I met the owners and since I was in the area I stopped for take out. I ordered Asian BBQ bone in wings and Fish & Chips for my husband. I like to support local businesses. The food looked and tasted good. I remembered pics after I started eating my wings. Oh well. They were tasty. read more

I can't speak for anything else on the menu, but the halo halo and calamari were really disappointing and expensive for what they were. I had family visiting and they were craving halo halo on their last night here, so I found Backstreet Asia and drove them out here. We ordered the calamari first while waiting for dessert, but it was too salty. I had also ordered myself an ube ice cream while the other 3 got one halo halo for themselves -- all of which took a long time to come out, and we had to remind the servers twice about my ice cream. There weren't many other customers when we were there either. The ube ice cream ended up being 1 very small, stingy scoop, and my family was super disappointed when the halo halo arrived. It wasn't sweet at all and lacked many typical halo halo ingredients (the menu hadn't listed the ingredients so we assumed it would be there). When we asked for something to sweeten it like condensed milk, they said they didn't have it and only had syrup, which I found strange. We also had an uncomfortable interaction with the server too. In the end we brought the halo halo back home and added some of our own leche flan, buko pandan, and evaporated milk. It was disappointing we had to pay what we did for the taste we got. Maybe their other dishes are good, and I do think it's neat that they have a little setup for their occasional karaoke nights, but our experience with our orders and service were 2 stars read more

I am so disappointed. I love Filipino Food and really miss it since leaving California. That's why I was so excited when I found Backstreet Asia on Yelp. I couldn't wait to try their Lumpia an Adobo. I ordered through Yelp for delivery.The food arrived about 45 minutes later, still warm. That part of the process went flawlessly. The real disappointment was the food. I have had a lot of Chicken Adobo and know what it should taste like. It should have a garlicky soy flavor with the tang of vinegar. The chicken was so dry that it was like leather to tear and did not have the familiar flavors that I was looking for. It must have been in a warmer for hours. On to the Sisig. The chunks of pork looked larger in the photos. In reality, they were about the size of a pencil eraser and again, completely dried out. l The vegetable Pancit was okay but had only tiny shavings of vegetables that I ordered. The fried cauliflower was not too bad and a pretty good spin on cauliflower. The garlic rice was just okay and nothing special. Last, my favorite dish is Lumpia. While they were okay I didn't see any of the vegetable ingredients that I was accustomed to and they were smaller than I had enjoyed in the past. No sweet chili sauce was included. The high prices and small portion sizes were kind of the worst insult after such a disastrous meal. The Sisig was $17, Cauliflower $7, Chicken Adobo leg and thigh was $16, Pancit, was $10 and garlic fried rice was $5.00. The Lumpia was the most expensive and advertised as $9 for six. When selected, it is another $9 if you want it to be pork or chicken. That's $18 for six Lumpia. I ordered 12 for a total of $36.00. I had hoped that they were larger. With delivery fee, tax, tip it was over $130.00. For that price, we should have had lot's of leftovers, but didn't. Last, when clicking the link to their Website, I get an warning saying the site has been compromised. Perhaps the meal is better in the restaurant, but to me, not worth the price of delivery. read more

Oh my fishes the Lechon Kawaii was spectacular. The accompanying sauce is liver based and so good. The pork belly is fried and perfectly seasoned and salty. Just to die for! I couldn't wait to taste more so I also ordered Pancit Bihon and a large egg drop soup trusting I'd want some to take home for later! Even better than the good was chatting with the lovely couple that own this establishment. Their love story was so fun to hear! I highly recommend dropping in and exploring the flavors! I'm told the spice levels can get quite high (though I'm a sissy so kept everything mild). They apparently just some great events, comedy nights, and music weekly so definitely check them out. Just as I was about to leave they busted out karaoke so I stayed and ordered more flavors! The garlic rice was tasty with an enjoyable crunch. The cauliflower bites were great, lightly friend with a creamy sauce that had a bit of a kick. Finally the quail egg I tried was a bit of creamy deliciousness like a tiny devils egg inside a baby egg. Highly recommend! My only suggestion would be to upkeep the bathrooms read more

Backstreet Asia - Filipino Near Me - Avondale, Arizona

wanted to try this place for so long after reading all the positive reviews from Yelp. Sadly, all the positive reviews turned out to be the opposite. First off, the host/server, whoever that person is, she needs to be out of that place because she's going to be the main reason why people won't come back. She has no customer service. didn't even smile at once, didn't know what she's doing, and rude. Second, the bathroom is not only dirty, but it's nasty! 3rd. food is okay, I have nothing against it, just the portion is too small for the price. and maybe you guys need to specify in the menu that all the tocilog are only served in the morning. as a first-time customer, I assumed that all the common breakfast are served all day as they listed next to your main entrees. Lastly, I love the coziness and the vibe, but it's too hot inside. considering you came outside where it's 100ish degree already. read more

Seriously a hidden gem in Avondale. I stopped by with my spouse to check it out and was blown away by the wings and the items on the menu that they suggested. Everything was cooked perfectly and was just perfect. They were no busy either so that was super nice. I hope more people frequent this location so that stay in business. read more

What a treat to dine at Backstreet Asia. When visiting Phoenix, I always try to find the best Asian restaurants, and I'm surprised it took me this long. First, they have events and karaoke on the weekends. I so happened to come during the week. Boo... I met Lin, the chef/ owner, and she was very nice and personable. We chatted it up a bit. The restaurant is a pretty good size to host an event or dinner with a big group. Food: Crown Royal with the specialty Ice Pork Shanghai Lumpia Lechon Kawali / Fried Pork Belly Kare Kare The lumpia was ok, and I asked for vinegar instead of the sweet sauce. I like the acidic taste. The Kare Kare was a hit and I didn't even use the bogoong. The vegetables were cooked perfectly and the lechon was tender and tasty. I think it's the perfect serving size for one. Overall, I'd return again. There are a lot of items on the menu I want to try. read more

Backstreet Asia - So goood that yu will keep asking for more me and my wife love it‼ try anything I promise yu will keep coming back - Filipino Near Me - Avondale, Arizona

I know ... I know... three stars only!? I wanted to give star this joint but it was really just okay. I was so excited to see that had pancit ... turns out it was something like pancit. A type of glass noodles with tiny strips of a veggie. Not even sure of what kind. Yeah. So, the lumpia was ok. Tiny like popcorn lumpia's lol! I actually wish that was a thing. I'd tear them up. Anyway, chicken wings were good but we can get good wings from other places. The service was pretty good. They told us there is a karaoke night and we should come check it out, but we haven't done that yet. The inside was OK. Definitely didn't look like a Asian spot. I wish success to this place because it has potential. And I'm a leave it at that. read more

Backstreet Asia - Name of place! - Filipino Near Me - Avondale, Arizona

Great Service .... Delicious Food I'm so glad we found this lil gem. Hands down the best we have had in some time. On this visit we shared Lumpia, BBQ spare ribs, pork sinigand, and garlic fried rice. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful and well-balanced. Chef Linchilan is an incredible chef, who uses only the freshest ingredients and seasonings. I think my favorite item was the Lumpia, it had a great savory flavor and the sweet chili sauce was the perfect pairing. My sister really enjoyed the Pork sinigang, it was tender, fall of the bone and just enough tang. everything thing we were served was spot on. You can really taste the quality of ingredients and the plating is beautiful. If you're looking fir a great dining experience, stop in. The owners and staff are friendly and welcoming, the food is delicious, and the prices are wallet friendly. Can't wait to come back and try more menu items. read more

Is a small place, I was kinda sketchy about it cause the way it looks it had a little stage and a bar I didn't think the food would be good but food was good. Service was great the only server they had she was nice, friendly and so helpful. It doesn't look like it gets busy at all, I was their in the evening and wasn't busy at all. The pancit was good I didn't think it would be enough but I couldn't finish it it got me full, the shrimp it was good but I wasn't a fan of it but that's just me. The lumpia was ok didn't have much flavor the sauce that came with it was ok I guess that helped with the flavor. I will return but would try different plates read more

We were really looking forward to dining at this restaurant, especially after reading so many glowing reviews and choosing it as the spot to celebrate my mom's birthday. She was especially excited, having spent a lot of time researching places for this special day. While we didn't want to dampen the occasion we decided not to speak to staff, we ultimately felt it was important to share our experience. When we arrived, we were the only table in the restaurant. As we began to order, we were told that two of the dishes we wanted--meals for two out of the three of us--were unavailable. While this was disappointing, we adjusted and ordered the Lumpia, Chicken Pancit Bison, Chicken Singaporean Noodles, Chicken Fried Rice, and Spicy Bulgogi. The Lumpia arrived first and was hot and tasty, which gave us hope. However, we then waited another 45 minutes for the rest of the food--despite being the only guests in the restaurant. When it finally came, everything was cold except for the Spicy Bulgogi. The chicken in several dishes was severely overcooked and dry (as shown in the photo), and the Fried Rice tasted stale and far from fresh. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. We spent over $80 on food that wasn't even mediocre, paired with service that was virtually non-existent. We had high hopes, but will absolutely not be returning or recommending to anyone. read more

I had a great meal with my sister here. We went for the Kamayan dinner , and it did not disappoint. We are Filipino, so we looking forward to a good meal. The lechon kawali and lumpia were on point. The fish was perfectly cooked. The muscles were so good I want some more. The dinner was all you can eat and included 3 alcoholic drinks. There's a stage and karaoke. The chef cooks more than just Filipino or just Asian, and I definitely want to try more from her. It's a nice place now, and I suspect it'll only get better as more people hear about it. I'll definitely be back. read more

Pretty much the only Filipina restaurant on the West Side. I had the Lumpia appetizer and the Kare Kare Pork. I've been to MANY other Filipino Restaurants around the US and this one is average! The Lumpia were a little small, the Pork Kare Kare peanut sauce was bland. I miss the Ox Tail days ... so much better. Not a bad restaurant, the lumpia were tasty, prices were a little high for the amount of food! The Tai Tea tasted smoky for some reason. Service was good. If you are in the neighborhood and want to try Filipino cuisine, stop by... but there are better around 35th Ave area, and the one in Mesa that's outstanding! Backstreet Asia is a good restaurant, maybe I'll be back.. my first impression was 3 1/2 stars! read more

We ordered through uber eats and I was really excited for this. We ordered Japanese curry, spicy bulgogi, sisig, fish balls and tinipa. First the portions are SUPER small and disappointing, I don't even eat that much and it didn't fill me up. My fish balls are small too and had no brown sauce. They gave me vinegar so that was super disappointing since I was expecting the brown sauce like how they usually serve it. Sisig was flavorless, and I had to season it myself. I don't know if they rushed by order and just said F it but not satisfied at all. Definitely not authentic if that is what you are looking for. read more

Hands down one of the best Filipino restaurant on the west side. We ordered the fish balls, lumpia, sinigang, and wings. The fish balls were amazing and tasted clean, not drenched in oil. The lumpia were perfectly cooked and I loved that they're not the traditional chunky lumpia. The wings were amazing, my husband loved them. Last but not the least, the best shrimp sinigang. It tastes exactly how my mom makes it and exactly how it's supposed to be made. We'll definitely be coming back for more! The service was great and we felt attended to. The food came out quick but freshly made which was the best part. read more

Backstreet Asia - Traditional Crispy Wings Shrimp Sinigang - Filipino Near Me - Avondale, Arizona

Really had high hopes for this place after reading the yelp reviews but after visiting this spot on a Saturday around 1pm that all changed. First the place was empty. Had to ring the bell to get seated. Saw ads that a DJ was supposed to be spinning there from 10-2pm. DJ was setting up at 2pm. Now to the food. We ordered Sisigsilog, pancit & an order of lumpia that was not on the menu for some odd reason. Food arrived pretty quick which was great since I was starving. When placing the order I also asked for a side of tocino which is listed on the menu which was not available according to the server. Sisigsilog was a single small pyramid of "garlic fried rice" which was missing actual garlic. A paltry and dried portion of mostly overcooked chopped lechon. Not a lot of the meat and mostly fatty parts in it . There were no peppers, onions or garlic to be seen cooked into the Sisig. Just a few green onions on top as garnish. Also 2 slices of pickled daikon? I feel like this was the attempt at atchara on the side. The order of lumpia was 6 skinny pieces. Nothing special and very disappointing considering it was $7.50. Now the biggest problem was the chicken pancit. Looked to be like bihon style. Flavor was way off. I took one bite and knew something was off. My partner also tried it and said it tasted like an "old dish rag" to be safe we didn't eat anymore since my guess was it was spoiled. After the disappointing meal I decided not to order the halo halo for dessert. Really hope they can turn things around. Since I'd like more Filipino options available out here read more

0 stars. Very very small seating area. Yes there was a party going on in there, but the service was so backed up. My wife and I had to sit at the bar and even after sitting at the bar it took us 15 mins just to get a menu. Took them another hour before we got our food after ordering. Food was very very salty. The amount of workers running around, looking unorganized was wild. Just take the time out and drive to Chandler or Mesa for good Filipino food read more

Starting off with the ambiance. As soon as you enter through the doors you instantly know it's a Pinoy restaurant. Reminds of back home where you have the dining area and the bar enjoying some drinks singing karaoke. But the stage is not big we came for lunch and it was not busy. I think they get it lit in the evenings though! Seating is fairly spread and the lighting is perfect for a restaurant. The service was A1! We got some recommendations from our server and her recommendations were definitely appreciated. Very friendly and we appreciate the chef for coming out and checking on us! Now the FOOD! Ok so I get the whole mom or grandma makes it better. Well backstreet comes close if not above! My family and I are new to the Phoenix area and finding a good Filipino spot was a must. Now I think the Bay Area needs to step it up coz the food they have was DELICIOUS! From the sisig and Bicol express to the garlic and bagoong rice! My kids enjoyed their chicken adobo and KBBQ burger! Those fries are also a hit. The only thing I can give them a slight hit on is the lechon kawali was not as crispy as I was hoping and also thy could've cut it just a tad bit thinner. But everything was great nonetheless. Will definitely try and come back for some Filipino breakfast and when they have events! read more

I'm giving this place five stars, because I want to encourage this sort of business here in the west valley. Their food is good. Their service is good. Everything is *GOOD*. I just don't know enough about Filipino cuisine to really know what's "authentic" or not, but I do know that I enjoyed our meal here. We spoke with the owner for awhile- she was really nice and it's obvious that she's really putting her heart and soul into this place. They *JUST* got their liquor license and their bar, and I believe she said that they're doing weekly karaoke and a lot of hangouts here, so if you're looking for a good bar to hang out at then this could be your spot. They've got some really interestingly authentic (to me) Filipino food, and it might have some flavors that you aren't used to, but give it a try and you might like it! We got the igado (liver) and the beef red curry, and both were really tasty. Next time we want to try some of the skewers and some of their other dishes. Some reviews have said that their food isn't "authentic". We asked the owner about it, and she said that she tried to make the food a little healthier, sometimes substituting oil for rendered fat and other more health-conscious decisions. Feel free to ask her to make it "more authentic" and who knows? read more
