We have been coming here regularly for years twas good in the beginning but this place deteriorated this past 2 years , this review goes out to the nastiest host on floor which I won’t mention your name but you know who you are, I promised you years ago that I will leave you my negative review when you messed up my order and gave me leftover crispy pata that was so rubbery and old, chopped random pieces of the pata bec it was leftovers from your buffet table that you gathered and put in a box and told me twas freshly made I cant believe you made excuses and refuse to refund me or least cook me a new one when i complained but it took 1 week of me waiting for your response and finally gave me a credit.,, for years we are greatly regular customers here food are okay, tho really over priced with tiny serving so sad this is the only Fil resto in the Island, and ppl are saying service was great and food are great, hope google reviews has options for ZERO stars, with your nasty attitude, today, again i ordered pork sisig and look no eggs, no mayo ,no onions, just bare tough pork! slices of pork are too thick and pork is so hard and rubbery no taste at all, super dry! Look at lumpiang shanghai too thin, overcooked plating is really bad what is this!!! And how nasty were you today, I am very unhappy with my orders , i will never recommend this place! And will advice ppl not to go and eat here 😡 very bad customer service

Best Filipino restaurant I have ever had. Yummy in my tummy. This family spot is awesome! This is the go to spot for its culture. Friend recommended me and now how I have to highly recommend this location. One of the best! And it is the best!!!!! So much love for this place! Please come give them a try. Everything on their menu hits! Get Fish, rice, noddles, meats, veggies, curry, whatever they have , give it a try. You won't regret this. Everything sauced up. Can't stop thinking about this place. Go hungry and go!

The food I had was awesome, the only complaint that I have is that the halo halo didn’t have condensed milk, but that’s a preference thing among Filipinos. Some like it on the sweeter side, but I’m guessing a lot of East Asians visit the place so the desserts are on the less sweeter side to cater.

The other entrees I had helped me remember home such as the adobo and the sinigang.

The people working there at the time were super friendly and helped me navigate the menu.

Don’t confuse this place with the Phil-am grocery store next to it!

The closest to homestyle Filipino cooking. Unpretentious. Our go to Filipino restaurant. Halo-halo could use more ingredients in it though.

I am very happy with the exceptional service my family and friends have received during our visits to Phil Am Restaurant. The delicious food options such as their tapa, lechong kawali, inasal, and sisig are a testament to their culinary skills. What truly stands out, however, is the warm and kind demeanor of the staff, including Ate Greta and Ate Maneth. They have consistently been attentive to our needs, making our dining experiences truly enjoyable.
As we have been frequent patrons, I have developed a personal connection with the staff, who have become like good friends to me. I have taken to introducing them to my family and friends, and I will continue to support the business not only for its excellent food but also for its exceptional service.

Masarap suportahan ang ating kapwa Pilipino. :)

The Chicken Adobo is PHENOMENAL 🔥! I highly recommend getting this dish.
This was my first time trying Philippine cuisine and this was a great choice of restaurant.
Me and my family each got separate dishes and we all concluded the chicken adobo bursted with flavor with every bite. The portions are a good value as well, we had leftovers for the next day!
Come here for great Philippine food 🥘!

Anne Hathaway did not spit in my food.

I usually enjoy Filipino lechon kawali (fried pork belly), but I liked it a little less as Bicol, in which it is swimming in ultra-creamy coconut & shrimp paste. It might've been nicer as a dipping sauce. But I'm still grateful for the experience, since I'm not as well-versed in Filipino cuisine as I thought I was. Great restaurant!

What a gem in Staten Island. The food was absolutely delicious, authentic and high quality, made in the way that you'd love regardless of whether or not you're Filipino. We ordered a bit of everything - pork sisig, fried lumpia (spring rolls), bicol (pork in spicy coconut sauce), ginataang kalabasa (butternut squash in coconut milk), longanisa and chorizo (sausages). Everything was delicious. The staff was wonderful - cheerful, upbeat, kind, and efficient. We will definitely visit again soon.
