Sampaguita Village Restaurant invites you to their establishment. They are open after-hours Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and over week-ends. You can get there by public transit. They are in an area known for its grassy spaces.
Problem is they don't accept take out orders for lechon kawali. It very prostrating if you travel far and they say no take out for lechnon kawali. I am a regular customer.
The setting is very crowded,tables are very close together and you have to be careful when moving about in the restaurant. The kitchen is part of the dining room and is visible to all customers dining. I have to admit, the food is not bad, we ordered beef with mushrooms, chicken with garlic sauce and lechon. The halo halo was good. All dishes were good portions and the wait was not very long.
The customer service is HORRIBLE. Their menu is very vague with no description of the dishes. I wanted to get the 'curry chicken' and I asked the waitress what kind of curry chicken it was..if it was with coconut milk and what else was in it and the waitress gave this annoyed look and said * "I don't know, I'm not a cook" *.
After that, it completely turned me off of the experience there.
All in all, I would dine there again if they had a little bit more courtesy and respect for their customers.
Food is great and the prices cant get better!! There menu is mostly all Filipino cuisine and some Chinese. I suggest you order the fried tilapia and eat it with the spicy vinegar yummm. They also bring you freshly roasted peanuts when you arrive! If you like fresh delicious cheap food this place is great!
