I was amazed at how quickly the food came out of the kitchen. Again, perfect! We got our order within 10 to 15 minutes after ordering. The music was at just the right level, crowd was nice, and it was just overall relaxing. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. Though under staffed, they sat and served us right away. I gave Kaliwa 3 stars out of 5 based on the following:ġ. That said, I personally know the taste of good Asian food. I want to start by saying my wife is Filipina and I dine at Asian restaurants on a normal basis. Overall, I enjoy coming here for the bing and seeing what other creative ideas the chef has. I had to keep drinking water to make the taste go away. The ugly: The Cumin Spiced Lamb Bing Wrap is very presentable, and they give you a good amount of lamb, but each bite of the lamb had a weird after taste that stayed in my mouth. I'm assuming this is a chef's creation but the dish is nothing like a typical standard black bean noodle because there was no sauce so the noodles were dry, and the spice just didn't go well with this dish. I know they changed the menu where it is just Black Bean Noodle now, so maybe it has changed. The Pork Rib was on a hidden menu that the bartender told me about, and it is really meaty and good! It can be messy since you have to eat it with your hands, but the flavor is juicy and worth it.
The Rotisserie Chicken is moist and delicious. The good: Favorite appetizer is Bing! Can't get enough of it especially the butter, spice, and honey mixed in.
The food is generally good, but sometimes with its creative ideas, the food can be a miss at times. Their service is always exceptional with a friendly staff. I've been going here several times for lunch.
