    Lumpia to go
    K B.

    If your looking for lumpia or veggie egg rolls they have it $7 for 12 lumpia Very crowded at 1:30 on a Saturday

    Jasmine S.

    There was a very large selection of Filipino foods, so everyone in my family was able to order something they were looking for. It was a little bland, but we still left satisfied. The line goes by pretty fast as well, depending on how many are helping out at the front. It is also very clean and the seating area is spacious.

    Wide selection of delicious filipino food
    Ana C.

    Wide selection of Filipino food. Very friendly staff with adequate seating to eat. Convenient location to do grocery after you're done eating. Their kalderetang kambing is highly recommended New added food in the menu is the authentic chicharon which my kids like. One stop shop for basic needs with a bakery adjacent to it. My go to place whenever i need food for work. Saves me time and effort for meal prep.

    Asked for chicken bbq, got a mix of chicken and pork

    Bruh, I was going to comment that the hours are silly on this Yelp page, went to go double check…read moretheir Google page and apparently it's permanently closed? I'm gonna check with my NorCal moots about this but sucks if that's true. I was going to comment on how this is one of few bastions of affordable, slightly more unique food in the bay area, but I guess that's not the case. I'm spoiled by having a Dollar Hits in SoCal literally down the street from me so I can't say this place compares, but it's at least an option for NorCal, you know? This definitely used to be another restaurant, but then retrofitted to be a grill. Super large grill in the middle for everyone to communally cook at indoors. This is a good combination between the outdoors grill it yourself and the indoors seating of both the SoCal Dollar Hits, so I thought that was nice. They have all the classics here, isaw (sometimes Dollar Hits doesn't have this unless you request -it's chicken intestines), large intestines, chicken skin, kwek kwek (battered quail eggs), and Tender Juicy bright red filipino hot dogs (a must). You can also order a side of rice and the sauces were self serve (made it a bit sticky). It gets a bit smoky in there even with the fans, but overall had an enjoyable time the time when I did visit.

    Let's start with the food. The food is not great. This place only gets one star for the sisig which…read morein my opinion still needs more acidity. The food on the sticks does not compare at all to other places I've had it especially the Philippines. The fish ball and lobster balls were dry and needing the fish ball sauce which they didn't have. Only sauce I did find that they say was an all around sauce was pretty much a watered down mang Tomas sauce. The bbq stick was rubber and way too sweet. The chicharon bulaklak was also rubber and not crunchy at all. The kikiam was okay. The isaw was not good at all, it lack seasoning. The shumai was dry. Service was you pretty much get what you want and heat it up yourself. Place was empty as there wasn't much people. Definitely first and last time coming here.

There's a a generous amount of meat and it's always so tender. I would love if they made it a little more sour but that's my personal preference. The protein might be different depending on the day but they've all been good. The place is tiny, maybe like 10 chairs so you might have to wait at prime times. Service is friendly.

Now onto the food. The tosilog was sooo good! The meat was seasoned and grilled perfectly. The java rice is okay, I wish they have garlic rice as an option. Hubby got the longanisa and it was good too. Portions are huge. Service was good even though they had a full house. They're not on DoorDash which is a bummer. We would definitely come back again but not during rush hour.

The pork bbq sticks were yummy, flavorful charred meat I really enjoyed and not too fatty. Even the eggs were cooked perfectly. If looking for some good filipino cuisine, I recommend this spot.
