Filipino Restaurants near Pleasant Hill, CA

“This place is huge compared to the other Isla restos. Food is authentic and delicious. You can never go wrong with their kare kare and lechon kawali. Service is fast, attentive and friendly. I can imagine this being so busy during the weekends so we went early on a Sunday morning to avoid the crowds.

Our other favorites are the sisig, bistek bangus and grilled pusit. One of our favorite Filipino restos in the East Bay.“

“great food and wonderful employees.“

“We walked past by this spot last time and I made it a point to come try it out. Maymay’s is co-located with another business (Yi-Fangs). I think the Ats very smart each business’ customers will likely check-out both spots. The staff were all friendly, they greet you with a smile as you come in.

There’s only a few tables inside, it’s not very big. When it’s busy be prepared to grab and go as there might not be a place to sit and eat.

The food is good. We ordered the pork adobo and arroz Caldo from the food menu and Ube latte and Thai tea from their drink menu. All very good. I like their version of the pork adobo. The meat was tender has a bit of sweetness to it. The egg in it though was a bit overcooked (tasted dry). And the egg in the arrow Caldo was not warm. Also, they gave me lime vs. lemon for the arroz Caldo and it was in the dish. I’d rather have that in the side so that I don’t have to fish it out of the bowl. Couldn’t squeeze anything out of the lime :D.

The drinks were very good! My Ube was made with standard sweetness (and it wasn’t too sweet) which I loved and it tasted so creamy!!!

I’m giving my overall experience 4stars because customer service was great, the food was good, and you get a big serving for the price you pay. I will have to come back and try their onigiris.“

“best slap yo momma bbq around.“

“I heard from friends and family that the halo halo here was good and so worth it. I had to try for myself. And yes they were right!!! It was huge!!! And not a bad price too. It had so much filling and extras!!! It’s definitely shareable like 2-3 people. I love that it had all my favorite jelly fillings and the ice cream on top. Service was awesome and fast.“

“They’re open! Such a staple Filipino market back in the neighborhood. If you’re familiar with Gabriella’s Food Market in San Jose, they’re the same owners. This Oriental Food market will be our go-to Filipino store for essential groceries and hot Filipino takeout items and catering.

*ask for the Banana Turon/fritters, you won’t regret.“
