Pancit Malabon
Leonid V.

So my wife and I were driving down the interstate during holiday travels when it got to lunchtime. Honestly? We just saw the sign for Subway and Pizza Ranch and figured we'd get something quick and get right back on the road. We park in the lot, look up, and see the sign for a random Filipino restaurant - not something that I would expect to see in a little town in Iowa. Been a long time since I had that particular cuisine, so we figured why not? Interestingly, there was an "American Menu" and a "Filipino menu". Can't comment on the American menu, it was just some burgers and such - we came for the Filipino food. First thing that jumped out at me on the Filipino menu was their Lumpia - listed with the disclaimer "not an eggroll". We got it and I can say - while it isn't an eggroll, it is quite tasty. In addition, we each got an entree: I got Pancit Malebon, a rice noodle dish season with ground pork and shrimp. My wife got the Kare Kare, a peanut beef stew that came with garlic fried rice. Both had very generous portions, were exceptionally well seasoned, and left us quite satisfied. Turns out the place had just opened a few weeks prior and didn't even have a Yelp profile yet - we really just ate here completely randomly. Regardless though, it was a phenomenal experience - I only wish it was closer to our own home so that I could come back!

Ok first of all -- I did not know what to expect from the only Filipino restaurant in all of Sioux City. I like to think that I have high standards when it comes to Filipino food, so trust me when I say: do not sleep on Devina's homecooked dishes. I had her dinuguan and it is by far the best dinuguan I've ever had. Not only is she a phenomenal cook, she can bake too! She may just get tired of seeing me from now on :)

Specials Menu

This was my third time here, and I can say I am sold. Tonight two of us ordered off the "specials" board, new offerings not yet on the printed menu. I had Tinola, a chicken and ginger soup. The broth was super flavorful, it came with a side of rice, and I was loving it, but then I was offered to spice it up with some Thai peppers - warning, quite hot - and that's what took this from a great meal to an incredible experience. I only added a tiny bit, but wow! I LOVED it. Cant wait to go back. My sweetheart ordered the pulled pork sisig tacos (and let me try them) and we both were thoroughly impressed. Super tasty! The youngest member if our group, a seventh grader, ordered adobo (sp?) chicken and liked it so much she got a box to take the remainder home. Clearly family run and authentic. Give this place a try, I recommend it!

This is a charming breakfast & lunch spot, just south of Sioux City, IA - a few miles away from the…read moreairport. The staff is friendly and make you feel very welcome. When you walk through the door, there is a long, 1940's style soda fountain counter right in front of you. Wooden booths flank the two windows, and the remainder of the space is taken up by tables and chairs. A gift shop is off to the right. They go all out for holidays and a Halloween animatronic greeted us when we entered (this is written in October.) While deciding what to order, sodas were accompanied by ice cold frosted mugs. Menu is small and they were out of a couple of items. The food is ok, but there were two issues which resulted in the four stars, instead of five. 1.) The grilled cheese sandwich was grilled in grease that left an odd taste. Not enough to deter eating it, but definitely noticeable. 2.) The chicken salad tasted like it was made with a cheap sandwich dressing, not mayonnaise - a little bit disappointing. Service was quick and super friendly. Prices are very reasonable. Definitely worth a repeat visit if only to see the seasonal decorations. By the way, you can only pay by cash or check. No credit cards accepted.

So I am in Sioux City for a business trip and I really wanted to experience the local fare & flavor…read moreof Sioux City. Well there is no better place to go to for that hospitality and local business owned operation than Kate's! I am planning to go back for a second trip this week and I want to ask for Kate's signature food to be able to give a review on some of their favorites. But just on first approach, it is in the most wonderful corridor in Sioux City it has that 1950s hometown feel to it. Inside the restaurant it is a cozy environment that is so welcoming to its patrons. It is clean, well decorated and inviting. Please note this is a cash or check only operation so no credit cards!

March 2027 Sioux City, Iowa…read more Very nice interior. Large bar in the front center that seemed to be popular with guests. A few tables wrapped around the bar. We took a table in the back of the restaurant. Simple table with black cloth napkins. No candle , no flower, just a small salt and pepper set with a few menus. The menu offers a variety from expensive seafood and steaks to sandwiches. I chose the seafood Mac and cheese. My husband had the pork chop with sweet potatoes and a side of grilled cauliflower. The other couple ordered Mediterranean pasta with shrimp instead of chicken which came with a slice of focaccia bread. His wife had the chicken margherita sandwich which came with sweet potato waffle fries. My husband said the pork chop was dry and overcooked. My seafood pasta was served warm. It looked like it sat under the heat lamp while other food was prepared. Oddly enough, my meal did not come with any bread. But the other pasta dish had focaccia bread and even the kids meal that had mac & cheese had a big chunk of bread as well. Was it an oversight? Also missing from my dish was the Panko crumbs that were to top the dish. None to be found! My pasta had really great flavor. A complaint is that every third bite I was pulling a shell out of my mouth. It's good to know that the seafood is fresh, but I should not have to bite around the shell of the seafood. Also, because it was served warm, it made it less than enjoyable. The Mediterranean pasta I was told was delicious and it looked so. A lot of sauce as well. The chicken sandwich was quite large. Although it was tough and not tasty. It came with a side of sweet potato fries, which came out after we started our meal. It was forgotten the first time around. Overall, I would give the ambience an eight. Service was good and it deserves a seven. The food however, which I think is very important when you go to dinner, would get a solid five. I think the flavor was good, but again, because the food was served cold, and the pork chop was overcooked. I would most definitely take points off.

Very cool place we discovered close to our hotel…read more The winner of the night was the pasta with chicken, mushrooms, and balsamic cream sauce. The Korean BBQ steak had a terrific flavor but was quite gristly. We sat at the bar and received except service. The bartender was attentive but also sensitive when we were in deep conversation. She did not needlessly interrupt.

I will start with the one positive - the interior is quite nice. I was pleasantly surprised. But…read morethat is the one and only positive about this place. The food and service were amongst some of the worst I have ever had. After greeting me at the hostess stand, the hostess took me to my table, threw down the menus and walked away without saying a word to me, or even looking at me. She did it so aggressively, I wondered if I had said something wrong. I then watched her do the same thing to every other diner she sat. The server had no knowledge of the menu, nor could she make any recommendations. She got visibly frustrated when I asked the details of a few items. She had zero interest in me, or representing the restaurant in a professional manner. I ordered the 4 Brothers Burger, thinking that it must be good if it was named after the restaurant itself. What arrived was something akin to a Bubba burger. It was not even remotely fresh. It was horribly dry, rubbery and had zero flavor. It had a piece of cheese on it that served no purpose other than to act like a rubber cement ensuring the burger stayed firmly attached to the bun. I was shocked that an item this bland, and frankly cheap, would be sent out to customers. I would sincerely recommend some extra training to some of your staff. I felt that they had zero interest in my experience, nor did they try to represent you in a professional manner.

I was there about 5 years ago when in Sioux City. Decided to return for a dinner because.....WELL…read moreit was getting late, I was hungry and was in Sergent Bluff already. Plus I knew where it was. I was by myself, tried and hungry. Walking in was a welcome site for me it was open, and while there were people in the place I didn't have to wait! I really like the ambiance! Comfortable chairs and booths, there are high-top chairs at the bar, but 'regular chairs and tables in the majority if not all the seating area. Why, I do I notice this? As we have both gotten older and joints aren't as smooth any longer just getting onto a HIGH chair is difficult. The lighting is not dark but low and has a personal feel. There are tables for larger groups, but for me and both if us when dining out we want to be able to talk and not have to yell. I was by myself, but needed a quiet, low-key place to eat before heading home. I ordered a burger, again a place and food to put the day to rest and be able to make the 2 hour drive home. I liked the food, it was an above average burger. The fries are not really special but better than the majority of places, but they were still the generic frozen ones, just prepared better with seasoning. The beer was cold and on tap, not a huge variety but enough that it had 2 of my favorites. I would definitely recommend a place to stop. Am sure locals know this as when searching this site for options they were few without going into Sioux City. But!, For travelers, it is only about 5 blocks east of the exit and easy to find. Stop and rest..Enjoy the food.
