This is a small to-go restaurant in a Philippino supermarket. It was authentic as far as my experience goes, having worked in Luzon for a month and eaten a lot of the food. If you want lumpia there is a 5 minute lead time so get that in first. You order the food in a non-self service buffet line. I recommend you ask for help. I asked and the servers were very helpful to explain each dish and what to get. My meal was a one side which was inexpensive at $8 and included a can of soda.

Small, medium, large styro cups. I advice get the small if you just want to test the dish out (dry, or soup based). Once you like something then the guideline is medium for dry dishes, large for soup based dishes. Friday and Saturday they have goat meat dishes like pinapaitan (bitter soup).
