We got 2 pork skewers and 2 chicken skewers. $3.50 each, cash only. Wow, the skewers were huge. Never had skewers so large. There were 3 of us eating, and 4 skewers were the perfect amount. The meat had a great sweet sauce on it, the meat was slightly charred but not burned. It wasn't as tender as I've had it in other places, but still pretty good. Service was good too, people were friendly and fast. Looks like they had a ton of other good looking food I didn't get to try. Hope to be back.

The pork and chicken bbq sticks are bomb! The regular Filipino food is just ok but I typically come Here for the pork and chicken bbq the flavor marinade is just so good and consistent. Make sure to bring cash since it's cash only. Parking sucks but it's Daly City so it's to be expected. $3.5 for a pork or chicken bbq stick and typically expect a line.

If you are missing the Filipino style barbecue, you've come to the right place. The size is bigger and the taste is on point. I like the chicken better than the pork. All transactions are for take away only, they've no area for dine in. Bring cash as they don't accept credit cards.

The fact that you know immediately when you walk in that the food is going to be amazing, authentic, and made with love. This spot has been my go to for get togethers with big groups or meals with friends. They are the best for any occasion. You have to try the bbq pork and chicken on a stick. The meat is so flavorful and juicy best described like eating at a barbecue. Also love the pancit and Shanghai lumpia, which are the perfect appetizers. My family has been impressed every time we have a get together and I can't recommend their catering enough. Make sure you order in advance.

Still the best chicken kebobs in the Bay Area. I don't live near but when I'm in fog town I make sure to swing by and get their grilled chicken kebob plate. You get two skewers and rice for about $11 out the door. The quality hasn't changed and the flavor is unbeatable. They don't skimp on the sauce and portions. Definitely worth every cent.

This is one of my favorite places to get affordable Filipino food! My favorite is the chicken skewer with pancit. The chicken skewer is always fresh as you can see them grilling up the food right in front of you. It's also a steal for $3.50 to get a meaty skewer. Their lumpia is also an affordable snack option. They're currently selling 10 mini lumpia's for $4. If you're throwing a party, you can order ahead of time and go towards the cash register on the day of pick up to skip the line of people ordering food. Parking can be difficult but there are usually one or two spots available.

Amazing people, always helping with a smile no matter how long the line gets. Best believe that line gets long. They are fast! The food is always the best. This hold a special place in my heart. Been coming here for 15 years and nothing has changed. The combos are always priced to sell. There's no indoor seating. Cash only and come early. If you try calling on a Sunday or before a major holiday, good luck. That phone will stay ringing. This is a gem in Daly City and if you've never been, stop by. It's only a mini detour from the city.

I can only comment on the skewers as that's all I've ever had here...and their skewers are bomb! Both the chicken and pork are grilled and seasoned perfectly. I've called to order ahead as to avoid potential long lines. I think I like the pork slightly more than the chicken, but seriously both are great. They due dark meat chicken (truly the only real option y'all). Oh man, add them with a side of rice. *chef's kiss*

This is my people's food, stick to ordering the pancit, and make sure to ask the less burnt barbeque because it can change your taste. I've tried the chicken afritada, I was a bit disappointed because it was on the sweet side which I don't remember tasting like that growing up. I'm actually scared of trying other dishes because they might be all sweeter. The should be a 2 star review but I was impressed at the young man that was working there that stopped serving the pork barbeque because it was too charred and offered chicken instead, he had integrity and honesty. Cleanliness is definitely observed regardless of how closed the workers are to each other.

I just spent $17 on a delicious meal that could have easily fed two people. That's a hard find in the Bay Area and deserves major love/attention. I ordered Shanghai lumpia, garlic rice with BBQ chicken and pork skewers, and one turon to-go. The drive home to South Bay was torturous, as the delicious aroma of garlic and fire-grilled meat filled my car and had me drooling. The turon didn't make it home. Desert for an appetizer; the perks of being an adult. ;) When I opened the entree container, I realized there was A LOT of food. I enjoyed it for lunch and dinner. The rice was very fragrant and delicious. The BBQ pork used belly parts and had a lovely chunk of fat. Yummy. The chicken was very tender and tasty. There is nothing that could have made this meal better 5/5. The lumpia was delicious, as well. It was still crispy when I got home. It was so good it didn't even need the included sauce. 4/5 The people working there were very friendly. I'm sure they would have explained some of the other available dishes (there were no labels), but I didn't want to hold up the line. Well, I'm going to be on a diet for the next few days, but I will definitely be back and encourage you all to go to visit this gem.
