    It's Filipino. It's local. We're starving. I know the Philippines and their cuisine. Grew up on it. To begin with the room is pretty cool for an informal dining stop. From the exposed brick wall to the subtle references to their homeland, it's a comfortable setting that you don't mind spending extra time enjoying. The wait staff are wonderful and the service was unbeatable. My SIL from Manila joined us and after they had a nice conversation (in Tagalog), they jammed a ton of what they had made onto a couple of platters and charged us next to nothing. I think they liked her. We tipped the daylights out of them. They responded with Mango Cake to take home, since we were stuffed. Everything is delicious. Best Pancit I've had in years. Beef was great. The lumpia actually made the way I like it. I'm going to go ahead and label this authentic. Pro Tip: If you have no prior experience with Filipino food, tell them so. Let them guide you based on your preferences until you become astute enough to know what to order. 04/25

    I tried this place for the very first time today. I saw the wonderful review on Instagram a few months ago I decided to stop by. The places medium-sized and very clean. The owner as a fantastic spirit and he's very pleasant to talk with. The food is absolutely excellent. I won't describe everything, but I'll include pictures. The things I want to call out are the adobo, the bbq pork skewers and the beef stew. The rice dessert was excellent as well. If you're in the market for really good Filipino food, please do yourself a favor, visit this establishment & you will be blessed. Make sure you support them!

    "Five Star" food without hesitation. If you've never tried Filipino food or are a native looking for food made with love like back home, this place is amazing. Kindest owner and chef I've met in a long, long time. Cool eatery, reasonable prices, and decor that makes the experience one worth repeating! Give it a try - you will not be disappointed!

    This is a fairly new place, so we thought we'd check it out. Upon walking in, I knew I'd like it. They have a mini store, a turo-turo restaurant, and some desserts to go. The ambience is fantastic, and the space is Instagram-friendly. The owners are super friendly, and the service is fantastic. They even surprised my mom with an ube dessert for her birthday. That made our lunch very special.

    5/5, give this place a try. You won't regret it. From the service to the food, this is THE Filipino place in the Michigan/Troy area. I was unimpressed by the display walking in. It was 6 buffet-like containers of food that looked dry when I arrived 30 minutes before closing. I had a number of items I wanted to try, including bbq pork, Shanghai lumpia, and beef salpicao. However, I was told they don't have a fixed menu, and currently, they are just cooking items per the owners discretion, and one must call ahead to know the items ahead of time. THE MENU POSTED ON YELP IS NOT UP TO DATE AND DOES NOT REPRESENT THEIR CURRENT MODE OF SERVICE. I decided to give these 3 dishes a try. I was SO pleasantly surprised. The beef and mushroom was not too heavy. Savory Filipino sauce. No wonder this was their third batch that day. The pork hocks was delicious. Fatty. Not overly salty. Melts in your mouth. The definition of homey-filipino soul food. Pancit-staple Filipino noodle dish perfectly fried and again not too heavy- paired perfectly with other two dishes. The service was superb. The owner, Vangie, is super nice and humble. She is the like the motherly/grandmotherly figure you imagine cooking soul-warming food that reminds you of home. Great person. Great food. Price very reasonable. 7.5$ for pint. Little more for quart. Just be sure to call ahead to see what they have (again, menu posted as of now is not up-to-date).

    10/10 everything! Food is amazing. Literally everything tastes good. You can't go wrong. Lumpia is freshly made. You can order one dozen at a time ($0.60 each). Sausage is sweet and savory, tastes very similar to Taiwanese sausages. 2 entree items are very unique but both tasted great! Would definitely return to try other items. Also service is amazing. People are super friendly there! Highly recommend this place. So happy to have a traditional Philippine cuisine place around.

The spicy chili garlic seasoning added the perfect amount of spice. And they even bring out extra spice to the table, if you need more! The fresh house-made noodles were cooked perfectly. I added chicken to my bowl instead of the pork. It was tender and so flavorful. The toppings -- marinated egg, green onions, bamboo shoots, kikurage mushrooms, and sesame seeds -- all came together really well. I added soybeans to my bowl. Definitely one of the best ramen bowls I've had in Michigan. I'll be back for sure. Service was quick. And even at 4pm, the place was already packed. My belly was so happy after this meal!

Not really much of an ambiance - it's a very casual place with pretty basic decor. Everyone working there was friendly and our food was brought out to us in a reasonable amount of time. I got the classic tonkotsu ramen and it was really good! The broth was flavorful and complex, the pork was tender, and the egg perfectly jammy. Apparently they make their noodles fresh everyday. The price of a ramen bowl was on par with what I'm used to (~$20 with tax + tip) but the sushi seemed a little pricey. I will have to come back to try it.

The noodles were thick and toothy with a savory and especially tasty sauce. The combination of shrimp and scallops was buttery. The vegetables had a natural earthiness. I also loved the green onion pie (a.k.a., scallion pancake). The dough had the ideal weightiness to complement the gentle green onion flavor. I will definitely return.

And whoever mops the floors must have an irrational childhood fear of cleaning corners. Although the floors themselves are clean, each corner has a disgusting black buildup of filth. Likewise, the sinks in the bathroom. They have not been cleaned well in a very long time. Food: the beef roll pie is delicious. The marinated beef is OK but should be served cold, not room temperature. The steamed dumplings were OK too. However, the noodle dishes were oily, bland, flavorless, and just seasoned with a sweet brown sauce. Further, there is almost no meat to be found in the noodle dishes. What I had looked to be scraps. I paid three dollars extra to have the wide hand cut noodle. It was basically served raw to me. Service: this place has no concept of service. Food comes out haphazardly. First I got my entrée, then my daughter got her entree, then we got two appetizers. Sometime later, my son got his entrée, and the steamed dumplings came. Never once was an empty dish taken away, and never once was a water glass refilled. Service here is absolutely awful. Other than the beef roll pie, there isn't a single redeeming quality about this place. The food is awful, the service is terrible, all surfaces are sticky and dirty. Avoid this place at all cost.

Total plot twist. The place was pretty quiet with only a few diners, so service was steady, though a little slow at times. We ordered the veggie noodles, cucumber salad, lamb skewers, xianbing pancake, and juicy pork dumplings. Overall, the food was decent and comfortably average, but honestly, we were just excited to finally find a Szechuan-style Chinese restaurant nearby. The veggie noodles were the clear winner of the night: chewy, flavorful, and coated in a sauce that had us going back for bite after bite. I could've done without the bok choy, though, and I wish the noodles had been a little less oily. The cucumber salad leaned much sweeter than we expected and was swimming in a bit too much soy sauce for our taste. The pork dumplings were nice and juicy inside, but the wrappers were slightly too doughy. Now the lamb skewers? Absolutely delicious. Great flavor, good portion size, and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The biggest disappointment, unfortunately, was the xianbing pancake. It didn't feel authentic at all. The crepe was way too thick, and the crispy crackers inside had lost all crunch and turned soggy instead. Still, the cozy vibe, solid noodles, and tasty skewers made it a worthwhile visit, especially if you're craving Szechuan flavors around Madison Heights.

I guess it allows the customer to have some fun and enjoy throwing different topping items into the hot broth. You can decide which items to add/omit based upon your preferences. Note, you don't have to add all the items. Our favorite broth was the Hot & Sour. The pepper salt fish fillet was good and we also enjoyed the cucumber in sauce (cucumber salad). Worth trying at least once. Next time I'm back, I'll try more items on their snack menu side and rice.

I would highly recommend Ten Seconds Rice Noodles and look forward to going back.

I'd come back for the food, but mostly knowing what to expect next time helps.
