Get ready to come early, as the indoor seats fill up quickly. There are plenty more seats outside with an industrial fan blowing generously across the patio - an improvement from where the fan was positioned my last visit. The atmosphere is mostly friendly except for those aunties who count how many times other people get back in line for food while they choose to wait until everyone is fed. IYKYK, and if you don't: there will Always be a line because new people keep coming in to eat, so please just get in line with them and wait your turn. Service: One of the better Filipino establishments as the owners kindly greet all of us with a welcoming "Happy Father's Day!" As expected the turnover rate of food service was quick, and the food remained hot. Another reminder to pay attention to the workers placing more hot food and cold desserts as the trays become low in quantity. Some Filipinos are used to family style meals and will take helpings for their whole table, so you may want to be keen to beat them to the buffet line. Food: Thankfully the choices did not disappoint, considering the celebration day. It's also useful to check their Facebook page on Fridays to know what they plan to serve on Sunday. As you'd expect in your own home, some planned dishes may change for various understandable reasons but no one really notices because there's always a plan B prepared. Focusing on the food itself, it definitely reminds me of how my dad cooks: calorific. This may be due to meat availability, as it is difficult to find choice meat nowadays. As much as people, like my dad, believe that fat = flavor and sauce + rice is nice...I personally want to buffet on a Filipino balanced meal of meat, veggies, and soup. I did appreciate the lumpia, bicol express (not spicy), and beef steak tagalog improved in flavor and contained less fatty meat than last time. The dinuguan (not spicy) and pork adobo gave the same experience though - good but can improve. If the papaitan didn't have so much fatty bits that soup would've been the highlight of the meal as the slight bitterness balanced the cebuchon. The spaghetti, pansit, sapin-sapin, maha blanca, and ube ice cream were pretty good considering the idea of this restaurant is to be invited into one's kitchen and home cooking. Overall rating: 3.5 stars. I hope this business continues to grow: into a bigger place so the overall ergonomics becomes less hectic, and more funds for more ingredients.

My family and I were looking for a comfort meal after a long road trip back to California from…read moreTexas, and we craved Filipino food while in Arizona. We found Filipino Fusion on Google and decided to check it out for an early dinner (around 4:30 p.m.). We were greeted by a very kind Ate who immediately took our order and gave us water and utensils. We ordered Pompano Sinigang, Pansit, and Daing Bangus. Everything was absolutely delicious and fresh. It filled our cravings and gave us energy for the rest of the trip back. The staff (Judy and Susie) were so lovely to talk to and we look forward to the next time we come back to Arizona so we can once again go here!

Filipino Fusion - Phoenix, AZ…read more Good food. Great service. Filipino Fusion is a hidden gem serving comforting, flavorful Filipino dishes with generous portions and fair pricing. The menu offers a solid mix of classics like lumpia, adobo, sinigang, silog breakfasts, pancit, and crispy pork dishes, all cooked with authentic flavors. Everything we tried was fresh, well-seasoned, and satisfying. The lumpia was perfectly crispy, the adobo was rich and savory, and the garlic rice was spot on. You can tell the food is made with care. Service was warm, friendly, and welcoming -- exactly what you hope for in a family-owned restaurant. Staff took their time explaining the menu and made us feel right at home. If you're craving Filipino food or want to try it for the first time, Filipino Fusion is absolutely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back.

We called ahead and it's a Hawaii area code phone number and fully legit. Leland picked up and took our order and it was ready the time he stated. Great customer service, product, price and home business!!!

DO NOT HESITATE - SUPPORT CRISTINA'S…read more Coming across Cristina's was a bit of a happy accident - I was on the west side and in the mood for pupusas, and Cristina's was nearby. When we walked in, there were a couple of tables filled and 2 groups of people waiting in line. We waited in line before we were asked if we were dining in or taking out, at which point we were prompted to take a seat. We took a while to nail down our order but once we did, it was smooth sailing. Our server brought out our drinks, as well as cutlery, and sauces. The pupusas took a while (freshly made and to order, plus many to-go orders) That said the wait was SO worth it. Aside from the pupusas my mom makes these are the BEST I've had in Arizona. They didn't skimp on the fillings and they were burnt or undercooked. They were just right! The curtido was fairly standard (I just wished there was a little more of it) - and I wish the salsas were spicier (but I am also conscious that not every culture has spicy foods). I WILL be back, and I strongly encourage you to give them a try. --- Honestamente las mejores pupusas que e comido en un restaurante en el estado. Recomendadas!!
