It's all about the Halo Halo! Delicious! Nice little restaurant with some dry goods. Family owned alway nice service!

I've been meaning to try this place for a while now and finally came in a few weeks ago for the halo halo and it was 10/10! Just came back today to try their food and it did not disappoint. Don't let the little market look for you, it is very clean and makes you feel like you're in a cute little market in the Philippines! Must try!

We ordered Halo Halo with Ube Ice Cream. It was delicious and clean to eat. I mention this because we've had halo halo numerous times where it was so messy to eat. Food looks good however I am unable to eat most of it. One thing that I can eat and will eventually try is their chicken empanadas. Service is quick and excellent. Interior is clean. Parking is plentiful. I hope you decide to check them out :)

I love it here! They have a small market area with kakanin and snacks & you can order fresh, hot meals at the register. They also have a cute seating area if you'd like to eat there. Not sure if she was the owner, but the woman at the register was so sweet. She even helped me to my car bc I ordered too much for my hands to carry (I was carrying my baby too). I don't have pictures bc we dove into the food so quickly but I ordered the fried squid, tokwa't, lechon plate, luwag, & halo halo. It's been a while since I've had Filipino food outside of home bc I'm not to fond of the Filipino restaurants here but everything I ordered here was AMAZING. The luwag was my favorite! Definitely coming back!

Combo meals, fried pusit, steamed rice, 2 fried eggs, tomato and cucumber. The other plate was with 3 hotdogs.

We love coming here almost weekly in my days off!! This is our go to place for Filipino brunch. I love that not only they serve Filipino hot food but also it is a market. They serve your favorite tapsilog, Longsilog, bangsilog, corned beef, jeprox, dried squid and Filipino desserts. The whole family who owns it are nice and accommodating. And this is also my go to place to order party platters. My favorite is the siomai, my co workers just love them and the first food to disappear! The place is clean and quiet and they always play relaxing elevator music or piano music. They accept phone orders, just be ready with your credit card.

Food was fantastic. I had the corned beef and my gf had another beef dish, I don't remember what it was called. Here's a pic tho! Definitely coming back again. Favorite Filipino place for sure. Great portions with great taste and reasonable price.

from LA and stopped by this place couple of years ago and now back. Nothing like this in LA, and it is a must to stop by. The desserts are very delicious, not overly sweet like some other Filipino restaurants. Price is very reasonable also compared to other places. Would always come back when back in town to try the other desserts and even the hot foods.

Stack of Snacks!

Was in the neighborhood and stopped by to pick up snacks for the flight home. The place was so clean and the small seating area was cute! I only picked up the ready made snacks and there was a nice variety. Lots of items were available in the refrigerator as well. My favorite was the Pastillas de Leche. Pastillas de Ube was something new to me and I probably won't try it again. The Bibingkang Malagkit was good (but the TSA screening machine didn't like the tin it was baked in- haha). Packaging was neat and displays were incredibly organized. It was great to see freshness dates on all the items. Service was very nice and helpful, too! I'll keep this place bookmarked for future visits to Las Vegas...because SNACKS!!!

The owners here are so nice and welcoming here. And the layout of their store area and food area is super easy to navigate and you're not running into people when it's crowded. I've tried almost all their hot food that's is in the warming cabinets except the empanadas as it's a new thing they have now. The only thing I don't like to much is their Lechon, it's pretty soggy and very fatty; kinda needs to be cooked longer so the fat can render out more and the sling can be crispy. The other things though are very nice and taste good. I'll definitely have to come back and test out their breakfast items that they sell when I'm craving a Filipino breakfast. If you're looking for some quick grab and go Filipino food this place is your spot, but a good thing to do is also call them to see what they have and if you're wanting it then have them hold it for you while you drive down because some stuff sells out pretty quick.

Decided to swing by this place on the recommendation of a friend and it ended up being a great choice for a quick lunch. The photos that were already on here make it seem like it is more of a market, than sit down restaurant, which it is, but there are quite a few food items available to eat there and 5 tables to eat at. I decided to get the some pancit malabon, lechon kawali, some kutsinta and pichi pichi. This was plenty of food for my party. The lechon was really good, with a dipping vinegar based sauce that made it the food not feel heavy. The pancit was also really good. I would assume/hope the catered food would be similar to what I ate, but I haven't utilized that service, so I am unsure. If you want to try some Filipino food, to eat for breakfast or lunch, or maybe take some pastries home, I would definitely recommend this place.

You know when you're at a Filipino restaurant or market and you see the random selection of desserts and pastries on a styrofoam tray wrapped in Saran Wrap... and you see a bit of mold growing on it!?! Well that doesn't happen here! They actually mark their food with a date. I was expecting for them to have some karioka in the fresh/hot food side but they only had turon. Sad face. They also ran out of chicken siopao, but had plenty of pork ones. We opted for some Kakanin and I got some original milk pastillas - I guess it's fresh and I'm used to old stale ones with the strong powdered milk taste.

Theres no coconut on the kutsinta and no latik on sapin sapin!!!

I ordered my coffee, and they brought out my own french press, creamer, and sugar. My fiancée had a fresh orange juice. Our waitress was very attentive, and all our food was perfect! I ordered the corn beef and hash, and a side of bacon. Funny enough a couple next to me asked how their bacon was here, and i told them order it cause its always nice and crispy big slices! My fiancée ordered the chicken and waffles! Their chicken and waffles are his favorite cause they are kimchi waffles, however not too spicy so good for breakfast after a night out. We tried their garlic fries today and they were so addictive I have been coming here for years, and they never disappoint me. Also if you are looking for bottomless mimosas they never miss.

We ordered the fish and chips, which were just okay (small fish portion). One of us got the short rib sandwich and really enjoyed it. Another coworker ordered breakfast and liked her meal as well. The biggest disappointment was the pull-apart Cinnabon. Unfortunately, it wasn't soft, and the cream cheese frosting wasn't sweet at all. It definitely needed more sugar. No one in our group liked it, and for $21, I'd definitely pass on it. Our waitress was really nice and attentive. She brought us all the condiments we asked for and kept our drinks filled, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a nice time celebrating, but there were definitely some hits and misses with the food.

A friend recommended we stop here for breakfast or lunch on our way to Zion, Utah. We always make a…read morestop in Vegas to stock up on groceries and grab brunch before heading to Zion for camping. The food here is incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious - but they really need to step up their dishwashing and make sure the food is served hot. There's nothing worse than ordering coffee and seeing purple lipstick on the rim of your cup. It makes you want to leave right away. Then comes the inner debate - do you say something and risk being that customer, or just wipe it off and move on? On top of that, getting food that's supposed to be hot but arrives cold is frustrating. You sit there wishing you were at home where you could just microwave it - because the food is that good and would taste even better at the right temperature. Our experience wasn't helped by our waiter, who seemed disinterested after the lipstick incident (same guy mentioned in previous reviews that comes off rude AF/ agreed!). We didn't feel like asking for much after that. On the bright side, one of the waitresses was amazing - she looked like she was carrying the whole place. The chef clearly knows what she's doing because the food coming out of the kitchen was fantastic. That said, attention needs to be paid to cleanliness and serving hot food. There's no excuse for that. Despite these issues, I gave it five stars because the problems are fixable and don't take away from how incredible the food is. For reference, we visited on Friday, January 3rd, in the morning. There was a nearby parking structure and no wait time. The decor is a mix of farm-to-table and modern bistro - nothing overly exciting or disappointing. We were just looking for a good brunch spot, and this place is truly a hidden gem. Hopefully, they address the concerns we mentioned because it's worth coming back for! __________ To the Chef, Your food is incredible - truly Michelin-worthy. However, the staff is serving it cold and sometimes on dirty dishes. This isn't the first review mentioning these issues. Also, the tall white guy with grey hair was incredibly condescending and rude. Hospitality doesn't seem to be the right fit for him. It's disappointing to see someone like that representing the amazing work and love you pour into your dishes. On the flip side, the waitress with long brown hair was picking up the slack and holding the place together. She deserves recognition - maybe even a promotion. I hope you see this because if the team can consistently serve food hot and on clean dishware, this place could easily become the top brunch spot around. We appreciate your talent and hope this feedback is helpful! - Vee & Mike

It has a rustic, darker ambiance and not your usual bright and sunny brunch spots. The menu not too big, but offered enough varieties that we decided to try the biscuit and gravy as well as the corned bee hash. We also got house coffee and they were from mother ship coffee. Food came out quickly, but they were lukewarm and felt like it was already made and just put under a food light to be kept warm. The biscuit was good and soft, but the gravy was a little too salty. The corned beef came in a smaller portion than I expected, and the beef was diced too thin that they didn't have great texture and flavor. Coffee was good, but overall food was not as good as we'd expect. Service was average, the waitress was nice but didn't offer much service besides bringing out initial water and coffee over. No one really checked in on us after the food was served. I'd most likely not be back as there are many other brunch places in the downtown area to explore.

Bacon Nation slaps slices on just about everything but French toast, and even that can be topped with bacon butter and bacon-infused syrup. The build-your-own omelet is a worthy breakfast, stuffed with two veggies and two meats of your choice. Cheddar, diced onion, and two types of bacon inside three eggs was a winner. Be sure to get some thick bacon slices to go (mango habanero, maple glazed, honey-cured) - always nice to chew on during that nine hour Sunday evening drive back to SoCal. And unlike those anorexic slices that fast food places put on their burgers, you can actually taste this bacon. Open 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., they serve lunch too and if you're in 'growling stomach mode', try the Boarrito but be forewarned - this is a pork-fest of a monstrosity that's not designed for consumption by weight watchers or thoroughbred jockeys. A large tortilla filled with ham, sausage, bacon crumbles, pulled pork, guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo is then wrapped on the outside with countless slices of more bacon, smothered with cheese sauce and sour cream...now I need to take a nap just thinking about digesting it. It's a massive meal and I feel like the waitress could have positioned me on all fours in front of a feeding trough in order to graze on it. Bacon Nation is located on the D's second floor inside a very clean and bright dining room with lots of booths, a counter, and an ultra-pleasant hostess named Angel. In summary, a well-earned 5 oink review is deserving because their food is that darn good. "Everywhere there's lots of piggies, living piggy lives.
