★★★★★ 5.0 Kerry Chou · Jan 2026

Stopped over on the way to Kona and got their special of the day - which was a combination of crispy pork and chicken. Absolutely phenomenal dish! Everything was fresh and crispy with an addicting sauce, I think the only thing I would suggest is some more tomatoes, but hope to return!

This is a little gem in the Parker food court. Every time I’ve eaten here the portions are great, the taste is amazing, and I have enough to take home or split with a partner. I love their adobo and you can tell everything is cooked to order. Attached photo is pork adobo with garlic fried rice and egg.

If you're hungry and nearby, this is the place to be. The staff are some of the nicest and most passionate people I've ever met and every single thing I've ordered across my many visits has been fantastic. If you're unfamiliar with Filipino food, I would suggest the Sisig or Kare-Kare. I ordered the Garlic Chicken (one of their many rotating daily specials) for the first time during my last visit and it was, no hyperbole, perfection. I often daydream about their food when I'm not in town and it saddens me when I'm too far away to go there for lunch sometimes. More than reasonable portions and the prices are generally pretty affordable too.

This bowl of beef mami took me back to my childhood eating mami at school on a rainy day. It definitely embraces the richness and taste of filipino home cooking ♡︎
