    This was my first time ordering from Tapsilog Express and i will say i am very impressed!! We were greeted as we entered and had ordered through the Kiosk for togo. The kitchen staff was very friendly and welcoming. The food came out fast and while waiting we sat in the dining room, The vibes were very chill, with the occasional door dashers, What i thought was really cool was they had on the TV a slide show explaining what this style of food means! This is my first time eating this kind of food and it was delicious! The lumpia was crispy, the rice has an amazing taste on its own, and the seasoning for meats were perfect. Will definitely be returning here, and recommend to try!

    Authentic, quick, accommodating, and delicious Filipino food! It's a fast casual dining experience, and the ambiance reminded me of Vigan restaurants. With the similar wood like top tables, and the decore of different provinces. The food is really portioned well! Like each Silog box comes with rice, protein, and sauce! The food is tasty too! Not too salty, def not bland. And the flavors are a mixture of all the different provinces, and not just one style of Filipino cooking. They have halo halos tooo omg! Very hard to find a good halo halos these days in the Bay Area. Summer is coming so you def want to stop by for this! Drinks are house made , really refreshing. Plenty of parking in the lot. Kinda a hidden gem this spot is, because it's on a quiet street and plaza in San Leandro. I highly recommend catering with them! I am thinking about that soon!

    Filipino Breakfast served ALL DAY?!! I love this quick concept for Filipino food! Each silog plate is catered for one person, and comes with garlic rice and an egg. This is mostly a take out spot, where you order at the kiosk or can find them on delivery apps, but there are tables inside too if you prefer to dine in.  You know we had to get the Tosilog, which was really good and probably my favorite plate. I also like that they give packets of lemon juice and little cups of vinegar. I drenched my plates in that vinegar, soooo good lol. What we ordered: * Lumpia * Tapsilog * Tosilog * Longsilog * Bangsilog * Adobosilog * Pancit * Desserts - Halo-Halo & Mais Con Yelo

    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

    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.

    Tosilog

    During my lunch break, I got the Tosilog because I didn't get the chance to pack myself my regular homemade lunch. Thought this was a good chance to try out Tapsilog Express for the first time. As I was really excited to see a filipino restaurant in the area. However, about an 1.5hr back into work, I realized from my symptoms, I got food poisoning. I'll save the details for privacy reasons. From this, it extremely affected how I functioned for the rest of my shift. Only after visiting Yelp reviews to see it has 6 health violations already is concerning. I would hope the staff and team are taking more serious precautions to ensure proper food handling and safety.

    Perfection !

    Food was perfect! Staff kind and helpful. Will be back next time I'm in San Leandro. Thank you so much

    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!!

    Halo-Halo

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

    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!

    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.…

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.

    OMG. This is definitely one of those hole-in-the-wall places that completely surprises you…read more We came here because our friend Warren recommended it, and now I understand why. It's tucked away in Oakland in a spot you might easily drive past without noticing. The setup is simple: order at the window, get a vibrating pager, then pick up your food when it's ready. They also have outdoor seating, which is perfect if you're bringing your dog along. They offer all kinds of silog meals, and honestly, before coming here, I thought all silog places were pretty much the same. While standing in line, I had no clue what to order. The special that day was the G Fire Short Ribs, and I kept going back and forth between trying something new or playing it safe. I ended up getting the pork tocino silog, and for the second dish, I almost ordered the spare short ribs. Thank God I got the G Fire Wings instead. OMG. OMG. OMG. These are hands down the BEST wings I've had in the Bay Area. The skin is crispy and crunchy, but the moment you bite in, the meat is unbelievably juicy. Seriously, when do you ever get wings that are actually juicy? Most wings are dry. Not these. The flavor, the sauce, the seasoning--everything is absolutely incredible. It's the kind of food that makes you lick every finger afterward. If it were socially acceptable to eat the bones too, I probably would have. And here's the funny thing: while I was in line, it seemed like everyone ordering was getting the G Fire Wings. Now I know why. If this place were closer to where I live, I'd be here all the time. I'm still thinking about those wings days later. The good news is we go to Oakland at least once a month for hiking and camping, and now Lucky Three Seven is officially part of the tradition. It'll either be our reward after finishing a hike or our stop before heading to camp. Thank you, Warren, for recommending this place. You absolutely nailed it.

Everything was hot and crispy, the sauces were out of this world, and all the flavors blended together perfectly. And again--this was right before closing! No one acted annoyed or inconvenienced that we came in so late, and everything tasted fresh and made to order. The service, though... that's really where it shined. I wish I had everyone's name so I could thank them individually. I actually had fun--at a restaurant--spending money. Everyone was so nice. There were huge TVs above the bar with different sports games on, and free video games to play (I got my ass beat by my 5-year-old at Mortal Comabt ). Another customer, this stunningly gorgeous young woman, even offered me a taste of her Garlic Noodles. I was so jealous of how good her noodles were that I started second-guessing my own order. I'm not kidding--everyone was that friendly and happy. I will definitely be back with friends and family. They have a bunch of different events listed and a lot of outdoor space. It's such a hidden gem with BIG Bay Area energy. It felt like coming home after a terrible day to a good meal made by people who genuinely care. Thank you!!
