First time here and, while the overall experience was positive and we'd return, there were a couple of disappointments. The good stuff is that we really liked the ambience/decor/vibe and our waiter (Bobby) was excellent. We enjoyed our lumpia appetizer, but didn't love our entrees. I've never included a bathroom in my review but will this time because it was disgusting. There are 5 private unisex bathrooms and we can confirm that at least 2 were dirty and gross. It's a nice restaurant with not inexpensive prices so having some attention on cleanliness would be good.
