Food here was quite amazing. You want to try to be adventurers when trying new types of food. We arrived with a large part in the back enjoying a fund time. We attempted to try a large portion of the menu. Some items may throw some people off but I wanted to try everything. What we didn’t realize the desert wasn’t on the main menu and by the time we finished our main course the kitchen was closed. Take the train it wasn’t that far from the restaurant. Pork chicken beef fish it alls works well. Various rice dishes were also amazing.

Real authentic Filipino dishes. Their okoy is the best tasting crispy bean sprout veggie I have ever tasted compared to other places. Will definitely come back again. I ordered the langka jackfruit coconut veggie and crispy pork belly great combo. Reading other reviews I must try the tuna jaw next time. Delicious 🤤

We loved our experience here. The place ain't loud and cramped. The food is tasty and affordable. A lot of it is for share so it's perfect for group dining. My personal fave was the bicol express. It was perfect. The kaldereta was tasty but a bit tough. The grilled squid was a bit chewy but it was fresh and the pork bbq was a bit dry- it needs a bit of fat and sauce. But all in all it was worth the drive. We should try the other menu items next time.

First time eating at this restaurant. The ambiance is nice and relax. The location is away from the Filipino area but still nice because the parking is not hard to find. The good are delicious and price are affordable. Definitely, have a wait for food during peak hours. The staff are friendly. The only thing the gratuity needs to be in cash as I was told by the server and its already computer for me at 18%. I just wish you get to choose an amount for the tips based on how service was provided. Well, all good those two servers are good so 18% is fine at the time. Overall, will still come back next time. Food and service is good and whats important.

The stars are for the manager, Isaac, ONLY. My husband and I have been trying all of the Filipino spots to find our favorites… this one was unfortunately terrible as far as the food is concerned. I downloaded grubhub this week and they were my first order, BIG MISTAKE. Mainly the pork adobo. As you can see in the photo, the portion is absurd. The container it came in was smaller than my hand.. and I’m only 5 ft, 110 lbs! So my hands are tiny! The bowl had 4, FOUR!!, pieces of meat! Mind you their prices are high and do not include rice which fine. But that lil crap bowl is $17!!! If you do the math, that’s $4.25 per piece of meat. Can you grasp how ridiculous that is??! Plus, it wasn’t even good.. it was watery and the soy sauce was over powering. The ginisang ampalaya was also watery and lacked flavor. The pancit was a bit too “wet” for my taste. Food definitely did not give me the nostalgic feeling I was hoping for when I eat Filipino food.. I wanted to be reminded of my lola. As for Isaac, I called immediately and explained to him my frustration and he was very empathetic and refunded the whole order.. which was a surprise because I was only expecting to be refunded for the adobo. So, Isaac, thank you for being a good manager. Sorry, for cursing (not at you but at the issue). But you’re welcome to say it to the owner or chef on my behalf. Anyway, that’s what customer service is all about. Unfortunately, I will not ever order from this place again. Renee’s on Roosevelt is much better - both the food (nostalgic) and the service. Isaac should work there instead.

Ordered the grilled tuna collar, baboy sinigang, and ginataang kalabasa/okra. The tuna collar was grilled perfectly, and comes with a vinegar dip (I thought it would be a sweeter dish). The sinigang was a bit sour, could definitely taste the tamarind! Although I wish it was pork ribs with bone in. The ginitaang kalabasa was not too coconut milky. There was a party being set up and a huge lechon prepared! The aunties working there were very nice, and looked so fun with karaoke already starting.

Passing by to stop at Renee’s Kitchenette and noticed Tito Rad’s. Never been so I decided to try a new spot. I should’ve went with more people so I could order more food, but we went with “basics” - tapsilog, tocilog, and longsilog. I didn’t even get to order lechon! Anyway, I got ukoy to try as an appetizer, and ginataang langka (never tried this before but I know I like jack fruit) and ginataang calabasa. I like the calabasa. I ordered it with garlic fried rice to eat. The ginataang langka was … different. I’ll stick to it being a fruit that belongs in dessert or turon. The tapa was sweet, which I wasn’t a fan of but really, it’s your preference. Everything else was good. The hot calamansi was so warm in my stomach. It felt nice. The halo halo was good too. Big portion in a big bowl so I’m not struggling to eat it from a drinking cup. The ukoy was different for me too. I don’t like bean sprouts but this was fried and it wasn’t bad. Bonus: the waitress told me their ube ice cream is home made. Overall, I would revisit with a larger group. I would advise calling to make a reservation. I waited an hour to be seated. The staff was extremely kind though. They did check on us from time to time while waiting and updated us when our table would be ready. Very family-oriented.

Rude waitress during lunch! Food is usually great during dinner, but my recent lunch visits have been disappointing. The crispy pata wasn’t as tender, the tuna panga was overcooked, and the bistek was just average — maybe there’s a different chef during lunchtime? What really ruined the experience, though, was the service. There were only three parties dining in, yet the waitress made it seem like serving us was such a burden. When it came time to pay, she never brought the bill, so I went up to the cashier’s area myself. As I stood there waiting, two new customers walked in — and she completely ignored me, went straight to seat them, and left me standing there awkwardly. Totally unnecessary attitude, especially when the place wasn’t even busy.

My Filipina wife and I have eaten Filipino food all over the world. Philippines, USA, Europe, etc. Until today I had never known bad Filipino food or service. Everyone at our table noticed the person taking our order appeared impatient and unhappy. Reading through the reviews later we could see this was a common complaint. As for the food, the sizzling pork Sisig had so much pepper it was barely edible and the Kare Kare which is peanut based and should be slightly sweet had an excessive amount of salt to the point the peanut flavor was lost. Each dish was tasted by other Filipinos in our party and everyone had the same reaction to the food and felt the same about the service. I let the waitress know about the excessive salt and pepper and pointed out all the black pepper on the sisig. She looked and acknowledged and walked away, doing nothing. At the end of our meal someone who appeared to be the owner approached our table and asked us how everything went. We complained...again, and she simply thanked us for the input and said she would share that feedback with the chef so he could do better. No discount or removal of charges for ruined food. The owner/staff are apparently unable to discern that Excessive salt and pepper = ruined food. We were not making culinary suggestions to enhance flavor, we were stating that our meals had been ruined. There are a ton of great Filipino restaurants in Queens, read reviews carefully, sort by newest, don't use the default "recommended sort" and steer clear of establishments with repeating negative comments like this one.

My family has been coming here for a while because we live in the area. I do love their food but today their service was horrible. They were rude because we did a walk-in and did not have a reservation. I understand they were busy, however they did not have to treat us disrespectfully. I will never come back again. They need to re-check their staff. Clearly they care more about foreigners than fellow Filipinos. We didn't even bother eating there anymore so we left after a long wait.
