EDIT: 6/26/2017 We discovered the following morning that the pandesal we bought was expired FIVE DAYS earlier and had significant MOLD on the lower three rolls. Unfortunately, it was on the top of the rolls where they contacted the other rolls, so it was invisible until we opened the package. I will return to recheck in a few weeks or months to make sure, but as of right now it would be unconscionable for me to give a positive recommendation. Yes, we should have checked the expiration date, but the staff should ALSO be checking the dates (particularly at a BAKERY) both on the shelves regularly, and at the time of sale. Disgusting and unacceptable. Score reduced to 2/5. Follow up recommendation would be to do a proper inventory and have staff regularly check expiration dates. Bakery goods should be checked and discarded if expired on a DAILY basis. ORIGINAL REVIEW 6/25/2017: In our never-ending search for decent Filipino food, or more accurately because Philippine Smoked BBQ was closed, my wife and I found Philippine Bread House and Restaurant via Yelp somewhat by surprise. We thought we had found all the listed Filipino joints. Regardless, Philippine Bread House and Restaurant is tucked in an unassuming, semi-industrial looking storefront along Old Capitol Trail. If it weren't for their sign, they'd be hard to find. Thankfully, they've thoughtfully put out a plywood sign near the road. The restaurant takes up the right-hand side of their facility, with what looked like a partially disused bakery area to the left. They're clearly baking here, but they'e also storing stuff in there, so it was hard to tell if there used to be a bakery counter. The interior was well-decorated but a but scattered. You had baked goods on the left wall, in wire racks, mixed in with a coffee machine and some fridges. Tucked in the back was a small grocery area. Grocery selection and pricing was meh. Nothing special. Finally, the food was available from a small steam tray counter in the back. There were several customers eating inside, which boded well. We came to the counter and found an eight steam tray unit waiting. Only about six trays had food, with chicken adobo, some fish, a pork dish, and a few other common filipino foods. The selection and quality available was very limited and it was not readily apparent they could quickly make or obtain more. A group of five ordered after us and actually left because they were out of rice. Let me repeat that...out of rice. Prices were not clearly marked in large numbers anywhere, but a price list and a catering list were available by the register. Prices were reasonable, but not exceptionally good. The food was decent. My wife and her mother tried fish and pork dishes. They seemed reasonably happy with them. I had chicken adobo. It was excellent, certainly as good as any adobo I've had in the Philippines or homemade. The rice was also pretty decent, kudos to the rice cooker. Hygiene was so-so. There were some flies, the tables weren't completely clean, and there was a lot of clutter in that bakery area. Presentation of the food was similarly so-so. Styrofoam plates on cafeteria trays. Since the food was good, and since they do appear to have pretty good baked goods, I'm going to rate a 3/5. Here's what they could do to move that score up: 1) Consider expanding the selection to 8-12 items, with a soup or two. And don't run out of rice. They're operating like a neighborhood cantina or something in the Philippines. You know, the lady with the woks and bowls every few blocks with food? Problem is, they're in an industrial park type setting in Delaware. Step it up. Don't go crazy and make everything under the sun, or expensive stuff that needs more equipment. Stick with he basics like adobo, but maybe have more ready or cook to order (within the constraints of how long things take to cook). Elevate Filipino food and get new customers coming in. 2) Clean up a bit. Unclutter that baking area or maybe put up a curtain so you can't see inside. 3) Clearly label prices somewhere above the cash register, either on the front of the food trays or on the wall. 4) Ditch the styrofoam plates and plastic cutlery. At the given prices, I'd expect dinnerware. 5) Give up on the grocery section. Focus on the food. If you feel you NEED a Filipino grocery in Delaware, open one. But the more different things you try to do in one store, the harder it is to focus. So in summary, 3/5, some issues but good food.

This was our favorite place while we were living in Delaware. It has been almost 3 years since we left DE. When we visited recently we went here for lunch. I was craving for their fried fish and was glad to get one! My daughter loves chicken adobo. We ordered fish sinigang. It was a great lunch. read more
