This restaurant was life-changing. Specifically, the oxtail. It's in the ready-to-go hot bar, and it's definitely the best oxtail we've ever tried. The gravy is crazy -- like the best demi glace ever -- and the oxtail is so tender. We'll definitely be back to get a large serving of the oxtail! We also got the shrimp pancit bihon (made to order, so it took some time since they were slammed with takeout orders), which had a lovely garlic flavor. Not many shrimp, but that garlic vermicelli was addicting! It was outshined by the oxtail, but it was still quite good. Needless to say, I love this place and am excited to come back and get more oxtail (and maybe try some more of their Jamaican foods).

Delicious Filipino Resto in town, amazing! I ordered 3 pork dishes (pork diniguan, pork bicol, pork adobo) & 1 portion of egg roll, and all of them were so mouthwatering. For Bataknese, the food was quite similar with our ethnic food (diniguan = saksang; bicol = gule; & adobo = babi kecap). Would love to come back to this resto. The waiter was so friendly and nice, there was also restroom in the resto.

a very little restaurant, mini carenderia style. they serve both filipino and jamaican dishes. we ordered dinuguan and bicol express and the serving is good for 2 people, affordable price. 2 dishes, 1 steamed white rice and 1 soda = $33 they also serve more variety of filipino dishes in their menu made and cooked to order. it satisfied my cravings for filipino comfort food.

Food: Tried a few of their Filipino dishes and they were great. Taste like home cook meal, except theirs taste better lol. Crispy pork bellies, crispy egg rolls, and fried fish all delicious! Price is on the higher side and smaller portions. Halo Halo, OMG (unfortunately, serving size seems to be getting smaller than it used to be 6 months ago). Lemon drink with honey addictive. As for Jamaician jerk chickens, I had better ones at Holbrook and at Hyannis, MA. Plantaine was a real disappointment, it seems air fry and tasted dried. Chicken patties are better than the beef patties, again smaller in size for the same price as others. Service: The Filipino owner is friendly and she is the cook of the flilipino dishes. Lines can be long if you get there at the wrong time and the wait for the food can be even longer. Ambience, like the island vibes deco and Bob Marley picture. Replace current music with reggie music and perhaps I will come to eat more.

Not from around here, but if I was I would be 500 pounds because of this place. We got a couple things and everything we got was crazy delicious. Lumpia and pancit bihon reminded me of mom’s. My jamaican beef patty disappeared before my eyes. Seriously, check this place out!

This is perhaps my 4th or 5th time here, and this last visit was quite off-putting. Rose, the owner, wasn’t there; it was a man behind the counter. Now, the service remains friendly; however, the food portions were so ridiculous. We ordered a large jerk chicken for $21, and it didn’t come with rice and peas and the steamed veggies that it normally comes with. I had to ask him a few minutes later if we could have some veggies, and he gave us maybe 2-3 spoonfuls, which was insulting. Then I also had the medium-size Bicol Express for $18 and pinakbet for $10, which came with white rice. I mean, $10 for pinakbet with no meat in a small bowl is a shame. The portions were incredibly, shamefully small. The food is still good and authentic, but for $50? I don’t think I’ll be back. The food is 5 stars, but the portions aren’t worth the $.

Bummed I live far away. I went basic with garlic rice and chicken adobo but it was so freaking good. They ran out of patties by 2😞. Girl at the front was nice. Place was full and clean. Will be back to try another dish. Went back and tried a dish I've never had and it was DELICIOUS!
