Reviews
we ordered sisig, crispy pata and beef sinigang – all of which were promptly served: hot, crispy, delicious
we missed home-cooked meals and Karilagan delivered them. the place is simply decorated, and it gives a homey-vibe
with regard to the tip showing up in the bill: yes, we also got surprised on it. hope management would rethink about it as we would have given more (“,)
kudos!
Added food photo as proof. Amazing calamari. it’s so unfortunate that they choose to practice business in a dishonest manner.
– Crispy pata (5 stars, 2 shanks for $20): crispy pata is a double fried pork hock. The serving size for this dish at Karilagan is massive. It’s served with a delicious spiced vinegar sauce on the side.
– Sizzling sisig (4 stars, $13.95): sisig is pork chunks and some intestines cooked with garlic, onion, peppers on a sizzling plate. It’s delicious. Order this.
– Bulalo (4.5 stars, $18.00): bulalo is beef shank soup served with vegetables. If you want a soup to complement your other hearty Fiipino dishes, this is the dish to get!
– Sitaw kalabasa (4 stars, $14.00): this is shrimp and pork cooked in a spicy coconut milk with squash and green beans – it’s probably very different from other Filipino dishes you’ve tried and is a nice veggie dish to have on the side.
– Pancit miki bihon (4 stars, $12.50): this is a mix of egg and rice stick noodles). It’s a delicious combo!
This is a true sit down Filipino restaurant. Bring a group with you and enjoy these dishes!
Seafood Sinigang, soury tamarind broth could have used just a touch of sugar (or something) to cut through the prominence of acid.
Crispy Pata pork trotter, well-cut and fried. Pakbet Ilocano, though good, could have benefited from some coconut milk.
A shock, the bill came with “service charge” already written in. While we normally leave a standard 20%, the waitstaff here seems more content with 15%, and so that’s all we left.
The food itself was delicious! I didn’t know Oxtail (my friend’s favorite) was a Filipino dish, but it’s always a treat. For a vegetable to balance it out, we got banana blossoms with “Dilit” (a small fish). Both were great, although when I saw the blossoms come out in an unrecognizable melange I was intimidated- something I can’t usually say about food!
All in all, a great experience and if I ever end up in South City I’ll give it another go.
