Clients Reviews

This place is unreal. So I've never really had Filipino food before. I've had lumpia and Jollibee a little but never Filipino food proper so I had to come here to try some. I don't even know what to say. Every single thing was delicious. The meats were all incredibly tender, the sauces incredibly flavorful. It was all cooked to perfection. The man at the counter was very friendly and helped me out by explaining the dishes to me a little bit (and I tried everything anyway). This place is perfect if you're new to Filipino food since it's a buffet and you can try a little bit of everything. For $14 it's an absolute STEAL because this food is insanely good. Also, I know a lot of people are a little shy about blood but definitely try the pork blood stew here. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about it myself but it was probably one of my favorite things in the bar. Only a little of that iron taste but it went perfectly with the rest of the spices and the rice. The shrimp in the coconut curry sauce were also a favorite of mine. Also, if you like fried chicken absolutely grab the fried chicken on the hot bar! My only regret is other people were grabbing it so fast I only got to try once piece but it was phenomenal! Honestly? Just try everything. There wasn't a single thing I disliked on the bar. Everything was delicious and fresh and full of flavor. Just eat all of it. I know I tried to.

Love this Filipino restaurant! Definitely worth going. Everything is made fresh right now so it does take a little bit longer to get your food sometimes but well worth it.

Jason

Beyond 10/10, home cooked Filipino food with so much flavor and depth. Best meal I’ve had in a LONG time! Post lunch halo-halo and cassava cake was the cherry on top.

If you have never had Filipino food before, this place it a great start! Grace is so kind and explained her dishes. It's a buffet style it's all you can eat! The Curry was my favorite, but the Garlic fried rice and Adobo chicken was also delicious! We will return!

If you grew up in the Philippines and your aunt or mom lived nearby, this restaurant would feel just like that. It’s not just about restaurant food; it’s about home-cooked meals that bring comfort and nostalgia. The ingredients are all-natural, and you can taste the authenticity in every dish. Every time I come here, it feels like home. The food quality is excellent, and the buffet style allows you to enjoy a variety of dishes. If you were to order the same amount of food at a regular Filipino restaurant, it would easily cost five times more. And every time you go, you are greeted “Tuloy po kayo! Kain na tayo.”

I visited Pompano and was looking for Filipino Food around the area until I came across with this restaurant. The food is really great, feels like home actually! The moment you enter the restaurant, you'll be greeted with "kain na" and right in front of you is the buffet area with different choices for ulam. I'd say for the price of it ($15 as of this writing) its really worth it. You'll get a taste of each of the viand without soending extra in your pocket! Highly recommended to check out when around the area!
