WOW! What a true gem. We recently moved to Tampa, and after seeing the wonderful reviews for Manila…read moreEats, we had to give it a try. Our first visit was a few weeks ago, right before closing, and they were so gracious -- they let us finish our meal while they were cleaning the restaurant, and never made us feel rushed. We ordered the pork adobo, lechon, and pinakbet, and damn, that food was GOOD! The only other places where I've had Filipino food this delicious were in LA or Jersey/NYC. My fiancé is Filipino and he gave it his full stamp of approval, which says a lot! Please support this business -- the owner is as sweet as can be. She was so gracious to us, and we ended up chatting with her for about 30 minutes. We genuinely enjoyed her company. My in-laws are visiting next month and we cannot wait to bring them to Manila Eats. They also do DoorDash, so spread the word!

I got the Halo Halo but without the evaporated milk. It was still delicious and still very sweet so…read moreI definitely recommend it without the evaporated milk if you're unable to consume any milk products. I can still eat ice cream though LOL. The dessert drink was absolutely delicious. I waited for the shaved ice to melt a little bit so I can drink some of it and all the little fruits in there and the beans were absolutely so fresh and I really love the Ube in there. I'm one of those type of people that like to custom my drinks and food so next time I would probably omit some of the fruits in there and either add extra Ube or extra ice cream or something like that if they allow it. The service was exceptional. The folks behind the counter were absolutely super sweet. I know they're Filipino, but I literally felt like I was in Hawaii. The service was so incredible. I felt like I was in paradise.

The Filipiniana is a small, humble eatery that sits in a rather hidden plaza (it's hardly…read morenoticeable from the main road) along and at the crossroads of eastbound Waters Avenue and Dale Mabry. Like most other Filipino restaurants/cafe, there is a behind-the-counter, glass protected buffet at the forefront of the restaurant. From here, you can make your selections as you build your combination platter. The Filipiniana also offers a small section of baked goods and desert, while specializing in drinks such as Halo Halo and other Asian-curated beverages. Interesting to note that the Filipiniana offers catering in the kamayan style (simply put, a spread of various dishes over banana leaves to be shared by multiple people amd eaten with hands). However, they don't serve this in house/at the location - you will have to give advance notice (like with other caterers) to have this prepared. The Filipiniana is definitely a good spot to satiate your curiousity, explore, and discover Filipino cuisine!

Great food truck - my parents loved it. Great variety and the food came out fairly quickly!…read moreEverything we've had, we've liked... so if you like Filipino food but don't want to cook it yourself - stop by here! Super friendly, too. Sometimes when I drive by, it's closed, so I don't know exactly when the hours are. But I just call ahead to order and I've never had an issue with timing. Also, I wouldn't recommend eating there without headphones bc it's right by the interstate... but it's easy to just call ahead and do take out... otherwise, it's very loud and cars are constantly driving by. Sometimes when I'm waiting in school pickup line, I make an order and it's ready by the time I leave the car line!! Talk about convenience! Bottom line, this truck is another example of a local small business trying to make it! Please go check them out and help support them! Maybe if they can grow their business - they can afford a store front or a better location. Anyway, definitely worth trying and coming back soon!

Hard to dislike the only Asian grocery store in my area. They have all you could need and more…read more Produce always cheaper here than American markets. They have a hot bar with ready made food including roast duck and crispy pork. They occasionally have deals but note that you'll need to take photos of the deal as sometimes they're misleading and don't ring up. Not cashiers fault but they should be better about taking signs down if the deal is over.

For one, they wrap some of their vegetables in lifetime supplies. You can't buy chilies, eggplant, turmeric, ginger, or leafy greens à la cart. They're all wrapped. If you purchase one of those pre-wrapped items, then you're committing your week to finishing it. They have a decent selection canned goods, sauces, snacks, meat and noodles. Where they shine is the frozen section. You'll need to experience it. Their location in St Pete is much better...

I ordered the Pew Pew Shrimp - similar to a bang bang shrimp. The Heft - I love the texture of the scallion pancake and combo with the meat. It has a slight spice kick but not much. The Hangry Hawaiian - pineapple and roasted pork on this burger in addition to the burger patty. They also put jalapeños which I said no to. Haupia Pie - sweet potato like dessert with a crust and on top is a solid cream coconut layer. Texture is different. I loved it! Coco Loco ice cream - super creamy pina colada ice cream. My faves in order were: 1. Coco Loco ice cream 2. The Heft 3. Haupia pie 4. Pew Pew Shrimp 5. The Hangry Hawaiian burger Don't get me wrong! Every thing was excellent!! The owners were absolutely awesome!! Super welcoming and helpful and considerate of my time. They had tons of orders and were quite busy. I waited about 40 minutes. I would order ahead of time next time. Next time and there will be a next time, I want to get their Kilauea nachos, xxl ramen chicken, Haupia pie(which Haupia is a Japanese sweet potato - similar to Ube, a Filipino sweet potato used for desserts), coco loco ice cream(think super creamy pina colada ice cream) & scallion pancakes. Yes I loved it that much!!!

I'm a chronic over orderer and usually end up with a ton of leftovers. This time, however, as I sit here mouth breathing trying to muster another bite, I can't bring myself to packing the food up later. Its just too good! Hawaiian spring rolls have a perfectly crisp shell, filled with faintly smokey pork. The pork has a familiar taste, with a delicious pacific island flair. The HEFTT is option you can feel good about eating. The rice, beef, scallion pancake and sauce will leave you satisfied without feeling like you need to avoid food and spend the next week in the gym. The wings are awesome! Crisp, tender, juicy, fall off the bone kinda perfect. No extra sauces needed; eat as they are. Mild kick. The Hangry Hawaiian is the best burger I have had in a really long time! And I am always on the lookout for great burgers. I had beef, topped with pork, bacon, jalepenos and pineapple. Its an amazing combo of balanced, sweet heat. I loved it! (The fries were also really good) The haupia was a sweet, unexpected addition also. Its a buttery, graham cracker crust, layered with sweetened, purple sweet potato, the another layer of a coconut milk pudding. Places like this is the reason why I prefer food trucks and mom & pop spots over chains and big names. Happy Ending Food Truck lived up to its name. Good people, great food, big flavors! I will definitely be back for more!

Depending on who you get, if you only speak English it may be a struggle. They really need to label the food if they have no one to speak English to describe it. Store: They have great meat sales. Spices are always reasonable. They have a great frozen section. Good store. Sometimes the cashiers can be a little rude.

They had shelves stocked to the hilt, with numerous brands offered. The produce and meat/seafood sections were well stocked as well. We left there with several spices and oils that have been difficult to find in standard grocery stores. Had we known beforehand that we would be patronizing the place we would have brought a cooler and picked up a few perishables, but since we were not returning home for several hours it just wasn't in the cards. The store was clean and they have a restroom for customers, both being pluses. If we can't find a decent Asian Market in the Lakeland / Winter Haven region this place will end up being our go-to, even though it is an hour away (without traffic hiccups).

I loved the Mongolian beef and Pancit. Both came with two lumpia which were excellent. The cook is Filipina and she was very nice. There were two people in the truck both of which were wearing masks.
