It seems like there were several take out orders though while we were there. My stepmom and her family introduced me to Filipino food, so I've been eating it since I was a little girl. Not a lot of places to get pancit palabok around here, so I was happy to see they have it here. I was surprised we had to order a side of rice separately to go with the lechon kawali. The price of rice everything added up quickly, and I was a bit sticker shocked when the bill came. The food tasted really good for the most part, but we didn't even order drinks and our meals were almost $100 bucks for lumpia, pancit, lechon and a side of rice.

We ordered the pork sisig. This dish is a popular street food that is tangy, savory and mildly…read morespicy. It is made of grilled pork face and ears enveloped in a citrusy layer and sweet onions, topped with fried egg. This version is very close to the original recipe in the Philippines. Our next dish is Bulalo, a Filipino beef soup made from beef shanks and bone marrow, simmered until the meat is tender into a clear, savory broth. The serving is a good size, enough for my family! My only negative comment is the steamed rice is $6 for a single serving.!

They told us that their parents are Filipina and Chinese, resulting in the restaurants dual heritages. Their father is the chef and his food is amazing! We tried the vegan kare kare which definitely exceeded expectations. Super rich, almost like a curry, but without that specific spice. The sotanghon is their version of chow mein with jelly noodles, also really delicious. It usually comes with three types of protein, but we only tried it with shrimp. Still delicious! They also make their table chili oil in house and it is delicious. Not as spicy as most but very flavorful and added to every dish, makes everything super yummy. I also got to try their chicken lumpia. Standard, crispy, and savory. I would like to come back to try their chicken wings, I'm hearing that it is a best seller! They also sell lechon here, one of the only places in Sacramento where you can get a whole one!

This restaurant is a gem!…read more We've been passing by this restaurant for years and had been curious as they serve both Chinese and Filipino food. We were really more interested in the Filipino food, as there aren't many options in Sacramento. My husband says that the Filipino food has a Chinese influence here. It's definitely a more hole-in-the-wall place. We came at around lunch time and were warmly greeted by two ladies. A couple of other parties came in after us. We ordered 4 dishes to share, and they came out pretty fast! 1) Pinakbet - probably my favorite dish. It's a simpler dish with vegetables including eggplant, bitter melon, okra, tomato, kabocha, pork. I liked that the bitter Leon had a but of a wok char flavor. The eggplant had a bit of an oil taste but I'm aware that restaurants will fry the eggplant and then stir fry it into the fish to maintain the color...I actually liked that oil taste haha. 2) Kare Kare - it's a peanut butter stew with vegetables including eggplant, bokchoy, green beans, and oxtail. The oxtail is so tender. They also provide a shrimp paste and that adds some salt and pungent flavor. 3) Pancit palabok - as you'd expect with the addition of tofu. I wished they had more chicharron on there for texture 4) Bopis - diced pig ear with some jalapeños and peppers. This was seasoned so well and goes well when mixed with rice. We ordered rice to go along with the dishes. There was sooooo much food leftover. Great value! I am totally looking forward to the next time I get to go here!

If you like Ube stuff, this place has some. Located in a small plaza so there's ample parking. This visit I ordered the Chopsilog ($14) (marinated pork chop) served with garlic rice, eggs, cucumber and tomato. Also ordered 5pcs lumpia ($6) and 2 pcs turon (fried banana with lanka/jackfruit $1.50 each). The meal was pretty good and delicious!! Good service as well!

Placed our order for tapsilog ($15.99), tocilog ($13.99), and pork lumpia ($10.99). Took about 20 minutes for us to get our food. This has to be the WORST Filipino food I've ever had. (I've been here before and had much better experiences.) The tapsilog and tocilog were not at all like the pictures or what I've had before. The tapsilog we got were chunks of the cheapest cut of beef. Very tough and barely marinated. It felt as if oppose to telling us they were out of tapsilog, they decided to just cut up some beef and sell it to us. Absolutely disappointed! The tocilog was not any better. Tocilog is a sweet cured pork. There was not sweetness to it. Lacked flavor! The eggs in both silogs were overcooked! The only thing salvageable was the pork lumpia, 10 pieces for $10.99. I feel cheated as a customer and will not be returning. Food is overpriced and inedible!

The restaurant still looks the same and you can dine inside again. I'm glad they survived COVID. I recently called in an order so I wouldn't have to wait for my food when I got there. The server/girl who answered the phone was really nice and great. She got my order down quickly and efficiently. I ordered the combo plate with half fried chicken, longanisa, upgraded to garlic rice and got extra gravy. I also ordered a side of 6 piece pork lumpia as well. The food is as good as always. It is a lot of food so I got 2 meals out of it. It really hit the spot. My only complaint was the rice tasted old since the texture was like day old rice and really dry. There is plenty of parking in the plaza as well. I'll have to remember to come back here soon.

Lots of take away orders being picked up, but there are dining tables and chairs to eat in as well.

But for the same price, we can get so much more at places like Oriental Market and just as delicious to satisfy our craving for Filipino food. Parking was easy with plenty of spaces out front, service was great and friendly. Seating space? Extremely limited, especially if you have a party of 5 or more. Best to order for takeout food which brings me to my main point - if I have to order Filipino takeout because of extremely limited seating, I'd rather simply get a la carte elsewhere and pay a lot less or hit up Rocklin area where there are restaurants that serve fantastic boba drinks with fantastic Filipino dishes for much more affordable prices! Is the food incredible? Yes! Will it satisfy your craving for Filipino food? Absolutely! Would I return? No, I wouldn't, to be perfectly honest. Regardless, I feel it's worth a try if you haven't yet but just be mindful of the highs and lows. It's not all great, but it's not all bad. Mediocre and average, at the very least, given all factors. Do I have high expectations of Filipino restaurants? You bet I do!

The calamansi drink comes in a giant Capri Sun- looking container (complete with straw to poke it) and was sweet and refreshing. The plates were a huge portion...really 2 meals or shareable. Comes with garlic rice, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, cilantro, onions, atchara (pickled papaya), garlic peanut mix, sweet soy, calamansi aioli, chiptole aioli, jalapenos, and bahay chili oil. I forgot to customize it for my husband, who's a no creamy sauce and no spicy anything. But...he ended up eating every bit of the bowl because it was so good! I l really liked mine too with the pork, but I wish the pork was crispier. The lumpia was crispy and good and for $5 you get 2 long lumpias served with the sweet chili sauce.

Their calamansinade is one of my favorite drinks and often sells out quickly. I highly recommend the longanisa dumplings, bao tacos, and their signature bánh mì sandwich with bistek or tocino. The bread is made in-house, and you can taste the freshness. Orders can be placed through a self-ordering kiosk. You can expect a bit of a wait during busy times especially larger events, but it's well worth it. If they're in your area, be sure to check these ladies out, you won't be disappointed!

They offer different silogs, noodles, lumpia, bobas, and more. We got the pancit, pork lumpia, and halo halo. Food took a while to come out. But it was worth the wait. The pancit tasted just like the ones my aunties made. Loved that it came with a lemon wedge instead of a lemon juice packet. There was a good amount of meat where most places put way too many vegetables. The lumpia was crispy and filling was fresh. The halo-halo was spot on with all the best stuff in it. Service was a little chaotic. The staff were all in the back busy working so there wasn't anyone in the front if you needed anything. But someone did come out if you needed help. There was one auntie calling loudly for an uncle to come out from the back when someone needed help. Reminded me so much of home!
