Filipino Restaurants near Newark, CA

“Isla offers authentic Filipino cuisine featuring classic dishes crafted with traditional flavors. The sisig was expertly prepared, crispy around the edges, and bursting with savory goodness. The kare-kare pork was tender and flavorful, served with a rich peanut-based sauce and crispy vegetables. Servers are attentive, prompt, and knowledgeable about the menu. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with cozy decor and lively music creating a welcoming atmosphere—definitely the best place to gather with friends and families for an enjoyable Filipino dining experience.“

“Great food. I loved the pancit, but they were out of Adobe.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious food and friendly staffs“

“Still the best Filipino food in the bay area. I still love the grill pork tocino and the pinakbet can go wrong with the Java rice. There a lot more to choose from the menu like the combo meals. The place is small you might have to wait to be seated but worth the wait . It's definitely a must try.“

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

“Excellent food and service! They do full service catering! The best!“

“tastiest Cebu lechon ever“

“This is the platonic ideal of a cafe! When I'm home I put on ambient music from YouTube to try to capture this vibe: jazz playing, rustic decor, relaxing outdoor seating, a pot of tea or a cappuccino cooling. We will definitely be regulars.

It's open from early into the morning to late at night. The food is not just continental, but a diverse mix, which is normally a bad sign, but here its the perfect mix: from an exquisite absolutely massive Turkish breakfast representing the owner's culture (with a delicious pot of Indian tea), to hard-to-find Phillipino food, likely the chef's. There's also Afgan food, with kebab's in a far larger serving size than any place around.

What a wonderful place to work, go on a date, coffee or breakfast with a friend, or take the family.“

“Pork sisig silog sarap……..“

“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“

“Excellent food and service! They do full service catering! The best!“

“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.“

“Stanford in campus counter style cafe offering a blend of Southeast Asian flavours. One has to lower expectations given that this is within the university and caters to a diverse set of diners, so the tastes are milder vs the local Asian staples. A good representation nonetheless of Asian cuisine. The dining area is soley outdoors but relatively clean and provides a good campus spot to have ones meal and to meet up. No toilets available.

Vegetarian options: Counter style gives you options but ask servers on specific ingredients used

Parking: Stanford University parking system in effect while free parking lots are further situated with the use of free shuttles

Kid-friendliness: Ample options for kid's tastes

Wheelchair accessibility: Spacious seating outdoors but ordering has to be done by counter“

“People skills friendly and cleanliness“

“Wonderful service and food, I'll be back 😋“

“Palabok is my fave….. so good.“

“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.“
