Always looking for amazing Asian places and this hits the spot! It's a Filipino and Hawaiian food truck and the owner is so nice! We arrived on a Saturday night around 7pm. Weather was absolutely perfect to sit outside and it was not busy at all. They do make the food fresh after you order so you might have to wait 20min or so but worth it. The poke bowl was so flavorful, fresh, and the furikake rice was the perfect complement. Chicken Katsu was my favorite as each piece was crispy, juicy, and the sauce made it even better. Mac and cheese salad, can't go wrong. Pork bbq skewers were super flavorful and portion sizes were generous. I highly recommend checking them out if you're in the area, date night, craving Asian food, or just something new! read more

Returned to try the leche flan and the lumpia. The lumpia was crispy and well worth the price, ab order comes with 5 pieces! Because we weren't able to get the leche flan last time, the same person helping us gave us extra and it was delicious and creamy! Got the loco moco again but will definitely be back to try the other dishes. read more

Excellent food truck experience. My girlfriend and I both got the Loco Moco which comes with a dessert! The plate is a very generous amount of food and real tasty. the flan is a small portion but the texture is amazing and very sweet for a small treat at the end of an already tasty meal. Side note: a loco moco we ordered accidentally tipped over and spilled all over the ground, my girlfriend brought it to the attention of the food truck worker who happily made another plate. I'd happily give this food truck my business again. Very grateful to know good people and service is around atx. read more

This was really good. I came by on my way home from work. I bought the Hawaiian chicken meal. Was very filling. I actually couldn't eat the whole thing. Had left overs for lunch. Chicken was super moist with so much flavor. The rice was good. I had a macaroni salad, and flan for dessert. I can't wait to try their lumpia and pancit. I'll be back again to try more of their menu! Such a great food truck park. There about 8 to 10 other trucks. read more

I was so excited to try and so glad I did! It was hard to decide what to eat, because I wanted to try everything. I was able to narrow it down and so happy with my decision. I will definitely want to return to try their other plates. So, The pork BBQ was made to perfection the meat was tasty and the sauce made it so much better. It came with a Hawaiian macaroni salad and my only regret is that I didn't order more. The rice and veggies were also a perfect combination with the pork BBQ. Now, my fave part was that the plate included a dessert. I picked the leche flan and it was the right sweetness after having a nice meal. The kimchee shrimp was so hard to stop eating and it was seasoned so well. Both lumpia's are exactly what you want from Filipino food. read more

Sarap! The Filipino pork BBQ brought back memories of the pork BBQ my Lolo (grandfather in Filipino) would grill up for the family party every New Year's Eve. It was a real Ratatouille moment - you know, with the food critic being reminded of his childhood upon taking that first bite. Well, it's not quite on the same level as my Lolo's but it's pretty damn good if they can do that. The pork BBQ specifically I feel is difficult to find in the Austin metro area, so I'm happy Far East Far West is close to me. I always gotta get the lumpia too. Their katsu and shoyu chicken are also good but I haven't tried anything else from the menu yet. Looking forward to trying their poke, lau lau, and loco moco sometime. As for their pork adobo, I prefer chicken but I want to try this too sometime. It's nice to have a good option for Filipino food that's closer to me than Little Mama's, as well as a second option for Hawaiian food besides Shoyu Sugar. I'll keep coming for sure. Maraming salamat (at magandang gabi bayan...sorry, corny joke for any Filipinos who watched TV Patrol growing up), Far East Far West! read more

We were driving around and discovered this Filipino food truck by chance. We're so glad we did! The Poke Bowl was fresh and reminded me of authentic Hawaiian poke. My fiancé ordered the Pork BBQ plate and the BBQ sticks were full of flavor and the mac salad was good too. My favorite was the Leche Flan; it was so smooth. The owner was really kind to us and their service was great. We would definitely like to order from them again if we're in the area! read more

You wont be disappointed ! Tips : this is located in a food truck lots with many others trucks, but when I came, his truck was the only one that open ( on a sunday night ) .

Before I start this review, note that the husband is Filipino and we had a recent Hawaii trip. So these flavors were fresh in our mind. The food is legit good. The portions are great, the flavors are spot on, and the dessert is a nice little addition. Even though the lau lau was not covered in taro leaves, it was so good. The truck is owned by a lovely human being who is Filipino and lived in Hawaii so I respect that honoring of the roots. I will definitely come back and also want to check out the other food trucks in that park as well. read more

After seeing a post on social media I decided to give this place a try. I'm from Hawaii and there's only 1 or 2 places in Austin that makes legit dishes from Hawaii. The location has lots of picnic tables, a restroom and parking. They are located off the Main Street so you can't miss it. I already knew what I wanted to order - the Lau Lau plate with macaroni salad. It comes with rice, 2 sides and dessert. Great deal! Plus they got Aloha Maid drinks. The lau lau is not made with traditional luau leaves, it is made with spinach. I was surprised to see pokè and lomi salmon on my plate. The portion size was good for me. My dessert was flan. Everything was good and reminded me of a lau lau plate from Hawaii. Lau lau was hot and tasty. All I can say is the food was 'ono' and I will be back to order something else. read more

We decided to try a few different items from this little food truck park. Far East Far West was the deciding factor though. That loco moco was exactly what I was in the mood for. It was served so hot, so fresh. The egg was perfect, gravy was delicious (and the guy volunteered extra gravy, which made me, a sauce whore, so happy). The macaroni salad was delish as well. It was served with a dessert which I forgot to eat and a slaw which I didn't personally care for but it looked good! My boyfriend got the bbq pork skewers, which we both loved. Absolutely recommend this place. read more

It's even so cute that they give a small bite size of flan with your order. We def gotta go back to try the pork bbq as someone bought them all out so he didn't have any to sell (which is a good thing because it must be good!) Would definitely go back! read more

A Filipino Hawaiian food truck located in north west austin near Travis lake. This is the first time I had Lua Lau, but according to the chef, they steam the pork and vegetables for 8 hrs. So the pork was very tender. The pork was a bit too fatty for me as I can get sensitive to very fatty food. The side dishes, the poke, was pretty good. I was very fully by the end of the meal. So you get good amount of food for a good price. According to my friends, their menu is served very common Hawaiian food. So if you never had it before, try Hawaiian food without going to Hawaii, you can come here. read more

Really good Hawaiian Philippine cuisine. Try the loco moco, lau-lau plates, spam musubi; ahi poke bowl; chicken katsu Hawaiian style. I tried the chicken adobo & lumpia (egg rolls) and Philippine noodle dishes (pancit bihon); glass noodles and more. Very delicious cooking just like being in the Islands hanging loose. Try them out and enjoy good food while helping an Islander Texan. It's a food truck court so dress accordingly. Easy parking, good vibes; look for Victor the very friendly owner. read more

I've been looking for top-quality Hawaiian food for the last 3 years in Texas, and I was actually about to just give up a book a flight back until I was referred to Far East Far West. A client of mine from Honolulu actually recommended it to me, so I had to see what he was talking about. Their Shoyu chicken is exactly the flavors I was looking for. It was sweet, salty, and perfectly grilled. I'm not a huge fan of mac salad, but they do something magical to theirs. Whoever was assisting me in ordering was right when they insisted I give it a try. I would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant to those unfamiliar with Phillippino and Hawaiian food - this is probably the best you will try in the states! read more

Filipino Hawaiian spot so close to home?! I flipped out when I saw them opening up. This place is great and I hope more come out to support. I don't think I've seen lau lau anywhere else in Austin. The included lomi lomi was a nice surprise as well. I'm not a big fan of the veggies but I'm not a big fan of veggies in general. Lau lau was decent, it scratched an itch I've had for a while. The loco moco was good too, could use more gravy though but overall great for Austin! Only wish they had kalua pig or some pipikaula beef or maybe some lechon kawali... maybe I'm just hungry.

Oh man, where to begin... while looking into Filipino food spots in San Antonio, this place kept…read morecoming up over and over again. Safe to say, the hype led me here--and here's how it went. AMBIANCE Parking: Two plazas one to the store and one to the restaurant. So you shouldn't have any issues. Seating: Plenty! Room for maybe 70-100. Great for individuals, pairs, large groups, such as party reservations. Vibes: My pulse of San Antonio was pretty charming (especially the Downtown area). This area is moreover the grit and grind/not so touristy area but an important contributor to the San Antonio economy none the less. The restaurant/bakery/store itself is awesome! I dig the mural of Filipino-descent player - Dylan Harper, there's even a cool playground outside for kids. It was cool receiving a warm kamayan welcome from the servers as you enter. I like the Filipino tropical energy the restaurant gives out from the plant decor, art, and their homage to their roots from their ancestor shelf. The pop lofi music in the background was comforting to chill and enjoy the food. Great for a solo food adventure, catch up meal with a friend, or special occassion party. FOOD / DRINKS Sari-Sari Special (Recommend) For all indecisive people, this is the way, this is the choice. I ordered the three main plate specifically choosing the (Diniguan, Chicken adobo, and Fried Pork Belly). The staples of the lumpia and noodles were a delight. Lumpia had a nice umami crunch and the noodles were comforting. Chicken Adobo - is my usual baseline to measure foods and this provided a nice comfort feel with a balance of savory soy-vinegar with a lot of sauce to add on to your rice. Dinuguan - if you don't know, now you know. This pork stew was another comfort delight. As the gravy mixed well with the vinegar and spices. A good stew texture with that signature rich savory and tangy flavors. Pork Belly Kawali - For something signature, this is it. As recommended by Owner Adrian - usually you need special sauce to complement this dish but it stands very well alone - a rich savory balance of crispy edges, tender pork meat, and natural buttery fat with every slice. Ube Horchata (Recommend) This was a fun fusion drink. A homage to the Mexican influences and Filipino influences. Creamy, cinnamon-forward horchata mixed with ube sweetness. CUSTOMER SERVICE Rome was great! Friendly and knowledgable on the menu. I enjoyed our conversation. TL;DR OVERALL 5 Stars. Great food, reasonable prices, and a pleasant vibe. I enjoyed my experience here overall. I'm usually critical on Filipino restaurants as they can't top my family's cooking but I feel like this complements their cooking. I'd actually take them over here for the food and the community comfort. For those in San Antonio, this place is definitely worth stopping by. Salamat and ingat to Adrian, Camille, and the rest of the Sari-Sari family. #FilipinoFoodMovement #RepresentAZN TIPS: * A great intro for first timers to Filipino food.

Filipino pop music covers play in the background, and the decor adds to the feel of being back in the islands. The Filipino service and cook staff also are good signs. There is a store connected to the restaurant where you can find great Filipino staples like snacks and condiments and even frozen items like tocino and bangus. Definitely will be back as I always do when I'm in San Antonio.

The lumpia is made to order so it comes out hot and fresh. It's packed with seasoned ground beef and you can tell the difference. We got the pancit bihon with pork and the balance of protein and veggies was really good. We added their house made chili oil to the noodles and honestly that was the move. Nobody around town makes chili oil like that. The crispy pork belly roll was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, stuffed with herbs, garlic, and onion. The aromatics really enhance the dish and took it to the next level! The pork BBQ sticks were juicy and you could taste the marinade. The sauce leaned sweet but with everything else on the table it balanced out really well. This is a Filipino family owned and operated business and it shows. The staff is really friendly and you can tell they take pride in what they're serving. They also have a small selection of Filipino grocery and food items if you want to take something home. If you're on the northwest side of San Antonio, this place is worth the visit! TikTok: @gabbieinthegalley

As a filipino, I love sweet longanisa but I prefer the sausage wrapped ones because I like a bit of char on it. I didn't love their pancit, but loved their garlic rice. We also tried their kwek kwek (fried quail eggs) and it was tasty and love that it came with suka (vinegar sauce). I asked for a sweet chili sauce as well. There's a few streetfood items here that's hard to get elsewhere in San Antonio, like bulaklak. I was tempted to try even though it's pretty unhealthy. They're crispy, fried pork tissue fat and usually have a nice chewy texture. My favorite thing that we ordered was the pork sisig. It came out on a sizzling plate. I just wish it had more mayo and garnishes on it. Mostly just pork flavor. Our waiter was nice and the freshly made juice was amazing. We got a huge glass of fresh watermelon juice and calamansi lemonade. The restaurant itself seems like a venue for parties too, since they have a small karaoke stage. They also connect to a small grocery store with several Filipino staples. I was able to pick up Datu Puti vinegar and some Boy Bawang cornick! I'd come back if I was closer in the area or if i'm really craving a Filipino dish that I can't already make at home.

Having been twice, I realize they have an expanded menu only available during the weekends (including bbq skewers). The line moves relatively quick and the service is great considering the amount of space and numerous food options.

This was the absolute strangest dining experience ever. My son, friend, and I went for lunch today…read more We were thinking to try the lunch buffet, since none of us had been there before. When we arrived at 12:15, the place was empty. It was really strange... was there no 'lunch rush'? Anyhow, there was a guy behind the counter but offered no assistance. We didn't know if we sit ourselves or wait to be seated; so we asked. He looked confused. My son went to the counter (where they sell pleather wallets, Funko Pop dolls, olive oil, and purses). Yes, you read that right. The guy offered one menu for the three of us, saying they only had the one. It looked like someone took a bite out of it (part of it was missing). Since we were planning to eat there, we sat ourselves and decided to make the best of it. A lady came to the table (we thought she might be the owner). She mentioned she can only offer four items on the entire menu - she then rattled off what they were - but it was so fast, I don't remember what she said. There was no buffet, and nothing else. I'd never had Filipino food before, so I had questions. We never got to my questions. She asked my son what he'd like. Since he didn't get to look at the one menu yet, he said that he'd like to get lumpia for the office and chicken adobo. She asked how many lumpia and he said about twenty. She then told him they were $1 each and walked away. That was it. We weren't allowed to finish ordering. He didn't even get a drink order in before she walked away. We sat there giggling about how strange this encounter was. We assumed she would have been back to get the rest of our orders. She did not return. Fifteen minutes later, she comes out and says everything is ready to go. We all look at each other wondering what happened. In unison, we got up and went to the cashier. I mentioned to her that we were all hoping to order and try their food; but she didn't give us the chance. She looked shocked and offered to finish taking our orders, but we had to explain that our time was wasted and we now had to get drive thru food and hurry back to work. The 'lumpia' was way over cooked - gave the impression of egg rolls (which is what I've been calling them); and his chicken adobo was gross - gray colored chicken. We fully expected my son to get sick. He hasn't yet - which is good. This is an excellent way to guarantee we will absolutely NOT be back.

I politely greeted her hello and said "order for Mariah", she only opened the window enough to hear my name and then slammed it back shut not responding to me. Then she turned back around and gave me a 5 min hand signal. As I waited for my food I noticed she was either on FaceTime or watching videos with her phone on the prep table/cutting board while rolling raw lumpia. This is so unsanitary, phones hoard ALOT of germs. As for the food, it was ok, pork sticks could've used more char and sauce, lechon cuts had an equal amount of meat to fat ratio, pancit needs just a touch more flavoring, rice was nice and dry the way I like it. I tried one lumpia because I was pretty grossed out about her phone and they were tasty, crunchy, and rolled tight. Overall it was ok. I appreciate the tables and sitting area to enjoy my meal if ever so.

The store's male owner was welcoming and very friendly. However, Tina, who checked my husband and me out, provided no customer service. I had to engage and say, "Hi, how are you?" which made me feel like I was bothering her, as she wasn't friendly or welcoming at all. I asked the owner a question about desserts and such, and she rudely interrupted talking down on him, which shocked both my husband and I. As much as she lacked customer service, she will not stop us from coming back. I would like to give this place a 5 star, but with Tina's attitude and all, I have to knock a star off.
