A Taste of the Philippines

I have been here a few times now and I highly recommend! Not only am I so happy this is the closest Filipino restaurant by my house but the food is tasty, and the owner, Kathy as well as her staff are warm and friendly. I have enjoyed the delicious Filipino dishes from the breakfast silogs, breakfast Sammy, Longoniza Scotch Egg, lumpias, to the Bistek, Mushroom Adobo, Coconut Chicken, to the Ube & Pandan cookies (super fave!), Ube doughnuts, and Ube & Pandan cold brews - just to name a few of my main go to’s! There is an authentic and unique flare for the food prepared and it’s simply yummy! Thanks, Kathy & ATOTP Team! See you all again soon!

This isn't lumpia. It's 1 piece of cabbage in a thin wonton wrapper. Can't do anything with that.

Was pretty good food

This spot came highly recommended, but it didn’t quite meet my expectations. I had the lumpia and the tocino with longanisa. The lumpia was just average, and the tocino longanisa combo were a bit too salty for my taste. The rice was also on the dry side. On the bright side, my friend enjoyed his breakfast sandwich, and the service was solid.

Had the Tocino chicken. So juicy and well cooked.

As a Chicago native married to a Filipina, when I saw the Taste of the Philippines on social media, I knew I was taking my wife as soon as I flew back home! We drove 50 minutes to try it and it was very much worth it!

We walked in and it was such a relaxing and calm greenery all around the whole restaurant. The inside was beautiful!

For drinks were ordered the Ube Cream Cold Brew and Pandan Cold Brew. They were both strong and delicious but they aren't that sweet so if you prefer sweet, ask for sweetener.

For breakfast, we ordered the Breakfast Lumpia, the Longaniza Breakfast Sammy with Ube Pandesal and the Longaniza Breakfast Silog. The Breakfast Lumpia was so good and served with a side of Sriracha on a gorgeous plate. The Longaniza Breakfast Sammy on a Ube Pandesal was so well balanced, delicious and every bite was an enjoyable combination with the egg ans cheese! And the Longaniza Breakfast Silog was a classic, rice was cooked perfectly and the home made longaniza was a little sweeter than usual but absolutely delicious!

We asked for some napkins and the server got them right away. Be patient when you come as all the food is cooked fresh!

Went for breakfast, food was good and fresh as I expected. Food prices was good. Although the drinks were overpriced. I would ask for little bit more generous servings for the price. Nice ambiance and nicely decorated. Owner was very friendly and interacts with guest. Although the younger girl that took our order seemed not interested in being there or maybe she was just stressed, who knows. Love that there's free parking lot.

As a whole the menu was limited but what they did have was done good..the service was slow and the best thing there was the lumpia and the cookies.. I would give it a better rating if they have more on the menu and the service was faster.

Once in a while I gotta take a moment and write a review for a restaraunt that truly surprises me with more than I expected walking into it. Came in here because I heard great things and the food, the service, and the very kind and welcoming owner Kathy herself - did not disappoint! Growing up having eaten Filipino food for almost 40 years it's hard for a restaraunt to stand out but Kathy does a great job keeping the food authentic to its roots while also integrating special touches of her own that you can tell she picked up from her own special experiences through family and life as a chef.

We had the Loganisa/Tocino combo, the lumpia, the Kare Kare, the bistek, the ube donuts (our kids loved them), the ube cookies, and the ube cold brew... and would have them again and again. We'll be back!

I finally got to try it and I would be back however the hours of operation are lutacris literally closed for 3 days? I just dont get it for a business

.see the hours open look some serious medical attentions by appointment if you want to dine...NOT a commercial business it's a clinic resto..???

I picked up lonsilog, bistek, and some lumpia, they were all delicious! I also snagged a few baked goods, the Ube cookie YUM! I wish they gave sawsaw (vinegar) for the lonsilog ? but the whole experience was great! The owner was so kind and friendly. I will come back another day for dinner!

As of now, I’ve only been in for brunch, but what a delicious brunch it was! I had the longaniza breakfast Sammy with an Ube cold brew and the ube chocolate chip cookie! All of these items were spectacular!!! I also decided to take some lumpia to go, as I was going to meet up with friends and wanted to bring yummy treats, and they did not disappoint! I was also lucky enough to have met the owner Kathy! She was so welcoming and friendly and super helpful. Over all, A taste of the Philippines is an amazing little place to try out, especially if you’re wanting to try something new! This place is definitely going to quickly become one of my regular dining spots! Can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu!
