Honestly, the food here wasn’t great, and the customer service wasn’t any better. Wouldn’t recommend it. If you’re in the area, just go to Max Restaurant next door it’s way better.

Service is not ok because we were served with disposable cups while other guests had glasses on their tables; food is overpriced and the receipt automatically charged 18% while there’s only 2 of us. IRS should review the cash registers of restaurants on top of Over Charging Tips of overpriced food.

I loved my bangsilog and how large the portion was, unfortunately the bill was pretty large too. Dang inflation, otherwise I'd come here more for my pinoy breakfasts.

What’s the deal with this restaurant not allowing split card payments? Instead, they’re putting the burden on customers over a slight increase in card transaction fees—when in reality, they’ve already jacked up the prices on their food. Definitely not coming back here

Google Maps stated that this location was open. I drove for almost an hour and a half from Santa Clara and the place was CLOSED! DISAPPOINTING.
We stop by here for food every time we're in the city. Amazing dishes. My favorite is catfish miso soup and Halo Halo.

Yesterday was my birthday, and since we haven't gone to Karilagan for months, I really wanted some good Filipino food, and so we went. We enjoyed all the delicious food as usual until I checked the service charge added to our bill without our consent. We love eating here, and my husband and I are good at tipping, but to charge us for over $29 for just 3 people and a baby for a bit over an hour is extreme. It was my very first time seeing "SERVICE CHARGE" on a bill, so I went up to one of the employees and asked what the service charge was for? I was informed that it's mandatory and that it states on their menu, which I failed to see or notice. According to law, staff/workers must inform customers/consumers about additional charges before asking them to order. Well, we were not informed at all. We don't mind tipping good, but it should be decided by us(customers), not workers. Since I confronted them about the charges, they lowered the additonal "SERVICE CHARGE," which it ended to be over $22 dollars. With the service that we received, I don't think it's worth that much. They should at least help customers pack the leftovers if they are going to charge this much. Since I was so curious about this whole "SERVICE CHARGE" thing, I research about it and found out that as of July 1, 2024, IT IS ILLEGAL TO CHARGE AUTOMATIC SERVICE CHARGE IN RESTURANTS IN CALIFORNIA. Anyone who is still charging an automatic service charge can lead to a lawsuit. BEWARE RESTURANTS OWNERS. We understand that servers are underpaid, and that is why most people tip well, like ourselves. However, you can't do illegal things and lose customers by it. We will decline additional service in the future. Tips should come from the heart and should be decided by how well customers are served.
Overall, food was still good but not unknown charges.

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!
Karilagan is one of the better Filipino places to eat in the South San Francisco / Daly City are. The portion sizes are huge so bring a big group to eat with you. Here are the dishes I recommend:
- Crispy pata (5 stars, 2 shanks for $20): crispy pata is a double fried pork hock. The serving size for this dish at Karilagan is massive. It's served with a delicious spiced vinegar sauce on the side.
- Sizzling sisig (4 stars, $13.95): sisig is pork chunks and some intestines cooked with garlic, onion, peppers on a sizzling plate. It's delicious. Order this.
- Bulalo (4.5 stars, $18.00): bulalo is beef shank soup served with vegetables. If you want a soup to complement your other hearty Fiipino dishes, this is the dish to get!
- Sitaw kalabasa (4 stars, $14.00): this is shrimp and pork cooked in a spicy coconut milk with squash and green beans - it's probably very different from other Filipino dishes you've tried and is a nice veggie dish to have on the side.
- Pancit miki bihon (4 stars, $12.50): this is a mix of egg and rice stick noodles). It's a delicious combo!
This is a true sit down Filipino restaurant. Bring a group with you and enjoy these dishes!

Walked in and was told to leave. Do not come here unless you want to be DISCRIMINATED against! Horrible, especially in 2024 - I cannot believe these people are even still in business!
