    Taken 06/25/2025: Sizzling Steak Salpicao
    Jeff R.

    My wife and I don't usually go to Filipino restaurants. Why, when your parents can cook still and you can get your favorite Filipino comfort foods at home for free. I know. Sounds cheap and yet I suspect many of you Filipinos feel the same way about your parents home cooking. However when we visited my wife's Aunt in San Francisco we were torn. Her Aunt makes the most amazing kare kare. But she's a little more fragile now so with much fighting and a little deception we convinced her to let us take her out. We had a whole bunch of places from Yelp to choose from also but when her son said he wanted to bring us to his favorite place we said sure. But wait it's Filipino? You can imagine the side eye Aunty gave us all. Going to pay for what she could have cooked at home lol. Well, blame it on her son. For the table (five of us) he ordered: -Appetizer combo: lumpianitas, wings, calamari, and shrimp. This was okay. Standard fried appetizer platter. -Crispy Pork Tata: These were absolutely amazing. Crispy skin. Juicy pork meat. He ordered TWO. We finished only one because there was so much and I could hear my doctor in my head just screaming "stop!" But omg this was a meal by itself. My cousin happily took home the other piece. -Sizzling sisig bangus: This is a personal fave of mine. Shredded milkfish in a creamy lemon sauce. I probably ate half of this plate. -Sizzling beef salpicao: cubed tenderloin in a Worcestershire sauce. I didn't like this as much as I had hoped. Felt it was too salty. Unfortunate since my cousin highly recommended it. -Green beans with longanisa: you had me at longanisa. It was the only vegetable dish we got so I made sure to "eat my greens". You know, be healthy. -You bet we ordered garlic fried rice and you bet I ate my share. -My daughter had ordered a Calamansi based drink which we had to remind them about bc all the food came out before that did. The restaurant has a good amount of seating which is great for the family feel. Not to offend our Aunt but yes I'd come here again when I'm in the city. She got her revenge anyways. Somehow she paid for the bill even though we said we were taking care of it.

    We chanced upon this place while walking through a windy & cold night in San Bruno from our friend's hotel to another intended Filipino restaurant in the area. Glad the group was in agreement to try this establishment out. Having never heard of this enduring Filipino-Spanish restaurant, I actually had doubts. That all went away when our Chicken Tinola was served. The soup was so good it exceeded my expectations for such a traditional Filipino viand. Next was a round of San Miguel Brewery's Red Horse extra strong lager and we were good to go. The Crispy Pata (deep fried pork leg) was the next "ulam" that was hands down, another winner. Delicious to the bone as I chewed it clean after we partook with the crackling skin and juicy pork meat. Not a fan of Callos (beef tripe) so I can't compare this dish to previous experience. I'd still give this one 4/5 stars though. For dessert, we shared the Mango Frozen Brazo (custard filled rolled meringue cake). Easily A+. Service wasn't as quick as we hangrily wanted it to be, but the joint was handling several large parties that evening. Patio Filipino will now be in our options for Pinoy comfort food when in the Peninsula.

    They catered the food for my wedding reception and it seemed a bit hit with the guests. We came here for my son's baptism afterwards and did a buffet. We also ordered food from here for Easter this year. Ambiance: it's always nice and casual here.

    We attended a networking and this is where they held the event. They have reserved a private room just for our group. They ordered lumpia shanghai, chicharon bulaklak and camaron rebosado as appetizers. Then for main entrè - beef mechado, callos, adobo, paella, and bangus sisig. Everything was good And for dessert some ordered halohalo and some got the brazo de mercedes which has an ice cream and corn i think? The service and staff were really great and fast. Parking is a little challenging though but the place is clean and decent. Overall , I would recommend it here for filipino food cravings.

    Pinakbet

    Patio Filipino really knows how to do crispy right! Their Lechon Kawali, Pork Sisig, and Crispy Pata were all perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside--exactly how they should be. The Patio Sampler, Sizzling Bangus Sisig, Pancit Combination, Sotanghon Guisado, and Pinakbet were also amazing, packed with authentic flavors that really hit the spot. The restaurant has plenty of tables, making it a great spot for groups, and service was fast and efficient, which was a big plus. The only reason for the 4-star rating is that the Kare Kare lacked flavor--it could've used a richer, more robust peanut sauce. Other than that, everything else was fantastic, and I'd definitely come back for more!

    My husband I had dinner here last night, Monday 09Jun2025. This place never fails me at all. I ordered lumpia, beef bulalo, calamari, pancit bihon and buko consetta for dessert. The place is clean, peaceful. Servers were attentive and nice! The calamari is crunchy and tasty, and lumpia too. They had the fresh garlic and vinegar dipping sauce or chili sauce. The bulalo is soo good with lots of veggies. The pancit is super good with vegetables and sautéed garlic on top. The buko consetta is the best and so unique with mix halo halo and gelatin line inside. Thank you

    We love this place. Easy to find parking and plus their food is very good. We ordered: fried chicken, lechón kawali, pancit (fat and skinny noodles), Kare kare (oxtail) and kalabasa with coconut sauce. Delicious. This is becoming my favorite location to eat Filipino food now that Viamare is closed. We would definitely come back especially since the wait staff is so attentive and kind.

    Sinigang na baka (beef) with chicken/ pork adobo. This bowl of sinigang is massive!
    Trish A.

    My cousin was in town from Arizona and was in nearby in Burlingame. It was a cloudy/ rainy evening, so I brought her to Patio Filipino. We ordered the sinigang na baka (beef) and the chicken/ pork adobo. It was just what we needed to feel warmed, comforted, and reminiscent of our childhood and our Lolo Bert. I ordered the sweet tea gulaman, which was perfectly light and refreshing. This is a great restaurant to visit if you're flying into SFO or you're traveling through and just want that comfort food. Thank you, Patio Filipino!

    Great selection of filipino food. Restaurant is spacious clean and decent looking. Only downside is There's limited street parking. Staff are attentive and service can be quick or slow. Sisig seems to be made from an old lechon kawali. Ordered sisig, bangus sisig which is alright and I enjoyed the laing.

    Me and my family really liked this place! It was busy when we went and I guess my only critique was the lone girl who was serving (the 2-3 other people else seemed to be busing tables). But she was really fast when we needed something. Sizzling bangus sisig was soooo good and flavorful! I almost ate the whole thing to myself. My new favorite bangus sisig I liked their Adobo chicken wings Lechon kawali was nice and crispy and delicious. The garlic rice was also really good and complemented the rest of the meal nicely. The Beef Steak Tagalog was pretty good however it's tough to compare to my grandmother's lol Definitely recommend if you're in the mood for good Filipino food! I wanna come back to try the desserts!

    Crispy Binagoongan
    Lyn N.

    This is one of my favorite Filipino restaurants in the Bay Area. I don't go here often since it's a long drive from my house. But it's definitely worth it. When we are not busy, my family actually likes to eat here for lunch or dinner. I highly recommend their crispy binagoongan. The flavors of the eggplant, pork, mango, and tomatoes taste very delicious. It's a small restaurant. There are two rooms. On the left is the main dining room. I believe the room to the right is for private parties.

    I took my husband here today for lunch. It is actually his first time at this place. And pleasantly, he enjoyed the food. Their food is delicious and has generous serving. Their food is delicious. We had crispy pata, adobong pusit and relyenong talong. Masarap Ang timpla nila. And because it's generous, you have food "to go". In addition, it was an honor meeting and Getting to know the owners of Patio Filipino Resto. Mr Gonzales and Mr "Bambi" Fernandez, and the young owner of Goldilocks were very nice owners. They were very friendly and down to earth people. Thank you for the nice service, Prescy and Alissa. We will definitely be back. More power to your business and God bless you all.

    Beef Rib Eye Tapa

    Came here to celebrate my friend's birthday. Ordered my favorite paella and portion was huge. It was worth $40. They only have paella on the weekend. Make sure you ordered right away because it'll take 15 minutes or more to get it on your table. Beef tasted liked beef jerky. Loved it. Totally recommended.

    Does this restaurant have a private parking lot? Easy to find parking?

    There is no private parking lot. I have only attended during semi-private events (sold out) and it was a bit difficult to find street parking. I do not know how it is on a regular night or lunch hour.

    Will your patio be available this weekend? do you allow pets in your patio?

    Weather permitting, yes.

    Do you sell frozen lumpia to go?

    You can try goldilocks in south San Francisco or Daly City. Sorry, we don't.

    Do they deliver?

    No they don't, but they do take out orders for pick up.😃

I sent a request via Yelp app and Marsha suggested I send an email. This was on a Sunday and the event was in 2 weeks ! When I didn't hear anything via email or a call I called the office and spoke to Ben who apologized for the lack of communication and he would respond via email, which he did a few hours later. After several emails from Ben we were able to settle on a menu in just a few days! We were looking for a Hawaiian fusion themed menu and Ben & his staffto came up with a great menu. W Some of our many items that was a huge hit with our guests were Vietnamese vegan rolls, miso glazed black code, a toss green salad with Edamame and Asian dressing, crab deviled eggs, scallops spoon, chimichuri steak crostini, short ribs skewers, Asian style lamb meatballs, and dessert of fruit cups and mini cupcakes were perfect. There was a few dishes that wasn't as successful but overall everyone enjoyed the food. We had pre arranged to have someone to meet the catering staff early for setup but due to unknown delays they did show up until an hour before the service started which also ment they were rushed to setup the food but they did a good job to get the hot and cold foods setup before the end of the service. Overall they did a good job and the food excellent but arriving late to the event and poor timing to replenish empty dishes was disappointing also dessert wasn't served until most guest departed. We enjoyed working with Ben and appreciated the communication once it was established.

Sheldon was fabulous to work with, coming up with a great menu out of the box. Some of our guests have celiac, and others are lactose-intolerant; all food was perfectly labeled so these people felt safe eating it. Many guests approached me to rave about the food afterwards, and this is a foodie crowd. Even the recommended beer and wines were just right. They set up the area perfectly, and the staff, overseen by the attentive and sensitive Roma, and were able to accommodate a few last-minute requests (e.g., an electrical outlet and extension cord; rearranging chairs to be out of the sun; extensive speeches that could have eaten into food time). We had a number of updates to our requests as close-in as days before the event, and all were accommodated with a smile. I add that I set this whole thing up from FL and CT, never setting foot on the property before the event. And all went off without a hitch. I recommend Melon's wholeheartedly!

We wanted food at our wedding that reflected our cultures (and our favorite foods). We received catering contracts from several caterers, but Melon's was the only one where we really felt like they had worked with our ideas. Chef Stephen told me at the first call outright that he couldn't do "the most authentic", but he could make delicious food. He was right -- and all my guests (most of whom dislike fusion) were super pleased. People literally raved to me first about the food of all the things about my wedding, especially the red-cooked duck leg and the baklava. 2022 was a crazy year for weddings, and Melons was super busy and a bit slow in responding through the first half of that until the summer. So just be aware of that when you work with this vendor. We booked them without a tasting and pleased at our tasting to discover that we had chosen well. (And were again very pleased at our wedding when the food was exactly as it was at the tasting, except they had taken into account our feedback as well so it was even better!) Finally, the servers were all kind and so courteous and happy for us on the day of. The only sad thing is that I can't eat my wedding food again, to be honest.
