A local Filipino spot. Two mains and two scoops of rice for $20. The pork adobo and blood adobo were both excellent. We ordered two pork steamed buns. They are considerably sweeter than Chinese bao, but still very good. The service is swift. Order and pay at the counter while the meal is prepared. The dining room is nothing fancy - Wal-Mart chic. Functional and clean. read more

It was a pleasant surprise to see so many Filipino restaurants in Ketchikan when researching my trip there. When I arrived in town, I was feeling a little queasy so I was looking for a hot and comforting meal. I decided to try Meng & Ging's as it was close to my hotel near the Ketchikan waterfront. The interior of the restaurant is very casual and homely. You order at the counter and food is delivered to your table if you are dining in. I looked under the soup menu and tried the beef goto which was a good choice. It is a Filipino version of congee with beef tripe in it. Just what I was looking for to sooth my stomach and warm me up as it was a bit chilly. If you are looking for Asian food or an alternative to the many seafood restaurants in town, I would recommend this spot. read more

Great food, great service, great people! Get Joseph's sisig burrito, it's sooo good! The first time I tried it my husband got it and I finished it for him. Ooops! A few days later I had to get my own. read more

We only went in to order their dessert. Staff was friendly. Place was a little too hot like you were in a sauna. Dessert was ok, it wasn't something amazing since it was only halo halo read more

We only had an hour to explore Ketchikan before our cruise tour, so we wandered around a bit and spotted a local Filipino restaurant. We love Filipino food, so of course we had to try it. We ordered the lumpia, pork asado, and cassava cake. We're really familiar with lumpia, so that was the first thing we dug into. It wasn't what I was used to, and was loaded with veggies, and the sauce was different too. It was a soy based sauce instead of the usual sweet chili. We tried to get the BBQ pork sticks, but it was too early. Total bummer. The employees were helpful, and fairly friendly, and it was a fun spot while in port. They had plenty of seating and a restroom (for customers). Even with the differences, it was a still a nice treat. read more

We've stopped at this little local spot a few times now as we sail to Ketchikan during our summer Alaska cruise. We always try to find the little local spots and this one did not disappoint! It was a very happening little joint. You could tell a lot of locals and a lot of the crew from the ships stopped here which is always a good sign, knowing that it's good, traditional home cooking. We of course started our meal with some lumpia, had the kare-kare, and broccoli beef. Flavor was amazing and the food was hot and served quickly. It's a small little place so there's not a ton of seating, but we were able to snag a table in the corner. We would definitely recommend you try this great Filipino spot! read more

I happened to find this restaurant through recommendations amongst staff from the cruise ship! I was feeling a lot of motion sickness from the rocking of the cruise ship so I summoned the rest of my strength to mosey down to this restaurant and ordered some wonton soup. I asked for extra ginger to help myself feel better and this wonton soup literally brought me back to life. I order a second one portion because it was that amazing; with every sip and bite of wonton I felt all that much better. The two ladies running the shop were extremely sweet and very nice. It's a cozy little restaurant with little snacks for sale and was quite busy with people zipping in and out. Truly one of my most memorable stops and finds on this amazing NCL cruise. read more

Imagine being on a trip far from home and finding a familiar dining establishment which serves the food of your family gatherings past only to encounter the type of service you would expect from a state prison. If you place a simple order here, eagerly wait for 30 mins, then try to follow up on the status, don't be surprised if you are met with a cold and dismissive "I don't have time to make that..." (if you managed to receive any measure of eye contact, consider yourself blessed). This is the statement of the owner by the way which even shocked the young lady who was running the counter. That said..., the food is okay but only come here if you have an itch for filipino food. The place really benefits the cruise ship crew members trying to grab a homecooked meal. The restaurant itself is cozy, has a nice spot between the dock and street, and a clean bathroom (for customers!) Maybe the service is better when the owners on vacation. Tourists be warned. read more

Was craving Filipino food on this port stop and walked in to Meng & Ging's. Was behind another customer and we overheard that their noodles will take 15-20 minutes, so we opted to go for the siopao that looked ready to go along with an order of the halo-halo. We weren't pressed for time, by any means, but we wanted to do more exploring along the port. We heard several voices in the back, but there was only one server at the front. Could explain why our siopao took 15 minutes before they were served to our table. Can't say anything for the turo-turo dishes, but the siopao was a change from the food we've been getting on our ship. Nothing to write home about. By the time we finished the siopao, the line was getting long and place was definitely getting busy (mostly ship crew). We noticed customers were getting their orders, but the couple before us still didn't get their pancit and our halo-halo was still missing. They went up to the counter and we saw they were helped with their missing item. We then asked about our halo-halo to which the Filipino woman that was now helping the cashier dismissively said, "I don't have time to make that right now." No apologies, no eye contact, just a rude brushing off. ... We were refunded, but there's a bare minimum for service in the restaurant business, and this place obviously cares very little in that aspect. Cruise ship staff will continue to come to Filipino places like these for a taste of home during the course of their months-long contract. For us, we can certainly do without this visit. read more

One of the most honest, authentic eating experiences you'll find near the cruise ship terminal. Our Filipino crew all seemed eager to visit in their off-time. So we had to give it a try, and it didn't disappoint. As good/better than many Filipino restaurants in larger, more populated cities. Longanisa and bbq pork skewers are the easy choice for Filipino food newbies. The sweet/savory thing paired with rice makes for a tasty, filling meal. You can't go wrong ordering it at most Filipino places and this one is no exception. The garlic and ginger came through well in the arroz caldo. Chicken was tender, falling off the bone. Pork in the dinuguan was very tender, and the dish was pleasantly sour, not overly so. The bangus sinigang had okra in it, not something I was used to. But the texture held up and pleasantly absorbed the broth. Loved the whole dish. If you're not accustomed to bangus, be warned: this fish has thin, sharp bones that you'll need to pick out as you eat. Halo-halo took a while to prepare - and we understood why after it came out. Was loaded with ube, beans, jelly, ice cream, flan, etc. Was more than enough for our family of 4 to share. The puto was okay - reminded me of a moist madeleine. This variation was okay but was really hoping for the other variation I'm more familiar with: a little more white, slightly sour, less sweet, no cheese. read more

This was our first port stop during our Alaskan cruise. I have heard that Alaska does have a decent filipino population so I just had to give it a try. Small place but in a great location. Great water views. They had some traditional snacks like shrimp chips. They also had a small but good selection of dishes such as pancit and dinuguan. We didn't want to eat too much but wanted to try. Had to pork siopao and turon. No complaints. Folks were nice. 3 stars because I didn't get to try everything. But I'd stop here again. read more

Food: 7/10 We had the asado siopao and it was good. We also had the halo-halo and it was good but I wish they put more stuff in it other than ice and ube. Service: 6/10 We were behind a couple of people that were not familiar with Filipino food so they were asking a lot of questions, the people working behind the counter sounded irritated having to explain the dishes. Maybe they were overwhelmed with the growing line but I felt bad for the ones that really just wanted to know what they were about to eat. Ambiance: 6/10 The space is not that large and only has a couple of tables. The line to order quickly reached the front door. But thankfully the place did not have that greasy food smell so that was a plus. read more

We were pleasantly surprised to come across a Filipino restaurant. Conveniently located along the marina dock the display of the Philippine national flag caught my attention. The place was very busy with tourist and crew members from the cruise ships. The staff were all very efficient and friendly. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating. Although the place was crowed the food was served fairly quick. We enjoyed the dishes, except for the Kare Kare (the flavor and appearance wasnt like what we are accustomed to). Sorry no pictures read more

Walking around during a rainy day in Ketchikan I decided to stop by here for some warm food. It's a quaint mom and pop shop with a variety of Filipino options to choose from. I decided on trying their shanghai lumpia. I was unaware that 3 come in an order and got 3 lol. They came out hot, delicious and crisp. It also came with a side of sweet and sour sauce. They had counter service and they were polite. Their menu has has caldo, dumplings, and bao buns. It's a great stop if you're in the area for a nice warm meal. read more

This is traditional Filipino food. The classic dishes are available. A bit different than I get at home, but still very good. One of the more unique eateries in Ketchikan, and a good choice. Adobo will appeal to American palates, if you're unsure what to order. But you can't go wrong with almost anything on their menu. read more

Loved their barbecue it was flavorful and tender. My daughter (who always searched for dinuguan) said it was good. Rachel was very nice. If I ever end up in Ketchikan again, I know where to go for comfort food. read more

Typical Filino turo turo style food place. Small, and not a whole lot of selection. We ordered a variety of food to try but none was impressive. And with that quality of food, it just seems overpriced. Service wasn't great either. We stood there as they kept asking each other what has been delivered. No system. Maybe they're new and still learning and I hope they do get better. The place was casual and clean. read more

Poor attitude and service. Pretty bad for a place that depends on tourist. Definitely not owned and operated by a local

This was our last cruise port stop on Sunday. After an hour and a half hike, my sister and I were roaming around for a bite and the aroma (coming thru the closed door) drew me in. This review is more so for the guy who was taking orders -- you were so nice! I should have asked your name to personally thank you for your kindness. While it was a wait for our order, it was totally worth it. The next counter has ready-to-go options if you're in a hurry but I'm glad I waited for my chicken pancit, lumpia, and fried rice. There's a bench outside a back door that has a nice view. We were watching moon jellies as we stuffed our faces. I got back in line for a BOMB mango popsicle and the guy at the front was kind enough to bring one out so I didn't have to wait again. I'd fly back from LA right now for this customer service again. Must try! read more

The food here is good, if you are looking for authentic filipino food in Alaska. I was able to order the diniguan and Palabok.

So we tried their food at the Blueberry festival and were a little disheartened to find their vegetarian lumpia and pancit included meat(just not the same amount as the regular lumpia). However, my sister and I visited the restaurant and granny rehabbed our little pescatarian hearts. We ordered the shrimp with garlic fried rice, and a veggie pho. Everything was made to order, and the cashier let us know they were based off her grandmas recipes. And grandma was right there prepping our orders, checking over everything. Pho broth is usually hit or miss for me. This one was hearty and made me feel like I was eating a home cooked meal. I wish there were more veggies but was content with the broth I really didn't mind. Good portion size. The shrimp... was so well cooked. First bites are everything, and my sister and I were both nodding our heads in sync. Seasoned perfectly and paired nicely with the garlic rice). Nice size with leftovers. Ask for sauces, they have so many well made ones! We had to thank grandma for the food and she was so bashful with the praise. It was such an intimate experience, and I would go again. read more

I feel like this is a bit of a hole in the wall spot, it's family owned and operated if I'm not mistaken. The view is great (when there's not a cruise ship docked there) and the food is fantastic. Mary is an absolute joy and the food rivals any other Filipino food I've had. I would 100% recommend this place to any lumpia lovers. read more

De-freaking-licious! Authentic Filipino food that hits the spot every time! Their pho is a large portion and I love being able to adjust the heat factor with the toppings on the side. The pancit tastes just like my friend's grandmothers. Subtle chicken flavor that compliments the entree. Oh and the lumpia! Way better than a regular egg roll. Must try if you haven't. Cannot wait to visit and eat there again. read more

This spot gives you a ton for your plate. The meal menu lets you hit all of what they offer from the pancit, lumpia and main entree. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.
