Loved it. I'm a big fan of places that make you feel at home. Ordered 4 entrees and 4 desserts. Wasn't disappointed.

Great food and atmosphere. The pinakbet was amazing! Ask for extra shrimp paste if you need that saltiness. Service was attentive and very friendly. Also the cocktail, the Juliette, was very refreshing and tasty. The girlfriend really enjoyed it and said it was perfect after a long day at work.

They are brand new, so I will have to return for a full review later. I sat at the bar for happy hour and sampled several of their specials. The people behind the bar were very friendly and helpful. The owner even came around to ask about our experience. The special mixed drink of the day was a guava based concoction that was excellent. Sweet, but not overly so and very flavourful. We also had the fingerling egg rolls, which has a different name. They were okay - nothing unusual. The chicken adobo sliders were very good but a tad more expensive for the happy hour. The main issue here is probably my own confusion or sense for what was to be expected. The bar section is very much a sports bar with flat screens everywhere. They even have a baby jukebox The space is less intimate or warm and feels large in scale. It is a very different experience than Bad Saint in 11th in Columbia Heights.

Decided to check this place out after the eater DC piece, and I will definitely be going back! We started off with a spring-roll like appetizer which was great - lightly fried, super crispy, very delicious! We then got a vegetarian noodle dish and the chicken adobo. We would definitely order both again. The ume ice cream was the star, very savory and not too sweet, and the cocktails were also great.

Food was good and staff was really friendly. Large space with some loud groups but at least everyone was having fun. Prices are moderate and portions are generous.
