I went to White Rice Morena and ordered take out, and had to wait 40 minutes to get two rice bowls, the pandasal, and what should’ve been lumpia but it was forgotten in my takeaway bag. The food presentation left so much to be desired, and the actual taste was pretty bad. For the Sisilog, the pork had no flavoring whatsoever, the egg had black burns on the bottom but wasn’t even warm, and the rice was just covered in salt? The Ube Pandasal tasted like just like regular buns with purple food coloring, and the same with the butter that comes with it. The pork adobo my coworker ate but also expressed it was not worth the money and especially not worth the long wait with no other customers in the building. If you like White Rice stick to the location in liberty market, the Morena location is not representative of the brand and its food AT ALL.

We’ve tried to go there twice for dinner, and the restaurant has been closed (closed sign up, door locked) even though people were inside and they should have been open according to Google. Last night we went at 6:20pm. Although we love the Liberty Station location, we won’t be back to this one since it’s apparently not open when it’s supposed to be ?

Came in to try the place out, since it took over the asian fusion place that had amazing fried rice. I ordered the Lechon Kawali. It was good but overpriced, and not very filling. I don't know a lot about Filipino food but if I'm going to drop freakin $16(!!!) on a rice bowl I expect to not be hungry two hours later. Plus like half the items on the menu were crossed out for some reason.Decor is somewhat spartan and the chairs seem designed to make sure you don't linger. Granted I came in for takeout but I'm not getting a very nice sit-down vibe.Will try again later, hopefully the menu isn't so gutted.

I ordered the Lechon. It was good, but definitely a modern take on Filipino food, which I didn’t expect and they were unable to sell Pork Adobo which was disappointing.Great renovation and cute decor! They could use more on their walls :)

I ordered the mushroom/tofu sisig and unfortunately the rice was drenched in the sauce which was too strong. It was inedible. I felt bad because they were so nice but I guess I ought to share my experience in hopes they improve. Service was polite but my food was too salty and vinegary. I get that’s how sisig is but the rice shouldn’t be also drenched in that flavor.As a Filipino vegetarian myself, I also hope they have more veggie options in the future that are innovative and true to the Filipino palette without being too salty/vinegary.
Incredible food, but when you update your store hours, you should update your website and google/yelp to reflect those hours. Nothing is worse than driving from far away to get some good food in your time off only to realize that the store is closed despite being listed as open on the website and google. This has happened two different times for me. I guess I have to call before showing up to get food in the future from this place.

Definitely tasty. I liked the pork adobo better than the lechón kawali, which is fried pork belly. The flavor of the adobo was great, very salty and savory, but the pork belly was a little more plain. Fast and friendly service, a little too

Our meals were fantastic and both of the dishes were seasoned perfectly, and well spiced. The sisilog pork belly was tossed in a delicious aïoli, and the longanisa sausage was absolutely perfect, and what I’ve been craving for years. The Ube rolls were good. We are going to definitely go back and try their entire menu because the staff was phenomenal and I’m really looking forward to exploring what else they have to offer!

So good! We were really excited to have this open in our area. The staff was super nice and friendly, the vibes were immaculate, and the food is SO good. We got the longanisa and pork Adobo bowls and they were so good. The adobo was up to par with my friend’s mom’s so that’s saying something.
Location is closed. Update to permanently closed!
