If you only try five plates, start here — made fresh, the home way.
The food brings you in. The chika keeps you.
In Filipino, chika means to chat and catch up; a kainan is simply a place to eat. Garlic-rice silogs in the morning, steaming lugaw on a slow afternoon, mami and pares when the day turns cool — nothing fancy, everything made the way it's made at home.

The host with the ladle.
Chika is the apron, the ladle, the "kumain ka na ba?" She doesn't run a restaurant so much as keep a very large family table — and she keeps the prices where a student, a tricycle driver, and a whole family can all sit down without thinking twice.
The food is honest carinderia cooking: nothing fancy, everything made the way it's made at home. That is the brand in one sentence — sarap na abot-kaya, generous and honest Filipino food at neighbourly prices, served like family, in a place where everyone is welcome.
