  This is a very small, family owned hole in the wall with great service and authentic Filipino food. When I think of buffet, I typically envision a larger restaurant, BUT this spot is indeed true to the definition of buffet. The buffet area is a super tight squeeze. It can get uncomfortable if busy. Like too many people in a small apartment kitchen uncomfortable. One or 2 at a time is probably best. The dining area is more spacious.
  
  I came for a late lunch with my parents on a Saturday and the service was great. There are a lot of pork items in the line up which doesn't work especialy well for me (but I understand is cultural), but what I was able to try was tasty and "on point" in my opinion. For the price I would need more options to return regularly.
  
  It was pretty ridiculous that there were tongs instead of a knife for the bundt cake. Seemed like it was their way of making it last; reducing the customer's portion. Just give us a knife or pre-slice it for us, please. They cater by the way.

  I had a really good Filipino buffet when I was in Rome. Out of all places right? So I had to search for something that was similar and I finally found it. The price was good and the food was even better. I'm biased because I love buffets but the quality of the food was excellent. They made sure to keep each dish stocked even though the restaurant was small.

  Food: 6/10
  Service: 7/10
  Value: 6/10
  Ambience: 5/10
  
  TL;DR - Average food with various flavour profiles. Lumpia and grilled BBQ beef were the only outstanding items for me (can't really go wrong with those). Halo-Halo was phenomenal as well (my first).
  
  Second time trying Filipino food for me. We went in an hour before closing Sunday and everything still seem okay (No more Lechon, though).
  
  The atmosphere is your typical hole in a wall Asian restaurant (nothing spectacular). Service was friendly and half casual-half professional. Bathroom was clean overall, despite someone forgetting to flush and left one big piece of evidence for all to admire. (yes TMI)
  
  Halo-Halo was a nice finisher for sure (~$5 I believe).
  
  I'm not sure I'll be back, but it was interesting to try out various Filipino dishes, though I have no idea what most of them were called (No label). I could simply ask, but none of the dishes really stood out for me to do so.
  
  Please note that I tried and ate everything that was offered except for dessert. My girlfriend tried some but was not impressed with any of them IIRC.

  If you want super good Filipino home cooking, great friendly service, and a happy yummy go here.
  
  This is a small shop and the buffet is super affordable:
  Weekdays - $10.99
  Weekends - $12.99
  
  I love that we went late for lunch and they estalles food for us. So fresh egg rolls (lumpia), noodles, and their amazing soups!
  
  Also their desserts are really good. I don't even like desserts and thought they were amazing.
  
  The workers there were super nice and helpful. We had a LOT of questions because it was our first time there and we don't eat Filipino food that often and they were super patient and had good explanations.
  
  Definitely coming back again!
