The prices are refreshingly fair, the food comes out fresh every single time, and the vegetarian options? Chef's kiss. I blanked on the name of my dish but my taste buds definitely remember it. My husband, a man of few words when it comes to food compliments, was also thoroughly impressed with his meal. If you're on the fence, consider this your sign. We'll be back. Probably soon.

Curiosity satisfied…read more. We dropped by without reservation for Saturday dinner, they had seating at the bar area or the high tops. We chose the latter. The place is not big and they usually have large parties coming in, thus fills the space quickly. We started with Tofu chicharron which we were expecting to be crispy - because chicharron means 'crackling pork rinds' but these Tofu were soft a lil disappointed there. We tried the pork sisig, it was okay. It has this mayo topping and there's an overpowering taste of ginger which is not typical of sisig. We enjoyed the grilled pork belly though, marinated enough and it's complimented with soy vinegar dip. The pancit on the other hand was very greasy. The oil was pooling at the bottom of the bowl. Taste was was just okay. It has way too many chinese sausage in it. We completed our meal with Ube Carioca, it is this chewy rice cake that is deep fried with glazed sweetness & that was okay as well. We wanted the mango sago, however they were out. The service was prompt and adequate parking space.

"I wish I could give this place 2.5 stars" guy can't even figure out a plastic fork, so take that for what it's worth. Pro Tips: Eat the turon fresh out of the fryer and buy more pork belly than you think you're gonna eat. Dip pork belly into sukà. Repeat.

Added 2 pork lumpias to make the entire meal a 5/5! The pork belly was packed with flavour and perfectly grilled/ cooked. The roasted corn was sweet and mixed with tomatoes and parsley. The slaw added a great crunch to the meal. Lumpias were fried nice and golden brown with a sweet chili dipping sauce on the side. Overall I loved eating this, especially when you get a little bit of each item as one bite - delicious! Also got a drink of zero sugar 7up and was pleasantly surprised at how good it tasted. Love that they offered a zero sugar soda option. Would probably get this again even with the abundance of other food options in this food hall, as the flavours were so jam packed!

It is also nice that they offer a couple of vegetarian options, including crispy tofu, veggie skewers, and a crispy mushroom bowl. We opted to try the crispy BBQ tofu skewers. The texture was very good, and the sauce had a nice flavor. Very nice presentation; the skewers came accompanied by some shredded veggies. Service was friendly. They use a text message system to notify when food is ready. Seating is available around the food hall, and there is a serve your own water station by the bar. There's a small parking lot adjacent to the building, plus street parking nearby.

Apparently, the original Asian couple no longer owns this and new owners took over fairly recently. Things are still being organized as they say, a lot of products don't have prices or they are in different places so it's kind of a surprise bill when you go to the register. I'd say it's a little bit on the expensive side for example compared to Saraga International. But for a quick thing or two this store can be handy. It also connected to the Asian eatery. No fresh produce here, a lot of canned goods, snacks and frozen items.

Lovely place to hang around with rotational food truck and super nice patio. The small bites option is what I usually order.

The grilled shrimp is tender and the veggies [mushroom, eggplant, carrots and bok choy] infused perfectly with the curry. With this curry, I can have more than a bowl of rice. If you are a Ube lover, highly recommend trying their Ube Crinkle Cookie. Slightly crisp outside and super gooey inside. Prefect with a cup of coffee/tea.

I'd…read moreheard great things about it, and as a lover of fried chicken, I was pretty excited to try it out. Thus far, I've tried the dark meat chicken, the sliders, the mac n cheese, and the smashed potatoes. All in all, I'm pretty pleased with the offerings. The crispiness of the skin is something to be marveled at and greatly appreciated. It's also pretty well seasoned (though I do wish that they were able to get the seasoning to penetrate under the skin a bit more thoroughly). I always appreciate a good biscuit, and the biscuits at Mya's are definitely some of my favorites. They compliment everything quite nicely. I can't speak to the honey vinegar drizzle personally, but my husband enjoyed having that on his sliders quite a bit as well. I will mention that there can be a bit of a wait here if it's busy, so you might want to dress warmly right now, since it's December. But I do think it's worth the wait.
