First time coming here after checking out Island Pacific. We LOVE Island Pacific & Philhouse in Vegas so we figured we should give this location a try. Big mistake. We came 1.5 hrs before closing & the place was empty. We walked in and they only have a few selections left. Pork and chicken barbecue were COLD. They gave the thinnest pork liempo & complained to each other why there's no chopping board around to which someone replied that they washed it already bc they're about to close. The ladies and the guy cashier were loud and obnoxious, also a bit rude that we chose to dine in. I don't mind the loud singing but their loud chanting to each other made in unpleasant for us to stick around. Menudo was good but fatty, beef kaldereta was so hard like eating beef jerky, pork and chicken skewers were good but served cold, & rice was warm but hard. I saw one review that mentioned they were charged for something they didn't order...the same thing happened to us when we went to Island Pacific next door, so be cautious and check your receipts! read more

Their cashier was NOT very friendly and no customer service at all. I paid for my food and I was explaining to her it's just no egg as they ran out and plain rice, longanisa and spam and she said "oo nga breakfast?! omg don't answer me like that. No smile and friendliness to greet your customers! I had to reach out for some utensils as the cashier did not offer me anything and I heard the other lady tell the other server, the customers can't just reach out and grab utensils. It's basically she wants me to hear it and shame me! Never coming back to this place. read more

Ordered monggo and lechon kawali. Minho was so dry I couldn't eat it. It said vegetables in it but found none. Lechon kawali was not crispy and came with no sauce. $36 down the drain read more

Stopped by PhilHouse for lunch with my mom a few weeks ago. Seems like a staple place in the area for Filipino food. They had plenty of customers coming in and out for both food pick up and dine in. They also had a ton of selections on the hot plate and their overall menu to choose from; all of the popular Filipino dishes. Definitely a solid, local spot to satisfy your craving for Filipino food. PhilHouse is located on Springs Road in Vallejo adjacent to the Island Pacific Market and in the Bank of America shopping center. There is plenty of free parking shared by all of the businesses in the shopping center in front of the establishment and close by. As I mentioned above, a strong point for PhilHouse is their variety and offerings that target many Filipino favorites. The food is usually good and the few times I've stopped by, the staff seem to replenish dishes frequently to keep the offerings fresh. Service is efficient, sometimes a little rushed even with no customers. Depending on who is helping you, the ordering experience can either feel a little cold and too fast for comfort or friendly (usually the former). Pricing is competitive to other places locally, but can also be hit or miss depending on the quality of the food (and service) for the day. Though we usually take our food to go, there are plenty of seats for patrons to dine in once they order their food. The staff seem to keep the main dining area clean and well-maintained. Overall a solid place in Vallejo to chow down on some favorite Filipino dishes. Though I wouldn't rank it the best Filipino food I've ever had, it will satisfy the craving for sure. read more

I had a friend that was Filipino and I asked him what was the best place to find Filipino food and he suggested this place. I first ordered through Uber eats. I ordered a combo with bistec and menudo. Then I I ordered two milk fish they didn't have it so they gave me chicken with my permission. I finally went there and it was really good It had so many items it was overwhelming Great place for good affordable food read more

Visit to Vallejo and my dad took me here for Halo-halo (102° F called for it!) The halo halo was ready in 2 seconds and all they did was add the milk and some ice. Not really upset with that but growing up, I remember it being made to order and every layer of goodness could be customized to more or less. Sadly, no ice-cream, no leche flan (its best part!) and nata de coco (love that texture and chew). There was very little kaong (palm fruit) and only a few tiny pieces of langka. Yes, it was missing a few main ingredients (OK so it was a lot!), yet flavor was OK. I would have liked a lot more ice as it melted the minute we walked outside. When we got home, We added macapuno ice-cream and that made it much better. Not sure if I'll go back to order the halo halo but willing to try the filipino food next time. read more

Great food a lot choice and cheap ,and cleanliness restaurant. The server is very friendly

Just ordered food via Door Dash. Container was not even wrap with cling wrap so It spilled into the bag. And just got a 5$ refund from Door Dash...Not happy about it. read more

This place is ok, like decent, but I won't ever be back after how rude the lady that helped me was. She seemed annoyed I asked what something was. I asked her for a 2 Combo (for $11). Once she got my 2 combo I asked how much the bbq sticks are, she said $3something. Or I can do the 3 combo for $16! LMFAO! Soooo I pay 3 dollars more or you try and sham me and give me the 3 combo... I said no I'll just get the stick then at the register she still tries to ring it up as a 3 combo for $16!!! I said uhm no nice try lol. I usually tip a lot too so you would have gotten more not being conniving. Tried to get over on me for what totaled to be $1 when I had planned to tip $5 just like I did last time. -__- Maybe price things where they make sense? If you wanted me to get the combo at least give 2 BBQ sticks... lol. EDIT: I just tried the BBQ Stick and it's so dry it's not even edible. It's rubbery like it's been out for 3 days. read more

Check your reciept! My elderly mother in law was charged for items she didn't order. She didn't realize it till she got home. She tried going back the next day but they refused to reimburse her. That is dishonest and unfair for a woman with a fixed income. I won't go back there because of that. read more

When we go to PhilHouse it's usually an afterthought. We have become accustomed to attaching it to Island Pacific, the oriental grocery store. Lately, though, because other Filipino restaurants were closed the day we wanted Filipino food, we've been going here more often. The plus is that PhilHouse has veggie dishes other Filipino restaurants do not offer. The restaurant also offers authentic dishes such as the fried dried fish like tuyo. Comparatively speaking, PhilHouse is less dated in terms of ambience as well. read more

The best pork sinigang I've had in the Bay Area so far! Came on a random weekday with my hubby. Since it's located right next to the Filipino market where we always go shopping for groceries, we decided to give this place a shot. It's open later than most of the other Filipino restaurants in Vallejo. It's a point and pick kind of place. They don't have any labels for anything so if I didn't have my Filipino husband with me, I would have no idea what anything really was. We got a random assortment of stuff! - pork sinigang was by far my favorite! Filled with meaty and tender pork pieces that tasted smoky, I fell in love! -pancit - a bit in the dry side but very flavorful and tasty! - pork bbq sticks - the flavor was wonderful but a little to fatty for my taste - some kind of beef in a red tomato sauce which was pretty yummy but I forgot the name - a drink that starts with a g? It had jelly in it and was dark brown but way too sweet and tasted like liquid Motrin. It's not for me. read more

Why was my order scribbled on? Why didn't you prepare my order as ordered? Were you out of food? Do you understand what "No Pork" means?! I'm totally disappointed! I want a refund! Never ordering from here ever again! read more

Raw bbq chicken = a ticket to the hospital. We went back the next day to show them the picture and they had the audacity to tell us to microwave the chicken. They also requested us to bring the chicken back to the store. read more

PhilHouse - RAW chicken bbq - Filipino Near Me - Vallejo, California

I've been coming here for a little over four years and after getting cut for the third time by another customer and the workers just allowed it -- i can't allow myself to return here. Though their food is pretty good, the service makes me never want to come back. read more

The server was so rude! My wife and toddler went to eat here today. Before ordering, we specifically said "we do not eat pork" so they showed us non pork options. We ordered some chicken skewers because we heard they were good. When we sat down to eat, we took a bite and realized they gave us pork. When we asked them to switch it out, they insisted we pay for a new one and even got upset that we didn't eat pork. They definitely need to work on their mannerisms. read more

The rating I've given is based on food quality and value alone. This is the ONLY Filipino restaurant in town that my picky mom will eat at or order from. She says it's because they're clean and the food, in her opinion, is as close to traditional homemade Filipino food than any other, and I agree! The prices are also fairly cheap, too. My cousin catered her entire 50th birthday party gala she ordered from here that maybe cost $600 but fed like almost 100 guests with leftovers to spare. read more

They sold me rotten sinigang na baboy yesterday on 11/04/24. It was past noon time or past lunch time. The tray on display was full and steamy. I ordered a large. I drove home for 20 minutes and ate it right away. They say adobo or paksiw tastes better the older it gets, this has a almost rotten taste. I had a fever so I was wanting something quick and easy for my meal. I was not cheap for a large entre. It was terrible and I was really disappointed. Usually their sinigang tastes really good but I don't know why it was rotten today. I was too sick to drive back and deal with it. Please be careful with your food handling and temperature. Papanis na sya nung kinain ko. Hindi ko napapansin kaagad kasi maasim ang sinigang at maasim rin ang panis. Pero please careful, you could have food poison somebody with wrong food handling for temperature especially food with onions and tomatoes. Mabilis mapanis. read more

Pricing ... ok. Staff ... ok. Place ... almost ok. Pricing...seemed pretty standard for combos and other filipino dishes. As a Filipino, born in the Philippines, I have tasted plenty of authentic dishes and home cooked meals. This place is about a 2 or maybe on a very hungry day and I am fiending for some rice w Filipino tastes ... then a 3. Staff sometimes are friendly. Although, they are more friendly with one another, less so with the customers. They speak about their woes, staffing problems and personal bickering as you order (I understand and speak Tagalog) and for the non speaking, it will be like normal local chatter, much as you would hear in any foreign food establishment. Since, I speak and understand the language... it sounds unprofessional and not very inviting. The place has ample seating. But, do not be surprised if there are rice crumbs on your seat, dirty tabletops, small spills of darker colored liquid, which I hope is soup?? They do separate recycling cans and bottles, which is nice. Grab your food, pay, sit down and leave. That is the flow here. Not very welcoming. That's fine when I just wanna get down to business and eat. No small talk or pleasantries. They offer free coffee and free filtered water (bring your mug or cup, save the styrofoam tress... lol) No pics. Wrote this after I left. I Grabbed my food, paid, sat down and left. Sorry. Why 2 stars? Pricing is ok, food is ok and not a lot of Filipino restaurants around maybe 2 or 3 more in town?? Hope this helps. read more

Their pancit bihon is very bland/no flavor and for some reason they won't sell you a small side. I have to buy half a box to enjoy a little bit ! read more

Ordered pancit, sisig, lechon kawali and sinigang. Everything was delicious and flavorful! Would definitely come back, service was quick. Only thing that took some time was the halo halo... which when I paid for my meal and stood there to put my belongings away as the lady packed my food togo, the halo halo wasn't done yet and I forgot and left. Luckily when I came back and told them later and showed the receipt, they were able to make it for me. (Btw, the halo halo was really good!!) Enjoy! read more

Today, I waited I line for over 5 minutes just to be skipped. After informing the woman that I was next in line she proceeded to give me excuses to why she was going to help the family that came in after me, which included 5 or more people. I said, " you help them" and left peacefully. However it wasn't fair and feels wrong. I hope they chose to treat people better in the future. Stay positive read more

Located off Springs Rd in Vallejo within the same plaza as Island Pacific is this traditional Filipino style eatery with ready made dishes for you to pick from that are usually hot. All of your favorite Filipino foods. This is one of the more accessible and open hour stores in the area which is why service can be slow. My parents prefer their food compared to some of the similar shops in Seafood City. You can get bbq, dishes, pancits, porks, sinigangs etc. I just like the soup/broth "Sabaw" from sinigang or Nilaga. They also have open dining to eat your food there. Some items we usually get are there kare kare, pinakbet, mungo, bbq, and sinigang. You can get combo plates or a la carte dishes. On the weekends if there's a line it does take a little bit of time waiting to get your orders and paying. They also have door dash so you just have to be patient at times. If you want a little taste of the Philippines, this is the place to go. read more

I always go to this place but today I'm giving one star to the pork sinigang. This is my first time trying it out, good portion but I am very disappointed coz it is too salty. I didn't get to eat it. A waste. I wonder if they taste it first before taking it out? Or maybe the refilled soup that they added to the front was from the bottom of the pot. Pls next time, taste it first. read more

I will call this "daylight robbery".....why? We ordered 2 combos 2 items, me & wifey both pick grilled fish & some veggies, upon paying our stuff, the cashier told us that the fish is NOT part of the combo, to my suprise, i asked her why its not part of the combo, she replied that " I have to ASK!". The cashier just have the NERVE to tell me that.So, i told her that there's should be a SIGN that GRILLED FISH ARE NOT PART OF ANY COMBO....Or, customers SHOULD be INFORMED by the servers upon ordering their stuff.Everytime we travel North, we pass by here for lunch. Oh well, i guess we're going somewhere else where we can be treated with RESPECT!.....them MANANGS have some freaking ATTITUDES! read more

I called DOORDASH and they they said they couldn't reach them but gave me a full credit!! WELL WE WANTED OUR FOOD!! SO we went back in ,and they saw the mistake and apologized !!! We got EVEREYTHING we wanted . It turned out to be a Language misunderstanding. But We are going back because THE FOOD IS OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ESPECIALLY the Diaguan!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS PLACE IS FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

This location has been around for over 15 years that I can remember. I've moved away from Vallejo, but when I do drive thru and need some Filipino food this is my go to spot! Love their giant vegetable lumpia with vinegar. I can never do wrong with any combo plate. I'm a sucker for their halo halo. Chicken bbq, Pancit and sinigang! read more

This place is a hit or miss. Their pork adobo is sweet. The chicken adobo is the usual salty and sour that I'm use to. The kare kare is definitely a hit or miss. You have to get when it's fresh out of the kitchen otherwise all you'll get is tripe and veggies. It's not the traditional ox tail version obviously because ox tail is so expensive now.. The lechon kawali is pretty much just fat. They also no longer offer sigsig as a part of the combo plate. Weird they would do such a thing as I just had it with my combo a few weeks ago. Also.... fyi... none of the BBQ stuff or fish are included in the combo. read more

Don't be fooled with the display of different sizes of containers above their counter. You think you are paying for what the size says but NOT! They need to remove those signs, they should inform the customer that some items are sold by weight and not what the size of the container. It's very deceiving! I went there this last Sunday and chose "Medium" size container that says $10.99 or something for meat, the lady behind the counter went to weight it and I thought that was odd:( Anyways, it was already in the container so I went ahead to the register and $21.23. I know what you gonna say, that I could just say I don't want them anymore. My point is they should inform the customer before stuffing the container and ask if they agree that's all. Overall, I like their food especially my grandkids who loves Pork Sinigang. read more

Food is delicious. All servers are very rude! I can't stand them! This is 3rd time they yelled at me today! If it's not for the food I won't considered this place to eat. I don't like they talk to customers. I won't coming back here I'm a regular customer here I come by every single day to get lunch, dinner and some meryenda for my family but after today I won't coming back!!! Very rude service and servers! I'm very disappointed with my fellow Filipinos people. If I can suggest hire someone decent people if that happened I will be back to eat here. read more

Delicious food! They were very friendly considering how busy they were when we visited and having to comply with all the restrictions. This has become a regular stop for my family and I when we visit family out this way. And gosh, they pack on the food! If they decided to open a location in Honolulu, I'd probably be a regular. read more

I walked in, expecting it to be like the Philhouse in Pittsburg where I normally go to but such a disappointment. The staff seems like they do not want to serve you. When I ordered it seems like the portions were lesser that Pittsburg. I ordered sinigang , does not have the taste of sinigang, it's like watered down soup. The place needs a little cleaning too. read more

Tasty, good value! If you're craving for some authentic Filipino food, this place is recommended! I was delighted they have empanadas!

5 stars because it is exactly what I would expect of Filipino street food.. It's a great idea executed well and with the right clientele.. Now their music choice was pretty bad but that has nothing to do either awesome fish balls, Kikiam, bbq on a stick and the i famous hotdog on a stick. If you're feeling adventurous they also have blood cubes and intestines.. 1) grab a plate 2) pick your street food 3) it will either be fried of bbq 4)don't forget the sauce! Grab some napkins and Enjoy! read more

I've been coming here but every time I come here and order they'll be gossiping or saying something with a different dialogues as soon as I come in the door; then now they'll be having codes; from the Hair Salon place a few doors down and next door Vallerios to the Filipino market Pacific Island in the middle they'll ruined your character because of the tsismis from the Hair Salon and she'll start gossiping to trickle down which I don't even know this people like friends ba tayo??? Not at all I come in to place my orders give my tips and leave the place but so annoying the gossiping constantly and I will say this again I don't even know who this people are and they really should just focus with my order instead gossiping "stiismis" nang "tsismis" I don't even know this people and I stop coming in here supporting other businesses because of this reasons I don't know you like that and I don't want to get to know always stismis at ingit (envy/jealousy).... Good luck with your intentions to ruined other peoples characters and stupidity!!!!!!!!! As of today 04/23/22 Saturday I ordered to get a Halo-Halo and the stismosa lady with others don't have a halo-halo we only have corn with ice I repeat again loud you don't have Halo-Halo? Totally ignore my question just gave me Corn with Ice??? Wow and your gossiping someone you don't even know the truth or only one sided just to listen to the gossips with other businesses which don't even know the fact.... Few customers are complaining about the long lines and slow comments of other customers "slow and they talk a lot among other customers" WOW WOW and WOW Only a Halo-Halo but the person behind me they gave it to her because they know her and whom you know that's what's up!!!! I tried to order Halo-Halo but I was told we don't have anymore Halo-Halo but then they gave it the individual behind me what kinda shit it that??? B.S. and drama with a twist of gossiping..... Lol read more

Got some breakfast here yesterday and everything looked fresh but now I'm sitting here after getting food poisoning. My 2 year old son had some of the tocino, tapa rice and eggs too and now also has food poisoning. This was the only meal we ate yesterday. Never eating here again. read more

I haven't had much Filipino food but this place is GOOOOD!! The only thing I didn't like so much was adobe which I've had better at home. I wanted to try something new and the lady behind the counter was very helpful in providing a suggestion. They have trays of food including fried fish, roasted pork, pancit, and stew like dishes. My favorite is the sisig, when it's fresh the skin of the pork is super crispy, even as a left over it's still good. They also have halo halo (which I didn't try) and this warm dessert with coconut and tapioca pearls I ordered 3 dishes in medium sizes and a large pancit, I was able to get 5 servings for roughly $35-40. It was more than I thought I was coming home with. I like restaurants like this where you can order and take your time to eat and not feel rushed. read more

Servers are rude, expensive and food is not even good. The pancit and arroz caldo tasted just like straight pepper. If you're craving Filipino food, try Andrea's on Maple and Springs- expensive also but at least tastes like authentic Filipino food. read more

The food is good but I walked in this morning at 7:10am. The sign was flipped to "Open" and the doors were unlocked. I waited for a few minutes. 5 employees passed me by and spoke to each other in Tagalog saying "we don't open until 7:30am." However no employees addressed me to tell me this. I waited to see if anyone would tell me, another employee walks in and says, "doors should be open at 7:30am," but not to me. To her coworkers. And they all talked amongst each other about why is the sign flipped and door open so early. I was never acknowledged while there unfortunately. read more
