    Yummy Filipino food here! The problem is there are too many delicious choices so if you're like me with indecision... don't worry the owners will help you. We settled on 2 dishes + rice for each of us. I got the adobo chicken + beef and potato. The hubs got adobo pork + mixed veggie dish with bitter melon/ string beans/ eggplant. You get a jumbo scoop of rice (YES!). Wow wow wow it's so delicious, you can drizzle the sauce on your rice... yummm. I also got the tiny ube steamed rice cakes. Perfect ending to a delicious lunch. We'll be back for the tocino, sisig, and the halo halo and super friendly service. This place rocks on many levels.

    It's been seven years since my last time at this Filipino restaurant, as well as I am extremely happy to say that everything I had was delicious and well-seasoned. It is truly pleasing when a restaurant steadily maintains its quality over many years even with a a change of ownership. I consumed the entire Beef Kare-Kare and the whole Kaldereta for this meal. Kaldereta was savory, tasty, and creamy, making it the ultimate comfort food. The Beef Kare-Kare possessed intense flavor where it could stand on its own, even without bagoong (shrimp paste) They don't have the usual bagoong for this dish due to the ban (eye roll), they only have alamang (another version of shrimp paste) to offer. Another thing that was a pleasant surprise was the larger range of Filipino desserts. Many customary favorites, like halo-halo and leche flan, and countless other sweet treats have been greatly improved. It is a fine way to conclude a large meal. Visiting again after all these years makes me completely glad. For anybody who haven't been back like me, this is your chance to visit them again. Make sure to check their Facebook page for for their daily menu and for what Filipino dessert they have available for the day.

    Conrado is the new owner & operator of this Fine Filipino Dining spot, hidden in Plano! My wife & I dined in for an early dinner; Conrado operates the store; solo in the afternoon, dishes are prepped & precut in the morning. He has his 3 cute kids there, after school & they are very well behaved little ones, doing their homework. The service is awesome, Conrado took over the restaurant @ Dec of last year & has turned it in a productive & lucrative business. Overall, it's a hidden gem of old school Filipino authentic dishes that's made fresh & served hot! We had the sisig, dinuguan, beef soup & beef & vegetable mix. Real yummy & can't wait to come back! You're doing an AWESOME job Conrado! & you have a beautiful family! See you back soon pare

    Love, love, love this Filipino place! It's a hidden gem in Plano that serves authentic Filipino food. We ordered the pork and beef combo, milkfish, spring rolls, pork vermicelli, and halo-halo -- and everything was delicious! The vermicelli was perfectly stir-fried and well-seasoned, and the halo-halo had all the traditional toppings -- creamy, flavorful, and so satisfying. Everything tasted homemade, which made the meal even better. The food did take a little while to come out, but it was definitely worth the wait. I'll absolutely be coming back whenever I'm craving Filipino food again!

    Friendly service, enough seating, eating areas and restrooms were clean. Food was very delicious and the portions were good for the price. Highly recommend!

    New menu. No more all you can eat buffet

    I have been coming to and ordering from this place for years and always trusted them, but the recent ownership changes really show. I placed a big catering order for pick up weeks in advance for Christmas Eve pickup at 3 p.m. because I was throwing a 6 p.m. dinner party and I thought that was ample time. When I arrived, nothing was ready and there were lots of people just standing around waiting on their orders. No one could tell me when my orders would actually be done, which was incredibly stressful with a party clock ticking. I finally got my order right before 6, rushed home, and guests were already arriving as we walked in the door. When I left, there were still people waiting on their orders. The previous owners handled large orders so much better and I honestly miss them. The food might still be fine for a casual night, but I would not recommend this place for catering or any time sensitive big orders.

    Im Filipino and this is a filipino restaurant ... went on a rainy saturday afternoon but this place does not dissappoint , their combo meals are pretty reasonAble price .. you can eat in or get your food to go. Im too lazy to cook and this place will definitely satisfy your filipino food cravings .. they are under new management .. i like the fact that they serve it in real plates versus styrofoam.. the place is very clean.. and the servers are very nice. My definitly go to place for my food cravings . By the way they have great desserts .. from kutsinta , puto and cassava .. i was too excited to eat it i forgot photos. I have to come back and try their ..silog menu

    3.5* Nice owners - it is a hole in the wall in the Plano area. It is cafeteria style when you order, and the food options change, and are on a rotation, so there's not a set menu to choose from! You get your own water and bus your own tray when you are done. I had high hopes because of the reviews, and unfortunately, the food fell a bit short. Ordered the specials - 2 meat and 1 veggie and 1 meat and 2 veggie option specials from the menu. The meat was tasty, but felt super oily when I ate it, as there was a layer of oil for all the meats that were ordered. The mixed vegetables was my favorite, but the jackfruit vegetable option was my least favorite, and I would recommend not ordering it. The flavor was lacking for the jackfruit dish and the texture consistency was super off putting to eat. I would be willing to go back to try other items on the menu because the owners were really kind, but would probably order their drinks, so I did see a big family group come in and order drinks for everyone and leave.

    Bitter melon, bistek, lumpia

    Cute mom and pops place. Service is not fast but it is understandable. It's family working together to provide good filipino dishes. People love it and don't mind the slow service. They are very friendly and nice. Portion is generous. I can't seem to be able to finish my meal. Desserts on weekend are wonderful. They make different dishes daily depending on what ingredients mami found at the market. Lechon kawali and lumpia worth the wait. My husband tried it once when i ordered to go for him and my son, and he asked for that meal for his birthday. Definitely give them a shot, support the small neighborhood businesses.

    My first time having Filipino food - I was a little bit lost because there is no clear labeling as to what everything is. One of the clients kindly helped us describe everything. The owners are nice but struggled with English. Overall, it was a great experience.

    White rice, lumpia, pork adobo/pork belly, chayote with shrimp

    I love your food. Have you gone back to the filipino buffet? I miss this. Thank you!

    No. The owner told me they won't go back to buffet style ever. Plus the prices went up again and there is no more combo option.

I got a small gumbo and catfish nuggets at 6.99 each. Even though they have a sign on the door for drink specials, apparently they didn't last more than like two months because they aren't offering that anymore. So I just asked for a water cup. 15.12 and you order at the counter and get your own drink. The water button on the soda machine sticks, so prepare for it to run for like a full 45 seconds before it magically unsticks. Gumbo came out in about ten minutes, but weirdly wasn't hot. Catfish nuggets came out about ten minutes after that (weird since they are both apps) and I asked for my soup to be reheated. I tried a nugget and it was ok, but there's like zero seasoning on them. Bland as my last tinder date people. For a place that touts New Orleans in the name, there's no creole/cajun influence here. Everything was just bland, especially the gumbo. By the way, he took it to reheat and by the time he returned it (14 min later) I needed to leave. He was nice enough to give me a lid and bag though. Service was ok, but there's like one guy and when he disappeared it was for ten minutes. I don't know if he was having to cook it or what but it made service slow. I've visited three times now and feel a three is appropriate. It's fine if you aren't looking for what the name implies.

I am not a big fish person and hubby loves something fried so a healthy fishy meal isn't our first go to, but we went outside our normal tonight. And we left so satisfied.

We did the crab fingers (special on the black board... pay attention to the specials they are fire). Tons of crab for the price and the chowder type sauce was so good.

The best thing, in my opinion, were the Mac and cheese crab cakes. A truly genius combination. Lastly, the fried catfish was just okay. It was kind of bland but not super crispy either. The portion is really big though. The fries on the side were soggy too and could have spent a couple more minutes in the frier.
