Tikim 101 in Arlington

Best Filipino Cebuano seafood you can find. Vilma and May Ann are the best. Vilma is a Cebuano where she does most of the cooking while May Ann is the server and also do the cooking. The service in here is slow, Vilma says they cook their food from scratch and usually most of the customers would call ahead to order and pick it up at the restaurant. May Ann is doing her best but sometimes when you need something it's very hard for her to reach out. The location of this restaurant also leaves alot of the customers confused because they have no signpost, entrance isn't clear, and the setup of place is in the hotel's cafeteria. If you are looking for this place, go inside the hotel entrance, then on the left you will see a door with a downstairs,...

this place is in a motel lobby, no sign out front with the name and is not in a strip center!!  we went for sunday brunch and after making three loops around the block due to no name we went inside just to verify address, there were no other people inside the place and it is more set up as a bar for the evenings for the low income motel folks....    this is NOT a place to go with all the other food choices in this cuisine choice, maybe the old location was better???

It's not Tikim 101 anymore it's "Kanin". I have been there 2x already and it was a delicious and fun place to have dinner and be entertained, too.  The owner can sing.   It is a slow service but it's worth the wait. I recommend ordering in advance.  They have karaoke and customers can go on stage and sing.  They have a DJ and when he played Todo Todo, the ladies started line dancing.  Awesome place for getting together with friends.
