We decided to try Krill because there's not a lot of options in the Triangle that offer filipino cuisine. The food was delicious and authentic, not some attempt to re-imagine the dishes. We ordered with the shrimp and squid ukoy, which was a bit under cooked in the middle, but still delicious. The mains were the short rib kare kare and bagoong fried rice. Both of these were excellent. The only thing missing was a side dish of bagoong that should've accompanied the kare kare, which is traditionally done. We finished with the filipino flan. This was just like my mom used to make, creamy, sweet, and delicious. All in all, the food was wonderful. The food plus one beer, the bill came to just under$100, so it's not exactly a bargain. The parking situation was not bad as there's a side lot and they validated. If there was a complaint, it would be nit-picky things like the tables for two were a little small, just barely enough to fit the food and our plates. And the tables were too close together which felt a little weird because people on either side of us, together felt like we were all in one table. That said, we'll be back.

Lovely first experience! The Latik Toast was DELICIOUS!!! I Also, had the chicken and waffles, and the preparation was superb. The chicken was super moist, cooked all the way through with a deliciously crispy skin. Server was great and the atmosphere was welcoming!

The food was tasty, our waiter did not return with any water and wasn’t attentive about that at all during our meal. We also kind of felt a little rushed. The food came relatively quickly. Pandan waffle doesn’t really taste like pandan. Our waiter didn’t seem too eager to be there. It was also a birthday celebration and nothing was mentioned from the waiter about it at all. It’s unfortunate cause the place is pretty and has a nice ambience.

Food was extremely salty. Even with unflavored rice, the entrees were almost inedible due to the salt levels. Service was so slow and/or non existent. Our server did not refill our water or ask how we liked the food. We ended up having to flag her down to get our check. Food took 30min+ to come when tables who arrived and ordered after us got their food must faster.

They couldn’t validate my parking. But I did not get towed. The food was outstanding. It is my favorite 5 PM dining spot. Love everything about Krill.
