This place seems to be busy but I think the owners are the only ones running it. With that being said, service was good & the food was good. The bacon fried rice & lumpia were our favorite items!

Walked in to order takeout and waited a while before anyone acknowledged me. Then the woman caught an attitude when I asked for a menu.

Last week when we were in Charleston, we were lucky enough to happen upon Kultura. It's a Filipino…read morerestaurant. Before before getting to the food, the space was inviting and had a lot of cool touches. And the service was great! My wife, youngest, and I shared a number of plates. Some of the first include included the Kinilaw, the Lumpia, and the Laing. The Kinilaw is a yellow tuna dish. The tuna melted in your mouth and the flavors from the coconut-leche dressing, ginger, and jalapeño, as well as the fresh mint, added to the flavor palette. I didn't try the Lumpia because it is skinny spring rolls made with ground pork. My wife and youngest said they were great in really enjoyed the taste. The Laing was a vegetable dish involving creamy brace kale with garlic, ginger, and coconut milk. Of course it sounds different and it was, but in a really good way. Again, the way the flavors worked together was really great. The last dish we got was the Curry. It is grilled red snapper with braised, mung beans, tempura sweet potatoes over coconut red curry sauce and rice. It was so good. Again, the flavors in this dish were amazing. The fish was cooked just right. And the way the dish worked together was a piece of culinary art. They also had cool cocktails, good beers, and even mocktails for our teenager. Our experience at Kultura was better than we even expected from looking at the menu online. If you find yourself in Charleston, do yourself a favor and check this place out.

We ordered the Laing, the new eggplant omelet, and the fish curry with coconut red curry sauce, sweet potato, and mung beans over rice. Two small plates and one large plate were perfect for two. Everything was flavorful and beautifully balanced, and we left feeling completely satisfied. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend it.

There were plenty of parking and the restaurant itself was very nice, clean, and spacious. The decorations were very colorful and showed a few of our Asian culture. Our waitress was very nice. There were a lot of food in their menu ; Thai and Filipino food to choose from. We all decided to order off the Filipino menu and each got different dishes to share with each other. The portion of food they gave you was great! We had leftovers and some of us too the food home. Since they found out it was my birthday, the staff came out and sang happy birthday to me. I was given a Filipino dessert , ube ice cream with a candle to blow out. The staff did a wonderful job at making that night special for me. I will definitely go back there with my family.

We were greeted and seated immediately but a very kind hostess and our waitress came by and took our drink orders. Very expansive menu- so we decided to pick a few items to share. We started with the fried crispy shrimp rolls. Very good. Very fresh and hot! Next we shared the Volcano roll and it was huge! Absolutely delicious. We finished the entire roll! Large chunks of crab topped the roll. We finished with the basil calamari and it was the best dish of the night. The broth was seasoned perfectly with onions and green peppers. Outstanding Will be back in the future Also- all the staff we encountered were so pleasant and kind. One gentleman even ran my cell phone out to the parking lot for me since he noticed I forgot! Thank you so much!!

I had hopes that this place would be somewhat OK as there isn't a true Filipino restaurant in…read moreCharleston. Although they aren't solely a Filipino place they do have a few unique Filipino dishes on their menu. Like every other Asian restaurant in town they are Asian Fusion thus they have mix of Asian Cuisines on their menu. The first bad sign was just after sitting down when I smelled the smoke from someones cigarette. I truly hate smelling cigarette smoke so things were off to a very bad start. We order I got the lumpia and chicken adobo. The lumpia was just OK and was the highlight of the experience. The so called chicken adobo was nothing like what it should have been, It was chicken and gravy and was not even that good. This was the worst Asian meal I have ever had. I wouldn't come back here if I was starving as this place is horrible!!!

Visited Luz's for weekday lunch because we heard they served filipino food. Was not disappointed,…read morePansit and Pork Adobo was good. Lumpia was called "eggrolls" and were also outstanding. I tried the Pepper Steak, which was GREAT! Another interesting item was the Bacon Fried Rice, very tasty. The menu also includes a couple appetizers and burgers/sandwiches, fish and seafood, as well as steak. Service was good, hostess stopped by often and refilled drinks/water. The atmosphere is no-frills, think bar/cafe, so don't expect fancy fine dining. And if you're inclined...you can buy lotto tickets before you leave. Definitely a place to stop in and grab some priced-right, comfort food. Adding Luz's to my weekly lunch stop.
