  Great Filipino buffet!! Loved the crispy chicken skin and roasted pork, and on top of that, the amazing staff! This place also hosts music nights on weekends I heard. Owner is super nice and generous. You can tell his passion for the restaurant and care for customers from his handwritten menu. We will definitely come back next time we are in town!

  This place is horrible as far as customer service. They don't answer calls. I've placed an order a few months back just for them to cancel my order. I decided to try again today 'cause I'm missing my mamas cooking & craving filipino food. Unfortunately again my order was canceled through door dash. I even tried to place an order for take out through the actual restaurant itself with no luck since they don't answer calls.
  
  I'm assuming you actually have to go in person to place an order for take out or just dine in. That's a bummer for those of us who are working and don't have the time to do that.

  I will not recommend this place. Lack of supplies. Restaurant is super dark and awkward place. Its like im in a ghost town. I give the food 7 out of 10. Not good for dining in.

  I was really looking forward to loving this place. Seeing as how this is the only all you can eat Filipino buffet in stockton, it was something I was pondering for quite some time. Located in downtown, near SPD, it can be a little difficult to find parking without having to pay. There is public parking near Highway 4, however, we managed to find street parking for free. Be cautious of the street parking as the rules are enforced. As I was parking, I saw an officer ticket a car for staying in the spot for over 2 hours.
  
  Anyway, back to the story line. When I called and heard that they had lechon kawali (aka fried pork meat with skin) and pancit bihon, I immediately brought my mom and went there. Upon arrival, there was a kind lady who greeted us and informed us we could sit anywhere we wanted. The ambience is quite casual, and a little dark. They could definitely improve in their interior lighting.
  
  I got chicken adobo, steamed rice, pancit, mussels, and fried chicken. Sorry to say, the chicken adobo and chicken were both cold! It tasted like it's been there for hours, yet they're only open from 11-2 and we were there at 11:30. I'm hoping that food wasn't leftovers from the other day and they just warmed it up.
  
  Customer service is wonderful though; all the waiters and waitresses always take your leftover plate and are friendly.
  
  I would try this place again, wishfully thinking that ALL their food is warm and cooked fresh.

  used to love, love, love, this place.  food is still off the hook yummy.  however*********  the guy/owner is rude as hell, doesn't like it if you pay with cash, and will throw the change (quarters) back at you across the counter.  waitress was very nice and pleasant, cooks are off the hook bomb.  but owner/manager guy is a class a jerk.  will not be back to eat.  maybe just order out.  cause the food is bomb.  sadly no more buffet.  with original owner would take back her business.
