Naty Filipino American Food

We've been eating here for the past 2 months, & there's always two consistent factors that keep me coming back. 1. Dellicious food 2. Quality serviceThee pork adobo, beef steak, pork, ect are great for eating lunches or dinners. The portions are huge for such a small cost. The desserts are super cheap, yet scrumptious! The service is ridiculously great! The employees are working in a hot, loud environment for hours a day, yet always have a smile on their face. They give me hope that there are still a few humble, hardworking people around!I really appreciate starting my day eating at Naty's. I'd recommend it to anyone in the Chinatown area!

This is the spot I only go to for Pinoy food at the Maunakea Marketplace! Aunty Naty I've known for 30 years. She's had her booth for about 25 years. Her ginataan halo-halo is delicious along with her many other dishes like dinakdakan, giniling na baboy with quail eggs and many others! If you crave Pinoy food and are in Chinatown then make sure you stop by her place and try. You won't be disappointed!

Who would have thought one of the best Filipino food located inside Maunakea Marketplace, a little gem in Chinatown. The pig ear was soft and crunchy at the same time and not tough at all, diniguan comes with lean meat. Tripe soup was tasty. Definitely back for more.

I usually go to Chinatown on Saturdays and have been eating in Maunakea Marketplace for a while. I like getting the Beef Soup from Natys because they put a lot of vegetables in the soup and they use the short rib pieces in the soup (the other places there use different bones) the soup is also a bit tastier than the rest of the places there although it is a $1 more bringing it to $10 for the soup. The soup is a light beef soup with cabbage, bok choi, potato, and some other vegetable chunk which I am not sure what that is, but it is a good deal they give a lot of rice to go with it, but I usually ask them to just give me one scoop of rice. there is common seating there and sometimes it can get a bit crowded. Parking is in the municipal lots or on the street. They are reasonably friendly and I always go back. Hope to see you there!

Good food and service. All dishes prepared daily and fresh and lots of seating. Located inside a food court in Chinatown.

Ready to try a carinderia?50+ colorful, exotic looking, steaming dishes. People jostling to order their favorites from the cheery women behind the counter none of whom English is their first language. Me, apparently the only one who doesn't speak the language with no idea what each dish is, I just resort to pointing. Somehow ending up with 10 containers. A food adventure!Tip: Go early for the broadest selection of freshly made, not overcooked from being held at temp on a steam table food. Dishes are NOT replenished. Gone is gone.The result... (and yes, I had to google dishes based on what I tasted).Igado (pig liver and pork stew) - Slices of pork and its liver, lightly marinated in vinegar (the tell tale softening of the protein from marinating in acid), then cooked with soy sauce, onions, garlic, bay leaf and black pepper. Bell pepper and frozen mushy peas adds color and veg flavor. The liver adds complexity to what would otherwise be a very simple dish. Tender. Flavorful. Good eats.Paksiw na Pata (braised pork trotters) -Yet another braise using soy, vinegar and sugar backed by onions and garlic. A good hit of black pepper adds mild heat. All around good eats, the skin, still retaining some chew, the meat itself, porky goodness, tender with flavor reaching the bone.Dinuguan (pork and offal braised in blood) - Vampire food! Chunks of fatty pork and small bits of what taste like pork stomach and liver braised in thickened pigs blood with the omni present onions, garlic, bay leaf, and vinegar. A good hit of black pepper and some chili heat add balance. Somewhat tart, livery, irony, very rich, but you don't know you're eating blood. This example is served almost like pork covered with a thick paste. Other interesting dishes included vinegar marinated and braised pig ears and tripe (two separate dishes), are both very good. Both still slightly chewy. The first perfect with some fresh chilies you buy in the market, the tripe, not as clean as it could be, still with the "tripe smell" but it suits the simple food. Not everything is perfect. Fried fish was overcooked and dry as was the lechon. All good, there's plenty of soupy things to try.Add to the home-style food, the old, not so clean (don't look at the floors), hot and humid, noisy food stall ambiance and the place exudes an authentic charm.A risky adventure with very satisfying results.

A great find!Strolling around (slightly disappointing) Chinatown we walked into the Maunakea Marketplace. We love Filipino Food and were happy to find several counters inside. Hard to choose, since all of them looked good. We like Dinuguan and the one at Naty's looked very tasty.So we got some Dinuguan and also some Pork Adobo. Both were very well done, especially the Dinuguan was some of the best we've ever had. Nice and rich blood sauce with offals and pork...a fantastic meal!The Markeplace might not be a looker...but don't let that stop you. It's a pretty busy place with lots of locals. And there's a good reason for that: The food is great....and prices are low. Highly recommended!

After shopping in Chinatown for groceries, my cousin and I were hungry and wanted something quick to eat so we checked out the Maunakea Marektplace Food Court, which is predominantly Filipino fast food.I pretty much patronize Nestor's and Aje's but none of them had chicken curry, which Naty's had. It looked like a fresh batch that just came out so I had a 1-choice plate and a side order of pancit bihon:Chicken Curry (2/5)This was disappointing. Definitely looks better than it tastes. First of all, the chicken was overcooked and the gravy was too runny. I did appreciate the large chunks of veggies and potatoes which were NOT overcooked. But sadly, this did not make the grade.Pancit Bihon (4/5)Flavorful and with large chunks of meat, shiitake mushroom and other veggies. It was NOT mushy and cooked very well. I understand it's fast food but would have been a perfect rating should it have been piping HOT, which I prefer.Overall, an average rating of 3-stars. This stall is quite large with an extensive selection of various Filipino dishes, deep fried meats and whole fish as well as sweet desserts. I may have come here on a bad day but very promising. Will most likely come back and try other foods.I shouldn't be alarmed that there were about 4 Filipinas working but only 1 was at the counter assisting customers. There was another one chatting on her cell phone only to ignore me and a couple of other customers. The other 2 were working in the kitchen but checking out the food line and staring at me. This place could sure use some guidance in customer service, but then again this is Chinatown.

I try to arrive here before breakfast and lunch hours to avoid the large crowds eating here,I am lucky to find nearby seating.My favorites are the pork adobo,fish sabaw,tripe soup,dinaknakan, and kaldereta(goat stew)that I ate for the first time was ono.Prices are good for one choice and a bit higher for two,they also have different size containers for takeout.I like the dinuguan,it is not too thick or soupy,just the way I like it.They also have goat and beef kelawen(raw) but because of health issues it is not the taste I get as the home made backyard version,but still tasty.Sometimes the tables are not clean but you can still find seating ,the floors are not the cleanest but I never saw this place with warnings from the board of Health.If you don't mind eating in old style setting,and seeing the occasional cockroach cruising on the floor you can get great food at low prices.After years eating here I have never gotten sick,maybe after a lifetime of eating Filipino food I have a high immunity,but people eating Filipino food for the first time may not be as lucky as locals.

The food here is awesome! This is my go to place for banana lumpia. It isn't glamorous, but is a great local spot.
