    Combo meal of beef kaldareta and bopis
    Patrick L.

    This restaurant is located inside H‑E‑B. They have seating areas after ordering. This is a "turo turo" (point point) style like in a cafeteria where you point to the dish you want. This is a no frills place that offers delicious food. They offer Philippine dishes including the popular lechon (suckling pig) belly only on Saturdays and Sundays. We ordered the combo meal with beef kaldereta (beef short ribs stew) and bopis (minced pork innards). They have a lot more selections including vegetable dishes, skewers, egg rolls, etc. This is one of our go to places when we are craving for Filipino food. They also offer specialty drinks like sago gulaman, halo halo, and calamansi juice Service is quick. There are plenty of Philippine native food products on the shelves for sale. Try them out if you are in the area.

    First time trying Filipino food, and it was so good!! I didn't even know this place existed until I saw an instagram reel. I've been inside of this HEB before, but I never noticed the restaurant, probably because the times that I went it was already closed since it was late at night. There wasn't really a menu, so I just went with the classics - chicken adobo and chicken lumpia. The chicken was super flavorful and tender. The chicken lumpia was so crunchy and delicious. It comes with a dipping sauce. Once I got to the bottom of the styrofoam box though, I realized some of the styrofoam had melted, most likely because they had freshly fried the rolls and placed it into the box, so it was piping hot. As I was waiting for my chicken lumpia to come out, I noticed that people usually just order the combo meal which is 2 entrees with a side of rice for $10.99. They have a bunch of protein to choose from. I'll definitely try that next time. The halo halo was everything I imagined it to be. It was so creamy and not too overly sweet. It was refreshing! There's a ton of different toppings at the bottom- red bean, flan, fruit jellies, etc. The ube ice cream was great, and it gave the drink the nice purple color. This spot was pretty busy at the hour I went, but the wait time wasn't too bad since I was having a conversation with a friendly customer. I'll be back again!

    Located inside of HEB! The food is masarap. Very good food and location. You can grab some grocery and a meal for the day. We stopped in for Brekky after our cruise and really enjoyed it.

    Had lunch with a friend who knows Cebu Lechon. It's my first time here, tucked away inside an HEB grocery store. The menu boasts a wide variety of choices, from classic sinigang to comforting tinola. The ambiance isn't fancy, but the servings are generous and the flavors are surprisingly delightful. They also offer whole Lechon for catering, which I've savored at events and parties. Definitely worth a try...

    Hidden gem inside HEB! I can't believe it took me this long to try To-Go Cafe, but it was well worth it. They have all day Filipino breakfast plates, and I like the Cornsilog with Garlic Rice and the Bangsilog, so delicious and reminds me of a home cooked meal. They have many lunch plate options and generous portions as well. Try their Lechon or Lechon Kawali which is also seasoned well and crispy. I also really enjoyed the Pan de Ube (sweet Ube filled rolls), they are soft, fluffy, and the creamy Ube filling is yummy and the best I've had in Houston. The customer service is very friendly and quick, and they also have a small dining area for your quick lunch. To-Go cafe is a must stop if you're in the area and wanting Filipino food. You can even make a grocery run afterwards while you're at it!

    Real Filipino (Phillipino) comida food!! Large assortment of tasty foods and pastries too. Made fresh and ready to eat or take-out!! Conveniently located inside a HEB store so you can get your shopping experience done and grab some chow!! Filipinos eating here and making the comida in the back room!! Authentic dishes and pretty good pricing for the portions!! Yummy Yummy for Super Friday before Turkey day!!

    It's inside so get your food to go

    If you want "To Go" and find some great Filipino food, look no further. Located inside one of the worst H-E-B locations you could ever visit, this is actually a pretty good Filipino food place, in fact it can be amazing, and one which I tend to stop by now and again, usually with my girlfriend. And while it's not some kind of gourmet Filipino restaurant, not that you'd want it to be as these little stands usually have the best food, it definitely has some treats and some interesting homemade snacks that are well worth the try. In fact, all things considered, I would say this is literally the only reason we will ever come inside such a bad grocery store again.

    Pancit, chicken skewer & rice
    Bobby G.

    Excellent Filipino food with tons of flavor and a very reasonable price. Don't be swayed because this restaurant is inside HEB, it's well worth the visit. The food was all fresh and very flavorful! Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed our meal and we had leftovers to take home with us! We waited for some fresh lumpia and it was definitely hot & fresh, but a little heavy on the shrimp. It made it a bit fishy. Overall, the food, service and atmosphere were great and we will definitely be back when we are in the area.

    Caldereta and Lechon
    Maria D.

    Came here as soon as I got back in town! As usual food is great but the caldereta seemed bland today. It wasn't as flavorful and vibrantly colored as before. I also got tge lechon paksiw and it was awesome! Hubby got the tocilog and he loved it! I will def come back again to see if the old style caldereta comes back

    Michelle L.

    AUTHENTIC!!! Def a good fix for my Filipino food away from my Dad's cooking! Prices are pretty good for the big servings! Plentiful to choose from and ready to eat! Come hungry, leave full!!!

    Great filipino food located inside an HEB. Love that they offer Filipino breakfast all day long. The prices are cheap and love the variety they offer. Fast service! Best place to order party trays too.

    chicken wings and french fries

    Been looking for solid Filipino food. This place blows Max's away. I left very satisfied and comforted. This is going to be my go to Filipino spot. Highly recommend.

    Mrs and & I finally made it back to this Filipino cafeteria inside the HEB to try some of the steam table offerings. We went with pork sisig (meat from the head including the ears), veggie pancit (clear noodle), and BBQ pork skewers. We shared with our youngest daughter. Everything were seasoned and cooked well. All the proteins were tender. The family believed this shack has the best tasting Filipino steam table foods in Houston. Lots of options were available. Prices were similar to other steam table shacks. Service was friendly and efficient. Youngest daughter wants to try breakfast plates in the future.

My BMP calamansi margarita was distinct in its tanginess. Tried the veggie lumpias and brussel sprouts. The lumpias had tangy dipping sauce that might have been dominated by calamansi. More tang than savory. The brussel sprouts were standard but had a good portion. I tried to detect whether they used fish sauce but I couldn't tell. Ordered the daing na bangus (milkfish) as my entree. They gave me the whole fish and it threw me off that it was mostly deboned since I kept looking for the bones with my tongue and teeth. Fish was nice and crispy and the dipping sauce was more savory than what came with the lumpias. The garlic rice that came with the dish was smoky from that wok hay. Probably could have used a little more soy sauce for flavouring. My favourite dish was the turon dessert (fried bananas) along with the ube ice cream. The coconut sauce they used seemed more like caramel. I haven't eaten much Filipino food so I wasn't sure how authentic the dishes were. I was expecting a little more intensity in the flavours, and I don't know if it was toned down for their customers. There were around ten customers that night. The inside was beautiful and they have a two level patio that is perfect for nights like these. The service was very nice and the kitchen was faster than I expected.

Chef Bham (previously from Alinea, amongst a few other baller restaurants) is a literal genius. The menu was a really thoughtful ode to various Filipino dishes with a little twist on each. You get the comforting tapsilog and taho that you might have grown up with alongside interesting flavors and ideas. Pandesal made into a tart crust, kinilaw made with daikon and beef...they also are very good at keeping in mind dietary restrictions: I was the annoying halal option, but, man did my experience rock. Pork belly replaced with enoki mushrooms or octopus, and the dish was still amazing. My sister was unfortunately gluten free, but still able to enjoy every bite.

Also the fried rice with Wagyu, quail egg and topped with caviar was fantastic. Great texture and presentation. Service was impeccable. Chef Bham and the staff were deeply knowledgeable and genuinely passionate. Every glass was topped off before we even noticed. You could tell they weren't just serving food but also they were part of the storytelling. This experience deserves every bit of praise. If you're looking for something beyond the usual dining. Truly unforgettable. I'll be talking about this night for a long time.

The space is massive and surprisingly comfortable, making it a great place to hang out if you're a foodie who likes options. There are indoor courtyards and even a rooftop with nice decor and city views--but I'll save my full POST Houston thoughts for another review. Now, onto Soy Pinoy, because this is where my senses officially took over. What pulled me in wasn't a sign or a menu--it was the aroma. The kind that makes you slow your walk and start scanning to see where it's coming from. Then I saw the display. They had several dishes laid out front and center, plated beautifully on banana leaves, looking crisp, golden, and downright tempting. At that point, it felt less like choosing food and more like being chosen by it. I ordered two dishes. The pork dish was fine--no complaints--but it didn't really wow me. Solid, but not something I'd rush back for. The real star was the whole fried red snapper. I loved that I actually got to pick the fish myself from the display up front, which already sets the tone for freshness. It came out perfectly breaded and fried to a crisp, with great crunch on the outside while the fish inside stayed tender and flavorful. It was served with a side of rice and a fish sauce with Thai chilies that really elevated the whole dish--salty, spicy, and just what it needed to cut through the richness. This is absolutely something I would order again without hesitation. Overall, Soy Pinoy knows exactly how to grab your attention--and more importantly, how to deliver when it counts. If you're walking through POST Houston hungry, good luck resisting this place. I tried... and clearly failed.
