27 ALUNA - Rockford, Illinois

This establishment has a cozy and pleasant ambiance. However, the food was not impressive; the portions were small, and my lumpia was undercooked and required recooking. The staff were friendly and patient, and the service was excellent. They graciously removed the affected dish from the bill. While we were disappointed with the food, we might consider returning for the service or maybe their liquor selection, as they have a bar. We apologize for expressing our disappointment.

I normally wait until I leave to leave a review, but this simply could not wait.

We are in town for the Rockin Rockford volleyball tournament. Aggressively hung over, we decided to blindly give this place a shot.

Boy were we surprised. In the best way possible. Atmosphere of the restaurant is so welcoming. Comfortable seats, great drink choices, and the food.

The food is beyond anything we could have imagined. I've never had Filipino food before, but always heard good things. I will gladly make the almost 2 hour drive just to eat here again. The Ube Pancakes were to die for, the Morning Noodles were out of this world. Honestly, nothing but positive feedback. I also love the fact that the farms they source ingredients from are listed on the menu.

Keep up the good work! We will be back!!

Made reservations they were able to get us right in. The waitress was phenomenal I asked questions about the dishes and she was able to answer them quickly and respectfully. The place was very busy and they still got our food out relatively quick. As the dishes came out each one was very delicious and as good as advertised. I would highly recommend try this place.

We came in without a reservation but we're still able to be seated. Food was delicious and so were the drinks. Definitely recommend the Aluna Water. Portions were smaller but filling.

Found our new favorite brunch spot! Many dairy-free options. Loved the salmon bowl and the sausage breakfast sandwich. The fries were fantastic! We’ll be back.

This is a tiny little gem in downtown Rockford. If you like Filipino food, you have to try this place. Delicious and aesthetically pleasing dishes that will make your "Tita" proud. Highly recommend the Ube' cocktail and ube' cheesecake.

First day I went there My husband and I had cheeseburgers and pork belly bao. Both were very tasty. The cheeseburger was probably one of the best cheeseburgers I've had. And the fries were pretty good too. I went back the next day to take my daughter for cheeseburgers but the menu was different. So I had breakfast bao And she had a different type of cheeseburger. Everything was still very good.

Atmosphere is a great date night atmosphere. They have great drinks. And during the day it's nice for family.

The staff there's awesome. They check on you often. They are all very friendly and they go above and beyond. Very impressive!

I first met Jacob just coming in to check out the place and he was very friendly. He told me a lot about the restaurant although he would be closing soon. He's very patient. Emma and Lola were my waitresses on the occasions that I came to actually sit down and eat. They were both very nice. Emma waited on us for date night. She was fun and helped us pick drinks and meals. Her input was valuable since it was our first time there.

Overall we had a great experience and look forward to coming back in the very near future.

Of course no one's perfect. Only issue we had was on the first visit our fries came out a little overcooked. I showed the waitress and she corrected it immediately.

My favorite restaurant in Rockford thanks to the deliciously unique flavors of both the food and the cocktails, the diverse offerings (including vegan and mocktails), and the fantastic vibe. The service is always warm, friendly, and professional. And it's one of the only places at which I eat numerous different things instead of having only one or two favorites. Brunch and dinner are both amazing!
