We went on a weekday, so it wasn't too busy, which made it even more enjoyable. Service was great too! Even though there was only one person handling everything, they were friendly and attentive. They also have some Filipino treats you can grab to go, which is a fun bonus. Overall, a really nice experience and I'd definitely come back again to try more dishes!

Inside you'll find a small but organized store with familiar Filpino products and in the back, the standard "turo turo" - basically a steam table with a bunch of different dishes. You can choose from different combos with a main entree, rice or the very tasty pancit noodles. For $11, I got a generous serving of lechon (fried pork belly), one chicken barbecue skewer, pancit and rice. I couldn't even finish it all, so saved some for another meal. Staff is very friendly and will explain everything to you if you are not familiar with Filipino food. Yes, they have lumpia!

The waiter was really friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We got the starter platter which came with 3 lumpia, 2 wings, and the Caesar salad. I thought the lumpia wasn't filled much and tasted like mostly air. I liked the sauce. The wings were hot and fresh, skin was crispy. It came with salsa verde. The house Caesar salad was too salty for my liking. We also ordered the sisig with a side of garlic rice (+ $1 for the garlic) which was also very salty, oily, and crispy. The white sauce (bonito aioli) helped with the saltiness. I got the shrimp dish which honestly just tasted like it was in a Thai coconut curry sauce. Very yummy and creamy. Both the jasmine and garlic rice were cold, dry, and crunchy. I was hoping for a steaming and soft rice bowl. It was difficult to eat. Finished the meal with Ube sundae, pandan basque cheesecake, and mango water ice. The sundae was the star of the evening for me! They make the ice cream in house and it tasted creamy, slightly sweet and delicious. The Ube flavor came through and it was topped with puffed rice. I liked the turon which was hot and freshly fried too. The water ice was surprisingly great. It was my first time trying anything "water ice" and I was expecting a snow cone of ice toooed with mango syrup. This was more like a sorbet! Really fruity, bright, and smooth. The basque cheesecake was disappointingly cold. I wish they had heated it up even briefly. I could barely see or even taste the pandan flavor. Service felt slow since we eat fast and the tables filled up quick. We got there for our 6:30pm reservations and were seated in the corner by the open window. Honestly at the end of our meal, it felt like we were being rushed out.

Upstairs is a food court with a Paris Baguette and several Korean "fast food" options. Nice big dining area with plenty of seating and chairs, especially if people are willing to share.

There is also a separate HMart section for housewares, makeup and stationery with all the latest KPop type trends. Head downstairs, the groceries are in a very similar layout, now bigger. Aisles are still a little tight, but everything looks newer and refreshed. HMart is known for its butcher and seafood, and as always, everything looked fresh and a decent selection. If you hit the store at the right time, you might find a few discounted items to get them out the door before they need to be taken off the shelf.

WHAAAAT. Anyway, all that means is that you probably have to ask the staff questions they've already answered 489 times that day because... nothing is labeled. The good news is that food is actually really good and priced very reasonably. The best item on the menu is what is being roasted on the grill outside - what I call thingies on a stick, chicken and pork bbq that is at once savory and sweet. GO GET YOU SOME.

The food was okay. I called them first to make sure they're…read moreopen and asked if they do cook to order or it's ready to serve (food) they have. The lady I spoke with on the phone said it's a buffet - eat all you can. And then she said they do combo, so I was a little confused but decided to just go there and find out myself. We drove an hour from Atlantic city and I was visiting from California. We stepped inside and found out that they don't have a buffet style but it's ala carte and combo food to go and you can also dine in coz there's table and seats also. My friend and I were in line next to the people ordering their food. When it was our turn, this older lady (server) was helping my friend with her order first, but the lady already got sinigang with rice and asking what else did my friend want. (Both of us were ordering 2 entrees) We were wondering why would she serve sinigang when we didn't order it. So we told the server we didn't order the sinigang. The lady then started acting weird and mean - telling the young lady (also a server) that she heard sinigang. She didn't get back to us abt what we want and didn't even apologize or anything. She just ignored us leaving us hanging and just helping someone else instead. The young lady ended up getting our order instead and she was nice. I was so upset how this older server (maybe she's the owner) made us feel! You have to treat your customers right when you're in business. I was visiting in NJ and drove far to try this Filipino food and she made us very uncomfortable. She's not friendly and very unprofessional and seems like a typical toxic "tita"! I'm sorry but I don't recommend this place. I can cook better. All the foods were served cold because they're just hanging there (display) for the people to buy them. Right after eating, my tummy was hurting a little. 20min later, I had an upset stomach and badly needed the restroom when we got to Costco!

AS OF 11JUN2022…read more Food: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 I stop by here everytime on my way to the beach because I can't get Filipino food where I live. They've got your pre-prepped hot food where you can get a combo box, small (can't remember price), medium for $9, or large container for $17. I had the pork adobo, pancit, a beef tomato carrot dish stew, a slightly spicy, lemon, vinegar pork dish and a shrimp, jackfruit and coconut milk dish. All were pretty good - except the jackfruit / shrimp dish which probably something I wasnt as used to. The jackfruit had the texture of cooked down bamboo (no crunch) and was good, but the flavor was a bit bland for me. The two pork dishes were on point though. I haven't had too many Filipino dishes, so I was a little intimidated going in but the staff is super nice and patient ! I'll be back to try other things.
