"I want to preface this review by saying pork sinigang is one of my absolute favorite dishes from any genre of cuisine. I?ve eaten it up and down the East coast at restaurants, canteens, and aunties? houses. In the Philippines nearly every place I went I got a bowl of sinigang na baboy. I make it at home myself on the regular. Not once have I ever seen a sinigang broth this dark before. After I got over my initial moment of shock I was excited to be trying something new. It looked like I could be in for the most insane sour unami bomb broth ever. After my first spoonful... confusion. It didn?t taste like much of anything. It wasn?t even remotely sour. But strangest of all was that the most dominant flavor I could taste was adobo. Was the darkness of the broth just from soy sauce? The meat was delicious, fatty and soft, and I really appreciated the long beans as nearly every restaurant I?ve been to in the US uses regular green beans instead. I could see myself maybe enjoying eating this dish if I had ordered an adobo ish braised pork stew but just not as the sinigang I was expecting. I?m giving 4 stars because I love supporting small businesses and I want to extend my benefit of the doubt this was my first visit and maybe this was simply a one off sinigang snafu. The pork empanadas were absolutely scrumptious. I would tentatively come back and try other dishes on the menu. There?s also no dine in service available at the moment despite what Google says."

"This establishment is now out of business. It was not run very well when it was open before the whole virus situation. They changed their menu three times. A mother and father who are wealthy physicians I was told bought the business for their daughter Rachel. I don't know if she Had any experience in the restaurant industry before. They opened I believe in July 2019. So they were not open long before everything changed. But the food really wasn't good. I went there soon after they opened and got their homemade meatballs. Three very small meatballs it tasted pretty good but overpriced for $13.50. And they change the menu at some point and then again for a third time. They tried to offer cheeseburgers chicken sandwiches cheesesteak, Along with entrées They could've had good potential I suppose. But it was never really run too well. It had three levels. They did have live music there and got complaints of it going to late into the night. If they had better management along with a better business plan and we hadn't had the whole thing with the virus maybe they could've made it if they booked in some good 70s and 80s acts to play in one of the levels possibly the third level of the restaurant. This location doesn't seem to have much luck. That used to be a nice dance club where it was located Plus one other store front. I would imagine just the cost to run this establishment taxes and other expenses is what's been keeping it not to be successful since it was built back in around 2003 I think. It'll be interesting to see who takes over the spot and what they do with it. They would definitely have to have extensive restaurant experience. Along with experience I think in booking musical acts. Plus deep deep pockets. I'm not sure what the parents who bought the restaurant for their daughter will choose to do with it, the rent would be quite high for someone who Would come in fresh"
