Filipino Restaurants near Marina, CA

“Yes, this is the old Lola's Kusina but it's not. It's brighter inside and there's some new owners or at least some new management. It's amazing what some paint and lighting can do. It's like the same menu but all of the entrées we bought tonight were less salty and still tasted delicious. Both the chicken and pork adobo were tender and seasoned well. The pancit was moist not dried out like a lot of places. This is new, made in house garlic chili crisp. They spooned me up a small sample and it was delicious. Oh, it's made with olive oil...nice. Super nice couple running the show, fast with answers to food questions and genuine with see you agains. Last words...that's a lot of food!“

“A hidden gem! My husband and I happened in for early dinner on a Thurs evening. We had originally tagged a seafood place down the street and it was crowded, loud and lacked ambiance. We turned back to Edwin's because I had noticed the sign earlier and decided to try it because it looked quaint and quiet. There was only one table seated, but the menu looked promising and the venue inviting, so we decided to chance it. The staff were attentive and delightful. The wine and beer selection was a little limited but apt. We opted for a glass of Chardonnay which was surprisingly good and paired well with our curry seafood dish with crispy garlic rice. It was a culinary delight! We were getting ready to head out and saw local talent getting ready to play and decided to stay and check it out. He too, was a delight with ample easy listening repertoire--perfect for small venue. We have a pet peeve of musicians playing too loud in a small venue (most often the case) and this guy was great and dialed in perfectly, resulting in a relaxing evening of great food and music. Don't miss this spot for a lovely fusion twist on local food fare.“
