Elevated home-style Filipino food off Rainer Ave in south Seattle. Definitely requires a reservation - they book up quickly so make your reservation well in advance… Drinks are amazing and fresh - menu rotates often, so there’s always something new to try. Same with the dinner menu: Beef Kare Kare is incredible. So is the Buttermilk Fried Chicken. (If you have a shellfish allergy, be sure to tell your server - quite a few dishes have shrimp or shrimp sauce/paste. The kitchen is very accommodating.) 💵 The bill includes a service charge (tip) in it already, regardless of party size, so be aware of that when the check arrives. Any tipping on top of that is extra.
Great modern twist to Filipino food. Grilled bigingka was delicious and goes well with all the dishes. Recommend to order to share because there is a lot of good dishes on the menu.
Visiting Seattle with the family. This time around had to bring my family to try the modern Filipino food by James Beard nominee chef. Wish I would have brought our friends so we can order more in the menu. Since there are only three of us- we were limited on how much we can order since our flight back to vegas is later in the Evening. For starters, we ordered Lumpiang Shanghai and daing na talaba. My son enjoyed the eggroll. The oyster dish was delicious and flavorful. For our main entree I had to get the short rib Kare Kare and sisig. Both were so good. The Kare Kare didn't need extra bagoong (shrimp paste)- perfect with the garlic rice. Both dishes were so big that we had leftovers we brought in the plane and able to finish off for breakfast. We made room to try the tkocolate pandan cake. It was moist and flavorful. Can't wait to try the chefs collaboration with Filipino chefs this coming February in Vegas. Supporting Filipino chefs with their endeavors and pushing Filipino to American dining scene. Yes it's not your grandmother's cooking but modernizing it is great.
My wife and I stayed downtown, and despite the long cab ride, we decided to check it out. It was well worth the trip. The short rib kare kare was incredible and was a very generous portion. The corn bibingka for dessert was a pleasant surprise as well. The texture was extraordinary, and the salt and honey made it very moreish.
