    Halo-Halo
    Super F.

    Food I'm sure it's good. Service to be continued. Ambience is music and kitchen sound. Come and eat enjoy !

    Menu

    We this establishment on the way home. Decided to try it. There's a kiosk to order and the menu is easy and basic. Looking at the prices it's overpriced for some silog meal. I'm sorry but $14 for a longsilog is highway robbery. For a small bowl of pancit is $9. And the portions are small. You have to order a side to make it satisfying and that's $9. The pancit was delicious. And the longganisa and tapa was ok. Definitely worth trying out if you're in the area.

    I walked in and there was no one here so I didn't grab a table. When I finished ordering at the kiosk, all the tables were taken! It was an Asian Invasion!!!! Lol. Must be a good place to eat. Apparently a basketball game just ended and several families walked in. Ordering on the kiosk was easy. You click on what you want and it takes you to a window for extra options. Many different "silog" varieties to choose from: aside from the usual, they also have spam, adobo, tinapa, chicken, hotdog, and bagnet. You can also order pancit and lumpias. I ordered the Liemposilog and a halo halo. Liemposilog was decent. Good portion size! Lots of meat. Didn't look so much like the photo. I thought it would be more similar to Lechon Kawali. This was thinner and not crunchy. Halo Halo was good. Lots of toppings. Definitely a great place to stop for fast Filipino food. Establishment was clean. A few tables for couples and small groups. Order came out within 5-10 min.

    Halo halo.

    Been wanting to try this place for a minute. I perused the menu before.i wasn't in the mood for any -silog dishes. I drove over because I wanted to have them hang a flyer of an upcoming Filipino Heritage program at my library. I walked in apparently they had just got their power restored 10 mins before. I decided on the pancit and halo halo to go. Ok the halo halo was good. The pancit apparently was a mix of two different pancit, bihon and canton and it was topped with stripes of fried pork. Im a strictly bihon person. Now I know my people dish is heavy on garlic especially Adobe. But this had too much garlic. The vampires from Translyvannia could smell it. Ill be back for the halo halo though. I stick to making my own bihonpancit

    Mais Con Yelo

    if you're a real corn lover, you will enjoy the mais con yellow. crunchy ice, creamy ice cream and sweet corn kernels on the bottom. had a fun time eating and tasting it. tapsilog is sweet and savory shredded beef. can have some tougher bites but still good overall. parking situation hit or miss because its shared in a plaza. order through kiosk but the staff packing ur order are nice!

    This is a place a crave quite a bit but am not as close as I wish I was. I was introduced to tapsilog from a regular and local. At first I didn't think much just based off the location but I try to not judge a book by it's cover and actually try the food and then judge based off that. So this is a definitely must try spot for me. A hole in the wall that is too good to not try for yourself. The service is usually quick and very friendly. You could go and order in person which is a tablet, call in the order, or order online for pick up. All very quick and very efficient. The actual location is in a small shopping center but finding parking isn't that hard. I got the liemposilog. The pork belly is crispy and yummy. I always add condiments to my rice to give it some extra flavor like the vinegar and some chili oil for extra flavor if not you could also have it as is. The space is very open and great vibes inside. Overall I always can't wait to get back to the bay to get this for lunch. Check them out!!

    Corn Ice Cream

    First time here by chance, passing by. Didn't know this place has Filipino food. Cashier was super friendly & recommending different dishes. It's cafeteria style with Big screen. I ended up with Halo Halo and the Corn Ice Cream, rushing to see Super Bowl, lol. Will be back to try out their dishes! Thank you for being so friendly & courteous!

    Tapsilog
    Ryan B.

    Incredibly tasty food. Excellent Service. Solid atmosphere. Even with guests in the restaurant/being served, we received our order in under ten minutes. My Tapsilog was sweet, tangy, and cooked perfectly. The Halo Halo was also impeccable-- a unique concoction that is a must try when you come in. 5/5, I look forward to next time!

    Extra egg and a side of Longanisa. It was good.
    Mike L.

    Quick bite. Good Filipino rice plates. Asked to make my egg a bit runny and they did it great. I got the tosilog plate with added Longanisa 7.5/10

    Longsilog
    David F.

    Ohhh let me tell you about a place called Tapsilog Express! It's ever so good and never disappoints. I love the way they prepare the eggs. I love the flavor of the rice and the Longsilog and Tosilog are soooo freaking delicious! Best part is that unlike most places, when I have it delivered, it's still warm!! They give you a nice portion of rice so I recommend ordering another egg or two. Very friendly staff as well.

    I ordered for pick up and the food was ready right on time! This is a great place for silog cravings because they have so many options. My personal favorite is the tapsilog because the tapa is perfectly crisp and sweet. Minus one star because every time I go, I have to ring the bell since they don't notice when a customer walks in.

    WHAT IS a tapsilog plz?

    Maria R has it right but just to take it further. The dish has its roots in the Philippines, originating as a Breakfast meal that has evolved into a street food that can be eaten any time if the day, making it a great fast food item for restaurants.… Read more

When it came time to take food to go, we had to ask for the container, bags, and the right sized containers and the right sized bags. The older woman with the jet black hair was the one who rude and dismissive. When I asked her for a larger bag, she said that was the largest one. I pointed out that we gave them a very generous tip and that I see larger brown bags, but she still did not offer me one. She was very defensive, and said she thought I was referring to a plastic bag. Folks, don't make the mistake of over tipping here. You don't get the service you expect and deserve. The food is good though, but the service sucks! We spent, with the tip, about $240.

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.

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.
