Tapsi

1/26/24Getting lunch! I called in and ordered the chicken teriyaki with Pancit. Unfortunately, they no longer have Pancit. Bummer. Steamed rice instead. The worker was kind and said it would be ready in 20 minutes. I went in to get it. Small place! The worker was nice. Paid for the order, told enjoy & left! Lunchtime! Chicken teriyaki was Really Delicious! Tasty! Fresh steamed rice & veggies too! Lumpia included was Great also! Nice, sweet dipping sauce! Leftovers too! Good service & Great lunch! Highly recommended!

Well what can I say about this place..... this is not your typical style Filipino food restaurant . It's a all day breakfast from 10am-2pm. Please look at the pictures to see the current menu. Location: the place is clean and also the surrounding area. Cool area to step out and look around while you wait for your food to come because it's made to order! So make sure you give yourself sometime time. Parking: is not free parking but plenty of street meter parking. On my short trip to Fresno I got to visit this place called TAPSI! My assistant and I tried the number 1 and 2 .. at $13 dollars a pop. The presentation looks great and made to order! Both came with garlic rice , vegetables , 2 lumpia and the lumpia was tasty! The taste was really good and fresh. The surrounding environment was so cool as well. So now that I found you TAPSI now every time I make it here I'll be sure to always say hello and taste some of your other combos on your menu. If your ever around this area or passing tru and looking for a great breakfast Filipino food and made fresh... then this is the spot for you.

Been wanting to try this place for a while now called in my order and was told it would take 25 minutes. When I get there my order is ready and sitting on the counter. The African-American lady who took my order, was very polite and sweet when I got in the car, I always like to take pics so that I can do a review took a picture of plate number one it looked and smelled great. Took a bite. It was delicious opened up plate number two and discovered that it was not a number five which was barbecue pork that I had ordered but it was also a number one so there I have two number ones so I turn around so that I can go in and have my order fixed mind you I was on my 30 minute lunch break hence the reason why I called in my order so I get to the door and the door is locked. Surprise they are closed so I called the restaurants number and the lady who took my order previously answered the phone she remember my name and everything which was cute. so I told her what the issue was and she assured me that the mistake would be fixed so me thinking that all they had to do was switch out the meat and that it would take about five minutes. Sit down to wait almost 15 minutes later, my break was already over, I was pissed and I asked what was taking so long because I had to get back to work. I was handed my order a couple minutes later and the cashier apologized but at this point I was upset because I was late getting back to work from my lunch break now the meat was really really delicious. You could tell It was freshly grilled just but the veggies were hardly cooked which I did not like and I don't eat Sunnyside eggs either so that pretty much grossed me out my kids love Sunnyside eggs, so I'll be saving it for my kids to eat. All in all I would recommend this place because the food is good I just would recommend making sure you have the correct order and also not being in a rush to get anywhere.SN I probably wouldn't have been so upset if they would have let me keep the other plate as well lol.

Tried food from Tapsi for the first time yesterday and I'm so glad I found this hidden gem! I placed an order over the phone before going to pick it up and the sweet lady taking my order was very nice. My food was waiting for me when I got there and was SO incredible! We got the #1 and #2 with garlic fried rice and everything was so delicious! The meat was so soft and flavorful and the rice, eggs, and veggies were such a good balance to the meat. The plate also included two yummy little lumpia with sweet chili sauce and some spicy sauce for the other stuff. We will definitely be back to try the other things on their menu!

The food is fantastic. I'd been craving Filipino food and was so glad to see this small restaurant still open. I took it to-go but they do have seating available. I know I'll be back again!

Ok, backstory for the reviewer first. I'm in no way an expert or even experienced Filipino food critic. I first tried Filipino food in the late nineties when my friends mother made us various dishes over the course of a year, and I only liked the typical favorites, such as lumpia, pansit, chicken adobo. The rest was too greasy or odd for me. Pastries were definitely not a hit, and halo halo was just not my thing. I avoided Filipino food for about a decade and tried again while living in San Diego for years. I tried several restaurants and bakeries and pot lucks only to always have the same results. Fast forward to today, and I finally get it!I stumbled on Tapsi while in downtown Fresno for work and I am enlightened, and now hooked. I ordered the pork BBQ plate #5 with garlic rice and meat lumpia. It came with a fried egg and charred vegetables. The meat had a delicious char with a wonderful marinade and was tender. Nothing was greasy and it was cooked to perfection, everything. Absolutely delicious. All for a surprisingly low price and the service was so very friendly. I asked for some spicy sauce, and received a container of diced chilis, maybe cilantro, red pepper seeds, a vinegary juice and God knows what other secret spices and flavors were in there, but it was SPICY and full of flavor. Use it with a little self control because it is both delicious and potent. I am a changed man and will absolutely be back to finally discover what all the hype around Filipino cuisine has been all about! Thank you Tapsi

My boss is a big advocate of Filipino food. We travel over the United States for work. We found "Tapsi" a Filipino restaurant that serves only breakfast their store hours are from 10am-2pm. The store location is in downtown Fresno near the two airports in. The surrounding areas seem very safe and clean very people friendly; parking is not free $1.50 per hour. The restaurant was tidy and clean. The food was good and came along with veggies and a eggrolls. Looking forward to eating here again.

This place is close by to the office while I'm in town for business, so I decided to give it a try earlier this week. Got the teriyaki chicken and it was delicious! It came with garlic rice served with a fried egg on top, two lumpia and sweet and sour sauce. Everything was good. Stopped back in today just for a snack and got the side of 5 lumpia for $4, what a deal. If I'm back in town again, I'll definitely go back.

Service was bad. We asked the cashier what some of the items were on the menu because it was our first time there, she just said one was beef, one was fish, one was was pork and one was sausage...that was it. No explanation or anything. The menu seemed pretty simple but they took over half an hour for our food to come out. We tried ordering drinks, water and diet cokes...I don't know why she had a hard time understanding, so we didn't get drinks.We ordered the beef, chicken adobo, and wings. The thinly sliced beef was dry, overcooked and bland. Chicken Adobo was also bland but tender. The wings were soggy and didn't seem fresh...we ate there and waited over half an hour for our food. The onions in the vegetables were raw, still white, not translucent...It was also an hour before closing and they ran out of pancit. The restaurant was dark.Food was mediocre, service was mediocre, I've had better Filipino food elsewhere in town. I wouldn't come back here.

First time at Philippine restaurant.My Philippine friend told me to get the noodles.They were out? Ordered chicken adobe, wings & beef. Mediocre at best. Person who took our order tolerated our questions. We were there at 1 pm. They already put the closed sign up and cleaned around my feet by 115pm. I won't be back
