I've been wanting to try James for a few years now and FINALLY got the chance today!…read more After a long day at work, I called my order in and made the drive to the restaurant. James is a local establishment that features traditional Filipino dishes. My personal favorites are pancit, adobo, and lumpia. The restaurant is located in the back of a shopping center that is currently being renovated. I've come to the shopping center dozens of times, but never realized James was there until a few years ago. The restaurant is so quaint and cozy. I felt like I was in someone's home and they were offering me a nice home cooked meal. The servers were very kind. I bought my own bag for my food (the restaurant charges for bags). My order was ready almost right away. I was handed my food and I proceeded on my way home. I settled on the Canton style pancit. It had chicken, shrimp and deep fried pork belly laid on the top. It originally comes with egg noodles, but I asked to substitute them with rice noodles. The rice noodles were well seasoned- I didn't need any fish sauce, pepper or any other seasonings. The shrimp were baby shrimp, which was fine with me. There were small diced pieces of chicken that were tender and well seasoned. I have to say that I'm not the biggest fan of pork belly. It's a bit on the fatty side, but it does add flavor to the dish. As you can see in my photos, I did eat most of the pork belly pieces. The lumpia was delicious- lightly crispy on the outside, with delicious pork filling on the inside. It came with a sweet & sour-like sauce that was mild and tasty. My meal was delicious and I ate it ALL! As I type this review, I don't feel extremely full and weighed down, which is great! With tip, I paid $24 and some change. I would definitely go back to try some of the other offerings. This is a great spot if you are craving Filipino cuisine that tastes homemade. Solid four gold stars!

I've never met anyone who's ever disliked adobo, and I wasn't wrong this time either; full of flavor and freshly made, we weren't disappointed. In addition to its superb location off of Pulaski Hwy/US-40, it's situated in a nice part of Middle River and has an appealing exterior. Outdoor seating was aesthetically pleasing and a great choice for the weather today. There's also plenty of indoor seating, away from their mini market. The market has a great selection of imports -- a lot of childhood favorites, and some brands that feel like a fever dream seeing again. I suppose part of its appeal can be attributed to the nostalgia of homeland comfort foods and brands, and the convenience of being able to find it all in one place without having to hop on a 16-hour flight. The staff here are very friendly and polite, true to iconic Filipino hospitality. The dining area and store were well-organized and clean. Would definitely recommend checking this place out, even if you're from out of the area -- it's well worth the drive.

A couple tables and and chairs if you want to stay and eat but most people get it to go. The service is welcoming and friendly.

Will definitely be back to try the full plates/combos. Legit flipino food here

Tessa's is a specialty store selling Filipino foods. Real Filipino, not knock off, "Filipino Style"…read moreIt has a lot of variety, is well managed, with professional employees. As for the gratuitous charges of discrimination? They have a video surveillance system, which is clearly announced on a sign up-front. No need to follow anyone around. "is that all?" Is practically universal question for cashiers to ask. I cannot count the times I have been asked. This is really, really stretching reality. Long lines on weekends? People do their shopping on weekends, its going to be long lines everywhere. Again, a gratuitous stretching of reality. Tessa's is a small specialty store, with probably less than half a dozen employees, who serve a niche clientel very well, but treat all customers courteously

I think one of the ways to track where it'll be is to follow its social media. The food is tasty and seems to be cooked on the spot. It sometimes takes ~20 minutes for the food to come out, but it's well worth it. The meat is very tasty and tender and the portion sizes are solid (price ranges from ~15-23 dollars for the main entrees) There's not too many options in the area that serve this type of barbeque, so it's awesome to see some variety. Definitely check it out if you haven't.
