Business Description from the Web
Before you go upstairs to find the informal but comfortable dining area breathe in the smell of the grill just inside the entrance.

Along with grilled meats and fish, the menu has a fairly complete selection of Filipino favorites.

Tips About This Business
Stop in often to sample an array of daily specials, like Mondays sinigang na baboy, a sour pork and tamarind soup.

Pros

For authentic Philippino pork bbq sticks come here. Just thinking about it gets me hungry. They also have a wide variety of other dishes that are equally delicious (sizzling steak in special sauce, lumpiang shanghai, halo-halo,...) So many choices...although you will come to have favorites like I do. The waitstaff and patrons were all welcoming and treat you like family. The prices are...
