Asian grocery & Filipino-Chinese eatery. Asian grocery store with a rustic Filipino-Chinese eatery serving homestyle fare at simple tables.
The dishes we tried were full of authentic flavors. Highly recommend for when you're craving Filipino food but not in a cooking mood. Mel & staff always provide a warm welcome with incredibly attentive & quick service. The place has fun decor and an outdoor playground for the kiddos. Also love picking up items from the store after our meal.
Good ambience, good food, which reminded us of home, and service was great, too. Decoration inside the restaurant is on point. Kinda made me miss the Philippines. It's also amazing that they have kids' play area in front, although our kiddos didn't really play when we visited. They also have a good selection of Pinoy groceries. Parking was also spacious. We'll definitely go back!
Absolutely delicious! We got the lunch specials and they did not disappoint on flavor or portion. Pork adobo was simply the best! The service was wonderful and I loved the little market as well
Ambiance is awesome. Staff is super nice. And the food is AMAZING. I love this place! Also the small store is awesome. The pint of baby milk tea ice cream is delicious. Deff need to try it if you haven't!
Sari-sari made me feel at home, with Dahlia treating us like family rather than some customer. The food was amazing and authentic with a market perfect for any home-sick native Filipino. 5 stars by far for the amazing hospitality and showing Texas what the Philippines is about.
Absolutely delicious ?? Can't really speak to the authenticity but this takes me back to my teenage years in Hawaii when friends parents/grandparents would cook awesome meals after school. The white jasmine rice pairs amazingly with everything, the meats are sauuuccyyy and the lumpia is ? I'm already planning my next visit! I had the chicken adobo while my wife had the pork belly sig-sig. We both seriously enjoyed our plates. The dishes are huge so we had extra to take home. You could probably get away with 1 meat and 2 rice bowls to share a meal. There's so much meat! The waitress talked us into the Halo Halo Royale, which is like a Filipino raspa/snowcone. It was pretty good. Very sugary but a solid experience. Glad I tried it and would order again when I'm in the mood for candy sugar, ice cream, rice krispies all together. All in all, this restaurant quickly made my Top 25 list. So happy to have been introduced and can't wait to visit again!
We finally made it to this side of town and got to try this place out! Definitely worth the drive ? When you first walk in, it's the store portion of the business. Lots of Filipino favorite treats and ingredients. They even had some fresh veggies and fresh pandesal, which is so nice to know. Now, for my favorite! The FOOD! We greeted and seated immediately, and given drinks and a menu promptly. The menu is simple and sweet, but don't let that fool you, these dishes pack some amazing flavors! They have filipino breakfast served all day and I believe those were only $10 a plate, and they were great sized portions! I was happily surprised! Then they have other amazing entree dishes to choose from. So my husband and I both ordered the beef Tapa breakfast dish, and one Sisig dish! My husband is from Bicol region of the Philippines and this is one of the dishes they have, and after living there with him for over a year, I've come to love and crave these dishes. So to find these comfort dishes just made our day! There is slight difference to the dishes compared to the traditional way, but let me tell you, it still hit the spot and the cravings. I'm trying to convince my husband to take me back as soon as possible! Dessert! Now if you've ever had Filipino Leche flan you know what I'm talking about! So since we've moved to Texas I've been craving it. I've tried the ones they have in the stores and they don't come close! The flavors and textures aren't the same. BUT, here, they NAILED IT! I felt like I was back in the Philippines eating Leche flan from Red Platter or Max's! And the size of it is well worth the $8! It could probably be shared with the whole family, but when you have been craving it for far too long, you will want it all to yourself lol! ? Aside from the yummy food, the service was great! Friendly, and attentive! We also enjoyed talking to Mel! She was so sweet and brought that friendly Filipina charm and kindness! Can't wait to go back! OBVIOUSLY! Highly reccomend this resturant! If I could give more stars, I would! ?
This place is amazing! The store is great, but the food is out of this world. I ordered several things from the menu including the Daing and Lechon and they were fantastic! You can always tell when the chef is passionate about what they do and I tasted it in my meal. I honestly wish my stomach could handle more food. The wait staff was very fast and polite! I never had my drink stay empty. Seriously, give this place a try, I know I'm glad I did.
