Salty deliciousness - Edit
I always love coming to this place as it is a order at the counter, pick up at the counter experience (note: there's no seating here).
Read moreVegan Filipino food isn't something that isn't easy to veganize but Chef reina does a good job with the sisig and lechon. The only reason I refrain from giving it 5 stars is because there seems to be less Filipino dishes now and they have been replaced with more comfort food dishes like burgers and hot dogs. Hopefully more of the traditional Filipino dishes can make their way back to the menu

Crazy Amazing! - Edit
Our family of four bought Brunch there today. All of us ordered different things and shared them around. Everything was incredible! We took the carry out Brunch down the street to a picnic table in the park in Brisbane.

Excellent friendly vegan Filipino food - Edit
Open on Sunday 10-3 pm, not 2 pm. 1st visit but definitely won't be my last! Ordered off the specials board, crispy carnitas wrap. Took suggestion to have it deep fried over grilled. Loved the crunch, flavor & was filling. Not greasy. No more fear on missing out b/c I'm vegan! This is my new vegan take out spot Thur-Sun! Very nice, considerate people. They even offered to deliver the food to the car! it takes about 20 minutes per order since it is all cooked to order. Explore the "City of Stars" to make room for your delicious food!
Read morePros: Amazing Filipino vegan food cooked to order, Easy parking, The staff is wonderful & happy to make suggestions
Cons: Only open Thursday-Sunday, Closes @ 3 pm on Sunday so plan early, A little pricey but so worth it!

Out of this world - Edit
Decided to stop by here before my flight. So happy I did. It was amazing! Everything was so fresh and delicious. I ordered Tocilog, spam musubi, and veggie lumpia. Everything was great! I especially loved the pork slices that came with the tocilog. The musubi was wonderful as well. You cannot go wrong eating here. Can’t wait to return and try more on the menu.

Vegan filipino food options - Edit
I can't say that I can say whether the food here is authentically filipino as this was my first time having this cuisine. The place itself is located in Brisbane downtown. This isn't an area that I frequent and so it did take an intentional trip for me to get here to eat. We had veggie lumpia, chick'n adobo with rice and pancit. The food was flavorful . There were so many interesting things on the menu like the ube pancakes that I would like to try .. but maybe next time. Just want to also mention that this mostly a takeout place. There is seating for 2 outside the restaurant, however, would much rather recommend the park which is around the corner.
Read morePros: Vegan filipino food is a rarity, Staff was friendly and helpful
Cons: Location isn't convenient (for me), Takeout only place

Friendly staff and vegan Filipino food - Edit
Veganized classic Filipino dishes as well as some fusion. The katsu musubi was a bit dry, but the birria quesadilla and the crunchwrap were really good. No seating but the staff is friendly.

Delicious Filipino vegan food! - Edit
This takeout only spot serves the most delicious vegan food. There’s a park nearby and seating in the cute downtown so it’s easy to eat once you pick it up. Definitely recommend to hit this place up!

Wanted to be amazed, but just pretty good - Edit
This was my first stop after the airport, so I was very hungry! I even ordered fries with my katsu curry and still would have liked to get more food. Fries were not very crispy, but did have good flavor. The curry had the smallest portion of rice for the price. Didn't realize it was just a walk up window with one table outside, so we took it back to our Airbnb to eat. Service, however, was great, they were really nice and pretty quick.

Yummy ribs - Edit
The ribs were yummy, and the sauce on top made for a nice flavor. They're certainly worth trying! The macaroni salad was much sweeter and tangier than expected, though. The macaroni and ribs were also served on top of rice, and I think they would've been better on their own.

Vegan Food Made With Pure Love - Edit
Get literally anything here, you can never go wrong. That’s the only downside of this place- every time I eat here, I toil over what to get. The ribs and the corned beef silog are what I end up getting the most, but everything I’ve ever had here has been heavenly. Also highly recommend getting whatever special is available for the day- Reina is so creative and always coming out with amazing new dishes. I do miss the sit-down dining experience, but the food itself has always been the star attraction, so it’s still 100% worth coming back again and again. Bonus if the Deliciously Vegan cupcakes are being featured, they’re to die for!

Filipino Food is Amazing. - Edit
When visiting a new vegan place I like to have them make a recommendation on what I should have. Today I was told I was going to have Tocilog. Not really sure what I ordered or how to even pronounce it but knew it was vegan. Tosilog is a popular Filipino breakfast meal. The name tosilog was derived from the different components of the meal which are: Tocino (cured pork), Sinangag (Filipino garlic fried rice), and Sunny-side up egg. Chef Reina took this meal and made a vegan version. The pork was done with with seitan and it's. bright color had an incredible taste and texture. Sunnyside up egg and it was vegan tasted like I remember and the garlic brown rice was great. Location not far off Hwy 101 just south of San Francisco if you are heading to the airport. Easy street parking. Only disadvantage is it take out only
Read morePros: How often do you find a Filipino Vegan Restaurant?, Tocilog traditional meal with surprising taste , They aren't using premade vegan patties
Cons: Only one con. Take out only
