Great food, home like atmosphere, friendly staffs, clean, as a seasonal food hunter, this is the place to go. The crispy pork is called flaming pork in China and Spain, huge portion for $26, crispy skin, tender meat. They even give us extra homemade shrimp sauce, goes well with everything.

If you are looking for an AUTHENTIC and NON-FUSION Filipino cuisine, this is the BEST place to go. My husband and I grew up eating Filipino food, so we know the meaning of authenticity when it comes to the taste of the Philippines. We are not picky, but we critique our food very seriously. One of the aspects of a restaurant we also look at is the price of the food and if it is worth it, depending on the taste and the serving size. Here, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR, maybe even more. We also noticed that the food here DOES NOT have MSG because we both noticed that we didn't feel bogged down or bloated, and we did not have a headache after all of the food we ate. What you taste is simply great cooking and freshness! If you want to see more details about what we think about the restaurant, the servers, and the food, keep reading because we will let you in on the conversation that my husband and I had... RESTAURANT: Extremely clean and NO musky odor, including the bathrooms; air conditioning system works; karaoke system is always on, so you can jam out anytime; 12 tables and 6 chairs each, so the place sits a lot of people SERVERS: Speak English and Tagalog; extremely kind, friendly, and hospitable; they ensure that you know that they are aware that you entered through the door, so that you're not waiting and wondering what to do next FOOD: Well-thought-out. All of the dishes tasted perfectly (meaning not too salty or overly seasoned). Every single food that we ordered offered a variety of flavor and all of them hit the spot. The sauces that come with the food compliments the dish tremendously. Here are some of what we ordered: Inihaw na pusit (grilled squid), sizzling bangus (milkfish), kare-kare (peanut-based vegetable and pork dish), halo-halo (filipino dessert), sago't gulaman (sweet iced drink with boba, grass jelly, and other sweet toppings), water, ube boba, fish balls, white rice (street food). FOOD SPOTLIGHT: Again, all of the food tasted wonderful and the best among the Filipino restaurants that I have been to in Florida. Here are just some spotlights because these are the ones that I do not normally see either on the menu or properly made: Inihaw na pusit (grilled squid) - first time that I saw this in a Florida Filipino restaurant. It's a dish that I have been looking for because this is what I always order when I go to the Philippines. You can taste the smoky, charred, savory flavor of the grilled squid. The sauce completes the flavor with a hint of salty and sour taste that keeps you craving for more. Halo-halo - is a Filipino dessert, in which some restaurants put too much crushed ice or too much sugar or not enough toppings. Zeny's Filipino Cuisine makes their halo-halo perfectly, making sure that the amount of toppings and ice are well-balanced. It seemed to have sweet beans, coconut jelly, shredded grass jelly, pinipig, what seemed like vanilla bingsu as the crushed ice, langka, shredded baby coconut (which was very soft and fluffy), and evaporated milk topped with ube ice cream, leche flan, and vanilla ice cream. If and when you go, I hope you encounter the same experience that we had :)

Can’t recommend this place enough!!! Me and my parents went out for a walk at the park next to this place. Originally we didn’t plan to eat out tonight but Filipino food sounds good atm,it was a bit chilly and I know sinigang I just perfect for the night and I didn’t realize that the restaurant my friend recommended is just next door. We checked it out and was greeted by warm employee that sat us down. When we looked at the menu we’re impressed by the items listed. So many to choose from and most of it you won’t find in a typical Filipino restaurant here in Kissimmee/orlando area. I got so excited and wanted to try everything. The light dinner turned into a feast we ordered bangus belly sinigang,grilled pusit,pinapaitan(my mom’s favorite) and fresh lumpia. When the food came we’re surprised by how big their portions are. And the presentation is also great. Taste fresh and good. Not to mention the ambience is refreshing and modern with a touch of Filipino still, we enjoyed the music also. Everything was great. But most importantly we’re impressed by the hospitality not just the staff but the owners as well. Very personable people,they made sure to greet each table and asked for live feedbacks which is a nice touch, we’ve never experienced that from any restaurant we’ve been to. They show true Filipino hospitality, we personally get to know them,simple dine out turned into a very personal experience. We’re definitely coming back with the rest of the family. 🙂 we cannot wait to come back. Thank you Ate Zeny, Kuya Aldrin and the rest of the staff.
