Takes me to my childhood. We ordered a trio of bowls: Porcheta (Lechon basically), Pinakbit, and Chicken Adobo. The hack: if you eat in, white rice is complementary as is broth (Nilaga or Sinigang) To me the Porcheta was awesome and my wife loved the Pinakbit). Those are 5 stars. The chicken Adobo was solid - I give that 4 stars. Loved the music in the store and I plan to come back at least once a month - pay homage to the motherland at 1 lb a month. So good - masarap read more

I'm back here again - trying a refreshing drink called Halo Halo, meaning "mix mix" in Filipino. It is so delicious. It comes with fruit layered in the bottom with ice cream on top and Ube ice cream as well as some flan pieces and it is so delicious... I know I said that, but it's so nice. I had to say it twice. This is a really unique thing that would be most comparable to a milkshake for a lot of people You can eat any way you like, but I'm told that people commonly mix it up although you can eat the layers individually of course if you choose It has several chunks of banana jackfruit, even some sweet potato, which may not be something you associate with this type of drink/dish normally but it really works here. This is something that is very unique and certainly should be tried - you are gonna love it read more

While staying at a hotel, we asked the Filipino staff where they go for Filipino food, most said the local options weren't great, but one person specifically recommended Fil Cuisine in Kent. We had been to the other Fil Cuisine location twice and were disappointed both times, so expectations were cautious. This visit started off strong, though. We were greeted right away by a friendly waitress - she was funny, and very upfront. She warned us that regular portions are already massive and family size would be super-sized. She was absolutely right. When the food came out, we were shocked by how large the portions were. The waitress came back with a playful "I told you so," which made us laugh. Food-wise, it was hit or miss: - Ginisang munggo was delicious. We finished the entire bowl. Highly recommend. - Mixed pancit looked great but was a bit bland. Loved the fresh lemon (not packets) with it and asked for more. - Pork adobo fried rice tasted like garlic fried rice. No real adobo flavor detected and it also was light in seasoning. - Papaitan was Tagalog-style (no bile or liver) and would have been a winner for us but it too lacked the expected flavor punch. - Ube halaya was a bonus. It was made fresh and still warm with a soft fudgey texture. We spooned it. Highly recommend. - Hot tea turned out to be chamomile, which we didn't expect and didn't enjoy. We had plenty of leftovers to take back to the hotel. Several dishes needed condiments or seasoning help since flavors were muted. Easy fix so no worries. The restaurant itself is spacious, comfortable, and great for big families. The ladies from the kitchen who came out to check on us were also friendly and chatty. While this wasn't a slam dunk for flavor this first round, the service, portions, and welcoming atmosphere made it worth trying. read more

I've been coming to Filcuisine for years and have always enjoyed their food, but this was the first time I walked away truly disappointed. I ordered the beef Nilaga, and what I received was a bowl loaded with fat and very little actual meat. It was so greasy that I completely lost my appetite. I politely explained to the staff that the dish was overwhelmingly fatty, and their response was that there's "a pound of beef" in the bowl. I'd have to disagree, it felt more like a pound of fat. I was also told that "some people like the fatty parts," but honestly, I don't know who those people are because this was a heart attack waiting to happen. I've always appreciated Filcuisine, but this experience was extremely disappointing, and I had no choice but to leave. I truly hope this was just an off day. read more

This is my go-to Filipino spot in Kent. All the food here is what I grew up eating throughout childhood. The service is better than before. And the ambiance is great! Feels like you're in a Filipino house. I ordered the beef nilagat (soup), kare kare (oxtail based peanut butter sauce), lechon kiwali, and 2 sunny side up eggs. If I don't feel like cooking Filipino food and crave it, this is the spot! read more

Absolutely disgusting experience. Multiple people in our household got violently sick after eating this food, and it was bad enough that we had to report it to DoorDash as a food safety issue. This wasn't 'bad service' or 'cold food,' this was genuine food poisoning symptoms after eating here. For a restaurant to send out food that makes an entire household sick is completely unacceptable and honestly dangerous. We spent over $100 just to end up miserable for the rest of the night. The fact that DoorDash immediately escalated the issue and refunded the entire order says enough on its own. We will never eat here again. read more

I wanted chicken adobo per the online picture. What I picked up wasn't it and tasted horrible. Wouldn't even feed it to my dogs. Better off going to Seafood City. Living in Kent for over 16 years and always thought about trying this place especially since they expanded but this was my first and last time. What "protein" did I even eat? read more

I ordered the sisig and monggo for pickup. Unfortunately, the sisig had quite a bit of fat and not as much meat as I expected. The monggo portion was also smaller than anticipated for the price ($14.99). For comparison, I've seen similar portions at Seafood City for a lower price $4.99. I don't usually leave reviews, but I wanted to share this feedback in hopes it helps improve the experience so customers like don't feel disappointed . This not meet my expectation over price read more

The ambiance of the place is always the same, very clean and the servers (aka I call the ladies) are super sweet and you always see them working on things so they stay busy! The food over the years I've noticed has shifted a lil bit, my usual orders are really anything on their breakfast menu or pork adobo, I've noticed that the pork on their adobo isn't as tender anymore but obviously still taste good. I love buying their bread too especially if they have Spanish breads! read more

I would usually give 5 stars for the food but because of the loud Christian music blasting only 4 stars. Not every one is into this music. Please change the channel! read more

The restaurant was short staffed so they seems very busy. I ordered Karekare, Crispy pork and pork adobo with garlic rice. They forgot the garlic rice so we got it later almost end of the meal. Although I didn't really like the garlic rice, it was somehow a bit greasy. I saw many people ordered crispy pork to go and I could tell why. It was delicious! I would order the crispy pork again. Also I got halohalo before I leave and it was good too. read more

I order online and was told it would take 30 minutes. Updated text told me it would be an hour and half till my order of Pancit was ready. I understand as it was lunch time and a Saturday. I called and requested my order be cancelled. They confirmed it was very busy and would cancel it. They did NOT and my card was charge. I've called several times and left a voicemail, no reply. read more

Came here from Las Vegas. As a Filipino American, it is hard to find places in the US that are comparable to authentic Filipino food, but Fil Cuisine hits the mark on all accounts. We ordered the lechon kawali, fried rice, pork lumpia, pansit bihon, grilled pompano, and halo halo. It was suggested by our wonderful server Jen to order the pork lumpia and it was a hit. Overall my favorite is the lechon kawali. It has a great balance of soft on the inside and crispy skin on the outside. Serving sizes are huge by the way. For authentic, high quality Filipino food, the service was fast. Place is quiet and well maintained for families of all sizes. They also have a baked goods which I need to try next time I'm in Washington. Talking with the owner, you can tell they prioritize high quality food and genuine connections with their customers. You guys need to open up one in Vegas!! read more

Taste and quality of service have been steadily declining since early last year. We used to come here almost every week. Now, after some months, I decided to try again. Still disappointing. Don't even bother telling them if you face an issue coz they seem to have a knack of making whatever it is the customer's fault. Price is good tho. Very affordable. read more

I was really excited when my boyfriend kept raving about this Filipino cuisine restaurant he's had amazing lunches at. Being a Pinoy myself, I was craving fish and asked him to bring me their fried tilapia (fish). Sadly when he came home, I opened the plate lunch and it happened to be bagus (milkfish) which is fine, but it's not the same fish/taste/texture and they certainly didn't make him aware we were still paying for the the same fish they were advertising for. Not sure it was an oversight or the fact that they thought they could trick a Gringo with the wrong fish only to bring it home to a Filipina. Very disappointed! Pictures are what is advertised vs what we r read more

When I placed my order online and the restaurant called to say they couldn't fulfill my original order and offered a replacement instead. When I asked if the price could be adjusted, they said they couldn't change it. The replacement item had a significantly lower price, yet I was still charged the original amount. The person I spoke to was Jen. She was not accommodating at all! This felt unfair and disappointing. I will not be ordering from this place no more. read more

I flew in from LA and had a quick stop here as I was craving some Filipino food with my pops. The Kare Kare and the Lechon Kawali were my favourite. The owner took care of us and accommodated us well! I recommend this to any culture wanting to try Filipino cuisine. Their halo-halo was bomb as well!! I live in British Columbia and this is better than most of the spots I've visited there. I enjoyed eating my meal with Christian music playing in the background too. Ambiance was authentic and neat. read more

The "service" here is a joke. There's Gratuity for groups of 6+, and yet they don't even bother doing their job. I waited over an hour for my Arroz Caldo. Guess what? Never came. The table in front of me? Same story. No food. No apology. Instead, the old lady had the nerve to remind us about tipping. Sorry? No. The people behind us were waiting longer. Theyve been there ever since I got there. I ordered fried rice, and somehow it magically turned into adobo fried rice. Not what I ordered, not even close. The music? It's obnoxiously loud. And let's talk price--it's expensive for food this bad. I sat there for TWO HOURS waiting for a dish they probably never even started making. Meanwhile, people all around me were pissed after waiting two or three hours for theirs. Yelp says they're "short-staffed"? Please. I think that WAS the staff. One lady in a bandanna barely answering phones, just telling people to "hold." The menu is way too long, and it shows. The meat? Tough. The food? Salty. The rice? Dry. Freshness? Nowhere to be found. This place is a disaster. You aren't ready for big parties. I'd rather go to Manila Sunset. read more

I've been here a couple times before and my visit yesterday was different. We were a party of 7. I walked in first before my group to get a seat. I stiod there for over 10mins to be acknowledged. I was patient understanding that the big tables were full. My group finally sat to order. We didn't wait long to get our food however the presentation and taste of the food was not what we were expecting. When we were ready to pay our bill we were told that only cash was accepted. Even though the sign on the door said different. We had to go to the mini store next door and get some cash. When paying the cashier gave me the total and asked to keep the change because she forgot to add the service charge. Which was fine. However she gave me a receipt that had no prices listed what looks like to be an order receipt. I didn't want to hold up the line so i just took what she gave me and left. My overall experience was awful and I dont think I would return. It may be under different ownership. Also, the restroom needs alot of attention. read more

What happened to the Kent FilCuisine? I have been a customer for almost 10-years. They are my go-to whenever I crave for Filipino food and don't have time to cook. I overlooked at the price as they are getting expensive. But if the quality is affected, I ought to say something. Last Monday, I ordered for pick-up. I was extremely disappointed with the beef Mechado and beef Caldereta. The taste is the same and both bland. I added a little salt thinking it will enhance the flavor, still they taste exactly the same. The only difference is, caldereta has few carrots and few sausage slices. Also, caldereta should have a little spice, there was none. And here's the kicker, each container has 2 whole pieces of potatoes (4-pieces of halved red potatoes). I could also count the decent size of beef pieces, the rest are sliver of beef particles. It could have been acceptable if the sauce is tasty - as the saying goes, "sarsa pa lang, ulam na". The pinakbet was decent, but also super bland. I need to add a little alamang to make it savory. Another thing is, there were no delicacies - they used to have cassava, leche flan, etc. what they had are 4-packages of corned beef pandesal and 2-packages of pan de coco. Hope the Kent location is not being disregarded. It's just sad if their concentration is more on the Lynnwood location. I even told them once that the Kent has better tasting food than Lynnwood. Sorry, I don't have pictures. I really feel bad for these supposedly, good food. read more

After almost a year I convinced my husband to order breakfast. How can they do wrong with breakfast?!' Nanay! Jerry! What's going on? Why is the food we had when you first opened up and we visited every week so different. I don't like complaining but I have to be honest. Even though there was a slight mistake on the order, I didn't care about that. But what we do care about is there's not flavor!!! What's Filipino food without flavor! The sunny egg was still raw, but that's ok we can deal with it. But it had no salt! So bland! Even the garlic rice that I didn't order, I ordered plain steamed rice..,had no flavor!! At least the bangus had flavor. Same with my husbands long si log. Rice and egg needed salt. I actually called fil cuisine and spoke to a lady and repeated to her to make sure she added extra vinegar sauce with my DoorDash order. I gave her my name, and she reassured me she noted it on my order. Only one little sauce arrived. Not even the extra I asked for. The halo halo was just ok. I've had better there in the past. Well I can't convince my husband to spend anymore money there. Not sure what the problem is but in the past Sonia and Jerry would take care of us, and I would rave about their food to everyone that people come from all over the state, and out of state to try their food. So disappointed read more

Love there lumpia the staff is very friendly the store is clean. I just love this place. Go try it.

The wait was disappointing. Having ordered online ahead of time, I had allowed ample time for pickup. Nevertheless, when I arrived, I discovered that my order wasn't prepared yet. I then waited another thirty minutes to retrieve my order. The food wasn't also that good so its unlikely that I will go back to this restaurant again. read more

What happened to Filcuisine? I used to enjoy their food, but this time I was really disappointed. The pinakbet, Bicol express, lumpiang gulay, arroz caldo and steamed rice has a sour smell and all looked and tasted like leftovers, the chicken BBQ was overly sweet and they all tasted old and reheated.This was far from the quality I expected. None of the dishes tasted good. I'm not coming back. read more

Prepare to be stuffed! The entrees are HUGE. My friend and I ordered three dishes, all regular sized portion, to share family style between us: Chicken Adobo (marinated chicken seasoned with garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, and spices), Pancit Bihon (stir-fried cornstarch noodles with veggies: celery, carrots, and cabbage), and Sizzling Sisig (chopped slow roasted pork belly mixed with onions, garlic, citrus and spices; served on a sizzling plate). I haven't had much traditional Filipino food before visiting Fil Cuisine, but it was a good experience with a fairly large menu. So, I am hoping to come back to try other items! There is also free parking in the plaza that is shared with other businesses there. It wasn't that busy at 5:30PM on a Wednesday, so parking shouldn't be an issue. read more

I ordered the chicken adobo, pork adobo, and the chicken skewers. The chicken adobo was super bland barely any flavor and SUPER over cooked. I felt like i was chewing forever till i decided whether to swallow it or spit it out. The pork adobo was not that bad it was still a little bland but not as much aa the chicken adobo. But it was very oily. The chicken skewers were super cold to the point where i had to microwave them bc it felt like they had it sitting in the fridge then just slapped it in a plate. Their portions are very small for the price. I spent $70 on all this definitely not worth the price. Small portions of rice and it was also cold. read more

Shoutout to our server Annie who seemed to be attending to the entire restaurant yet somehow made it feel like we were private dining! Service was impressively fast. Food was beyond authentic. So much so that my mom had the same bowls in which the kare kare was served! Huge portions of delicious food. Most of the dishes come with complimentary rice. The lumpia was crispy and hot. I loved the halo halo, especially the two huge scoops of ube ice cream. read more

Cold..... I ordered online and was told I had a 1:19 pick up. Got to the shop at 1pm and told it was more like 30 mins. Knowing that they were busy I said ok. Even though I only got Lumpia. But after waiting the lumpia came out BARELY tepid. So why was I waiting all that time of the lumpia wasn't going to be fried fresh? I expected to hot and got tepid food.

Disappointed with my order. I ordered half tray of tokwa't baboy (pork and tofu) for potluck. It costs around $75 and I feel like I didn't get the value I paid for. The food only occupied 3/4 of the tray as they used the other 1/4 to place the sauce container. To make things worst, the bottom of the tray was mostly sprinkled with tofu. It seems only 1/8 of the tray had meat on it. It really felt like a deceitful tactic to make more money. They just lost a customer! read more
