Finally got to try this place! I was expecting small portions, but if you get the Filipino plates it's a lot of food. I couldn't even finish it. The presentation of the food is so pretty and the interior of the place is also really nice. They tend to run out of things, so be flexible and have back up choices in case what you want is sold out. We didn't get any, but the halo halo I saw a group get looked fire. We will definitely be coming back to try other things and telling all our friends :) read more

My daughter raved about this place. She's a student at the college and said we would like this place. It's Danish and Filipino fusion. Quaint little restaurant that looks like a coffee shop when you walk in but it's much more than that! When we got there before 1pm, the place was packed! And there was no line but it started to build when we placed our order. They have cafe drinks, breakfast pastries, croffles, sandwiches, and breakfast and lunch plates. It's quite a variety of menu items such as Danish hotdogs and Danish meatballs to Filipino pork dishes (longanisa, sisig, bbq skewers). Check the chalkboard for specials. Everything sounds delicious and all beautifully plated. Large servings too! But be warned, once they're out, they're out! Sadly, when we placed and paid for our order, we found out that they were out of anything "pork belly." Luckily, the line was short so we changed our crispy kare kare and sisig dishes to something else. We ordered: Dubai Pistachio Iced Latte - Yummy!!! They have alternative milks. Danish Hot Dog - Tasty and the toppings must be Danish with homemade remoulade and red cabbage. Wagyu Japdog - Fascinating and interesting but delicious! The dog itself as good but the toppings raise the bar! Bonito flakes and whatever sauce they put on it. Must try! Danish Meatballs - savory and full of flavor! It wasn't at all what I was expecting with baby potatoes and tomatoes. It was fab! Pork Skewers BBQ - well done! Excellent marinade on the pork. The garlic rice is very good! Love the fried egg on top. Thanks for the vinegar and pickled veggies on the side. Pork Longanisa - amazing flavor! Again, perfection with the garlic rice, fried egg, vinegar and pickled veggies. Bulalo Ramen with Bone Marrow - broth has so much flavor! It was served with garlic rice but I was hoping that it came with noodles instead since it says "Ramen." Not sure if it was because I didn't specify or if the person at the counter didn't ask. Overall, delicious bowl of comfort and that bone marrow was like butter!! Service was very slow. Ordering was fast but it took a while for the food to come out. There were 4 in our party and each of our dishes came out one at a time. We couldn't wait for each other because then the food would be cold. The owner was apologetic and so sweet. It sounds like in-house customers are competing with to-go customers or customers who preorder and reserve pork belly plates. read more

The food and Cashier and ambiance get a 5. Food is very tasty and you can tell great quality. Price is very reasonable. The inside is quite cozy and relaxing Management/Ownership gets a 3. My drink took longer to make than a cooked dish to be made and then eaten because the front counter is by themselves and is stuck taking orders prepping things and apparently making the drinks which aren't basic at all. read more

If you haven't tried Danish-Filipino fusion yet, head to Nordic Bites on Pacific Ave. They've managed to bridge the gap between Scandinavia and Southeast Asia with a menu featuring everything from Smørrebrød to their version of silog-style breakfasts. We tried: * Pork Longanisa: The perfect balance of sweet and savory. * Pork Belly: Great texture with a perfectly rendered fat-to-meat ratio. Both plates come loaded with garlic fried rice and a jammy sunny-side-up egg. What sets them apart is the fresh "Nordic" side: cherry tomatoes, cucumber, pickled red onions, crispy shallots and a unique tzatziki garlic that brings it all together. The portions are generous (definitely shareable for a light brunch). The atmosphere is relaxed, quiet, and clean. Huge shoutout to the staff--they were incredibly welcoming, which always makes a meal taste better. Whether you're dining in, grabbing to-go, or looking for a unique caterer, this spot is a Stockton must-try! read more

I had to do some food research since we were stopping by Stockton on our way to Groveland. Every restaurant I saw bored me until I looked at the menu here. Danish food? ok, never had it but also was never interested in looking for it; but wait, filipino food too? ook, that is a pretty weird & interesting combination. I'm in! The restaurant itself is pretty cute and cozy. There's an extra room in the back that has more comfortable chairs. It was never busy the 2 times that we came and the employees there were so nice & welcoming. The lady in line behind us was so confused about the pricing (but in a good way!). Not saying it was super cheap, but definitely lower than expected for what you're getting and in this economy. As for the food... DELICIOUS! My favorites were the filipino dishes (longanisa and beef bistek) which were served all fancy-like. The crispy shallots in the fried rice was *chef's kiss. My family also really enjoyed the roast beef brioche sandwich and the potato/bacon appetizer. Their specialty drinks are also tasty (recommend the ube chai and dubai chai pistachio). Loved this place so much that we had to come back on our way home from our trip. Definitely recommend! read more

I've been wanting to try Nordic Bites for so long and it did not disappoint. The service was great--friendly and attentive. The dishes I tried were overall simple, but presented beautifully and made with super fresh and quality ingredients. I ordered the smoked salmon open-face sandwich, which was very fresh and tasty. I wasn't a huge fan of the dark brown bread personally, but that's more of a preference than a flaw. I also got the avocado, egg, and bacon croffle. The croffle itself was soft, warm, and perfectly chewy, and they were very generous with the avocado, which I really appreciated. The ube chai was delicious, though a bit on the sweeter side for my taste. Overall, solid spot with great food and service. I'd definitely come back and am excited to try their Filipino dishes next time. read more

This place has a lot going on with the menu. There are a lot of food options to include deserts and drinks. The food was very delicious but its a bit messy trying to eat that open face sandwich. Not a bad thing, just something to note. I really enjoyed their twist on Nordic recipes, it was different and pleasant all at once. read more

Wanted to give it a try after seeing the stuff trending on social media. Everything I tried was amazing. Ordered a variety of filipino breakfast. All came with Garlic Fried Rice with an Over Easy/Medium Fried Egg. Bistek, Longanisa, Tocino, and Pork Belly. Their Bistek, Tocino and Pork Belly were all so good (I didn't try the Longanisa... but my friend said it was delicious. Oooooohhh and the desserts. Got to try the Ube cake balls, Dubai Chocolate cake (my friend tried the Dubai Chocolate Donut and said it was awesome) and took a little bite of the Mango Crème Cake, and ordered the Ube Cake Roll.

The reviews and pictures made the place look good but I was not impressed one bit. I was well aware it was danish- filipino fusion. Personally I don't taste any Filipino in these dishes. I am Filipino and had many authentic Filipino food all my life. While we were waiting on our food the table right next to us just got their food and did not look happy. This older lady said in tagalog walang lasa which means like no flavor/ taste. So I was alr worried about my food. I got the bistek and my boyfriend got the pork belly. When they both came out it just looked like a pile of salad. Both dishes came with garlic rice. It had no actual garlic bits inside just garlic like flakes. My bistek was dry and the meat tasted sweet kinda like a Korean bbq style. The pork belly was also sweet. read more

The service is excellent, so far, the food is overall pretty good, but could make adjustments like saying corned beef hash instead of corned beef, or make it corned beef, which is what I was expecting. Also, the spam UFO would be better if the spam was fried first. The smashed potatoes and lechon are good and the Filipino breakfast with Longanisa is pretty good as well. My favorite coffee is a decaf iced Nordic cardamom with oat milk and orange zest! A flavor all their own and unique to only this place! I love it! I also enjoyed the Dubai donut. I am definitely going to be back to try more items! It's cute and cozy inside and they are really friendly. Please support them! There is no other place around like this place! read more

Upon walking in I really enjoyed the calm vibe. The music, decor, and water fountain give a comforting atmosphere. I walked up the counter and I told the employee it was my first time there. She was very welcoming and gave me a brief introduction to the restaurant, the owner, and their menu. She was super knowledgeable on the menu and made some recommendations. I ordered the Filipino breakfast, which I was told it a newer addition to their menu. I also ordered an Ube chai. The Chai, delicious! If you're a Ube fan it's a must try. They also have Ube desserts, which I need to try next time. I was impressed with the presentation of my food. The bowl was a perfect combination of flavors. The pork and rice were perfectly salty, the pickled veggies were tangy and crunchy, the egg was perfectly cooked, it all came together so well. They have so many menu options and I can't wait to go back and try more. I wish this business much success! read more

This is an amazing little restaurant! It was a totally chance stop during the week when we were just looking for somewhere to have lunch; I'm so glad we decided to try something new because we've been back three times just since the first day we went lol. My husband, daughter and mother have gotten something different each time a; there breakfast UFOs are absolutely fantastic and their sandwiches on the brioche buns are amazing but my absolute favorite are the Christine's... They have a special for three for 15 and I will eat those as an entire meal. The salmon ones are so so good. Not a single complaint from me lol except for the fact that I could eat three more ha ha. The service staff is absolutely amazing and so attentive. They know all about the shop and restaurant itself as well as the owner and chef who created it and are more than happy to share the story, which is really interesting. We did meet her the last time we were there. She makes everything and has a true gift. It's the perfect marriage of flavors and even though it's not a huge menu absolutely everything is so yummy. It's located downtown on the miracle Mile and the way the shop is decorated is absolutely adorable. It's a really welcoming environment, very comfortable and cute at the same time. I give these guys tremendous kudos for trying something different and sticking with it because they bring not only unique flavors but a unique environment and a lot of love to a diverse population. We will be back on a regular basis! Thank you so much again! read more

Tried this cute cafe-restaurant this week. Food: they serve good portions, can be shared by 2 people if not too hungry. ordered BISTEK-savory and saucy. Had a traditional pinoy bistek flavor but sauce is thicker. LONGGANISA-this was my favorite! Sweet and savory! Traditional pinoy longganisa taste. Filipino breakfast plates are served with delicious fried rice. I would just eat the rice by itself! SMASH POTATO TRUFFLE-mid. Weak truffle flavor. But still taste good. MANGO CAKE-so good! Rich mango flavor. Beat served cold right out of the fridge! Drinks: ordered iced dubai chocolate chocolate pistachio and iced dalgona coffee. I prefer my coffee strong, their coffee was a bit too weak for my preference. Ambiance: chill, relaxed. Few tables indoor and outdoor. Staff: super nice and helpful Price: perfect price point. With their protein servings, i think they could have priced it higher. Will definitely visit again. Still so much on the menu to try! read more

All the hype is REAL. Nordic Bites is absolutely out of this world. The food is incredible--top-quality, thoughtfully prepared, and bursting with flavor. And the prices? So fair it honestly feels rare these days. You will not find better food at such reasonable prices. Sally, the cook, is one of the most beautiful souls you'll ever meet. Her talent truly shines through every dish, and you can feel the passion, experience, and education behind her cooking.

I found this spot very interesting cause I've never heard of Nordic Filipino fusion before. The young cashier girl gave me some recommendations and was super patient with me and nice. I ordered the ube latte and the pork belly plate. The ube drink was definitely the highlight to me which I finished before my food was even ready since it was so addicting. The pork belly had great texture with a crispy crunch to it. The plate overall had great flavor especially with the sauce. Just I think the fried rice could have used some more color and flavor but overall a solid dish. I'll have to try some other things on the menu next time. read more

Nordic Bites absolutely blew me away. From the moment I received my order, it was clear that the quality and presentation went far beyond my expectations.

Pros: -Fresh ingredients -A lot of different textures -Interesting flavors -The halibut was my favorite. I wish it was a little crispier -The pickled radish was delicious -The mango cream cake was ok BUT only if you let it sit in the fridge for about a day. If the dessert was just put together a couple of minutes before you got it, the cake will be too dry and crumbly. Also, the mangos weren't that sweet and some of the pieces were too crunchy for my taste -The dalgona latte was decent for the price -Grand opening prices were fair. Unfortunately I don't think prices will stay the same -The sauce that came with the smashed potatoes was yummy Cons: -The smoked salmon was EXTREMELY salty and there was too much dill -The roasted beef was cut too thick for my liking. I was expecting thinly sliced beef. It could be because of the Nordic theme. Maybe they do a thicker cut, but for me it was a pass. The flavor was good though -The meatballs were not seasoned enough for me. It tasted meaty, but bland meaty -The smashed potatoes could've been smashed a bit more and crisped up. Also, I didn't taste much truffle oil flavor -The egg and shrimp sandwich needed more seasoning Will go back to try the ube cake, maybe another latte and their pork belly (if they ever have it in stock) read more

I want to give this new place a fair shot. We always complain in Stockton that there is hardly any new types of foods in town. So when I spotted Nordic Bites online and briefly perused their menu, I was momentarily transported back to my time visiting Iceland and all the delicious fresh fish delicacies I enjoyed there. I was excited to try this place (it had taken over the previous poppy coffee location near UOP), so it's a cute family owned business. Service was good and staff did their best to provide recommendations and explain the menu items. We did kind of a variety plate with different seafoods but most of them had a tart flavor profile. To be honest I'm a bit worried about the lifespan for this place since I don't know many people in town or whether the population's palate is inclined to Nordic foods in general-- I don't know ‍. Their Ube drink was fine-- nothing too special. I would say give this place a shot at least once please read more

It's rare that I become an instantaneous raving superfan of a restaurant, and it happened today. We were lucky enough to discover this place right after it opened (meaning I can say I knew how cool it was before everybody else did ), and I was just blown away with gustatory delight at the food. The sandwiches are absolute works of art and so delightful just to look at, aside from being the most delicious and flavorful tasting bits of artistry around. The owner does all the pickling and also smokes all the salmon herself! That homemade from scratch personal touch is so lacking in so many other establishments and I am beyond overjoyed to discover it here. The ube deconstructed cake was a purple cloud dream of fluffy heaven. And the lovely woman behind the counter said their mango one is even better which is a very high bar to reach but I can't wait to try it next time and see if she's right! Speaking of staff, they were lovely and so helpful in explaining and giving background to this amazing Nordic and Philippines inspired locale. I should also add they have vegetarian options and said they could accommodate that in various ways as well. And that they are planning on adding new and exciting things to the menu in days to come. I'm already planning what I want to get in my next visit. And the decor is really nice, green and serene. This place actually makes me proud to be in Stockton, which as any local can tell you is saying a lot! Edit: Went back and they have added some amazing menu items! The truffle smashed potatoes with crème fraiche aioli sauce are incredible and apparently selling like hotcakes to the Door Dash crowd. Who can even think of eating french fries after this exquisiteness? I want to firehouse that aioli on everything btw. I had the vegan/vegetarian option and it was gorgeous and had a nice tangy sauce that complemented the spread and I thought they did a wonderful job with that. The pickled radishes on the top were a nice touch and I loved the beets. And another brand new menu item, the egg and shrimp, was a knockout. And I understand the review from across the table of the roast beef was very delicious as well. read more
