    Same taste as with the Max's in the Philippines, I missed the Ube Decadence and there should be one on the menu. Hopefully next time. Overall it was delicious.

    The garlic fried rice will be the best rice dish that ever happened to you. Choose it over white rice.

    If you're getting mais con quezo try ordering it as a take out since, the amount you get is more than dining in. Its like comparing a small tall glass to a small fat cup (similar to dunkin donut cups)

    depends on what type of Filipino food you like and have acquired. to me, all their food is very salty so chose wisely !

    Get the Fried Chicken. It's the reason why this restaurant exists. While you are at it, get everything else.

    It's gotten a lot better in the last few months. Try the lumpia shanghai, kare kare, bistec and lechon kawali. Good stuff.

    The quality of the food-horrible, the waiter kept pushing us to buy food we did not want, charged extra for refills, and to make matters worse my wife got sick and threw up when she got home. 1 star!

    Don't bother with the chicken. Its regular fried chicken. KFC tastes better! The appetizer teaser is good and lechon kawali. Very nice staff though!
