Filipino Restaurants near San Mateo, CA

“Exceptional service and very good food (quality, presentation, taste)!!!“

“This place is great for what me and one of my friends go there for whenever it's time to do a Sunday catch-up. Tasty, basic diner style food with plenty of options for Hawaiian and Filipino favorites as well. The menu has huge variety, and everything is served up by warm and friendly staff who keep the coffee topped off and seem to enjoy being there.“

“Love eating here at Chibog;) Home cook meal! Great service as well. They have so many delicious food to choose from!“

“Food was great and tasty. Will come back again.“

“I had a tooth pain along with a fever so I called, and they are willing to let me go in right away for a checkup.

All staff were really nice and friendly, extra gentle when they went through the procedures. Feeling much better now!“

“One of the best Filipino food to go to if you need a quick fix! Also very friendly staffs. School street in Daly City, CA.“

“Go here!! Even if you have to walk a bit (I know I did!) I've gone twice now and have not regretted it. First of all, their drinks are made with oat milk by default which is incredible. The lavender oat milk tea I got was so incredibly creamy and the boba was the perfect texture. I was shocked thinking am I really having one of the best milk teas I've ever tasted at an airport right now?? It was that good! The food doesn't disappoint either. All of the bases are vegan (the pancit and garlic fried rice) and you can split them half/half for 50 cents which I would recommend. I missed this the first time I went but they do have sauces sitting out like hot sauce and soy sauce. The only "entree" option is the veggie stir fry. BUT you CAN order the Omni vegan spam as a side order even after breakfast as you can see in my pictures. I have no idea why it's not listed on the menu at the airport but it's definitely there. Just ask for it. A little pricey but so good!! They told me it would take 15 minutes but it actually only took about 2. For side orders you can choose between the veggie spring roll or a carioca which is a sweet fried mochi ball. Both options were great just depends on your mood. I saw they had a vegan muffin as well but didn't try it. I will definitely be back here if I fly through SF again!“

“Staff was attentive and helpful and the items we ordered were all delicious“

“I haven't been here in hella long. The silogs were made fresh to order. I think it was a little pricy but well worth it for the occasional treat when you don't want to cook.
We ordered:

1. Longsilog: Still as good as I remember but now they open it up.

2. Tocilog: Sweet and I love the little pieces. I'm not a fan when they are big pieces

3. Chicken bbq- My niece liked it, it just had to be warmed up.

4. Picadilllo: I wasn't a fan of, too sweet and too much bell peppers and carrots.

5. Garlic peanuts: My dad liked it but said it's too salty.

6. I had asked for a sode of sabao and the sinigang was so deliciously sour.“

“I went to a Starbread at a different location a few years ago and fell in love with the señiorita bread. I was in San Francisco for a few days and found out there was a Starbread here as well. I wanted to go back and get the bread that I remembered being so good. Well, this place did not disappoint! The señiorita bread was actually better here, it was fresh and sweet and buttery! Because I was traveling back home, I only got 10 for $6 however next time I will be getting a bigger box to bring back home!“

“The best in the Bay Area!“

“Serving authentic Filipino food. All staff is very accommodating. The place gives nothing but good vibes and great food. A must visit Filipino restaurant in San Francisco California. 10 out of 10 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🇺🇸🇵🇭“

“The focus is about consistently delicious food. I married into a Filipino family and have learned, as a foodie, that dishes take time, they need to simmer and they are layered with flavors and herbs. KUYA'S IS A STAPLE for our family. Take out or dine in its always delicious. Dine in and the lights may flicker... it take us out of the states and portal us towards a family that cares about food. Yum.“

“Good food! Had fresh lumpia, lechon kawali, guinatang laing, halo hali, sweet and sour tilapia, rice! aBusog lusog!“

“It feels like Christmas Everytime I eat here. Auntie and Uncle cooking up Pure Filipino hospitality and food. Great selection wonderful home style cooking. Once you try it you'll be back. Please stop by and take a seat you will enjoy your first experience.
I recommend you try the chicken adobo over rice and banana Taron for desert.“

“This is now my official Sunday after church/shopping lunch place! The quality of food and customer service ought to be the Filipino restaurant gold standard! Boracay Garden and Grill has the winning combination: excellent food and outstanding customer service! Their Crispy Pata and Pork Sisig are the best in the peninsula! Please come visit!“

“Chinese Restaurants serving Fusion of Filipino BREAKFAST SILOGS. I've been going here since 2004 , for almost 20 years 4-star. price is reasonable.“

“Where do I start. The food is so flavorful, the staff is so friendly, they remembered me after only going one time. I love the atmosphere! It's just nice and cozy. All the food I tried is delicious, but I'm just obsessed with their pork sisig. And of course they have kareoke! Lots of song options.“

“Good food 🥘 Fun atmosphere“

“I love🥰 every inch of you, 2-tier yummmmy Ubelicious cake😋“

“I really liked the Binagoongan Rice. The flavor was there. It’s a meal by itaself and the portuon was large.“

“The best pinakbit, even Isla can’t compare“

“It was very good, food was decent!“

“Our family loves coming here.... one of a kind Silvanas. Best ever!“

“Classic joint. Really good Machado. (My favorite.) Really isn't anything bad on the menu. A local spot full of locals. That's all you need to know. If my Filipino family like this place, then it's legit. I know I like it a lot. Kare Kare is excellent too.“

“Went at like 0200, seated immediately in terms of price and serving size its very valid. A good place for asian food for a 24hr location. Came for the filipino food but they also offer modern breakfast and some Chinese food. 👍 dont got photos but ate it up.“

“Ensamada was really good and soft One of my favorite“

“They have the Best Comfort food,
Their Tocino, Lugaw and Tokwat Baboy, Porkchops with Rice, Pinakbet with Bagnet and Chicken popcorn are Amazing.

Also, Mochi Donuts are Absolutely elite in quality, texture of mochi donut is superb.

If you’re looking for that perfect balance of a crisp exterior and a beautifully chewy, bouncy texture inside, this is the spot. I stopped by to grab a half-dozen, and they absolutely crushed it.
​
The shop itself has a super clean, aesthetic layout—perfect for a quick Instagram story before you devour them. The staff was incredibly friendly and packed everything beautifully, ensuring the glazes stayed pristine.“

“This rating is for their lunch buffet which is offered on Wednesday, Thursday, and Fridays. The food was good and fresh. The buffet menu changes daily. You can check the day before on their website on what they will be offering the next day. They had tempura squash, sautéed greenbeans, crispy pata, fried chicken, baked fish, tinola chicken soup, steamed rice, garlic rice, and pancit. Dessert it was only buko pandan. They also had pickled ampalaya (bittermelon) and a tomato onion salad. As for the atmosphere, the place was too dim for me. More like lighting for a night club,and it was lunch time. Wish it were brighter. Price is very good.“

“Kadoks new menu Iskolta fried chicken and Puto Biñan are sooooo delicious🍽🥣👏👏👏👏👏“

“It's very hard finding crunchy chicken skin that is cooked perfectly to bring home and enjoy with rice and papaya salad!

Grill City will load a bag for you, which is only about 1LB for under $15! That's a great deal for cooked chicken skin.

There are many other great food options, but this is my go-to for chicken skin!!“
