SARAP SARAP!!!It was my first time eating here (08/12/22) and the food was just as amazing as the other 5/5 reviews said. I had the sisig, lechon, and halo halo (all pictured). They were very similar to how my Filipina wife and mother in law from Metro Manila make them, so yes, very authentic!! The service was very fast and kind as well. I can confidently say this is now my favorite take out food in the US. It makes me homesick for Manila even though I have never been there (moving there very soon) lol!You HAVE TO go and support this place! If you have no idea what Filipino food is just try their sisig with the provided dipping sauce and side of rice, it was plenty to fill me up even though I ordered lechon too (I'm a baboy!). Filipino food is made to combine each bite with rice and sauce otherwise you miss the full flavor. Then have a halo halo dessert. You will get great food for a very reasonable price!Now for my own rating system, KEEPING IN MIND this is a little take out place, not a full restaurant experience-Taste 10/10Cost 10/10Portion size 10/10Available options 8/10Atmosphere 10/10Decor 7/10Place to bring a friend 10/10Will I return? 10/10General Satisfaction 10/10

The food here was really good! You can tell that it's made with a lot of love and care. The pork adobo that I had here was flavorful and delicious, and I liked it a lot more than similar adobo dishes I've tried at other places. I'm still thinking about it now! The dessert I got there was also very refreshing and delicious. I'm glad I stopped by here and I'll definitely be back.

Truly the best authentic Filipino food in Minnesota 100%. Would be 5/5 if they had a menu to understand the food + ala cart to order from.

This place has amazing food! Came in With my boyfriend, and we tried a bit of everything. So delicious. Can’t go wrong with ordering anything here. The owner was very nice and he is passionate about what he cooks. Definitely recommend!!

Small counter service spot...friendly Filapino staff. Chicken curry was awesome. Spot on! Lechon (crispy pork) was juicy, crispy skin..they had 3 different sauces to please any palate. Vegetable egg rolls a winner!

Good food. i ordered beef caldereta and Bistek. next time i will order bangus paksiw and pata tim. Rated A.

BEAUTIFUL. FANTASTIC. PHENOMENAL. DELICIOUS. Anyone reading this who's on the fence, don't be silly, come here immediately. As soon as I walked in I was met with warm smiles. When I said I had never even tried Filipino food the chef himself and server were eager to let me sample their items. That alone showed me this place was all about its customers enjoying their experience. Lo and behold, of the six things they had me sample I had 0 complaints about any of them. You cannot go wrong here. Customers walking in to pick up their orders or sit down also took it upon themselves to sing Manila's praises upon hearing it was my first time there. I got recommendations of all sorts. You know what enthusiastic and loyal customers mean: the food is GOOD.The chef said since Filipino dishes are so varied and plentiful, he changes the menu up everyday. He said that the signatures like adobo, sisig, and crispy pork belly is usually here everyday. There's also baked goods and Filipino drinks available, and the country's signature dessert Halo Halo.I got the sisig, adobo, and a meat skewer with rice. Holy hell was it satisfying and tasty. My husband and I shared one lunch special and we were full. The servings are incredibly generous. We also shared the Halo Halo.100/10 stars. Seriously. Go here now. What you see is what you get, kind people who care about their food and the people that eat it. It's as good as it gets.

Foods taste decent; not as delicious as the ones we’ve had back home in the Philippines, but they’re good enough.

Amazing flavors seriously wow. The sauce is truly out of this world. The meat is tender and rice is perfectly cooked even after the long drive home. Definitely salty but not overpowering. Perfect blend of sweet and spicy. 10/10!

Such a great customer service experience everytime we come and buy meal. Super friendly and relationship building to customer is fabulous. They treat people like family. The food and environment made me feel like I am in the Philippines.
