Food was so so and I also did not like that your phone number listed online did not have your correct phone number as the one listed on Google and on yelp is actually for another business so you can NOT reach them either on the phone . . . another reason for my rating; we had to go down there just to make a to go order.

The Lumpia Joint is a food booth situated on the ground level of the Fashion Valley Mall across from Foot Locker. The menu had three types of lumpia (chicken, pork, veggie) and turon with a choice of five different toppings. Turon was a spring roll with banana and jackfruit filling. I am going to have to return and try this sweet offering because I have not seen it elsewhere yet. The lumpia was sold in quantities of five or ten with sweet & sour or sweet chili available as a dipping sauce.

The lumpia is ok…doesn’t taste good to me, but if your desperate it will do. The turon is good as heck though. Don’t know if it is plantain because it tasted good, more like a banana. Expensive.

Food: 2/5Service and Setting: 3/5Value: 2/5The Lumpia Joint is a small food stand on the first level of Fashion Valley. They serve piping hot lumpia and turon. The lady serving me was very nice and told me that my order would be ready a little after 4 minutes. They have precooked lumpia that they place into this giant air fryer sort of machine and it literally dumps your lumpia out when it is finished. Quite a show.Pork Lumpia: 2/5They have 2 types of lumpia, one being pork and the other being chicken. The lady told me that they taste very similar. You can choose between sweet and sour or sweet chili sauce to dip your lumpia in and I went with sweet and sour. The lumpia are very small and the wrapper doesn’t have a fully fried texture to it, more like an air-fried frozen item, which makes sense. It does carry a fair bit of oil too. The filling is the biggest let down. I’m not Filipino nor have I eaten a multitude of lumpias in my life, but this just wasn’t that great. Most of the lumpias that I have tried and enjoyed were very meat forward and I actually would not be able to tell you if there were any veggies in them. The lumpia at The Lumpia Joint has a very squishy filling with a healthy amount of veggies that give me fake Chinese veggie spring roll vibes. Though I am sure everything was fully cooked because of the temperature, the combination of the steam from the veg and conservative amounts of meat gave it this very odd squishy raw ground meat texture. Though I was not the biggest fan, come out and give it a try!

Glad we found this joint. The lumpia, both pork and chicken, taste real good. We tried the chocolate drizzled turon as well, and it is a treat. Shall return to go with the other flavors. Here's to opening up the next joints in UTC or plaza. Hopefully the vacant spot left by Starbucks upstairs at plaza will end up working out.

Great lumpia, fast hot and tasty. We had the vegetable and chicken lumpia and the sweet Turon rolls. I didn’t get the name of the guy that helped us but he was patient and helpful while we decide what to get. Can’t wait to go back and get the ube next time. Thanks guys
