    Kare Kare- Kare (Ox Tail, brisket and Tripe)
    Marlon J.

    Probably one of the best Filipino spots here in the bay... absolutely loved the kare kare.. I do wish there was just a little bit more meat for the price but overall amazing. I also love how the owner has pictures of her and her family in the Philippines. The place is cute

    Inda + Mely is a really fun modern take on Filipino cuisine, and I appreciate what they're doing with the menu. It feels like a thoughtful way to introduce Filipino flavors to a broader audience while still keeping the heart of the dishes recognizable. We came around 5 PM on a Friday and were surprisingly the only ones there for the entire hour we stayed, which made for a quiet, relaxed dinner. The space itself is very cute and cozy, with a warm atmosphere that feels inviting for a casual date night or dinner with friends. Parking is something to keep in mind. They have a very small lot on the side of the building with maybe 4 spots total, so I can imagine parking could be tricky during busier hours if those fill up. I was genuinely excited by the menu because there were so many creative options that sounded amazing. We ordered the kilaw lamang dagat, garlic butter sugpo, bistek tagalog, sisig carbonara, and mango sticky rice. Kilaw lamang dagat - Think Filipino-style ceviche. This was one of my favorites of the night. The seafood tasted fresh, and the coconut milk and lemongrass really came through beautifully without overpowering the dish. Super refreshing and well balanced. Garlic butter sugpo - Came with 5 large prawns that were cooked really well, tender and not overdone at all. The garlic butter sauce was rich and flavorful, though it leaned a bit saltier than I personally prefer. Still a solid dish. Bistek tagalog - Easily our favorite of everything we ordered. The beef was cooked beautifully, tender and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and satisfying. It came with fries, which honestly deserve their own mention because they were insanely crispy. We kept talking about how good the fries were long after dinner. Sisig carbonara - I know this seems to be one of their more popular dishes, but this one just wasn't for me. The portion is huge, so definitely shareable, but personally I didn't think the creamy pasta paired that well with the sisig flavors. Not a bad dish, just not something I'd order again. Mango sticky rice - A nice way to end the meal. Classic and comforting, though they add chocolate syrup on top, which made it sweeter than I expected. If you have a strong sweet tooth, you'll probably love it. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience and love seeing Filipino food presented in a fresh, modern way. Not every dish was a hit for me, but the creativity, atmosphere, and standout dishes definitely make this worth trying.

    The food was good, but minus one star due to limited options for people seeking a diet low in saturated fats. The menu descriptions don't show the cooking methods. So if you are not familiar with Filipino food, you can unknowingly order foods that are deep fried or sopping with oil. Although they do have photographs, it's hard to tell the cooking method from the pictures. For example, they have an Okoy Salad listed as "shrimp + green papaya + rice powder". This is their only salad listing. We ordered it and were surprised to find that it was shrimp with deep fried items on a bed of greens. Another example was the Chili Garlic Chicken, listed as "annatto + peanuts + Chili + Aromatics". It was chicken that was breaded and appeared to be wok fried. Aside from the unhealthiness of the oil, the food was good. The Bistek Tagalog is slices of ribeye, served with French fries. Also good was the garlic fried rice, which comes in a very large bowl which easily serves four people. We visited on a Sunday around 7:30pm and were seated quickly. The servers were very friendly. The restaurant has their own parking lot.

    We had a great weekend lunch with our family here. The lumpia and tortang talong were my faves. I also enjoyed the kare kare although it doesn't have a strong peanut flavor which is probably why I liked it. I thought the interior is bright and welcoming. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

    Inda + Mely serves a contemporary, creative take on Filipino cuisine in a small, modernly-decorated restaurant space in San Bruno. For someone less familiar with Filipino food, much of the menu is almost unrecognizable, but the friendly staff was helpful with recommendations. To start, the Okoy Salad was a bed of greens topped with a crispy "bird's nest" fritter made of shredded papaya/carrots and a whole shrimp, fried in a rice powder batter, served with a vinegar dressing on the side. One of my favorite dishes was the Cebuchon Sinigang. Sinigang is typically a sour meat and vegetable soup, but Inda + Mely's "deconstructed" version came with crispy cebuchon pork belly served with sautéed vegetables (green beans, eggplant, okra, tomatoes, potatoes) and an acidic mango tamarind sauce. The best part of this dish was the chunks of pork belly, which had a nice balance of lean meat, fat, and crispy skin. Continuing on, the Laing was taro greens stewed with coconut milk and dried fish, topped with slices of pork shoulder; and the Sisig Carbonara was spaghetti in a heavy cream sauce, topped with crispy bits of chicharron and lechon (pork skin and belly). Both of these dishes were rather heavy but extremely flavorful. Finally, another highlight dish was the Kare-Kare, a stew of super tender oxtail, brisket, and tripe in a curry-like spiced peanut sauce, served with green beans, eggplant, and Shanghai bok choy. The best part was the unctuous, mildly spiced peanut sauce, which went perfectly with a side of beautifully yellow-tinged Garlic Fried Rice. Overall, the food here was delicious, creative, and beautifully-presented in a clean, modern setting with friendly service.

    Update: We finally made it back, this time for breakfast, and I just had to update my review because it was every bit as good as our first visit! We ordered the tocilog and adobo ribs. We also got an extra plate of the tortang talong with crab because we had to try it. My husband said their tocino is now one of his favorites, and that's saying a lot because he almost always orders tocilog whenever we go out for Filipino breakfast. I also loved the garlic rice. It was nicely seasoned and not greasy. I was so happy that their adobo wasn't sweet. It tasted like the adobo I grew up with. It would've been a perfect 10 if the meat had been just a little more tender, the kind that falls off the bone, but the flavor was delicious. Our favorite was the tortang talong with crab. It was cooked perfectly and was absolutely delicious. The combination of the eggplant and crab was amazing! We also had the chance to chat with EJ, who gave us excellent service. During our first visit we wanted to try the turon, but it was sold out. When he told us they had it that morning, how could we resist? It's never too early for dessert, right? I'm so glad we ordered it. It was incredible. The delicate, flaky layers and the explosion of flavors made it a perfect 10. I used to bake, so I can appreciate how much work goes into making something like that. Before we left, we loved everything so much that we ordered the longanisa and bangus to go so we could try those too. We'll definitely be back, and next time we're bringing the rest of our crew. I also want to applaud the staff. Both times we've visited, the service has been warm, friendly, and outstanding.

    We needed a hearty meal after picking up folks at SFO. This was near the airport and very convenient. There's a parking lot next to the restaurant with room for about 6 cars. Very friendly and attentive staff. The owner Raquel was there to assist us and she was friendly. We asked about the history of the restaurant, as the walls have photos of the family history. Food is very tasty, my favorite is the laing. The lechon with the pinakbet is really tasty. We were also pleasantly surprised with the Turon Baklava. If we're in the area, will definitely return.

    First & last time here

    We were hugely disappointed with our Sunday lunch experience here. The interior of the resto is warm and clean, the lady server was friendly however it's the food quality that sadly let us down. We ordered Kare-Kare ($37): bland and tasteless, helped slightly with a dash of shrimp paste (bagoong). The single piece of oxtail was tough as was the green bean topping. The sauce is FAR from the great kare-kare we've grown to love. The other big disappointment is the Pakbet con Lechon ($24). Both its pumpkin and okra were tough/hard to eat. The skin of the liempo was crispy at best but we really couldn't enjoy the meal with the sorry state of the veggies. Their longanisa spring roll ($20) has a crispy rice paper texture but the longanisa was a bit undercooked. Great tasting sauce though! The owner was focused solely on entertaining 1 table only and didn't bother checking/ touching base with the rest of the customers (4 out of 12 tables were occupied) There's a lot of better-tasting Filipino restaurants in the area that I'll return to. Some have faster service than the others. Not sure if this is a one-time off-day here but this first dining experience here will be our last.

    Bistek Tagalog
    Kay d.

    Cute interior, interesting menu, but execution fell short. Bistek Tagalog was labeled ribeye but way too tough. Fries took up half the plate--crunchy with mayo, nothing special. Cebuchon with the wrong buro was better but still just okay. Smoked fish rice tasted more like plain garlic rice. All in: $96. Strong aesthetics, mid flavors, value didn't quite deliver.

    Sinagang with bone marrow. Garlic rice. Sisig.
    Joanna D.

    The food was fantastic! Had a flavor twist with the sisig & sinagang. The sinagang came with a bone marrow & it was great! The garlic rice was delicious as well & we end it with Turon Baklava with ice cream. Very flavorful & tasty with the banana chips, biscoff bits & pistachio. Definitely would come back here again. Service was fast but that's because we went on a Friday lunch so there wasn't much people but it was nice. The interior designs are very instagramable. I like the bamboo chairs & wall arts.

    Beef Kaldereta
    Muriel T.

    First and foremost, the Cebuchon Sinigang is truly out of the norm--an original, never-before-seen dish that brilliantly blends Cebuchon with traditional Sinigang. Instead of the usual broth, it features a tangy, slightly sweet, tomato-based purée. It looked amazing and tasted even better. The flavors worked exceptionally well and were a very pleasant surprise. If recipes could be patented, this one definitely should be. The Beef Kaldereta was also excellent. It stayed close to the traditional version but was elevated by the addition of a Bleu potato purée at the bottom, which made the dish stand out. We originally ordered the Seafood Kaldereta but received the Beef instead. While that was a small service hiccup, we accepted it--and ended up really enjoying the dish--so it became an acceptable mistake. The restaurant itself had great décor and thoughtful table arrangements that elevated the overall experience. While the building looked older, it didn't feel run-down at all; everything was clean and appeared newly renovated. Parking can be a bit challenging due to the small lot, so street parking may be necessary. Overall, it was a great experience, and we will definitely be coming back.

    The beautiful owner and me
    Jolens V.

    The food is very good and creative. It is delicious and the portions are generous. The ingredients are well sourced and very fresh. The service is excellent. Its like visiting a Titas house in the Philippines. The owner is very friendly and accommodating. I'm so happy we met her . She told us the story of their restaurant and it was very interesting and entertaining. The place is nicely decorated and organized. The restroom is very clean and nice smelling. . I recommend visiting them and experiencing their hospitality. .,

    Meg C.

    WE had such a great experience at Inda & Mely. The food was honestly delicious, with a really unique Asian fusion twist that made everything feel a little different (in a good way). Every dish we tried had so much flavor and creativity behind it. The place itself is beautifully decorated--warm, inviting, and just a really nice space to relax and enjoy a meal. You can tell a lot of thought went into the ambiance. We were also pleasantly surprised with complimentary desserts and spring rolls, which were both so good and a perfect way to end the meal. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience with great food, a welcoming vibe, and thoughtful touches that made it even more special. Service was great too! Definitely worth checking out!

The drumettes were meaty which I appreciated. They were well seasoned also. I think I need to try their other wings before crowning these, but some of the cruncheist wings I've had for sure. Grade: A- Beef Dac Biet Pho had some real high quality meat in it. I had options in noodle and my go-to for any pho spot is the egg noodles. I wish it had more bo vien in it, but I appreciated the combo of meats. The broth seemed authentic, but I wanted a tad more flavor out of it without adding sauces. Overall, the pho grade was a B+ bordering an A-. The star of the show was the grilled pork banh mi. The meat was tender and saucy. In fairness I asked for extra pickles and mayo, but I was very impressed. The bread had the crispy crunch we all look for but minus the stale bread. The breads soft yet crispness made it seem as if it just came out of the oven! I'm going to dub this as the best I've had in the Bay Area! There I said it! Grade: A+ Everyone who ordered the sampler seemed very pleased at other tables, I would definitely try that. Also, want to try the other banh mis and noodle options for the pho. There was a nice vibe at this place. I didn't feel rushed although they do close fairly early at 8pm. The server's mom is the one cooking in the kitchen and I appreciated the family feeling at this place. They do have a newer location in San Francisco that has a DJ Friday nights that I may check out. I believe the server said that they are open til 2am on most nights, but I may have misheard her. Feel free to Yelp that location. My only disappointment was that I really love papaya salad and it was not an option. I may make this my go-to spot from now on, but as a Yelper, we all know we will keep trying new places. This will be the one I continue to frequent. Well done Pho de Nguyen!

    Come here when I'm craving chinese food for lunch! I normally get their hainan chicken rice plate…read morewith a side of iced tea, their fan tuan, and their 3 item rice plate. Their dishes are pretty tasty and they have a lot of options for their meat selections. That is to say, their hainan chicken and meat quality is pretty good and rich in flavor! I also love getting their fan tuan. One order comes with 2 pieces. The rice consistency and filling inside the fan tuan is super good. It's one of my favorite items to get here since not a lot of restaurants have it. Their service is fast/good, but it could get busy during lunchtime so it could get a little slow. Their prices are super affordable. And the 3 item rice plate is worth it! They have their own meat deli section in the front area of the restaurant that sells and cuts different types of meat. We occasionally buy their cha siu and duck and bring them home to eat for dinner!

    I have been there for Asian breakfast where there are a few inexpensive at menus. I now go there…read morefor the BBQ and roasted items that you can get to go. Got the roast port today. Don't expect it to be hot as it is sitting and hanging in the take out area up front where they have roast duck, hainan chicken and BBQ pork and ribs. All are solid items. Today I craved roast pork which I got to go. Skin was crispy when I got home and nicely roasted. Wish they gave me a dipping sauce to go with it. Will definitely ask for it next time. Overall - great option for BBQ and roast takeout

    Really enjoyed this place. The fish we had was very delicious and the fish and chives dumplings…read morewere great. I've never had fish and chive dumplings before. Service was prompt and there was no wait. Theres parallel parking in front but its usually filled. Theres a lot behind the store and parking in the next street. The surrounded area is residential so you should be able to find a spot after some hunting.

    We had not planned on eating here but last-minute decided to dine here given this was our only…read moreoption in the vicinity. But I'm not upset at all about this impromptu decision as we had a great meal here. Our table of 6 ordered a variety of dishes and everything was delicious. the most notable items for me were the spicy wontons and fish in chili oil. The dishes were spicy but not so much so that you couldn't enjoy the actual flavors of the dish. For those that like the Szechuan tingling feeling, the chicken in explosive chilis was also quite good. We had also given the string beans, green onion pancake, and pork and shrimp dumplings a shot and all of them hit the spot. I'm usually a huge fan of braised beef noodle soup so decided to get that here too. It wasn't the same as if I had gotten this dish at a Taiwanese restaurant; compared to the strong flavors of the other dishes, this one was pretty mild. So it's something I would skip next time I come, but every other dish was on point. Our waitress was also great at taking care of us, bring out our food quickly and helping us to clear the other plates. Even after we finished our meal and overstayed our welcome by continuing to chat, the staff didn't make us feel rushed to leave.
