"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."

"You will NOT find a late night filipino spot in Vegas except for this one. There is a guard at the door, big and ominous but friendly as ever. He will not only check your ID but he will also let you know to keep your mask on unless you are eating/drinking. He 's the one to see you in and he 'll be the last one to see you out of the establishment at closing or when you 're just outside the door waiting for your uber to take you back across town. I absolutely did NOT ever care for sisig until I had theirs. I came to Kapuso for the first time on October 28, 2020 with some friends who 'd become regulars here. They insisted that their sisig was amazing and that I had to try it. I did and since then I 've been hooked to their lechon sisig. It is the one thing that I always want to order when I come here. The other thing that I always enjoy is their lumpia. I tend to squeeze lemon onto my sisig and have that with some steamed rice and go to town and feast on the good stuff. It really is so good. You have to try it for yourself to know. Service is always the friendliest. There is ample parking and it 's free. There is no cover charge. On Wednesday and Thursday nights there is a DJ, 2 actually. You have DJ Reckless and DJ A Ron spinning. They are quite a pair of characters. They are fun and definitely entertaining. If you ever have a chance to check it out, I hope you will give this spot a chance. It is a family run business and they definitely appreciate their patrons. They do a dang good job and this spot has come to feel like home for me. It 's a safe place and everyone here is so friendly. I have had the opportunity to help a friend set up for her birthday here as well. The staff were so sweet to let them decorate as they wanted. Some of the staff even helped out for no additional fees or charge. They also helped her set up a cake and gift table. They were so sweet. This is just another way that you know that this is a family run business. They aren 't out to rip you off. They understand and they really appreciate their customers, DJ 's shouting out thanks to their customers as well as the military patrons that support their restaurant. Those small things may be small but they make it a very special spot."
