This is not an authentic Filipino restaurant at all (I wouldn’t even call this a Filipino restaurant). We came here based on the good reviews, but clearly none of them were left by those familiar with Filipino cuisine. If you’re Filipino, stay away! Adobo ribs: adobo is a dish traditionally slow cooked in soy sauce and vinegar. Here however it tasted more like buffalo sauce than anything. It’s way too salty and sour clearly vinegar was added towards the end of the cooking process and had no time to evaporate. Kare kare: for a dish that’s supposed to be peanut based, this dish had no peanut taste. Chicken inasal: I don’t even know what to say about this one. It tasted like regular chicken wings you can get from a pub. Sisig: Way too salty and lacking crunchiness because it was missing crunchy ingredients like chicken liver All in all, none of the dishes tasted even remotely close to Filipino cuisine. We were not surprised to find out that this establishment was NOT Filipino owned and had NO FILIPINO COOK! It was a confusing experience, as we couldn’t understand what we were eating where was the Filipino food? Despite the good service, to call this a Filipino restaurant would be absolute cultural appropriation!

Been craving lumpia like my old family friends used to make .. crispy fresh hot.. Thats not what I received sadly. Could of been an off day .. it happens. I’m a chef so I understand. Tasted salty and looked soggy burnt not fried fresh. Tried to put in airfryer .. didn’t work. Will try one more time.

Club 85 is pretty nice for meat lovers; should be enough amount for 3-4 people.

Servers were welcoming and responsive. Food was very good, especially the pork sisig and skewers. Found myself longing for garlic fried rice, and my husband was wondering why Chinese beer was served instead of San Miguel. But all in all, would definitely come back to this little gem of a place.

Was staying for a trip in LES and saw this place. Was passing by for a quick snack. I loved the sisig puff appetizer it was delicious. Never have seen this it is a creative way of eating sisig other than usually eating it with rice! Authentic Filipino flavors. The owner was nice and friendly!
