This Filipino bakery also offers delicious food and has seating downstairs and upstairs where you will find the all you can eat buffet for about $8. Sodas are included that you pour yourself from plastic pitchers. The variety of dishes offered changes daily. Flat screen televisions broadcast ABS-CBN Filipino shows. This is one place that has great rice congee like "arroz caldo" which is made with chicken. It's good with "tokwa't baboy" which is vinegared pork ears and fried tofu.
Pleasant staff.

This restaurant is quite noticeable from the outside with it's large windows. This place is a "turo turo" like many of the Filipino restaurants and offers a variety of dishes that you can have with a side of rice. I had the paksiw na lechon (stewed roast pork) and pinakbet (stewed pumpkin, green beans and eggplant in shrimp paste) with a side of rice for about $5. Pleasant staff and clean decor with a large flat screen television broadcasting Filipino Variety shows. Lots of seating.

This restaurant is the Newark New jersey branch of the chain. It is not as glamorous looking as the West Side Avenue branch but offers the same homemade Filipino cooking. This place is a "turo turo" or "point point". A variety of Filipino dishes are in metal pans kept warm from below and you point to what you want. Prices are average for the neighborhood (about $5 for 2 dishes and a side of rice). Odd that EVERY dish offered had a chili pepper or two stuck into it for garnish. If you are allergic to peppers then beware of this place. Food was tasty but the decor is lacking.
