We got the sausage bowl and both types of lumpia’s. The pork lumpias were underwhelming but otherwise everything else was delicious!

White Rice Bodega offers a delightful taste of authentic Filipino cuisine that captures the essence of both tradition and innovation. My recent experience at this joint left a lasting impression, showcasing a fusion of flavors that evoked memories of home-cooked meals yet brought a modern twist to the table.I had Tocino Manok, and the chicken was perfectly crispy and flavorful! Love the up egg on top to blend into the garlic rice.Definitely will be back to try more on the menu!

I love this spot so much, but am disappointed it closes at 7 pm. I always crave it later than dinner and it’s not open. If it stayed open until 9 pm, it would be perfect.

Foods really good, better than expected and portions are a decent
Great place to grab a quick bite or spend a longer time eating and having a drink with friends. I lived nearby so I went walking and grabbed food to go. I knew little about their menu but the guy was very good about giving me recommendations, got the pork adobo on top of garlic rice, really good!!

This is THE spot for some good Filipino brunch and if you don't want to eat too much; I find myself coming back every time I'm in the area. My favorites are longanisa, pork adobo, and lechon kawali; I didn't really like the flavor of the Chicken Tocino. The lechon kawali has been consistently so crispy; its fat just melts in your mouth the just the way a real good crispy pork belly should do. Always get a side of their vinegar because it balances the entire meal. Don't forget the ube milk tea because it's so refreshing. That subtle hint of ube--SO GOOD. Wish I could try the ube pandesal but the portion size is too big for me to order. Staff is always so nice!!! FYI, only outdoor seating (for now).

My coworkers and I wanted to grab dinner together to catch up as one of them had left the company earlier this year. I've had this place bookmarked and wanted Filipino foods. They were both interested! It's located across of Vons on the corner of 36th St and Adams Ave in North Park. There is only street parking around the area which could be tricky on dinner rush hours and on the weekends. The shop is a just a kitchen with outdoor seating. However, when my coworkers and I went, there were wasps flying around us, trying to eat some of foods and also probably to sting us. The wasps made it very difficult for us to enjoy our meal, so we had to relocate to the park closest to us. Not the shop's fault but something to look out for.I saw that they had pancit, which I have to say is my guilty pleasure for Filipino foods (basic, I know), but I wanted to try their main bowls, so I got their Sisilog bowl. The bowl itself was surprisingly quite big with a lot of pork, wow! The food smelled and looked soooo good. There was that distinctive vinegary smell that wafted out of the bowl that made me quickly try it out. The pork was nicely cooked but without a crunch (probably because it took us a while to figure out where to eat) but the flavor was delicious! Definitely had a sourness (from the vinegar), sweetness, and saltiness blend in the entire dish. One of my coworkers is Filipino and taught me to mix everything together and all the flavors merged into one. I wished the bowl of food was hotter and egg was a little more runny so that it would have been a nicer mix, but overall, delicious! One coworker got their Toncino Manok, which was the grilled chicken, and it was equally delicious! She also got their Ube Cookies which was very moist and soft but in my opinion, too sweet for me.This shop has a small menu but the food had a large presence. Very flavorful with a mixture of different flavor profiles which was delicious! They also have happy hour on M-F from 2-5pm on their food and drinks. Definitely will be back to try their Pork Adobo, Lechon Kawali, and Pancit next time!

Outdoorsy dining and quaint little like corner shop. Great food.
Great service and kind workers here. The food is just ok though. I've gone here twice and each time I've been I feel like the rice bowls were just missing something. They were also out of the taro cookies both times I went. This is a nice place to stop at if you happen to be going by or for a quick lunch
So good!!
