Filipino Restaurants near Berkeley, CA

“What a delightful place to stop and grab a delicious empanada or a boba drink. I just love the chicken adobo empanadas. The pastry is fresh, flaky, and crispy. The lightly spicy chicken and potato filling is tender and savory. So good. Be sure and try the house-made sweet chili sauce as well. For dessert, try the mango cheese cake empanada. It is tangy, fruity, rich with cream cheese and topped with a sugar-glazed crust. The prices are very affordable too!“

“The food smacks and the music they play always slaps.“

“The ladies are friendly and helpful. I was hesitant because I didn't know what to get and never been there. They were cute trying to describe what the items were, but I already knew hehe.

Five stars for my new favorite place for Dinuguan! The meat is tender and soft, there a hint of pepper, and it's sour but not overly so. They only use meat, there's none of the white stuff that's crunchy, thank goodness. I'm not Filipino so I'm not used to eating those parts.

Can't wait to have more!!

I only had silog so I can't comment on anything else at this time.“

“The food is good !! Love it 😍“

“I have to share a post from my favorite restaurant the FOB kitchen in Oakland. Chef Janice’s dishes are incredible. Being a queer person it is great to have a fantastic place to dine and feel safe and excepted. If you are in Oakland you have to try it. My favorite is the adobo and halo halo.“

“I came here with a friend one day for lunch (we had been looking forward to coming to Sarap Shop for a while and were finally able to align our schedules for a weekday, since the hours here are somewhat limited). I ordered the lechon carbonara since all of the dishes here with lechon appeared to be a popular choice online and this seemed like interesting take on dishes that were familiar to me, a fusion of Italian carbonara and Filipino lechon. To be honest, the dish was a tad too oily and salty for my preferences, but also so tasty! I ended up finishing most of it and bringing the rest home since it was a generous portion and a good balance of toppings/mix-ins and noodles. I'd look forward to ordering it again in the future.

The location was a bit... uncertain at first. Sarap Shop is located down a side street off of 4th St which is convenient if you're heading down to a game or concert. I went there from 3rd St and was a bit confused since it just looked like a residential area, but there it was! The red garage door (see other people's pics) was open so the business was indeed open, but my friend and I were confused at first since there was no one inside and it took a moment to realize we needed to order by QR code online. That was all fine, just a bit unexpected. (Other customers and delivery drivers that came in after us looked similarly confused by all the closed doors and closed serving windows inside, so perhaps they just need better signage for these cases?)

Overall a good experience and I look forward to another visit here and the chance to try something new :)“

“I recently had the pleasure of experiencing exceptional service at Tipunan. Not only is their cuisine absolutely delightful, but their commitment to customer satisfaction is unparalleled. We had a large catering order for an early morning event, and they graciously opened an hour early just to accommodate us-!

The party tray was beautifully arranged and the food was nothing short of spectacular, showcasing their dedication to Filipino quality and flavor. From the freshness of the ingredients to the exquisite presentation, it was evident that they take great pride in their craft. We ordered the Chicken BBQ Skewers, the Lumpia, and the Vegetarian Pancit, every tray filling our guests with absolute quality.

The staff was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to ensure that our order was nothing short of PERFECT. Their willingness to be flexible and accommodating truly sets them apart from other establishments.

If you're looking for a restaurant that combines exceptional service with mouth-watering Filipino dishes, look no further than Tipunan. Highly recommended, and it gets the Oregano seal of approval!

Vegetarian options: The Vegetarian Pancit was filling and powerful!“

“The service was very fast and friendly and I would have to say that the Dinuguan was amazing“
