Really nice experience, the food is a good representation of Filipino cuisine, definitely recommend going here. I wouldn’t recommend getting the plain white rice, it wasn’t fully cooked, maybe was an off day. The garlic rice was fragrant and compliments the sigisig. The staff were nice, however it took a while to get the bill. Great experience overall.

This is probably the most authentic Filipino Food our family have had since we moved here 10 years ago.
The food was definitely made with love like how you would get it from your mom or auntie’s cooking. There’s a certain warmth in that first bite where it transports you back in the Philippines. The staff and co-owners were also very friendly and made sure that everything was to our satisfaction.
We’re only visiting SoCal but if you’re looking for a place to make you feel like home, or if you’re looking into trying Filipino food, this is definitely the place to go. We’re already excited and planning to come back here next time we’re in the area!

Manila Inasal is a great spot if you’re craving Filipino food with a relaxed, welcoming vibe in Silver Lake.
I ordered to-go during my visit, but even then, I could already feel the good ambiance of the place. They had live acoustic music, which really adds to the charm and makes it a nice place to chill, hang out, or enjoy a casual night out.
The food is definitely the highlight. The pork tocino is a must-try—flavorful, slightly sweet, and different from the usual versions I’ve had elsewhere. The pork sisig was also very good, with a unique taste that sets it apart from other Filipino restaurants. The flavors are rich, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care.
If there’s one small downside, it would be the price versus portion size. The servings felt a bit small for the price, and overall it is on the pricier side, which I did notice from the menu. That said, the quality and taste of the food make up for it—I really have no complaints when it comes to flavor.
What made the experience even better was the staff. Everyone was friendly, and the person who took care of my order was especially wonderful—very warm and accommodating. I honestly thought he might be the owner or manager because of how attentive and professional he was.
Overall, I’d definitely come back, whether for a quick bite, to relax, or to enjoy the live music.
If you’re around Silver Lake and want to try Filipino food that tastes different (in a good way), Manila Inasal is worth checking out.

Delicious meal at Manila Inasal! My friend and I split the hummus appetizer and ordered a carafe of mango juice for the table. I ordered the pork belly sisig with a side of white rice and the portion was generous – saved the leftovers for the next day. Owners checked on us towards the end of the meal. The live music was excellent (there were multiple birthdays celebrated that night). The table was a bit small for two but that’s my only complaint. Parking is easy in the subterranean garage adjacent to the restaurant.

Quite delicious “modern” take on traditional Filipino food. Same home-cooked taste but with innovative presentation and ingredients. Everything we ate was 10/10!
– Fine dining prices in more of a casual environment with superb service.
– A bit cold if you sit near the entrance.
– They are busy so recommend reservations.
– They also do to-go orders.

Everything here was a hit- from the warm welcome set by the owners who take the time to converse with all the guests, to the inventive take on traditional Filipino dishes. Manila Inasal strikes a balance of maintaining the familiarity and atmosphere of Filipino restaurants I went to growing up here in CA, while also inviting newcomers to share in our customs and cuisine. The food is delicious but what sets this place apart is the hospitality, a value deeply embedded into our culture, and what makes eating here feel like a real fine dining experience.

I really loved this place! The staff were incredibly hospitable! They were so kind, friendly, and helpful. They even surprised us with dessert because it was our anniversary, which made the experience extra special. The food was amazing and tasted like the food i grew up in in the philippines. Ambiance was also great and loved that there was live music! We will definitely be coming back and bringing friends to try the place 🙂

As part of my brother’s birthday celebration, we decided to try the new Manila Inasal in the Silverlake district. Our order included the oxtail kare-kare with macadamia sauce, eggplant with crabmeat, pork sisig, and, of course, noodles for good luck—the only option being the bam-i pancit.
My first experience with Manila Inasal was during the post-pandemic period when they were still operating out of a shared kitchen in Silverlake. We ordered their signature chicken inasal, which, unfortunately, was one of the driest versions I’ve ever had. I was hoping that with their new dine-in location, things would improve.
Sadly, this visit was still underwhelming. The deconstructed kare-kare lacked the rich, nutty depth that defines one of the Philippines’ most beloved dishes. The pork sisig was crunchy and flavorful, but the sauce could’ve used more kick to balance the richness. The tortang talong (eggplant omelette) with crabmeat had a strong crab flavor that overpowered the well-prepared eggplant.
Overall, Manila Inasal seems to cater mainly to a Filipino palate, with prices leaning toward the higher end for Filipino restaurants. I genuinely hope the place finds its footing, as competition in the area is tough. My wish for newer Filipino restaurants is that they continue to evolve and draw in a broader audience—beyond the Jollibee crowd—because aside from Kuya Lord, there’s still room for more great Filipino dining experiences in Los Angeles

My wife and I were hungry and decided to drive all the way from North Hollywood to try this place after one of our staff raved that their Crispy Lechon Kawali was “out of this world.” And honestly, it lived up to the hype! Perfectly crispy, flavorful, and absolutely heavenly.
The Chicken Inasal was also spot on and very close to the authentic taste you’d find at Manokan Country in Bacolod. And dare I say, their Halo-halo gives Razon’s a real run for its money, it’s on that same level of goodness if not better.
The ambiance is cozy yet posh, and the place is impressively clean. The wait staff deserve a shoutout too. Very friendly, accommodating, and proactive.
We were tempted to order two more dishes, but we knew we couldn’t finish everything, so we opted for takeout instead.
My only gripe? The Pistachio Sans Rival vanished from the dessert plate within five minutes, pretty sketchy if you ask me
We’ll be back for sure! I wanted to test if their sofa table is comfy I’ll update this review along with some of the menu we haven’t tried yet.
Parking: Lots of free parking available for customers in the basement.

My wife and I were on vacation and found this place. She was born in the Philippines and always takes me to try filipino food wherever we go. During the meal we both agreed that this was the best filipino restaurant we have ever been to. Chicken sisig and pork belly inasal and shrimp laing. And for the dessert ube brownie. It was all great tasting and great presentation. Omg those ube brownies. The owner was walking around talking to everyone which I like. He really seemed to care everyone had a great experience. He knows what he has. My wife and I wish him success. Hes doing filipino food at a high level. We killed the left overs in our motel later that night.
