"As a Filipina who has been living in the United States for five years, I recently had my first experience at Max in the U.S. and it truly reminded me of home. There were a few areas that could use improvement; for instance, the soup should be served piping hot, as mine arrived lukewarm. Additionally, it would be better to serve the dishes all at once rather than one by one, especially for smaller tables. I had a reservation around 7 PM, but I was disappointed to find that they had run out of a few items I was looking forward to since I drove all the way from Westchester. Despite these setbacks, my overall experience was good. The service was attentive and the staff were courteous."

"I was nearby, wanted some great Filipino food found a spot. A lot of space and a lot of items to choose from.I ordered their kare kare with crunchy pata, garlic rice, pancit, palabok and calamari. The kare kare with crunchy pata was ridiculously good. The crispy skin was just right and seasoned perfectly. The kare kare was on point and the pancit was also good. The palabok wasn’t my favorite but it wasn’t that bad and the calamari was perfect.Solid customer service, I’d definitely come back here again and try their other menu options."

"I've visited Tropical Hut a few times recently, and each visit has been delightful. On November 26, I stopped by for their special Christmas glazed ham to take out, along with Pancit Palabok and some of my favorite Magnolia Ube Queso ice cream. It was a quick and enjoyable stop, and I was thrilled to get some Lumpiang Sariwa as well — I wish they offered it every week! During this visit, I also picked up some tubes of Magnolia avocado and mango ice cream. I appreciate that the owner and staff are attentive; when one employee asked me about items in my shopping basket, I assured her that I was using the provided basket and hadn’t put any unpaid items in my bags. She checked, and there was no issue at all. Overall, my experiences have been nothing but pleasant. The atmosphere is nice, the food is fantastic, and the people are friendly. On October 14, I enjoyed some delicious desserts, and on October 7, I found that while some imported items like ice cream from the Philippines can be pricey, it’s absolutely worth it when it comes to Filipino flavors. If you love the food, the slightly higher prices for certain items shouldn't deter you — the quality makes it worthwhile. On my visit at the end of September, I rated them five stars for their reliable selection of prepared Filipino dishes. I highly recommend trying Tropical Hut for a taste of home!"

"Place was pretty good for the type of fare we got at this place. I was with several people so we got the platters (47.00 ea). For the crispy platter the highlight was the crispy pata (fried pork knuckles). Meat was tender and moist from the melted collagen. The rest were the usual deep fried staples. Lechon kawaii (pork belly) was firm and crisp. The fried chicken was kind of dry bit still ok. The BBQ platter was in general pretty good. They were all shared the sweet sugar seasoning and grilled to have some caramelized surfaces on the meat, but not enough to be burnt. We ordered the sinigang na hipon (14.99) (vinegar soup with shrimp). It was perfect for cleansing our palate after eating the sticky and rich platters. Shrimp was boiled just right, as we as the veg. This I would suggest getting. Pancit canton (12.00) was excellent, the best I ever had. It had wok hei and was not soggy like most pancit canton I had. I believe the gravy that usually accompanies this dish was fried in during cooking. Exceptional. The pork sisig (12.99) was fine. I had a few things to pick about it. There was no or little black pepper present; it did plenty of red and green peppers on the plus side. They could dial down on the vinegar too. The most important that this restaurant And most other do is to cook then ingredients more to make the collagen in the ears to dissolve the recipe into a sticky gelatinous mess. Cooking these items took a while. I say about 30 min for the amount of food we had. We tries taking items to go before the closing time of 8 pm on Monday, but the say they could do them even halo halo. Disappointing. In short the sinigang and the pancit canton are must haves. Crispy pata is great too. Just the service was kind of lacking."

"We first visited this place during the pandemic (Fall 2020) and were blown away by the quality and portion sizes of the food. We've tried almost every platter (which is ideal for 2-3 people who can't decide) on our visits, and we've never been let down. Don’t be misled by the prices; you receive an abundance of delicious food, making it worth every cent. Personally, I'm obsessed with the fried siaobao—I could devour several in one sitting. They have the perfect texture and the pork filling is absolutely fantastic. If I could, I would give this place more than five stars, but unfortunately, I can't. So I’m reluctantly giving Pinoy Grill a five-star rating, even though it truly deserves more. Also, keep in mind that the food takes a little while to arrive since they make everything to order, so make yourself comfortable and be patient for some incredible food."

"This is by far the worst Filipino restaurant I've ever visited. To start, the food is just okay—not great. I would rate it 2 to 3 stars; it's edible when you're really hungry, but that's about it. The customer service is terrible. They require a minimum purchase of $15 if you're paying with a card, which feels quite unprofessional. Additionally, they try to charge you for everything extra. If you choose to eat here, make sure to pay attention to what you're being charged for, as they may add fees that should already be included with your meal. I won’t be returning, so best of luck to you."

"First and foremost, I want to commend the kindness of the staff. Dining here feels like being at the home of a friend or family member. When it comes to the food, I always approach a new restaurant with a bit of skepticism about how my experience will turn out. I often opt for a classic dish or something I particularly enjoy as a way to gauge my overall impression of the place. After much consideration, I decided to try the Caldareta (one of my favorites). I can be quite particular about how I like it, but I decided to take the plunge! The Caldareta that arrived was quite different from what I'm accustomed to, but not in a bad way. In fact, I appreciated the chef's personal touch. It featured flavors that I had never encountered before, but they were a delightful surprise. It was a refreshing twist on a dish that I usually order often. As for the desserts… words truly can’t capture how incredible they were! They were so memorable that I'm still thinking about them days later! I will definitely be back, as there are still so many other items on the menu that I want to try!"

"Barrio Fiesta really raises the bar when it comes to authentic Filipino cuisine, offering dishes that rival some of the best in terms of quality and service. The flavors are reminiscent of Ongpin and Binondo in Manila. The Beef Mami, Tokwa't Baboy, Savory Chicken, and Taho (Soft Tofu Dessert) were absolutely perfect and brought back wonderful childhood memories with my family. I can only imagine how great their Pancit Canton, Pancit Sotanghon, Goto-Lugaw, Arrozcaldo, and Beef Pares will taste!"

"I wanted to grab some food after work and was in the mood for something new. I had passed by Toppings Too before when going to the old coffee shop. The interior is very small maybe sitting 6 or 7 different parties. I ordered the Adobo Chicken with Java Rice for takeout. The food was prepared in less than 20 minutes. The male cashier was very polite and quickly took care of me as I entered the restaurant. The food was very hot and delicious! He warned me to be careful not to spill the sauce. They accommodated my to go order by separating the chicken from the rice with some foil. I was very impressed with the flavor and scarfed most of the dish down quickly after receiving it. The price wasn't bad for the portion and quality of food! I will definitely come back to try some different dishes."

"I came for the lumpia, but I will definitely keep coming back for the ube panna cotta! It was the highlight of our meal. The lumpia was perfectly crisp with a light, delicate wrapper, and I appreciated the filling of pork and shrimp. It's a great appetizer to share among 2 to 4 people. The chicken adobo was tasty, served in a rich, thick sauce that I really enjoyed. However, the chicken pieces were cut oddly, making it difficult to avoid getting bone fragments in each bite. It paired wonderfully with the garlic rice. The pancit sitanghon was delicious, loaded with fresh, crunchy vegetables. Make sure not to miss dessert—it was fantastic! The prices were reasonable for two entrées, two sodas, an appetizer, and dessert. They also offer freshly baked pan de sal and jars of garlic sardines to take home. Our server, Lot, was very sweet, and other staff members stopped by to check on us throughout our meal. The warm and inviting Filipino hospitality was definitely evident here. Thank you, Hong Ning!"

"I am a regular customer here, almost every week I come here and I am just very disappointed with their horrible service.I am asking for a reservation at least once because we have a very important event and just wanted to have a great experience and they will never accommodate you. I just think if you have a regular customer you need to learn how to take care of them so they would keep coming back and to keep them.Also the waiters don’t even speak English, every time we need something the waiters do not understand and we have to come to the front to ask for service. They also ask for 20% tip even tho the service is bad.Overall the food is great. Could be a little overprice but the service is awful."

I recommend this place not only for eating, but also for the hospitality."

"We decided to try The Game for football Sunday given they advertised having many TV 's. What is great is that they put the game you want to watch on the TV by your table so no worries on if you will be able to see your chosen game. For drinks, we got the shareable drink called Blood of the Kapu Tiki, Tiki Objects, Bosky Hrnjak. It was a good balance of juice and alcohol, and can serve 2-3 people. If your party is larger you will need more of the shareables. For food, we got mild wings, plain wings, spam sliders, pork belly nachos, chicken and buttermilk waffles, and shrimp lumpia. I would definitely recommend the spam sliders, and would love if the pork belly could be sold separately (maybe they do but we didn 't see that as a menu option). If you are looking for a more laidback vibe I definitely recommend this place. There is a bit of wait for food/drinks to come out, so if you are in a rush then this might not be the place for you."
