    Sizzling sisig
    Alannis F.

    The food was tasty, but the service was less attentive than I'd like. Rex loved his sisig and the tapsilog was good, but I do prefer when the beef is dryer. Lumpia and fish balls were delicious. We really enjoyed a travel video playing on the TV.

    Wanted to get Filipino breakfast for lunch and we haven't paid a visit to Glenda's since they first opened years ago. We didn't have a good experience but figured it was because they had just opened. The place is tiny and there was already a table full of people there. We placed an order and the guy told us that they would call us when it was ready. It was a rainy day and it gave us time to shop nearby. The food took longer than expected, maybe an hour but when we got the food it was delicious! Authentic Filipino cuisine that was well worth the wait. The place is definitely authentic and if you have ever been to the Philippines, you'll know what I mean. They offer breakfast all day and all of their food look pretty good. Will be trying them out again some other time when the craving is there.

    Bulalo - perfect meal on a cold, rainy day.

    What's better on a cool, rainy evening than a bowl full of beef broth? The bulalo hit the spot during this cool, rainy evening. The garlic rice is the best - not burnt, just the right amount of saltiness. Almost takes me back to my mom's cooking.

    I've been debating on how to write this review. I'll start with the good. The customer service and hospitality was great! The location is hidden, unless you live in the neighborhood behind the shoping center. It isn't visible from Princess Anne Rd. It has enough seating for a small crowd. I've only ordered to-go service. The food that I had from here was good. For example the pancit, topsilog, and more. The lechon kawali was very good! This place was my first and only experience eating it. Like others said, it is a delicious alternative to crispy pata (which is pricey here). I thought the bubble tea was overpriced. It wasn't the best, but I go to other places specifically for bubble tea. Besides the minor price issues of some items, I had one major issue with Glenda's. Now I love sisig since I first tried it a couple of years ago. I've eaten it at a few different places. Glenda's was probably the 2nd best that I've had. It's made to order, and came out fresh. HOWEVER, halfway through my meal I bit down on something extremely hard. I'm glad my reflexes were good, or I might have cracked a tooth. I spit it out, thinking it was a bone. When I looked at the object, it was clearly a fully entact molar, with roots attached!! I literally got sick to my stomach, and all types of thoughts ran through my head. I did my research and looked online to verify it was a pig molar. I knew which ingredients went into making sisig. I definitely believe there needs to be a better quality check (especially with these ingredients), and a selection of a new meat supplier. Sad to say that this experience has ruined any future sisig dishes for me. I can't think about it without feeling a little nauseous. I don't plan on eating here again. I wish Glenda's the best of luck, and hope the incident doesn't happen again. *I had posted the wrong main line pics earlier. The remaining pics are from my last visit here.*

    Thank you to Glendas for being there on Christmas Eve! When my go to spot Rejected me and my lumpia order Glendas was able to fulfill my needs. Super friendly, super fast, and awesome taste. Thank you again for making Christmas Eve awesome!

    25 pcs of pork lumpia -- $7!
    Tami C.

    It's more of a 3.5 for me. Let's start with The Good: * $7 for 25 pcs of lumpia. Yes please, and thank you! Small, bite size pcs but enough to satisfy 4 adults. Worth it. * Crispy Pata comes correct at Glenda's. Though I really shouldn't, I can honestly eat all of this by myself and then some. But I won't. Not sure if it's worth $16 buuuuut I'd probably order it again. And again. * Sisig. Ooooh the sizzle!!! It will make your mouth sing, heart stop beating, and belly very happy. Too much onions for me but it's still so good. Try it with a cold beer one time... * Bulalo is pretty decent. It's very soupy so it's perfect on a cold day. Gotta have that sabaw to warm up your insides. Sabaw = broth in Tagalog. Use that word to impress your friends! * The space inside. More spacious than I thought judging from the outside because the "PINOY Oriental Mart" sign still hangs outside. You can host a small party complete with catering and karaoke. * Ate/Auntie Thelma. She is amicable and friendly. She looks like a good time. Hashtag pause. No really, she looks like one of those fun aunties who love to just have fun. She's awesome. Now onto the Not So Good... * The free water. Just no. Don't do it. The water dispenser gives funny tasting water. The "cold" feature is either off or broken. You're better off purchasing a canned or bottled drink from the fridge. * Siopao is better elsewhere. Didn't really like it. Seemed kind of old. Meh!! * Ginataang Langka is not my thing. First time having it and if all of them tastes like Glenda's, then it's a definite no for me. * Chicken Mami was just okay. Has potential. I prefer more MSG, I mean, more flavor.... and I suppose I coulda added more salt but I'm a believer that one shouldn't have to add more salt to any dish when dining out. Everything should be well seasoned. I like my mom's better. * OMG the RICE!!! They served us OLD rice. I'm talking 3-4 days old rice that's been sitting in the rice cooker cooking. No longer white, but kind of yellow because it's old. That's a no-no in any restaurant. Must serve fresh rice all of the time. All of the time.... * The wait for special orders. Could be lengthy but you'll always have piping hot, fresh food in front of you! That's why order the lumpia while waiting!! * Location & Parking. Almost no parking because employees take up most of the lot on that side of the strip. And it's tight! You won't even know a restaurant and other businesses are there unless you have a reason to drive around that side of the building. Kinda sad. It's practically behind One Life Fitness. * Bathroom. I personally didn't use it because my mom scared me after she used it. Said she was glad we ate first because otherwise she wouldn't have eaten. Brown water?? No hot water in the sink to wash hands? Super filthy? Ugh. The stench of the bathroom just followed her when she walked out. (Sorry mom, I don't mean to make it sound like you dropped a deuce even though i know you didn't.) It just smelled that bad in there. So there ya have it, folks. Overall decent experience but I won't be in any rush to return. I'll more than likely be back for that crispy puta, I mean...pata, though!

    After ogling some of the pictures of fellow Yelpers I decided to embark on a search for a sizzling plate of sisig. Understanding that each cook has his/her own spin on the dish, I was not disappointed when I dined at Glenda's. Small venue that has daily specials featured on their hot bar and of course combo plates if you want to mix it up a bit and try a variety of the menu items. I was fortunate to have the sisig and a mango boba tea for my lunch. Of note, I found my boba pearls seemed to be frozen when placed in my drink and it changed the consistency when chewing them. My dining companion and I dined in and had the place to ourselves and took in the décor while waiting for our food. We didn't have to wait long and the portions were spot on and the flavor of the dish was on par. I found myself full and satisfied with the sisig and ended up skipping dinner. On my next visit, I'll ask the cook to add more spice. Parking is shared with other businesses and it's not too much of a challenge to park close. Sorry, no military discounts or other promotions at the time of my visit. The dining room is spacious enough for a group gathering and you can call ahead for quick pick up of your order.

    What a hidden gem! The food was amazing!!! All the meat is very juicy & full of flavor. Made fresh to order and definitely authentic. Glenda is SO friendly, excellent service! Theres 4 tvs inside, definitely a great place to gather.

I think had I visited earlier in the day, it may have had a less oily texture to it. The accompanying soup was super sour but acted as a perfect palate cleanser after the oily meals. The service was excellent-- friendly, patient, and helpful. You can pick and choose different entrees over rice or pancit. Similar to getting food from Panda Express. The inside of the restaurant has several family friendly seatings available and baked goods and market also. Lastly, parking is free and plentiful right across from the front entrance. If an out of area Filipino asked for a good place to eat, I wouldn't hesitate recommending them. I certainly wouldn't mind revisiting again in the future.

Traditionally, lechon is slowly roasted and served whole and this is the way House of Lechon does it but every Sunday they sell it by the pound with a minimum order of two pounds.

They are only open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11 AM to 5 PM but you can place your order any day (for pick up on the weekend) by calling them on the phone or sending a message on Facebook Messenger. I've ordered both ways with success. This is strictly a take out restaurant as there is no dining room. On Sundays when they sell lechon by the pound they make a little extra for walk-in customers but I highly recommend placing your order at least a day in advance. I have enjoyed partaking of the whole pig a couple of times at events and have ordered a few pounds a couple times. It is truly a wonderful dining experience. The skin is crispy and the meat is so juicy, tender and delicious. It is served with a very nice dipping sauce. You can order the whole pig, the head, shoulder/butt or belly. Check out one of my photos for the price list. As I said before, you can order lechon by the pound for Sunday pick up. Staff is friendly and pleasant when ordering and when you pick up the order.
