We ordered two three-choice plates. I got mine with pancit, dinuguan, and Thelma’s special, plus another plate to share. We also got a side of Shanghai lumpia and adobo fried rice.
The prices were extremely reasonable for the huge portions. I couldn’t even finish my plate and still had half left to take home! The food tasted homey and comforting, like a real home-cooked meal. The adobo fried rice was flavorful and the lumpia was crispy and tasty.
There was no wait, and everything came out fresh and hot. Definitely a place I’d come back to for delicious Filipino comfort food and generous portions!

I ordered the lechon special almost at their closing time. Is it supposed to be crunchy? because I kept looking for soft meats but couldn’t find one. It seemed like they gave me scraps or the old meat. It’s disappointing because I wasn’t feeling well already and was looking forward to eat this. The older staff was rude as well.

Today Sunday October 5,2025 was our very first time eating at the restaurant. My little family decided to eat here after church because of the reviews I seen on TikTok. Let’s just say WE WERE ALL VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!!! Not only did the food we ordered not have any flavor or love put into it but our waitress was very RUDE and her facial expressions didn’t help. She’s a brown haired short ponytailed woman. I was patient when I asked her for Halo Halo being all our first time trying it. She looked disgusted like why am I ordering it?!.
We will NOT BE RETURNING AND WILL TELL OTHERS of our bad experience. We like Pilipino food but will once again as I stated, not returning to this poorly, discriminating restaurant. Whoever gave them a 10/10 on TikTok you can clearly now see had the meal for free.
Another thing, if that waitress could smile and be friendly to everyone else then how come we weren’t given the same treatment?!. 0 out of 5 is what I would give this place!!!!!!

Coming from Colorado, there is no Filipino establishments and made me miss my family’s cooking back in NJ. This is the closest it’s been to having a home cooked meal! This was some one the best Filipino food I’ve had at a restaurant!

This is and has been my favorite Filipino restaurant for a long time. This is one of those hole-in-the-wall and not-so-great decor but the food makes up for it in spades.
They are know for their Thelma’s Special which is their version of Lechon Kawali. Crispy pork, tomatoes, and onions tossed in their special sauce.
It’s a guilty since as its a fatty dish, which I like to call a heart attack special. S00000 GOOD!
Pretty much all the food I have had here is great from adobo fried rice, Thelma’s special, sari sari, pancit, Gizantes, etc.
I used to be a regular when I lived near by, but now I am a townie. So now a days I sometimes go out of my way just to go here because it’s so good. Highly recommended.

We had the Pork Tocino which is so wonderfully flavored it makes the old standard “ham and eggs” seem bland by comparison. I ordered the chicken arrozcaldo, which is exactly what my tummy needed this morning. Note that the photo is minus the onions and fried garlic because that’s how I requested it.
I also recommend the Pumpkin Guisado; healthy and flavorful.
The service was prompt and efficient, even though the restaurant was busy at 7:30 a.m.
I gave the atmosphere five stars because Thelma’s is exactly what a Filipino restaurant should be like. We had a great breakfast

Ordered take-out for dinner – two choice plate. Food portions seemed smaller and tasted differently from the past (may be because it been awhile since eating their food). Parking can get a bit hard to find at lunch/dinner since they share the parking lot with other business that also serve food, etc. It is helpful to have someone run inside while waiting for an opening or parked on the side.
They no longer have their buffet set-up. Do have alot of tables if you want to dine-in.

Whoever Thelma is, she deserves a kiss. We knew this was the spot when it was the only busy restaurant on the block and full of local families. The server was so funny and sweet and everything we ordered was phenomenal, to the point we ordered takeout for later mid-meal. The lechon was mega crispy, the lumpia comes out piping hot, the pumpkin green bean a crowd favorite, the combo meals a great deal, and halo-halo amply abundant. Get ready for kanak attack after
