First time trying and was definitely guided in the right direction by the staff. Got the chicken tocino which was excellent. Also tried the beef dish and you have to make sure to use the spiced cane vinegar that comes with it. It was a great addition actually to both meals. Food was pricier than I had expected but everything was made fresh to order. We were taking our food to go but point out for others that it is counter service only and there are no public bathrooms. If ever traveling through the area again, I'd definitely be back. read more

Out of many Filipino restaurants I would say this may be one of those that stick out! Very clean and straight forward food and menu. The Beef Mami was a very tasty. The broth that comes with it was great. The bok choy was cooked perfectly, and the noodles are soft as well. The beef was very tender and complements the contents of the dish. The BBQ chicken skewers were not that great. But still, the texture and char on the chicken was pretty good. I would recommend stopping here if you're in the area and want to try Filipino food. read more

Parilya is everywhere lately, and I'm loving every minute! It's a brick-and-mortar restaurant and food truck well known for its Filipino faire. I have yet to visit the restaurant, so this review is for the food truck. I first discovered the food truck at the Beachwood Truck Park (now closed). I then rediscovered the food truck during the World on Stage Concert at the Cleveland Cultural Gardens this weekend. Both memorable food experiences! Food: My order during the latest visit included Chicken Tocino ($17) and Ube Cheesecake Cookie ($5). I felt like the food was much tastier the second time around. Chicken Tocino included generous serving of meat and was perfectly marinated. The dish was so plentiful with egg, meat, rice, and marinated veggies. I ate with my eyes closed! Ube Cookie always satisfies my soul. It had a good amount of Ube, was sweet, and delicious. If I wasn't already very full, I'd go for seconds. Almost forgot, you get a buzzer/pager that rings when your food is ready. It's a great idea for large scale events and venues where the truck might be. Service: Everyone working the food truck was nice. Asked me about my meal, wished me a pleasant meal, and provided me with to go bag for my leftovers. Interactions were very warm and friendly. Find the food truck: Street Food Finder site will allow you to find their food truck locations. You can mostly find them at Lakewood Truck Park. By the way, cash is the preferred payment method. Credit cards are accepted. I look forward to visiting the restaurant and further exploring all the menu. I also want to see if the brick and mortar location also has cute palm vibes like the food truck. I'll certainly catch Parilya food truck around the town too! read more

Ok. I wanted to sit with this review for a bit before writing it out because it's been on my list for quite awhile and I was really excited to be in the area for a late lunch. When I was new to the city, I wanted to try the food truck but the restaurant was opening shortly after and I waited... then took awhile to get here! Anyway, the restaurant is located in a busy strip mall but parking seems plentiful. The inside is cute and clean but maybe a little confusing with drink and dessert fridges. Admittedly, I wasn't expecting counter service and was surprised that it wasn't a sit down restaurant. But, regardless the person who took my order was very friendly and helpful even if I was disoriented. I'm not an expert on Filipino food but I have had it a few times and I ordered something that was familiar- sisig. It's served on fries or rice and I chose the fries. I also thought I was ordering an ube brownie because that's how it's listed on the menu and I am an ube enthusiast always ready for a purple dessert. Unfortunately, my brownie was not ube. It was some sort of chocolate brick covered in chocolate icing and refrigerated into a cold chocolate lump. It doesn't sound good because it's not. My sisig was different from what I expected but still flavorful although I am still confused by the sauce. It's served on a huge amount of fries that almost felt excessive. And those fries were hot! Like stove hot, turned into molten lava in the fryer and still steaming 10 minutes into my meal! Honestly, I burnt my mouth and throat. So fresh fries- yay! Scalding hot... kind of a bummer. I don't know. My hopes were really high. And clearly dashed. I might go back and be more cautious when ordering but it ju felt like an uncomfortable food truck experience indoors. read more

Food was great, and the staff was friendly. The downside is the price, along with a 3% credit card fee. Overall, it's a good place.

Having not ever had a ton of Filipino food, I was anxious to give this place a try as it is very close to where I work. Came in on a weekday, to sit down and have a meal there. The menu looks extensive, and it appears (given the size of the kitchen prep area) that they do a fair amount of catering and/or food truck business...it is extensive! The format is fast-casual, and the folks working there were very eager and patient to share and explain the available dishes. I settled on a fan favorite, the chicken tocino. It is an overflowing plate of grilled marinated chicken (with a pineapple glaze) that comes with garlic fried rice, pickled veggies and then gets topped with a fried egg. Breaking open that unctuous runny egg over the top and combining all of the above pieces / parts into one bite was simply heavenly! So much food in the dish, it was hard to finish...but I did. ;-) Excited to get back and explore the menu a bit more deeply to see what other treasures I can uncover. So glad they are on the scene in Olmsted Falls! read more

Food truck was quite good. Flavors bring back memories of the Philippines. The Bbq chicken was very tender and juicy with a hint of smoke. The pickled veggies added a nice note to the flavors of each bite. The sisig was very tasty but a little oily. The fried egg is a very nice touch and complemented the meal and balanced the meat well. The service was friendly and fast. read more

This place definitely gets a 4.5 rating! They have their restaurant which I've never been to and a food truck. That said, I can't speak to the ambiance of this place, however, the service was very friendly! From the truck, I ordered the Chicken Tocino Rice Bowl, and it didn't disappoint. There are a variety of components that work really well together in this dish. The real stars of the show were the two desserts I ordered. Their Mango Peach Pie Rolls and Ube Cheesecake Cookie are absolutely fantastic! Both desserts are so different from any typical American desserts. I get tired of the same ole same ole when it comes to my sweets, so these treats were really exciting! read more

10/10 - This is hands down the best Filipino food in Cleveland! I drove 45 minutes because my friend and I were craving it, and it was absolutely worth it. We definitely over-ordered, but the portions are huge for the price. Between the two of us, we spent about $30 each, which is a great deal. The desserts are fantastic too! The staff was friendly and patient as we decided what to order. Since the food is made fresh, I'd recommend calling ahead if you're doing takeout and in a hurry. My favorites are the pancit noodles and lechon, but honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. If you're planning to dine in, just be aware there are only about four tables available. read more

This is some of the most genuine and flavorful Filipino food here in Ohio! Although it is a bit pricey, it was justified by the fact that everything is authentic and made to order. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful, and the donation shelf showed how much they love the surrounding community. This place is definitely a go-to if you're craving great Filipino food! read more

You can never go wrong with the chicken torino here. Juicy, tender, and big portions of chicken & garlic fried rice for the price ($16). During my recent visit, I also tried one of the specials they were offering - Jollibee-inspired spaghetti with fried chicken wings & gravy ($18). The spaghetti was covered in a delicious tomato sauce infused with banana ketchup & had lots of ground beef & some sausage. The fried chicken wings were cooked perfectly - crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and fantastic when drenched in the rich tasty gravy. Service - super friendly. We had a lot of leftover spaghetti sauce and didn't want it to go to waste, so we asked if they could give us a little bit of white rice to soak up the sauce and they were nice enough to give us a scoop on the house. Ambiance - primarily a takeout joint, but they do have a few tables for customers who want to eat inside the restaurant. No restrooms, but you can go to the nearby Drug Mart, which is a short walk away read more

Parilya - Spaghetti with fried chicken & chicken tocino - Food Trucks Near Me - Olmsted Falls, Ohio

In an unsuspecting plaza, find the most authentic Filipino food with biweekly specials, an array of snacks, and incredible fruit-inspired beverage options. By suggestion of my Filipino cousin, we ordered the chicken tocino: grilled chicken with a sweet pineapple marinade (similar in flavor to Korean bbq) served over their garlic rice with an over-easy egg and pickled veggies. For another range of flavors, we also ordered the pork sisig: chargrilled pork with sweet and spicy peppers, peppery, garlicky, and savory served with an over-easy egg. Let me tell you, they've mastered this egg business. I had to order their vegetable pancit, to see how it compared to my cousins and gotta say it couldn't compare but I'll be back for more of the rest. It is limited in seating inside with about 5 tables. The location is kept clean and everything is served in takeout containers-which you would be asking for anyway since portions are big and you'll be walking away with the best leftovers. I missed trying out any of their homemade desserts, but I'll be back for sure! Luckily, I'm dangerously close to Lakewood Truck Park and look forward to catching them in their original truck read more

Cashier was very friendly. They have a couple tables inside to eat but ordered takeout. Came on a Wednesday around 7pm and they were sold out of a couple things, popular spot!the food took 15 minutes to prepare so very quick. The kitchen is open so you can see them making it, meat all cooked to order. I got the BBQ chicken so very delicious, nice balance of sweet and savory. I got three servings out of it! My husband got the Pork Sisig and had a nice kick to it! We shared the Ube cookie and it was so soft. The perfect amount of Ube in it. Great authentic spot! read more

Yum! I appreciate Parilya setting the bar high for my first Filipino food experience. I went on a Friday afternoon around 5pm with a friend and there was a steady stream of customers coming for takeout orders which is a great sign. My friend and I ordered several different items to share from the menu to experience as much as we could. My favorites, by far, were the: - Fried chicken (seasoned well, crunchy, and still moist) - Spaghetti (I don't eat beef or pork so I stayed away from the meat but the sauce and noodles were delicious!) - Bbq chicken and pickled veggies (exactly as described!) We also grabbed two cookies and...listen...these are worth the calories! Treat yourself because it is worth it. Looking forward to returning and trying more Filipino food soon. Never should have waited so long! read more

No garnished pickled vegetables. Otherwise bbq chicken is pretty good and tog can't go wrong with the ube cheesecake cookie

The food here is amazing. We've ordered twice now and will definitely order again. Very highly recommended.

Such amazing food! Sometimes we got dinner from their food truck a block away -- and sometimes if the truck wadn't there and our craving for their heavenly deliciousness was great, we drove all the way to Olmstead Falls to get dinner. We have tried everything -- and it is all wonderful. read more

The Gourmet Gastronauts strikes again with our food group coming here! So one downfall is this place does not take reservations and the seating is limited so with a group of 8 we had to wait till people left so we could grab the tables. With that being said the food was amazing. Our food group said we all would come back. You order at the counter and it did take some time and some items they were out of but overall they have wonderful options. There is outdoor seating too if you do go on a nice day. Part of their menu changes biweekly too so one positive if you become a frequent visitor! read more

Overpriced, have to pay extra $5 for rice with your sisig. $21 total for the meal. 5$ extra just for rice. Sisig was blah, no flavor no spice. For $21 dollars I expect more quality in taste. If you're searching for a good authentic Filipino restaurant this is not it, you have to go to the Philippines. I hope they improve. Seems like Filipino restaurants here in Ohio are short lived, unlike Korean, Chinese and Thai restaurants. Update: Best Filipino food in Ohio is Tita Flore's, go there instead, real authentic Filipino food and fairly priced. read more

Have been waiting to try this food truck and they're also opening a pop up soon! Visited Parilya when they were at the Lakewood arts festival. People were lined up and the food truck was super busy; food came out in 10ish minutes which honestly was fine considering how many people were in line and the quality of the food. Buns were super soft and there was plenty of meat inside. Ube cookie was soft and tasted like an oatmeal raisin cookie with a subtle but constant cheesecake flavor and it was delicious. read more

Love their food truck, very big portions for a great price, and very nice service. You can tell everything was made very fresh and was seasoned very well. The Chicken Tocino was awesome, the chicken was so tender and had great flavor and you could tell it was marinated for a while, the garlic fried rice was super good and a great base for the whole dish, the egg was perfectly fried, and the pickled onions and vegetables were the perfect compliment to the salty chicken and rice and fatty egg. read more

Ordered late in day so had limited options. Got BBQ chicken very flavorful, garlic fried rice very delicious and the pandesal which was so good. Wanted to try the pancit but unable to because of late order. That will be the next thing I try. Lumpia were crisp and tasty! A good place to try so Etching different. read more

We were so excited to see a Filipino restaurant open up near by! Beautiful ambiance, friendly staff, & delicious food! For a family of 5 we knew going in it was going to get pricey however we wanted to try a few things. Highly recommend the Chx tocino rice bowl, siapao (dip sauce was delicious!), & ube cheesecake cookie for sure! My husband's a huge aioli lover so we tried the Sisig on fries w/aioli & it was great however he's a sauce person so it could definitely use way more aioli in our opinion. Overall we enjoyed everything & def. recommend! read more

When I served in the US Navy, I had my first glimpse into Filipino culture. I found Filipino people to be kind, generous, & hospitable. My visit to Parilya confirmed it. The restaurant is clean and fresh. The service was kind, generous, & patient. The food was REALLY good. I enjoyed the chicken tocino & lumpia. The chicken tocino was very tasty with almost a bbq chicken flavor with side of pickled onions, fresh shaved carrots & fried rice which complimented the meal very nicely. The lumpia was just right. Crispy and tasty, not oily at all. It took me back to being deployed & sharing a meal with good friends. I look forward to returning. If you haven't tried Filipino cuisine, this restaurant is an excellent place to start. read more

Great tasting meals and the guy at the counter was helpful to us who were new to Philippine cuisine

Fast and friendly. There are a few tables but the steady stream of customers on a Sunday evening were taking their orders to go. Chinked tocino was tender with a nice char and not too sweet. The pickled vegetables are just a garnish. My order was easily two portions. The tofu curry was even larger, with a very subtle spice mix. Crispy lumpia were excellent. read more

I got it off the food truck and it was amazing. Very good and wanted to eat more. I will going to the restaurant soon! read more

Parilya - This place was outstanding. I got it off their food truck I will be heading to the brick and mortar soon! - Food Trucks Near Me - Olmsted Falls, Ohio

I've been wanting to try this Pilipino place since a lot of people have been hyping it up and saying that the food there was really good! Being Pilipino myself I wanted to see if the reviews really lived up to the hype. They were definitely right about a lot of stuff. Service was excellent and fast. Food was hot and delicious. Hubby already knew he was going to get their sisig bcuz that's his favorite Pilipino dish. As for me, I got the chicken bbq w/ garlic fried rice. Hubby also got garlic fried rice. The chicken bbq ended up being our favorite dish we got there because it was juicy n loved the char n seasonings it had. The sisig was fine but to us it lacked that Pilipino flavor we were looking for. Definitely both agreed that my mom's sisig is way better. But they still did a great job because we ended up finishing it :) The decor reminded me of my Lola's house n just Philippines in general. It was cozy n homey. As far as pricing goes it's definitely up there but they definitely don't skimp on their meat n their rice. Overall our first experience was really good so we definitely will try their other dishes as well :) read more

The food is amazing. You could tell the chicken is fresh and better quality than most places. The food is very authentic. They have very healthy meals. You could tell when you're done eating it not too heavy in your stomach. I'm pretty sure it's a family owned restaurant and the customer service is amazing as well. They have a nice patio to sit outside and enjoy the food. read more

Parilya - Barbecue Chicken - Food Trucks Near Me - Olmsted Falls, Ohio

Absolutely fantastic food! I had gone to the Parilya food truck previously and was really excited that they had opened a restaurant. And they delivered more than I could've expected. I got the chicken tocino with garlic fried rice and lumpia and both were so tasty! The chicken tocino portion was definitely enough for 2 people. They also had a lot of Filipino drinks that were also very good. And the desserts all looked so good. We got the mango tartlets and the Ube mamon (basically an ube cupcake) and they were so delicious. Everyone working there was so nice and very happy to help out. There are 4-5 tables to sit at, but they also do take out. And the food came out super fast. We will definitely be going again! read more

In town to visit friends and the solar eclipse viewing, came here because it was close enough to the airport and I was STARVING. The staff was so nice and helpful, we have a few allergies/food concerns in our group and the staff were able to help us navigate their menu! We ended up getting beef tapa, lumpia (filipino egg rolls), chicken tocino, crispy tofu and veggie stir fry. Everything was cooked to order and so fresh. Obsessed with the smoky garliciness from the stir fry, its not that oily slop you get at other takeout places. The pickled veggies were a nice touch for a pop of brightness. The Tapa was to DIE for. We also checked out their little bakery and snack section after our meal. So many snacks I've never seen before, grabbed some for a solar eclipse viewing party. From the bakery, the pandesal (filipino bread rolls) is the way to go! We came around dinner time, so the pandesal wasnt as fresh as it would have been if we came earlier, but it was still so fluffy inside and a bit crisp on the outside. I think I ate like 1/4 pound of that whipped butter they recommended. The milo ganache brownie was absolute heaven, for sure regretting not getting more, but will be back! So sad that I don't live around here anymore, for sure have to stop by before leaving CLE. Thank you Parilya! read more
