Delicious, reasonably priced, authentic Filipino food served in an adorable little restaurant. I will absolutely be back- everything about this place is phenomenal!

Staff was super friendly, my girlfriend and I had to eat outside due to the limited space and party indoor however I really enjoyed the breeze and calmness of the area. The food was delicious and we really enjoyed the subtlety of the chicken and pork adobos flavor. Came with a pineapple and a generous portion of rice. All in all a really wonderful experience if you like Filipino food and even if you don't definitely give this place a try, you may come to love it.

Definitely one of the most authentic Filipino restaurants in the KC area. They have Bilao platters that can feed an fairly large family. They are also very accommodating with orders. For example, they made the sinigang (tamarind soup) more sour for our party. The only real drawback is the longer than usual wait and small restaurant. To their credit, the food is definitely all prepared fresh, made to order. I highly recommend if you want to try authentic Filipino cuisine.

Meanwhile yesterday! ? Reunited and it felt so good! ? met up with. Met up with foodie friends at Manila Bay Express where once again mama Norma Thayer did her magic! Food for the Soul! A full on party for the tastebuds. So many fantastic flavors!!! Having spent my first year in the us with my aunt by marriage who is Filipina, we ate yummy, delicious food daily! Yesterday just took me back to the family dinning table. The “Crispy Pata” AKA pork leg is ISANLY delicious crispy skin on the outside, tender and juicy inside. The grilled shrimp was SWEET and SMOKY, the Sisig DIVINE, the grilled pompano SUCULENT, the pineapple HEAVENLY and the lumpia well, I need a truck full of them. #friendsarefamily #eatlikealadyshould

Food was very delicious! A 5 star, if the wait wasn't long.

Authentic Filipino food indeed. Great food and service. Brandon is super friendly. He gave us tips on the best days to come based on delivery and when we mentioned we live pretty far away, he relayed just to give him a call and he’ll set out order aside and time it with our arrival. They deliver food too but didn’t inquire about it. I assume frozen. Two dishes with lumpia came out to $35. Seemed pricey at first but the portions are pretty large. We’ll be back! ?

This place is bomb! Was just stopping by to try out the broasted chicken and was pretty pleased. Give it a try!

The lechon kawali tastes really good. Other foods in the menu aren't that much impressive. The guy with eyeglasses taking our order was rude for no reason. He told me the total bill for the first food I mentioned that I wanted to order without even asking if that's all I wanted. He was very impatient to begin with. He even dropped our to go food in front of us on the table while we were eating in a rude and condescending manner. Very disrespectful. You do not want to be in this restaurant. The foods aren't that good anyway.

Excellent prices excellent service and even better food. My new favorite place. I am gluten free and have a hard time finding food I enjoy and this place is very delicious! They even have gluten free deserts. I wanna go here everyday. ? ??

Good food!!! Nice lady at the counter. I like the decorations inside. They need a better signage outside though. We almost left because we did not find the place when we first drove by.
