I was really looking forward to finally trying this place. The food had been recommended to me by friends, and it's close by. I made plans with family for dinner and made a Friday 6:30pm reservation for 3 online. Which was quickly confirmed. We arrived for our reservation about 5-10 minutes early. When we walked in, we stood and waited at the host stand. It was not very busy. 3 Tables had people eating, and there was a group of people hanging at the bar. 2-2 tops, 2-4 tops and a number of spaces at the bar were open. We stood at the host stand watching staff set up a table for one of their Kamayan dinners. No one acknowledged us. We waited about 5 minutes. Finally the staff member setting up...
The menu is well thought out and detailed, with each item clearly described, giving me a good idea of what to expect. The drink menu is equally creative and descriptive; I've never encountered such a diverse range of complex flavors in cocktails before.
Now, let's talk about the food—it's some of the best I've ever tasted! The chefs clearly know what they’re doing and genuinely aim to delight their guests. Everything was cooked to perfection, and the flavors were so rich that they lingered in our minds long after the meal was over.
I highly recommend this place to everyone, as it feels very welcoming and can accommodate various dietary preferences, including plenty of vegetarian options. D...
Mom and I went to try this place. The other 2 were disappointing. This was a bit better but still not quite there.The service was wonderful. Very helpful and attentive. We got our drinks and food quickly and at a good pace. The restaurant was cute and cozy.For appetizers, Mom ordered lechon kawali and I had the lumpia. Mom ate all of the lechon and loved it. The lumpia was good but was missing a bit more flavor.For dinner, Mom ordered the pork sinigang and I had longsilog. Mom said hers was too salty. The longaniza was really good and the garlic rice was good.Mom ordered halo halo and I got the leche flan. Mom loved the halo halo except the crushed ice was too hard and the should have used s...
Fantastic kitchen with unique cocktails! They have an all-day happy hour every Thursday. Rating: 5/5 for the Lumpia - super crispy, light, and savory, and the banana ketchup sauce is a delightful touch. The Filipino Cubano earns a 5/5 as well; I adore the one at Victor’s Cafe, and this one is even better and more affordable! The fries deserve a 4/5; they're proper French fries. However, the Lapu Lapu cocktail only gets a 2/5 for having bland, washed-out flavors. On a positive note, the La Bamba is a hit at 5/5—it's punchy and funky, while the Pinoy Colada is wonderfully creamy and refreshing, also earning a 5/5!

We went here for dinner with a couple friends on a Wednesday. The restaurant did not seem too busy, but the service was fairly slow. Overall, the food was not our favorite. I liked my kare-kare steak, but my wife did not like the sisig as there were lots of bits she found unappetizing. The drinks were pretty good, but slow to come. The other thing that was disappointing was there being a service charge on the bill, which we did not think was warranted.I hope this place does well, and that others enjoy their food more, but we do not plan on returning.
I had a wonderful birthday dinner here. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the staff was incredibly friendly—they truly make you feel at home! I tried the Pinoy Colada, and it was delicious. My date opted for the Lapu Lapu cocktail and loved it as well. Everything we ordered was not only tasty but also beautifully presented. We had the lumpia with banana ketchup, shrimp pancit, kare kare, halo halo, and flan. I highly recommend this restaurant for an outstanding dining experience!
This is hands down the best food I've experienced in Minneapolis! I heard about this place back in March and have been eager to visit every time I'm nearby, and I finally made it. It did not disappoint at all. Andrew welcomed us with a friendly smile, and the atmosphere was both fun and cozy. It's a charming little bistro with a smiling and attentive staff. I will definitely be returning! Great job, Andrew!
I had a wonderful experience at this Filipino restaurant. The lumpia was absolutely delicious, and the staff were both helpful and friendly. Finding street parking was somewhat tricky, but overall, I highly recommend this place and plan to come back. Just a heads up, on busy nights it's best to make a reservation. Food: 5/5.
