The servings were generous, and to my surprise, they even gave me a discount I wasn’t expecting. The ambience and service reflected that warm Filipino hospitality. It felt like being back home.
They also have pastries, and we couldn’t resist trying the ube bread and cassava cake. Both were absolutely delicious.
For those with dietary restrictions, it’s best to ask the staff about ingredients since some Filipino dishes may include soy sauce, fish sauce, or pork. The restaurant is kid-friendly and wheelchair accessible which makes it a great spot for families.
Overall, it’s a wonderful place to enjoy authentic Filipino food and hospitality.
We had been to the other Fil Cuisine location twice and were disappointed both times, so expectations were cautious. This visit started off strong, though. We were greeted right away by an amazing waitress—friendly, funny, and very upfront. She warned us that regular portions are already massive and family size would be super-sized. She was absolutely right.
When the food came out, we were shocked by how large the portions were. The waitress came back with a playful “I told you so,” which made us laugh.
Food-wise, it was hit or miss:
– Ginisang munggo was delicious—my husband finished the entire bowl.
– Mixed pancit was bland; definitely squeeze lemon and add more seasoning.
– Pork adobo fried rice tasted like garlic fried rice—no real adobo flavor. Good garlic rice.
– Papaitan was Tagalog-style (no bile or liver) and was pretty good. Its intentional flavored is intended to taste sour which I like.
– Ube halaya came out fresh and hot and was excellent = ube fudge.
– Hot tea turned out to be chamomile, which we didn’t expect and didn’t enjoy.
We had plenty of leftovers to take back to the hotel. Several dishes needed condiments or seasoning help since flavors were muted. Easy fix so no worries.
The restaurant itself is spacious, comfortable, and great for big families. Our waitress was attentive and funny. Décor is inviting, and the ladies who came out from the kitchen to check on us were friendly and chatty. We try to support local businesses, and while this isn’t a slam dunk for flavor, the service, portions, and welcoming atmosphere make it worth trying—as long as expectations are managed.
My Japanese friend loved the Kare kare…I did too, although it’s lacking the tripe.
They don’t have fresh lumpia, which is one of my favorite. All in all, we were all satisfied. I recommend this place.
2. Food quality and presentation was not as expected. We’ve eaten here about 6 times previously and always loved the food thats why we kept coming back. Pandesal is not the same. I always looked forward to their dessert but not this time.
3. Atmosphere felt empty. Restroom was filthy. I had to ask one of the few workers if someone will be cleaning it. Floors were all wet and toilet was filthy.
4. They only accepted cash for payment so we had to go to the mini store next door to get cash. When we paid the cashier gave us the total then asked to keep the change because she forgot to add the service fee. Which was fine but when she gave me the receipt so i can verify it wasnt detailed looked just like an order receipt. I didnt want to hold up the line so i just took it and left. We were trying to add things up on our way home and cant seem to add up.
I will definitely not be going back for a long while. Im assuming its under different ownership but they have alot of fixing to do.
Question: are points has expiration? I haven’t ordered in awhile and my 1000+ points is gone.
