Incredibly authentic Filipino hole-in-the-wall doling out a wide variety of ready-to-go stews and crispy fried specialties (e.g whole fish)Very reasonably priced, generously portioned lunch platters with choice of carbohydrate and two entrees. Highlights include:(i) chicken or pork adobo,(ii) ginataang kalabasa (pumpkin coconut milk curry with fresh veg and seafood), and(iii) lumpia rolled fresh by the house matriarch on-site.Glass-noodle pancit, while tasty, is more of a personal preference choice.An excellent option for Filipino in the Outer Mission/Excelsior — with a very strong, no-frills, friendly vibe from the islands.

The palabok is delicious here, I can't wait, I ate it before taking a picture. Also their lumpia is so good, 3 for $1! Just know it's cash and take out only.

Best Filipino food in the Bay Area. My grandkids got free lumpias. The staff is extremely friendly. The food portions are big, enough food in one serving to save for the next day.Kid-friendliness: My grandkids felt special when they were given a free lumpia.

Very homey place! It was very nostalgic and home bound! Very kind and lovely people. The food is memorable and loved every single bit of it. Definitely a hidden gem ❤️

This was my go to place for okoy. They switched up their recipe and it's now trash. They use itty bitty baby shrimp that you can't even taste. They barely put any veggies. It's mostly batter. You're basically eating deep fried batter. Don't let the photos of the okoy fool you. Those pics are old. Bring back your old recipe.

Wow!!!! I had to go to Walgreens so I parked across the street from this hole in wall eatery. After realizing there is no longer a Walgreens, I back tracked and went into this tiny place and smelled the aroma of home cooked food . Of course my eyes are bigger than my mouth and I wanted to try everything. I ordered Shanghai lumpia just because.....it didn't disappoint . Next was palabok, DAMN!!! noodles were silky smooth and flavorful, followed by binagaoongan, whaaaaaat, salty tender pork and eggplant over rice was BOMB! You can't eat that everyday but I will definitely have that again. I saw some bilo bilo and yeah...hit the fricken spot! Then to boot, after I paid my tab, they threw in a banana lumpia which was AMAZING. No, I didn't eat it all, yes I'll have leftovers to share when I get home and YES, I'll definitely be back to see the smiling and kind people behind the counter and to try more deliciousness!
The definition of hole-in-the-wall. I live less than a block away, have walked by probably hundreds of times, yet I've never noticed Baby's until I found it on Yelp recently. This place is tiny! No dine-in. Just enough room to line up and get your food. The staff is friendly, and they seem to know all their customers. On a Wednesday at noon, there was a steady stream of customers going in, but there was hardly a wait since you just pick the food you want, pay, and leave. * Okoy - 4.5 stars Great crisp, great with vinegar dip. FYI this has shrimp! (I'm allergic and didn't think to ask) * Palabok I think - 3 stars Maybe I'm not familiar with this traditional dish, found this lacking in flavor. * Chicken Adobo - 4 stars Tender meat, great flavor. * Ube dessert - 4 stars Not sure what this is called, but I liked the subtle sweetness and various textures! I think there was tapioca, taro, and mochi.

I used to come here after getting off the bus from Burton High School. This was probably 15+ years ago. The old ladies were really nice. Hopefully they are just VERY old now and still happily doing their thing. I wonder how the prices are now.

My favorite Filipino restaurant since I can remember. The lumpia's are the best. I bought 100 frozen limpias to keep my in freezer and cook occasionally at home. Due to Covid they have removed all seating and have plastic barriers all around. Definitely keeping safe and clean. Love this place. Parking is challenging around this area so be aware.
