Pancit with the three meats was wonderful. Its best to call in if you want to have it to go. It is freshly made so it will take a little time. But it is hot and freshly made. As you cam see in the pictures thw pancit was very beautiful. Ill come back to try more things.

Only at Renee’s offers an incredible kare-kare! The tender oxtail and fresh veggies are perfectly cooked and smothered in a rich, creamy peanut sauce. It’s a hearty, flavorful dish that showcases authentic Filipino cuisine at its finest—a true must-try!

The food was absolutely delicious! I brought a friend who isn't Filipino, and he loved it—he rated the meal 10/10. All my other friends who have tried Filipino cuisine agreed that this was the best-tasting food they've had. I was really impressed too; it felt just like being at home. I've always appreciated and loved the concept of shared meal amongst friends/family. The food and ambiance were perfect, and the staff was incredibly friendly as well.

Festive decorated Filipino restaurant with quality food! Arrived during dinner time and ordered, lumpia, adobo, garlic rice, pinoy bbq, grilled squid, tocino, all delicious, but the winner was definitely the homemade ginger ale. So refreshing ! Don’t get me wrong, the food hit the spot and the staff made you feel like family. Glad had a chance to visit the establishment!

I grew up in Pampanga and craved authentic 'sisig' after a long time. Despite mixed reviews about prices and saltiness, I tried this restaurant, hoping for the best. Unfortunately, my experience didn't meet expectations.

Their 'special bulalo' ($30) was overwhelmingly salty, which I anticipated from the strong fish sauce aroma. The 'sisig' ($18) fell short of authentic Kapampangan standards, surprisingly, given the restaurant's claimed roots.

Additionally, the lumpia was underwhelming, especially considering the hefty price of $1 per small piece. It's essential to refine this popular Filipino dish to justify the cost.

Disappointingly, old reviews criticizing the food's saltiness seem to have fallen on deaf ears, as nothing has changed. The automatic 20% tip added to the frustration.

For pricey food, authenticity and taste should be prioritized. Sadly, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant and will explore other options for genuine Kapampangan cuisine or other filipino restaurants.

Disappointing Experience - Room for Improvement

I was eagerly looking forward to trying the Kapampangan sisig, but unfortunately, my dining experience fell short of expectations.

The sisig ($18), a dish I was particularly excited about, was surprisingly sour, making the addition of lemon unnecessary. We also ordered the special bulalo ($30), which was overwhelmingly salty due to excessive fish sauce. The lumpia lacked flavor, leaving it forgettable. But the Sizzling pusit is good.

Considering the prices, I hoped for more refined dishes. It would greatly benefit the restaurant to taste and adjust their creations before serving.

On a positive note, the owners and staff were friendly.

Delicious and authentic Filipino food (coming from a Filipino too)! I already started eating before taking the picture because the sinigang smelled so enticing! Most welcoming atmosphere and the restaurant is just beautiful.

I am from Delaware and my last favorite Filipino spot closed recently so I was on the hunt while vacationing at Virginia Beach. Another amazing Filipino spot found! The place is not a traditional Filipino eatery where foods are precooked when you order. Here the food is specially cooked for you fresh. I love that concept because I get to eat it freshly made. I got kare kare, pork sinigang and sisig with the ube shake and calamansi drink. All the food was GREAT and so delicious that I felt like I didn’t want to leave. There are so many options and special drinks and desserts that no other Filipino place I’ve been to ever offered. I love the atmosphere too and all the staff were so friendly. I am most definitely coming back here when I am anywhere close! Two thumbs up!
