We stumbled across this lovely cafeteria style restaurant as it’s located in same shopping complex as the Tile Shop. Before agonizing over different shades of white bathroom tile, we decided to try out this restaurant as neither my husband or I have ever tried Filipino food. The restaurant was clean and had plenty of booth seating. We were a little confused at first on how to order because we saw no menu listing the various food items, but staff explained the various meat and veggie options. I ordered the barbecue pork with a delicious vegetable stew made with squash, shrimp, and long beans in a light coconut milk. It came with a heaping serving of white rice. My husband ordered same veggie stew and chicken adobo and liked his food as well. I grabbed a dessert—a rice cake called sapin-sapin—from their refrigerator as they are a small market and have prepared foods to take out as well. It was delicious! Would definitely go back again!

Let me first start this recommendation with this place is outstanding. Truly authentic home-style cuisine. If you had a Filipino friend or went to a Filipino function, this is the food you would get. Tasty and definitely made with love. Now the details. This is authentic cuisine, don't expect just the flavor or an Americanized version of the food. This means the flavors are different from what most Americans are used to. The food can be oily. When you're cooking for flavor you're going to have some oil. Love it, embrace it. Some of the food is served on the bone. Sometimes you might get a little gristle. Don't be shy eat like you're at home. Cuz this is authentic home cooking. For those unfamiliar with Filipino cooking this is a great taste in an authentic bite. The prices are very good. Very competitive for a fast-casual restaurant. It's very clean and there's plenty of seating.parking is easy even if you have to compete with people going to the market next door.

This was my first time trying Filipino food. We had a great experience. The lady at the counter explained every dish to us and we pick what we thought we would enjoy. Everything tasted good! We ordered rice and some stewed pork as well as noodles and chicken. We also grabbed some frozen pork buns from the shop inside the restaurant. Will come back to try something else.

The take away: I would definitely come back here. The thorough review: A Filipino restaurant with a limited but respectable selection of main courses. After ordering two of the classics for dine in (i.e., bistek and chicken adobo), the cashier asked me just to pay after my dinner—I wasn’t sure if that was the norm or perhaps, she was simply busy helping another customer with another issue. I enjoyed the meal—no complaints. And apparently, they sell bulalo which I may have to try the next time I’m in the area. There is no shortage of parking outside which is a major plus. On the groceries front, I found the prices to be reasonable vs some places in MD that criminally overcharges. Overall, it was a pleasant eating and grocery shopping experience.
