    Filipino style flavored smoked-Tri-tip goes well with their Sawsawan sauce. Mama Leah's Coconut Beef hints the taste of "Latik", a fully cooked coconut milk. Cornbread Bibingka is a fitting desert.

    The celebrated tri-tip is carefully flavored with an in-house pepper and pink Himalayan salt blend and served with horseradish crema and a special vinegar soy sauce. Read more

    They serve a fusion of Filipino and southern barbecue. The cornbread bibinka is definitely worth the hype and truly is the best thing they serve here.

    Amazing flavors. Get the beef coconut curry and corn bread. You’ll never taste anything else like it. The beef itself is not great but the curry is amazing. Also get the ube flan!

    the beef is seasoned just right for my taste😍 i should have gotten the pork ribs instead of the cocobeef. The shortrib & tritip is very tender👍🏻 but i think, it was a lil' dry✌🏽️

    The wait can be a bit long due to the exposure from the Food Network, but it's worth it. The Tri-Tip and Cornbread do not disappoint. The Coconut Beef on rice is delicious. The staff is very kind too.

    Neighborhood gem for Filipino BBQ and craft beer. Everything's good, but I never skip the coconut beef and cornbread bibingka.

    The Tri-Tip & Coconut Beef were good! Everything else - not so much. The chicken was dry and the ribs were overcooked on the outside and undercooked on the inside.

    Too bad, they stop the orders for TOGO! This is bad that they are loosing money after the show is aired from Diners, drive, and Dive! They could have had more money dine in , plus, dine at home.
