Portions were good for 2-3 people and price is reasonable for the quantity and quality. One of the best garlic rice I've had. Deliciously seasoned pasta; and great bulalou. I wasn't a fan of the ube cake. It tasted like artificially flavoured ube cake. My only constructive feedback would be for the waiters to dress well and present themselves with more enthusiasm. The service is very slow but despite that, they are very friendly and helpful.

Have you ever been curious about the filipino food hype?…read more Well this restaurant kind of made all the sense. Everything was absolute perfection. So crispy and fresh! I obviously had to go for some popular items and not call it a meal without trying their egg rolls too. Service was pretty amazing too. Restaurant is relatively small and i'm unsure how busy it does get but there was only 1 other group of people eating while my family and i was there. Food came in a speedy manner. Food portions are also generously pretty big. Parking around that area is all street, lots of residents only parking zones too so be prepared. They take all forms of payments.

They even make their own sauces that are bottled and you can bring home. They seemed to be set up for take out and catering. But they do have seating for about 20-25 people. We ordered: BBQ Pork Combo meal $10.50 Chicken Inasal Combo meal $10.50 both with Garlic - Annatto Rice +$.75 each and we added pork spring rolls $4 The combo meals are tasty and filling. With a slight char on the BBQ pork which is what I enjoy when having skewers. Honestly the garlic- annato rice wasn't really worth it. I personally couldn't taste it over the sauce on either the BBQ pork or the chicken Inasal. And would have been happy with just regular rice. The lumpiang was meaty and everything I look for in a crispy spring roll. The dessert options area also great. Not sure if its seasonal but they had a slice of coconut (buko) pie in their fridge. Whole buko pie need to be per-ordered and picked up on the weekend. They also have leche flan and ube cheesecake for a sweet treat. Over all a great comforting small business with friendly staff and a meal under $12. How can you go wrong? Give Hapag Ihaw-Ihaw a try if you're in the area.

I asked them what is the signature item and they quickly referred me to the halo halo and the tofu pudding dessert. Since I had just grabbed a latte somewhere else, I opted for the tofu pudding. I went for the small but I won't call it that...although their large then is indeed...well, large. It comes with a syrup much like the brown sugar you find in bubble tea. But they gave me pearls. It's not overly sweet at all and blends well with the rich flavour from the pudding itself. I'm not sure about other reviews that says otherwise. It clearly had a smooth tofu taste and it's confirmed by my friends who ate with me. Some say it's firmer than Cantonese pudding but it's a nice texture. Nothing to complain about. I think my serving at room temperatures was just right on this cool autumn day, especially when the pearls were still slightly warm. But I can see how this will be a refreshing summer dessert served chilled. Thank you to the whole family that made my day.

New Filipino gig in lower mainland, small place approximately houses 15 heads the whole eatery…read more Mostly Filipino customers lining up. I went here with a friend to try, well not bad actually, the carrying product is Lechong Cebu,a rosted pork. There are only few dishes in the menu,the server claimed they are coming soon. they also do catering service thats what the waitor told us. we wish to have a bulalo its a beef soup but sold out that day, so since we were already here and our cravings for this day is Filipino cuisine we ordered other availble dishes. First one is the pork sisig, it was good,we both dont eat liver so we asked the server to exclude it.oh how i missed home(Philippines) on first bite of the sisig,it was delish,the flavor of the spices,the lemon and the egg while it was smoking hot on a sizzling plate,very good. we ordered appetizer includes 2 Pork bbq, 2 feep fried spring rolls(lumpiang shanghai),and 3 pcs of chicken wings well i would say they were ordinary taste,we also got the beef caldereta,hmmmmm....another ordinary taste.plus we had the garlic rice and hot water with lemon. I am not sure if the dishes were pre-cooked. We havent try the carrying dish which is the lechon Cebu,for sure if we will come back thats the one we will going to order. Very small place,crews are bi-lingual and very friendly,you know friendliness is one of the best trait of Filipinos. They also sell some chicken skin chicharon and ube pandesal. Pricing is just okay,you pay for what you wil get. Theres no TV, but theres music playing while we were there.Wash room is available.(Needs a lot of make over and improvement with the interior design.) If am not mistaken this place is a bubble tea gig before,As per friends news it was sold. Wifi now is all over the city so i dont think that would be an issue. Parking is metered one unless you wish to park in some residential area and you will just do some waking...sometimes serious walking because it can be far. Most clients that day came for pick up orders..a lot of them so i feel that this place has a huge potential to bloom. Noise level is average and nothing i can say on the interior design because theres nothing at all, like i said it"s pretty new place. Good for small group and kids friendly. Im wishing the owner the best of luck...i hope they should incorporate more Filipino dishes in their menu. Accept credit and debit card and cash as well

Philippines is a vast country with over 100,000 islands and this place gives me a feel of the province. The service was really good and the ambiance is nice. Though I would have life to see a few more things even like plants are photos in the main dining hall. Something to be aware of and it is a common problem for most places in Vancouver. Parking can be a real challenge so read the signs very carefully.

The third star is for the service as the servers come through and clear plates quickly and offer hot drinks when they notice you're towards the end of the meal, so they were great. But food... Considering it's $50 for an adult, you'd be better off going to a regular restaurant and ordering what you really want for a better meal. Most of the food was luke warm and the carving station was almost cold unless you catch a fresh one coming out. The sushi was probably the best items here and some of the salad bar. But how do you mess up fried rice? The rice and noodles were almost inedible and my kids couldn't eat the soft serve ice cream! And they'll eat almost anything sweet.
