Filipino Restaurants near Annandale, VA

“My recent visit to Sari Filipino Kusina with my son was nothing short of a delightful experience. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere drew us in. The restaurant combines modern decor with touches of Filipino culture, creating a setting that’s both stylish and cozy.

The food is the real highlight. We started with lumpiang shanghai, which was perfectly crisp and packed with flavor, a promising start to our meal. I went for the adobo, which was tender, rich, and savory, while my son chose the sinigang, a soup that had just the right balance of tanginess and warmth. The lechon kawali we shared was incredibly crispy outside, with melt-in-your-mouth tenderness inside—a true treat.

Dessert was a shared halo-halo, and it was fantastic. It’s a layered, colorful mix of flavors and textures that ended the meal on a refreshing note.

Sari Filipino Kusina is a gem for anyone who loves authentic Filipino flavors or wants to try something new. Our meal here was not just food—it was a shared experience that we’ll remember fondly. Highly recommended!“

“A hole in the wall (or hidden gem, if you will) that is very homely and gives you a great diners' feel with the bar seats and 4 people tables. The ladies behind the bar dabbled in everything: seating us, chatting with us, taking our orders, cooking, making drinks, cleaning, serving dessert, and even manned the checkout. The Lumpia was made fresh (took a while to come out) so the skin was crispy, yet light and not soaked in oil. The Lechon (crispy pork belly) was exceptionally crunchy and the sauce added some tanginess that had me coming back for more; paired with the garlic rice, it was a great and filling meal. We also had the pork adobo, which was tangy and savory (makes my mouth water just thinking about it, while writing this review), again paired with garlic rice, the exceptional flavors were elevated. I highly recommend pairing their dishes that come with white rice, to opt for garlic rice. Lastly, we finished off the meal with a halo-halo, which is shaved rice with sweetened condense milk, ube ice cream, and assorted sweet jelly.

Since this is a really small establishment, I highly recommend only visiting with max of 4 people, to not take up too much space and to also ensure that you get hot and fresh food as they can serve it quickly.“

“Very good sushi and skewers. The bartender was super nice and made delicious cocktails. The Zuki moon Pilsner was very good as well. We got the deluxe tuna roll and rib eye skewers. Can’t wait to go back and try other items. Highly recommend!“

“I went here and it was packed, line out the door plus pickup orders. Still the staff seemed to keep the same calm pleasant demeanor towards every customer. It was impressive, even under high pressure, the staffed seemed attentive. Well ran business! The food was fresh, tasty and the order was correct. The only negative I had for this location is the bathroom is locked and has to be unlocked for each patron. I don't know the backstory but I found that pretty awkward. Otherwise great establishment with, tasty Jollibee food and awesome employees.“
