Filipino Restaurants near Hayward, CA

“Excellent desserts including Halo Halo; Mamon; etc. My friends from Arizona are hoping that a store opens up in Chandler, AZ or Gilbert, AZ.“

“tastiest Cebu lechon ever“

“First time coming to PhilHouse and first time authentic Filipino food. 27 years of visiting America and never once enjoyed the delights of Filipino food. that's why I enjoy bite after bite while looking for similarities with Indonesian food where I come from, the taste is similar. I have to admit that Filipino food is delicious, according to my taste as an Asian. I will come back to PhilHouse when I visit San Francisco. God bless PhilHouse“

“The quality and authenticity of the food here are no joke. The food is served cafeteria-style where you pick and choose the items you want. The temperature of certain items can be hit/miss. It seems like the items towards the bottom of the trays are warmer in temperature. The sinigang I choose had an appropriate temperature to me while the fried rice and tocino were a tad bit on the lukewarm/room temp side. Besides the temperature, the taste of the food reminded me of home. I really enjoyed the Pork Sinigang and Pork Adobo that I ordered. The portion size was a tad bit on the smaller side but the price was reasonable. ~$12 for a 2 choice combo. The cashier was hospitable and kind. I will definitely come back to order other items in hopes that I get the dishes I want when they are fresh and hot!“

“Great atmosphere, lovely variety of people. Filipinos behind the cash registers are very helpful, informative and positive energy. I highly recommend coming just for the food court. I wasn't even aware it was a grocery store till my bf mentioned it. Lol. All the hot food and restaurants threw me off. We came from Modesto and there's no places like this there for good Filipino food. So we are very pleased to be here and get to eat all types of Filipino food. We hit up the Jollibees in here and it was great.“

“The food is good !! Love it 😍“

“I know this restaurant has been around for 20 years but it was my 1st time here. The food tastes authentic, service is great. Some people say the servings are small but they are actually just right. I had their lomi (for take out) and had their halo-halo, inihaw na bangus for a late lunch. Was worth the trip. Will definitely be back.“

“It’s a hole in a wall. I ordered the adobo pusit, bansilog, sinigang broth and tocilog on two different occasions. None took away my breath. They were mediocre. The same as the surrounding Filipino restaurants. However, the owners’ friendliness and genuineness were apparent. Both sisters on two separate occasions, stopped at my table and engaged in a warm conversation, making me feel like a beloved family. I felt like I was being served at Nobu. I asked if they had coffee and she said she can make me one, which was not part of the menu, plus it was’t included on the final check. The black pipping hot coffee was in a paper dixie cup, but tasted better than coffee in Brazil. This personalized and attentive service ensured a positive experience, despite the food.

Overall, this hole in the wall offers a welcoming atmosphere and friendly owners. The food might not be the primary draw, but it’s a great choice if seeking a comfortable spot with excellent customer interactaction.“

“Foods are really good! One of our fave comfort Filipino food resto.“

“My experience was a mixed bag. The food was undeniably delicious, but my interaction with a male matured server/cashier left a sour taste in my mouth.

All the dishes were truly impressive. Each bite was a flavor explosion and equally scrumptious. The place knows what it's doing.

However, things took a turn for the worse when this matured server/cashier came over to my table. While I appreciate enthusiasm, this owner's brand of passion crossed into intrusive territory. He dominated the conversation. The real kicker came when he started micromanaging my dining experience, insisting I order fewer dishes and serve them on plastic containers. He said I wouldn’t be able to eat them all. I order two dishes so I can take it to go. I replied to him I could’ve eaten at McDonalds, but I want to eat on real plates and use real utensils.
Newsflash: if I'm capable of using a fork without guidance, let me enjoy my meal in peace!

While the food was great, the server/owner's overbearing demeanor put a damper on what could have been a fantastic dining experience. If Toppings Two Union City can work on striking a balance between attentive service and respecting customers' boundaries, I'd be more than happy to give them a glowing review. Until then, I'll recommend the food, but with a caveat: be prepared for a side of attitude.“

“I give all five bc i loved the food i loved the Service of how nice he was, and the atmosphere ofc yes it was soo good, and by the way im Rahil and my mom grandma and my siblings came and we came today at 2;36 i think and came out at 3;47!

“Customer Service 👍👍👍👍🔥 Food 👍👍👍👍🔥 Thankful and was Blessed to eat some delicious Food. Came from Vallejo to eat at one spot and then ended up here.. Great Choice!!!“

“The food here is amazing. You definitely get more than your money's worth. The owner is also very kind and the cook does an amazing job. Its definitely a must try. I love the inviting atmosphere. I always get the fried chicken, the pansit and the lumpia. They have their own special recipe that can't be duplicated. If I could give a thousand stars I would. This family owned restaurant is definitely a staple in the community.“

“We had the Halo-Halo, Tortatalong, Beef Pata, and Vegetable Lumpia—each dish was piping hot and ready in just 20 minutes. The flavors brought us right back to the Philippines! Every bite was rich, authentic, and perfectly seasoned. Whether you're craving a taste of home or want to experience the best of Filipino cuisine, Pistahan is a must-visit. We can't recommend it enough, and we can't wait to go back!“
