Have you ever been curious about the filipino food hype?…read more Well this restaurant kind of made all the sense. Everything was absolute perfection. So crispy and fresh! I obviously had to go for some popular items and not call it a meal without trying their egg rolls too. Service was pretty amazing too. Restaurant is relatively small and i'm unsure how busy it does get but there was only 1 other group of people eating while my family and i was there. Food came in a speedy manner. Food portions are also generously pretty big. Parking around that area is all street, lots of residents only parking zones too so be prepared. They take all forms of payments.

Hapag Ihaw-Ihaw is dishing up classic Filipino comfort food. From Lumpiang Shanghai to a sizzling…read moreSisig, Crispy Pata and Halo Halo. They even make their own sauces that are bottled and you can bring home. They seemed to be set up for take out and catering. But they do have seating for about 20-25 people. We ordered: BBQ Pork Combo meal $10.50 Chicken Inasal Combo meal $10.50 both with Garlic - Annatto Rice +$.75 each and we added pork spring rolls $4 The combo meals are tasty and filling. With a slight char on the BBQ pork which is what I enjoy when having skewers. Honestly the garlic- annato rice wasn't really worth it. I personally couldn't taste it over the sauce on either the BBQ pork or the chicken Inasal. And would have been happy with just regular rice. The lumpiang was meaty and everything I look for in a crispy spring roll. The dessert options area also great. Not sure if its seasonal but they had a slice of coconut (buko) pie in their fridge. Whole buko pie need to be per-ordered and picked up on the weekend. They also have leche flan and ube cheesecake for a sweet treat. Over all a great comforting small business with friendly staff and a meal under $12. How can you go wrong? Give Hapag Ihaw-Ihaw a try if you're in the area.

This is really a great place if you're craving for simple yet tasty dessert…read more Its a family business and the daughters working at the front were very courteous and polite. I asked them what is the signature item and they quickly referred me to the halo halo and the tofu pudding dessert. Since I had just grabbed a latte somewhere else, I opted for the tofu pudding. I went for the small but I won't call it that...although their large then is indeed...well, large. It comes with a syrup much like the brown sugar you find in bubble tea. But they gave me pearls. It's not overly sweet at all and blends well with the rich flavour from the pudding itself. I'm not sure about other reviews that says otherwise. It clearly had a smooth tofu taste and it's confirmed by my friends who ate with me. Some say it's firmer than Cantonese pudding but it's a nice texture. Nothing to complain about. I think my serving at room temperatures was just right on this cool autumn day, especially when the pearls were still slightly warm. But I can see how this will be a refreshing summer dessert served chilled. Thank you to the whole family that made my day.

We ordered the pork belly kare-kare, chicken adobo, beef flakes, egg rolls, and pancit--every single dish was a hit. The portions are huge (leftovers for our group of four!), the ambiance is lovely, and the service is truly exceptional. It's one of those rare spots where you're happy to pay and tip well because the experience is just that good. If you're craving Filipino food, this is a MUST. We're already coming back for dinner!

Normally you need a lot more so this is an excellent little gem of a location to know. The service was really excellent, and you could tell it is family run. You can see also some personal memorabilia and collections in the bathroom, which really gives the traditional province feel of the Philippines. Philippines is a vast country with over 100,000 islands and this place gives me a feel of the province. The service was really good and the ambiance is nice. Though I would have life to see a few more things even like plants are photos in the main dining hall. Something to be aware of and it is a common problem for most places in Vancouver. Parking can be a real challenge so read the signs very carefully.

Dropped by during lunar new year. There were performances going on so quite loud and difficult to…read morehear the lady to order. Not much for ambiance as it's just in a mini mall food court. I ordered the small beef pares & my date got the Lomi. Didn't take a picture of the beef pares because it was quite small & didn't look much like the pictures on Yelp. The soups were all super hot temperature wise. Try not to scLd your tongue. The Lomi was humongous! My favorite part was the crispy pork skin. Large serving of pork as well. A bit thicker texture of a broth but it was more than enough. Wait for food was a bit long. We waited for almost 20 minutes. Perhaps there were lots of to go orders.

New Filipino gig in lower mainland, small place approximately houses 15 heads the whole eatery…read more Mostly Filipino customers lining up. I went here with a friend to try, well not bad actually, the carrying product is Lechong Cebu,a rosted pork. There are only few dishes in the menu,the server claimed they are coming soon. they also do catering service thats what the waitor told us. we wish to have a bulalo its a beef soup but sold out that day, so since we were already here and our cravings for this day is Filipino cuisine we ordered other availble dishes. First one is the pork sisig, it was good,we both dont eat liver so we asked the server to exclude it.oh how i missed home(Philippines) on first bite of the sisig,it was delish,the flavor of the spices,the lemon and the egg while it was smoking hot on a sizzling plate,very good. we ordered appetizer includes 2 Pork bbq, 2 feep fried spring rolls(lumpiang shanghai),and 3 pcs of chicken wings well i would say they were ordinary taste,we also got the beef caldereta,hmmmmm....another ordinary taste.plus we had the garlic rice and hot water with lemon. I am not sure if the dishes were pre-cooked. We havent try the carrying dish which is the lechon Cebu,for sure if we will come back thats the one we will going to order. Very small place,crews are bi-lingual and very friendly,you know friendliness is one of the best trait of Filipinos. They also sell some chicken skin chicharon and ube pandesal. Pricing is just okay,you pay for what you wil get. Theres no TV, but theres music playing while we were there.Wash room is available.(Needs a lot of make over and improvement with the interior design.) If am not mistaken this place is a bubble tea gig before,As per friends news it was sold. Wifi now is all over the city so i dont think that would be an issue. Parking is metered one unless you wish to park in some residential area and you will just do some waking...sometimes serious walking because it can be far. Most clients that day came for pick up orders..a lot of them so i feel that this place has a huge potential to bloom. Noise level is average and nothing i can say on the interior design because theres nothing at all, like i said it"s pretty new place. Good for small group and kids friendly. Im wishing the owner the best of luck...i hope they should incorporate more Filipino dishes in their menu. Accept credit and debit card and cash as well

Lots of seating. My only feedback for improvement would be to change your plates and cups - plastic plates and cups have so many scratches and are just an unhealthy option. This is the only reason I'm giving 3 stars.

Great food and great service!…read more My friends and I were in the area and they let me pick what to have for lunch so I chose this homestyle, quick Filipino lunch spot! I had the tapsilog and they all tried the sinigang (Filipino lunch special). They loved it and I enjoyed my meal as well! The food came really quick (probably 5-10 minutes or less) and my friends were very shocked! I explained to them that many quick lunch spots in the Philippines were like this especially in Metro Manila where people prefer to grab lunch as quick as possible and go back to work. This place brought me right back to those days! The staff were very friendly and hospitable as well! The lady at the counter even came over and had a quick chat with us before we left. Prices were great for the meal. This was a great find! Will definitely come back whenever I'm in the area!
