I really love coming here for the Happy Hour specials! They have 1$ specials for the oysters, chicken wings and tacos, as well as drink specials that vary by day. My favorite drink to get there is the Calamansake. I also got to try the Crab Butter Fried Rice which is made of crab tomalley, onions, scallions, sesame and rice, and I added Dungeness crabmeat (I liked it, but honestly, it would be just as good without it. The crab while delicious, didn't add anything extra).
If you have intolerances or allergies, ask the staff; I got to see the ingredient label for the syrup used for the Calamansake.
Some of the staff was really nice, some others don't really acknowledge your presence.
The place is spilt into 2; one's a bar type, the other a restaurant with big group seating with large booths. I had much better service at the bar than at the restaurant.
I didn't check out the restrooms so I'll definitely make an edit to this post after my next visit

I liked the open, easy going vibe of this place. The tacos were fully loaded for sure but had to eat them with a fork because one thin corn tortilla wasn’t enough to contain the soppiness of the juices and toppings. Oysters were good. Wing lollipops weren’t burnt to a crisp. Pretty sure our bartender was high.

I came here one year ago today and going to give it a 'late, but much needed review'.
I'm going to be fair and give this place a decent rating because maybe things have improved in one year.
The staff and atmosphere was def on point. Fun, low lit and perfect for a 'date~night'. However, the food was overly salted and a bit pricey for the small portions served. I can see the taste experience being much better if I'd been drinking a lot. But I was not. So.....
3/5 food.
We ordered the Shrimp Gambas ( large prawns in salty sweet sauce), Shanghai Crispy Lumpia (Attic's version) and the Garlic noodles with Crab. Unfortunately, small amount of canned crab found in the overly salted, over cooked and overpriced noodles.
The great atmosphere and super friendly service was its strong points. I will return again sometime and try out something from their extensive menu.

Not too many dishes to choose, and not really Philippine style....just ordinary bar food. Sisig doesn't taste good, should be much fattier...Chicken wings taste like soy sauce. Crab rice is mostly rice, not really tasty too. Every dishes were dry and not tasty. Service was good and food prepared very fast.

Cool looking bar, not your typical neighborhood bar. They have happy hours cokctails for $5 and beer for $3. We were in the bar area downstairs. The seats are limited so I can imagine it can get a little busy late at night.
My hubby ordered the bitter whiskey and I had the tropical tequila. The cocktail were undrinkable. Like we had a sip and couldn't have more. It tasted like cheap alcohol. For mine there was no taste OJ nor pineapple. I guess that's what you get for $5.
So we ended up having a couple of beers instead. So if you are having a beer it's a nice place but don't come here for cocktails.

Underwhelming from years past. Adobo lollipops are now wings and kind of dry. Garlic noodles and sisig are still very good. Seating was downstairs only when previous years we were able to get seated upstairs. Getting a reservation via wesbite or phone is not possible...email only with unknown response rate. Also, bar tender let us know that the menu online is not updated. Best to check before you go.

Filipino food made fancy?
Solid food, solid drinks. Happy hour drink specials daily till 10 (or was it 11?) - awesome. Good service. Great ambiance. Ready to go back and try the rest of the menu!
- Wings - 5/5 - Yum!
- Poke App - 4.5/5 - Too much seaweed for my taste but good flavors
- Bo luc lac - 4/5 - Good but not sure I like the price on that (knowing that same dish is cheaper elsewhere and tastier).. nevertheless still good
- Death by Pork - 3.5/5 - Good not stellar

Ordered the sisig and had to return it. The pieces were chunks the size of steak tips and dry. I'm not philipino but have had great sisig and it did not taste or look like what I had. The fried egg was not even cooked all the way. On top of that I waited for over 45 minutes for the one dish. The bar downstairs looked like a nice place for a cocktail and they do have a happy hour.
