SunRice Cafe is a great Filipino breakfast spot. The service is very friendly and the atmosphere is casual.The food was extremely good-- with our favorite items being the tocino and fried bangus (fish). Every silog came with a generous portion of delicious garlic rice, and the eggs were perfectly done (thoroughly cooked whites with runny yolk). The coffee was hot and fresh, with refills available-- but better to drink black as there is no real milk available.We will definitely be coming back, as Filipino breakfast is one of those meals you crave. We love that SunRice Cafe has such good food and is much closer than Daily City / San Bruno restaurants.

I am SO GLAD this place is so close to where I work !! This is the ultimate comfort food to get after a long week at work. What we ordered: Chicken Adobo Tocilog Tapsilog Longanisa Lumpia Safe to say, we cleaned these dishes out REAL QUICK. No grain of rice was left behind. The flavors were really good and I'm already craving another serving as I type up this review. FYI - they didn't miss with the garlic rice absolutely drool-worthy! The sweetest lady took my order - I wanna say she was the owner but I'm not sure. The food didn't take long at all and I could tell it was cooked with love. Felt like I was getting a warm hug after a long day. Definitely would recommend - go support your local small businesses!!

Great Filipino Breakfast, they do not have "Barako" a Filipino Coffee, or any coffee, I guess you can bring your own coffee. I would have given 4 stars because of the coffee but the Tapsilog and Tosilog was so great so I have decided giving 5 stars anyway.Note, if you like well done longanisa, you have to say so when you order.

This is the place for some home cooked filipino meals. My family and I were staying in Belmont while visiting my sister. We ordered the tapsilog, bansilog, longsilog and the tosilog. The whole -silog term is just meaning "with egg" in case you're wondering. They serve each -silog with garlic rice which is nearly a staple for filipino breakfasts. They were all friggin' delicious. The tapsilog and tosilog was a little fatty and chewy for me but my wife loved it. Bansilog was a hit with the kids and I. We went during the second surge of the pandemic so dine-in wasn't an option. The place is really small but you can definitely tell it is family owned. The people here are super friendly and polite. Please be courteous of any restaurant owners (especially family owned businesses) who are struggling during the pandemic to cook many orders without much help. This family was definitely working it! I will definitely come back if we every stay in Belmont again! Filipino pride.

Small mom-and-pop Filipino restaurant with good sized portions and yummy food. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. I've gotten their tosilog a few times, which is always very yummy. I tried their chicken arroz caldo recently as well, and it was packed with flavor! It's a very large portion so I still had maybe 2/3 of the bowl for leftovers. They are open for indoor dining now. They are only open for breakfast and lunch, but they do get busy! It was packed when I went on a Sunday around noontime. If you are trying to place a to-go order over the phone but they don't pick up, just be patient since they do seem to be a little understaffed. I ended up placing the order when I got there, and it was about a 15 min wait for food. There is limited street parking right out front, with some more street parking spots on the side street.

First time here and found my go-to spot now for basic comfort food! From customer service to presentation of the flavorful food and dessert (halo-halo), it was all far from disappointment. Came here earlier today on a quiet Saturday afternoon so there was ample street parking on the road perpendicular to the busy El Camino Real. The relaxed ambience of the small mom&pops restaurant is popular with good Yelp ratings. SunRICE only offers take-out and no dine-in. (In compliance with county health rules---if a restaurant is found to have one Covid case, a business will be forced to shut down. SunRICE had signs encouraging social distancing, no dine-in and open ventilation inside the establishment and even kitchen.) I didn't get the lady's name who took my order over the phone, but she sounded very friendly and culturally sensitive---she kept referring to me as "ma'am" even after I told her it was appreciated, but wasn't necessary (bc I was young at heart.) Probably the same cashier who greeted me and the laughter and smiles continued while I paid at the front counter. So polite she even offered to help me carry my order to my car. I ordered Bansilog (#7): 2 perfectly fried sunny-side-up eggs, lightly fried and browned Bangus (milkfish), mouthwatering Garlic fried rice, 10 pieces of flavorful lumpia and yummy halo-halo. Everything inhaled once it arrived home. Definitely recommend SunRICEto everyone for something flavorful and light to start your day, you won't be disappointed!

Finally made it to this cafe and definitely did not disappoint. My friend and I both had the Bangsilog (bangus, siningag, itlog - fried milkfish with garlic fried rice and fried egg), got mine as a combo with Tocilog (tocino - marinated pork), and we shared halo-halo with ube ice cream too. They also gave us some sinigang soup on the side. Everything was good, very reasonably priced, and Rose was a fabulous host. Will definitely come back here again.

I love coming here! Your local neighborhood Filipino food! And it's masarap! The people who run this place are awesome and warm and friendly. My favorite is tapsilog with extra meat. Going to try the halo halo today. The pricing is really reasonable and keeps me coming back! Very happy that this is in my neighborhood and I don't have to drive to Daly City for my Filipino food fix.

They are never open no matter what day I go. If hours have changed it should be posted updated online

Great Filipino breakfast with authenticity and good customer service. Had breakfast here today while waiting for my car to be serviced at Big-O- Tires. It's a straight forward menu with the basics. Will come here again if ever craving A Filipino breakfast.

Cannot go wrong with Filipino breakfast. Location: The cafe itself does not have a parking lot but there is plenty of free street parking in the area. Their cafe is just a small shop that has a couple of tables to eat in. You can order to-go at this restaurant. Food: Their food is very good. Very authentic and has a lot of flavor. The portions they give you are pretty decent for the price you pay. A combo plate is less than $15 and you can choose up to two items. Service: Cannot have bad service and a ma and pa shop. They are super friendly and sweet. If you dine in, you pay after you eat. They bring your food to the table and they put them in to-go containers if you have any leftovers. Overall, I really enjoy this place and will definitely be going again when I am in the area.

They have food that I CRAVE FOR and friendly service I can rely on. There is authenticity here that is so deserving of our patronage in the community. My go-to/comfort food is Arroz Caldo so when I can't visit my nanay, I've got SunRice Cafe! P.S. They serve Champorado?? YES PLEASE -- Che Che
