My first time visiting today and I’ll surely return! The chicken adobo was tender and packed with flavor. The garlic rice was delightfully balanced and a fantastic complement to the adobo. The restaurant itself is clean and comfortable, welcoming to either the stay-and-eat or to-go crowd, and the plants in front are beautiful and well-tended. My order was prepared in a reasonable amount of time and piping hot upon receipt. The service was attentive and courteous. Very grateful for the experience and full belly today.

There is not a lot of filipino restaurants in North county. This formerly Manila Harbor restaurant place has transformed to a very high end place with new look and feel. Plus the air conditioning system works. The food is delicious and tasty with a very generous serving. The staffs were friendly and the service was prompt. The 2 item combo meal is between 8 to 10. I would visit them again, this time with friends. Good eats.

The pork sisig was perfect. Do ask for the authentic version which is the tender / non-fried one. Its sourness is at a perfect level which goes really well with the bell peppers and onion. Obviously you'd consume the sisig with rice but a bit of the grease mixed into the rice offers excellent flavor. There was a banner in the store saying hola-hola was chosen as the best dessert in SD 2021, so I tried it. I was blown away by it. Definitely come visit some time if you haven't before.

Best Halo-Halo in San Diego County! This spot serves the best halo-halo we've had in the area. Using shave ice was a genius touch—it keeps each bite perfectly icy and refreshing. The dessert is generously packed with all the classic halo-halo ingredients, including creamy ube ice cream and rich leche flan. The staff were incredibly friendly, vibrant, and efficient, making the experience even more enjoyable. Conveniently located near the I-15 freeway, this is definitely going to be a regular stop for our family.

Work within 5 minutes from this restaurant, never had time to sit and eat but damm this place makes me wanna come in every day. Didn’t know Filipino food was going to be this good. The decor is Modern and warm. And the food is extremely savory and filling for the price. Def worth it 10/10.

Was masarap! Kare Kare is a sentimental dish, I always compare to my Lola’s and my moms, and this did justice ! The oxtail was tender and was falling of the bone, it was sweet, salty, savory, and authentic. I know nothing beats moms or Lola’s, since we are all biased haha but this we delicious and the halo halo was the perfect treat after, Salamat po Kayo !!!
