Eclectic Filipino Cuisine.

I was Not impressed with my order. Didnt look like the picture at all. It had Two table spoon of Rice and vegetables.Barely anything on my plate. Maybe Its the way it should be but for the price I expected more

Wow..don't about the other experiences people have had here but they bring a new taste to Filipino Cuisine.

my grandma cooks way better than this, and so does my mom.

Not your traditional Filipino cuisine, it’s Filipino with a twist and influenced by other South East Asian cuisines.Their lumpia was probably one of our favorite dishes! Must try!Burger was just okay, probably more worth it to get other dishes. They have so many interesting options don’t waste it on a burger.We preferred their garlic rice over the indorice, so if you love garlic, highly recommend asking to sub for garlic rice if your dish comes with indorice.The pork chops were really nicely fried and seasoned. We preferred that one over the fried pork belly. We also ordered the fried chicken, was good but would’ve preferred to try some of their other dishes. The pickled veggies that come on the side of each dish is a really nice touch to cut some of the fattiness.There was live music when we went which was really nice but also with so many people just hanging out by the bar, the restaurant felt really noisy and was tough to talk and had to shout when making conversation at our table.

We ordered the pork chop, Balinese chicken, burger and lumpia shanghai. Really enjoyed the pork chop and burger. The chicken was a little on the dry side but the rice was flavorful. The lumpia was good but pretty much par for the course.

The only fancy filipino dining in Monterey County. Impressed with presentation and I wish theres a little umph. Thanks for the wonderful dinner.

An elevated version of familiar dishes! It was simply delicious and was presented beautifully. It was a delight to eat here. The servers and the owner were very friendly too!

Came for a light meal during our 30th Anniversary. Great service and best food!! Delicious and elegant.Thank you Jason F!

Found Edwin's while wandering around Carmel looking for lunch. Menu looked inventive and limited enough for a quick choice. Opted for the Island Burger and Asian style fried Chicken after cauliflower-based soup and an egg roll appetizer. I liked my partners soup so requested one for myself. All was good, think we'll return for other items on the menu.
