Love this spot! The staff are always super welcoming and friendly. My partner and I usually go to the sister location on Rt 9 in Old Bridge but it is so nice having a Filipino restaurant closer to home. They make everything to order so the food is always nice and fresh. They know us by name at this point and basically know our order by heart, unless we switch it up. Definitely recommend if you want something a little different than the norm around here. They do also have some more standard fare like teriyaki chicken, bbq pork sticks etc. the bubble tea here is great!

Always great and fast service. The food is always delicious and hot. My favorite food item is the pork on a stick. My family is Filipino and it reminds me of my family bbqs we used to have 5stars all day!!!

Lumpia & pancit was great! The lady who I met at the counter while I was picking up my order was so sweet and kind! Definitely my meal of choice when I'm in the area!

If you love good Filipino Food, I would definitely suggest a visit here! My husband is from Cavite City in the Philippines and he was very happy to see their extensive menu, featuring some classic dishes. They have the roasted garlic peanuts, the crunchy ukoy that is perfectly crispy, halo-halo, flan etc. all at the register so you can add them onto your order for a snack or a dessert. Now for the food! The BBQ pork kababs 100% flavor and tender; not dry or tasting re heated yeilding tough meat. The curry was excellent in the amount of curry and coconut we got in each bite. My absolute favorite is the Tapsilog (beef, egg, garlic rice) because their beef tasted well marinated. The service is good, you can speak Tagalog or English when placing an order. The interior features a framed origin story, bold colors and tables to sit at.

Food is good even better than their Old Bridge branch especially their Halo Halo. I'd say it's the best in Middlesex County as I've of course tried several places versions already. Services is very friendly and prompt even with them making most items to order which is why I think the food is better most food at the Old Bridge location are sitting under warmers.Parking: Shared Lot with other Businesses.

Actually ( lumpia) North East Asian Han Taishan / Vietnamese authentic Sino- Tibetan Hakka/ Han / cuisine,Filipinos stole it from (Kowloon,HK ), right next door to Macau, Portugal) Macanese Ambassador( French Treaty: stole their land from the Sino- Tibetan North East Asians, Macau Portugal oppressed Hong Kong, & ,sold them out!Authentic cooks!)Dragon City,where Bruce Lee( Lee Jun Fan) was named after . Just like the Mexicans in Albuquerque,New Mexico stole the first Asian nomadic explorers in the cave mountain there artwork in the caverns, were North East Asian Hieroglyph descendance drawings , the Mayans stole from the North East Sino- Tibetan Asian people,that archaeologists stole from the Sino-Tibetan Asian,they were discredited for their artwork here!No poetic justice, for Asian explorers they received no recognition, of their stolen art in the caves there!?? ???

I happened to be back home in NJ for a weekend and I was being too lazy to go out for food. So I decided to order delivery from Tropical Hut Express via Yelp (Grubhub). I ordered the pancit bihon and chicken lumpia. The food arrived around a time that was expected and the portions were huge. I can't speak to the service as I didn't order directly from the restaurant and I never visited in person. My delivery driver left my food on the door step and watched me from his car to make sure I got the food so that was a contactless experience. Would I order from them again? Yes!

Ordered the fried shrimp, chicken teriyaki and pork shish kebab (I think it's called something else on the menu). Everything was EXCELLENT. It was the best chicken teriyaki I have ever had. The pork had an amazing sauce as did the shrimp. I regret not having ordered from here earlier.

This place is amazing, the staff is extremely friendly and inviting. The prices are cheap and the portions are humongous. The food tastes amazing and very flavorful. This is easily one of my favorite spots to eat around town.
