This was our first at Yma Ymas and can't wait to go back again. The food was very tender and delicious, it felt like a traditional home-cooked meal. We liked the Shanghai Lumpia so much that we decided to take some frozen pieces to go!The hospitality and the service were 10/10! The owners answered all of our questions and made us feel very comfortable. We appreciate them sharing their culture with us!

10/10 everything! Food is amazing. Literally everything tastes good. You can't go wrong. Lumpia is freshly made. You can order one dozen at a time ($0.60 each). Sausage is sweet and savory, tastes very similar to Taiwanese sausages. 2 entree items are very unique but both tasted great! Would definitely return to try other items. Also service is amazing. People are super friendly there! Highly recommend this place. So happy to have a traditional Philippine cuisine place around.

Saturday menu was a bit limited but was just as good as other filipino restaurants. Staff very pleasant asked if we wanted to try a dish that dad liked. We were able to get a dozen lumpia which was very hot and so good as well. BBQ pork was tender and moist, the bbq sauce was excellent too. Anytime we are in the area we will return.

Such a delicious local filipino food spot! So happy this is close to home ? Feels like I visit my Tita's or Lola's house everytime I come here.Cozy, welcoming and modern decor when you enter the restaurant and you are greeted with wonderful smells, variety of food and sweets to get excited about and friendly service. Excited to return for more delicious eats!? Kid-friendliness: Family friendly atmosphereWheelchair accessibility: First floor only, no stairs to climb
The food was incredible homemade Filipino food The owners and hospitable and kind I had the pancit and dinaguan ( sorry for spelling) Also turao a desert with banana like a dessert lumpia , was so good

Everything was good. I got a beef curry and the pork hocks plate combo. The pork hocks was delicious. I wish the portions that was given was more. It was 1 piece of the pork hock a small amount of the curry for $13. I will definitely ask for more portions next time if I go back.

I love this place so much! The management team there is so kind and catering! I did not know too much about Filipino food but I'm glad I learned about! The food is phenomenal the atmosphere is great but most of all you feel welcome when you come in there. I highly to anyone wanting a wonderful experience.
5/5, give this place a try. You won't regret it. From the service to the food, this is THE Filipino place in the Michigan/Troy area.I was unimpressed by the display walking in. It was 6 buffet-like containers of food that looked dry when I arrived 30 minutes before closing. I had a number of items I wanted to try, including bbq pork, Shanghai lumpia, and beef salpicao. However, I was told they don't have a fixed menu, and currently, they are just cooking items per the owners discretion, and one must call ahead to know the items ahead of time.THE MENU POSTED ON YELP IS NOT UP TO DATE AND DOES NOT REPRESENT THEIR CURRENT MODE OF SERVICE. I decided to give these 3 dishes a try.I was SO pleasantly surprised. The beef and mushroom was not too heavy. Savory Filipino sauce. No wonder this was their third batch that day.The pork hocks was delicious. Fatty. Not overly salty. Melts in your mouth. The definition of homey-filipino soul food.Pancit-staple Filipino noodle dish perfectly fried and again not too heavy- paired perfectly with other two dishes.The service was superb. The owner, Vangie, is super nice and humble. She is the like the motherly/grandmotherly figure you imagine cooking soul-warming food that reminds you of home.Great person. Great food.Price very reasonable. 7.5$ for pint. Little more for quart. Just be sure to call ahead to see what they have (again, menu posted as of now is not up-to-date).

So happy I was able to stop by here on a recent business trip. Even more, that my colleague from India got to have this as his first taste of Filipino food. Baked salmon, menudo, BBQ, beef sinigang, Mungo were all perfect - along with the portions! We showed up within an hour of closing, so the service was slow, but they were HUSTLING to get everyone served. 10/10 would bring my parents haha.

Nothing beats this restaurant as this really hits home!!! Love every thing! From pork bbq, igado, pancit, kutsinta, pandesal, pandecoco ( too many to mention ) plus of course their famous halo halo! Not only that the owners are just too kind and will give you the best service even if the place gets too crowded. P.S ambiance is spot on!
