Lumpia
Brian R.

This place will 1000% catch you by surprise! I love Filipino food and Lumpia is an anchor to that. We ordered ahead for the proven take with rolls. Super exciting to know we have them at home whenever we're ready for them! We also got fresh ones to go home with. The flavor was great, and the wraps were light and flakey. We signed up for a rewards card because we were won over by the product and the staff. As I said this building is nothing to look at, and they're only open two days a week, but I can't argue that what they produce is hard to beat! The very definition of not judging a book by its cover.

We found this place from TikTok.  We were visiting Tacoma for the weekend and figured it was worth checking out.  It's a small place that can be easily missed     When we arrived, we learned this place was drive-thru only.   Not only that, not all items on the menu are available.  On Tuesdays, they post on their website what they will have for sale for the week.  At that point, you can pre-order and schedule to pick up on Friday or Saturday.  Of course, we didn't know this, but at least we had a small variety of 4 to choose from.      I ordered them to cook the lumpias and waited about 15 minutes.  I walked to the drive-thru window.  While waiting, we could see regulars going through drive-thru.  Other first timers had placed their order online, and it was their first time going there.  Like us, they parked and walked to the front asking where to go to pick up.      I talked to the owner for a little bit, and he told me that they opened in 2011.  They became a drive thru during covid and kept it that way since.       I ordered: 1.  Angel's original:  I thought this was a weird mix than I'm traditionally used to.   It tastes pretty good.   It's a twist on the  vegetable lumpia I'm used to.  I liked that it was meaty. 2.  Taco mix:   I'm not going to lie. This one kind of scared me too, lol.   The owner told me it was like a taco just wrapped up.  When I took a bite, it reminded me of the frozen red bean burrito I used to buy as a kid.   I didn't see the refried beans, but I did see the meat with each bite.            The items we tried were a hit.  Now I know next time to pre-order.  I got lucky we arrived a day early.  We were able to come on Friday, and they had items still available.   I looked on the website today, and they only had teriyaki (ground chicken).  Which is funny because they didn't have that yesterday.  In any case, that's the only one to choose from today.  So if you decide to go here, please pre-order.  You'll thank me later

Northwest Lumpia is a little spot amongst older industrial buildings and warehouses. I always pass by but it's always closed due to the short hours Friday/saturday 11-2. Today was my lucky day and saw an open sign! Usually I make lumpia at home for my family to enjoy, but I wanted to try this place out and support a local business~ The owner at the window was friendly and informative. I decided to order the original pack and fry at home. You have the choice to order hot and fresh there but will have to wait about 15min, order a frozen pack and zoom on home to fry it up! It was $14 and some change for the pack and I was eager to try!! When you've had lumpia all your life there's just something about it being home made that is comforting and the taste is always good! Today's taste left me a little mixed honestly. While the owner is so nice, the lumpia was not very good. If you've never had lumpia, there's nothing to compare it to and you may like this indeed. The original lumpia tasted somewhat sour and bitter? There is little chunks of carrot, peas, beef and what looks to be like shredded hashbrown potatoes that were a bit crunchy/undercooked. There's a sour taste to it but not vinegary, sour as in spoiled taste. The sauces were mmm not so good. One is a vinegary sauce and the other a sweet sauce almost similar to teriyaki...but they both had an underlining same flavor. Couldn't quite put my finger on it but it left a not so good taste in my mouth. I'm glad I got to try though~ salamat!

The combos!

Wow we have driven by several times and they were closed. Today is the day. We told the girl that this is our first time. So she explains everything in like speed talking.... lol. I just had to have her slow down lol!!! So we both had the number one (10 lumpias different flavors). Omg they are perfection in The crispiest wrap!! This is only open 11-2 Monday-fri! So try to catch them open if u love Phillipino food! Family owned for years. U can buy them frozen to go too. We are coming back for sure. Ya ya getting our stars built up! We came in right before 2 closing time and we weren't the only ones !! Everyone getting food togo! Yum love this place. And by the time we got home it was just edible!! It cooled off!!

Found this place at the last minute! Needed to bring a dish to a holiday party and what better Filipino food dish to bring than lumpia? Upon arrival, it seemed like the most random spot to have a food venue in its location. There's no other restaurants in the area and it's mostly industrial buildings. We opted for the cooked lumpia which was a dozen per pack. We bought two packs; one beef and one pork flavor. Both came with a dipping sauce and we were very impressed. Very tasteful, cooked just right, and the sauce was a great complement to the lumpia. The gentleman at the drive through window was very nice and welcoming. We will be sure to stop by again when we're feeling that lumpia craving. Like

First time here. Heard about them in the news and online. Sketchy area but the owner was very welcoming and informative. Order ahead of you can to save time. Adobo lumpia was sooooo good! Would have ordered more if they were open later or open on Sundays. Will def be back!

All the lumpia...

Thank you Yelpers for leading me to this wonderful place and these lovely people. We were on our way from the airport to Portland and found this place in Tacoma on our way through. We were looking for something good (of course), but different and new. This checked all of the boxes and then some! The food is great, but Chuck and Becca are fantastic. They are a husband and wife duo, who choose to do this as their retirement (lucky for all of us)! Chuck is a retired veteran and Becca a former nurse. Together, they will brighten your day and fill your tummy. It rounds out the whole experience. It is a cozy place with only a few tables. Lumpia are super portable though, and they package them so you can move and share (or not). There were quite a few faithful fans picking some up for lunch. While we sat there and ate, a young woman came in with her parents. She was happy to announce that although she was getting a refer a friend star for their rewards program, she was the one doing her parents a favor by introducing them to this wonderful place. I had never had lumpia before, so this was a first. The owner described it best. They are the Filipino version of the egg roll. They make them fresh and they love to experiment with the filling that goes inside. They come out tantalizingly crispy and hot. Despite the fact you know it is a bad idea, your mouth overrules you and takes a bite despite risking molten mouth (totally worth it). If you are with others, I highly suggest getting a combo 1 so you can try a variety of flavors. They are delicious!! I also recommend getting the banana for dessert. The food comes out pretty fast too, so I can see why it is also ideal for lunch breaks. They also sell frozen lumpia to take home! If they ever decide to start shipping, I will be the first in line! :)

What a hidden gem! This small mom and pop shop specializes in fusion lumpia. You can get a dozen for $10 and they have awesome flavors like adobo mix, sweet and sour and even brown sugared banana. There are two combos (12 for $10 or $4.50 for lumpias and a drink). You can also buy the lumpia individually for $1 + tax. You can take it to go or eat it in their shop. It's a pretty no frills experience. The staff is super nice, but the only downside is that they're only open from 11-2pm M-F! Wish they were open on the weekends too. Lastly, they also sell frozen lumpia for the dozens for $10 a pop. Get your lumpia fix here!

Their lumpia is the best, especially the bananas! I would highly recommend them but make sure you preorder.

Environment: I used to come here all the time. On my last…read morevisit, I saw a massive leap forward in their quality, food, and service, and I was genuinely thrilled for them--it became my go-to spot for a long time. So I was really disappointed to walk away empty-handed this time... The ambiance remains as good as ever, featuring updated signage, fresh branded visuals, and clean, well-maintained self-serve counters that show very efficient management. Service: We arrived around 1:00 PM and there was only one server on duty. After walking in, we had to wait a short while before being greeted, though the overall service itself was still quite good. Flavor: First off, many of their previous staple dishes are gone. There were only four types of beef available, and they all looked pretty much identical... Many offal items, like tripe, have completely disappeared. The reason traditional Sichuan hot pot relies on heavy oil and high spice is, to an extent, to mask the strong gamey notes of offal. But with the limited selection available now, the offal's raw taste remains even after boiling. On top of that, the beef completely fell apart in the pot. If quality control is lacking at this level, even switching to an all-you-can-eat model won't turn things around.

I could not hear my family over a 4 person table, coz it doubles as a bar upstairs. But its clean, and decorated well. There's just enough seating for people to come have food. BTW, parking is shared w a market, there was barely any parking when I got there. The parking is also a little narrow, especially when people dont park correctly. Service: very good. They were quick and friendly. No complaints. Food: love the food here. I had the quail fried rice thay came with salad and a side of the pho broth. Broth is flavorful, so Im sure the pho is good. The quail was also marinated nicely, with a tomato based fried rice which was not oily, and just the right amount of flavor. We also ordered two orders of spring rolls, which was more than we thought! One order is the one plate of 2 spring rolls cut in half - so four pieces. Pleasant surprise i suppose, more spring rolls!

Perfect spot for Vietnamese street food and late-night cravings, but a nightmare of a parking lot…read more My family was visiting from California last month, and naturally we needed to find somewhere to feed our party of 6 after our Seattle tourist trip. We arrived around 9 PM on a Thursday; I picked this restaurant because we were all craving Vietnamese food, and thankfully La Cà Bar is open late enough that we were still able to spend time eating together over a yummy meal. We sat downstairs since we were there primarily for the food and wanted to actually sit down and eat together. It was pretty empty when we arrived aside from one table, and we were able to seat ourselves wherever we wanted. They close at midnight, so arriving around 9 PM still gave us plenty of time to order, eat, and enjoy ourselves without feeling rushed. And then we proceeded to order an unreasonable amount of food. Everything we tried was delicious. The spring rolls were definitely superb (especially when dipped in the sauce), and I highly recommend getting a few for the table because apparently my family and I devoured them ASAP while waiting for our main course. I had to get the Bánh Xèo, because I have absolutely no self-control when I see it on a menu. The crepe was savory, filling, and delicious. Since it was cold that night, I also ordered Bún Bò Huế, because apparently being cold means I need to consume an entire bowl of spicy soup. I personally missed the classic cubes of pork blood that I usually expect in Bún Bò Huế, but it was still flavorful and satisfying without them. I also noticed the food here leans more toward Northern Vietnamese-style cuisine, but everything we had was still really tasty. I somehow managed to finish most of my food despite ordering enough to feed a second family. My family enjoyed their meals too. My son got a bánh mì without the garnish and was impressed by how huge and satisfying it was. Teenagers can be difficult to impress, so when the teenager says the bánh mì is huge and good, I listen. Our server was also really nice and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. Now, parking... Oh, sweet Jesus. The parking lot is TIGHT. The surrounding streets aren't particularly spacious either. If you have an SUV like myself, or anything larger, prepare yourself. I was genuinely relieved when I got back into my car and discovered that my vehicle had survived the evening without acquiring any new battle scars. But honestly? Worth it. The best part for me was how nostalgic the food felt. Vietnam is the country where I was born, so getting to sit down with my family and eat Vietnamese street food that reminded me of home was really special. We live far from where I grew up, so finding food that brings back even a little bit of that familiarity means a lot. And after moving away, I really appreciate those little moments where a meal can transport you somewhere for a couple of hours. So yes, 5 stars. Great late-night option, delicious food, friendly service, generous portions, and a menu that scratched the Vietnamese food itch perfectly.

Our waiter didn't even introduce themselves and it took us 30 minutes to get water after asking. Our drinks came out all at separate times, I had to remind him for my mom's prebiotic soda, which he served in the can, no glass and didn't open it. Our meals all came out at different times as well. Overall no one had a sense of urgency, no one seemed to prioritize a good dining experience, and it was so disappointing because again the food and ambience was there. Please set a standard for your staff and either provide additional training or find people who thrive in customer service.

I'm glad that I did decide to come in for what is one of the best meals I've had in a very long time. I arrived alone at around 1:00 PM. The dining area was about half full and the server had me seated fairly quickly. The server was polite and welcoming and got my order in fairly quickly as well. The menu had plenty of options but was not overloaded to where I needed to review it a few times over to make my decision for what I wanted to eat and drink. My drink only took a couple of minutes to prepare and my meal was prepared about 10 minutes. The food was flavorful and not overly spicy. The portions were plentiful making the price point a great value. My experience at this restaurant was so good that I recommended it to a friend. My friend decided that he wanted to try the restaurant a couple of hours after I had my meal. I came back because I was excited to see what his reaction would and he was as pleased as I was!
