"Alright, so my family and I have been coming here from the start and well, a lot has changed. Firstly, yay for a vegan restaurant on this side of town!! It's pretty scarce over here and as vegans we'd rather support vegan only restaurants so we were thrilled when this place opened. It started off great, very consistent food with only a few changes such as adding capers to the el Caesar which made it too salty for me, but I dealt). We were regular customers. A change they implemented was having to pay using a link after calling in an order. This lost some of our business because as a stay at home mom with 2 littles, sometimes we were out and I'd need dinner so I'd order as we were about to head home, but having to pay on my phone was just not feasible while driving. Next, they stopped taking cash. That lost some business too. Regardless, we were still eating there probably once a week sometimes more sometimes less. We favored the matcha mushy which is gone now..the other mushies were too sweet for my liking but my husband liked them a little but they got rid of all of them), the mac n cheese which is not the same, I don’t care what they claim, its not. Noodles are overcooked, its watery, and just not the same), the fries sooo good; both) and the Greek mushroom mama burger which is gone now). The new smash burger is a pleasant upgrade of the old chaga mac. That IS good! We weren't a fan of the tacos. However, the salads kaffir kale and el ceasar) were really the driving force for us choosing chagaroot for dinner. Those salads were my reward and treat at nightime after putting the kids to sleep. They changed both of those salads and its such a bummer because until them I never found a place that had GOOD salads and good portioned salads for the price! I'm really sad about this. They were sooooo good!! Unfortunately, the revised versions are not my cup of tea. The kale salad had like 3 peices of kale when I got it and didn't know it changed. So with all the changes we are definitely not going to eat here much if at all anymore. : Idk whats going on, but hopefully they stay consistent so they don't lose their new customers too. Oh and the red haired employee is a keeper. Same with Maria!"

"Since I was in town, I decided to come here with my husband and my friend who lives in Vegas. I've had this place bookmarked because of their Flaming Halo Halo. Nonethless, I was craving sinigang after a long night out, so I was banking on Full House to do the job. We arrived around 1:15 pm on a Sunday thinking we'd be bypassing the lunch rush but we were wrong. There wasn't anyone in front of us in line, but we did not get seated until 2:25 pm. We were a party of 3. I was starving, so I was a bit restless. I even had to walk out to walk around to a nearby Japanese mart just to keep myself busy and distracted from being so hungry. I think the thing with Filipino food is that it takes quite some time to cook but not only that, a lot of Filipinos families like to just catch up and chit chat even when their done with their meals, so that also adds into the time. I almost felt like they were short staffed, but it honestly could've been just a smaller kitchen space. Not too sure, just don't come here hungry on the weekends. Luckily, I already knew what we wanted to order right away, so we got our order going. The food didn't take super long, thank goodness. We started off with the Beef Shank Sinigang. Loved how sour the soup was, however, I feel like the big bone is nice for show and everything but can also be messy being in positioned in such a small soup pot. The meat was tender. There were lots of cartilage and tendon (which I love), so that's a plus. Next up, the Longonisa and Tocino were delicious. The Longonisa was the sweet, and the Tocino was less fatty than it normally is. The Truffle Lechon Fries were very gluttinous. The crispy lechon pieces were great, however, I don't know where the truffle comes into play. I think there were a lot of flavors going on, but still enjoyable. The Oxtail Adobo Fried Rice would be hard to mess up. Flavorful and good to even eat by itself. The sisig was nice and sizzling! Tasty and delicious with a lemon spritz. Got to enjoy some nice crispy bits, as well. To end off our late lunch, we had to order the infamous Flaming Halo Halo. The presentation was beautiful, and loved the fire flare. What sets this halo halo apart from other spots is that they add corn and cantaloupe. Not sure if we were much fans of those additions. On the other hand, we did enjoy the flan, the nata de coco (my absolute fave), the ube ice cream, and the crispy pandan rice bits. My husband had also ordered the Calamansi Juice, but the juice was too sweet for us. I'd probably come back to try other items, but preferably not during a busy time. The interior was a bit confusing. There was a vase full of bullets, a horse statue, and lots of wooden boxes. I guess its supposed to be reminiscen of the countryside or ranch living of the Philippines. The service was decent, but could be better. They were friendly though. Not recommended for big parties, most tables are best for 2 4 people. However, there was a party of 8 that I did see during my visit. There is lots of free parking in the plaza."
