We had a great time celebrating my mother’s birthday at A Taste of the Philippines! I organized a surprise Kamayan dinner of abt 20 people. Kathy, the owner, is super easy to work with and gave us a great spread of food! The food was plentiful and delicious! If you’re there you have to try the ube desserts like the cheesecake bites and doughnuts! We look forward to going for a nice brunch next time. Thanks again Kathy, looking forward to our next visit there!!

I decided to give it another go and visit the restaurant. The food did not disappoint! It was very delicious. I ordered the Longaniza Breakfast Sammy, and the chicken/long silog. I also met the owner, Kathy. She was very sweet and friendly. Give this place a shot. I will definitely return to try a few more items on the menu!

*original review*
I saw this restaurant on instagram and decided to take a 30+ minute drive to try it out today 4/24/25 around 11am. To my dismay, the restaurant was closed. Bummer…

Amazing food and service—- I grew up eating Filipino food from my best friends family and the nostalgia is surreal with a contemporary twist. Def recommend for a quick bite or to enjoy a meal with family and friends!

What a great spot! The owner/chef is so nice. We had several different items from the menu and all of them were excellent. The Sammy (pan de sal) is my favorite. Every item is made to order with love and it shows.

I have eaten here several times already and each visit and dish I tried never disappointed me. During my dine in visits, I ordered their silogs, cookies, lumpias, donuts, coffees and their yummy breakfast sandwich. Everything is delicious. The owner and staff are super friendly where they make you feel at home. I love supporting small businesses and I'm glad this place is near where I live. I will definitely come back again. Currently craving their breakfast sandwich as I type this review. Yummmm. 😋

I love the longanisa silog here!!! The sausage is homemade, garlic rice on point, and egg is always jammy. Ube pandesal breakfast sammie also goes hard. I wash it down with the pandan cold brew. I need to try everything else on the menu

I recently had a “Kamayan” birthday celebration with my friends here and it was amazing! It was easy to book a time slot for our private gathering and pick from the variety of ulam (entree) Chef Kathy had to offer. Her lechon kawali (pork belly) and lumpias are the best! She made sure the food was fresh and hot when me and my guests arrived (even though we were a little late.. cz Filipino time 😅). The food and her welcoming, friendly presence made the whole experience just awesome. Her desserts were also amazing. We all loved it and we will definitely be back for more!

***Also, from a separate visit - not only are her dishes good, her drinks as well! I definitely recommend either the Ube or Pandan cold brew. They were both strong and tasty in flavor!

My first impression of the restaurant was the beautiful aesthetic immediately followed by the warmth that exudes from the owner. She made us feel extremely welcome. Since it was our first time, she recommended a few items and every single thing tasted soooo goood! From the ube breakfast Sammy to the lumpia and lechon over garlic rice and the ube cookies and donuts, it all had me dancing in my chair.
Olivia and Kathy were super hospitable! We will def be returning.
