Lumings

I had a chicken stew and a beef dish. I hadn't tried Philippino before, so I was eager to try a few. They were served with rice, and were absolutely delicious. The young lady who served me was very kind and patient, as I plowed questions at her about each selection.

One of the best Filipino Restaurants here in Maryland. Considering the price and the portion of food you will get, you are really getting what you paid for. This place is similar with Filipino street restaurants we called "turo-turo" (point-point) where you see the food in front of you and point what you want. They have variety of options from viand, desserts, bread and more. It is a self-service aside from the serving of the food. Their staff is usually friendly and easy to approach.The place is simple. Either you want to eat outdoor or indoor. Not much of a chair but still have a chance to dine in.

I visited on a Saturday around 3:30pm. From the moment I parked until after I finished my meal and left, the front door was consistently revolving with patrons, majority looked like regulars. There were quite a bit of Filipino families and individuals that ordered while I was there so if I had to rate the quality on authenticity, I'd say they nailed it. I told the young lady it was my first time visiting and I asked her what everything was and she was polite the entire time as she explained the dishes. The meals are served cafeteria style and some things are made to order such as the fried pork I wanted but the smallest size was 1lb. Since I was by myself I didn't want to bother but next time I'll bring someone or my kids so they can share. I decided on the platter which was $11+ and a desert $6+ bringing my total to $18 and change. The platter consisted of rice and two entrees. I wanted to get something I was familiar with (chicken adobo) and an unfamiliar dish (a sliced pork and pork sausage in sweet tomato base sauce). Both were very good. The sausage was flavorful and what I would think was homemade. The desert was different but reminded me of a soupy warm rice pudding as far as taste but more-so coconut flavor. There were pieces of plantain and what I thought was sweet potato but it wasn't as well as another item that was chewy almost like a dumpling. I would get the desert again. I dined outside at the single four chaired table on the front porch of the restaurant and was unbothered except for the occasional fly or two. I would definitely visit again to try more authentic Filipino eats. For visuals, visit @CultivatedKeyEats on TikTok and IG

Customer service was top notch! Pork steak, flavorful and melt in your mouth tender!!! Chicken BBQ (not pictured) didn't make it home. One star taken, as pancit was a tad dry.

We enjoyed our visit and meal. Mang has more options than I am used to, but if you do not eat pork, options become very limited. In our case, we enjoyed some pork dishes we had not tried before. Food had a very familiar taste, a sort of homecooked meal. It's not overly seasoned yet with good flavor, but the sauces are a little greasy. Prices were reasonable. For two 2 entree meals and 2 drinks, we paid $23 plus tip (tip optional) Service was excellent; all our questions were answered with a smile on their face, and we shared our cultural similarities and felt welcome. The place quickly got busy with people who seemed regular, and service was similar to ours; it made us feel even better. It might not be the best spot for a large family gathering, but it is perfect for pick-up or a quick meal. Pro Tip: call ahead and order your lumpia; they will fry it as you order it.

The food was excellent and the lady was very helpful and assist me with ordering things that I had no clue what they were but just looking at them. She was telling me exactly what they were called. It's a super small family owned place so don't expect too much except super yummy Filipino food! I highly recommend this spot if you're ever near the Fort Washington area.

Went there for lunch a couple of weeks ago. I always feel nervous about going to different spots idk why...so I walked in and they have a buffet setup with different dishes. You get 2 meats and rice. So I ordered the Adobe chicken and curry chicken. The curry chicken was seasoned very well and very balanced. Very tasty! The abobo chicken was a little sweet, you could taste it in the sauce. Overall a good lunch bargain by today's standards for$10.

They operate out of a small house next door to Smoke shack Ribs on Livingston Road. We were actually getting ribs but I ran inside to see if they had sisig so I can try them out. They had a cafeteria style setup with several popular dishes to order from. They packaged the sisig in separate containers and had them sitting on a refrigerated shelf. I noticed they used more than just pork belly which I liked. Doesn't come with rice either. It tasted good, could have been a little more flavorful in my opinion. I would try something else next time I'm in the area but probably not make a special trip

Wow!I'm so glad this place came up on my Yelp feed while in the area. The restaurant is in the cutest building, an old house with plenty of parking.The food is already cooked so you can choose what you want behind the glass.The chicken adobo was the BEST I've ever had in my life! Even better than my mom's. They must have made it fresh, the chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce was simply divine. Soak it up with rice!BBQ skewers, menudo and calderetta were also clear winners.They also had meals-to-go in refrigerated containers to heat at home like palabok and sisig.Too bad it's about an hour drive but it would be worth it just for the flavors alone.FIVE stars!

I stop by yesterday but the entrance to the lot was closed; not sure they are out for time off or what. And can't get close enough to see any posts on the door.
