"This place is run by an old couple. The inside was ok. The food we ordered was pork broth(ainigang), adobo squid (which taste nice)and laing veg. The laing taste bitter and was not shredded properly(as far as I know how it should be cook and how I tasted it from Filipino gatherings). There was big leaves portion when I scooped it and it was bitter, I don 't understand why. That was not the taste I have expected. Also the old man serving when he took our orders, he didn 't say that every rice and dish ordered is good for two people to consume, so we ended up having huge bowls of broth, plate of squid, laing veg and rice that we wanted to finish as much as we can in order not to waste. The rice cake(bibingka) which I was hoping a home made one was not(I don 't know why I expected so much). It was like one of those rice cakes portioned and wrapped that are sold in Filipino stores and doesn 't taste biko bibibgka at all so with the maja blanca. It was like another cornstarch biko and brown. For three people with two desserts and two juices we paid £79 quid. We have to ask the old man to see the menu prices again bcoz he gave us a HAND WRITTEN RECEIPT stating just the total amount that we should pay. I think he was starting to get annoyed with us and offended coz he was handing us a card where we can visit their website and see how much they price their food. In my head, if they can produce a calling card for their website, how come they can 't provide an itemised receipt nowadays that you usually get in any restaurants. Overall, I feel like that was a rip off. Especially when he was saying, the business has been bad since covid bcoz they get some bookings and then get cancelled and they can only serve until 10pm."

Always very good but like all London restaurants, becoming quite expensive, but worth it if you enjoy or want to try Filipino food and Red Horse Beer.

Food wise everything we ordered was delicious. Me and my girlfriend were completely satisfied. Although appearance wise the restaurant isn’t the best the food made me forget and I simply relished the taste.

Amazing Filipino flavours and Jack is attentive without being intrusive. We really enjoyed the Lechon Kawali and Chicken Adobo. Aubergine omelette was also amazing, all freshly prepared in-house by Josephine, who emerged from the kitchen later. Would definitely recommend this place to anybody curious or wanting to try Filipino cuisine
