This is my first time trying authentic Filipino food. We are from Philly. And my OG Filipino best friend told me that we have to go to this Filipino place in NJ. So we drove all the way to NJ for this place.And it is so worth it!!! I love the OG Filipino tatse!We ordered palabok, pinaket, bistek, lechon kawali, lumpiang shanghai, kaldereta, cassava cake, banana cue, and buko pandan.They are all so so yum!!!
First time visiting this restaurant and everything I ordered was delicious. I will come back for another visit in the future. Give this place a try if you haven't yet.Parking: Only a small number of parking spots per store

I am originally from Bicol Sorsogon and the mixture of the blood when I was in Bicol was the same as the blood of Nila. Their Karni and mixes in their blood are high quality meat, soft and their meat does not get too big in the blood, so it's still good to eat and I can get an extra serving. The types of meat they use in the other dishes here are of great quality because they are tender and juicy.

Needs improvement the way how they cook. The quality and freshness of foods in Mount Laurel branch are better than In Somerdale branch. I bought ube kalamay and biko yesterday and it's awful, it's hard like a rock. I live in Berlin but I still going to Manila Cafe Mount Laurel branch, food is more delicious and fresh.

So a friend of mine had posted several months ago that he was here and the food looked yummy! We decided to take the drive and check it out. You walk in to just 2 dine in tables and a mini grocery store type area. In the back is where there are people waiting to assist with whatever platter or foods you'd like Ala Carte. I asked for some help with knowing what everything was. The woman who assisted was cheerful and absolutely awesome. She explained what each dish was to me. We tried several different dishes The beef stew (nothing like the stew I'm used to which I love) was absolutely delish with some white rice. We had the pork lumpia which is like a little crispy pastry type (egg roll) but not an egg roll with pork inside. It came with an awesome dipping sauce. We had chicken and shrimp pancit that was super flavorful and just down right delish! We grabbed some stuff to go as well after having our lunch in. Had to give this little gem the kudos it deserves. Great food and awesome staff!
