The Pantry

★★★★☆ 3.8 (915) • $$

"My family and I have been dining here for years, even when it relocated to current location.Service is excellent with an extensive menu of breakfast, lunch, dinner entrees!! Took us awhile to figure out!! Ordered the Filipino Tocino , chili con carne omelet, Truck stop special,Joe's special with an appetizer of Sigsig....! All with a generous portion of hash browns w grilled onions -a "must have" here!Just a typical "hole in the wall" (near Ross and Trader Joe's) but serving up delicious Comfort foods with a Filipino flare!!"

Tindahan Pinoy

★★★★☆ 4 (202) • $$

"Tindahan Pinoy is located in a strip mall that has Pho Dao, Đại-Thành Supermarket, Popeye's Louisiana Chicken, T4, etc.The parking isn't too bad. Small place with a couple of shelves full of merchandise for sale. They have a steam table for some food and a kitchen in the back to quickly cook other foods.I came in here to try their breakfast meal of two scoops of garlic rice, a fried egg, tomato & cucumber slices and one meat (Tocino) (3.5/5). It was prepared in about 5-6 minutes.It's usually crowded but not at the time I visited."

Turo Cafe and Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (283) • $$

"Turo Cafe and Grill is one of the few places in the Bay Area to get good quality, Filipino food. Turo serves the same dishes that I grew up with at home.In the past, I've ordered popular dishes, including: pancit (noodles), silog (breakfast combos w/egg), pork sinigang (tamarind soup), BBQ skewers, and of course, LUMPIA. It's rare to order lumpia shanghai (finger food pork egg rolls) at such a girthy size. And there's is kinda girthy for a shanghai. Believe me, I've had shanghai in other places which were either "too skinny" and/or "too short". There's one place I know of that tends to roll their shanghai in extra wrappers to almost deceive customers that it's actually filled with enough meat! LOL. In any case, Turo's Shanghai is "fat, tasteful and meaty" for the discerning lumpia lover in you!Turo Cafe deserves 4.5 stars!!! @feastyle approved! The Turo Cafe storefront makes the store look as if it's heavily busy because of outside traffic, but I've developed a "system" on how to work with here. LOL Otherwise, everything has been great since the food is so tasteful they bring back memories of the quality Pinoy dishes I know and love."

East Bay Cafe Depot

★★★★★ 4.6 (272) • $$

"I never "yelp" a place that I haven't tried at least 3 times, but breaking my own rule here for this one. Ambiance - it's vintage, it's train depot, it's DC comics, it's old diner feel. This is a place to satisfy and savor your time either on your own, or with your love, or with a friend. Watching people roll in here...they're not in a rush, and you shouldn't be, too. It's not just the memorabilia on the wall though that makes this place, it's the owner. You can tell that she's the heart. She is welcoming and warm and friendly and remembers customers! Food - there's regular American food then there's the Filipino breakfasts. Not gonna lie, that's why I'm here because I am always in search for the silogs breakfast places! My filipino heart & soul longs for it, always, even if I can make it at home. I had the Tapsilog (Beef tapa, garlic rice, and 2 eggs). The beef was well marinated with a good dose of flavor, my eggs perfectly cooked, and garlic rice that didn't overwhelm the taste buds - perrrrrfect. The latte I ordered was worth the wait - it was actually the best latte I've ever had. Service - As far I can tell, the owner was an all-in-one package (server, chef, bus person, barista, sunshine, and possible therapist). The service was like walking into a friend's house - it was immediately warm & friendly. She acknowledged my presence letting me know to sit anywhere, while she tended to a table full of regular customers. She took my order with a smile and we ended up having a lovely conversation. Honestly, it was the most relaxing time spent sitting at a table waiting for my food and coffee. Cost - My combo meal was $13.95 for big chunks of beef, a scoop of rice, and 2 eggs. 13 freaking 95! You can't be more reasonable than that, you guys. There are other restaurants that charge $18-$22 for the same damn plate, but at $13.95- I labeled it cheap eats. I don't know what you guys are waiting for...umalis na kayo (leave already)!Cleanliness - OMgee, yessss! As in, the place is clean and so are the bathrooms.I also experienced another surprise when I paid the bill - I wasn't allowed to leave a tip. When I asked about it, the owner said "it's your first time here and I never accept tips from a first time customer". Now when the last time you heard a business say that to you? Exactly. You guys still home?! I said "Tara na!" (Come on, let's go!)"

"2023/037A very quaint shop offering authentic Filipino homemade cuisine and traditional flavorful desserts.We came here to buy Carioca which is a sweet chewy fried glazed balls made out if sweet rice flour and shredded coconuts.Friendly and very welcoming store environment."

Max's Restaurant - Daly City

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (555) • $$

"Easily one of my favorite Filipino restaurants around the area. The food is always top notch. My personal favorites are the chicken adobo, crispy chicken, garlic rice, kare kare, and sinigang! Then for dessert--halo halo! They even have a house special drink which is calamansi mixed with raspberry. The dishes are excellent and the service is absolutely wonderful. The staff always make me feel right at home. During our recent visit, the staff was super accommodating for our party of 10. You can make reservations for parties of 6 and up. Sa susunod ulit! Maraming salamat, Max's Daly City!"

"For my god daughters 1st birthday, her parents decided to cater from this place, yes they cater!!!!! It was a bit of everything, lumpia, lechón , rice , you name it!!! I ate 2 full plates.

"Service was excellent. Gigi was very personable and attentive to our needs making sure our drinks were always toped off!! Ambiance was nice. Tables were not too close to each other and noise level was tolerable.Food:1) Crispy Dinuguan - very tasty and pork was not fatty. 5 of 52) Pancit Miki Bihon - flavor was slightly bland 3 of 5. Seemed like it was missing something but could not figure it out3) Pinakbet - kind of soupy and we liked as it was not too salty. 4 of 54) Chicken Inasal - flavor was spot on so 5 of 55) Crispy pata - excellent 5 of 56) lumpia shanghai was slightly over cooked 3 of 57) calamari was also spot on so 5 of 5We know what to order at the next visit and we look forward to having Gigi service us.

"The lunch special was really good! I got the Sisig for under $20. This is a classy place to bring relatives :) food is good and affordable and cooked by Filipinos!!! I also like their pancit and people love their chicken but for me I never get it because I eat so much Costco chicken!! lol"

The Original Kadok's

★★★★☆ 4 (117) • $$

"I have mixed reviews about this place. There's been times where the food is good and there's been a few times recently where I question the quality of their food. I mainly get their lumpia and years past it used to be piping hot when I order. They would freshly fry it and I didn't mind the wait. Lately, when I come here, they give it to me right away. I understand they want efficiency, but my lumpia was more like room temperature when I got it. I don't know if it's even fresh or was it from the previous night. I wish there was an option for me to ask for freshly fried ones."

Meryenda

★★★★★ 4.9 (17) • $$

"Whether you have the munchies from smoking weed or need some carby salty goodness with a beer on a hot day, Meryenda has got you covered. Typically, a pandesal (pan de sal) is a staple bread in the Philippine culture that soaks up liquid really well. I've seen old filipino geezers eating it with their coffee at local filipino coffee shops, so when I checked out this food truck, I was curious. I went to one of their collab events at Humble Sea and after crushing several dranks, I wobbled over to Meryenda and ordered up a Longanisa w/ chips. Longanisa is like their version of a sweet chorizo. While smothered with sweet mayo, then smackled with scallions and a thin carpaccio slice of tomato, it brought this cute sammich altogether. Though I ate all these sammiches, I saw that they also served dessert too! Looked like a piping hot green colored pandan coconut bread putting made of the same pandesal bread. It might put me out if I ate that! Observing the people around me, it looked like dessert was made for sharing between two or if you're a fat a s s like me, you'll indulge in all of it!Definitely going back and recommending this to others who like trendy new spots in the bay."

Ling Nam Starbread

★★★★☆ 3.9 (271) • $$

"This is the best star bread location ever!! I've been to the Concord, Vallejo, Fairfield, and Union City location and they all do not compare. Every time I come here the bread is always nice and warm. I love the freshness of the bread and how it's perfectly baked each time 5/5. The location is in a busy plaza and the store itself it very tiny. They have a lot of other things that they sell but overall it's always a good experience here."

Tribu Grill

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (697) • $$

"Craving and looking for some comfort & sit-down Filipino cuisine in Union City that's just off the Nimitz?! Don't trek too far from the exit, as this location is as convenient as it can be - with ample parking & an ambient/spacious dining atmosphere that awaits you & your loved ones!Order the crispy pata ($19.99) -- deep-fried pig foreleg -- and you'll be greeted with a platter of bones, one that resembles a ham hock and another curious set that my friends and I reasoned must form a porcine heel (which our waiter confirmed). It's not for the squeamish. But the meat clinging to the bones is delicious, the cartilage delightfully chewy. A soy-vinegar-garlic dipping sauce heightens the meaty flavor without taking over.Typical of Filipino cuisine, the restaurant is a carnivore's delight: Meat, poultry or seafood makes an appearance in every item on the menu except the rice and desserts. You have to have a feast every time that you must dine here!A glorious way to kick off the meat parade is with the pork sisig appetizer ($12.99), pig face that's been roasted, grilled, then chopped fine. The cartilage lends a great al dente texture, and the lemon wedge that accompanies it cuts the fat. Eat it quickly, though: It congeals as it cools.Lumpiang Shanghai ($8.99), finger-size egg rolls, are crisp and full of flavor from the shrimp-pork-onion filling, though the sweet chili dipping sauce was a little too sweet.Sinigang ($12.99 - Pork / $17.00 - Bangus) is a comforting potage of meat, eggplant, tomatoes, radish and green beans in a clear broth soured with tamarind. The Filipino palate favors sour, so medium-sour was quite tart, but the beef is tender, the vegetables nicely cooked.Tribu's Adobo ($12.99) is a relatively dry version of the Philippines' national dish, with luscious chunks of pork and chicken coated with well-balanced vinegar, soy and pepper. Inihaw na Bangus ($18.99) arrives grilled & well-done, & well-cooked fillet of milkfish -- considered the Philippines' national fish -- in a soy-lemon marinade.Dinner is balanced by a few vegetable stews and salads, including pinakbet ($13.99), a lightly sauced, pleasant melange of kabocha squash, eggplant, green beans and bitter melon.For a meal-in-a-bowl, try binagoongan fried rice ($11.99 - small, $18.99 - large), rice mixed with fermented shrimp paste and topped with scrambled egg, fried pork, fresh tomatoes and mangoes. The sweet mango, salty rice and crispy pork work together well. The muskiness of the shrimp paste caught me off guard, but by the end of the bowl I was loving it.Desserts at Tribu Grill stay the course. Its Filipino sundae, or halo-halo ($7.49), is a fun jumble of textures and flavors from crunchy shaved ice, creamy ube (purple yam) ice cream, toothsome sweet beans, sticky caramel and firm gelatin cubes.Unlike many restaurants serving lesser-known cuisines, Tribu Grill makes itself accessible to outsiders. Its decor is welcoming, with huge windows overlooking the hustle & bustle of Union Landing, cheery orange and yellow walls, and an open kitchen. The menu describes the dishes well, and servers are friendly and patient about answering questions from non-Filipinos. Sometimes, however, they're a bit too laid-back. Once our plates of different entrees sat on our table until after dessert arrived; on another night, we had to flag down a waitress to receive our bill, and get checked out.While Tribu Grill, to its credit, doesn't let U.S. influences water down its cuisine, there is one way the restaurant is quintessentially American: It offers huge portions. Nearly every party leaves their table with a few meals' worth of fine Filipino fare. Come hangry & leave happy!"

Max's Restaurant - Milpitas

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (670) • $$

"No matter how skinny their chicken have become, there is no denying that the taste and crispiness of their fried chicken is still incomparable. Those chickens must have really built this house! IYKYK.P.S. I hope they never run out of banana ketchup (due to recent change in FDA restrictions)."

7 Mile House

★★★★☆ 4.2 • $$

"Cannot give this place less then 5 stars. It was one of my old haunts for nearly 8 1/2 years. I worked at Monster Cable and our HQ was in Brisbane. 7 Mile was a company favorite for every major sporting event (SF Giants WS run 2010, 2012, 2014; SF 49ers SB run 2012; GS Warriors Finals 2014 - 2015). It was also a place to celebrate milestones (birthdays, employee anniversaries, farewells, etc). I hadn't been back since late 2015 and it was so wonderful to see the joint hadn't changed. I heard there were some struggles post-pandemic. So it was awesome see they were doing well.My current company participated in a volunteer event at the Cow Place and afterwards our VP took us to lunch at 7 Mile. I felt of wash of nostalgia as I sat down and looked around--everything was the same (maybe newer TVs).For the unenlightened, the owners are Filipino and they offer several Filipino dishes. You know this guy ordered the Pork Adobo. I didn't take pictures of everyone's dish, because I didn't want to be THAT GUY at a compay event. But, check out my dish. It is as good as it looks."

"Love this truck! Filipino fusion. This truck came to my work and oh my do I hope they come back!!!BIRRIA LUMPIA! Does anything else need to be said?It is $15 for 6 pieces of birria lumpia with consume. The flavor was delicious and the meat was lean. The birria had a great rich flavor and the fry oil for the lumpia was fresh. No aftertaste like you often get from food trucks. My co worker had placed an order earlier and they had left one item out by accident. I went to get it for her and they apologized profusely. They made her a fresh plate and even gave us an extra order of lumpia to apologize for the error. That is above and beyond service. Great customer service, delicious tasting food, and two of my favorite foods fused together successfully = 1 completely satisfied tummy!I can't wait to experience the other items on their menu!"

"We love coming here for the turon! It runs out quickly, so if you want to order a bunch - highly recommend calling in ahead of time. We've done a 30 piece order with a 2 hour heads up in the past. But it really depends if they have the ingredients available.I've never done a sit-down, but it has cozy seating.We normally order A-la-carte to go. They have small, medium and large and the price will vary depending if it's meat or vegetable."

Lechon Manila

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (168) • $

"I love coming to lechon manila simply for one of their offerings: roast lechon. Growing up eating roast lechon at parties, I always hit a bit of a craving for the crispy skin that kawali just doesn't hit the spot for--and lechon manila is one of the only spots I know of that will sell roast lechon by the pound. For just 2 people, buying a whole roast pig just isn't a financially sound investment, so coming here is a great choice. Lechon Manila is located directly next to SK donut in the Alvarado Place strip mall. (I always find myself ordering a dozen cronut holes as a reward for making the trip out here). Its very easy to find parking, since the shared parking lot is huge and usually not packed. Upon entering, you'll find a pretty traditional cafeteria-style restaurant, as most surrounding Filipino restaurants are organized. Lines vary by time of day, usually around 10-11AM the line will be out the door, later in the day -- when most of the dishes are beginning to run low the lines are shorter. You'll want to come early if you want really crispy and juicy roast lechon. Be sure to eat it quickly, because lechon does tend to get a bit hard and chewy if it gets cold/steams up. Roast Lechon: This is my favorite dish here, and one of the sole reasons I come to the restaurant. Most of the time, when I order 3-4LB trays of lechon I'd say 85% of the skin is crispy like a potato chip, and the rest is really crunchy, like chicharon. If you come later in the day, you may get a bit of the harder crunchy skin -- just be sure to come early!Sisig: This is one of those dishes that thrives really great at lechon restaurants. I love sisig when its super crispy and packed with tangy/spicy flavors. Definitely a dish you won't want to miss from here."

So close to home and Def need to be more cultured in how amazing Filipino food is.They also have live performances, some locals, and some who even fly all the way from the Philippines! Def a mabuhay spot!"

Ongpin

★★★☆☆ 3 (502) • $$

"Ongpin Restaurant is a gem in the heart of the Bay Area, and it unquestionably earns its status as one of the oldest and most cherished Filipino restaurants around. Ongpin feels like a warm embrace of home, with aroma of authentic Filipino dishes that have been around since 1994.Beyond the exceptional food, Ongpin is a haven for the community. It's where people come together, celebrate, and create lasting memories. The atmosphere resonates with the warmth and camaraderie that make Ongpin more than just a restaurant; it's a home away from home.The staff's hospitality is unmatched, embodying the spirit of Filipino warmth.For anyone seeking an authentic taste of the Philippines this is the go to place"

Fili Taste Grill & Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.7 (16)

"If you've been fortunate to go visit a matriarchal Filipino home, you know that you'll NEVER go hangry. They'll feed you until your pants seams bust and send you home with Tupperware of leftovers.Then, the next time you visit, she'll say, you've gotten "fluffy"....but in a blunt way. Several months ago, I called Pampanguena Cuisine for a lumpia tray and the phone just kept ringing. Come to find out, they closed and Fili Taste Grill & Restaurant took its place in in early June 2024 . They're open for takeout and dine-in. No outdoor seating. While there was no lola onsite, dining at Fili Taste felt like an extension of their home and we left with plenty of leftovers. M E N UFilipino Fare - Array of skewers and a handful of a la carte dishes: Sizzling Sisig, Fili [Grilled] Chicken, Lechon Kawali (fried pork belly), Grilled Jumbo Squid, and Bitter Melon Soup. Combo plates available during lunch from 11 AM - 3 PM: Two proteins/lumpia plus rice for $14.99. If you spend over $35 for two people, it's FREE unlimited rice. Order at the counter (pick your skewers), seat yourself, and pay after you're finished eating. F O O D* SKEWERS ($2 each): https://tinyurl.com/4z8szcb7- Pork BBQ - Chicken BBQ - Pork Stomach - Hot Dog - Chicken Feet - Chicken Heart (x2) - sorry no pic- Kwek-Kwek: Battered + deep fried quail eggs Fili is one of two Filipino restos in the bay to have such a large array of skewers (like Dollar Hits in LA). Most of the skewers are brushed with a savory sweet glaze and perfect if you're looking to get a good sampling of proteins. * Inihaw na Pusit: Grilled Jumbo Squid ($14.99): https://tinyurl.com/mryfcde7Tender and pleasantly chewy with a nice char. Make sure to grab some housemade soy-vinegar-chili dipping sauce from their condiment station. * Fili Chicken, Inasal-Style ($14.99): https://tinyurl.com/msn9ta3pEveryone has their own recipe/variation but inasal chicken is usually marinated with vinegar, calamansi, lemongrass, garlic, and ginger...and annatto for that red hued skin. The whole chicken legs were juicy and lightly seasoned so the soy-vinegar-chili dipping sauce came in handy. * Silver Lechon Kawali: Deep Fried Pork Belly ($14.99): https://tinyurl.com/47dfeb9xFav items of the night! Golden brown and crunchy bursting with juicy porky goodness. It was bit oversalted for me but balanced when dipped into the accompanying sweet mang tomas sauce. * Soup of the Day - Bulalo: Filipino Beef Shank Soup ($19.99): https://tinyurl.com/pkdbcxrwLeast fav item - while the bulalo looked ginormous, it was mainly a huge bone with marrow and two small pieces of beef. The beef was still tough, and the bok choy and corn were undercooked. It just needed to be simmered longer to achieve a rich, soulful broth. * Garlic Rice (Free for spending over $35 for two)No Filipino meal is complete without rice and I was happy the garlic rice was part of the min. spending freebie. S E R V I C EFriendly, warm, pinoy hospitality with prompt food service. A M B I A N C ENo-frills casual dining area with 7-8 tables.P A R K I N GStreet parking can be challenging during peak hours. Overall, if you're looking for tasty Filipino eats with warm hospitality in the city, give this new local small business a try!"

Jam’s Kitchen

"More 4.5 because i believe still they need more improvements... like a bigger space so that they can have more diners to try their food. I am not much of a filipino restaurant eater because I grew up with my mom's cooking and was eventually helping her out in our once catering business in the Philippines. But man... my parents, who first tried this place, gave their thumbs up and so like a good daughter, i tried hesitantly... and the dinakdakan bowled me over. It was authentic and just like the character in ratatouille... sparks flew in first bite and my childhood memories came rushing back. If food does that to you... you know its good. I tried their other offerings. The beef kaldereta, papaitan, sisig and buko pandan were on point. Being ilocano, u can't make me eat somebody else's pinakbet outside family - unless your ilocano too. Their prices are affordable and the servings are hefty for the price. I am still picky with my filipino dishes but if I would recommend a place... go here."

"The layout was nice, clean and set up is classy, and art showing the Philippines is well made.You will need to go inside the Lions shopping area and go all the way at the back to find this hidden gem. Great selection of dishes to choose from, it is food place to take family or friends since it is family style sharing of food. We started off with the fried eggplant with fresh vegetables and lumpiang shanghai is a must in any Filipino dish to order. Perfectly fried and taste is delicious. We then had Chicken Inasal (bbq chicken), garlic fried rice, the crispy palabok had great presentation, and lechon kawali was seasoned well and meat was flavorful, crispy, and came out juicy.The food was all cooked well and the quality and taste was great will definitely come back to try other dishes.Dessert we ordered was turon a la mode was hoping they still had mango ice cream. I would definitely try the halo halo0 next time.Service overall was super amazing and they were helpful and attentive. There is a buffet option on Sat and Sun during lunch definitely stop by to try that."

I had the pancit, chicken wings (was the best I tasted) and the lechon kawali. My order was not oily at all and it was seasoned right. The pancit had crispy fresh vegetables, the lechon and chicken wings was served hot, tasted juicy and crunchy. They accommodated my seafood allergy which made me happy more.

"Filipino food that provides homey vibes and great service. No wait to be seated and quick turnaround of the food once ordered. Pictured: sizzling sisig. Very flavorful pork with great additions of onion and garlic bits that enhance the dish. Love the pieces of lime if you choose to squeeze some on and makes the dish pop even more. Doesn't come with rice but would highly recommend adding the garlic fried rice plate that you can share with others. Was surprised with the quantity of food provided given the price point and had some to take home. Hit the spot when I was craving Filipino food. 8/10 will come again!"

"Not very experienced with Filipino food but I dare to say that lumpia is perfectly made and it's gonna be hard to find a better one. The pork filling is well seasoned and so juicy. Eat it while it's hot and there's still soup inside. The wrapper is very crunchy. This lumpia is addicting and worth a trip for it alone.Tried a couple other dishes. They are good but just not impressive to me. I do like the pancit, simple taste but really good. Will come back to try their rice plates."
