Another Filipino shop part of the seafood city plaza in Milpitas! It offers both sweets and hot foods like fish, meats, and more. My mom got what she wanted with a large dessert platter for the holidays. It varies from $29 to their smallest platter to $65 for their largest platter. It's a small family shop and service was quick and easy. Can't wait to feast on the desserts!

High quality Filipino steam table combo plates and appetizers. Some items are best I have seen. Home style; everything made in house. Many restaurants buy frozen eggrolls from overseas or from wholesalers in the area. Low cost when they produce by thousands with automated production line. 1 ) Best veggie eggroll/lumpia I have ever seen. Large, not the standard 1in wide eggrolls. 3x as large. pi r squared so size means exponential cost difference in ingredients. Stuffed with cabbage, bean sprouts, 3mm sliced thin long beans, and melange of veggies. Like grandma style at home; makes the kids eat veggies. First time I have seen this in a restaurant. 2) maybe the best Turon in bay area: very distinct crunch. Not the standard brown sugar, banana, fry technique. They added an outer sugar layer to keep it crunchy and to prevent turon from getting soggy as it sits there. 3) never seen this in any other FF asian place, Grilled eggplant with distinct smoky flavor then battered and fried. Get texture of melt in mouth silky eggplant with intense bbq smoky flavor. Delightful. Eggs mellow out the texture and smoky flavor. Stunning experience. Owner on site. Hands on with other chefs/moms. Very personable. Named after owner's mom. Extremely large portion sizes. 1 item pinakbet rice plate: shrimp paste, eat the kabocha squash with skin, lechon, shrimp paste, eggplant, bitter melon. Very healthy. Simmered for long time. Small eating area; 4 stools. Boneless milkfish: nodoby serves this because of prep time. Owner kept on recommending it. Large portion. melt in mouth fish Catering business inside. Very high quality home style Filipino/Asian food. Not optimized for profit like Panda Express; optimized for quality with reasonable prices.2 locations, they have following.

I'd be wary of this place. I bought a platter of desserts and when I brought it home I found it had mold on many of the desserts and the sapin sapin was hard. Check the photos - see the mold we discovered on the products. I wish I didn't have to write this but someone can get really sick and serving moldy food to customers is concerning.

This location is located at the seafood city Plaza. We came on a busy Sunday and luckily they were able to still make us a tray. This is the best place to get Filipino desserts. They also have turo turo filipino.

Came by to get some Ukoy. 4 stars. Their ukoy has minimal batter and plenty of veggies, which I like. But only one shrimp. Wish they had more little shrimp in it. Goes for 4.50$ for one Ukoy but it's pretty filling and comes with garlic vinegar. They also have a variety of deserts like cassava cake (4 stars) and sweet rice desert. Their banana egg roll: 2.5 stars. Was ok. Not the best I've had. Wish it had some jackfruit inside. And the banana was a bit hard and not too soft. They sell some hot foods for lunch - a la cart or part of a meal. I didn't get any since I was not sure what anything was. They had plenty of variety of fish dishes as well.

Their lechon is absolutely delicious, and the authentic desserts are a true delight! I always make it a point to stop by whenever I'm in the area. Riz, the charming young man who works there, is a pleasure to chat with. It's wonderful to see young people so actively involved in their family's business. Thank you for always providing such a fantastic experience!

Recycled food. I ordered litson Togo..they push to sell old or recooked one while newly cooled they said it is pre ordered already. The one I bought taste bad like it was 2 or 3 days stock...smell n taste spoiled. The same with the 18 USD mix kakanin plate.. taste old. I don't recommend and will not come back here. They said food is new but it wasn't. Be careful of gastro problem.

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.

Just so happened to be at Seafood City for the first time in a while and noticed this shop. I was excited to see that they had my favorite Filipino desserts, so I bought some biko, espasol and palitaw and they tasted pretty good. The next day, I saw that there was mold all over the biko, so I threw everything away. What a huge waste of money, and it's not like these items were cheap.

Best veggie lumpia in Milpitas. Also their card reader was broken and I had to wait ten minutes, but they felt bad so they gave me my order for free. Excellent customer service. Thanks you Ima Kusina staff!
