    Stoked to have another great restaurant downtown and Kuya exceeded my expectations! The chicken rice bowl was delicious and truly "falling off the bone" as the menu states. The halo halo dessert was different but very tasty. My friend got the pork dish and omg, it is a must! We sat at the bar and service was great, everyone was super friendly. Music was also 10/10. I can't wait to go back and try more!!

    Had been hearing a lot of good reviews about this place on TikTok, so I decided to give it a try on a Friday evening. The restaurant sits on the corner and is very small inside, but they also offer outdoor seating. It shares the area with another restaurant next door that also had outdoor seating, and honestly, when I saw some of their food coming out, I got a little confused because it looked much more appealing than what was offered on this menu. It was pretty chilly outside, so although we originally sat outdoors, we eventually moved inside. The restaurant appears to be fairly new, which may explain why the menu is still pretty limited. There weren't many options, and some of the menu descriptions didn't really give a clear idea of what to expect. I noticed a frozen drink machine inside and thought that's what I had ordered, but my drink ended up coming on the rocks instead. The drink was just okay -- not bad, but definitely not something I'd order again. For food, I tried the chicken skewers and noodles. Unfortunately, both were underwhelming. The noodles looked appetizing, but they were bland and clumped together, and the chicken skewers were dry and just didn't do much for me flavor-wise. On a positive note, the service was good and everyone was friendly. Overall, I'm glad I gave it a try and can say I experienced it, but it's probably not somewhere I'd revisit.

    As a fan of both Jollibee and lumpia, get the lumpia. We ordered one of everything on the menu and three orders of the lumpia. Incredibly good food and great cocktails!

    Great atmosphere, music and customer service. I ordered a cocktail it was delicious. Then the Kinilaw, what a great dish, this will be my go to dish!! Then pandit, I was too full so took it to go!!! Will definitely be back! Wonderful addition to Main Street.

    We tried this spot for date night and we really enjoyed both dishes. Definitely one of those places you leave excited to come back and try more on the menu. The service was great too--super friendly and made the whole experience even better. Looking forward to more!

    Mocktail and water

    Food was amazing!!! The chicken was tender and rice was perfectly cooked! I got one of their cocktails as a mocktail and it was very refreshing. Everyone was nice and vibes were so open. Definitely will be back and need to go at night for a Dj set

    Never had Memphis bbq so we were super excited to try this place that's been on triple D…read more Also, my rating might be a little biased due to spending lots of time in TX Owner was extremely nice, ambiance felt homey Staff was attentive Pretty slow when we got there, not many patrons as it was mid afternoon but the two customers that were there looked happy eating their meals Sandwich was severely dry, but a GREAT portion size, the thing was huge. They def didn't skimp on the protein so I give them that. Next time I'll just put a lot more of their spicy bbq sauce on it Disappointed in the sandwich, & didn't get the onions/pickles I asked for but the chopped chicken, & sausage were pretty good Coleslaw was surprisingly pretty good as well But their spicy bbq sauce was GREAT!!! will definitely be back to try their ribs this time

Even though I'd eaten lunch elsewhere, I just had to get a sandwich here also. I was undecided between the pulled pork and brisket so asked the young lady who works there her preference, and she said she does not eat pork. (What?!?) Shouldn't that be a requirement to work at a BBQ restaurant? Hmm...anyway....I chose the brisket sandwich which she and someone else recommended. Wait...no, I chose the jumbo brisket sandwich and man wasn't it JUMBO. That was a lot of meat. It was good and cooked perfectly, but I did expect the meat to be more flavorful. I really like the sauce though. Perhaps, I'll try Tom's again and get the rib tips. This visit is 3.5 stars though.

    I accidentally ended up at this spot, I was actually supposed to be at Blues City Cafe, and I'm so…read moreglad I did! The atmosphere was welcoming, lively, and full of great energy. I sat at the bar, and my bartender did not miss a beat. Even though I was dining alone, she continued to check on me and made sure I was taken care of throughout the evening. I got to enjoy two different bands, and both were amazing! However, the final performance was definitely my favorite. Her voice was both soothing and powerful, and when she started singing Tina Turner, all I could do was smile. What an incredible performance! Now, let's talk about the ribs! They were delicious, full of flavor and literally falling off the bone. The baked beans were good, although they didn't blow me away. The green beans, however, were a miss for me. I think they were trying to do too much with them; sometimes simple is better. Overall, I had a wonderful experience. The live music, atmosphere, and those ribs made this accidental stop well worth it. I'm definitely glad I ended up here, and I would absolutely recommend checking this place out, especially if you enjoy live music and good barbecue!

The owners are Taiwanese so if you're South East Asian and are looking to cook some of your curries from scratch, you might be out of luck. The owners don't cook themselves so are a little lost even when you tell them what you need lol. Still, it's good enough for canned food, bottled sauces and pickled vegetables and what not. Wednesdays late afternoons and Thursdays are good to come get your weekly fresh vegetables. That's when they the truckloads of fresh vegetables and fruits get delivered. They sometimes have cooked dim sum to sell. They cook them on Saturdays... so if it's Friday, I wouldn't buy them since they've been sitting there for a week! Fresh fish, crabs and lobsters. They'll even clean them for you - ask before you let tell them what you want - the female owner can get moody lol.

Just beware when you are buying frozen food or fresh meat, check the expiration date and make sure it is not double labled. It happens to me serveral time that the food is spoiled because it is expired 1 week ago but someone put a new lable on top of the old one that shows it will expire one week later. I call that cheat. Also, don't lose your wallet there, because their card system doesn't require your pin when you choose use debit card. Beside that, it is a great store to shop all asian food.
