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.

Today we came in for pastries and halo-halo (mix-mix). Have had them before and always good. The halo-halo today was a re-imagined version. Still had all the same ingredients - shave ice, milk, ice cream, ube, various fruits, sweet beans, etc). I don't know if how it was served today is how they make it now or just how this young lady makes it. She took her time with it. I wasn't much paying attention to it. But when we got in the car and I really looked at it, there are layers of ube in between layers of shaved ice (see pic). Those layers and the fine texture of the ice - magical!! I normally would have to take this home, dump whole thing in a bowl to mix it all up (just my thing). Not her version. She cracked the code on this one. We slurped it up right there in the car. Girl, simply amazing!!

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!

Happy we tried this place. Angle Parking can be tricky in front on a busy street…read more Very friendly woman- the mom of the owner took my order and gave it to me when I got there. Ordered 2 noodle dishes and Shrimp fried rice. We all loved the shrimp fried rice. Nice and flavorful. 6 pieces of shrimp. Bigger shrimp but kind of wished there was more. Take a pass on the Majong Noodles. Our whole family was so confused about this one. Noodles with clump of sweet peanut butter on top. Not a sauce. It reminded me of peanut butter cookie dough before the flour went in. Cute place, definitely try it!

The store isn't fully stocked as he is expecting more shipments this week. Most of the items were not price tagged yet, but the prices are slightly higher than your big box stores since they're smaller. That might be worth it to not have to drive 20 minutes to get to another store. 20lb bag of Three Horses rice is $21 and a 2.5oz bag of shrimp chips are $2. They are planning on carrying a wide variety of Asian groceries, including Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, and Filipino food. They have sauces, rice, noodles, snacks, some clothes, hair dyes, beverages, frozen food and some refrigerated food.

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.

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.

Checked out this pretty new Asian fusion restaurant that opened up in Aurora. It has kind of a…read moreclassy feel but it's casual. Leilani has a pretty good variety of Chinese and Japanese inspired appetizers and entrees. Has some good drinks that go well with it basically. The food is high quality at pretty good prices. A lot of things to get here. It's not a very big menu but that makes it easier to choose obviously. This is Asian fusion so it's not like it's authentic but this is good for what it is though. A few things can get pricy but prices aren't that bad. The service is also great which helps. It's about $12 for the cheapest cocktails. They often have some rotating seasonal specials. It's about $15 for an entree. There's only a few that are vegetarian so that made it easy to pick something. I got the Truffle Shuffle, which is a maki roll. This has avocado, caramelized shallots, pickled daikon, and roasted shiitake mushrooms, and is topped with a tempura crunch with kimchi and wasabi. Full of flavor. This is a good choice if wanting light meals. For sure it's not authentic but it's not trying to be. It's a good mixture for American palates. There's a few things okay for vegans and vegetarians.

I originally came across this place a few weeks ago, but at the time I was with a large group and…read morethe wait time for dinner was a bit too long for our liking. I finally came back with a smaller group on a Friday afternoon and the place was pretty empty. Our server, Tariq, was the BEST! He did a great job introducing us to Leilani, offering menu suggestions, refilling drinks, etc. Everything on the menu sounded so good. I tried the chicken katsu sando. The Japanese milk bread was so fluffy and fresh, the chicken added a nice crunch, and the toppings were a nice punch of flavor. On the menu, it said it came with yam chips or edamame so I asked for edamame. I think there was some confusion though cause my sandwich came with chips and I was charged for a side of edamame. The edamame had a lot of flavor. I never thought I would write this in a review but I almost wish it was more bland. Edamame aside, this place is great! Service was some of the best experiences I've had, I loved the decor, and most importantly, the food was delicious!

I don't like leaving bad reviews but I'm going to be honest. My husband and I ordered two milk teas…read moretoday and here's what went wrong. The drink was spilling as the girl in the drive thru handed it to us because the lid would not stay on. The milk tea was kind of warm and lacked in sweetness. I'm not a fan of super sweet drinks but it could use just a tad more sweetness. I also think better quality cups for the drinks would go a long way. If it wasn't for the napkin, I would have had milk tea spilled all over me during the ride. The reason why the lid wouldn't stay on the cup is because the cup they served my milk tea in was defective on one side. I wish the girl at the drive thru would be more attentive to that. Not to be rude, but it's common sense that if a lid isn't closing properly, the cup should be inspected or changed and not served sloppily to customers. I'm Filipina as well and I was excited to see a drive-thru Filipino spot in Bolingbrook. This is my review based on the experience we had today. I hope this feedback helps you guys in the future.
