Filipino Restaurants near Marina, CA

“Small and tucked away in a shopping center, this non-assuming little hole in the wall is easy to miss. But trust me, you do not want to.

I had dropped off my truck to have repairs done and was waiting on my ride. I hadn’t had breakfast and just wanted a small snack to tide me over. Walking by, I smelled the most delicious odoriferous scents emanating from this culinary oasis. I went inside and was greeted immediately. They were still preparing everything for the day, but seemed happy to see me. I had a simply order of just four pork lumpia to go. The cost: $5!! What an incredible bargain in today’s capitalistic free for all! I salivated at all the other food that was ready, but I knew the lumpia would fulfill me. I cannot wait to bring my wife back! BTW, the lumpia were divine!“

“Phenomenal service and food! We were there on visiting for Christmas holiday when Carmel had a major power outage the day after the storm. But despite that challenging situation, Edwin's staff made sure they prepared the food on time, with superb quality and service. Just outstanding on all fronts in the midst of a challenging situation. If you want a true experience of Filipino-Indonesian taste & quality of food and hospitality in Carmel/Monterey area, Edwin's the place to go. Their Kare-Kare is the best! (I know--we're Filipinos and I'm a homegrown cook. =))“
