I mean..... daly city + filipino food = this place
Located at a strip mall above the mercedes dealership, off gellert
Plenty spaces in their parking lot
Restaurant itself is on the smaller side, one way in and one way out. Dining area can seem spacious but not really.... about 8 mix and match tables.
When u walk in, its dining space of tables and towards the back is a long counter with a register ....looks like a takeout kitchen.
....to be honest, this is NOT an inviting type of restaurant.
If its packed, you gotta write your name and party number down on their notepad at the front table by the door.
Note: When we got here before 1p on a tuesday it was 'busy' so we waited like 25 min for a seat. (Its because when peepss come to eat out, they like to take their time to eat and chill ...and if its a big party, they got no sence of urgency at all)
When we sat we were ready to order
...went with their PORK SISIG, KARE KARE and TOFU SISIG, and WHITE RICE.
we wanted to put the egg on the tofu and not on the pork and guess what..we was told that they can NOT do egg on the tofu, only the pork? Ummmm.....ok
*****here is the kicckurrr tho...... they brought this meal out super fast. Hooked up a big bowl of rice for us to share. That tofu sisig came out awesomely noisy in its sizzling pan. The kare kare was beautifully displayed in a pot of peanut sauce....and when the pirk sisig came out, same song and dance with that nice smell of grease and flavors lol.
The food taste was impressive. Very tasty, not too rich...not salty. Just really tasty and we enjoyed all of it. And they hooked up the alamang paste, too!
Overall, i was primed to leave this joint a 3 star on the initial walk in and wait, but then the food came out and my thoughts changed. I will probably neer post a 5 star for any filipino restaurant because alot of things have to work right for that to happen ...but on food alone, this place is an honest 4 STAR spot. I recommend all yall give em a try so you can taaaste, what this place, iiss coookinnnn!
