One of my wifes coworkers suggested that we go here and other Filipinos agree about the restaurant being very good. The waitress took the time needed to help us with the menu. Much of what we ordered was a function of the coworkers suggestions tempered by the waitress’ judgement. We gobbled up the Lumpia Shanghai which are thin crispy mini egg rolls without much filling. The Sweet and Sour Red Snapper was good but had too much sauce for my taste. The Kare-Kare is oxtail in peanut sauce and although it came recommend it did not impress me. I did like the Bicol Express, it was my favorite with seafood in coconut milk.Next time I want to try the soups.Many of the vegetable dishes have meat or fish in them, so watch the menu descriptions. PLEASE MAKE RESERVATIONS, it is a small place and gets crowded.
After a really long time of wanting to go here I finally made it in for lunch today with an old colleague who happens to be Filipino, so you know this the real deal:)The servers are very friendly and helpful in explaining what is on the menu or how it’s made. We really enjoyed the Guinataang Gulay at Hipon which is mixed vegetables and steamed shrimp cooked in coconut milk. The sauce was delicious, and even though do love coconut it wasn’t overly coconut-y and has a really smooth and rich texture that has tons of flavor! If you’re a fan of bbq or pork you have to get the Inihaw Pork! The grill marks, the flavor and juiciness of the meat is all there! Next time I’m going to save more room for dessert to try the Halo-Halo! northandred.com
