I found this place thanks to Instagram and it was soooo good !!…read more We came here with a party of 6 and we came Sunday. It was definitely lively !! Luckily we tried to go before church let out and all the heathens (haha) thought the same thing and it was busy. They were really sweet in the service, kept apologizing for food coming out late, but we didn't think it took that long. So we basically had the left side of the menu. Our favorites were definitely the Lechon meal, the Ube pancakes, the Longinista meal, than the Spam meal. My husbands favorite was the Pandam pancakes. They were sweeter than the Ube ones. We got 5 meals, 2 pancake meals, 6 drinks, and an order of Lumpia, all for $108.00 WOW !! That was so cheap, to feed 6 grown adults. Loved it !!

Random find. A small filipino restaurant in Dallas close to where I was staying…read more Its less 1 star because it took me a while to find it; its inside the building and you literally have to find the suite#. There is ample parking space outside the building. Food-wise, it was good. The food combo did not make sense but it was good. I tried the pork belly, rice, and fried egg. Yep, very non-traditional yet they called it silog. It was different but its good. I had to try the ube pancakes, couldn't finish it but it was good and freshly made.

Food: As one of the few Filipino restaurants in DFW (especially one that's highly rated), this was…read morea must-try. From the get-go, I appreciated the easy-to-digest menu (pun intended), which made ordering a cinch. My partner and I settled on the Lechon Kawali Kare Kare and Beef Pares. The Lechon Kawali Kare Kare was served with the lechon kawali on the side, separate from the sauce and veggies, which allowed it to retain its crispiness--a small but great attention detail. The dish is solid from a taste perspective, especially when paired with their bangoong. You can also eat the lechon kawali on its own, and there's a separate (tasty) sauce/dip for that. The Beef Pares was also great from a flavor perspective, but would have appreciated the meat to be more tender. Overall, the portions were pretty sizable, and each dish came with its own rice (the Beef Pares came with garlic fried rice). Service: Great! Waited on by a young man, who was attentive and professional. Also, came in on a Saturday afternoon to virtually no wait. Ambiance: Casual. Parking: Ample parking. Located in a plaza.

My pictures didn't come out very good and doesn't do the food justice...got bounced around a little on the way home...but mostly because I was too busy salivating over the food and couldn't wait to dig in! The chicken BBQ plate (pictured) is my favorite and the Pork Adobo plate is my husband's favorite - works perfectly because we can share and have both. The meat is so very tender and absolutely delicious! The plates are served with either rice or pansit as well as 2 lumpia. I could make a meal (and sometimes do) just on the lumpia (sort of like a meat filled spring roll - very crispy wrapper and so good!) and the siomai (dumpling from heaven)!! They are something I crave and dream about until Kalesa House comes back to our area. Absolutely fantastic and waaaay up there on the yummy scale!! Such authentic food and friendly people. ALWAYS have a great experience here!!

Dallas is finally getting some up-and-coming Filipino food from first-generation Filipino-Americans…read morewith a love for their cultural food. Not Your Lola's is one of these very pop-ups that you can catch around town introducing most people to their very first bites of Filipino cuisine. But these dishes aren't the exact translations of their parent's traditional recipes but rather their updated, inspired takes on signature flavors and dishes. Take for instance the arroz caldo, their answer to China's congee, but they ramp up this comforting rice and chicken porridge with a myriad of toppings bursting with flavor and texture. The ginger chicken base is studded with chicken and topped with spicy chili oil, funky kimchi, crunchy picked veggies, runny eggs, sweet pork floss and crispy chicken skin. This turns every bite into a different experience on your journey to the bottom of the bowl. This comes with combinations of hot, cold, spicy, sweet, salty, savory, creamy, crunchy, but all delicious. Take their version of champorado, a very chocolatey rice pudding frequently eaten for breakfast, but presented in dessert form, topped with bruleed baby bananas, toasted coconut and that signature drizzle of sweetened condensed milk. Sweet and moreish, this invites bite after bite until there is no more. They do more than rice, however. They've presented a beautifully braised coconut milk pork belly on a crispy sesame chip. It again balanced textures and taste sensations into one condensed, cohesive bite and appeared effortless. I am excited to see what they present next as they continue to innovate and serve food around town.

My partner and I got the Lechon Kawali Kare Kare and Bangsilog, along with a side of freshly fried lumpia. Everything hit the spot--from the crispiness of the lechon kawali, to the savory kare kare sauce, to the succulent filling of the lumpia. Will come back again to try other dishes, but probably early in the day, before the trayed food runs out. Service: Friendly cashier! Food came out of the kitchen quickly. Ambiance: Casual, cozy. Parking: Ample parking. Located in a plaza.

I've been looking for a Filipino food spot closer to home and was so happy to find this one!…read moreUnfortunately, there isn't an abundance of places to get my pancit fix here in DFW. I came specifically for the lechon kawali and pancit bihon. When I walked in, I was greeted right away by a friendly male employee. Since both items are cooked to order, I sat and waited about 15 minutes. Once I got back to my car, I knew I had to try the pork right away while it was still nice & hot. OMG, so delicious! The portion was generous for the price and came with steamed rice. When I got home, I opened my to-go box of pancit bihon (w/ pork) and was amazed by how much food there was. YUM! Between the two dishes, I ended up with enough food for three meals. :D The restaurant is located in a shopping center, so there was plenty of parking available. Inside, it's simple but welcoming, with plenty of seating. I definitely plan on coming back and look forward to trying more from their menu!

I've tried the grilled cut up pork and the lumpia as well as the tocino there. And it was fabulous! The workers there are very nice and will help with anything you need.

Items made in the moment like the pork belly skewers were great. Other items had less demand, so they were sitting for too long (which you could tell) 3. Ambiance was good. The tables were clean, and napkins/toppings available in the side bar. Conclusion: The biggest issue is the pricing is not clear to the customer (both online, and in person). If it was, with the food quality, it would be a 3 star experience.

It was pretty big so we didn't have any issues. Seating: Inside seating. Good for pairs or groups. Room for maybe 50-60 people. Vibes: The area is nothing too flashy. It's a suburban area mixed with chain businesses and local gems. The spot itself is an experience. We were lucky as we were welcomed with some afternoon karaoke. It's a spacious space with a compacted grocery on side, dining and karaoke stage, and then passing the food line is an extension to the coffee shop next door. Great place to relax, find your singing community, and enjoying some comforting Filipino food. FOOD / DRINKS Bilao (means wooden platter) (Recommend) You're welcomed with a medley of Filipino good eats - bbq skewers/pork belly, fried tilapia, lumpia, shrimp, egg roll, and rice. This is a traditional delight so if you're looking for the Filipino experience and comforting flavors, this is your best bet. You have flavorful savory meats, vegetal okra, garlic shrimp, and some crispy/cackling fish and lumpia. You definitely need a group of people (5-8) to finish this. Sago't Gulaman (means tapioca pearls and jelly) (Recommend) For a nice refreshing drink, this felt like sweet tea. A good balance of tapioca pearls and jelly that didn't overwhelm the drink. CUSTOMER SERVICE Celine was awesome! Friendly and super helpful as we navigated the menu. TL;DR OVERALL 5 Stars. Good food, reasonable prices and an all in all pleasant experience. Visiting from California and coming from a family of good cooks, I'm quite critical on Filipino food but this hits. I enjoyed the dishes, products, and enjoyed the community vibes they built. For those looking for Filipino comfort flavors or if you're trying it for the first time, definitely check them out!

Food: Pretty good, from a flavor/taste perspective (but the Monggo was very ginger-y). The prices,…read morehowever, are a bit steep for the portions, relative to other Filipino restaurants I've been to. A double plate at $12.99 (at the time of this review) comes with two entrees and a single scoop of rice, and there's a $2.50 upcharge for "premium" items, like Squid Adobo. For one of the double plates I ordered, I requested for Chicken Adobo, which only came with three small pieces of meat.

The food was good. The people are nice. It definitely looks like you got sucked back to an island…read morein the Philippines for mirienda back home. Food is super legit by all means. The cooks know what they are doing. But just keep in mind that this is on a farm in the middle of Princeton Texas. And there were flies EVERYWHERE. You will see them fly and land and walk around all over the uncovered food. All of them. And nobody cared. So note to self. Lechon is $20 a pound. When I was there they maxed at 2 lbs per person. Some people called ahead. But be informed with their process on their Facebook page. Grilled squid was my favorite. It was $20. Not all options they pictured on their Facebook page that they stated were available actually are. I was looking forward to some pork blood stew and some barbecue pork on a stick and they didn't have any even tho it was mentioned that it would be there. Their process is not efficient as of yet so it takes a while to actually order and then pay for your food. So if you are in a rush- this is not a good idea. There is a little karaoke stage next to the open kitchen. A little stall with desserts being sold. Which were delicious!!! The Ube Leche flan was legit.
