I drove by this place so many times. Today, I decided to give it a try. It was a great decision because the Grilled Chicken Leg with Garlic Rice was SOOO GOOOOOOD!! The portion of the 1/4 chicken leg with thigh was HUGE and they gave generous amount of rice sprinkled with generous amount of finely chopped fried garlic (which I love!!)... and... they gave a fresh calamansi with the order (I LOOOOVE CALAMANSI!) The place was tidy, clean and well maintained! It was pleasant to be there! No funky smell at all! People were in and out all the time, especially weekends when they are busy (according to one of the customers that were just leaving) and he said the other dishes from this place were good as well! Parking lot is small and shared with other businesses. Plenty of options for young kids. Service was nice and went on smoothly. The girl who took my order and payment was friendly and professional. Highly recommended to other foodies! So... all those deserve 7 stars!!!

Driving along Sherman Way in the Valley i saw this restaurant. I have to make a stop and see if they come close to the Bacolod Chicken BBQ. I went in and ordered the famous Chicken Inasal BBQ from Bacolod City Philippines. I was blown away how authentic the flavor of the chicken. It was freshly made juicy tender and flavorful just like how they did it in Bacolod City. The chicken portion is big and it is filling compared to other chicken chains which give you tiny portion. Paired with Garlic Rice and Chicken Oil sauce its a winner winner chicken dinner!!!! The owner since it was close to closing time gave me free Chicken and Garlic Rice which im gonna enjoy to go. Thank You and i will be back to try their Bacolod Delicacies like the Siopao Batchoy Pork BBQ Lumpia Pansit Breakfast Pastries and many more.

Amazing Filipino spot in the valley. The Batchoy is a must have if you're craving a noodles soup. The people there are also very nice and accommodating. Will definitely come here again.

As a filipino I'm always looking for good filipino resturant that can cook like my mom and my grandma. I seek the assistance of yelp that can guide me. I found that place. Look thru pics and other reviews. So I called on a fellow yelper to adventure with me. The parking situation was not that great. But I'm not here to complain about the parking I came here to eat good filipino food. As I walked inside there are paintings and history of the Restaurant. The cashier/greeter welcome us as we were family. We look over the menu and there were plenty of offerings. I was going back and forth to Insal Chicken or the Tapsilog. U know what I ordered both lol. The chicken insal had good flavor. You can tell it was done right. The tapsilog had great flavors as well. Well marinated, the meat was not over or under cooked. It came with garlic fried rice and of course the over easy egg. We were both happy at the end of the meal. Definitely a must go back.

I finally gave this place a try today. I waited some months to avoid the long lines from when they first opened last year. I tried speaking Tagalog to the young lady running their register, but had to quickly switch to English when she couldn't understand me. She was friendly and courteous though, and quickly took my order of one Paa Combo (chicken leg quarter) one pork BBQ skewer, and a soda. My total came to $19.50 + $1.85 tax and $0.78 credit card service charge. You order and pay at the register, then have a seat. The place looked clean and inviting. They provide plastic gloves for customers that want to eat chicken with their hands. My food took about ten minutes to prepare and deliver to my table. The chicken was accompanied by small containers of chicken oil, atchara (pickled green papaya), and with a hot pepper and lemon slice. I made my sauce the way I see most people do it... I cut up the pepper with my utensils, put it in the container, added a squeeze of lemon, then some vinegar and soy sauce from the condiment tray on the table. Then I drizzled the chicken oil over the rice, and finally I tucked into my meal. The chicken had nice crispy skin and was not dried out. It had a good taste, but to me, it's not complete without a little sauce for it. The atchara was delicious, and was a good accompaniment for the rice and chicken. Pork BBQ was likewise very tasty, without any big chunks of pork fat like you would see at some other places. It's difficult for me to give a rating for the food here. I just returned from the Philippines a few weeks ago, where I tried Mang Inasal and JT's Manukan for the first time, and I can't help but compare this place to those two. Chicken in the U.S. seems to have more meat, but the chicken in the Philippines seems to be more flavorful. That being said, I prefer Mang Inasal or JT's over the chicken here. Mang Inasal was 8.4/10 for me, while JT's was 8.8/10. So I would probably have to give the food here a score of 7.8/10.

Since I moved to the U.S. three years ago, it has been my mission to find the best-tasting chicken inasal in LA. It took me three years, but I finally found the spot! As a true-blue Bacolodnon, I have to say this is, by far, the most authentic chicken inasal you can get in LA. Since discovering it, I've been ordering once a week. My coworkers got hooked, and even my American family loves it. Their pork BBQ is also delicious--the meat is tender and flavorful!

The food was delicious!! I grew up in the Philippines up until I was 7 so the taste was a super nostalgic. Not only that but the juiciness, the flavor and the texture of the chicken is perfect. The service here is amazing! I highly recommend if you're craving chicken inasal!

Visiting from the East Coast, we have very limited, authentic food such as Bacolod chicken inasal. As a native of Bacolod, this restaurant is as authentic as it can get. Traditional inasal is marinated in vinegar and spices without the use of soy sauce. Yes, it can be a bit bland, but that's why you have to make a dip using soy sauce, sinamak ( spiced coconut vinegar), calamansi, and chili and pair it with garlic rice. Then it's heaven on earth. Of note, chicken breast will always be drier, so opt for the dark meat instead. Grilled bangus and inihaw pork belly are just as good. Now, the pork BBQ skewers are authentically made... the same taste that I grew up eating back home. It was unbelievably juicy, thinly sliced pork that I couldn't get enough of, reminiscent of high school and college days cheap eats... LCC, Riverside days? IYKYK. This place is legit, especially if you're from Bacolod City... and if you miss a piece of home, come here, eat here, and enjoy the typical Bacolodnon hospitality... and thank me later! I'd move here from Connecticut just for the food itself! 5 stars all the way!! Service was great and it has a homey ambiance. I can't wait to go back.

Amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here. We had the bbq chicken, siopao bun, bangus steak, fish, and pancit--it was all yummy! I recommend them. The staff is warm and friendly and the restaurant is clean and cozy. If you're looking for authentic Filipino food this is your place!

I always enjoy this place as the food is delicious and will you satisfied. Their pork BBQ Per Stick which is Grilled pork BBQ skewers, marinated in a sweet and savory sauce is mouth watering satisfying. The Bangus Steak Grilled milkfish topped with caramelized onions, served with a side of pickled vegetables is also a dish that will make your tastebuds dance. They have a variety of other options but these are my top two. Service is great as the staff will answer and help you with any of your questions. Parking is in their lot.
