"Good deal for the amount of meats you get (fills up a to-go container). First time we ordered it they must've run out of rice because we got a half filled container with brown crunchy rice, obviously from the bottom.

"This place is probably my favorite ramen place so far, everything tastes so good, so much flavor! Sadly they don't have tonkatsu broth, but I love miso broth the most. SPICY Miso Butter Corn Ramen is my favorite one. "
"HINODEYA Ramen flavor was okay, just more salty than I'd like, so I've had better. The Beef Bowl and Spicy Pork Bowl were super tiny. They were like kid sized bowls, not worth the money, in my opinion. The amount of meat to rice ration was also sad. It's like the size of a bowl you'd put miso soup in. At least the ramen bowls were average size, but again the amount of meat is lacking. Chicken Karaage was overcooked and mostly bready, not enough chicken. Not sure if it's any better if we were to eat in, but definitely won't be doing delivery again. "

"The best Filipino Breakfast food in the bay! The food is prepared really fast and is always delicious. Recommend the Tocilog for those new to this type of food. It's a sweet marinated pork belly. All dishes come with delicious garlic fried rice and an egg. I always add an extra egg for that extra goodness. For dessert I recommend Halo-Halo"
"Most everything was OK tasting, except for the Sisigsilog. It was not crispy, but rather chewy, and it just didn't have the flavors. The Liempo was very greasy (so much oil in the bottom of the package tray). And the Spamsilog, Halo-Halo and Lumpia (12 pcs) were again OK. Note,the Lumpia (12 pcs) are really 6 normal size lumpias cut in half. Overall, while they are very generous with the amount of rice, unfortunately that does not make up for the small portion size to justify the prices for food that is average at best."
