May 31 · Nea BacolodA FOODIE’S FIND OF AN OUTSTANDING FILIPINO RESTAURANT🤩🤩🤩. It’s traditional home cooking of culinary treasures mostly from the Luzon Island of Philippines… There’s much of the true Umami flavors so enjoyable of traditional Luzon cooking.The food servings are large: good for 2-3 people👍👍👍.Dinners come with house soup: A most delightful consommé of chicken and vegetable broth.👏👏👏.RECOMMENDATIONS that exude umami flavors:🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 LUMPIA SARIWA: uniquely Filipino vegetarian crepes.+ Lightly blanched yet crispy crunchy vegetables that includes strips of heart of palm👏.+ Complex textures of simply seasoned veggies wrapped in paper-thin tapioca-egg crepes, married together by luscious sauce that fortifies natural Umami flavors of the veggies.+ Topped with chopped peanuts the adds new layer of texture.🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Pakbet: a treasure of Northwest Luzon, a very lovely stew yet Al Dental oriental vegetables simply seasoned with ground peppercorns … and what I thought is plain salt but the owner/cook says it’s light fish sauce (simply WOW.+ The Au Jus exudes the Umami flavor that’s absolutely delightful.🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Dinuguan: yet another uniquely Filipino blood stew of pork… it’s the Pièce de Résistance of Philippine culinary culture.+ For a pork entree, it’s surprisingly has the Umami flavor blended with a slightly tart taste of rice wine vinegar and mild heat from hot banana peppers…. It’s heavenly !!!The staf are amongst the most amiable people in the restaurant industry one would ever meet. The cook/owner (I think) makes her rounds talking with diners.THE MENU IS SHORT, the very sign of mastery of the cook/chef and a clear vision of the owner. It’s the type of menu one could surely explore furthermore in subsequent visits.VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 👍👍👍👍👍
September 28 · A V (globetrotter)Ive been missing their grilled liempo and so we revisited this July and had a wonderful lunch!it wasnt too busy on an early Sunday but there was a good amount of people ahead of us already. Service was good and music played were nice! Ambiance is dark though, whereas i prefer places that have more natural light.We got their grilled liempo (of course!), shrimp sinigang and grilled bangus. Everything complimented each other - the savoriness of the pork and the warm and sour soup of the sinigang. The fish was nicely cooked and we loved the veggie toppings. We were so full but still decided to get the halo-halo anyway haha Ive had better halohalo though; theirs was little ube ice cream and the ice is not fine. Its pieces of ice that you have to crunch with your teeth rather than that melt in your mouth shaved ice so we’ll probably skip that next time. Overall its one hearty meal over here.
July 30 · Kimberly TuanoThe service is friendly, accommodating, and warm. The food is delicious! Service is quick, too. They don't rush you out. We specially enjoyed the kare-kare, sinigang na pompano, lumpiang sariwa, grilled fish, and the halo halo. All their dishes are authentic. Their bibingka is also good! Pricing is fair. This is our go-to Filipino restaurant in North Jersey.
September 08 · EvelynGood and service was fantastic. They made a traditional cake for my mother-in-law for her bday for free. I was super impressed with the upstairs sitting.
