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!“

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.“

“I got the single entre combo with chicken curry and mochi, the server noticed my gluten free trend and offered the broth sans fried wontons. Great experience, and wonderful taste. It's nice to know I have this available since there are so few safe GF options when traveling.“

“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!“

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

“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 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🇺🇸🇵🇭“

“I'm fortunate to live in a region of the Bay Area where there are a lot of Filipino restaurants and each of them do so much to sustain the cultural significance of the Philippine population of the area.

For years in having this restaurant as part of my rotation of Filipino cuisine, one of their superpowers is their consistency for delivering good tasting food. Time and time again, I find their offerings to be as good or better than their competitors.

Their service is great and you can count on being warmly greeted by the staff. I also feel that their portions are more generous than their counterparts. So if it's good food you're after, I highly recommend them.

And as is typical of a lot of Filipino joints, decor, atmosphere and aesthetics aren't their thing. As you'll see in the accompanying pictures, this place is about as basic, utilitarian and modest as a place can be, as stripped down as an apartment of newlyweds. But then again, you don't come here for the furniture and art on the walls did you? If you did, you'd be richly disappointed.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Good food 🥘 Fun atmosphere“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“It was very good, food was decent!“

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

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

“Wonderful texture, and great value for money with too good to go. I got the ube, churro and funnel flavors along with a iced coffee.
Ube: No ube flavor, just the color but still nice
Churro: The best of them all
Funnel cake: A little bitter weirdly
Iced coffee: Way too sweet but refreshing“

“This is by far my go-to spot for authentic Filipino food in South San Francisco! Every dish is packed with flavor, and the quality is always consistent. Whether it's classic favorites like adobo or their delicious lumpia, everything tastes homemade and comforting. The staff is always friendly, and the portions are generous. I keep coming back for more, and I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a true Filipino dining experience!“

“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.“

“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!!“

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