Despite the poor reviews on yelp I actually thought this place was decent. Though granted I've only been here once so I can't speak on the consistency.
The menu is extremely confusing. We were standing around for a long time trying to figure out how the various entree options corresponded to the food items we saw in front of us. I ended up getting a 2 entree with rice, with pork adobo and a chicken dish I don't know the name of, but I picked it because it had vegetables. I had to get normal rice because they were out of garlic rice, but it was only 6:30pm. The pork adobo was a little oily but it was still pretty good! I liked the chicken I got too, it was tomatoy in flavor.
My bf got the 1 entree with a skewer, with kare kare. Both were pretty good too but the skewer was a little sweet. We're not filipino food connoisseurs so everything tasted good to us! Nothing was dry either.
We also got the halo halo which was a little pricey at around $7-8. It had ube ice cream, a little eggroll, plaintains, flan, jelly, various beans, among other things. It was good overall and I would get it again.
After we ordered a line formed behind us, so if you don't want to wait I'd suggest coming before 6pm!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Apr 28, 2023
Only order their breakfast, fried, and grilled items. I'd skip their side dishes bcuz they are unsatisfactory.
I usually order the bbq pork or chicken skewers, tosilog (tocino [marinated pork] with eggs and fried rice), grilled tilapia, and grilled liempo (pork belly).
Longsilog ($7.99): longanisa, eggs, garlic rice. It was ok, as the quality and flavors are standard. It is probably comparable to basic home cooking. A plus is that they give you plenty of garlic rice. 7/10.
Service is average. Don't expect an above average experience here, but the food does get the job done when you want a quick bite.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Joe M.San Diego, CA3084213Nov 11, 2023
Food is good and tasty. Freshly grilled and cooked, BUT the biggest let down was the dirty dining area. Customer had to clean and wipe tables. Filthy towels indicate long term neglect. When cashier was asked about the cleanliness and maintenance of the dining facility, she said that a "utility man" comes in on occasion to clean.
PASSING GRADE on the food.
FAIL on appearance and cleanliness of the dining facility.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Thomas S.Richmond, TX4513914156Dec 10, 2023
The dining area was nasty. No one had cleaned the area since opening for the day by the look of it. Foods on the floor, liquid on the old tables, and stickiness on the old chairs. We ordered grilled fish, bitter melon, veggie cooked in coconut milk, BBQ pork, a liver dish, and a pork dish. The foods tasted ok. But we had better and cheaper. Anyway, the dirty dining area took away the enjoyment. We should have gotten the food to go, but we were hungry. We have no plan to return.

Quality to quantity is the question. The variety of entrees immense. The presentation can be a lot better and the taste after a while almost all tastes the same. The price is a bit much for a small amount.
It's inside Seafood City an Asian market. The area is clean and the staff is friendly.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mengyun Z.San Diego, CA1588548Jan 25, 2023
We went to this place for the chicken skewer and it is very delicious! This place is recommended to us by a Pilipino friend and he recommend the chicken BBQ!
We tried the double classic combo as well because we arrived at lunch time and we both are hungry, but the combo taste is just fine.
We tried both chicken BBQ and pork BBQ and we both love chicken BBQ better! They fresh grill them everyday and you can watch them do that, looks very authentic and delicious!
I would rate Chicken BBQ 5/5 stars, pork BBQ 4/5 stars and the combo just 3/5 stars. So in total I rate it 4 stars. Chicken BBQ is the best I've ever had!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1 - Grace C.San Diego, CA0137Jan 11, 2024

Recently found out about this place from my friends. The PORK ADOBO is to die for. Trust me!!! Both times the pork has been so tender and the flavor is just so good. Good price and good portion too!
I've also tried the chicken adobo but the chicken was significantly more dry than the pork. The bangus was tasty but not very meaty here, and was filled with a pico sort of mixture (onion, tomato, jalapeno, etc). It was tasty tho!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Hi Jennifer, thank you so much for your review, we are so happy you loved our Adobo. We will work on making our chicken adobo and bangus better so you may enjoy it more on your next order. Thank you!

Food readiness could be better. Serves only breakfast in the morning and I had thought regular items would be available like other places. Lechon when available is incredible everything else is okay, not they way you do it at home. Longaniza is typically undercooked (4x) I recommend zapping in micro for 40 seconds to make sure it's cooked through. If eating in house, I wouldn't order. Pork adobo was lacking in flavor and the bbq didn't look great.
