  SERVINGS ARE HUGE!
  
  Worth the time and money if you're looking for authentic Filipino kamayan food.  We got the six person kamayan but we really could have realistically done a 4. We ended up being home two cartons of food.  
  
  The restaurant is laid back in decor and ambiance. Not a place I would come to be fancy.  Good experience for  everyone.
  
  Will visit again.

  Didn't want to have to write this review, but it's long overdue: Josie (owner) is a very rude, unprofessional, and ghetto ass person. I ordered pork sisig and Shanghai lumpia to eat there, but ordered Miki bihon pancit to go. I later changed my mind, because I decided I didn't want to carry a container food with me while I ran more errands.
  
  So, I asked the young waitress to see if it was too late to cancel that order to go. It turned out it wasn't, but obviously Josie wasn't too happy and started talking shit right behind where I was sitting. I think she also got butt hurt when I gave away the lumpias (tasted like oil and nothing else--no flavor) to the lady sitting next to me. I'd explained to the lady that I didn't like them, but didn't want to throw them away. The rest were untouched.
  
  The sisig didn't taste all that good too (meat was tough and bland), but the vinegar I asked helped along with the mong tomasz sauce.   The young waitress was really professional and I made sure to leave her a tip. She kept making sure my water was refilled which was awesome. And she was very friendly unlike gossipy Josie. I've been there several times enough to have observed how she is. Don't think I'll ever waste my money on her when there's other Filipino restaurant.

  First time here as siblings and I came to visit close friends. They've ate and love it here so made reservations to eat on a Sunday for lunch as there was also another big party who enjoyed their food and also few smaller party tables. The place isn't that big but, what mattered is the whole purpose of the experience which was well-worth the price as it's decent.
  
  The service and staff are great and friendly. All the food, desserts and drinks were satisfying; we all left happy and very full no doubt, but no problem as we didn't regret and burned it off at union square lol.
  
  Highly suggest you make reservations especially if you're a big group, like we were and come hungry too lol. Will definitely come back to refer and eat here again with the love ones and great company!

  Man, they really know how to feed you here. The servings are large and the price is pretty OK. The food is good. We ordered one of the platters and the sinigang. I loved the sinigang and my companions enjoyed the platter. That being sad, the egg was too salty for them and I think they upsold us on the food since the 6 person platter really just feeds more than that.
  The service is slow but friendly. It's small inside. Just note it's cash only. Parking might be an issue on a busy night, but we didn't have any problems.

  I'm so glad I found this hole-in-the-wall, authentic, inexpensive Filipino spot! Their plates are great, you can just order for how many are in your group and you get an appropriately sized shared plate with samplers of all their best stuff!
  
  THE WAIT:
  None on a Saturday at 12:30pm. There were only a couple other tables who ate.
  
  THE SERVICE:
  Friendly, and fast!
  
  MUST-HAVES:
  Pork BBQ, grilled Tilapia, Halo Halo (dessert).
