Finally made time to visit Adobolicious and I'm glad I was able to enjoy my no-frills dining-in experience. Unfortunately, during these times, the restaurant was not fully staffed. I was immediately informed that there will be no waitress to attend to me (which was fine!).
I had to order at the counter and chose to pay with Venmo (there is signage at the entrance of the different payment options). My meal consisted of Bicol Express (Pork with a Coconut-based Stew), Lumpiang Shanghai, and rice (included).

I ordered their rice place, sweet pork with eggs and garlic rice for takeaway. The order only took about 10 minutes to get done, and quickly drove home. It was actually a pretty good meal. I've tasted the same dish in other Filipino restaurants, and this one is a bit different. It feels less oily and have more flavor. All in All, I'm glad I...
Read moreNot worth your time. They open at 11am on Sat but it's already been twice that they were close, or taking food orders later, because they had to cook their catering orders.
When you are able to eat in, your food options may be limited, again, because of their catering orders. For example, tried to order Lechon Kawali, but told it was not available. During the course of the meal, I over heard a tray of Lechon Kawali was ready for pickup.
On Sundays, they will limit, or prevent, you from ordering from the menu and force you to eat their buffet, which is ok, at best.
This is NOT a restaurant, this is a catering business that opens it's restaurant when...
