Filipino Restaurants in Union City, CA

“I know this restaurant has been around for 20 years but it was my 1st time here. The food tastes authentic, service is great. Some people say the servings are small but they are actually just right. I had their lomi (for take out) and had their halo-halo, inihaw na bangus for a late lunch. Was worth the trip. Will definitely be back.“

“My experience was a mixed bag. The food was undeniably delicious, but my interaction with a male matured server/cashier left a sour taste in my mouth.

All the dishes were truly impressive. Each bite was a flavor explosion and equally scrumptious. The place knows what it's doing.

However, things took a turn for the worse when this matured server/cashier came over to my table. While I appreciate enthusiasm, this owner's brand of passion crossed into intrusive territory. He dominated the conversation. The real kicker came when he started micromanaging my dining experience, insisting I order fewer dishes and serve them on plastic containers. He said I wouldn’t be able to eat them all. I order two dishes so I can take it to go. I replied to him I could’ve eaten at McDonalds, but I want to eat on real plates and use real utensils.
Newsflash: if I'm capable of using a fork without guidance, let me enjoy my meal in peace!

While the food was great, the server/owner's overbearing demeanor put a damper on what could have been a fantastic dining experience. If Toppings Two Union City can work on striking a balance between attentive service and respecting customers' boundaries, I'd be more than happy to give them a glowing review. Until then, I'll recommend the food, but with a caveat: be prepared for a side of attitude.“

“People skills friendly and cleanliness“

“Wonderful service and food, I'll be back 😋“

“Excellent food and drinks“

“Baked goodies from our childhood memories of Philippines are available freshly baked here: pandesal, puto bungbong, puto, siopao, kutsinta, turon, leche flan, bibingka, palitaw, etcetera. It's small, but stocked well, and sometimes lineups happen inside. Simplicity in tradition continues in 'Pinay' tastes and is easily bought, thanks to Valerio's.

Vegetarian options: Most baked goods here have no animal flesh.“

“Palabok is my fave….. so good.“
