Chef Ruby and Next Door Provisions continues to hit all the culinary marks - for presentation, for flavor, and for the skillful balance of the familiar and novel that only someone with genuine mastery can conjure. You get so much value for your money. My 2 sisters and I shared the Blistered Asparagus, Chicken "Dry" Pho, NY Strip Salpicao, Kare Kare Mafaldini, Pork Belly Adobo with some Mango Guava juice. It was a mix of favorite dishes we tried during our first visit and new menu items that we would gladly order again. We've had the Kare Kare Mafaldini and Port Belly Adobo before, and I can report that the quality flavor and presentation remains consistently good.
