I had gotten rice, it seems that's the way to go and I will certainly do so when I return. This food is hearty and well seasoned and the portions were very large and more than worth the price. I paired my meal with a couple interesting drinks and a dessert from the grocery sections and had a fantastic meal. Looking forward to my next visit.

I'm a new fan! Was learning a lot more about Filipino restaurants in Elmhurst & on Queens Blvd…read more because they never seem like a lot of options for a decent lunch when I'd run errands at Target. A friend mentioned a grocery store nearby & I was happy enough since grocery stores are my one of favorite things. Before the restaurant space & grocery consolidated, I noticed the restaurant first (there were many different doors) & was wondering what kind of businesses was it - saw a few tables & it looked busy with people buying food at the steam tables. I looked but was intimidated by the different stews & nothing was labeled. Also, the giant name on the awning doesn't really show that it's a food business, I guess unless you know the language. I always thought it was some kind of furniture store. The "restaurant" has now moved inside the grocery store. I think it works pretty well, because it's so casual. There's about 6-8 tables and every time I go there's always aunties and elders eating. & a lot of people after work or maybe school going in to pick up their dinner. The food is fresh! I recommend the 2 combo plate & add a side of soup. There's a little bit of ordering anxiety, but I watch what other people are getting & if they're not too busy the young workers behind the counter are very nice about explaining things. I've had the beef calderata (beef stew & tomato), pork with liver sauce (actually really good, soy-saucey & deep. Not a strong liver flavor), vegetables (long beans, carrot & okra) in a sort of yellow, turmeric? coconut curry. Highly recommend getting their Sinigang soup of the day. If you like kind of hot & sour flavors (more on the sour end but a clear broth) try it! It's usually with pork but I had a special Salmon one & it was delicious! Found a whole okra & good vegetables in it. Ask for garlic rice (might be extra), it's worth it! There's a lot of options to try, sometimes there's BBQ skewers. You can also get individual sides, Pancit (a rice vermicelli noodle), saw a plate of Pancit Canton (lo mein noodles) come out from the back for a lady. Wish things were labeled or there was a written sign. Very much geared towards Filipino customers who are familiar with the dishes so I guess it's not a high priority. You also can't go wrong with Chicken Adobo (stewed chicken with soy sauce, vinegar, ginger. But has bones). The tables are clean & it's like a little canteen feel where every seems to run into an auntie or uncle they know. There's a case with a lot of coconut desserts & tapioca flour treats, and drinks. One single bathroom FYI. I forget if it's cash only (their register is separate from the grocery's), but paying with exact change in cash is probably easiest.

Every so often, I crave their Sizzling Sisig and beef Bulalo. Those are basically our go-to orders, including the Ukoy and Crispy Pata. If someone wanted to try Filipino food for the first time, I would 100 percent direct them here. I've tried most of their menu, and they're all solid choices. My only wish is that they opened later! 8pm is such an early closing time, but I understand that the staff work long and hard hours all day long. The service is usually on the slower side, but I can tell they are moving as fast as they can to serve the orders. What separates Tito Rad's from the rest of the Filipino restaurants in the area are their decently priced menu items and consistent food quality. Their dining room is nice and clean, and I especially love their private room in the back with the skylight. Last time I checked, there is no additional charge to reserve the back room for a private event! Super convenient and inexpensive option if looking to host a party.

But I'm a weirdo who loves innards & other bits & pieces in a world of non adventurous eaters. So it won't matter to anyone else. The flavor is delicious! But my favorite dish they make is the Beef or Chicken Pastel. It is so delicious! Tender pieces of chicken in a creamy sauce that also permeates the vegetables. Absolutely divine! Get it if they have it that day. You won't regret it. Have anything with the garlic rice. As a matter of fact, get garlic rice with the garlic rice. It's that good. And get the Pork with Eggplant.
