Could be better.

This Pinoy joint has been around for awhile (surprisingly). If you like greasy food, this is your kind of place. Looking at the food, you can almost feel the grease clogging your arteries. Then again, that's typical of most Filipino dishes - fried or swimming in grease. The spread is buffet style and the menu changes everyday. Amongst the regular offerings are chicken adobo, pansit bihon/canton, apritada (beef or pork or chicken), sinigang etc. Again, all are pretty tasty but very greasy. Their vegetable offering is typical of Filipino food - if you acquired the taste for it, you may just enjoy it; otherwise, the vegetable are always overcook(again, it's typical of Filipino dishes).

Overall, if you're Filipino, you surely would enjoy their food. If you're not, well it could be a pleasant experience or a forgettable one.

• Pros: inexpensive, all you can eat
• Cons: greasy food, tacky decoration (i.e. imagine Christmas decoration still up all year round)

Overall food taste good, at times oily.. they need to work on customer service.. bit snobbish.. we bought their siopao, quite disappointed with the filling, almost nothing inside-mostly bread..hope they can improve it. thanks.

filipino food the Bee Gees -- paradise!

by nancyn at Citysearch

Really fantastic buffet featuring pretty authentic filipino food, and the magic of Mongolian barbeque, plus a great bakery (with great prices).

But the best part is the ambience: Christmas lights all year, wacky music (last time I was there it was the Bee Gees), a dance floor, and part of the menu is in (what I think is) Tagalog. I thought it was wonderful.

• Pros: inexpensive, variety, unusual
