    Good breakfast and flavorful. Standard pricing and a clean area. Fast, friendly service. Lots of food options. Will be back to eat here again.

    I ordered some dishes for Christmas and it took forever to place an order. They have 1 register for customers paying for hot dishes and to place an order. It took forever to place an order, they have promos to order but the cashier and manager don't even know about it. The funny thing is the promos on the board.

    Chicken BBQ 12" (Each)
    Ella P.

    So grateful they were open yesterday despite it being Easter Sunday. I traveled all day and skipped lunch. I made it to PhilHouse just in time to grab a meal. They offer 3 options (one, two or three ulams which you could get either rice or pancit with, pancit is Filipino style chowmein or half and half of both). I chose the two option one since I wanted to take home some leftovers. I chose pinakbet which is a vegetarian dish with squash, string beans, eggplants and bittermelon. I also chose chicken barbecue in a skewer. They were gonna close for the day in about an hour so the lady ended up giving me an extra chicken barbecue! Score! The dipping vinegar is really tasty too. I paid $16.99 for everything which is an amazing value for California. Wish we had an Island Pacific in New England!

    Pork Sisig
    Tiffany B.

    I got to try this place thru Door Dash. It was quick and easy and I love Filipino food. I do have to take away a star because I ordered half rice and half pancit, but they gave me double rice. The pork Sisig was my favorite. It was cooked well and I loved the citrus flavor. The Bicol express was also great, it was spicy and flavorful. I just wish I got a chance to try the pancit.

    Kare kare
    Yolanda G.

    My son brought me back a large kare kare from here and what a HUGE disappointment this was. It's very watery, missing peanut butter flavor and barely any meat just mostly vegetables! It has no flavor whatsoever. I've been craving kare kare for 3 days now and this was NOT good at all.

    Chicken and pork bbq skewers, plus tray of pancit
    Michelle L.

    I like their combo plates with all-pancit (though you can get half and half with rice), especially the kaldereta (upcharge for beef), kare-kare and BBQ pork skewers (chicken are OK). Be warned that sisig is charged by the pound and not just the size of the container! Their grilled/fried items such as jeprox, smelt, pompano, tilapia, squid, or happork/kapalmuks (pig face) are more specialty. Not usually a breakfast person here though. Recently, ordered some party trays for pickup: pancit and mixed BBQ chicken and pork skewers to complement our other order from another place: kaldereta, fresh lumpia sariwa, and dessert tray (karioka, turon, palitaw, kutsinta, maja blanca). To be honest, I would have preferred the kaldereta from PhilHouse and maybe some fried lumpia shanghai too. The pancit came with some pieces of lechon on top, but no lemon/citrus on the side. The BBQ skewers marinade/glaze was a little bit more on the sour side than spicy this time, but still good. I forget if the hot items are actually labeled, but you can always ask.

    Awesome food! Always my favorite quick take out. Employees are awesome. They really cater to your needs.

    So family and I drove from the bay back to sac. My kids and I wanted to have some Filipino food and the food I wanted they said they can't serve us. Every dish that was out the said the food is no good but was serving a guy in front of us. Mind you I am Filipino and my husband is black and my kids are mixed. They were very disrespectful and I felt they were racist towards us. Never coming back

I'd definitely go back and could consider this spot for catering in the future as well.

We were really more interested in the Filipino food, as there aren't many options in Sacramento. My husband says that the Filipino food has a Chinese influence here. It's definitely a more hole-in-the-wall place. We came at around lunch time and were warmly greeted by two ladies. A couple of other parties came in after us. We ordered 4 dishes to share, and they came out pretty fast! 1) Pinakbet - probably my favorite dish. It's a simpler dish with vegetables including eggplant, bitter melon, okra, tomato, kabocha, pork. I liked that the bitter Leon had a but of a wok char flavor. The eggplant had a bit of an oil taste but I'm aware that restaurants will fry the eggplant and then stir fry it into the fish to maintain the color...I actually liked that oil taste haha. 2) Kare Kare - it's a peanut butter stew with vegetables including eggplant, bokchoy, green beans, and oxtail. The oxtail is so tender. They also provide a shrimp paste and that adds some salt and pungent flavor. 3) Pancit palabok - as you'd expect with the addition of tofu. I wished they had more chicharron on there for texture 4) Bopis - diced pig ear with some jalapeños and peppers. This was seasoned so well and goes well when mixed with rice. We ordered rice to go along with the dishes. There was sooooo much food leftover. Great value! I am totally looking forward to the next time I get to go here!
