The setup is completely outdoor, so there is a high chance of being distracted by flies or approached by vendors while you are eating. It can affect the overall dining experience, especially if you prefer a quieter and more private atmosphere. The food is decent, but in my opinion, it still has room for improvement. They do not serve any sauce by default, no matter what dish you order, which makes some meals feel a bit incomplete or lacking in flavor. A few simple sauce options on the side would definitely make a difference. We have tried dining here once, and honestly, we still do not fully understand the hype. It was not a bad experience, but it did not leave a strong impression either.

Food is good in terms of quantity and taste. One of the most affordable options in Sebay. Seating is limited to a few tables along the alley. Customers prefer to do take-out.

One of the affordable food options around Urbiztondo, La Union. We simply ordered takeout and enjoyed our meal in our accommodation. Surprisingly, we loved the taste, and it was perfect for a single serving.

Went here for a quick lunch since we’re craving for bagnet. We tried their big bowl of elyu’s bagnet and it’s just so-so. I’m kind of disappointed since their bagnet is not that crispy, kinda hard to chew din, tapos parang hindi bagong luto. Also, their kimchi tasted a bit dull. I think the price is a bit too much for what you’d get.

Sipping my drink and watching the crowd, it instantly felt like a cozy hideout. The small bites were packed with flavor and made the hangout really enjoyable.

One of the known food stops in the area, if you can't find this just ask any local. It does have a small menu (mostly Filipino cuisine) with affordable rates --just perfect for your budget. It's dining place isn't that spacious though, just a quaint small space in the side walk. Tourists still come not only to eat but for the vibe as the place is instagram worthy. Ps. I love their donation project. Please support it!

If you need a quick fix when you’re hungry, check this place out. The service is fast, and the food is affordable. We tried their tapa, and it was worth it. The place is small and located along an alley, but it’s one of the recommended spots on social media. There’s also a sign reminding customers to return their bowls after eating.

Must try. Good food and good service, but their kimchi tasted dull but all in all it’s a good restaurant to eat.
