My favorites are the adobo either chicken or pork and of course the fried pork belly (lenchon). Beautiful sitting area, feels like you are eating at home with an amazing cook at hand. Thank you!!!

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!

I love Filipino food and have been searching for the tastes I love. Pinay hit the spot. I have…read moreordered from them three times so far. First just a plate of pancit and lumpia, to make sure it tasted like I remembered. I ate the lumpia before I even got home. Then I ordered a lumpia tray for a dinner party with a Filipino family friend (she said lumpia was too much work) and everyone enjoyed it. Today my staff at USF celebrated APIDA/MENA month by introducing them to pancit and lumpia. It was awesome! They couldn't get enough. I will continue ordering from Pinay!

WOW is all I can say! This was the real deal! Absolutely delicious Filipino food that was bursting with flavor! The pancit was perfectly cooked and so flavorful with just the right bite in the noodles. The lumpia was one of the best I've ever had! Delicious filling and super crispy on the outside (zero grease!). The flan is to die for! I didn't but I could have eaten the entire thing myself! Give this small business a chance you will not be sorry!!

I ordered the sweet potato caterpillar roll. And felt that it tasted a little bland, considering all of the different ingredients in it. I also had the eggplants bao buns.

Went on a Friday night and have been excited to try this place! IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Service was…read moreexceptional with great recommendations. We sat outside because the inside seemed busy and a little noisy. The downside to this restaurant is the VERY high price of everything, so it would definitely have to be a special occasion type of place. We ordered a lot of things so I'm going to rank them in how much I liked them! I didn't take any photos except the dessert which was served on a platter because we got so much lol We ordered a lot of cocktails as well which were all very good. My favorite cocktail was the lychee one! 1) LONGEVITY CRAB NOODLES ($32): lump crab, garlic butter, toasted garlic, scallions - OUTSTANDING. We ordered two of them and even added shrimp. Buttery and delicious. You can't go wrong 2) CRAZY RICE ($29): shrimp, chicken, spicy ghost pepper sambal, cucumber, shallot crisps, crispy egg - Some of the best fried rice. I LOVED the heat kick it had to it, I think it really made the dish. 3) SIGNATURE CRISPY RICE - WAGYU ($26): sambal, chives, red chili, asian pesto - I thought I would like the spicy tuna one more but the meat was high quality and melty 4) PORK BELLY SINIGANG ($36): crispy pork belly, sinigang braised radish, sauteed spinach, seared tomatoes, tamarind broth, micro cilantro - You cant go wrong with pork belly! I don't like radish so I couldn't experience the full flavor, but I loved the meat 5) SPICY "TAIL OF TWO TUNAS" ($25): spicy tuna, escolar, shallot crisps - You can't go wrong with spicy tuna rolls and shallots. Great quality and loved the crunch. Simple but delicious - we ordered two. 6) TOM YUM SEA BASS ($58): chilean sea bass, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, baby bok choy, tom yum sauce, kaffir lime oil - I typically don't like sea bass but this was cooked perfectly and the fish was SO BUTTERY. No fishy taste at all 7) CHICKEN INASAL ($36): lemongrass, tomatoes, red onion, watercress, achiote glaze, chili lime vinaigrette, grilled lemon - This chicken has great flavor and was very juicy. I really enjoyed the watercress as well. Hit all the notes of savory and umami 8) SIGNATURE CRISPY RICE - SPICY TUNA ($26): masago, chives, sriracha, chili oil, serrano - Delicious but the wagyu one was better in comparison 9) OXTAIL POT STICKERS ($23) braised oxtail, caramelized onion jus, white wasabi cream - Really great flavor but wish it were a bit crispier. It all seemed very soft in texture 10) SPICY EDAMAME ($11): garlic butter, chili salt - very good but everything else was better and it's hard to compare 11) "RIDICULOUS" ($21) vanilla ice cream, ginger carrot cake, glazed walnuts, caramel - Tempura fried ice cream?!? Sign me up! Delicious 12) COCONUT CHEESECAKE ($19) coconut mousse, graham cracker crust, coconut caramel, berries - The texture was unlike anything I've had before. It was so creamy and melty. Delicious! 13) MOCHI ICE CREAM ($19) assorted seasonal flavors of ice cream, wrapped in rice dough - Chewy and yummy!

My coworker and I were from out of town, we were looking for a Filipino restaurant and saw this…read moreplace with great reviews. The site says 7pm so we got back to our hotel and immediately drove to this place. It was around 6pm when we got there and the sign says food was sold out. We were heart broken and hungry. We sat in the car searching for another food spot when a man walked up to us (we thought it's the last customer coming out with to go food). We asked him if it's truly sold out, he said yes and handed us his food. We tried to turning him down, we didn't want to take his food. He was very insistent and then finally came out as the owner of the restaurant. He said, here have the food, we offered to pay but he couldn't take payments since his system has been closed. He even walked back inside the restaurant and gave us rice to go. We didn't get to see and taste all of their food, but the chicken adobo, humba, lumpia, pork sausage and monggo that he gave was delicious!! We went back to the hotel and gobbled the food. Now I know why the food was delicious, because the owner has a big heart. It reflects on the food that he serves. He definitely gained new loyal customer with his welcoming attitude. He didn't have to give us food, he could've just simply told us to come back the next day, but he didn't. Filipino hospitality was on full display through the owner. I will come back again to this restaurant whenever I visit St. Pete. Thank you so much for your kindness. I hope that karma blesses you back 10x more, you deserve high ratings for the food and your kindness.

The gentleman behind the counter was very nice, and explained all the different sides to us. The Pancit Bihon, pork adobo, beef stew, bitter melon, and two other pork dishes were all delicious, but our favorite for both of us was the beef stew... We did not arrive till after 1:30 so the Lechong Kawali, was gone, it goes fast because it is so delicious I was told so you have to get there by around 12:30, or you can order some by phone and they will put a portion away for you to pick up... I love bitter melon, which is definitely an acquired taste, I was very happy to find it served here... We will definitely be coming back to have some of that Lechong Kawali, and some lumpia...

This review is for delivery. I ordered using Door Dash. The food was picked up at the expected time…read morebut there were delays on the delivery that were not the fault of Maganda Cuisine. The packaging was adequate. I ordered the BBQ pork, the lumpia, pancit bahon, and the fried fish. The pork and the fish came with rice. The portion size was good. Because the food delivery was delayed, the food was cold, but I won't count that against the food truck. Flavors were good. Textures seemed proper. I don't know that the pancit or the lumpia were the best I've ever had, but for the price, they were pretty good! All in all, I think I like Manila Eats better, but Maganda Cuisine has more operating days, so there you go.

It is a milkfish fried to crispy. Love it with the rice. The second dish is the chicken inasal. This is marinated grilled chicken dish. Very delicious. Overall is about 4.5 stars.

Visiting around 1:00 p.m. turned out to be the perfect timing; arriving just after the main lunch rush meant it wasn't overly crowded, which made for a very pleasant and relaxed experience. The customer service was exceptional--the staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, and they were quick to get the food out. Everything served was piping hot and absolutely delicious. The interior of the restaurant, including the restrooms, was impeccably clean and well-maintained. Being Filipino, I'll admit to a natural fondness for the brand, but even with high standards, this branch truly stands out for its execution. Finding the restaurant is incredibly straightforward as it sits right off the main road in a shared business plaza, providing plenty of easy parking right out front. Cons: Navigating the traffic layout can be a bit tricky depending on your direction of travel. If you need to head out the opposite way on the main road, you cannot make a direct turn and instead have to navigate down the next couple of side streets to find a traffic light to safely turn around. Thumbs up / Thumbs down: Thumbs up! I highly recommend this location and will definitely be back.
