We had the place all to ourselves when we went (no, not a bad sign for the restaurant's food, it was Wed. night when the roads were icing up everywhere!). It is run by a Philipino family. We had a good Philipino wonton soup to start with, got an appetizer sampler that had some eggrolls, a tasty doughy pastry filled with what seemed like beef, beans, and raisins, and a small salad. For the entree I had a beef stir fry, which had a tasty sauce that tasted like soy, garlic, and curry, and my girlfriend had chicken adobo, which is chicken thighs cooked in a soy and garlic type sauce. Quite good. You also get a plate of fried rice and mixed vegetables. For dessert they gave us a little sampler, which consisted of a yellow sponge-cake type cake, a small piece of a fruity tasting bean-paste type cake, and a caramel tasting sort of pie which was kind of rubbery in texture. All in all, we were quite full by the end, but very pleased with the food and the place. For Feb. and March they are having a buy one entree get the second for 1/2 off special. Check 'em out!
