Amazing Filipino food with various options that are also newbie-friendly. Service was great and the portions are extremely generous. The pancit was so good and the halo halo brought back some many memories from my childhood. Highly recommend! read more

I would have given it 4 stars because the titas behind the counter were rude to my husband when he was trying to order (they had their friends jump the line and the friends even went behind the counter to get their food while my hubby patiently waited for them to finish ordering). However, there was a younger lady who was trying to help him but was pushed aside by the aggressive titas. When the friends of the titas finally left, she was able to help him and was very sweet. Because of her, I gave this restaurant 5 stars! The food is actually excellent and my son loved the sinigang soup. I loved the tasty arroz caldo! The food counter is a few steps from the bakery so it's pretty handy. read more

(Tookout 12/04/2022 SU @ 2:00pm): I was ready to get my fill at this "Pilipino" cafe! In my quest to explore the various cuisine scenes throughout Jersey City, I came across Cafe Pilipino to fill my Filipino food craving. Apparently, there was a growing Pinoy community that I never explored when I visited last year and hardly touched this time. With the prospects of having my Pinoy card taken away, how was this first foray into Jersey City's Filipino cuisine scene!? PURCHASE Lechon Kawali ($26.18): This was the main dish I came for and no one was going to be between me and my pork! Sold in large slabs by weight ($14.00/lb), after 1.87lbs later and a slab of meat hacked up into pieces for easier transport and eating, I was a happy boy. It was crispy, fresh, relatively meaty, and salty, but there was more fat that I would've liked. However, I had leftovers for days and repurposed this into bacon, pancetta, etc., which I was fine with https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=W-SmxrAYt0A3BxqlmJaCNQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Large Pinakbet ($15.00): Made with eggplant, green beans, okra, squash, and more, everything was fresh and healthy. I truly needed this to counteract all the meat dishes I bought https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=L-UbRysfOO8g_SBuLDoelQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Medium Pancit ($8.50): Made with a blend of angel hair and egg noodles, sliced carrots, onions, and more, it wasn't too greasy or salty, and I was lovingly eating this for days and thought about making a sandwich on the last leftover day https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=xIvt3jN8OylzBl5FnS1KRQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Medium Pork Adobo ($8.00): Seasoned and succulent chunks of pork with a hint of vinegar crammed into a plastic container, there was hardly any fat on these pieces - so darn good https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Ll7W3VBj9ehFhUvNj26mpg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Medium Menudo ($8.00): A mess of naughty seasoned tripe bits and chopped carrots in a beefy broth, this somewhat oily dish soothed the soul and would've paired well with some crispy bread https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=mIosVl7IahxLuwN4KfSscA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Large White Rice ($6.00): Just because you had to have rice https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=_IxuOKaGCQVW842xRD8qbQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! 12pc Pork Shanghai Lumpiang ($5.00): Perfect bite-size, crunchy, meaty snacks - always a favorite https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=ifEmVgxCDPD5ZlUSwK7JKw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! SERVICE The place was packed when I arrived, and I had to take a number. Thankfully, the line went quickly, and I had a chance to decide what I wanted. Once it was my turn, I went to town! As was usually the case whenever I patroned any Filipino business, I felt inadequate because I couldn't speak the Tagalog dialect... although I was able to understand tiny fragments when they spoke to me. Thankfully, I was used to this failure on my part and just rolled with it. The women behind the counter took care of me, packed all my dishes tightly, and hoped that I returned for more - salamat! PARKING (FREE; N/A this instance) This was a moot point since I walked. However, there was a sliver of a shared parking lot on the side, while there seemed to be plenty of spots along the main drag of Newark Ave. and all surrounding side streets. - nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A small corner shop within the bigger Philippine Bread House establishment, it was basically an order counter behind display cases as you chose from a limited selection of mainly Filipino food staples. There were a couple refrigerated coolers to grab a drink, and a few chairs & tables for dine-in options. Plenty of natural lighting came through all the various windows and front door while soul-sucking fluorescent electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. I noticed one TV while carolers sang in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=2PnWbNW1QC88Z_kBeOJKRg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops... if it weren't so freakin' cold. OVERALL Cafe Pilipino was a favorable introduction to Jersey City's Filipino cuisine which left me wanting more from this place and others. I loved the food, portion sizes, prices, and straightforward service. The only real knock was the limited menu, and I didn't see any sisig. Plus, I always preferred to support small mom & pop businesses. I found exceptionally good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $82.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, although they accepted credit cards, not mine of choice... AMEX! 4.5 STARS read more

This place is inside the Philippines bread store. Got the combo: two entrees with rice. The selection is rather limited since I came toward the closing time. There is a small section with a few tables that you can dine inside. The food isn't hot but warm enough to eat right away. The portion size is good and the food is tasty with gravy that pairs well with rice. It's a bit pricey at around $26 for two combos. read more

Cafe Pilipino is separately located in the back part of the bakery known as Philippine Bread House. I am a Duke (lol) of Philippine Bread House because I patronize them often making it highly convenient to walk a few feet to Cafe Pilipino. The cafe serves as a Turo Turo style table of food. You point point at what you want and they scoop it up. You can do combo platters or order by container. The menu is not exactly clear so i question the receipt often with good reason. The food is hit or miss. I have had some dishes that were good but more often had dishes that were meh, just ok. You have to watch as they dish out to prevent getting an unfilled container or getting a container full of fat with no meat. No indoor or outdoor dining. The customer service is minimal sans smiles or greetings. No display of passion in the service or food. I only come here when pressed for time and visiting the bakery. read more

My family & I have been going here for several years. The food is good & service is friendly. I've had their lumpia (friend & fresh), mungo, bistek, chopseuy, nilaga,sigang just to name a few - and they were all good. You can tell some of the reviewers are such "Karens" & complain over stupid things. They complain that the food isn't that good, yet they also complain that it's always packed in the weekend. If their food is really bad, then why is it always packed in the 1st place??? It also depends what time of day you go - obviously the earlier you go, the fresher the food is (and more selection). Yes, food may get dry and selection might become limited (esp. near closing time) but that's usually the case w/most Pinoy steamtable foods (turo-turo). Although not the best Pinoy food in JC (that would probably be Jayhan's in West Side), it's still decent food. But note that there are certain food items served here that's not at Jayhan's and vice versa. read more

You can get your fix for authentic Filipino cuisine at this little gem of a Filipino cafe near Journal Square. It also looks to be family owned with a few grandmas in the back working their magic and youth managing the customer-facing front. This is a well kept combo shop, housing a Filipino bakery on one side, and the cafe with both hot and cold food available. If you are not already familiar with Filipino food, it is very strongly flavored and has lots of salt. So get your glass of water ready. I highly recommend either their chicken or pork adobo. Also, when they finally get the ingredients again, halo halo is always a great Filipino dish. Generally, the prices are pretty cheap for their Filipino pastries. However, they recently upped the prices on their buffet menu from around $5 for a meal to over $8. Before it was a no brainer to get the combo meal with 2 entrees for $5.25. But now that same meal costs $9.25! That's a 60% price increase! Even when I gave it a chance during my last visit and purchased to the 2 entree combo, I found that the serving sizes actually decreased! I only got about 5 small pieces of meat, one piece of potato, and a ton of old and slightly dry rice. It was more like a sample appetizer than an "entree." (Check my posted images) Normally they have seating inside, unfortunately they haven't pivoted during the pandemic and did not setup any outdoor seating. They have limited customer capacity, shut down indoor dining, required customers to wear masks, and the staff also wears masks. I'd have given the spot 4 stars or better but, after the 60% price increase the value just isn't there anymore. Paying $10 a pop is pricy for a small lunch sized meal from a buffet. If it was made to order, perhaps it could stand. But this is a to-go buffet, with food that's been sitting there for hours. After all, we're not in Manhattan. There are many ALL YOU CAN EAT buffets within a 10-20 minute drive that are around $16 pp. Overall, this definitely a spot to get some good and authentic Filipino food when the yearning hits and it warrants the nearly $10 a plate price tag. I really like this spot, but with this last experience and the price bump I took it off of my list of regular spots. read more

This is our second time ordering their treyed menu. The first time we ordered beef with mushroom and chapsoy, it was excellent that's why we went back for the second time. The beef with mushroom we got was super hard and super dry. It's like chewing rubber. I was really looking forward to that because the first time was so good. For the chopsoy, it was dry and ddnt have any taste, it's just like steamed vege, barely have sauce in it. And they were late for about 30mins to give us our order. Overall it was just very disappointing that they were inconsistent read more

PROS 1. Garlic Okra was cooked well. 2. Chopped Adobo Chicken was Super Flavorful. 3. White rice was cooked well. 4. Prices are Reasonable. 5. Friendly staff. Especially Andrei. read more

Read about Cafe Pilipino on Hobokengirl.com. I used to come to Philippine Bread House many years ago. We had a delicious plate lunch! Pork adobo and beef-so tasty! And we also tried the sweet sausage and taro. Both delicious! My husband is from Hawaii and says everything tasted like home! Also ordered pancit. So glad there is still parking there! read more

Cafe Pilipino - Pancit - Filipino Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

If I could give negative stars I would have! I ordered a small beef tapa to go. When I got home I opened the container and it was not even full! They charged me $4.50 for a half pint of beef that was not reasonably filled. Please look at the picture I am adding. Also, the server was touching the inside of the container where the food goes. There is no common sense. She had no gloves! I had to say something and when I did that's when she changed the container. This place just lost a customer. I will be telling my family and friends not to go here. They are overpriced! I am a very unhappy customer! DO NOT GO HERE! There are other better Filipino restaurants. Go to West Side Ave! read more

Cafe Pilipino - $4.50 for a half pint of beef that wasn't even reasonably filled! - Filipino Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

The price is the highest among all the Filipino fast food that I have been to and the servers are very impolite and rude.

I was very upset when I ordered food to go. I ordered a mEdium container of their beef which they charge $8. Only to find it not even full when I got home! They are so overpriced! Their small container costs too much money. Last week I bought a TAPSILOG to go and when I got home the garlic rice smelled foul! Not garlic smell but spoiled smell. I will definitely NOT be coming back to this establishment! IF I CAN GIVE ZERO STARS I WOULD HAVE!! read more

Anong nangyari sa inyo mga kababayan kong pinoy sa cafe filipino? Wala ang paborito kong halo-halo kaya umorder muna ako ng kape habang nag iisip ng ipapares dito. Humiram ako ng susi ng CR niyo pero AYAW NIYONG IPAGAMIT ANG CR NYO KASI PANG DINE IN CUSTOMER LANG ITO. sabi ko ay di ko naman take out ito dahil dito ko naman iinumin sa restaurant niyo. Ang sagot niyo ay parehas lang ito? Na ang kape ko ay considered na take out kahit sa loob ng restaurant nyo inumin ito habang naghihintay sa misis ko. Halos isang dekada na kami lagi bumibili sa inyo... pero nakakadala kau! Nakakahiya kau!!!! read more

Having mother born and raised in the Philippines, I was really excited to find this little cafe. I'm not much interested in eating pricey filipino fusion food, like can be found in nyc, because it doesn't feel authentic to me. So, I don't ever eat filipino food unless I visit her, but that has changed now that I know about this place! It checks all the boxes for good casual filipino food. Cheap af Huge portions Delicious The pork adobo is fire, and the pancit is just like how my mom makes it. Only minor complaint I have is that the food wasn't very warm when it was served. Will definitely be back though. read more

Save your money. All they do is up charge you for everything. An extra $1.50 for pancit, an extra $1.50 for any beef choice, an extra $1.50 for any pork choice....if they could charge you extra for the air conditioner, they probably would. The food is always cold. I live one block away, by the time I go home, Its cold. Like the fat in the Adobe harden. SMH. I firmly believe this gave me food poisoning because the food wasn't properly holding at the the correct and safe temperature for their hot food options. If you want good Filipino food, and similar prices, go to Little Quiapo, to the left of the building, near the parking lot area. Those Auntie's over there cook amazing food, it's soooooo good, and they are so nice!!!!! The Auntie's over here ....they are definitely the mean ones! Save your money...and save your stomach from the pains. read more

Food is great and service is better. The place looks very cute and has some nice design throughout the place. I love that they have small products around the cafe that can peek your interest. Would recommend if its your first time eating filipino food or if youve been eating filipino food for a long time. read more

Ordered the chicken adobo, fruit salad, and buko pandan. The chicken adobo tasted off - felt like it was stale, definitely reheated. The fruit salad and buko pandan were also not fresh (the coconut sauce was 'cracked', like it had sat for a long time). read more

Food was terrible. Cold and gamey. Meat was tough to chew and half of it was all fat. Didn't respond to any of my requests.

Great food at a cheap price. It's located in the Philippine Bread House with the typical cafeteria-style set-up that you'd see in a food court at the mall. There's plenty of seating, they have a big flat-screen TV in the corner that's always tuned into The Filipino Channel (TFC), and there's a small parking lot next to the building. I've always set high standards for Filipino restaurants because I'm so used to the homemade meals that my mom cooks, but I've been coming here for the past decade and Café Pilipino has yet to disappoint me with its authenticity, variety, and flavor. They even serve bubble tea and halo-halo (a popular Filipino shaved ice dessert). I've had many dishes here over the years but during my most recent visit, I ordered the bopis and paksiw na lechon, and I tried my friend's binagoongan. Everything was really good. My friend and I each ordered two dishes served with 2 cups of rice - only $5.50 per person! What a bang for your buck!!! I'm deducting a star because although the food is very tasty, it's often served cold and the parking lot is so tiny that it's almost always a pain to get in and out of. However, if you're looking for a cheap and authentic Filipino meal, this is a pretty good place to start. read more

Always fresh, always a treat! There meals are great to order and reheat for dinner. I love to go there when I need my Filipino food fix, it's one of my favorite places and it's nice that it's in the Philippine Bread House, so be sure to pick up some desserts and treats on the way out! read more

I used to love this place, coming here once or twice a week after work. Since the pandemic that decided to only stay open until 5pm so no chance for me to stop by coming from Newark. By the time I get there most of the food are gone. I try to avoid coming here during the weekend because the place gets packed but since I can't make it during the week I stopped by one Saturday. I was deeply disappointed because the quality of the food is not what it used to be. I did not care much about the price raise but certain things shouldn't cost that much. I will keep supporting Cafe Filipino but will limit myself to coming once a month until the quality of food gets better. I also hope you are open a little later than 5pm during the week! read more

I came here for lunch on a Sunday. The cafe is relatively new and located inside Phillipine Bread House. There were a lot of Filipino people eating there so I knew the place was legit. The combo meals for lunch were definitely a good deal - about $6-8 for a meal that could feed 2 people. We ordered the pancit (noodles with pork and veggies), chicken adobo, and the kare kare (stew with a thick savory peanut sauce and oxtail) which altogether was only $8. It was a lot of food and tasted pretty fresh. I really like the kare kare - it was very heavy but they put some vegetables on top which helped. They also sell dessert items like halo halo ($5.25) but I was too full to order it. read more

Cafe Pilipino - Pancit and chicken adobo - Filipino Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

My son and I are on a journey of exploring our roots of being Fil-ams and what better way than experiencing the food at Cafe Pilipino. We made the trek from Sparta in Sussex county and it was well worth the trip! We got there on a Saturday afternoon and only a few other patrons, which I don't mind because I don't like crowded spots. We were greeted by a big smile and healthy servings of chicken adobo, lumpia, rice and bistek. Completely satisfied and I called the rest of my family before we finished our meal to let them know we found a gem in the heart of Jersey City. Will be back for sure for the bakery side and the ube that we were too full for. Mabuhay. read more

I use to LOVE this place until in December I ordered some trays for my sons bday. Which I do every year. I told them I would be there at 11:15 to pick up. When I got there it wasn't ready. I wasn't upset at first until they kept taking care of other people and ignoring me. I waited and waited when I had to be at the hall by 12 to set up. Meanwhile they are talking about me in Tagalog not knowing I understand and speak a little. I did not get my tray until 12: 30. It made me late to set up for the party and to start the party. They didn't apologize or at least discount the cost. They had plenty of trays of pancit and lumpia ready for customers they could've given me since mine wasn't ready. I don't know if it was because they were just rude or didn't care bc they thought I wasn't Filipino. I have always highly recommended this place but i ABSOLUTELY never will again. Plus they threw it together so fast the pancit was nasty. I know they don't care about 1 persons review but they should. They should learn some customer service and manners. Big disappointment and almost ruined my sons bday thank god we had other foods. read more

I don't much about Filipino food. My friends saud this place was good. I have the ox tail, lumpia, noodles and beef, I wasn't crazy for any. The halo halo was good though, a bit too sweet for my taste. read more

Came here and got the breakfast special with tapa, as well as a halo-halo. The tapa was a bit dry and salty in my opinion, but the garlic rice and fried egg were pretty good. I do think they could have done a better job at keeping the serving trays heated. The halo-halo was beautifully presented and tasted excellent, with just the right amount of sweetness and creaminess. read more

I think most people mistook this place with Philippine Bread House, which shared the same store as this cafe. Cafe Philipino offered tasty food with a very low price. Around $10, you can get two meals. It's like the cafeteria style, which if you saw something looked good, you ordered it. The adobo style meats were the best. I have added the pork, beef, and chicken. They were tender, tangy and salty. read more

My go-to for casual Filipino cafeteria style food, as it's inside the PBH and just so convenient. I really like the longanisa (sweet sausages) and the large vegetable spring rolls. Occasionally they will have the fried bagus (milkfish) that is just done well and the sisig (ground pig parts) is also pretty good. read more

I can't believe how great the prices are, considering how delicious the food is. I've been coming here a lot and recently grabbed a pretty sizeable order to bring over to a Thanksgiving gathering, which everyone seemed to enjoy.

Conveniently located inside Philippine Bread House, Pilipinas Cafe offers your standard turo-turo cafeteria-style Filipino food experience. The employees are friendly and the food is cooked fresh everyday. I've been coming here since I was a kid. They have plenty to choose from at breakfast including tocilog, tapsilog, and my favorite, longsilog (sweet longanisa sausage). This comes with a scoop of fried garlic rice or pancit and a fried egg ($5 total). This is far from healthy, but it sure is tasty. Back in the day, you would get 2 heaping scoops of rice, but they've weened it down to a conservative single scoop. BUMMER. An extra scoop is $0.80. If you want to get another dish instead of the fried egg, pay an extra $0.75. During the afternoon, they extend their lunch and dinner selection, which often includes sinigang, barbecue (Filipino-style kebabs), adobo, kare kare, dinuguan, lumpia, and much more. The menu changes everyday depending on the availability of ingredients. Most likely, you'll have the best and freshest choice if you arrive earlier in the day. The food is very traditional, which is why you can get a similar meal all over Jersey City for about the same price. I prefer going here because they have some parking, which is always at a premium in Jersey City these days, and the vast selection of desserts in the bakery. They also sell bubble tea and halo-halo if baked goods aren't your thing. The cafe consists of about a dozen tables with a flat screen on the wall always tuned to The Filipino Channel. The tables are always clean and the condiments are plentiful - vinegar, banana ketchup, conventional ketchup, vinegar, sweet chili sauce, vinegar. Yes, we like our vinegar! You'll have to bus your own table afterwards (toss trash into the garbage and stack your plate with other dirty dishes), but for just $5 for a plateful of delicious Filipino fare, you certainly can't complain! read more

Awesome Filipino cuisine on this quaint little place. Pansit Palabok is very tasty, not salty or fishy at all unlike other places. Beef Steak is tangy and (again) not salty or fatty. Pansit Bihon is enjoyable and good accompaniment to their Lechon. Ginisang Amplaya (bitter melon) is just a tad bitter, yummy when eaten with the beef steak. I will definitely be back! This place is legit. read more

Well hello Pilipino. I was looking for a yummy yet inexpensive place to get coffee and something small for breakfast. Well, when you're close by an authentic bakery from Amy culture...just go. Have that experience!!! It was SO affordable to eat here. 1 pork bun is 1.50 and 1 small cup of coffee was 1.25. So for UNDER $3.00 no taxes charged, you can eat here. But wait, there's more. You can eat hot cooked entrees here as well. read more

Even though we were navigating to a burger joint, I saw a number of Filipinos making their way to this little gem of a place and said we had to give this a try. So glad we did! We got the noodles, crunchy lechon, beef stew, veggies, pork kabob and chicken. The strawberry smoothie and papaya bubble tea was refreshing and a good balance of sweetness. Needless to say our eyes were bigger than our stomach, but that's less a problem when the food is good and you like leftovers. We also grabbed some ube rolls and raisin bread on the way out. Every other person bought basketfuls of baked goods. Can't wait to try them later. read more

I was called for jury duty and decided to go to my good friend Yelp to help me decide on where to eat for lunch. This place had pretty decent reviews so I decided to give it a try.... My initial reaction was that this place has poor customer service. I was literally waiting in line and the counter person finished the transaction with the person in front of me and then walked away to go sit down to eat. I'm like hello... I'm 5'8 and pretty hard to miss, no explanation or anything. I looked at her table where 2 other employees were enjoying their lunch and completely ignored me. I thought to leave but I caught that eye of another employee behind of the hot food counter and she helped me, she was quite pleasant. I ordered the adobo pork with fried rice and okra. The pork was very tender and tasty, the rice was flavorful also, but it included the crunchy bottom of the pot rice that I do not like. Even at home I throw it away and didn't expect that little "treat" to be included in my rice. The okra were tasty, different from how I've tasted it before, but I liked it. In the meanwhile, several kids came in to have lunch, a school must be in the area. However, this table full of employees made no effort to quickly finish their food to allow patrons to sit and enjoy their meal. I noticed an elderly couple holding their tray of food with nowhere to sit and not a motion made by the employees to get up. I quickly finished drinking my Thai bubble tea and offered them to take my table and they gratefully accepted. If you decide to go to this spot, it is connected to a bakery, so here are the ordering instructions: If you want hot food, go directly to the hot food counter to place your order, get a tray and put your food on it and then go to the cashier to pay and then you can get a seat, unless of course it's lunch time and the employees decide to take a break and it's lunchtime for the kiddos in the area. In this case hold your tray and look pitiful, maybe a nice person will offer their seat. The meal was cheap and the employees clearly enjoyed the food also, which is always a good indication, so give it a try You can also get it to go. read more

It's alright. The price is cheap so you shouldn't expect much. I was disappointed because the food was very oily, it could have been better with presentation (food was spilling over the styrofoam cup - not an IG-worthy photo), and the staff was distracted - almost not friendly. I wish they leveled up the carinderia experience but sadly, did not. :( read more

Good gawd you can gain 12 lbs on a meal alone here. This is where you want to be if you want fast casual Filipino food in the area. Yes, a lot of the meat dishes are swimming in oil - so if you don't have the stomach for it, the options are pretty limited. The ox tail sort of stew was very interesting - I didn't expect peanut paste in it. Fried eggplant is a must - and it's a whole piece to boot. Pancit was delicious with pork and veggies. Great combo deals with no frills. read more
