Keep in mind that this place is a hole-in-the-wall. Not a huge place that offers an array of gourmet Filipino dishes. But, it's enough to get your food fix on some of the basic traditional Filipino dishes, desserts, etc. It could also be a dish to take to work, or maybe something to get for dinner because you were just too tired to cook. Whatever your reason for making it over to Dona's Filipino Grill, I really think there's a dish or two out there that you will like or grow to love. I always say, don't knock it, until you try it. I am now a fan of this place.

Another reminder, Dona's Filipino Grill is not over board, nor is it under. All I know is that once a food tray is empty, the cook may not replenish that dish for the day. I'm reminded by my daughter, if you want to get the best selection - right off the grill- best to make it over earlier than later. Of course, there may be popular dishes that, more than likely, will be replenished. Otherwise, good luck, if you make it after 4pm.

For big birthday parties, my daughter has ordered large trays of lumpia. Make sure you call ahead of time.

I usually prefer not to read reviews until after I've visited a place. So,
I would say, it won't hurt to give Dona's Filipino Grill a try 👍🏼

Oh, and please don't compare this place to Tita's Kitchen ...not fair

If I could give a minus 2 on service I would, this place obviously doesn’t need your business, the woman who answers the phone and takes orders hangs up on you and acts like she doesn’t know what your talking about. The food isn’t that good to deal with this, I hope the owner, knows she is costing them business!

This is the first Filipino take out place that I've eaten at that isn't mad greasy. The chicken adobo was flavorful but not too salty. The lumpia was stuffed with meat.

The food was amazing! I bought a small pan of pansit for a company party and it was so delicious. Definitely will be trying the other food as well.

Meh.. guess I'm just use to better. Vegetable lumpia on the menu.. yet they didn't have it. Pancit was fairly flavorless and oily. The pork in the lumpia is a style I am not accustom to. Ya never know until you try. I definitely will never go back. Also the woman was not the most friendly or enthusiastic.

Lumpia is delicious

Ordered 2 weeks ahead for a party of 15. Asked for a medium order of everything and 50 lumpia. They gave us a large of everything we ordered And charged us for a large order of everything. This could feed 60 people or more. Was just way too much food. And I clarified multiple times that we needed a medium of each item to feed 15 people.....

It's a hidden gem. It's a mom and pop shop, it's absolutely delicious! My friend was telling me about this location and I decided to go before they close. I got some of the noodles, sausages, bread and beef as well as two canned sodas (I don't know the exact name of some of the dishes because I kind of just took whatever they had left) such great portions and I will 100% be back so I can see what else they have. I spent less than $40

Vegetarian options: I love it! and has simple ingredients but just home-base style without any artificial kind of taste enhancement.

Dietary restrictions: Less greasy from it’s meat-menu side…from the meat stew’s sauce was incredible…sabaw palng ulam na!

Parking: Easy to find
