    Various Filipino foods.
    Smith N.

    Whoa! So I found this place while visiting grandma nearby her home. I love it! They have all these delicious food ready to go. It's a Filipino market in very tight parking spot. You things like Bahn Mi, a lot of Fried things: Shimp, Wings, Gizzards, Fish. Also lots of Filipino dishes. The prices are super decent and nothing crazy. Overall, I could live off this place.

    fried cod

    Had a superb experience shopping here today. I appreciate the low light, quiet ambiance compared to my over stimulated weekly Trader Joe's runs. Their deli selection is top notch, but I went with two pieces of their fried cod to-go paired with homemade three ladies jasmine white rice and nuoc mam dipping sauce.

    Turo Plantains

    This Market Never fails me. I stopped by for a quick snack. I was so pleased with the Plantain Turo fried to perfection and very pleasing to my taste buds. I also enjoyed the Banana Leaf wrapped sticky rice with coconut. The texture is grainy but pleasing. Such a wonderful variety of fruits and vegetables also all different varieties of teas. Customer Service is Great. The store makes me feel welcome and it's so inviting and great to learn about the culture. I also bought the Ube sliced Bread and instantly fell in love. I will always stop by this market to buy these items and also explore all the wonderful options.

    I want to give Fou Lee more stars, but we got overcharged on our visit, I made a huge mistake of not grabbing a receipt, and had to dispute the charge with our credit card company. It was resolved, and we got our money back, but I tried calling Fou Lee to resolve the overcharge before calling my CC company, and they said they couldn't help me, unless I had a receipt. So don't forget to grab your receipt here! (We spent about $50, and were overcharged $200+) Onto our experience minus the overcharge situation. I love mom pop small Asian markets and was very excited to stop by here. We got a bunch of the take out food for dinner and it was decent. We got: - banh mi - adobo - pancit - egg rolls The Banh Mi was dirt cheap, I think it was under $5, i can't remember. the pancit and adobo were tasty. The egg rolls had been sitting out for a while, so those were a bit stale. They had a lot going on in this market and a lot of stuff! Again, because of our bad experience with the CC charge, I am not sure I will be back, or I will be paying with cash next time.

    This place is a little Filipino grocery store run but Vietnamese people. It has all kinds of things from fruit and vegetables, lots of snacks, different dry pantry items like Asian noodles, garlic corn nuts, different sauces. I always go to the fried section and get a few things. This time I got side of pork-2 pieces, 1/2 lb of the little fish which were very crunchy, and 1/2 lb of squid head-it tastes good but some of them were very hard. The service is always very nice.

    Hot Food Case 1of3 (3/25/22)

    I've been going to Fou Lee Market in Seattle's Beacon Hill neighborhood for a long time predating my Yelp days. This is a long overdue review. Fou Lee Market is one of those indie Asian markets not in the CID, has a non descript exterior, crazy busy parking lot (I prefer street parking), but inside is a combo of grocery store - produce stand - butcher/fish monger - sari sari store - baked goods - and deli area. It's one of those Filipino centric shops IYKYK without having to make the further trek to Seafood City in Tukwila. Major draw is the deli area for getting generous lunch combos, all those tasty fried goods, and Filipino delicacies (assorted pulutan). Recommended are the variety of hot entrees available, served with steamed rice, fried rice, or pancit noodles. There's also fried fish like dilis, bangus, pompano, and mackerel. Pork lechon, crispy pata, chicken skin, chicken wings, but my favorites are picking up grilled BBQ pork on a stick, karioka on a stick, puto or bibingka. I had avoided visiting during the pandemic because it was not enforced about masks and social distancing. It was literally a free for all with some of the older folks practically mowing you down with their cart. I recently stopped by to pick up some Mochiko sweet rice flour, pancit canton noodles, and half a dozen meat sticks on 3/25/22 and it was thankfully not overly crowded. Deli counter and cashier staff still wore masks. I still shopped with a mask on since the store has rather cramped, narrow aisles, and wouldn't place any faith on proper HEPA air circulation. Well worn, well stocked. Decent stop if in the neighborhood.

    An Asian market that is predominantly Filipino? Count me in. Their parking is awkward and small. No doubt there is a large variety of food packed into these slightly cramped aisles. Regarding prices, there is a mix of cheap and overpriced goods. The layout is weird inside with only two registers. I was really interested in their hot food section. Lots of expected fried items: chicken, fish, chicharron, etc. I was pretty disappointed with the fried squid, but the BBQ pork skewers are pretty lean and the way to go. Skip the steamed buns. The rest of the hot food looked a bit basic and bland. I may not come back for this section, but at least for some cheap groceries if I lived closer.

    Has anyone tried the lechon / litson / full pig roast? I'm thinking of buying one, but $260 is a lot of money.

    Just had it last night - way better than ordering from Seafood City. Not too much fat and they make the skin really crispy - like popping crispy. Also the meat was most. I'm not a big fan of regular lechon (more into lechon kawali), but their lechon… 

    Do they have ube bread?

    They do have Ube pastries and little buns with ube swirl and of course other stuff like Ube putting and ice cream

We're still fairly new to Filipino cuisine and she did an excellent job talking us through the menu and the various options. We started with three appetizers, the lumpiang, kinilaw, and canton noodles. The kinilaw was incredible, bright and fresh with an appropriate bit of kick from the pickled fresnos, Highly recommended (but not my photo, it didn't turn out). For entrees we had the adobo ribs and the beef kare kare. Both dishes were good, but the ribs stole the show. Fall-off- the-bone moist with an incredible tangy yet sweet tomato glaze. Treat yourself to these ribs! The restaurant is small and casual, for us an ideal setting for a wonderful meal.

Musang was upscale in…read moreprice compared to the average Filipino restaurant, unfortunately the level of service wasn't commensurate to the upscale price point. Our server was attentive when taking our order but rarely came to our table when the dishes were brought to our table. We had to remind our server about our 2nd drink order after waiting for 20 minutes. After our last entree was served, our many entrees plates were not cleared for another 20 minutes even though it was clear we were done eating. Our server never came to our table to check up on us. We had to ask another server for our bill. The final bill for me and my spouse came out to $263.79 and included 4 cocktails. This was not a special occasion dinner. We both want to support Filipino restaurants to become more main stream, however, they need to earn repeat customers. Some of the upscale Filipino restaurants we have dined at includes Kasama (Michelin Star) in Chicago and Abacá in San Francisco had very good service. We started with siyokoy cocktails which were tasty and had a tangy flavor I was craving for in an aperitif. Our entrees consisted of tinapa tonnato, ensaladang pinakbet, adobo ribs, kare kare and shared and order of the bibingka for dessert. We both enjoyed the tinapa tonnato and I especially liked the addition of mint because it brightened the slight funkiness of the tomato salad. The ensaladang pinakbet was not a "traditional" version of the dish and was served cold like a salad and without rice. The veggies were cooked perfectly. The pickled bitter melon was a nice addition although I thought the bitter melon was a bit too vinegary but my spouse liked the level of vinegar. Overall, we both enjoyed this version of pinakbet. The adobo ribs were meh and one note in flavor but was very tender. It lacked acidity which is a typical flavor profile for Filipino adobo. I was getting a slight bitter aftertaste, not sure where it was coming from, perhaps from too much char on the ribs because of the grilling. The ribs are covered in a thick glaze so I couldn't see the naked ribs. We both would have liked wedges of lime to squeeze on the ribs to give it a little hit of acidity. A little Maldon salt would have helped too. The first couple of bites of the kare kare were tasty but started to taste monotonous. We both agreed it needed a bit more salt or bagoong on the side for each diner to add the level to their own taste specifications. The beef cheeks portion was large and was very tender, unctuous, and delicious. The bibingka was served warm and very buttery. We enjoyed the crispy edges. I guess the O.G. designation meant it was the original recipe. It tasted like the recipe I grew up eating. Nothing inventive.

Perfect timing if you want to beat the rush and take a look around before it fills up. The restaurant is located in Beacon Hill, right next to the Beacon Hill light rail station, which is super convenient if you're coming from downtown or the airport. No dedicated parking lot, so you're looking at street parking. The setup is counter service. You order and pay up front, then find a seat, and they bring the food out to you. It's a nice hybrid of quick-service convenience with the personal touch of table delivery. Just remember to bus your own table when you're done. They've also got a station set up for washing your hands and mixing your own dipping sauce, which I thought was a really thoughtful touch (if you grew up with Filipino food, you know). I went heavy on the sinamak (spiced vinegar). Seating is flexible. Counter seats if you're solo or just grabbing something quick, and regular tables that can accommodate four or more if you've got a bigger group. We ordered the bangus-silog, island combo, and cassava cake. Bangus-silog:Came with garlic rice, two eggs, and milkfish, and it hit exactly the way silog should. Yolks were slightly runny, rice had that good garlicky flavor, and the bangus was perfectly fried with head and tail. Island combo: Came with two lumpia, two inihaw ribs, pancit, white rice, two longanisa, and two butterfly shrimp. Great way to sample a bunch of things in one go if you can't decide. The lumpia was crispy and had a good amount of filling. The ribs were tender and had a nice char. The pancit had good noodle texture, and the longanisa had that slightly sweet, garlicky flavor you want. Nothing special about the butterfly shrimp. Also don't skip the baked goods section near the register. It's definitely worth a look on your way out. We tried a slice of cassava cake for dessert. Dense and not overly sweet. Good way to end the meal. Staff at the register were friendly and patient the whole time. They answered any questions about the menu. Overall, a solid and casual spot for Filipino comfort food. Will definitely be back. Kain tayo!

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 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.
