    I lucked out when I saw their offerings on DoorDash. My initial experience was via delivery, and I'm definitely trying other menu options. Decided to check out their physical location. They're located in a food cart pod called The Garage right by the Aloha Station. They have a covered outside seating area. There is a parking lot. The best way in, and out would be through SW Shaw. The lady who took my order was very pleasant, even when she was quite busy. Their menu offerings are spot on. Their barbecue silog was just what I was craving. . It came with 4 pork skewers, rice, fried egg, cucumbers and tomatoes, and a small side of pickled zucchini. Their pancit canton came with two pork skewers, and was just right. Their HaloHalo was perfect. Unlike other places that make it too sweet. It came with ube ice cream, a sliver of leche flan, some sweet puff cereal, a barquillo (a crispy rolled wafer). and halohalo fixings. It had ube slathered in the cup which other restaurants don't do. I would definitely recommend this local Filipino owned family business. If you're in the area, and are craving Filipino food or a HaloHalo do check them out. You won't be disappointed!

    Travelled from Vancouver, WA to try out this food truck. Kidding. We were in the area. They have lots of parking space on the property- which is a huge plus. We came around 11 and got the longanisa plate, tapsilog, eggplant, and dinaguan. The longanisa wasn't as sweet or garlicky as I normally like it. It's a homemade sausage for sure. So that's a plus! With the side of garlic rice and suka. YUM! The rice portion was perfect! Not too little and not too much. The garlic ness of the rice could've been better though. It was pretty bland. The tapsilog was delicious! Loved every bite of it. Paired it with a side of tortang talong (eggplant omelette) which was missing patis for flavor. The dinaguan, my husband said was delicious. It wasn't oily like other places and the meat pieces were decent. Paid $57 for all this food which is mind blowing. Thought I would get away with maybe $40. Flavor wise, the food was great! Especially when you don't get a lot of home cooked Filipino meals around the area.

    Great hidden spot. Fresh cooked to order. Lumpia was spot on and hot. Tocinolog is a sweet tender pork meat served with short grain rice, a veggie relish dish, side of tomato (kamatis) and cucumber. Very good food!!! Halo halo was amazing! Refreshingly good!! Definitely would come back.

    I came here for Dad's chicken! The grilled chicken pod, that's in this little food pod area behind…read moreWalgreens. They seem like the talk of the town too! Well, after finally getting a chance to browse all the pods, I found Dad's chicken, but nothing was grillin'. So I came back here to Pares PDX Express instead. Checked out the side menu, checked out the prices, and out comes a brutha from anotha mutha! Welcomes me, so I asked my pare "What's good?" He said, "Everything!" smh, "Damn!" A good sign :(but not a good sign for me healthwise:) haha! I asked how long he's been open, and he said, "Since September." Still fresh and new to me, so my yelpie duty was to support my locals. Here's what I ordered: Drawn to the Crispy Kare-Kare ($15), this caught my eyes! (Optional read) Typically, the Filipino kare-kare meat used is with cuts of chuck steak and boney beef neck. Some like using pork hocks. Sometimes kare-kare will have beef tripe added. But personally for me, I love my mom's version using oxtail. I don't like the neck, I don't need tripe, it's gotta be OXTAIL!!! Besides, it's all about the stew and the saucy peanut buttery flavor. About Pares PDX kare-kare version... I saw "Crispy" and knew this was referring to either crispy pata or lechon kawali (aka deep fried pork belly with skin). They serve their kare-kare with crispy pork belly, bok choy, long string beans, and eggplant. The stew of peanut sauce was drizzled on top. With the home-made shrimp bagoong (fried shrimp paste) in between. I would have stayed outside on the patio tables, but it was going to rain. So I rushed home, and mmm mmm mmm the pieces were still nice and crispy indeed! I haven't had pork belly in so long that I was in heaven, not worrying if I needed to go to the hospital afterwards lol. You can have the dish with plain rice or garlic rice. I chose the garlic rice, which is almost a given. A bit of more information: ~ They've got a QR code to view the menu and/or place an order. ~ Majority or nearly all of the dishes were $15 average. ~ To feed your eyes, there are pics of the dishes on the side of the truck. ~ Service was pleasant and fast. Can't say I'll ever order what I can make myself, like adobo, sisig, pinoy style spaghetti, or lumpia, but I will definitely be back to try their version of pansit palabok, laing, dinuguan, and turon. I'll even try their "halo halo" next time! The Filipino authenticity, kinda like mom's style is here! Come check them out!

    I'm leaving this review primarily for the incredibly frustrating and seemingly systemic…read moreunreliability when ordering delivery from PDX PARES. Multiple times now, I have placed an order, watched the status change to "Confirmed" and even "Preparing," only for the restaurant or their system to cancel the order abruptly after the Dasher is already assigned or on their way. This is not just a minor inconvenience; it completely wastes time and effort planning a meal. A major contributing factor is that they frequently forget to close and update their DoorDash channel, showing they are available for online ordering when they are not. It gives the false hope that the food is on its way, only to be cancelled last minute, forcing a scramble to find dinner/lunch elsewhere. The management needs to seriously address their online order process, communication with delivery platforms, and their kitchen capacity. If you cannot fulfill an order, it should be rejected immediately, not 30-40 minutes after confirmation. Until this issue is fixed, I cannot recommend ordering from here, especially for delivery. It's too unreliable to depend on.

    First things first - this restaurant has a very small seating area with two very small tables. We…read more(3 people) dined in, but I have to assume that almost 100% of their business is takeaway. That said, we were not like sardines in a tin, we were comfortable in the space we had. It is probably relevant, though, to mention that two of the 3 people in our party were very small Filipinas. The entrees were excellent. Those were, in no particular order, lechon, Bicol Express and pork belly. We also got a large side of lumpia, which was not bad, but rather, decidedly average, so it suffered in comparison to the superb entrees. Additionally, they sliced it into small diagonal-cut (think of the way ziti pasta is cut) pieces, which I imagine was done for the sake of presentation, but I didn't find it visually appealing in the least. No matter, it's a mere trifle compared to the overall meal. The Sapin Sapin dessert was also fantastic, and somehow we made room for that after eating the generous entrees. The service was attentive and professional without being overbearing. Definitely coming back here again, and so are the two Filipinas (Tacloban and Mindanao). I think that sums it up neatly, right?

    We decided to try this place because we wanted something different and were excited after seeing…read moreall the good reviews. Unfortunately, our experience started off on the wrong foot because of the customer service. The guy taking our order was not very pleasant and gave us a reluctant vibe from the beginning. When we try a new place, we usually order several different dishes so we can get a good variety of what they have to offer. We ordered three plates, and he asked, "How many people are you ordering for because you already have three plates?" That comment didn't sit right with us, but we let it go. As we continued ordering different items, he made more awkward comments, including, "Are you sure you want that? It's the same thing, just made differently." We honestly didn't understand why he was trying to discourage us from ordering. If someone is willing to pay for the food, why try to talk them out of buying it? It left us feeling very unwelcome. We waited nearly 30 minutes for our food, which we understood because we ordered a good amount. But when the food came out, there were no pleasantries or anything that made us feel welcomed as customers. Unfortunately, the customer service completely overshadowed the experience for us. Customer service is a big pet peeve of mine. If I feel like I'm being treated unpleasantly or made to feel unwelcome, I'm not likely to return. Safe to say, we will not be going back. As for the restaurant itself, it is very small. There were only about two tables inside, along with some outdoor seating, so I would not recommend it for larger groups. Three people would probably be the most comfortable for the indoor space. The food itself was okay. Honestly, I think we may have rated it higher if we had a better experience with the customer service. The two dishes we really enjoyed were the dinuguan and laing. They also give a good portion of rice. Unfortunately, when you combine the food with the customer service and the very limited indoor seating, this just wasn't a place we would return to. **Customer Service: 1/10** **Inside/Seating: 1/10** **Food: 5/10**

Upon the first bite, everything was good! We got the lumpia plates and the pineapple kicker hamburger, and they came in generous portion. Everything was crunchy and served hot, they were enjoyable. Then we started noticing things are a bit different when I bit into the pancit. It's quite... sour! Then I noticed my lumpia tasted quite dry as well. That's when my boyfriend said he wished his burger buns were less soggy. We put more thoughts into this meal, and came up with this conclusion: we understand it's "fusion food", but the thing I like about Filipino food, is it's fatty and delicious. So when food tasted dry-ish and sour, I got confused! I might try some other items on their menu later, fingers crossed!!

    I recall there being a HunnyBeez cart in Newberg, and have always wanted to try it out. Found out…read morethey had a location in Aloha near us! The lumpia is nice and crisp, the shanghai version is kind of like potsticker filling - filled with seasoned ground pork. However, they looked a bit burnt and had a stale flavor on the crispy skin. This was particularly evident in their fries - oddly dark, oily and a strange flavor. It may be due to old frying oil. Brisket is pretty good, nice seasonings. Rice that comes with it is overcooked mush though. Pick your sides wisely! I think this will be a pass for us in the future.
