    This is actually one of our favorite go to for Filipino food in the bay and it is open 24/7! Having been here many times, we have not had a bad meal experience here. All the dishes we've had has been so good. Then again we stick to the Asian dishes. We've been here after airport pick ups, for lunch, for brunch, for 4th meals, and still can count on delicious food to fill our bellies. Yes they have an extensive menu, but we've never ventured outside of their filipino or Chinese dishes. Maybe that is the key? Their Sinigang is so so good! You can also ask for just sabaw btw, you're welcome. Mmmmm

    Came by Friday night around midnight and it was packed. I heard a lot about this place but never tried it out until tonight. Maybe it was an off night but the wet noodles were SO SALTY. Spaghetti was pretty good, tasted similar to jollibee. Basically no service was given besides taking our order, taking food out, and coming by to give us our check. They did not check in on our table and one of our dish came 20 mins after everyone else's. Pretty pricey for the meal, bill was $170 for 6 dishes. Overall, not impressed, very underwhelming.

    Fried Chicken (Filipino style) is the best I've ever had. It's better than Max's of the Philippines fried chicken!

    Adding Beef Ribs Nilaga to my favorite dish list at Cafe Colma where you'll love delicious Filipino, American and Chinese food, attentive, fast and friendly service in a busy, clean diner-feel vibe with flat screens

    Lucky Chances, Cafe Colma, might be my favorite part of going to an event.... this is my version of afters... After an event when my feet hurt and I am severely dehydrated, this is where we go. It has nourished me back to help and brought my soul back to life. Yes, it gets busy, but all good things come with time. The sinigang has my heart and soul.

    Crispy pata
    Ida L.

    Came here with some friends around 2:30 so the place is just starting to slow down. We put our name on the waitlist and were quickly called to be seated. The restaurant is like your typical cafe style with counter seating and various booths. It was kind of loud initially but quiets down as people leaving. There's a sign in the wall by each table stating "1hour limit". Luckily, the food came out quickly or we wouldn't have make the 1 hr deadline We ordered the Belgian waffle, crispy pata and 2 meat combo of tapsilog and chopsilog with garlic rice and 2 eggs. The waffle was just average, something one can make at home. The meat was salty and dry for my taste. We all liked the crispy pata as it was crispy on the outside and juicy in the inside.

    Cafe Colma is a great spot! The food is really good, especially their longanisa plates, and being open 24 hours is a huge plus.

    This is a great diner family place. Super casual. Also a late night drunk place for those who end up out really late and need some food. You've got this place to rely on. Large menu! So many items! Filipino food, American, breakfast, cocktails, Chinese, a bit of everything! FOOD- The pork adobo had wonderful sauce and flavor. Great over rice, you choose plain or garlic rice. The two meat item Filipino rice and egg plate was good too, super oily as you'd expect. I can't eat too much of it but it's enjoyable once in a while. I like the Filipino sausage for choice of meat, wish they'd give me more than two slices DESSERT- The halo halo is amazing. Choose mango or ube ice cream on top.

    Wonton soup with chicken added, not salty which I like
    Emy B.

    It's after 11pm and we were all hungry. This place rocks for a good hot meal whether it be Filipino, Chinese, or American food. Hubby got the Patty Melt, but wasn't what he expected. He said it was just okay. What shines here are Filipino & Chinese dishes for me. We shared a Wonton soup with chicken added. Chicken was tender and soup wasn't oily, dumplings were delish and not salty. Their Silog garlic rice plates are a solid choice that comes with two eggs cooked the way you like. No frills friendly service and the coffee & sodas keep coming if you need refills.

    Great service, seated fairly quickly and orders came out quick. And the scallion beef and tosilogs really hit the spot.

    Came here late night for some food since I was jet lagged and it was one of the few options open. My partner got the fried bangus (milkfish) and longanisa (Filipino sweet pork sausage) tselog, both were delicious. The bangus was fried perfectly and the longanisa was what we expected. I got the soft scrambled egg with shrimp rice plate and it was cooked well. It had good msg flavor and the eggs weren't overcooked. It comes with a side of oyster sauce if you want some more salt/sweet flavor. The prices are a tad high but for the few options open late, it's solid. The service was nice and we didn't wait long for our food.

    It's been almost 20 years, but I recently found my way back to Cafe Colma for some late night silog. Located in the Lucky Chances Casino, this diner has a fairly extensive menu and is open in the later hours of the night for those looking for something warm and more quality (than typical fast food) to eat. The overall ambiance of the restaurant was just as I remembered. The night we came in, the food was tasty and the service was speedy and attentive. We were a party of five who ordered all Filipino dishes (mostly silogs) and orders came out warm and fresh. I ordered the Comsilog with longanisa and tocino. Portions were just right and the food was good. Proteins were flavorful and tender. Ordered the eggs over medium and they missed the mark on those, but I understand over medium eggs are tough to perfect. Garlic rice complemented the proteins perfectly. The meal was exactly what I was expecting and wanting. Even though I don't live close by anymore, Cafe Colma will always have a special place in my memories as the go to spot for some late night Filipino food. My recent experience did not disappoint and I would return again in the future.

    Service alright BUT the specials they advertise they are always "sold out" of. Why do I always come here still

    This is my absolute favorite place to go after a night out! I love that they're open 24 hours a day, which is perfect for when I'm craving some Filipino comfort food. I highly recommend their silogs (my favorites are the spam, corned beef, and longanisa). Service is a hit or miss; some servers can have a bad attitude, but others are really nice and attentive. I definitely recommend checking this place out!

I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEE the dry fried chicken and the Szechuan spicy beef. The chicken is crispy, packed with flavor, and super addictive, while the spicy beef is rich, bold, and has that signature numbing kick from the Sichuan peppercorns. I usually also get the honey walnut shrimp when I want something a little sweeter to balance everything out, but if you're trying this place for the first time, you really can't go wrong with the dry fried chicken and Szechuan spicy beef. Just a heads up, it's not just spicy, it's that numbing heat, so definitely get some rice on the side.

He had the black bean spicy fish with white rice, and I chose the mapo tofu with fried rice. Each lunch came with tea, a cup of hot and sour soup, and an egg roll. The soup really stood out. It wasn't just a thin broth with a few scraps floating around. It was a genuine, comforting hot and sour soup with real ingredients in every spoonful. That alone made the meal feel thoughtful and complete. The portions were satisfying and well balanced, and everything arrived hot and fresh. My husband enjoyed his fish, which had good flavor and a nice texture. The mapo tofu was exactly how I like it. The tofu held its shape, which made a big difference. I do not enjoy overly soft tofu that falls apart, and this had a firmer bite that worked really well with the sauce. The dish was clean tasting, with a steady heat that was noticeable but not overwhelming. It had spice, but it did not overpower the dish or linger too aggressively. There was no pork, which I appreciated, and it still felt complete and satisfying without it. What made this meal especially meaningful for me is that I had just gotten out of the hospital a week ago after dealing with malnutrition, dehydration, and several health issues. I had not been eating well and had lost over 80 pounds in the past year. This was the first full, nourishing meal I have truly been able to enjoy in a long time. For the first time in months, I did not feel weak or fragile afterward. I felt full, steady, and strong. That kind of experience goes beyond just good food. It felt restorative. It felt like care. From what others often say, this place has built a strong reputation for bold Sichuan flavors that are still approachable. People tend to mention the generous portions, the consistent quality, and the fact that the spice levels are flavorful rather than overwhelming. It is the kind of spot that draws both regulars and first time visitors who are looking for something reliable and satisfying. Spicy House gave me more than just a meal. They gave me a moment of comfort and strength when I really needed it. We will absolutely be back.

After waiting for half an hour, we were informed that they had misplaced it. Consequently, we had to place our order again.

It arrived steaming hot, but the wonton skin wrapper was thick and chewy. - #421: Spare Ribs in Black Bean Sauce: The ribs had a sweeter flavor than expected. - #504: Fresh Okra Poached with Garlic & Scallion: The okra was not slimy and had a pleasant taste. - #304: Hand Roasted Suckling Pig Slice: The slice was incredibly tender and crispy. - #312: Crispy Tofu with Garlic/Herbs: The tofu was crispy, but some of the coating that wasn't fully fried with it tasted a bit raw. - #808: Crispy Fried Taro Puffs with Pork: These were crispy and warm. - #802: Fried Glutinous Dumplings with Dice Pork: The dumplings were crispy and warm, but the pork was minimal. - #711: Stir Fried Beef Chow Fun: The dish was good, and the meat was tender. Throughout the meal, our waiter kept checking on our order and relaying messages in Chinese about the dishes still needed for our table. After two hours, we decided to cancel the chicken feet. When the bill arrived, I expressed my dissatisfaction with the service, and the waiter responded with a series of "ok"s. After a few more "I'm not happy" comments, he removed the "service charge" and informed us that we could decide whether to leave a tip or not.

They are located in a strip mall near several different food places, bakery, and a bowling alley. This is a solid dim sum place, with no frills and reasonable prices. You order off a printed menu that's in Chinese with tiny English subtitles. You can also order off their regular menu if you want to supplement the dim sum dishes. Their food is very good, and some dishes were excellent. The service was pretty quick, and before we knew it, all our dishes were out with almost no room on the lazy Susan. The standouts for me were: + Steamed custard buns (piggy buns) - I ordered these for the kiddies, but dang they are so good. The custard filling is so velvety, it's almost like pudding. I think I detected a hint of coconut too - yum. + Beef chow fun - this had a really good wok flavor and the noodles were less wide than most. The noodles didn't clump either, and the bean sprouts were still crispy. + Roasted pork belly - the skin was so crispy and the pork was juicy. We ordered most of the basic dishes like har gaw, sui mai, noodle rolls, turnip cake, stuffed eggplant, chicken feet, etc. and they were all above average. My only complaint is if you don't read Chinese, the menu is a little hard to navigate. The English subtitles are so small that if you're looking for something, you have to scan the front and back of the menu trying to find the item. I was looking for sticky rice in lotus leaf, but found sticky rice roll and thought it was the same thing. It wasn't. The sticky rice roll was not bad, but I found the rice drier than when it's in lotus leaf. We ordered a few things by mistake because the English subtitles were not that descriptive. Overall, a great alternative to more popular places like Koi Palace. The menu may not be as creative as Koi, but you don't have to deal with the lines and you still get great food.
