Their adobong pusit is very good—the right balance of sour, salt, umami, and spice (they add red chili peppers)! My complaint is their inaccessible bathroom. This is a public eatery so they should make it available for customers. The bathroom has been closed off since Christmas 2024, if I recall!
Love this place, the lady that often serves the food and works the register has helped feed me when I had no money so many times I’ll forever be grateful for that.
It feels like Christmas Everytime I eat here. Auntie and Uncle cooking up Pure Filipino hospitality and food. Great selection wonderful home style cooking. Once you try it you'll be back. Please stop by and take a seat you will enjoy your first experience.
I recommend you try the chicken adobo over rice and banana Taron for desert.

Manila Eatery is a Filipino restaurant that has been a go-to spot for many families, known for its comfort food and friendly service. The dishes feature consistent flavors, and the restaurant offers a great selection of home-style cooking, making it a welcoming place for dining. It feels like Christmas every time someone visits, with Auntie and Uncle cooking up Pure Filipino hospitality. The restaurant is a typical turo-turo with minimal ambiance and dishes that customers point to for ordering.
While there have been some negative comments about food quality and portion sizes, many diners appreciate the comforting food. For example, the rice is soft and fluffy, making it a good match for any of their entrees. The restaurant offers popular items like chicken adobo over rice and banana Taron for dessert.
There have been concerns regarding cleanliness, particularly with inaccessible bathrooms due to shelving. Some meals, such as the garlic rice, have been described as mushy and underseasoned, and the egg was noted as overcooked. Additionally, the portion size of a $15 combo plate was considered small, with only two tiny scoops of rice.
On a positive note, Manila Eatery offers a reasonable price for delicious lumpia shanghai, which comes in a 100-piece order for $40. The lumpia is rolled tight and fried to a golden-brown, crunchy deliciousness. The staff is friendly, and the service is consistent, but there is room for improvement in food quality and portion sizes. Overall, Manila Eatery is a clean mom-and-pop spot that many find comforting and worth returning to.
