Filipino Restaurants near South San Francisco, CA

“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!“

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

“It was very good, food was decent!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“First time trying this place and it did not disappoint! 🤩🍽️🔥

I ended up getting my lunch to-go because the place was packed when I arrived — always a great sign! 👏 I ordered the chicken adobo over rice and it was delicious. 🍗🍚 The chicken was tender and well-flavored. I personally could have used just a little more seasoning and maybe a touch of heat 🌶️, but I’m not sure if traditional chicken adobo is supposed to be spicy — either way it was still really good.

The rice was perfectly cooked, and the presentation was almost perfect. It probably got shuffled around a little during my walk back to the office 🚶🏽‍♂️, but it still looked great when I opened it.

The restaurant itself was clean and welcoming. ✨ The person who took my order was very friendly, and the staff member who handed me my meal when it was ready was also super friendly and professional. Great customer service! 🙌

10 out of 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — I would’ve given it an 11 if I could! Definitely coming back to try more dishes, especially Silog Thursday (I may not be spelling or pronouncing that perfectly 😄 but I’m excited to try it!).

I stopped in today March 13 around 1:00 PM, and it was busy — especially considering they close at 2 PM. That tells you everything you need to know! 👏🔥

“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.“

“This is a great value restaurant, everything is cheap here. The food is good and greasy. Not sure there’s anything healthy here😂.

Parking in the area is PIA, they seemed to be mostly busy but the line and order is fast. I liked the filipino pork chop more than the Hong Kong fried pork chops.“

“I Love Purple Burritos!!!“

“Genuine “Filipino” food that’s no where near “run of the mill “. Delicious Adobro really tender slow cooked pork that falls apart lightly covered in a special sweet sour sauce over rice with a fresh pickled veggy salad GF and vegan options not just after thoughts but real options. I’m coming back with friends“

“for me, it's the best Filipino food in San Francisco. Everything tastes homemade.“

“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.“

“Irma's food is delicious and the price point is something that cannot be beat ! Thank you Irma for being a part of my 2020 New Year's Eve celebration ❤❤❤ We will be seeing you in the New Year and Beyond 🙏🙏🙏“

“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!“

“Always to stop in on my way to , or from grab bite to eat yummy“

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

“This is one of those deceivingly small places, but it packs a lot of big bold flavors and hearty meals.

It is a highly efficient mom-n-pop restaurant, with an open kitchen and a food-prep operation in plain sight. Often you'd see fresh dishes poured right into the food warmers directly from the stoves. And with everything out in the open, you have the sense that everything is honest, as simple as a home kitchen.

And in spite of their tiny operation, the selection is ample on any given day in this turo-turo style, so much to pick from, and it seems as if point at anything, even from their shelves, everything is for sale.

These folks are hard working, kind people who try to send you off with as much food they can pack into to-go overflowing plastic containers. They are earnest at what they do. This is a fine example of a small business with big dreams.“

“The best in the Bay Area!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious Filipino food 👌🏼“

“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“
