I've tried the grilled cut up pork and the lumpia as well as the tocino there. And it was fabulous! The workers there are very nice and will help with anything you need. You do walk up to order your own food and get it. Bonus they have karaoke there some days/nights I forget what times but it's a lot of fun! Try it out sometime!

Items made in the moment like the pork belly skewers were great. Other items had less demand, so they were sitting for too long (which you could tell) 3. Ambiance was good. The tables were clean, and napkins/toppings available in the side bar. Conclusion: The biggest issue is the pricing is not clear to the customer (both online, and in person). If it was, with the food quality, it would be a 3 star experience.

I found this place thanks to Instagram and it was soooo good !!…read more We came here with a party of 6 and we came Sunday. It was definitely lively !! Luckily we tried to go before church let out and all the heathens (haha) thought the same thing and it was busy. They were really sweet in the service, kept apologizing for food coming out late, but we didn't think it took that long. So we basically had the left side of the menu. Our favorites were definitely the Lechon meal, the Ube pancakes, the Longinista meal, than the Spam meal. My husbands favorite was the Pandam pancakes. They were sweeter than the Ube ones. We got 5 meals, 2 pancake meals, 6 drinks, and an order of Lumpia, all for $108.00 WOW !! That was so cheap, to feed 6 grown adults. Loved it !!

I'm usually pretty particular when it comes to Filipino food, but after seeing all the great…read morereviews for Mari's Kitchen on Yelp and TikTok, I wanted to give it a try! I stopped by for a late lunch and ordered the Tapsilog with sliced beef, egg, and rice. My first impression was great. Everything looked clean and spacious, and everyone was so kind and welcoming. The restaurant is also tucked inside an office building, which I thought was such a cute and unexpected little spot. My food came out in less than 10 minutes, so service was quick! The rice portion was super generous, especially compared to the amount of meat you get. As for the tapa, the flavor was a little different from what I'm personally used to. I'm from California, and the Filipino food I grew up eating tends to have a different flavor profile, so this version was new to me. The beef had more of a tangy, very sour flavor and aftertaste. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing at all, simply not the style of Filipino food I'm accustomed to. I think this comes down to personal preference more than anything! I didn't end up eating as much as I expected, so I was still hungry afterward. I'd definitely be open to coming back and trying another dish to see what else they have to offer. Overall, the space was lovely, the service was wonderful, and everyone made me feel welcome. It's a beautiful small business, and I hope people continue to support them!

We go here often our go to dishes are: - Pork sinigang, they let you choose your level of sourness - Lumpia - Pandesal - Pancit, choice of two types of noodles or mixed - Crispy Pata - Crispy Pork Belly They are mindful of seafood allergies, we also order Halo Halo this time. Since we had asked about egg allergies with the pandesal they were considerate to mention they could omit the flan that contained the egg. The service is excellent & I'm assuming some of the staff are owners, they are super nice. Karaoke options, clean restaurant, great space where tables are not bumping into each other. My only reason for docking a star would be that the food is extremely greasy, it tastes good but the meal can get pretty heavy. Definitely worth a try though!

Came here for the first time with my wife. We ordered the 3 choice plate each. We got pinakbet,…read moredinaguan, kare kare, longanisa, bangis and halohalo for dessert. Everything was delicious and flavorful. The dinaguan was a bit oily and they probably need to scoop out the huge oily layer, but its so tender and flavorful, but I don't want to have a heart attack either lol. love pinakbet and wished there was more bitter melon. The halo halo wasn't anything special, but still very delicious. Staff are very friendly. Lots of tables in this little mini food court within the Hong Kong market area. Lots of parking as well. The outside restroom is very surprisingly clean and nice. The usual asian markets that I've been to are normally dirty as fawk.

The meats were very tender and well cooked. Everything was pretty delicious and flavorful. The bibingka was the only thing I think was ok. I think the portions did not match the cost because it was definitely a lot smaller than I thought. We also ordered the Calamansi juice which was ok. Staff are friendly, but service is very slow. It took a while for someone to provide water and take our order. I did notice only 1 worker manning the front store and waitress duties. Lots of parking and tables available. If you are in a rush, then either phone order in advance or go somewhere else.

The food is great, taste like Metro-Manila restaurants cooked food. Their place hasn't change. They have two new bench dining tables. They just installed a new front business sign that can be easily seen from the highway. For dessert, ordered Halo-Halo and Mlik Tea with Boba. Taste great. Still the same owners and cook. Food is moderately price.

We also bring friends here to enjoy a meal with us to introduce them into filipino cuisine. They all love it! My go to is Kare kare, specifically oxtail ( when they have it).

Food: As one of the few Filipino restaurants in DFW (especially one that's highly rated), this was…read morea must-try. From the get-go, I appreciated the easy-to-digest menu (pun intended), which made ordering a cinch. My partner and I settled on the Lechon Kawali Kare Kare and Beef Pares. The Lechon Kawali Kare Kare was served with the lechon kawali on the side, separate from the sauce and veggies, which allowed it to retain its crispiness--a small but great attention detail. The dish is solid from a taste perspective, especially when paired with their bangoong. You can also eat the lechon kawali on its own, and there's a separate (tasty) sauce/dip for that. The Beef Pares was also great from a flavor perspective, but would have appreciated the meat to be more tender. Overall, the portions were pretty sizable, and each dish came with its own rice (the Beef Pares came with garlic fried rice). Service: Great! Waited on by a young man, who was attentive and professional. Also, came in on a Saturday afternoon to virtually no wait. Ambiance: Casual. Parking: Ample parking. Located in a plaza.

Dallas is finally getting some up-and-coming Filipino food from first-generation Filipino-Americans…read morewith a love for their cultural food. Not Your Lola's is one of these very pop-ups that you can catch around town introducing most people to their very first bites of Filipino cuisine. But these dishes aren't the exact translations of their parent's traditional recipes but rather their updated, inspired takes on signature flavors and dishes. Take for instance the arroz caldo, their answer to China's congee, but they ramp up this comforting rice and chicken porridge with a myriad of toppings bursting with flavor and texture. The ginger chicken base is studded with chicken and topped with spicy chili oil, funky kimchi, crunchy picked veggies, runny eggs, sweet pork floss and crispy chicken skin. This turns every bite into a different experience on your journey to the bottom of the bowl. This comes with combinations of hot, cold, spicy, sweet, salty, savory, creamy, crunchy, but all delicious. Take their version of champorado, a very chocolatey rice pudding frequently eaten for breakfast, but presented in dessert form, topped with bruleed baby bananas, toasted coconut and that signature drizzle of sweetened condensed milk. Sweet and moreish, this invites bite after bite until there is no more. They do more than rice, however. They've presented a beautifully braised coconut milk pork belly on a crispy sesame chip. It again balanced textures and taste sensations into one condensed, cohesive bite and appeared effortless. I am excited to see what they present next as they continue to innovate and serve food around town.

The prices,…read morehowever, are a bit steep for the portions, relative to other Filipino restaurants I've been to. A double plate at $12.99 (at the time of this review) comes with two entrees and a single scoop of rice, and there's a $2.50 upcharge for "premium" items, like Squid Adobo. For one of the double plates I ordered, I requested for Chicken Adobo, which only came with three small pieces of meat. Service: Went here on two occasions, and both were void of the feeling of welcome or hospitality you'd expect from a Filipino establishment. Ambiance: Casual. Parking: Ample parking.

It was pretty big so we didn't have any issues. Seating: Inside seating. Good for pairs or groups. Room for maybe 50-60 people. Vibes: The area is nothing too flashy. It's a suburban area mixed with chain businesses and local gems. The spot itself is an experience. We were lucky as we were welcomed with some afternoon karaoke. It's a spacious space with a compacted grocery on side, dining and karaoke stage, and then passing the food line is an extension to the coffee shop next door. Great place to relax, find your singing community, and enjoying some comforting Filipino food. FOOD / DRINKS Bilao (means wooden platter) (Recommend) You're welcomed with a medley of Filipino good eats - bbq skewers/pork belly, fried tilapia, lumpia, shrimp, egg roll, and rice. This is a traditional delight so if you're looking for the Filipino experience and comforting flavors, this is your best bet. You have flavorful savory meats, vegetal okra, garlic shrimp, and some crispy/cackling fish and lumpia. You definitely need a group of people (5-8) to finish this. Sago't Gulaman (means tapioca pearls and jelly) (Recommend) For a nice refreshing drink, this felt like sweet tea. A good balance of tapioca pearls and jelly that didn't overwhelm the drink. CUSTOMER SERVICE Celine was awesome! Friendly and super helpful as we navigated the menu. TL;DR OVERALL 5 Stars. Good food, reasonable prices and an all in all pleasant experience. Visiting from California and coming from a family of good cooks, I'm quite critical on Filipino food but this hits. I enjoyed the dishes, products, and enjoyed the community vibes they built. For those looking for Filipino comfort flavors or if you're trying it for the first time, definitely check them out!
