    a plate of meat, rice, and vegetables
    Cecilia R.

    Fantastic Filipino Food!! Manila Eatery has that cafeteria-style mom and pop type feeling right when you walk in and their food is truly authentic. The 4/5 stars is just because their cleanliness could be a little better and their menu options aren't always available. I think they are still getting on their feet after COVID - a few times they have been out of some of the staple dishes (longaniza, lumpia, beef stew). It's sad because when they do have it, the flavor is on point! I'm just waiting for their standards to get back to give them that 5 stars

    It was my first time here The couple behind the cashier are very friendly I ordered one of their 2 item combo plate . For a $15 ( tax included) + tops I was expecting a bigger portion. They put 2 tiny ice cream scoops of rice . The food quality and taste was not satisfactory. I was so hungry and I was around the area and as always I wanted to try something new .

    I almost felt disrespectful at this portion of this two item plate. $13 for two white rice scoops. Literally 2 tiny pieces of beef Kaldereta with all veggies. 2 little chicken adobo pieces Then 5 little Shanghai lumpia's for $3 probably wouldn't come backs

    Extension of the first pic. More Filipino dishes, like pancit, garlic rice, langonisa, etc

    I had family visiting from Virginia and they specifically requested for Filipino food, specifically, chicken lumpia. Of course, I'm happy to oblige since I don't eat pork. So glad Manila Eatery was open on a Monday and most of all, serve chicken lumpia which is rare. Man, I ordered 5 orders and there were 8 of us. I'm bummed I didn't get a chance to take a pic of everyone's order. Once they sat down, they started to eat. Staff: there was a nice lady who helped us out. We weren't familiar w the dishes so we were asking lots of questions. It's not a fancy place but food is not bad either. It's served buffet style and you choose between 2-3 items. This way, you can have more than one main entree. Food: we ordered chicken adobo (could use more chicken breasts or thighs to have more meat), chicken lumpia ( must have been good cuz I only got one. They are a bit tinker than what I'm used to) fried fish (it wasn't too greasy) longanisa (I was told it was delicious, pancit, nilaga and turon for dessert. Price: is very reasonable for the portions. Location/Parking: restaurant is located at Colma Metro shopping center so there's plenty of parking spaces. I'm addition before or after you can walk off what you've eaten and go shopping. This place may not fancy but food is good it gets busy during lunch time. I highly recommend coming as soon as they open which we did or go after lunch crowd has dies down. Enjoy!

We got a table of eight one hour before closing time. Our server told us last order was at 6:45 since the cook had to leave early for another gig. They used to close later at night years ago. We had our usual chick-boy combo sisig, grilled liempo, tapa and garlic rice. Our friends embellished our spread with ginataang sitaw at calabasa (beans & squash in coconut milk), bam-i pancit, chicharon bulaklak (ruffle fat) and lechon kawali. Vinegar based sawsawan and Mang Tomas made this feast even better. We all had water because we were binge eating that weekend. Another large party satisfied at Chibogs. Can't wait for our next get-together here.

I got their Lechon Kawaii, pork adobo and garlic rice. All silog's comes with garlic rice or white rice and an over easy egg. You can add tomato for $2 extra (two sides combo upgrade is $3 more) I loved their Lechon sooooo tender and crispy paired well with the side of white vinegar or the brown sauce! We shared their sizzling sisig which was great per my cousin but I think it was a little dried without the egg? We got the combo of pork and chicken. Shared a Poncit Bihon, I always said more lemon the better but it was ok? I will try other other noodles dishes next time.

While the big shared feasts are fun, I was kinda curious about the specialty dishes (e.g. sisig) that were more of an à la carte experience. Silut Bilao #4: There were only 4 of us, so we didn't get the big dish with "Fight" in the name. There was so much here that no one had to fight for their food. I really like the Misua Soup we start with, had a nice chicken flavor and silky noodles. The main platter had so many fun and delicious items. The Crispy Pata was probably my favorite, so crispy and delicious, especially with the various dips. The Longganisa was another highlight with a cross-sectional cut that enabled a lot of surface area to be nicely charred. The Chicharon was another highlight since it both crispy crunchy skin and some softer meat + fat. The Grilled Liempo had the strongest charred grill taste. Everything else was nice too, just too many to enumerate. For dessert the mixed halo halo with ube ice cream was the best. So many great flavors and textures together at once.

We ordered: 1. Longsilog: Still as good as I remember but now they open it up. 2. Tocilog: Sweet and I love the little pieces. I'm not a fan when they are big pieces 3. Chicken bbq- My niece liked it, it just had to be warmed up. 4. Picadilllo: I wasn't a fan of, too sweet and too much bell peppers and carrots. 5. Garlic peanuts: My dad liked it but said it's too salty. 6. I had asked for a sode of sabao and the sinigang was so deliciously sour.

It's also a popular spot for takeout as we saw several orders being picked up while we, a party of two, dined in. Make your way to steam tray area and peruse the ready to eat dishes or look up at the menu board for more options, like the various silogs. We ordered with the patient (we couldn't decide!) ladies at the register and they will deliver your dishes to your table. We opted for a pork chopsilog and a bangsilog. The portions were huge and tasted delicious. That the sinangag was made to order was a pleasant surprise! Looking forward to coming back to try other dishes!
