Stopped by Kilig for the second time and I'm so glad we did! We ordered the lumpia, which was perfectly crispy and so flavorful. They served it with a vinegar dipping sauce--I've never had it that way before, but I definitely will from now on. We also had the pancit palabok, bulalo, and shroom shroom fried rice, and every single dish was packed with flavor. Everything came out quickly, but a chef even stopped by our table to drop off some adobo to apologize for the wait--which honestly didn't feel like a wait at all. I'm glad we got to try it though because the adobo had a nice kick and paired perfectly with white rice. The ambiance was very welcoming with plenty of seating, and our server was kind and attentive--constantly refilling our waters. 10/10 experience and can't wait to come back again! read more

Kilig - Filipino Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The service was awesome! They were having some burgers event so their menu was just limited to these 3, despite that, their food was good, maybe except for the regular burger. I did like the Ube burger more, because of the longganisa meat. However when my food came my longganisa was a bit undercooked, so I had to return it to the kitchen, and maybe it took another 20mins or so to get it back but I think that was just their timeline because everyone came in at the same time. The owner was super nice enough to gift my mom a bottle of tanduay. My mom has always been looking for one in WA state but couldn't find, she uses this for cooking and surprisingly the owner just gave her a bottle for free. O_O E read more

I tried Kilig out with some friends on a Saturday night, and it was all of our first times visiting. Its a little off the beaten path, but the vibes are fun and different than other ID spots with its retro bar, ambient lighting, greenery, and table games. Kilig's menu is a little limited but is set up family-style. We got lumpia, shroom fried rice, sisig, OG palabok, and pork belly adobo, which was plenty for 4 people. I personally loved the fried rice and of course, the sisig. Everything came out as it was ready so it was super fresh and ready-to-eat. Service took forever though. Despite being there before the rush, getting orders in took a good while, and even more so for the food to come out. Our friends were going to a show and worried about being late! Because of this, we were rushing to pay and leave, but unbeknownst to me, they pre-add gratuity. I wish they had said something; Kilig made bank from me that night, womp womp. read more

Kilig is located on 8th Ave, toward the quieter end of Chinatown, so traffic is noticeably lighter compared to other nearby spots. This restaurant is the sister restaurant of Musang. While it's more affordable than Musang, I still find it a bit pricey for the portion sizes. That said, the restaurant is spotless, and service is fast and attentive. Kilig describes itself as a panciteria, which traditionally refers to an inexpensive, casual Filipino eatery, and a bulalohan, meaning a place that specializes in bulalo (slow-cooked beef shank soup). Personally, I don't fully agree with the "panciteria" label given the pricing. However, despite the smaller portions for what you pay, the food itself was phenomenal. One thing to note: a 20% service charge is automatically added to your bill, whether you're dining solo or in a group. What We Ordered Lumpiang Shanghai Fried pork and shrimp egg rolls filled with water chestnuts and carrots. This is one of the most classic Filipino dishes, and it's hard to go wrong here. These were very crunchy and served with their house-spiced vinegar, simple and satisfying. Sinigang Wings These were just okay. They're standard fried chicken wings with a light salt and vinegar tang. There's an option to make them saucier (hot honey glaze) for an extra $2, which we skipped, but probably shouldn't have. That might have added more flavor. While they were crispy and not dry at all, it's hard to justify $17 for this appetizer. Bulalo Beef Shank Soup A comforting boiled beef shank soup with corn, charred cabbage, and potatoes. The portion size was good, and the bone marrow was delicious. However, some of the beef was on the fattier side, and the broth itself was a bit bland, could've used more salt. Oink Oink Spicy Adobo Our favorite dish of the night, though the portion was disappointingly small. Don't expect a lot of meat. That said, the flavors were excellent: braised pork adobo with baby potatoes, shishito peppers, rice wine vinegar, and spicy habanero. If you're sensitive to heat, definitely eat this with rice, it helps balance the spice. Drinks Tepache Sazón Pineapple Beer Hear me out! I know it's Mexican beer, and we're at a Filipino restaurant. I'm also not a big beer drinker. But this was amazing. It tasted like pineapple juice with a light, fermented kick, refreshing and easy to drink. I'd honestly come back just for this. read more

This place is the sister restaurant of Musang in International District. We ordered many things to try and sample. The sizzling sisig was very good. The pork shoulder was very soft and tender and lots of flavor with a slight spicy kick to it. The og palabok was also very good little shrimp and pork ragu, the flavors were very well match with the glass noodles. The sinigang wings and lumpiang Shanghai were also very good albeit a bit pricey for lumpia imo. Fried very well, crispy and flavorful along with the great hot honey dipping sauce. The bulalo beef shank soup was good but felt nothing to write home about. It was very tender but nothing too crazy. The Ube panna cotta desert was excellent! It was not overwhelming in ube and not overwhelming in sweetness and soft. Our waiter was very nice and attentive. She was very accommodating of the kid we had with us for kid friendly utensils which saves many a headache. The decor is cute and has a bit of a bar vibe if anyone is looking for that. read more

I had no idea about this restaurant. My brother wanted to eat Filipino food, so I found this on Yelp. It was earlier than we would usually eat dinner. I was surprised when the host asked if we had a reservation. It was a little after 4 pm and the restaurant was empty. That should have been my first clue. Music was loud. That should have been my second clue. We had our choice of anywhere we wanted to sit. I chose a table next to the wall. Looking at a the menu I couldn't tell if the food was for individuals or family style. The waitress said they were healthy portions and could be shared. The lumpia was posted at $14. I asked, how many in the order. She said , "four". I must have looked at her like she was crazy. She then said, "they are this long" signifying they were longer than the usual size. Third clue - Lumpia Shanghai are thin. I ordered them anyway. I also ordered the fried chicken wings. She said there are eight to an order. They were supposed to be flavored in tamarind sauce. I asked that they be plain with out the sauce. They were good without the sauce, but I happened to have extra vinegar sauce that came with the lumpia. So I tried it in my chicken. It was the bomb. So far so good. For the main course, I asked if we could order the spicy adobo without the Spicy habanero. She said no that's how it's made. My family obviously comes from a different province. If anything, we add sugar. So we didn't order that. We ended up with Pancit Canton with chicken and Palabok. After the main dished came, we quickly realized we needed steamed rice. I have to admit these dishes were pretty wonderful. We each had second helpings. I was surprised how good the food was until the bill came. They charge a 20 % service charge. The bill came to over $124. I kept thinking about all the frozen lumpia in my freezer at home. Okay I admit the food was very good. Wait staff were friendly, attentive, and not pushy. I would go back, not frequently, but perhaps on special occasions. read more

The inside of this place is quite nice and well decorated - it seems like a good spot to grab a yummy dinner! read more

Kilig - Sinigang wings - Filipino Near Me - Seattle, Washington

As a Filipino-American, I had so much Filipino pride walking into the doors of Kilig since just a seemingly short few years ago there weren't very many sit-down Filipino restaurants with chic and modern interiors to go to in the Seattle area. A common sight were the simple, "turo-turo" counters where food was kept warm under heat lamps. Kilig offers a casual, yet semi-fine dining atmosphere with prices reflecting more of a special occasion outing with humble and traditional Filipino dishes that are given an elevated and often creative twist. Chef/owner Melissa Miranda has helped to lead the charge in changing the Filipino restaurant offerings and landscape in Seattle. Among her three restaurants, and comparing their ambiance and authenticity of the Filipino food they serve, Kilig is the perfect middle ground between Musang (more fine dining and not as traditional) and CheBogz (more casual and traditional). Kilig is located in the Chinatown/International District of Seattle. Expect street parking only, which is free on Sundays and holidays. I enjoyed Kilig's food, ambiance, service, and I think that it is overall "Panalo" (winning in English). I am excited to come back here soon to try more dishes and to simply enjoy the community vibes at this restaurant and support the struggling Chinatown/International District. Please help to spread the word and always #supportlocal and #supportsmallbusiness. read more

Super friendly and attentive service! The drinks very unique and the Paquiao punch was the best one we got (ube)! The pandan soda had a very slight pandan taste. The food was also delicious! The sisig and shroom shroom fried rice were the best flavor wise! The adobo is more creamy and the meat is very tender. The lumpia and ube panacotta was average. We had originally come for Seattle restaurant week, but the deal was actually more expensive than ordering plates individually and sharing (with more variety). read more

Service was excellent Super nice staff Food was good but the price is on the higher sides thus the lower score Space is nice and clean with lots of lovely cute plants. Haven't been back. Mainly because lots of more affordable options in the ID for lunch But would come back to check out one of these days when I feel like splurging read more

Food: So good I couldn't stop eating and didn't take a picture of everything Pork Adobo- saucy, tender, and flavorful Lumpia: delicious as well as the sauce that came with it! Perfect crisp! Pancit: had 2 different kinds (classic and the combo...not called that)...both were tasty and filling! Drinks: I forgot the cocktail name but I believe it had rum and lavender ! Refreshing and strong! Definitely recommend this spot to try...the menu isn't huge but you'll find something for sure! Service: Fast and Friendly Ambiance: chill vibe with good music read more

I've been told my opinion about this place is wrong lol. I thought it was ok, a little pricy, and the flavors were definitely punchy but missed the mark a little to me. But that's based on my tastes and not what's authentically filipino. Ex i thought the adobo was soo acidic and sour and apparently that's the right was to do it. I did like the wings! And we weren't sure if we wanted it with sauce or not so they let us get it on the side. And the OG palabak was good too but $20 good? ‍ read more

Cute and vibrant Filipino restaurant. I ordered the pork adobo which was creamy and tangy with well-braised meat.

This is a tiny place in the CID. My buddy had been here before, so he was in charge of ordering. We landed on wings, some veg dishes and I got the bulalo, plus rice. The wings were tiny, the size of my little finger and a waste of time. The bulalo was great! I would come back just for this. Rich and hearty...it was a meal. Oh and o had the calamasi drink which was also a big hit. Maybe a just in the mood stop. read more

We set up a reservation to try this place out as part of my birthday weekend, and upon arrival, we were greeted with birthday wishes! The restaurant itself is actually really big, and I thought it was classy with the decoration and set up! We ordered the Balisong and the Love That For You! for fun drinks! Soooo yummy! The Balisong was surprisingly spicy, but still really good! The Love That For You! is a yum drink for people who like teas. We ordered Sinigang Wings for appetizers, and we loved it! They were so hot and fresh and crispy and so sour -- 10/10 would order again! We got the Sizzling Sisig and the Pork Belly Kare Kare, and we LOVED that kare kare. We ordered the Kopiko Tiramisu for dessert, and they were kind enough to light a candle on there!! When we paid, they even comped it, and I really appreciated that. Would love to come back!!! Spoon & Pork in LA and Kilig in Seattle will remain my top two favorite Filipino restaurants ever. read more

How have I not reviewed this place sooner? Last night was my 4th time here and they don't fail to amaze me. I love traditional Filipino food, but I also like more Americanized or experimental versions of it. We've ordered a variety of dishes every time we visit, but last night, we ordered the lumpia and sinigang wings with the hot honey glaze for appetizers l. One of our friends wanted the original sinigang wings so we ordered that as well. For the main dishes, we got the mushroom fried rice with Chinese sausage (you gotta order it with the Chinese sausage! It's the only way to do it). We also got the pork belly kare-kare and the oink pink spicy adobo. Everything was delicious! I love how the fried rice was flavorful on its own so if you wanted to eat just that, you'd be fine. The kare-kare was flavorful, but I just hope it had more meat in it. The adobo was perfect! It was sufficiently spicy and it has the perfect balance of the soy sauce and the vinegar along with the coconut milk. My husband doesn't like the traditional adobo, but he likes the version with coconut milk (ginataan). The place is light and open and the service is always on point. No complaints on either category! I'd love to come here every day or every week if I could! read more

It's been a year since I've dined here and I really liked it, now, a year later... It was a Saturday night and we stopped by for a table for 2 and got seated at the empty bar. There were a couple of things that stood out. - All the table settings had glasses filled with water already and all I could think about was the dust that the glasses collected until being consumed. - The prices are a bit higher than they were (understandably since everything else has gone up in price), however, a dish with 4 pcs of pork for $20+???! (More on this dish later) - There is an automatic 22% gratuity, which I know more and more establishments are heading towards, however, in an empty bar, our water remained empty for the duration of our meal and was only refilled until we were about to pay the bill. I'm all for automatic gratuity, but I would hope for an equivalent service. We ordered the sinigang wings to start and truly that was the most enjoyable part of the whole experience. It was light, crispy, juicy and a perfect amount of tang from the sinigang mix. The palabok was extremely watery (did the noodles get drained properly or is the sauce just usually that runny?) and didn't coat the noodles at all. The adobo was good, the pork was tender, the sauce was full of coconut/soy flavor (almost Bicol like). The crispy pork kare-kare special was a miss. The pork had a strong Chinese five-spice seasoning, barely warm. The vegetables were cooked perfectly, however, also barely warm. The sauce was the hottest part of the dish. I'd come back, but strictly for the wings and bulalo. read more

Before coming to Seattle for a conference, I did my research on the local restaurants. In some of the reading that I did, I fortunately discovered Kilig and we decided to check it out. Kilig serves Filipino food and it was small, cozy restaurant located in the Chinatown district. It was very busy with what appeared to be a very eclectic group of locals. I'm thankful we made a reservation because I don't know that we wouldn't have had to wait with how busy it was on a Friday night. We had a lovely server and she was very helpful in advising us what to order as well as the quantity. We started with drinks and while their drink menu wasn't vast what we had was just awesome. I had a drink with lychee in it, that was outstanding. We decided to share some appetizers and main dishes recommended by the server. We started with lumpiang Shanghai which were like long skinny egg rolls that were so delicious and we especially LOVED the green papaya salad which could not have been more amazing. We shared 'shroom fried rice, and the classic pancit. It was plenty of food for three people, and we had enough leftover to bring home. We ended the meal with the incredible Ube dessert that had all kinds of different textures on top with the ube base that was almost like an ube flan. This is a definite must for anyone if you want a great festive atmosphere, excellent service and incredibly flavorful food! read more

Filipino fusion (not 100% traditional, but 100% delicious). Start with the sinigang wings--they're a must! The hot honey dip was good, but imho the wings didn't need it. We took a chance on the mushroom fried rice, and it was amazing. The sisig was another standout--smoky, slightly charred, with crunchy bits. Unfortunately, we didn't have room for soup, though I really wanted to try the bulalo. Instead, our server recommended the papaya salad, and we gave it a shot. It was fresh, refreshing, and delightfully crunchy. Book your table through OpenTable, or walk in and see if there's seating at the bar. read more

Pretty solid and tasty spot with a nice atmosphere. This place has been on our list as well as their sister restaurant Musang! Parking - a bit hard to find on the street. We ended up parking at Uwajimaya since we planned to shop there. Came for lunch on a weekday and it wasn't too busy. We were able to get seated. Food: + Pacquiao's Punch - very tasty non-alcoholic drink! + Tamarind Ginger Beer - hubby didn't really like this drink, said it wasn't sweet enough for him + lumpia - yummy! came with a vinegar soy sauce instead of sweet chili sauce. I think it would have tasted better with a sweet chili sauce but still tasty. + Spicy adobo - didn't really tasty spicy but the flavor was really good. +Chilimansi noodles - solid flavor but felt a little rich for my taste Overall, it was a pretty good spot. More modern feel than homecooked comfort but it was fun to taste their take on traditional filipino foods. They do include a 22% service charge automatically which is fine. Food portions are on the smaller side for the price. read more

The atmosphere here captivated me the moment I walked in: the lighting wasn't glaring, its warm, soothing color palette inviting. The background music was at just the right volume, allowing for conversation without being too quiet. The combination of wood and greenery gave the space a breathtaking feel, and the tables were spaced appropriately for privacy. The details were also a plus: a thoughtful waiting area at the entrance, the room smelled fresh and clean, the tableware and tabletops were spotless, and the restrooms were well-maintained The service was "visible but not intrusive." The receptionist smiled naturally, seated promptly, and briefly explained the menu without pushing too hard. Refills and water refills were effortless, and each course flowed smoothly from start to finish, ensuring you didn't have to wait too long or the table was overwhelmed. The food was quietly checked for taste and temperature, the plate was quietly cleared, and the checkout process was clear and quick. Overall, the restaurant felt caring, yet still provided a small space for focused conversation with your companions The food's presentation is impeccable, with thoughtful yet unpretentious presentation. It arrives at the perfect temperature and cooking time, evoking a thrilling "wow" from the first bite. The flavors are distinct, with a perfect balance of savory, savory, and sweet and sour, allowing the flavors of the ingredients to shine through without being overpowering. The textures contrast, with some smooth, others crisp, and some with a subtle, lingering aroma, making the meal more enjoyable the more you eat. The portions are just right, neither overwhelming nor overwhelming. The desserts are comfortably sweet without being overpowering, and the drinks offer memorable flavors, perfect for sipping and chatting The overall price-performance ratio is excellent. Reservations are recommended, as weekend dinners are quite popular, but turnover is reasonable. The restaurant's noise level is well-controlled, making it suitable for dates, anniversaries, or small gatherings with friends. For a quieter atmosphere, a window or corner seat is ideal. Parking is readily available nearby, making it an easy walk away This is a place that makes your heart flutter: the environment is relaxing, the service is attentive but not excessive, and the food is stable, delicious, and full of surprises. When you leave, you will subconsciously look back - that light kilig feeling still lingers in your heart. I will want to come back again read more

It's been a long while since coming back here when it first opened late last year, and the dishes here are pretty solid despite them not having the ones that I was looking forward to. I went with friends here during a Friday weeknight, and we got seated very quickly even though the inside was nearly full. There's shelves full of sauces, books and wine inside, and there's also bar seating on the left-hand side. Servers overall were very attentive in describing to us what each dish was when I asked questions about some of them, in particular about the summer pancit canton. We got an order of lumpia, sisig and the summer pancit canton. For this review, I only ate the lumpia and sisig. Since the dish was pretty small, I ordered a side of rice to go along with it, and that definitely made the dish a lot better to eat! The egg in the middle was a nice protein addition and complimented with the pork shoulder inside, though there was a ton of onions and peppers after I was done eating. The sisig came out sizzling, which was definitely an immediate plus since the whole dish remained piping hot even after I finished everything inside. Lumpia came out hot and fresh along with sawsawan sauce on the side. Dishes here are quite expensive, and there was a service charge of 22% that got added onto our bill. Overall, great service though not sure if the prices justify the quality of the dishes. read more

Oh. My. What a delight. My friend and I recently came here for dinner and I am still dreaming about it. Located in the international district, this fillipino spot was just delicious. To start with cocktails, I wasn't intrigued by the options - but mentioned wanting the mezcal cocktail but with just tequila. I think they batch their cocktails so that wasn't an option - but she had the bartender make me an off-menu coconut tequila cocktail and it was so so good! To eat, we shared the lumpia (yum! and so fresh.), one of the pancet (noodle) dishes, and the spicy pork adobo with steamed white rice. The pork adobo...was arguably one of the most delicious meals I've had in quite some time. It was fresh, fragrant, filling, and not at all the flavor profile I was expecting...and I loved it. The restaurant was clean, decorated cutely, and the service was fantastic! read more

THE BIG: Located in Seattle's International District. Medium sized restaurant with great Filipino flavors fused into other asian dishes. Street parking is available. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here with a group of friends and we got a couple of drinks to start off the dinner before moving into the food portion. The drinks are pretty good with a few cute cocktails. The only beers on menu are Filipino (aka san Miguel and san Miguel dark). I wish they had red horse, then it would be truly authentic. For the entree portions, we got the sinigang wings (not too sour but so delicious), the chilimansi noodles (nice acid and decent servings), sisig (can't go wrong here with traditional braised pork shoulder chopped finely), and bulalo (nice beefy soup). They have a automatic gratuity of 22%, just FYI. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall, the bill for all the dishes and drinks was around $330. Great ambiance inside and would recommend for those who want to try out some Filipino fusion cuisine. read more

Came here for Seattle Restaurant Week (SRW) to try Kilig for the first time with two of my friends. Service was great, the ambiance was cozy, and the food was okay. Unfortunately, the price point is horrible which is the main cause of the 2 stars. The SRW menu was $50 per person for a starter, main, and dessert which is $6-$10 more expensive than ordering the same items individually. All members of the party must order restaurant week if at least one person is ordering, which is fine. Their regular menu states a 20% gratuity is added to all checks. So we were thinking, maybe the gratuity fee is taken off of the SRW orders. However, to our surprise, the check included the 20% gratuity on top of the SRW price. So they are receiving 20% gratuity on top of the more expensive SRW menu. This is not what SRW is about and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I don't know if there was an honest error in making the menu, or if they don't think customers will notice the scam. If you would like to try Kilig, definitely go for the ube panna cotta as it's one of the best renditions of halo-halo I've ever had, but do NOT order from the Seattle Restaurant Week menu. Food review: I'm from the southern islands of the Philippines, so the pancit canton and pork adobo is quite different from what they served at the restaurant. The canton has fresh radish, cilantro, and a sour flavor which I am not used to. But the good amount of vegetables and the tenderness of the noodles were great! I'd give it 3/5. Their adobo was in a sour coconut gravy-like sauce with potatoes, which is also different from the stickier, soy sauce version I grew up with. It's not quite to my liking 2/5. Their lumpia (both pork and gulay) were average 3/5. Their ube panna cotta...amazing 5/5 no complaints. read more

Before the opera, I'm really excited to try a Filipino restaurant in Seattle's Chinatown. I just saw it on my friend's Instagram, and I can't wait to check it out before we move! First, I called to see if we needed a reservation and if I could try their bulalo and spicy adobo. They asked for my name and number and assured me that it wouldn't take long to get our food. When we arrived, we ordered more food: rice for $4, calamansi soda for $6, lima for $14, and sweet corn panna cotta for $12 (it's small but definitely yummy!). Of course, we also got the spicy adobo for $26, which my husband loves--it's quite a kick! I tried it and found it great for those who love spicy and creamy dishes. I also tried the beef shank soup, bulalo, for $26. It was delicious but lacked the usual abundance of ingredients they only have some spring onions, corn and potatoes. The restaurant had a unique Filipino-style interior, which was nice, but I think there are more affordable options with bigger portions elsewhere. read more

Definitely liked this place better than Musang so that's a good start. First thing noticeable inside was the big green mural with the name of the restaurant which I loved and the big wooden shelf filled with knick nacks of things you'd find in a Filipino household giving off cozy home vibes. Despite being busy the staff were still friendly. For a small appetizer we had the Lumpiang Shanghai which was crispy and made fresh paired with a tangy sauce. I had the Palabok I was satisfied with the portion size, amount of meat and shrimp, noodles were cooked perfectly and not mushy, and the taste of the sauce was exactly what it should taste in this dish. Only thing I would say is I wish there was more sauce as it felt like the amount given did not distribute to all of the noodles. Overall had a solid experience here and for sure trying the other menu items when I dine back. read more
