“ Loved the homey feel inside the store. I ordered Crispy Pata, Bopis and Sizzling Tofu for take out and Halo Halo Special to have in the store, it was a hot afternoon in Hamilton and the cold treat hits the spot. TRY the Halo Halo Special soon!!! The food taste great and highly recommended. ”
“ We ordered the grilled BBQ pork belly and grilled BBQ pork skewers meals. I would of loved if the pork skewers portion was just slightly bigger just in terms of the price of the meal. BUT your BBQ marinate is so delicious! The meat was tender and well seasoned. Was soooo yummy. Really enjoyed our dishes, just wanted a little more meat to finish my rice with. Will definitely come back and try other dishes. Even those prices are a tad expensive in terms of portions given the delicious tasting food makes up for that, still recommend this place ”
