Staff were nice and friendly, and they explained the menu since it was our first visit. They also had a self-order kiosk, but it had no pictures only text so ordering wasn’t very easy.
I don’t remember the exact names of the dishes, but one was assorted meats with crispy rolls and shrimp, and the other was crispy pork belly. Portions were huge and the dishes looked great when served. Unfortunately, the actual taste was disappointing. The grilled meat was overly sweet from the BBQ sauce, and the macaroni salad was bland. The deep-fried rolls and shrimp were oily and soggy. It felt like they tried to cover the dryness of the meat by drenching it in sauce.
The worst was the crispy pork belly. Honestly, I couldn’t chew or swallow it, it was so dry and hard. I have healthy teeth and I’m only 40, but eating this gave me jaw pain and even a headache. I couldn’t finish even a quarter of it and packed the rest to take home, hoping to fix it by re-cooking, but ended up throwing it all away.
If this is authentic Filipino food, then I guess Filipino cuisine is just not for me.

Second time here; first time for halo halo and that blew our minds. So good. Today for food; some of the tables needed cleaning so knocking a star off for service. The music is a little loud but pleasant. We had the sisig bowl and the bbq chicken plate. All of our food was delicious; I especially loved the Mac salad. The portions are huge. We will be back for more!

A Taste of Filipino Comfort in Everett
Enseamada Cafe in Everett is a true gem, delivering an authentic and incredibly satisfying Filipino culinary experience. As someone who grew up immersed in Filipino culture, I can confidently say this cafe hits all the right notes, offering both beloved classics and innovative twists that truly stand out.
The pork belly sisig here is, without exaggeration, a revelation. It's perfectly crispy, savory, and bursting with flavor, setting a new gold standard that has, quite frankly, ruined me for sisig anywhere else. My favorite is to add the egg n top.
Beyond the savory delights, Enseamada Cafe shines with its impressive array of ube options. For those who cherish the vibrant purple yam like me, this place is a dream come true. From fluffy ube pancakes that start your day with a sweet, earthy embrace, to the refreshing layers of their halo-halo, and the rich, creamy ube cheesecake that provides a perfect end to any meal – every ube creation is crafted with care and authentic flavor. It's a joy to see such ample and delicious ube offerings that truly celebrate this iconic Filipino ingredient.
Enseamada Cafe isn't just a place to eat; it's a warm, welcoming space that feels like a culinary homecoming. It's clear that passion and authenticity are at the heart of everything they do. Whether you're a long-time fan like us or looking to explore new flavors, Enseamada Cafe in Everett is an absolute must-visit.

I wanted something different so I chose this Philippine Cafe.. pork belly bites.. great loved them thy need to give you more than a teaspoon of sauce w the bowl of pork bites though.. the lumpia.. really good just NEED MORE THAN A TEASPOONFUL OF SAUCE TO GO W A WHOLE ORDER of ROLL UPS.. the garlic noodles w shrimp .. I would’ve preferred the shrimp be unshelled .. the noodles?… omg they are d d d DRY! You need to splash some water on them or something… soy sauce — something g idk…I have a gang of noodles now I have to figure out how to make some sort of sauce to go with them.. At MY HOUSE! ..other than that I have left overs. I have to chef up the rest of the food… there wasn’t anywhere to sit at first but after she cleaned a table I did eat in doors… it was ok…

The restaurant is such a cute vibe i absolutely love love love. I got the adobo chicken bowl on my break, literally came out in 5 minutes and the chicken is falling off the bone 🙂↕️. I feel like I found such a hidden gem in the plaza it’s located at ! A must try
It was our first time here. This spot is really nice. Love the vibe and service was great. They have food dishes, different tyoes of desserts, and drinks. We had eaten already so we didn't get to try some of food, but we did get some sweets. I got an ube cookie and a calamansi refresher. The cookie was bomb and the drink was super good. Overall, the spot is legit. We plan to come back to try the food :)

I didn’t know what to expect when we went to Enseamada Cafe—my wife picked it, and I hadn’t looked it up beforehand. I was expecting Filipino food for sure, but I didn’t realize it would have an island-infused twist as well.
Everything we ordered was excellent. The fried rice was incredibly tasty—probably my favorite dish—and the lumpia was right up there, too. Both were packed with flavor and really hit the spot.
There was no wait to be seated, and the staff was super friendly and welcoming. We were only in the area for a specific reason, so unfortunately, we don’t live nearby, but if we’re ever back in the area, we’ll definitely return.

My fiancé and I split the Ube Halo-halo refresher and it was AMAZING - they really load it up and I will be going back to get that. We also got the garlic noodles, these were probably the weakest thing we got since some of the noodles were a little dry but the flavor was very good and we just cut off the dry parts so it was no big deal. We also got the Adobo bowl and that was sooooo good, I would highly recommend it, the chicken was pull apart tender, the rice was perfect, and the mac salad was also delicious. We will definitely be going back :) Total with tip: $44.93
