We came around 1:30 PM on a Wednesday and each ordered the mixed plate. I chose Kalua Pig & Cabbage and Ahi Poke as my main items, with Pancit and Purple Sweet Potato as sides. Everything was delicious and satisfying! I also had the non-alcoholic Ube Horchata, which was very refreshing. There was seating upstairs, downstairs, and outside--we enjoyed the sunlight upstairs. Service was great and attentive, even though it was self-service. They had a break between lunch and dinner, but graciously allowed us to dine during the break since we arrived close to their 2 PM lunch closing time. Parking was easy, with available spots on the street or in the nearby neighborhood. read more

Never expect the worse only expect the best. I only went to Barkada once but the experience was unforgettable and explosion of flavor left me wanting more. Unfortunately Barkada closed but I will never forget the killah grindz, knack attack under the Banyan tree. read more

Don't take this unassuming restaurant on the outskirts of downtown Edmond for granted. The food here, despite being a bit pricey (but to be honest, what isn't these days) serves up some great dishes. And to have a great patio that's dog-friendly? That's just the cherry on top. My wife and I have had this place bookmarked for a while, and we finally made the trek out to try it out. We ordered: The pork belly sisig Kalua pork The highlight was the kalua pork. I'm still vividly thinking about it while I write this review. The pork just melts in your mouth and has such a fantastic flavor to it. The salad was refreshing and acidic, which was delightful, and the mac was really good too. The pork belly sisig was also really solid, though I have to say that the kalua pork stole the show. The nice fatty pieces of pork belly mixed with the rice were sweet and delicious, and I also thoroughly enjoyed this dish. As earlier mentioned, the dishes are a bit pricey, but they gave a lot of food (we both had to take our meals to go at the end - a rarity for me!) +1 to the server who gave our dog some treats along the way! I'm happy to say that we'll be back, especially to check out their happy hour. read more

The ambiance was a nice place to stop by for lunch/early dinner! We got there 4:55 and were still given the Happy Hour menu letting us order a mixed plate to share and two drinks for a super affordable price. Service was prompt at the register and to refill the water station with ice cold water when it was empty. The portion sizes are reasonable, but if you are hungry, you might want to order your own plate. Chicken Adobo: pros- the flavor was great and it was boneless so easy to eat! cons- it was one of the driest chicken I've eaten in a while Pork belly sigsig: pros- the flavors of the sauce were strong/great and not too hard or fatty which made it enjoyable to eat especially with the rice! cons: it was on the saltier side Purple potato mashed salad: pros- this was probably our favorite. We both enjoyed it! cons- none :) Mac Salad: pros- tastes like what you would expect! cons- mayo heavy Spam musubi: pros- the rice and spam were cooked well and the musubi looked cute! cons- we wish it had egg or something to counterbalance the saltiness of the spam Ube Horchata: pros- a unique take on Horchata cons- tastes a bit too much like a sweet candle for me Ginger Beer: pros- served in ice cold tin cup and ginger taste was strong! cons- none that we can think of! Would order this again next time. read more

We were a couple of hours at Marina Beach Park and the hungers hit. Yelp to the rescue. Looking for Filipino food, Barkada came up with a solid four stars after almost 250 reviews. Good enough for us. It was a bit of a wait, but worth it. Not many people but it was also an extremely "off" time. A few tables modestly spread inside and big umbrella covered tables with benches outside. Must tries for me were the Pancit, Sisig and the Chicharon. All were wonderful. I mostly ate the Ahi Poke with edamame and a delicious pickled ginger. We had a few laughs with our server, Kitten. Her real name Kat. But in hippie-speak Kat is masculine for man, so she became Kitten. An excellent waitress, just the same. Fair warning: the taste here is a bit unusual. Even if you are seasoned Filipino/Hawaiian fare eaters. Also, if you're interested in something you don't see on the menu, ask them. Many times they can oblige! 06/25 read more

We really enjoyed our meals. The food was good, but not amazing. It was appropriately priced for the quality and flavors. There was a ton of outdoor seating which is always really nice. And there was adequate indoor seating for when the weather is not great The food did take a very long time and there was no one before us. So just be prepared for that If we were in the area again, we would probably try something else for that price point but it's fine if you are craving some Hawaiian food which is hard to find in the area read more

Barkada Edmonds - Outdoor area - Filipino Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

Had been here a few years back and was planning to cater with them. Hoped they kept the same hospitality but were disappointed to experience the opposite on multiple interactions. 1. No catering menu or catering prices online. Called to get more info and had to be sent screenshots of the register iPad. 2. No response to the email inquiry asking about specific details even after I was told to email. 3. Decided to stop by in person to gather more info and a late lunch only to find out they had closed down for an hour (2-3PM) on a Saturday. Nothing mentioned on the website. 4. Employees seemed annoyed when asked about the catering menu and additional info. 5. Lumpia is still listed on the menu but they can't even make it due to a lack of correct exhausting from the fryer. All in all, really disappointed that this was the follow up to my first interaction. Poor representation for the Filipino culture especially being one of the few north of Seattle. They should do better. I'll be going somewhere else for my native food from now on. read more

My previous visit to Barkada Edmonds was back in 1/19/18 which I gave a two star back then. I revisited this spot over 5.5 years later with The College Friend on 8/15/23. Both she and her friend have this on their routine dining rounds, I figured I should give this another try. Indeed there were improvements observed, so added another star. We got a nearby parking spot on this very hot summer afternoon. We decided to stop by during their happy hour, which was fortuitous for me since items ordered and consumed onsite from 3-5pm is 50% off. I ordered the Kalua Pig with cabbage, this came in a compostable take out box with steamed rice, a scoop of mac salad, and some greens. It was a hefty amount served and I ended up only finishing half of it. I was glad for the cold water in the self serve canteen containers, although the POG slushie looked enticing on the menu. I ended up eating the mac salad later (bit much mayo wise) and the rest of the pork and rice was consumed by The Homie. To be honest, I actually prefer laulau over kalua pig. The College Friend ordered her usual Pork Sisig which came with steamed rice, greens, and spicy chili sauce. She was a bit disappointed though that for the second time there was no purple sweet potato salad available. I would say this is a great bargain when stopping by during happy hour. Have some HH beverages and convo first, then take your conveniently packed food and enjoy it al fresco at one of many parks in Edmonds. Considering how compact the food/drink prep area is, they have decent menu selections, there's something for everyone. It was good to revisit and see that they have found their niche as the northend pioneer. There are also now other Filipino or island plate lunch spots in Lynnwood and Everett. read more

This place is amazing. We got musubi and pork sisig with pancit and mac salad for sides. All of it was so amazing. Wish it was closer to where we lived. So if you like Filipino food, it's absolutely worth stopping by. Also, FYI they're currently only opened Tues-Sat so keep that in mind. read more

Everything was so fresh and flavorful! The Bibimbop was amazing with all kinds of textures and tastes. It hit all the right notes. I got a side of Mac which was the perfect accompaniment. It's one of the most unique and delicious macaroni salads I've ever had. Hubby had the garlic shrimp and ahi which he said were both perfect. read more

Barkada is my second foray into a Filipino restaurant & it was a great experience. The cashier was very pleasant & helpful. I had the Mixed Plate with Pork Belly Sisig, Chicken Adobo, Mac Salad & Pancit. The food was perfect, and the restaurant is clean with a nice seating area outside. The only thing that would prevent me from coming regularly is price. $30 + tip for lunch is a lot. Everything else was great. read more

Just moved into Seattle 2 weeks ago and my wife and I kept passing by this restaurant a few times, which provoked my interest. So, this past Friday, my wife and I decided to give it a shot. Unfortunately, it did not strike our taste buds with gratification. It was not the wait time as kept ourselves preoccupied with jenga, cards, and sungka. It was not the drinks as we enjoyed the San Miguel and Margarita. It was not the location and seating arrangement as we loved the filipino-hawaiian ambience and the outdoor seating. It was the food. Loved the lumpia. But, I was not fond of the adobe as it tasted tooo vinegar-y. Shrimp tasted delicious. I was not too fond of the pancit or the lechon. We may reconsider another visit. read more

Refreshing unique and wonderful neighborhood family vibes. Friendly staff. Very tasty, highly recommend!

If you're looking for a patio to enjoy the nice weather and get some good food, then this is the spot for you. The best fusion food, to me, is food that stays true to both cultures and doesn't create something unrecognizable. Barkada delivers that so well with their mix of Hawaiian and Filipino foods. I tried the mix plate and got sisig, adobo, pancit, and mac salad. I adore sisig and I really loved their spin on it which was extra saucy, had sauteed onions, and was topped with spicy mayo. The adobo also surprised me with how they kept the chick tender and juicy. I also couldn't resist a spam musubi and the beautiful ube horchata cocktail. The musubi was just okay but wow I would come back again for the ube horchata alone. As far as I could tell, there's only street parking in this area which can be a bit tricky because it's along a major road, but the food is worth the fight to find a spot. read more

We stumbled upon Barkada while we were in the area. We were so excited to find a Filipino restaurant as there doesn't seem to be many. We went pretty late on a Saturday evening. Even though it was late, there were quite a lot of people. At the time, only outdoor seating seemed to be open (couldn't tell but I think there's a downstairs inside the restaurant, not sure if there was seating down there or not. One thing we didn't love was that staff doesn't clean the tables between parties. They leave out one container of clorox wipes to be shared among tables and it's kind of left up to customers to wipe down the tables themselves. Our table was pretty sticky and gross and I wish the staff could help sanitize to ensure that tables are clean and ready to eat on. You order at the counter and are given one of those light up buzzers to let you know when your order is ready. Not sure if it was just because it was a bit busy but it seemed to take a VERY long time for our order to be ready. The food was pretty good. We ordered lumpia, Spam Musubi, Pancit, Pork Sisig, Kalua Pig, Ube Horchata and Citrus-Ade. Our favorites were the kulua pork, musubi and sisig. Really wish the citrus-ade would have been calamansi which was listed on an older menu. But, it wasn't. The citrus-ade was pretty tart. Overall we enjoyed the food and it was a good amount of food with plenty leftover to have later. If we're in the area gain, we would definitely go again. read more

In preparation for a trip to Hawaii the husband and I found this place for a late lunch. The patio is delightful but it was entirely too cold for it today so we headed inside. Quaint and definitely family place with a couple tables upstairs and a sign that indicates more seating downstairs . We were greeted by with a friendly bartender/order taker who let us know to look at the me u and order with him. He also gave us some great suggestions including that we should wait three minutes for happy hour. That was probably the best suggestion of all! We each got a mixed plate. Mine was delicious with Poke, Kahlua Pork and Kale salad plus Mac salad. My husband dalso enjoyed his, he got garlic shrimp and another pork dish with a noodle side and Kale salad. We shared a side of Lumpia and both had a a cocktail from the menu. Unfortunately they gave me the wrong side, I wanted the Mac salad and I got a noodle dish. The downstairs where we sat was lovely and we (more like I) really enjoyed the music. They even had a couple of arcade games. .. be sure to check it out! read more

Yo, this is the spot, dank (in a good way) Filipino food. And best of all, they have happy hour on Wednesday and Thursday at 8-9 pm / Friday and Saturday 9-10 pm where you get 50% off the entire food menu! Who does that?! Your food is already hella good! So if you don't wanna break the bank and try lots of options with friends, come for happy hour at least. As FYI, it can get pretty crowded since the price is attractive so expect to wait a bit to get your food, which is a good excuse to get cheap drinks. I'm definitely a regular since I want to support this awesome business and see them grow. For those who were blessed with aunties or titas, I don't know if is going to be as authentic as a home cooked meal but you have to respect the Filipino representation. Personal favorites are the lechon (when they have it), tocino tostada (special only), sisig, and poke. If you see any pork specials, get it since they're so well prepared. They don't skimp on the drinks and make them strong btw. Definitely check it out to find your own favorites. For you nerds out there, they have street fighter to play for free downstairs. read more

The perfect comforting meal after spending a week on a boat. The service was quick. Order at the front and they give you a pager. Once your pager goes off then you go up to pick up your order. They cook the food upfront and you can automatically smell the deliciousness aroma. Must order the ube horchata, the non alcoholic and alcoholic one is refreshing! We both went during happy hour, which is half off entrees and mixed plates, which is an ahmazing deal. I ordered the Mac salad, pancit, garlic shrimp and pork sisig. My partner ordered the Mac salad, pancit , pork sisig and Kalua pig. The meats came on a bed of rice. The pork sisig is our favorite. So flavorful and tender. Loved the garlic shrimp , tons of garlic flavor. Not a big fan of shell on shrimp but wasn't difficult to remove to eat. The pancit needed just a bit of soy sauce but was yummy. I love Hawaiian Mac salad and prefer it over American Mac salad. The kalua pig was tender and flavorful. Almost seemed like it needed a sauce though. We also ordered the masubi, it was our first time trying it, and our first time trying spam, and it was really good. Overall a great experience, and great food. We will definitely be stopping by again when we're in town! read more

Delicious food--great menu and cozy atmosphere. Excellent service--will be back again soon!!

I found Barkada because I was craving some Hawaiian food and I love that they are a Hawaiian-Filipino fusion restaurant! They have a large outside seating area and they are dog friendly which is a big plus! We got the combo plate (chicken adobo & pork belly sisig) and also the garlic shrimp plate with pancit (Filipino noodle dish) I love that you can substitute it for it instead of rice! The side dishes, mac salad and sweet potato mash was good as well!! Lots of flavor in all their meat/shrimp dishes & honestly everything was pretty delicious. We'll definitely be going back for more! Portions are good too! I do want to try their poke next time! read more

Ever think to yourself, "I'd love to venture out and taste some international cuisine that will make me fall in love with food all over again"? Well look no further Anthony Bourdain, you got an amazing food spot right here! Where I come from, Filipino food is sparse, hard to come by and actually is quite hit or miss. Nothing is ever as good as my wife's parents cooking. That said, this place is a lumpia in a haystack, and is THE exception. I ordered a mixed plate of the Chicken adobo, pork belly chicharron, with Mac salad and Pancit. Everything was on point. My wife and I are just sad that we don't have one where I live. Don't tell her parents but this might actually be better than their cooking. Simply put the food is amazing, the staff is awesome and would definitely travel 3,000 miles again to eat here! read more

Holy smokes! Probably one of the best things I've eaten since moving here in January is the food from Barkada. They offer 50% off their entrees during happy hour, what a steal! Pork belly was super crispy. And I don't think I've ever enjoyed shrimp as much as did theirs. Their ube horchate is as good as it looks as well. I love that they offer a variety of sides, some not as traditional to Hawaiian food. The restaurant itself is a great aesthetic inside with some games to play downstairs. Their music is also awesome. Run, don't walk! read more

The chichiron was the show stopper, I could literally hear the person next to me crunching because it was that thicc. If you get the combo it's a bang for your buck, 2 entrees and 2 sides for 18 dollars and they don't skimp. Ps: It's not a sit down and they serve you restaurant, there's a line to order and they give you a buzzer. read more

Great value for happy hour (50% off plates and mixed plates from 3-5 pm). We got the poke, and a garlic shrimp and pork sisig combo plate. Everything was good, but we'll probably switch out the shrimp for something else next time because there are other dishes we want to try. The portions were fair, and we left full, although it would've been easy to split another plate. We look forward to returning. read more

Go there for the Poke and whatever else is suggested by the (super cool) owner! Everything was delicious. Craft cocktails too. Order at the counter and take your food downstairs to the extra dining room! Upstairs was a little smokey due to the delicious food being cooked right there!! Ohhhhh and this place is incredibly sustainable and VERY cognizant of the environment so be prepared to recycle. read more

The food was good and the portions were good as well! The only thing is that you save half the price if you were to come during happy hour so make sure to do that!! I didn't realize how much extra we ended up spending by missing out on that. We got three dishes to share amongst three people and also got the horchata which was good. The service was pretty quick and there's seating both inside and outside the store. read more

Finally got to check out Barkada Edmonds for dine-in! I've had Barkada before, as they were a stand at a festival I attended, but the experience at its actual restaurant is better. Thus, an updated review is in order. I kid you not, only half an hour into dinner service on a Saturday, the place was packed. Most of the outdoor tables were taken, including those with a fire pit. Darn! At least we were able to snag a table. The patio is also dog-friendly, which was a huge plus. You order at the counter and are handed a buzzer for when your food is ready for pick up. My boyfriend and I both ordered the combination meals for $18 each. You choose two proteins and two sides, so we each ordered different items for sharing. They also had Filipino-inspired cocktails and San Miguel beer! I started with the buko pandan cocktail, which I recommend for anyone who likes coconut and pandan together. Then we ended up sippin' on San Migs as we dined. For my combination, I ordered the pork sisig and kalua pork with pancit and kale salad, while my boyfriend ordered the chicken adobo, tuna poke with the purple sweet potato and pancit. Our combos also came with rice. Everything was tasty! Highlights for me were the pork sisig, especially with the poached egg and the purple sweet potato! You gotta try! Yet everything was delicious. There is dining inside on the lower level where the restrooms are located. But I think the covered, heated front area for outdoor seating is better. Get here early if you plan to come with a group, as Barkada is a popular spot. Glad to have tried out this Filipino-inspired restaurant! read more

We've been meaning to try this place for awhile now but have never been able to catch it on a day that it's open! I ordered a mixed plate and chose the Kalua Pork and Sisig Pork as my mains. For sides, I got the Mac salad and noodles. The kalua pork was tender and flavorful. The sisig pork has a minor kick to them but was also super flavorful! Honestly you can't go wrong any with of their entrees and sides! Portions were plenty and I felt stuffed after. Everything about this place is amazing!! You have to try the spiked slushees they have too. I would say they're worlds better than the Fat Tuesdays in Vegas. read more

I've been here often. This place has become a favorite to eat with friends because of the friendly and knowledgeable staff and the food is unmatched. I am so happy mixed plates are back! It's a good way to try different items on the menu without committing to one large dish. I love the chicken adobo, garlic shrimp and pork kalua. For sides, I like the pancit and mac salad. They are too good! I wish I could eat here everyday. I also love their drinks, they're strong and cute! Like their une horchata or colada slushy, I've also tried their lihing margarita! Ah just get anything on the menu to be honest - you won't regret it. It's intimate inside with a few tables in the front and more seating below with a few arcade games and Manny Pacquiao. On nice days, they have a patio seating! :) read more

I saw my friend's food post from this place and immediately knew I needed to try it! So this past Saturday we ordered take out for 3 of us. They have a cute outside seating area! Wish we had time to eat there on their patio! We ordered: - musubi x2 - combo plate x3 - garlic shrimp and sisig - adobo and sisig - adobo and kalua pork - sides: purple potato salad, mac salad, and kale salad - total spent around $75 I have to say this was a pricier take out we have had! We found the musubi to be kinda small but they were tasty! I enjoyed my garlic shrimp and sisig but found the dishes to be on the oily side. I enjoyed the mac salad more than the potato salad, but Cody said their was a lot of mayo on the mac salad. Our other friend really liked the adobo though! Overall, I would consider coming back here to enjoy drinks and food on their patio! But would not go out of my way to do take out again. read more

4.5 star! Yummy Filipino/Hawaiian food in Edmonds. We got takeout from here 3 times in July. It is a good place to eat for warm summer days! I love their Kalua pork and and purple yam salad. Their butter garlic shrimp and chicken adobo were pretty good as well. The only thing I would not order again is the spam Musubi. It's not very flavorful and not as good as the ones I had in Hawaii. Their frozen alcohol drinks are great for summer as well, my favorite is the piña colada! read more

My girlfriend, her son and yours truly rolled up Friday evening. It was cracking for sure. Street parking is the only option, BTW. We were greeted immediately, which I noticed. However, we were advised to wait until we could enter and order. We ordered the Citrus-Aid, Ube Horchata, pork sisig, chicken adobo, pancit and lumpia. My GF treated but I thought it was a grip pricey for the food items. It was delicious for me. The son didn't finish his horchata citing it was watered down like the others had grumbled about. The ambiance was cozy for the outside, at least. It was a warm evening so it was aiight. I'm an American Filipino and I approve this message. read more
