📍 Local Insights

🍽 Huge Portions: Many reviewers note the servings are large enough to share or to have leftovers for multiple meals, especially the rice servings.

🕔 Early Closing Times: The restaurant closes between 5-6 PM, so plan visits accordingly to avoid last-minute turnaways.

🛒 Grocery Store Setting: Dining is modest as it’s located inside a Filipino grocery, making it convenient to shop for authentic ingredients and snacks while visiting.
