Yummy Filipino Comfort Food. Their Noodles and Island Rice Plate are popular items. I was unsure about paying $26 for a rice plate. It turned out great with a variety of ingredients on the plate. On the pricier side, but great quality. Nice service. Hot tea $4. Mandatory 20% service charge. Parking at nearby public parking lot $1 for 2 hours.
