Tasty Filipino food— pretty surprising and unexpected for the area. They served us a soup when we came in and it is like a Korean bone broth soup, savory and delicious. Maybe if we are ever back in the area we will try again.

Amazong food for a great price.
I will definitely come back to try something new.

Also, the waiter was super nice and once he realised that my friend only spoke English, he immediately switched to speaking English so she could understand everything.
