Great new Filipino food restaurant! Clean, quaint and the most personable service! Good food! The pork tocino and siapao were really good and they also serve calamansi juice!
Go try it out — very reasonably priced, too.

Great philipino home-​style food place with a very friendly stuff. Pretty much everything you’ll try will be good especially kinilaw tuna (similar to ceviche but better) and beef tapa. Soups are also delicious and perfect for winter.

One of the best Filipino restaurants I’ve tried. Excellent food. Love the balbacua and kinilaw. Price is very reasonable and service was prompt as well. Love this place!

Been here three times already, brought friends and family with me and all I can say is that their cooking taste really good. My favorite is the balbacua. They are the only Filipino restaurant as far as I know here in Chicagoland that makes this recipe. It tastes darn good! The rest taste really good, too. That’s why I kept telling my friends and family and coworkers to come check out this place because I know they won’t regret it. So far the ones that came said that they really, really like the foods that they ordered.

Simple and honest filipino food made promptly! Loved to see they offer combo meals for a quick fix as well as traditional dishes for dinner options. Nice spot to stop by if you live in the neighborhood.

It was a typical cold sunday evening when me and co. were looking for a bowl of good ol filipino sabaw. then this place struck me! Ive heard it recently opened so we decided to try. Food def takes you back to your roots. kilaw made me feel like I was by the shore. the bulalo was flavorful and had lots of stuff thats usually missing when you look elswhere. You have to come on by, its a great little retreat from a big city’s hustle and bustle

So glad this place opened in the neighborhood. Since this place is fairly new, my visit was not perfect. They have a lot of room for improvements. The dishes are descent but nothing special. Serving size is fairly small for the price. Still not the authenticity I am looking for… Not yet. I will come back again to try it for the 2nd time and see if it’s better.
