Tried the 808 plate since I haven't had ribs in years. Got the beef ribs. Not a huge value for your dollar. It looks like a lot in the picture, but the ribs were 80% bone and had fat. The beef ribs were messy to eat and the sauce was pretty average. The plate comes with 2 lumpia, 2 crispy shrimps and one (fried?) Slice of spam. I probably wouldn't get this again, all 3 of those were pretty average, what you could get at a grocery store or Costco. Dipping sauces were average. The Mac salad is good and creamy. The rice is good. The salad is pretty lackluster, just greens and a dressing. The dressing wasn't that good either. No toppings there. If I went back, I would try something else (maybe the halo-halo since I have never had that before). So far my view of this restaurant is: looks really pretty and good, but tastes average. Music inside was very loud, but the place was busy during lunch. Normally when I get takeout elsewhere, I usually get full halfway into my meal. When I had the 808 plate, I was able to finish everything, which means it wasn't super filling.

I came a few times when they opened and haven’t been back since their hours were limited. After work I decided to come and see if they were open. They were and their hours are longer now, too! Yay! My go to is always the garlic shrimp but this time the shrimp was too tough. (Overcooked) But it’s was my first time ordering their original halo-halo and it was good. Just difficult to eat with it heaping over but it was delish. Love the atmosphere. Island vibe music makes me miss home.

This little Filipino cafe is tucked away in a shopping complex in Everett and is a little off the beaten path, but totally worth the drive. The chicken adobo is really flavorful and tender - I got it with extra garlic rice. I also recommend the lumpia and the Halo-Halo was also amazing! I got the “original” and it came topped off with ube soft-serve ice cream and a piece of flan… Mmm! 😋

DESTINATION RESTAURANT. GOTTA COME. this is the first time that I've been here and I love the decor. I have lived in the Philippines for almost a decade and I love the good food but Frederick, he's just so warm and welcoming here and I'm really looking forward to the 808 mixplate with all the ribs in the lumpia but right now we're just sitting in just a really well appointed and beautiful little space. great music, gently playing in the background you got to stop here. this is a real treat for the soul. Watch TV videos of soothing pictures and great music. Wonderful ambiance. Wow! Speedy, hot, crispy food. Came quickly and fresh. Various condiments at service station. Liz plated it beautifully. Value for the money. Homemade macaroni salad is best I have had. Not usually a fan, but this is tasty. Big Island vibe, we listened to reggae, Asian. Hawaiian, and Polynesian music. The lumpia and meaty ribs reminded me of Filipino inihaw BBQ, the Mac salad and spam of Hawaiianemories, and greensalad had Asian sesame oil flavor. I have had a lot of Hawaiian shaved ice, Viet bubble tea and Filipino Halo Halo. FANTASTIC, BEST EVER Halo Halo. Mine started with cinnamon sprinkle ice cream sitting on frosted flakes and marshmallows. That went to husband, who is more conservative. I then delved down to shaved ice in cream with crutches frosted corn flakes, and tapioca balls and mango. WAY ABOVE AVERAGE, THIS IS AWESOME FOOD. Frederick and Liz are great to meet. Come on and meet them. Worth the drive from anywhere (we live by Canadian border, Mt Baker), but Uber eats came in a couple times for food delivery. Coming back next time in town.
