AMBIANCE: Parking: There is a plaza inside that can probably fit about 7 cars. People generally walk or get dropped off here. Seating: All seating is shaded and outdoors. The tables and seats are wooden. It can probably house about 60 people. There's another spot but for the most part, it was reserved. If you're lucky, you can snatch a spot with a fan. Feels: This isn't exactly in the heart of Laoag which is pretty good since there's not much traffic. The space itself is pretty neat. I like the bamboo decor and Filipino art. There's also a nice sign that shares a brief hxstory about the restaurant. They have a bathroom that basically gets the job done and there are sinks if you need to wash your hands. The music is mixed with top 40 and Filipino music. A great place for groups and families. FOOD: Grilled Chicken (Recommend) Nomz! For a healthy bite, I say go with this. The portion is fairly reasonable and the chicken was not excessively seasoned. The chicken was well cooked and pretty juicy. I enjoyed the crisp of the skin and the subtle sweet marination of the chicken. For more flavor or good kick, they provide calamansi, pepper, and soy sauce. Buko Halo Halo (Recommend) Deeee-licious, especially the juice! The presentation was and IG worthy. I enjoyed the flakes and chocolate wafer, there was still some undissolved sugar which provided a good crunch. I am personally not fond of the jelly and beans but the milk itself was sweet and not too thick. I only wish they served it after we were halfway done eating, the ice cream wouldn't have melted as fast. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Pretty good. The servers were all young but helpful. They told us it would take 20 minutes but our orders were served quicker. TL; DR OVERALL: 4.5 Stars. A nice gem in the semi-outside area of Laoag. The price is fair, food is delicious, the feels were enjoyable. I definitely see this place as one of my go tos if I'm in the area. In addition, I recommend this place to tourists as well that wanted a taste of the Phillippines. TIPS: * Excellent place for an all-round menu * For ones that didn't get their travelling shots, this is a good space to eat.

What a difference a year makes…read more I was here a year ago and was happy to learn they've stayed consistent with their service as well as their food offerings. They've been like this since I began coming through 5 or so years ago which is why I keep coming back. Consistency is always key! So when I returned one year later, I expected the same. However, I was met with a bit of disappointment. Party of 8, we were seated immediately. I was surprised it isn't more crowded especially when it's supposed to be a lunch rush hour. Big Bro and I kinda had an idea what we wanted but we skimmed through the menu anyway - just in case. We were bummed they no longer have the tuyonesca, but we understand menus change a lot. But we were happy to learn they still have the ATM pizza! Added my usual squid ink pasta. Curious about the pesto marinara pasta as well as the fish and chips. (I know that sounds like a lot for two people, but we shared this with the rest of our party. And I just really wanted a taste.) The squid ink pasta was still on point! Check! PASTA BOLOGNESE: This is actually Hubbers' plate. No disappointment here. Has a slight kick which added to the dish's character. I liked it. FISH AND CHIPS: This would have been great if they didn't use old oil. That aroma was unmistakable and that kinda took away the dish's main essence. Batter was thin and crispy and the fish was soft and flaky. The seasoning was on point as well. If it didn't have that old oil smell, this would have been perfect. PESTO MARINARA PASTA: Okay, so Big Bro and I ordered this because how would they mix pesto AND marinara sauce at the same time? Welp... that's exactly what happened here. The marinara sauce was more a base, topped with pesto pasta. I liked it more than I thought I would. The pasta was cooked al dente and the bread was a good pairing. ATM PIZZA: The pièce de resistance, the one thing Big Bro and I were looking forward to. (Before I move on, I asked our server if we have the option of getting this thin crust - she said they don't offer it that way. No worries.) Anyway. Big Bro and I each got a slice and I immediately knew it was off before I even took a bite. First, the crust was so thick, it barely cooked through, so the toppings under all that cheese also barely cooked through. Second, the mushroom and tomato flavors and aroma were abundant. I gave it a few more little bites looking for the anchovy part of this pizza, and guess what: it's missing. It was disappointing enough to ask the server if she could ask the chef about it. She came back saying the anchovy has been mixed in the sauce. That was a challenge to believe as well because neither one of us got even the tiniest hint that there was anchovy in this pizza. VERDICT: I had to plow through my slice. Big Bro barely finished his. It really was a let down. FOOD: 3.5. Saving grace here is the squid ink pasta. SERVICE: 4.5. Out server was patient with us. Service with a smile is always a plus! VALUE: 3. Barely worth it, PARKING: Private lot. Street parking also available. OVERALL: 3.5. A slight demotion. I had recently bought anchovy flakes, so an idea came to mind: bring home the pizza, top it with anchovy flakes, warm it up using the air fryer and cross fingers. It ended up tasting much like the way we had it at Mrs. Bakers on our first run. At least the rest of the leftover pizza didn't go to waste. But I'm not counting them out just yet. So long as they're around, I'll keep coming back. I just hope the disappointment ends here...
