Turo Cafe And Grill

We chose Turo Cafe to cater our Sunday Wedding Brunch and it was a hit! All of our family and friends loved all the dishes. Their staff worked so closely with us to figure out the perfect menu for all of our guests dietary restrictions while also providing our favorite authentic dishes. Half of our family is Filipino and the other half had never had Filipino food before and the chefs at Turo were able to impress everyone, which is not an easy task! Everyone asked us where we got our food and many would love to come back and visit or order for their own event. We highly recommend Turo for any large party catering. Soooo masarap! :)

Turo Cafe has consistently been my favorite Filipino place. I have tried several places around the Bay Area and so far, this is the best. I have never dined in person, but I have ordered often through Door Dash. We also tried their catering service and our guests were raving about the food! 8oz serving is good for 1, but maybe not a lot if you're hungry. 16oz can last me 2 meals and most of their food freezes well.

Some of the food we have tried:

Jeprox - crispy and flavorful! Even after 20 minutes of travel. Pairs well with their vinegar and tomato.

Kare kare - not too salty, generous with the meat. The meat was very tender! I added more vegetables when it reached our place. It was good even without bagoong! I've tried it as small order and for catering (1 tray) and the taste is very consistent.

Pork sinigang - my favorite Filipino food! Get your rice ready, it was sour to my liking! The 8oz is already filling and enough for 1 person

Chopsuey with Tofu - this was a special request for catering, the guests loved it and the vegetables were cooked well (not soggy). Tofu was crunchy on the outside, soft inside.

Bicol express - I expected it to be spicy, good thing it wasn't! It was very creamy, you can taste the bagoong in it. There was a lot of pork fat (good if you like the soft fatty meat!), had to look for the meat.

Laing - perfect!!! It was very creamy and tasty. Good to pair with garlic rice.

Lumpiang shanghai - good size and serving, crispy! I ordered the a tray and everyone loved it

My least favorite so far is the chicken sisig, it was bland and a bit hard to chew. We will try pork sisig to compare it next time

Beef stew over garlic rice is my new breakfast on the go, no joke. You can have special orders if you call-in ahead of time.

I'm so glad I went here this is the best Filipino food I've had in the city. This place was hella good. The pancit palabok was amazing. I don't think I've ever had palabok at a restaurant and liked it that much, but its bomb here. Bicol express was my favorite thing, not spicy but creamy and flavorful. Kare Kare was also a standout, it was so rich without feeling overly greasy. Chicken adobo is always delicious, but this one was great, chicken was not dried out, moist but fell apart as you ate it, it was a little peppery which I really like. We also got longaniza and lumpia, which are always good. Everything was great.

The younger Filipino guy with the line up hooked me up so good. I genuinely appreciate him for letting me try samples of things just to see what I like. He eventually let me try so many things that I got full just standing there. Oh man I wish I could do more to show my gratitude towards this fine establishment but here is a honest very genuine review for such an awesome delicious restaurant. God bless them.

Lol, I ordered 5 pieces of Lumpia and they gave me BURNT ones. My boyfriend said those weren’t edible at all. Please don’t do this in the future.

Ok update: I came back and they gave me more than 5 lumpia which was very nice of them! This time they weren’t burnt 😆 Thank you!

We’ve ordered Lechon and lumpia for parties from this place twice. Everyone from our party loved the food and couldn’t stop talking how good it was. We’ll def come back to try other dishes. Highly recommend this place!

I had my first experience here today shortly after they opened, and I was instantly met with a friendly face behind the counter. Her name is Clarissa!

She advised me on all the food options, and sold me on a plate off the BEST fish, moist chicken, and “hawaii shrimp truck like” garlic rice I’ve ever had, and I used to live in Hawaii.

It was so good, that after my class at CCSF I walked out of my way back here for Pancit and more chicken… and they were not only happy to see me again, but sold me on another dish that was even better!

Best little spot for Philippino food I’ve ever been too!! Give it a try and say hi to Clarissa!

Thanks for listening.

Prices on the menu just keeps on increasing yet the amount of servings are less. A large rice used to be 6 scoops for $10.00 after 2 months it is $12.75 but only 5 Scoops. Small rice used to be 3 Scoops for $5.00 today it was increased to $5.25 for 2 Scoops only. Makes no sense why the prices are increased & the amount of serving are reduced.
