What Clients Say

Had no idea this place was here but so happy to have found it! A combo of rice and 2 meats for 11.99 can’t be beat! And the flavor is even better than the price! I’m so glad this place is five minutes from my house I will be back more than once in a week!

I love the Filipino food they make here. My boyfriend and I always come and buy meals and Filipino food/drinks. This is a little hidden gem. Didn’t know about this place until a couple months ago. There’s so much typical Filipino food here. Pastries and Filipino products. You just have to check it out for yourself. I can’t explain it all.

A hidden gem! It’s a small establishment that could easily be missed on a busy Main Street. I decided to try it out and I was not disappointed. You can’t go wrong! They have great choices of Filipino/ Asian cooking ingredients, pastries and a variety of delicious home cooked food. Parking has not been an issue either. Staff are helpful & friendly.
