Celestino - Bowling Green

I attempted to call, but the phone number is not working. I decided to drive to the location, only to find that it appears to be a barbecue restaurant now. I'm disappointed because the food looked really good.

It looks like this restaurant is permanently closed! It’s set to become a barbecue spot in the near future.

Oh my gosh!!! What a hidden gem! As soon as you walk in, JoJo, the owner and chef, welcomes you with a warm smile and immediately asks if you have any food allergies. Kuya (which means brother and shows respect in Filipino culture) JoJo prepares your meal surprisingly quickly! It only takes about 10-15 minutes—which is impressive, considering that traditional Filipino cooking can take hours. He customizes each dish to suit your taste perfectly.

The food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and the staff were very friendly. We will definitely return.

As soon as we arrived, the staff was warm and welcoming. The food was excellent; even my picky 9-year-old enjoyed his chicken adobo! The gentleman who I believe is the owner was incredibly kind and took the time to engage with our family, making us feel right at home.
