"The unifying theme of this map-jumping soul food/Creole/Chamorro joint is “chef Rodel Borromeo’s favorite foods.” It’s an irreverent approach in an era where ultra narrow menu focus is the prevailing expectation, and it absolutely works. There are too many standouts to name ‘em all: a roasted adobo pork sandwich, jalapeno-cheddar hush puppies that easily rank as Seattle’s best, decadent gumbo boosted with brisket and house-made bacon, fried chicken that can throw elbows through this city’s crowded poultryscape, we could go on. And heads up: It’s not even on the menu, but there is often lumpia available." - Eater Staff
