We love Mums for the best authentic Filipino food in south Kitsap area! We just moved back to the area recently and are so happy to be able to order from Mum's again. They remembered us which made us smile. We always love to support small business owners, especially those that use quality ingredients with consistent results, authentic recipes, and also have a clean establishment. Scott helped us today with our to go order which consisted of two orders of pork adobo with two pieces of lumpia each, one order of Pancit Behon with vegetables and chicken. The adobo and Pancit each came with two scoops of rice each. The adobo is so flavorful and the meat is so tender and delicious. Our Filipino stepfather used to make pork adobo from scratch and wasn't willing to share his family recipe. One bite of Mum's pork adobo, and suddenly your eyes are closing, and you are making mmmm mmmmm mmmm sounds. The sauce is thick savory and comforting. The seasonings used in the pancit was absolutely perfect! We loved the ratio of vegetables and chicken. Lumpia is always a great choice with or without the accompanying sauce. Personally, we like dipping our lumpia in the adobo sauce. The orders were complete. Servings were large. We are looking forward to returning often. One of our other favorite items that we order from Mum's is beef calderetta, another solid comforting choice. Their fish and chips is also yummy and filling. They really take pride in the food they prepare and serve. So if you have a hankering for authentic filipino food, come to Mum's. You won't be disappointed!! read more

I love mums for its Filipino cuisine!!! If you go here for anything else other than the Filipino food, then you're only hurting yourself. I got the pork sisig and mmmm, so good, had bits and pieces of crunchy pork belly. The service is minimal and pretty straightforward. There's a lot to choose from so don't get overwhelmed! They are all good! Other than that, it's a pretty ok location, with big wide windows to sunbathe that pale skin and eat your food! overall 8/10. Pretty high in my books :) read more

My favorite Filipino restaurant. I always get the Pinakbet and Kare kare... lots of meat and vegetables and full of flavor!

This review is based on a to go order at the establishment. Food - 1. teriyaki & lumpia combo w/ friend rice. The chicken seemed like the portion got smaller, however when I got it before portion was a lot larger, so I see come inconsistencies with serving portion. The glaze is a bit sweet for my taste. The fried rice was tasty, nicely seasoned and some side of veggies completed the dish. The lumpia were so small- not sure if it was because it was the combo, but it was mini lumpia, but crispy and flavorful. 2. Lechon kiwali - crispy pork belly with side of small scoop of white rice. The portion side was decent, definitely nothing to write home about. The flavor was decent, but it was nicely crispy. The side of vinegar based with garlic complemented the pork. Service - since it was a Togo order, not much was observed however almost waited 40mins! If the serving sizes was decent or larger, then it might have been worth the wait, but sadly it was not. Overrall the food was decent and seasoned well, however between the pricing and serving size and the wait time, this place will not be my first choice. Although the workers were apologetic for the wait time and super nice folks, but unfortunately for a to go order that really doesn't matter. read more

We recently moved to the area from CA and were in need of Filipino comfort food. We found Mum's fish n chips in the Bremerton area. We love this place!! We've been here a couple times already. The pork sisig is soo good and crispy. The pork sinigang is great for the rainy days in WA. We also really love their halo-halo here. It tastes just like the ones you'd get back home in the Philippines. It has the perfect amount of ingredients and it's just perfect. The workers are also very welcoming and customer service is great! We'll definitely bring our visitors here to try! :) read more

Authentic Filipino food - had the combo pork adobo and lumpia and she had the pork sinigag. Both tasty - a tad slow not necessarily on service but follow up - think people wear multiple hats so several minutes where no employee visible. Would definitely come back for the Filipino fix. read more

GREAT Filipino food here! I've tried Filipino food at a few other places in Bremerton/Silverdale, and Mum's is the best, in my opinion. Their sinigang, adobo, pinakbet, and pancit were ALL so yummy, with all the right mix of flavors. Friendly service in a clean, bright little place. This will now be my go-to place for Filipino food! read more

Disclaimer: This review is only for the sisig and pakbet - which are the only things I ever come here for. Disregard this review if you want to know how their fish and chips or teriyaki are... heck if I know. It's pretty amusing how Kitsap County has 2 great Filipino eateries that are primarily referred to as "Fish 'n Chips and Teriyaki". Honestly if it wasn't for the word of mouth among the Kitsap Filipino community, I would have never known they served Filipino food here while driving by. I guess it's to attract the non-Filipino crowd? The four stars is literally for the sigig, which is the only thing I come here for. I can't speak for eating in either... my family only ever comes here for takeout for the sisig and pakbet. For a family of four, we go with 2 take out orders of sisig and an order of pakbet. There are a LOT of varieties of sisig - the original is made with the discarded parts of the pig fried up. Mum's is the more popular / modern version that's become trendy in the U.S. - it's chopped of bits of lechon kawali (basically deep fried pork belly) tossed with onions, jalapenos, garlic, and a splash of vinegar. The result is a very crispy, savory bits of pork belly with the other ingredients cooked with the excess fat. For me, a good sisig is crispy, not too fatty, and not too oily. Mum's sisig covers that. It's got a nice crispy texture from the skin and doesn't have a lot of fatty, gooey bits - big plus. Yet the meaty parts are still moist and flavorful. Don't freak out about the bits of jalapenos; it's not at all spicy due to everything else going on, if anything it gives a nice subtle kick to go with the vinegar flavor. The portion for a single order is huge and comes with a nice generous serving of rice. I'd recommend eating the sisig with rice - the oil given off by the sisig goes well with the neutral rice flavor. The other dish we get very often with the sisig is the parkbet. Pakbet is a vegetable/meat stew dish that uses fermented shrimp paste (bagaoong) as the base. While bagaoong is super salty and pungent in flavor, it actually works very well in this stew to give it a nice savory flavor. The odor may be a bit much (it's fermented shrimp after all) but for Filipinos it's a smell/flavor we crave. Mum's version is very good with lots of veggies (string beans, eggplant, kabocha, etc.) and a mix of meat. In our last serving we got a mix of shrimp and lechon kawali pieces, which is quite typical. I'd highly recommend pairing the sisig with the pakbet, as it makes for a nice protein / veggie combo with rice. My biggest complaint with the pakbet is the takeout logistics - the last 2 times we've ordered this as takeout the container always seems to leak liquid. Luckily they put it in it's own separate plastic bag... but god forbid if the parkbet sauce were to get on the car seat or elsewhere. It stains, and the smell can stick. For the price, portions, and quality... this is one of the better sisigs I've had between here and the Bay Area. Plus the price point is great - it's cheap, good, and plentiful for a single entree order. I've paid $15 for sisig that's a 1/4 the portion they give at Mum's and it wasn't even as good (screw you Attic in San Mateo, CA). I've carried this sisig on a place to San Jose and it still tasted really good after microwaving it. A lot of times sisig becomes soggy or mushy the day after unless you fry it. This? Just pop it in the microwave and it's still good. Anyways, if you ever need sisig for a party or are too lazy to cook lechon kawali just to turn it into this style of sisig... then come here. It's a very unassuming place with their sign... but this is my go-to place for sisig in Washington. Even the places in Seattle / King County don't hold up. read more

Food: The food was fresh and tasted great. My lumpia came out crispy on the outside and juicy. I also ordered chicken adobo and the meat was falling off the bone with very generous portions Service: The service was persistent but not annoying. I was welcomed in and checked up on several times without feeling like I was waiting on service. The server also accommodated our requests quickly and with a smile. Great family restaurant worth the visit! read more

Tried Mum's for the first time yesterday. Not bad. I ordered a plate of Fish and Chips, Chicken Teriyaki and half Dozen Lumpia. The lumpia was small but very tasty. Also I think it was cooked perfectly for the size. (I would definitely order again). The Fish and Chips: The portion is really small. It comes in the old school red & white checked French Fry box that you would see at Crazy Eric's. Not a lot of fries and small pieces of fish. Overall it was okay but the tarter sauce was not to my liking. The Chicken Teriyaki: The presentation on this is good. The plate is full and looks great! The chicken has a hint or bbq flavor which is nice and the rice was your typical clumpy white rice. The salad I passed on. I don't like when it comes with dressing already on it. The teriyaki sauce however was different. Not sure what to think about this one. At first taste, it is your average teriyaki sauce but then there is an after taste. Not quite sure what the flavor is but the more I ate it, the more I realized I don't like the after taste. I assume the sauce is homemade and maybe the mixer went a little heavy on an ingredient. But I could be totally wrong. Overall I would eat here again. It was really good for the price. FYI: Not the dine in type of place. There are boxes everywhere. read more

Hidden gem in Bremerton. The best Filipino food in town, friendly staff, excellent service and ambiance. Best kare kare and lumpia !

We had to go to Kaiser nearby to pick up some medication while on our vacation. Due to the rainy weather, we really wanted some soup. The nurse highly recommended this place for us when we were waiting and searching on Yelp for something to eat afterwards. She even called ahead to make sure they were open till 9 pm on a Sunday. So there we ended up and it did not disappoint! We started with lumpia Shanghai, then we had Kare Kare, Pampano Sinigang, Sisig Fried Rice, and Pancit Palabok. Everything was incredibly delicious and the service was top notch. The chef Mum even came out to greet us. Thank you for the down home cooking. It was a welcome treat after a busy and cold day! read more

Could not believe this piece of a good size metal in the food!!!!! WTF!!!! Please be careful!!!!!!

Was in the area and we decided to try this place. We ordered the fish and chips and the teriyaki combo with all rice. For the prices wasn't to bad. The fish and chip combo comes in a little red and white paper boat. Fish and chips were ok but rather small portion size IMO. The teriyaki chicken was okay, have had better in the area. The lumpia were pretty good but still not the best in the area. Will be back if we are in the area. read more

I placed a to go order from here. We ordered the sampler, chicken/beef teriyaki meal and pancit. The service was good.

The food was delicious. I had the pork sinigang- the soup was sour just as it should be. My husband had the pork adobo and he thought it was flavorful. The portions were good size. Will be going here again! read more

A pretty bad example of Filipino food with surprisingly good reviews. I was getting some work done in the area and popped in for food. I ordered two classics, Chicken Pancit and Turon. The Turon were good and I was surprised you got 4 entire lumpia in a single order. The Pancit was pretty bad all in all. There wasn't much chicken in the dish and it was packed with celery. So much celery that it may as well have been called a celery Pancit. The rice side was generous but as my mixtures show it was wildly over cooked. The entire scoop of rice was one solid mass which only happens in bulk cooks which sit around. Pass. read more

I think that the assortment of food that we have ordered in the past has been ok/good. We went there specifically to try Filipino food.

Probably the best Filipino food in the area. Customer service is always kind and friendly. Menu has a great selection of dishes. I frequent the Kare kare because I love oxtails. The Sisig is also freshly made and really good. I ordered a catered insert of Sisig for a work bbq and it was a big hit! The ONLY reason I don't give this place 5 stars is because of price which is a little bit high but understandable. However I feel that with every dish I've ordered to go, there was not enough rice to have with the entree. If they gave more rice, I would easily give them 5 stars. Highly recommended for your authentic Filipino needs. read more

Teriyaki chicken was old. Tasted like the refrigerator. Chicken was cold and somehow burnt. Below average for me.

I came here with my friend to get Filipino food, and it was pretty good! I ordered the mungo and my friend ordered the kare kare, both dishes were probably up to 4 people servings and tasted amazing! Will definitely come back to try the other dishes later on. read more

Mums (previously Lin's in fairgrounds) has been a staple in our family for years. I live in Seattle now, but whenever I'm home I try to get my Filipino comfort food fix here. Food tastes like a home cooked meal and you're treated like family here. Lin (the owner) is always in and more than likely the one taking your order. Ample seating and usually packed in the afternoon during lunch. If you haven't tried Filipino food before, this definitely the spot to check out. It's quick, delicious, and reasonably priced for how much you get--what more could you want? read more

We spent NYE 2022 in Bremerton (were from Hawaii!) and was craving homemade Filipino Shanghai and lumpia. Our usual spot was closed so we decided to give Mum's a try. We were impressed and found a new spot to order from now on! Freshly fried, crispy and very flavorful! The next time we're in town, we'll definitely try out other things on their menu. read more

Here's what you need to know about Mums: It is a community staple, a ton of followers and captured the loyalty of at least 3 generations of the community's patronage. The menu is somewhat diverse. They have their Teriyaki, Fish and Chips, Lumpia and various Filipino dishes. I've tried their Teriyaki, Lumpia, Sisig and their Adobo. So far, I find it pretty average and let me tell you why.. The Teriyaki is pretty straightforward. Its moist and cooked well but its the sauce that completes the ensemble. Unfortunately the sauce is a bit salty and too sweet - I'd recommend minor tweaking to get it right next time. The Fish and Chips, pretty standard again. Its not an O'brien or a Kings Head (LA, CA) but I had to try it since its on the name. I definitely wouldn't order again. The adobo, not my favorite. I've tried it in on of the platters served during an event and was told it was the best. It's not as flavorful as I'm used to and somewhat watered down. Perhaps it was due to the large serving that it was diluted but it won't be my go-to dish. Lumpia... here's my take on the Filipino Lumpia and a brief explanation on why I'm very finicky about this. Lumpia has several versions and are known by many names. It should have a good mix of cooked seasoned meat, vegetables and flakey crust. Never saturated in oil when served. Unfortunately, I got a skinny meat stick. I've had it in store and twice through catered. There wasn't much to even savor the taste of the meat. This is pretty consistent on several occasions and I feel that it falsely represents how a traditional lumpia should be. I'm no Lumpia expert but I know that Lumpia should have a generous serving in each roll, rolled neatly with pride and rested to allow the excess oils to drip. So its a hard pass on the Lumpia. Finally, the Sisig. THere's many ways you can mess this one up but this one, by far, delivers. The taste is familiar but not the ones I'm used to again. The texture, the presentation and the ingredients are pretty spot on and its something you'd bee-line to when you see it. This one is definitely something I'd come back to try again. Vegetable Side Dish... please do not overcook the vegetables and strain as much of the liquid as you can before you plate it. My plate ended up looking like a soupy teriyaki chicken. I still ate it, waited over 37 minutes from sitting to receiving my order. Over-all, the food rating is pretty split. It seems like the orders are served and made fresh.. which explains the long wait sometimes. The kitchen staff can sometimes get overwhelmed and the wait staff isn't as attentive as you would expect it to be. The ambiance lacks so much element for it to be inviting. I understand that the focus is the food but you still want customers eating in your restaurant. A little effort would be nice. So 3 stars for this joint.. Its almost a 2 but this review is a combination of multiple visits and encounters. its okay but I wouldn't go catch a ferry to kitsap just to have a bite to eat or take a later ferry. Maybe one day I'll get another chance and hopefully my opinion will change. read more

We ordered the KareKare with rice. The flavor of the karekare was fairly decent, nothing to complain about that part. However, the 2 stars is because 1 order was about $15 and it only had one piece of oxtail, and a good chunk was fat. The main problem was the rice wasn't cooked properly. It was still hard, and kinda feels like it was soaked for too long. For the price, I cannot give this my greatest opinion. read more

I love ordering the Pompano fried fish. It's my favorite!! Service is amazing and friendly.

Happy. good food delicious . People are friendly and waiting is not bad. I always go here to order Filipino . Foods .......;

Found an actual penny hiding inside of my teriyaki chicken, also the rice that came in the box was so old it had all come together as one mushy rice ball. I honestly can't be that surprised though because the place isn't that appealing to look at in the first place. How do you not notice a freaking penny inside the food you're cooking???????? read more

Reliable, affordable & polite staff that understand what curbside is. Chicken yakisoba & chicken fried rice are great and good portions too.

I had always been skeptical of this place due to it being a combo teriyaki/fish and chips joint... just seemed odd. But I was in the neighborhood and thought I'd give it a shot and it was great! Got chicken teriyaki with a side of lumpia. The dipping sauce for the lumpia was a bit odd, it had more red dye than a shot of grenadine and it had a texture like not quite set jello which made it hard to dip the lumpia in but other than that it was a great meal. read more
