One of the best filipino food places I've been to in Brooklyn. I loved the decor, the service was spot-on, and even the dessert was memorable since I've never had anything like it before. Their bibingka was very moist and warm which really added to its experience and I still dream of it now being back home in Toronto. Would highly recommend coming here.

Excellent food. The wait staff was supremely friendly and knowledgeable. They were accommodating to our impromptu group of 10 people, and we did not feel out of place at all. I highly recommend that you try their Hola Hola, it is a different and interesting dessert. Well worth the visit, I’ll be sure to return in the future.

I've only ever had Filipino food a handful of times, but was so impressed with what came out of this kitchen. The chicken adobo was juicy and my friends and I fought over who would finish the miki bihon. Also, first time I've tried halo-halo and I get it now—creamy and refreshing and actually a lot of fun to mix. Can't wait to come back here.

Ive had the pleasure of growing up with some Filipinos here in NY metro. Ok, that is a huge understatement. I have more "titas” and "titos" than actual aunts and uncles, heard "ano ba, you need to eat...you are so skinny" enough times to make a lesser man feel insecure of his physical presence and spent some time at ABS-CBN during an impromptu visit to the Philippines. So when I saw a local BBQ spot opening up, my mind raced with possibilities of endless lumpia, pancit till I had to quit, diniguan over white rice(don't ask, just eat it if you get a chance) and another stab at balut(with a lot of San Miguel). This place does not appear to be where you go for that. I believe FOB is taking Filipino cuisine upscale a bit, or at least that is what the prices left me to believe. Figuring i would start with the basics, I ordered the BBQ sticks and pancit to go(see pic) totalling slightly under $17 and that's a problem. The BBQ sticks(1 chicken/1 pork) came as they would at any other Filipino spot, in a bag. For $13, i expected a bit more in presentation, flavor, meat preparation(texture)...anything. The chicken was dry and overcooked and the pork was tough and grainy. Both were lightly flavored with the same BBQ sauce. There was not a lot of sauce on meat, but what little there was did not taste better than something i can get for a lot less and in greater abundance(i love bbq) elsewhere. I am all for an elevated experience, but there was nothing here that tasted elevated and I hate to say was at best average to the bbq i have been lucky enough to have over the years. Th pancit canton had the texture and mouth feel of reheated Lo Mein. I did not see much in the way of celery, carrot or snow peas(as described on menu). Texture/feel comments aside the flavor was ok, but again cost/portion/value are not there. This was frustratingly disappointing. I've seen/eaten foods that provided an elevated experience while still providing a great value. I felt cheated here.
