I have been to multiple oriental store's in Canton, Akron, and Cleveland and this by far has one of the biggest and best selections. During covid I got really into the homemade sushi and "thai" dishes and love to make them at home whenever possible. They have everything you could need for a perfect night in recreating some of the beloved dishes we all know and love! Some of my favorites are the Pho Broth Base, "fish cakes" aka Kani, the vast selection of frozen items, and the selection of soup spoons and chopsticks! The lady who works there is also very nice and helpful. If you don't see something ask, they probably have it!

The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable of the food. Ginataang tahong (mussels simmered in coconut milk), chicken inasal, tocilog and vegetable lumpia. The chicken inasal was delicious, tender and juicy; flavored just right. The vegetable lumpia was good but was a bit oily, but it is fried. The stand out was the mussels. This is my first time having mussels cooked in coconut milk and it was fabulous. Loved it, absolutely one of the best mussels I've ever had.

The broth that comes with it was great. The bok choy was cooked perfectly, and the noodles are soft as well. The beef was very tender and complements the contents of the dish. The BBQ chicken skewers were not that great. But still, the texture and char on the chicken was pretty good. I would recommend stopping here if you're in the area and want to try Filipino food.

I have yet to visit the restaurant, so this review is for the food truck. I first discovered the food truck at the Beachwood Truck Park (now closed). I then rediscovered the food truck during the World on Stage Concert at the Cleveland Cultural Gardens this weekend. Both memorable food experiences! Food: My order during the latest visit included Chicken Tocino ($17) and Ube Cheesecake Cookie ($5). I felt like the food was much tastier the second time around. Chicken Tocino included generous serving of meat and was perfectly marinated. The dish was so plentiful with egg, meat, rice, and marinated veggies. I ate with my eyes closed! Ube Cookie always satisfies my soul. It had a good amount of Ube, was sweet, and delicious. If I wasn't already very full, I'd go for seconds. Almost forgot, you get a buzzer/pager that rings when your food is ready. It's a great idea for large scale events and venues where the truck might be. Service: Everyone working the food truck was nice. Asked me about my meal, wished me a pleasant meal, and provided me with to go bag for my leftovers. Interactions were very warm and friendly. Find the food truck: Street Food Finder site will allow you to find their food truck locations. You can mostly find them at Lakewood Truck Park. By the way, cash is the preferred payment method. Credit cards are accepted. I look forward to visiting the restaurant and further exploring all the menu. I also want to see if the brick and mortar location also has cute palm vibes like the food truck. I'll certainly catch Parilya food truck around the town too!

I needed some brown rice and they had a few options and in different sizes. I also found Sambal Oelek, a spicy Thai condiment, that I've been seeking for a while.

I was there around 1130AM and I asked to order take out and they said they have cold versions of the food they can heat up. I'm not sure if they weren't ready to cook (store was very empty) so I just grabbed something random and had them heat it up. Great options for Filipino food as long as you know beforehand what you're expecting, I was just confused.

Pork belly in the bar buns was a single chunk of tough meat. Not the juicy fatty soft meat it…read moreshould be. The bar buns otherwise were tasty with plenty of sauce and some crunchy cabbage. The drumsticks were absolutely ginormous. They took 45 min to come out but were perfectly crispy outside and very well sauced. The side of radish was literally plain radish cubes with no seasoning- gross. The cole slaw was unremarkable. The bulgogi was Westernized shaved beef with seasoning. Not legit bulgogi but close enough to not be teriyaki beef either. The buldak was very spicy and had an interesting flavor. Kind of muted- not bad just not my cup of tea. One employee was the host, server, and bartending the entire place and I felt bad for her lack of help.

The fried chicken was very soggy, and we ordered rice on the side for an extra $2.50 they placed it in an extremely small side dish container. I asked if this was all they gave and the server said yes, and when I asked for a refund they said they could not give a refund. Would not come back.
