Authentic Filipino Comfort Food – A True Hidden Gem! ✨
I am so glad my partner introduced me to this spot! Luzviminda Grocery and Restaurant offers an incredibly authentic experience that feels like a home-cooked meal. Even though I only managed to snap a photo of the dessert, the flavors of every dish we ordered left a lasting impression.
The Main Courses:
We’ve visited twice now, and the consistency is impressive.
Shrimp Ginataan: On our first visit, I tried this for the first time. The shrimp were perfectly simmered with squash and string beans in a rich, creamy coconut milk. It was savory, comforting, and fresh.
Pancit Malabon: For my second visit, I opted for these rice noodles. The combination of celery, eggs, shrimp, and tinapa flakes created a unique and delicious texture that I highly recommend.
Crispy Kare-Kare: My partner is officially obsessed with this dish—he ordered it both times! The beef tripe and crispy pork belly in that signature peanut sauce were a huge hit.
The Highlight:
You cannot visit Luzviminda without getting the Halo-Halo and grab some snacks to go. It is the perfect way to end the meal—colorful, refreshing, and easily my favorite part of the experience!
Verdict:
Whether you are looking for a hearty Filipino dinner or just a quick grocery run for authentic ingredients, this place is a must-visit. The staff is welcoming, and the food is top-tier. I highly recommend it!

This was my first time trying Filipino food. I tried bbq chicken and pork skewers and were so tasty, the sauce was sweet and the meet was juicy and tender. I also tried the lumpiang shanghai, which reminded me of a combination of a mini spring roll (breading) and dumpling (meat inside). It was extremely delicious and a nice snack to munch on with my skewers. I ordered my meal online, so next time I will go into the restaurant and dine in.

Luzviminda has become one of our go-to spots for takeout, and it consistently delivers. Their food passes my mom’s test for good Filipino cooking — and she’s Cebuano, so that’s saying something. The flavors are authentic, comforting, and remind us of home.
The staff is always pleasant and respectful, which makes every visit feel welcoming. As for the food, their lechon is some of the best I’ve had anywhere: crispy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The grilled pork belly is another must-order — especially when you pair it with vinegar the way it’s meant to be eaten.
We keep coming back for a reason, and I’d absolutely recommend Luzviminda to anyone looking for truly solid Filipino food in the area.

This is one of my favorite Filipino restaurant. I go at least two times out of the week. It reminds me of my wife cooking when I’m home in the Phillipines. I would choose my wife cooking over Luzviminda. This is really a good spot if you’re looking for good Filipino food.

Ordered palabok, chicken sinigang, tofu with black bean sauce, pork longanisa, pork bbq sticks, grilled lechon, and pork adobo. Everything tasted great and was freshly made! Hope they can hire an extra staff member or two to help take orders from customers and clean the tables so more people can enjoy the food
Another good flavorful option is their bistek

It’s my 3rd time ordering take out from here and its my first ever bad experience. Not with the food but with the service, the 1st two times I was there it’s always been nice but this time it wasn’t.
I ordered food for pick up, I get there and this short Filipina Aunty with glasses at the register did not greet me, no hello or anything. Just side eyes me, enters in my order and then finally asks if I am paying with card. I paid with card, no thank you or anything just a slight gesture towards the bag.
I drove home and brushed it off but come to find out we are missing our leche flan. I tried calling at 6:55pm but they close at 7pm so I’m assuming they ignore calls. For a Filipino owned restaurant, you would assume the customer service is superb and top notch but no, it doesn’t seem to be all the time. I love Filipino food and Filipino people, I married into a Filipino family and I love the culture. But for someone to just not greet me or anything at all as a customer and then come to find out missing a $9 leche flan is unacceptable.
Update – Rommel reached out to me to clarify the issue and has even offered to make my next order free of charge. Amazing customer service and very responsive! Thank you Rommel!

Absolutely amazing Filipino food. Great food with fast service. Staff are very friendly and take the time to explain things to you. This was our first time here and will definitely be going back. The menu is broken down into favorites, breakfast, and seafood. We ordered from their favorites menu and there were still lots we wanted to try.
We ordered the pork sisig, lachon, garlic rice, egg rolls, and breakfast meal with sausage and runny egg. Everything was so filled with flavor. The lachon was crispy and not too salty. The pork sisig was so packed with juicy flavor and paired so well with the rice. You must have rice with this as it is quite greasy. It is also quite heavy due to the glutinous cartilage but so worth it. The eggrolls came with this sweet dipping sauce and also quite tasty.
Conveniently located off route 1 north in the same complex as Favorites. Plenty of parking but do go early or during an off hour as seating is quite limited. We arrived around 11:30 on a Saturday and around 12, it started to get very busy. There is also a small Filipino supermarket attached.

It’s a restaurant with grocery store.
The interesting thing for me was the choice of buying raw seafood by the pound and then choosing the sauce for the final dish.
We chose 1 lb of shrimp with soy sauce lemon juice and something else. The dish was not very well developed and the shrimps were not cleaned.
The oxtail curry with peanut sauce was very nice. The beef stew was good too.
The desert, cassava pie, was exceptional.

Good: lumpia, pork sig sig, leche flan
Ok: oxtail kare kare, porkbelly in sauce (binakdongan?)
Food was solid but nothing stood out. Nothing is served with rice and I feel like it would have improved it greatly. The pork sig sig is meat only which makes it very collagenous and rich.
The porkbelly in sauce I’m not 100% sure which item it was and came recommended by the staff. The sauce had lime which was lovely but the porkbelly was a little overcooked and dry and it had very overcooked pieces of liver in it (I wouldn’t have minded the liver taste if it wasn’t so overcooked and dry)
I forgot a picture of the leche flan but it was very firm but creamy and not curdled so props to them. The caramel sauce has what I felt was a orange/citrus flavor which we enjoyed
Lumpia was good but not as amazing as I had hoped and know it can be.

Great food, you get to choose your own seafood and they will cook it for you how you like it. Highly recommend the grilled squid and grilled pompano. Made me feel like I’m back home.
