    We ordered almost everything on the menu. The food was delicious, and the owner was wonderful--my husband and I enjoyed chatting with her. The lumpia was the chef's kiss, full of love.

    We stopped by looking to eat some bbq at Bloodworths, but they weren't open yet. We was hungry and didn't want to go much further. Luckily for us, Paburns kitchen was right next door. It's a little on the high side at $15 a plate. I felt that's kind of high for a low overhead food truck. Especially since they skimp on the chicken. As another stated, there was only a few pieces. Nevertheless, it was pretty good. I had the Combo A which was chicken and noodles with cabbage and a rice cake. Also included was lumpia, which was like a fried egg roll filled with chicken. To me it's a mini Philippino flauta. My wife had the pork adobo plate. She liked her plate as well. There's only a couple of tables to sit at outside.

We drove from San Antonio to try this place and had it been 3+ hours away we would still make the drive.

Walking into the…read morerestaurant, you'll notice that it is one of the cleanest Filipino restaurants that you've ever been in. As we walked in, we were immediately greeted with a friendly voice from the front desk. They asked how many people were in our party, then seated us right away. They noticed that the table where we sat was a little wobbly, so they fixed it right away. We ordered a glass of red wine, a hot and sour soup, sesame chicken, beef kate-kare, a diet coke, leche flan and halo-halo. I was a bit hesitant about ordering the wine. I asked for a sample, and found out that it was decent, so I ordered a full glass. My partner, Stuart, loved the hot and sour soup. He said that it was better than Qi's hot and sour soup. He really enjoyed the sesame chicken with the broccoli being a little crispy. As for my beef kare-kare, it was a new experience for me. I've only had this dish with oxtail. It is served with a lovely side of bagaoon for a burst of flavor. The leche flan was too eggy for my friend, but a nice reminder of home for me. I love when halo-halo has bits of flan on it. Today, it did, so extra flan always makes my day. Altogether, the food, cleanliness and attentive service give this restaurant 5 stars!

As a filipino, I love sweet longanisa but I prefer the sausage wrapped ones because I like a bit of char on it. I didn't love their pancit, but loved their garlic rice. We also tried their kwek kwek (fried quail eggs) and it was tasty and love that it came with suka (vinegar sauce). I asked for a sweet chili sauce as well. There's a few streetfood items here that's hard to get elsewhere in San Antonio, like bulaklak. I was tempted to try even though it's pretty unhealthy. They're crispy, fried pork tissue fat and usually have a nice chewy texture. My favorite thing that we ordered was the pork sisig. It came out on a sizzling plate. I just wish it had more mayo and garnishes on it. Mostly just pork flavor. Our waiter was nice and the freshly made juice was amazing. We got a huge glass of fresh watermelon juice and calamansi lemonade. The restaurant itself seems like a venue for parties too, since they have a small karaoke stage. They also connect to a small grocery store with several Filipino staples. I was able to pick up Datu Puti vinegar and some Boy Bawang cornick! I'd come back if I was closer in the area or if i'm really craving a Filipino dish that I can't already make at home.

When you enter you're immediately in the market full of Asian items. The staff is friendly and welcoming. As you walk to the rear of the market you reach the restaurant.

Combos are served with Pancit, steamed rice, and lumpia. I ordered the kare-kare which was super tender and flavorful. I appreciate that the peanut flavor was not overpowering. Pricing is reasonable.

The only thing that's a little confusing is the menu. It seems they had set plates to order from and unless you've been there or speak Filipino you might not know what is allowed or how you can mix items. The place gets busy and if you're not familiar with the way the menu works asking questions can feel bothersome and you'll feel rushed. The prices are somewhat decent but it can get expensive. The food though is delicious and seating can be limited but it's definitely worth coming out here and trying the food. The place itself is a market but they section off the area you eat so if you're looking for ambiance this ain't the place. If you're looking for good Filipino food then definitely try it out.

I somehow found this place on my IG feed and added it to my list of places to try and since I knew this was a cloud kitchen I was glad they were also available on the delivery apps so decided on this place for lunch. You can also order directly and pick it up as well to save on service fees and delivery costs. I grew up eating Filipino food and so to me this is comfort. The pancit (noodle) was tasty and had enough sweet to cut the soy. It's a combination of meats and a good pancit is always how the vegetables are cut and definitely how the cabbage is hand torn. It's also how the sauce is braised and integrated into the noodles. This definitely is more braised and so you would typically squeeze wedges of lemon to cut the flavor; iykyk that Filipinos tend to like sour and vinegar so adding lemon as an accoutrement is a must. The pancit bihon also comes with 4pcs of lumpia shanghai. The filling was delish probably one of the better lumpia's available in the Austin area (there aren't many options) but this one goes to the top though they could probably be more crispy and tightly rolled but I think I like they didn't roll them so perfect to make it more home style. I am also a fan of the little Mac salad that came with my dish. If you're familiar with the Hawaiian style it's almost the same but the Filipino one adds chicken and is slightly sweeter pineapple and sweet relish. They also have Filipino bbq, bangus (milkfish), your -log style dishes which are savory sometimes sweet proteins over rice and a fried egg. Weekends appear to have some special items. They even have kare kare (a traditional peanut curry with vegetables and oxtail) and a clear beef soup with soup bones and cabbage. Can't wait to try more of their menu. If you're missing Filipino food and you're in north central Austin this is really one of two places and if you haven't tried home style Filipino food this is a good day to try.
