They are flaky, crisp, and well-prepared, but not as flavorful as Lam's. The Chicken Adobo was very tender and yummy. The flavor was more subtle than I anticipated, but it was a nice mild dish. The pork sticks were a little tough and overcooked, but the char and the glaze was delicious. The shrimp were fresh and light, but again didn't have a lot of flavor. The Boba tea is just as you would expect, with nice springy Boba. The Turon dessert could benefit from a warm caramel sauce or something, I ended up drizzling a little Carolina Reaper Jalapeño Peach sauce on them, which helped to brighten them up.

It was well worth the drive all the way down to Surfside. The lumpia is rolled to order and he has some creative ideas for nontraditional lumpia filling. The rice was cooked perfectly and the siding was masarap! It was so good I ended up getting a second order to go so I could have it again for dinner. The owner was great fun to chat with, and the whole vibe is very Filipino family. I will definitely make at least one visit down here every time we come down to visit.

Started by two friends who wanted to open a restaurant serving food inspired by the Philippines,…read morethe Manila Grille is located in Deerfield Plaza, between downtown Myrtle Beach and Murrells Inlet. They are only open from 2 - 8 pm on Wed - Sat, so my wife and I made it a point to go there around 3 on a Thursday. We were the only customers during that time, and got to speak at length with Mike, the co-owner. We really enjoyed it, though their pricing could be altered to be more consistent. The plaza and surrounding area isn't much to look at, and the Grille is not visible from the road. One really has to make an effort to get here. We really liked how the inside was decorated, with a mishmash of Filipino culture on one side (including a pretty good mural of Manny Pacquaio) and a large nature scene (painted by Mike) that gets added to with cinema characters when he gets inspired (examples being Chunk from the Goonies, Sebastian from the Little Mermaid, and my favorite: Frank Dux from Bloodsport). There is even an official arm wrestling setup at one of the dining tables, inspired by the movie 'Over the Top'. Drinks are strictly cans (soda for $2) and bottles. The menu is very focused, nothing too complicated, and very tasty. They were out of the wings and burger that afternoon, but we were here for the Filipino entrees so there were no issues. Lumpia Meal ($13.99) - comes with your choice of three lumpia and rice. What's a little disheartening is that the price of the meal is actually higher than if you ordered the items individually ($11.96 : lumpia and one scoop of rice are all $2.99 each) Regardless of the reason, that's not a consumer friendly thing at all. I really liked the variety of the lumpia, which had been fried very well (crunchiness is always good). The gyro was different, with the side of tzatziki sauce adding a lot of flavor. My favorite was the TNA (Taters and Adobo), the mix worked really well. What I thought would work well (the bulgogi mac n cheese) was OK, probably because there wasn't much filling or flavor. Chicken Adobo Meal ($13.99) - no pork adobo today, so got the chicken. It was OK, decent flavor, but small amounts of chicken breast. We added a pork skewer for $2.99. It had been glazed with banana ketchup and grilled over an open flame. Street BBQ Skewers ($13.99) - liked the pork skewers, so got three more in a meal. It has the same addition problem (individually priced, it adds up to $11.96, less than the meal). The meat pieces on these seemed even smaller, and some of the cuts were grisly. Mike did suggest I get the small fruit salad for dessert ($1.49) and it was good. Reminded me of halo halo, except smaller and without the beans. Lumpia is definitely the thing to get here.

So when we came to Myrtle Beach for our family vacation one of the things I really wanted to try was some great authentic whole hog Carolina BBQ. This is the place. I remember seeing Scott's come up on a few shows I had watched and I also saw Rodney on a few YouTube videos, so I was excited to try it out. There's a lot of history here. The staff here are all very welcoming and super friendly. The young women behind the counter were all very helpful. For food we went with the bbq plate, rib plate, and chicken plate. All of the meats were tender and delicious. In this region of Carolina the sauce is primarily a vinegar pepper sauce which I really enjoyed. The tables are set up in the perfect spot, right outside the hanger where they cook the meats... so all the delicious smells from the smoke and meats come wafting through. It's a great experience. My hats off to the staff and family for all their hard work and dedication to the craft. The foods delicious and made with love. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for some great whole hog bbq. Thanks again!

Before before getting to the food, the space was inviting and had a lot of cool touches. And the service was great! My wife, youngest, and I shared a number of plates. Some of the first include included the Kinilaw, the Lumpia, and the Laing. The Kinilaw is a yellow tuna dish. The tuna melted in your mouth and the flavors from the coconut-leche dressing, ginger, and jalapeño, as well as the fresh mint, added to the flavor palette. I didn't try the Lumpia because it is skinny spring rolls made with ground pork. My wife and youngest said they were great in really enjoyed the taste. The Laing was a vegetable dish involving creamy brace kale with garlic, ginger, and coconut milk. Of course it sounds different and it was, but in a really good way. Again, the way the flavors worked together was really great. The last dish we got was the Curry. It is grilled red snapper with braised, mung beans, tempura sweet potatoes over coconut red curry sauce and rice. It was so good. Again, the flavors in this dish were amazing. The fish was cooked just right. And the way the dish worked together was a piece of culinary art. They also had cool cocktails, good beers, and even mocktails for our teenager. Our experience at Kultura was better than we even expected from looking at the menu online. If you find yourself in Charleston, do yourself a favor and check this place out.

He explained every dish to us since we were not familiar with Filipino food. Everything looked and smelled delicious. We got small samples of every item on the menu. Everything was delicious and I am assuming authentic but I have never been to the Philippines. The pork sisig was a little salty. Water and sweet tea are included in the price of the buffet. Drinks from the refrigerator which are bottled or canned or extra. Pleasant little dining room. Everything was very clean and organized. Several dessert items were included but we were really full from the entrees. We had some cantaloupe that was really good and fresh and flavorful.

The atmosphere is no-frills, think bar/cafe, so don't expect fancy fine dining. And if you're inclined...you can buy lotto tickets before you leave. Definitely a place to stop in and grab some priced-right, comfort food. Adding Luz's to my weekly lunch stop.
