    Halo halo
    Ara M.

    Came here for one thing and one thing only. I always see the halo halo poster and I am so glad I finally got my hands on it. The size is huge, so definitely shareable.

    Awesome halo halo
    Mille C.

    Halo halo is a Filipino shaved iced dessert. Other southeast Asian countries and beyond (cendol, bingsu and falooda to name just a few) seem to have their own versions. Ima's Kusina has the best version of halo halo in Seafood City's food court. Love their ice. It shaved super fine into a huge mound. Other places don't have ice so fine and it definitely affects the eating experience of finished dessert negatively. Ima's also has the best garnishes. They almost have the perfect mix of toppings. Theirs includes red and green gelatin, shredded fresh coconut, nata de coco (aka coconut jelly), sweet jackfruit, real ube, puffed rice and ube ice cream. Missed the sweet red beans, kaong (aka sugar palm fruit) and leche flan. They added the evaporated milk but seemed to skip the condensed milk. Frankly didn't miss it. Everything else was sweet enough. Today's weather was overcast, cold and windy but the cold dessert was so good. Can't wait to get it when the weather heats up. Bet it would be even better.

    The best halo halo in the bay area is Ima's kusina,this halo halo is overloaded with yummy ingredients,it actually took me two days to finish the whole thing,i think three people can share this one order of halo halo.The lady who prepared this is very nice e and friendly,they have so much delicacies to choose from and ambiance is just ok because there's so many tables and chairs around to enjoy your treat.

    I think Ima's Kusina serves the best halo-halo in the East Bay! It's big, extravagant, and at least 1000 calories. Yes, each calorie is worth it. I haven't had any other food here, but I am sure it's more than decent. Auntie Ima's got your back (your stomach) for when that Filipino food craving arises.

    My favorites: pansit bihon, relyenong bangus (milkfish) and their halo-halo. Some food are salty for me.

    Paksiw na lechon and their adobong baboy are the best dishes that they have. Service was really fast and the prices are reasonable.

    Oriental Market can be found on Clayton Rd, across the street from Min's Kitchen, and just a bit…read moredown from where The Cheese Steak Shop is. Just note, though it's called an oriental market, which is technically accurate, to be more specific this place is a Filipino spot, takeout food and the mini market wares included. Parking is pretty easy to find here even though it may not look it from the front, but there is parking to the side of the building and also in the back if needed, so keep that in mind, but most likely won't need to really use the back. While the place is actually decently sized, just note that the shelves are pretty bare and there's just not much actually on those shelves. Maybe just 1-3 bags of each item, and there's not many items there. Looking at past pictures, this may just be how it is now, but just be aware, it's less market now and probably more of just a takeout food place as that seems to be more of a focus here. They have a small selection of dishes which they told me they rotate every so often as far as specific dishes in the spots. There's not a huge selection, and if I were to compare it, I'd say their selection of food is about the same as if you went to Mama Lumpia's counter and that's basically where they're at. Not too much to choose from, so just know this going in if you're planning to takeout something. Pricing wise for the food, it's not too bad, but will be more expensive than some of the other options around, especially with it being takeout. But they do a good job stuff the container to the top, so that's a bit more helpful at least. Not expensive for Filipino food. Some of the stuff looked good, as I will go back and try some of them in the future, but today I decided to just go with the adobo pork. I feel the adobo pork was just okay. The flavors actually weren't too bad, and the meat was pretty tender and not dry, but the fat part I feel could have been cooked a bit more as it was too chewy for my liking, and not the best pork belly I've ever had for sure, and certainly not from a Filipino place. But again, portions were good. Will I be back? I can say I'm interested. As far as a market goes, it's really not much there, or at least not much there nowadays compared to pictures of the old, so probably wouldn't be my first option for market stuff when there's 99 Ranch and Seafood City around. Would I come back for the food takeout? That is probably more likely as I am interested in how their lumpia is, and perhaps try some of their pancit, or even the spaghetti which they didn't have on that particular day. See you around Oriental Market.

    Amazing Filipino food perfect for our wedding reception!…read more This is what we ordered for our wedding reception: pork sisig, chopsuey, pancit canton, chicken adobo, laing, sweet and sour fish, chicken lumpia, pork menudo, and white rice. Everything was delicious! Nothing was too oily or salty. Most of our guests were Filipino but even my non-Filipino friends who haven't tried a lot of Filipino dishes yet enjoyed the food. The medium trays were the perfect size for our party of 35. The only thing I regret is not convincing my then fiancé to order more lumpia! 50 lumpia ran out so quick I didn't get to taste one. That's OK though because I plan to come in person to order the lumpia! We did have leftovers after the reception, even after people took some to go. The leftovers reheated well and I ate them for my work lunches. Jane was our point of contact. We exchanged emails and text messages. We sent our order via email and Jane emailed us an estimate. We then paid for our order in person. We paid for delivery and they had all the food delivered to our reception. They communicated with our point person for our reception venue. In person, Jane was friendly. It did take some time for us to hear back via email, but Jane always responded fast through text. If you're looking for Filipino food catering, I highly recommend going with Lutong Bahay!

You can't go wrong with silogs. They are always good! I will probably go back and order online, I don't recommend walk in order, it takes awhile. I will try other items on their menu. The prices are decent.

    In town for work and craving a taste of home (I'm from San Diego, so I'm used to great Filipino…read morespots), I decided to try Mama's Lumpia and it definitely satisfied the craving. I ordered the 3-combo plate with lumpia, adobo wings, lechon kawali, and adobo rice. The flavors were all there, especially on the meats. If I had one suggestion, it would be texture: the lechon kawali and wings could be a bit crispier, and the rice was slightly on the softer side. Small tweaks that could really elevate the dishes. It's more of a grab-and-go spot with limited seating, but the service is warm and friendly, exactly what you hope for at a Filipino restaurant. Overall, a solid local stop that could go from good to great. Salamat!
