My family’s been coming to Villa Manila for years and are never disappointed. The kamayans are delicious and generous, but my favorite dishes are the kare kare and their fried chicken. The chicken tocino is great, too. We also hold community events here and the staff take good care of us. If you are dining here casually, it may take a while if they’re busy cause they do prepare things fresh. It’s worth the wait though!

Our sister in law was visiting from out of town and was craving Filipino comfort food before heading back to Texas. We recommended, Villa Manila Restaurant, which did not disappoint. They had a great selection of food. We ordered the Meat lover Silog, Tapa and longanisa Silog, Bangus, eggplant torta, lechon lewali,and a chicken adobo bowl that came with garlic fried rice and a vegetable lumpia. Everthing was delicious,with good size portions. The service was great and our server...
