Been back several times since my first review and service has really been hit or miss, more than a…read morefew times I've had to ask multiple times for my drink, the food is still really good but the portions seem like they've gotten smaller. They now have 3 size options for the lechon kawali bowl, regular and family, the bowl is 3 pieces the regular is 6 pieces and family is 8 pieces so about $7 up charge per 2 pieces really wish they had atchara with the lechon kawali and crispy pata

The only Filipino resto so far I've seen big portions. Nice! Impressive. The foods are delicious. We had several dishes that filled us and had left overs to take home. Pinapaitan had the right bitterness and well balanced-not overwhelming from what I've experienced in the past. We had 2 breakfast plates: Bang-silog and the Tapsilog. I also ordered tortas talong. I thought we went overboard but I'm sure we can eat the rest at home with no problem. The bill was just right and the whole experience was pleasant and enjoyable. I recommend it.

Wow! I've lived in the area for 5 years and this was my first time trying it -- I'm so glad I did…read more We went for lunch on a Sunday and it was busy. There are about 14 tables inside, and it's an order-at-the-counter type of place where they bring the food to your table. When we ordered there weren't any tables open except a small two-person counter table in the corner. It felt a little cramped, but we made it work. The food came out in about 10 minutes, and when it hit the table we were surprised by the massive portions. We definitely took a lot home. The meat in every dish was super tender and fresh. I'd recommend everything we ordered: the 808 plate, garlic noodles, mango refresher, mochi cake, and the sea salt caramel coffee. We'll definitely be back!

The macaroni salad had a bit more mayonnaise than I would prefer and after a few bites it gets too 'rich'. The crispy pusit has been "out of stock" for over a month. To avoid confusion, it may be best to remove or cover this from their menu temporarily.. The overall experience was very good and I would definitely go back again to sample more of their menu.

This time i was greeted by a young girl who was super fun & helpful. I should have asked her relation to the owner gentleman. I wanted that chicken coconut curry. Man it was amazing. I ate it for 3 meals. Each one better than the last. I even got some extra curry on my rice. So coconutty & the chicken was delish. The lumpia are fricking yummy. I got 3 extra. Their rice is this consistency that I love & works so well with chopsticks. The owner came out & we chatted, he confirmed the 1 year was coming up. They truly have grown & established themselves. Great Philippine food is such a treat. Great people serving it is just a blessing.

They had a break between lunch and dinner, but graciously allowed us to dine during the break since we arrived close to their 2 PM lunch closing time. Parking was easy, with available spots on the street or in the nearby neighborhood.

We also had the pancit palabok, bulalo, and shroom shroom fried rice, and every single dish was packed with flavor. Everything came out quickly, but a chef even stopped by our table to drop off some adobo to apologize for the wait--which honestly didn't feel like a wait at all. I'm glad we got to try it though because the adobo had a nice kick and paired perfectly with white rice. The ambiance was very welcoming with plenty of seating, and our server was kind and attentive--constantly refilling our waters. 10/10 experience and can't wait to come back again!

I did like the Ube burger more, because of the longganisa meat. However when my food came my longganisa was a bit undercooked, so I had to return it to the kitchen, and maybe it took another 20mins or so to get it back but I think that was just their timeline because everyone came in at the same time. The owner was super nice enough to gift my mom a bottle of tanduay. My mom has always been looking for one in WA state but couldn't find, she uses this for cooking and surprisingly the owner just gave her a bottle for free. O_O E

I came across CheBogz the night before searching IG for places to eat, I actually got excited and…read morelooked at all the Instagram post for CheBogz and perfect timing, Plate Of Nation week is going on now and CheBogz was one of the restaurant participating. I learned that this Brick & Mortar started as a food truck, now has a restaurant in the Beacon Hill area near the rail . The business name CheBogz is the owner's parent's nickname. There was a line when we arrived and they are very busy, there are 2 staff working taking orders and delivering food, be patient. Place your order at counter & bus your own table . Everything on the menu and the specials sounds great, I was happy to see they have a P.L.R plate ($11.) which is Pancit, Lumpia (6) and Rice, this is my all time favorite combo or any Filipino's favorite combo too. hehe. This is the best combo ever!! Ended up with the Plate of Nation combo to share Chicken Adobo (fried) with the 6 lumpia and plate of the Island Combo which came with pork ribs, shrimp, longanisa, Calamansi drink and Cassava Cake. The verdict, Wow. really tasty Filipino food, way better that the over-rated one at Pikes. I like the fried chicken adobo style with the gravy , the pancit, the lumpia, longanisa, ribs, everything was so good, major comfort foods while at Seattle. The calamansi drink was so refreshing. We loved that green sauce, first time trying, I need to learn more about that sauce. The cassava cake, omg wow!, Do not skip on this one, super GOOD! I had cassava before but this one hits different. @$8. a slice, it was so worth it. Before we left I went back to get another slice to go. All in all, so glad we got to check it out after my IG search, we loved and enjoyed every bite! Yep. We will be back next time we visit!

Also, I don't even really like pancit, but I devoured theirs. It was the perfect citrusy flavor. I actually kind of wish I asked for more pancit instead of rice! Really good. We also split the adobo rolls. I think it needs a sauce, but still good. Never thought of service adobo that way. Service - food came out quick. its an order at the counter kind of situation. Ambiance - Very chill spot, not fussy. indoor seating but would be a little harder with a big group.

Our office gets a list of the weekly offerings on Monday, so when I heard that later in the week there would be Salu-Salo Filipino Kitchen, bringing Filipino food, I most definitely made lunch plans. I was coming in from a meeting in Fremont, so didn't go to the pop-up/Salu-Salo Filipino Kitchen as soon as it started service (around 11am). With that said, I nearly missed out on the chicken adobo! I took the last of the chicken adobo an hour and a half after the lunch service started, so was counting my blessings! I ordered the lunch plate, which came with chicken adobo, pancit, rice and pickled veggies. My lunch plate was solid. Chicken adobo was tender and really, really liked how vinegar-y the flavor was, which, any Filipino would tell you that all food tastes better with vinegar! Pancit wasn't bad, but not the best. Some of the noodles were on the dry side, but I did like the cabbage and green onion throughout. Pickled veggies were a nice addition, adding more sour flavor to the overall entree. For someone who hardly ever has Filipino food and desperately misses mom's cooking, I was just happy to have Salu-Salo bring some adobo to the area. I would definitely recommend checking out Salu-Salo if you ever see their stand around. They don't update their social media channels, unfortunately, so is a little difficult to find where their stand will be. And when I asked if they participate in any markets, they do not. But the owners did mention that they visit downtown Seattle often at other office buildings around. Therefore, I have a feeling I'll be seeing them soon and getting my Filipino cuisine on. (Plus, bonus points for the owner being from the Bicol region of the Philippines, which is where my mom's side is from. Love that!)

Salu-Salo put Fillipino food on the map for me, and thank god for that…read more I do not know why it has taken so long for this cuisine to become popular in the U.S. because frankly, its freaking delicious! Salu-Salo offers a wide variety of dishes with unique flavor profiles. With some of the dishes, I can't compare them to anything I have ever tried before. For example, my favorite dish on the menu is the Laing Express, which is made with coconut milk, taro leaves, topped with a delicious crispy piece of pork belly. With a topping of pork belly, how could anything go wrong? This dish has an amazing earthy flavor, with a bit of a kick to it. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. How often to you get to eat purple desserts? Ube cake gets its color from purple yams! Salu-Salo's ube coconut topped ube cheesecake balls are not just adorable, they are addicting. Not overwhelmingly sweet, and perfect for sharing, these are a treat. For those with dietary restrictions, Salu-Salo is a great option because there are plenty choices. As someone who is gluten free, all of the main dishes are fair game. This is often very rare when dining out for me!! Here's to Salu-Salo for exposing Seattleites to what Filipino food is all about. Rosario's cuisine feels like a healthy take on comfort food. Each dish bursting with flavor, yet still accessible to all ages. The idea behind comfort food is all about the thought that goes into the prep. After tasting Salu-Salo's food, I promise you can tell a lot of care goes into the preparation of each dish. I am looking forward to this becoming a Seattle institution, and hope it inspires more Filipino cuisine to start popping up in the PNW.

I come back to this restaurant per request of my parents. My dad likes coming here for their chopsuey. The vegetables are fresh and cooked perfectly. I have ordered sinigang, bicol express and their kare-kare. All the entrees come with servings of rice (2-3 portions). The dishes are meant to be served family style so that you can share the dishes. They have a little sauce bar to pair your food with your favorite sauce whether that's soy sauce, vinegar, etc. The only reason why I give this place 3/5 stars is due to the owner's attitude. I ordered a lechon kawali kare-kare and lechon kawali was brought out, no kare-kare. When I mentioned to her that the order was incorrect, she argued with me that is what I ordered. I told her that we did order it but she must have not heard us. Instead of trying to mitigate the order, she continued to argue with us that we did not order it. It took another worker to pull her aside to prevent her from arguing with us further. We could hear her keep trying to justify that we did not order correctly. The worker tried to offer the correct order to us, but we declined. We did not want to argue any further and just eat our meal at this point. The restaurant looks in good shape and has good Filipino food. They could use improvement on their service. We will likely be back per request of my parents but otherwise I would avoid if I don't need to eat here.
