The food is good and service is fast. Only, there's no air-conditioning and so it's hot.

A tribute and homage to a vintage to local food spot where lomi started its humble beginnings... a lomi as it used to be... people still flocking the place to a feel good lomi... which most grown up to eating... hope it will keep up the traditions and up keep the place.

Lomi since 1968. It was my mom and dad’s lomian back then. It tastes good as usual. Wala lang sila yung madami sahog :3. But it’s fine. Kudos

We tried the classic special Lomi. As always, the serving was plenty enough to be shared by 2-3 people if you're after a mirienda. Their Lomi has a thicker consistency, and the flavor is more noticeable compared to the other ones we tried (also has a darker color). I wish they could revamped the interior of the restaurant as it's quite dark and old already, but the overall aesthetic is okay as it feels like a go to eatery within the vicinity of Lipa's market.
