Luzviminda Grocery and Restaurant

It's my 3rd time ordering take out from here and its my first ever bad experience. Not with the food but with the service, the 1st two times I was there it's always been nice but this time it wasn't.

I ordered food for pick up, I get there and this short Filipina Aunty with glasses at the register did not greet me, no hello or anything. Just side eyes me, enters in my order and then finally asks if I am paying with card. I paid with card, no thank you or anything just a slight gesture towards the bag.

I drove home and brushed it off but come to find out we are missing our leche flan. I tried calling at 6:55pm but they close at 7pm so I'm assuming they ignore calls. For a Filipino owned restaurant, you would assume the customer service is superb and top notch but no, it doesn't seem to be all the time. I love Filipino food and Filipino people, I married into a Filipino family and I love the culture. But for someone to just not greet me or anything at all as a customer and then come to find out missing a $9 leche flan is unacceptable.

Update - Rommel reached out to me to clarify the issue and has even offered to make my next order free of charge. Amazing customer service and very responsive! Thank you Rommel!

This was my first time trying Filipino food. I tried bbq chicken and pork skewers and were so tasty, the sauce was sweet and the meet was juicy and tender. I also tried the lumpiang shanghai, which reminded me of a combination of a mini spring roll (breading) and dumpling (meat inside). It was extremely delicious and a nice snack to munch on with my skewers. I ordered my meal online, so next time I will go into the restaurant and dine in.

This is one of my favorite Filipino restaurant. I go at least two times out of the week. It reminds me of my wife cooking when I'm home in the Phillipines. I would choose my wife cooking over Luzviminda. This is really a good spot if you're looking for good Filipino food.

The food was super-excellent, very tasty.
We ordered: sinigang salmon belly, crispy pata, pinakbet, beef stew, pancit malabon, dinuguan.
And all of them were cooked as we ordered them.
Everyone including my Italian, Peruvian and Columbian priest who were with me enjoyed their first Filipino food.
We will bring more friends and will definitely come back whenever we're here at New Jersey.

This is a cute Filipino venue where you can sit and eat some filipino food. There is also a small shopping area with a freezer where you can purchase the essentials for cooking and snacking.

I love the place they cooked what u order but but they ahould have a free soup for customer who dine in you place name LUZVIMINDA but u dont have any kind of free soup can offer its so easy to make 3 kinds of soup ready in ur kitchen [nilaga,sinigang and tinola] im always dissapointed every time for a little cup soup and they will you Sorry po wla pong ready soup naturingan pa kayong Luzviminda... sorry say this.

Great food and atmosphere!

First time visiting and I’m so glad I did! I placed a pickup order and everything was absolutely delicious. I ordered pancit bihon, chicken barbecue sticks, pork barbecue sticks, chicken adobo, chicken afritada, lechon kawali, and lumpia Shanghai — every single dish was packed with flavor. The cassava cake was amazing too, one of the best I’ve ever had! The service was outstanding — everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was also very clean, which I really appreciated. I’ll definitely be back again the next time I’m in the area visiting, hoping to get some turon’s before they sell out! Highly recommend!

It's a nice place nice food and relaxing ambience

So so good ! First time trying Philippine food and I’m glad I tried it here , pork belly was so soft !!!!

It's a restaurant with grocery store.
The interesting thing for me was the choice of buying raw seafood by the pound and then choosing the sauce for the final dish.
We chose 1 lb of shrimp with soy sauce lemon juice and something else. The dish was not very well developed and the shrimps were not cleaned.
The oxtail curry with peanut sauce was very nice. The beef stew was good too.
The desert, cassava pie, was exceptional.

I travel for work and always look for good Filipino food and I have to say this was definitely not at all. I ordered the Bistek and it was just meat with 3 pieces of onions and brown gravy and not even a hint of lemon what so ever. I also ordered the pork adobo and it was just floating in oil and so much of it that it's all I can taste. This has definitely one of the worst ones I have had in a while.

Since moving to Michigan, I have been missing and wanting Filipino food and it took me coming to New Jersey to get it 😆. Great food, great service and if I am in New Jersey again I will make sure to stop by.
