I stumbled across this small shop near my parents' house after being struck with Filipino food cravings on a Sunday afternoon. It was quite busy with several families waiting for their food and cute old Filipino couples enjoying their Sunday lunch. Unfortunately, service was a bit uncoordinated, as I had to wait a while before being served even though the line was not that long. In cafeteria-style fashion, I picked chicken adobo, pancit and veggies as part of the 3-item lunch box special (~$7-8?) but they have other made-to-order items as well. It was all delicious and felt like a home-cooked meal. I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the area and craving Filipino food. read more

I love mom and pop Filipino shops. The cafeteria style food is nice to show their selection of dishes. If you're looking for some good decent Filipino cafeteria style food I would recommend this place. It's not extravagant but this isn't what you expect when going to these small cafes. Food was overall great and felt like home cooking when we were there. Service was straightforward and you can get them to take care of any quick simple requests. Recommend to try this place out if you're looking for some decent Filipino food that taste home-y. read more

I randomly drove into the lot on a whim (I had time to waste) and saw the place so I walked in. Not much on display. Nothing labeled so I asked the nice lady behind the counter. The fried banana was delicious. Crispy flaky sweet crust around a sweet banana. Yum. The dessert with coconut milk and jackfruit, taro, jelly was good too. They also had flan and halo halo and some savory looking dishes. Prices are cheap. Banana was like $1.99. The dessert bowl was $5. read more

I'm actually not that impressed. The flavor was lacking and the food was cold... They had a very chalky kare kare, something they called orange chicken that was actually soppy breaded chicken pieces swimming in a sweet thai chili sauce, a flattened fried eggplant that was soggy, and some type of pork belly curry that was very gamey. All of it was cold as well as the textures and flavors were off. The ladies were nice. That's about all I can say. read more

The suman sa lihiya (glutinous rice cake) with rich, creamy coconut caramel sauce was soooo good in here. It's great for snacks or dessert (you can also have it for breakfast!) and is seriously addicting. If you're not a fan of the coconut sauce, you can add sliced fruit to the suman. Ripe mangoes make a great pair. Anyways, Jayli is a small place with like 2-3 tables to seat on. But due to the pandemic, they only do pick up and takeouts. They only have 8 ready to eat foods to choose from. Never tried any, but I bet it must be good. People here are nice and accommodating, also affordable prices. They also sell Siopao, leche flan, banana bread, etc. read more

The place is small ut the food is super delish!! and the price is very reasonable. There is only 3 of us at home so this is our to go place for our daily meals... They do not have a lot of variety because of their small place but all the food that I tried, the pansit, lechon kawali, beef steak, shanghai lumpia, fried bangus is all top notch... read more

I have been done wrong by this place TWO YEARS IN A ROW!!! Last year, I ordered a tray of pichi pichi to bring to my family Christmas gathering. I drove all the way from Pearland only to leave EMPTY HANDED! They didn't have a staple ingredient that they use to make pichi pichi so they substituted it but the pichi pichi didn't turn out the way it should have. The old lady apologized & said the next time I ordered she promised she would make it right. December 10, 2019 I called & placed an order for a tray of pichi pichi. I spoke to a young woman with a Filipino-American accent. I was told this woman is the owner's daughter. She took my order, read it back to me & also the preferred pick up date & time (Dec 24, 3-4p). I called today, December 23 around noon to follow up on my order only to find out MY ORDER WAS NEVER ON RECORD!!!!! SERIOUSLY!!!! THESE PEOPLE SHOULDN'T BE IN THE CATERING BUSINESS WHEN THEY CANNOT EVEN GET A DAMN ORDER DOWN ON PAPER!!!! The ladies at the restaurant/bakery said there is no way for them to add a pichi pichi order with the amount of orders they already have. NO CONSIDERATION WHATSOEVER THAT I DID MY PART IN ORDERING AHEAD OF TIME & YET MY ORDER WAS NEVER WRITTEN DOWN. THIS PLACE SHOULD JUST CLOSE DOWN! UNPROFESSIONAL & VERY UNORGANIZED! I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THIS PLACE AGAIN! NOR WILL I RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!!! WHAT A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!!! I asked for the owner to call me but I guess they don't value their customers or the business we bring to them! SHAMEFUL!!!! read more

My second time to check this place out. I'm not sure why anyone would go here. It's counter service, with Filipino dishes that changes weekly, but when I asked when certain items will be available, they said it's up to the cook. So you never know when you can expect pinakbet or arroz caldo or something good. Didn't like anything from the buffet, so ordered the halo-halo. It was terrible. Don't think I'll return to this place. There are other places that I would recommend such at Eat and Out on Westheimer Pkwy. read more

I am not Filipino, but def our go to place for appetizer mini egg rolls-delish! A tray of 100 runs around 35$ and is always the first to go at parties.My hubby loves their flan as well. Counter service is on the slower slide. Many of the employees seem to be non-English speaking so communication is a little delayed but overall very friendly. read more

Great crispy pork bellies :) and the ladies were really nice. I recommend ordering ahead since it takes about 20-30 mins to make. I'll def be back I just tried the flan, it's freakin awesome! Very rich and creamy. read more

Small restaurant but you'll be surprised how busy it is with "to go's". Well, the food is delicious like the specialty dishes prepared by grandma at home. My Filipina wife said, "it's like lutong bahay". Moreover, my wife added, "laging bagong luto". One more thing which my wife really loves is the price. It's reasonable, "mura", according to my wife. Well, what else do you want. You really must try Jayli restaurant. read more

Hidden small Filipino restaurant in Old Richmond. They are across Garcia Middle School and beside a Montessori. Their menu are mostly cook to order and for to-go but if you decide to eat there, they have 4 tables to seat on. They only have 4 ready to eat "ulams" to choose from though. Hubby loved their Kaldereta and I like their leche flan and Crispy Pata! read more

We've been coming here because my son loves the halo halo, the service is very inconsistent; depends on who is there. Today, 9/16/18 we bought halo halo and to my surprise served me a with FROZEN ice; after noticing the ice was frozen, I let it sit on our counter for 2 hours before checking on it again if it finally melted... after 2 hours it was still rock solid; I decided to give them a call because we've been going there since we moved to Aliana and they know me and my son as regulars, when I called I told them the shaved ice was frozen and the guy who made it blatantly lied and said the ice was just packed too much; they really served me frozen halo halo that they just topped off with ice cream; I should've known better because I was wondering why they didn't give me a dessert spoon like they usually do, it was really to hide the fact that it was frozen. They continued to denied that it was frozen and used excuse after excuse. This placed just lost a loyal regular customer; the only time I will be going back is to get my refund for frozen $5 halo halo sometime this week. read more

Too bad their food is good because their service is really really really really really really really BAD. Have I mentioned their service is really bad ? Walked in and they have no customers. There were 5 people working, 4 in the back I guess cooking and 1 lady in front on the phone taking a pick up order. I literally stood in front of the counter for 5 minutes with no one acknowledging me even though I am clearly seen, even by the people in the back. She got off the phone and I asked where I can order and she said she's working on the order she just took over the phone so I asked if I should call too. She said I don't know. So I asked you don't know ? So she called Grace to help since she's working on that order. It took Grace a couple of minutes before she came to the front. Two minutes doesn't seem long but I have been inside for more than 12/15 mins - keep in mind. Then She had Grace complete her phone order and started helping me, then had Grace help me then her help me --- it was a mess. Not to mention that she was really fast (times 25 really really ) I mean really fast to ring me up to pay. Again , too bad their food is good, but man a really bad service. read more

I had found this bakery a while ago, and was excited about finally having some time to sample their goods. I walked in this morning, after 11 AM, looking for siopao. There was nothing in the steam table, and hardly anything in the display case. I asked the young woman behind the counter if they had any siopao, and the answer was no. Lumpia, no. Pancit, no. All they had were some beef empanadas in the case, so I told the woman I wanted a couple. She asked how many, and I said 2. Got them home, and they were just OK, dry but some taste to them. I'm not impressed. They had hardly any items available, even though it was well past breakfast and the start of the lunch period. Moreover, they didn't seem to care that there was hardly anything for sale. I can got to other Filipino bakeries in the area and beyond, and get higher quality food and service. What a waste of time... read more

Their siopao is not good. My kid couldn't even eat it, doesn't like the texture of the dough and the meat inside is bad, just one bite and my kid couldn't continue eating it. Either it's old siopao or their siopao is not good. Don't recommend it. Don't buy it even half price, just a waste of your money. read more

This is the only place near New Richmond area that serves Filipino favorites.. Y'all don't expect too much as if you are in a 5 star restaurant. Just don't expect a lot coz as you can see if you come here there are 3 old fellas working HARD in the kitchen with 1 or 2 cooks. And the cashier is an ANGEL, if you really dig deep of understanding her. I am not a psychologist or whatever but going to this place needs understanding and patience on a busy hour. If you crave for Filipino food and you cant see it in their FOOD TABLE meaning they don't have it unless you ask for their menu. There's nothing wrong in asking, although fFilipino people can be super honest of saying why they don't serve this why can they not cook it with a small quantity. Their lumpiang sariwa is the best. I wanted to say more but to be honest it can be tiring explaining sometimes . Basta, yun na nga. read more

Always good! Reminds me of my mom's cooking when I she can't cook for me! Love all them working too. They're sweet and tries their best to cook for you read more

Their fresh lumpia is the best!!! Call ahead for items for faster service. Not a sit down place but a great take out place.

If I can give this place ZERO STAR I would! I sent my husband here to get some sample of their food so we can get catering from them in the future. To my shock, my husband called me so pissed off! He is the nicest guy you can ever meet. He said they didn't give him the menu so he had to ask the cashier what they have. He ordered Empanada- they didn't have any. He ordered Halo-halo and $5 worth of Lumpia(eggroll). As he was about to pay, a lady from the back (the cook) started complaining that it's a complete waste of their time to be cooking only that much Lumpia. My husband could hear her rant so he got so mad he cancelled the order and walk out. I won't be surprise that this place will close down. We'll take our business somewhere else and I will tell all my friends not to ever come close to this place. read more

I ordered some siopaos to go. They just came out of the steamer so they were as fresh as Harvey Weinstein's was. If you want fresh, call ahead to time your visit. I wish there were more meat in it but it was still good. I also bought halo halo, very yummy but I think it's hard to destroy halo halo. read more

Been wanting to check this place coz my colleague frequents here. Finally, I had the chance to navigate the road earlier to look for this place. True enough, food taste "lutong bahay" and not the MSG laden type in most Filipino buffet restaurant. But..... Choices are limited. I've only seen less 10 entree. Spot feels like away from civilization, I mean the drive going to this place. They have Filipino snack on menu but you can only get it on days that there's a bulk order. Apparently, they will sell the excess. I wanted to try their puto, unfortunately, there was no order today. For a very small serving, I paid $7 which is just a dollar and 99cents lower from Filipino eat-all-you-can resto. Pan de pugon in Houston combo meal for 1 can actually be shared by 3. Good thing I wasn't really hungry earlier. 4 stars is for food taste and courteous staff. read more

It really pains me to have to write this review, because my husband and I love the food here. Not as good as mom's, but it's a nice alternative. We've been here several times and have even told friends about it. However, we won't be back. Their lechon kawali is legit and we've also enjoyed a few of their other dishes, such as their hawaiian ribs and breakfast plates. I'd also say their garlic fried rice is on point. So why the two stars? Because of the service I received there this past weekend. I went around lunch time on Saturday, and it was busy, but I wasn't complaining. I just waited in line like usual and after about 15 minutes it was my turn. I was ready and placed an order for 2 orders of lechon and I saw other orders in the back with kare kare, so I asked the lady if they had any kare kare that day. She said "I don't think so", and turned away. I thought she was checking to see if there was any left, but when she turned back to me, she looked up and said "You need to move over there to wait for your food". I was confused, and asked if she was talking to me and she looked at me annoyed and said "Yes. I need to take other customers orders" and I said I wasn't done ordering. And she was like,"I already got your order". I'm like "But I still need to order more". And at this point, she waves her hand in my face and goes "Well excuse me, ya f---ng b--ch". I think it was shock that stopped me from going off on the girl, because I had no idea where that came from. I told her there was no need for her to talk to me like that and I waited in line patiently like everyone else. But she just turned her head and didn't really care what I had to say. The owner, who is a really sweet lady, came up to the front to take the rest of my order, because by this time I wasn't very pleasant. I got my food, paid, and left. I got a silently mouthed "I'm sorry" from the owner. I get that it's busy, but that's seriously the worst customer experience I've ever had. All she had to say was "Oh I didn't know you still had more to order". Then I wouldn't be here trying to find kinder words than what's really going on in my head. Look, if you're trying to grow your business, she doesn't belong in front of your customers. Find someone who is welcoming and makes you want to come back. read more

ordered the lechon kawali and it was good. the skin was crispy as it should be. sotanghon pancit was good. embutido was also good. pan de sal was alright. they are on the small side. it is buy 5 get one free for $1. the place is small and has some dining tables but it is recommended you call ahead and place your order because they cook to order. they do have a few items ready like when i went they had the sotanghon. so this place is more like to go order. read more

The people are friendly and accommodating. I've ordered trays before for parties. I highly recommend the pancit (with combination cellophane and canton noodles), lumpia Shanghai, and the sweet and sour fish. I love that we have a good Filipino restaurant so close by. With time, I'll probably order all their dishes... which they offer so many of. read more

My favorite Filipino cafe in Houston/Sugarland. Very affordable. Everything home cooked! From the soul! I come here at least once a week! I will always and continue to come here for the most authentic Filipino food in town! read more

While their dishes are pretty good for a small establishment, their cook who is a lady in the back is rude and horrible. She has no respect for the customers or even the owners of the establishment who are elderly. It was comical that the owners were apologizing profusely because of the rude cook. They should fire that cook and maybe they will get more customers. read more

Love the bread and lumpia. It's always fresh and delicious! Definitely want to try the other items they make here as well.

Usually enjoy the pan de sal at this place. It's always freshly baked. But my 2 most recent visits, pan de sal wasn't made fresh and they were placed in a paper bag which made them become stale on my way home. Today my mom brought home turon and it was cold, soggy, and the bananas were hard. read more

Affordable, good portion, lumpiang sariwa is scrumptious. Order ahead of time, when placing an order for lechon, lumpiang sariwa and guess what they have breakfast now!!! Bangsilog, tapsilog and longsilog ( can't remember the last one, too many "silog"!) LOL read more

Not the best Filipino food I've had but convenient in distance from me considering there are not many Filipino places near by. I consider the food more better to snack on. You do have to call ahead to order or make sure they have it because sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. For the pro my family and I do like the pandesal, Lechon kawali and leche flan! I wished they had some Filipino drinks like Sago gulaman or halo halo. That would be great for the summer and definitely sell read more

Best Filipino Asian fusion food in Houston with cheap prices and very courteous staff specially Vicky the cook. I personally think this place is better than philippineianas (spell check) and is a must to try. Get the pandesal (bread) instead of buying kolaches or donuts to try something new with your coffee, you will not be disappointed as they seem to be freshly baked and had been consistent with their quality. You can also do a to go order but be wary of holidays as they get slammed with party trays because they are that good. I would highly recommend! read more

desserts are stale, food looks like it's been sitting around for 2 days, employees told me they cook their ox tail with PEANUT BUTTER? employees do not wear gloves. the fridge they sell drinks from was not stocked. store is dirty and in need of a renovation. everything behind the counter is unorganized. this place reminds me of a pop up cafeteria for feeding homeless people. would not recommend this to anyone and will not be going back again. try at your own risk. read more

I'm so excited to have found this place on Yelp just down the street from my house and have been 3 times this week! Everything I've tried has been flavorful and delicious. So far, I've had crispy lechon kawali, palabok, pancit bihon and the best lumpia shanghai I've ever had. My mom loves the pan de sal as well. They have some ready made items you can choose from but everything I've gotten has been cooked to order so call ahead. I'll definitely be back anytime I have a craving for Filipino food so they will likely see me there often! read more
