This Asian market and Filipino/Korean restaurant in Universal City is a hidden gem, serving up incredible bites. The owners, Marilee Ramirez and her husband Yong, offer a variety of fresh, scratch-made dishes like deep-fried plantains with caramel, fresh bread, lumpia, and a delicious coconut cake-flan combo. The shop in the front also has many different sauce and ingredient options. Overall, it’s a great spot with fantastic owners and a wide selection of tasty Filipino and Korean specialties like lechon, lumpia, pancit, and fried garlic rice. They also serve fried chicken, more desserts, kare kare and more! Their weekend food offers are even larger!
