    Thanks for the awesome catering experience and so delicious food. A very successful Birthday celebration.

    Great food! Clean restaurant, home made authentic filipino food. Makes you feel like you're back in the Philippines.

    Chicken adobo, pork adobo, and pancit noodles.

    Pacific Island Kitchen rocks my socks. It's part cafeteria serving Filipino food, part market selling Filipino groceries, and all delicious. There's no menu to order from. Instead, you walk up to a counter that looks like something you'd find at Chipotle or Luby's. You go down the line pointing at what you want and then you pay. There's a small seating area--perhaps about four or five tables max. It's usually not busy at any particular time, so finding a spot to eat is rather easy. I've primarily only had the pork adobo, chicken adobo, and pancit noodles as I'm not brave enough for the fish yet (nor would I know how to eat the fish in the way it's prepared--I'll get there some day!). What I've had to-date is tasty--and I end up leaving my plate completely empty. The market is also awesome. Before or after you eat, you can browse a laundry list of Filipino groceries. Prawn chips? Check. Banana sauce? Double check. Skyflakes? Yup. And all other sorts of interesting food you won't find at the major grocery stores in the area. In all, this is one of my favorite places to dine at whenever I'm in town. Will definitely continue to go here.

    Part Filipino minimart and part mini Filipino cafeteria is this business. This review deals with only the cafeteria side of the business. For $8, one can get a combo plate of one starch and two meats/veggies sides. For starch, the choices are white rice or pancit. The meat/veggie choices varies daily. On our visit, we went with the pancit/bitter melon with chicken/pork adobo combo. The pancit was very good, better than some of the Filipino eateries in Houston. The other two choices were average. The owner and his sole employee were very friendly. We gave four stars for the friendly folks, acceptable price, and decent Filipino foods. Anyway, this is the only game in town. There is no other Filipino eatery in Harlingen.

    This was the plate I ordered, kare kare, lumpia, and white rice. Masarap!!

    There are little to no Filipino places here in the valley and if you want to try some good food come here.

    Wow! Super fresh, healthy, and full of flavor! It was so nice to finally have something different…read morefrom the usual Mexican food around here. I was born in Georgia (the country), and I've really missed food with a variety of spices and bold flavors. This meal reminded me of how comforting and exciting good food can be. The baba ghanouj had just the right amount of spice. Warm, balanced, and incredibly flavorful. The tabbouleh was so fresh and refreshing that I'm already trying to figure out how to recreate it at home. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, exactly how I like it: packed with flavor. The hummus was simply divine. The best hummus I've ever had. Paired with the soft, fresh pita, every bite was perfect. The garlic sauce instantly brought me back to my childhood. Some flavors have a way of unlocking memories, and this was one of them. And the tea was the perfect ending. It was exactly how I love my tea: soothing, aromatic, and just the right amount of sweetness. Thank you so much for such an incredible meal. Every dish felt like it was made with care, and every bite had its own story to tell. I'll definitely be visiting the restaurant and store soon. This is exactly my kind of food, and I can't wait to eat again!
