Filipino Restaurants near Renton, WA

“MEKENIE FILIPINO RESTAURANT In the large Filipino community that has come to South King County in the last 20 years you ask the question: Is there Filipino cuisine in Renton? It seems like a tall order. But it isn't. You just have to ask. And the answer is Mekenie's! Opened in 2018 by Monna Lisa Perez, the restaurant is run by her daughter Jonnarae greeting you in the front of the house and son, ChaRly in kitchen making up your tasty fair. Located in the Cascade neighborhood of Renton, Mekenie is housed in the Cascade Mall. Although unseemingly quiet, it quickly gets packed on a Saturday afternoon for lunch, and sometimes on Sunday. The restaurant is also available for private bookings. On a technical note, their food and hospitality has aspects from the Pampangan region of the Philippines, known for its rich culinary heritage. This tradition was on display in this homestyle decor with homestyle tastes that any diner will recognize, and where Filipino Americans will find comfort. All are tasty. As an appetizer, I had the fresh, hand rolled, deep-fried pork lumpia - which came out piping hot out the fryer (awesome). I also had a traditional pork Sinigan with just the right amounts of tamarind, lemon, and tomato - making a nice clear consume broth. And just a little bit of Philippine style fish-sauce for taste. One note, no Coke products here. It must be Pepsi - Definitely a Filipino thing.Philippine brand snacks and drinks are also available to round out the experience. Stop by. Have Pepsi, and prepare to order! Mabuhay!! #supportrentoneats #mekeniefilipinorestaurant“

“Auntie Lei’s food is SO delicious. Honestly we wish we found it sooner.
We will be back on EVERY Seattle trip.
Make a stop here- you won’t regret it.

Reminds me of Mama’s cooking- especially if you’re Filipino! Thank you Auntie Lei and family!“

“The service here was very great, they all were extremely nice. The food was, of course, was delicious for me especially sisig and sinigang chicken wings. The sisig is definitely my most favorite here since it’s not too bitter, not too sweet and it’s just perfect for me. Great service, great food! I would definitely come back with my stuff-toy bunnies hehe. 🐰 ps: i was going to use the bathroom but saw a password panel, asked the person about it for the code but you don’t actually need a code, haha.“

“The best restaurant in Seattle under new management. Food and service are great. We will visit again. Highly recommended.“

“Our family always gets lechon from here so we decided to get one for our son's 1st birthday party. They did not disappoint! Meat was so tender and tasted so good! We only had about 60 guests for an XL pig and it was almost finished! Will get it here again for sure when we need lechon“

“the best ube & vietnamese coffee cheesecake😍“

“Good service and delicious food“

“One of my favorite quick and easy travel meals in the city! I used to go multiple times a weeks when the location was downtown. The new capital hill spot has fairly easy parking. Though not near my work route, I still make the trip over for the bacon/ham/ egg or the garlic beef. Lots of amazing stuff to try with loads of light and airy seating options.“

“This is a great restaurant, the people and the food are great for the most part. A lot of people have an issue with the weird times this place is open and with the price of the food. I understand that the pandemic hit hard, and it's hard to run a restaurant. However, there are definitely things to critique. The food is good, but expensive for small portions. They are also having a menu change at the end of August (that's what I was told last time I came here). They changed the vegan lumpia to only have vegetables in it (tasted like a spring roll), and are getting rid of the adobo burger (no longer on menu) :(. The current menu does not have any lumpia besides the new vegetable one, no dessert, and no potatoes. I thought the lumpia was a favorite? I used to visit every now and then because we love the lumpia, but I don't know how often I'll visit after the change. Maybe it will be good though, I can update later. This place was great, sad to see a decline because of the pandemic or other issues :( If you have the money, it's a good place to support!“

“this restaurant needs more location food is great!“

“The food is always great!“

“stopped by on a whim as I drove down west valley highway and I was very pleased with the service and food! ordered lumpia, crispy pork belly combo and a brown sugar boba and I was blown away! the crispy pork was beyond good! came with a Mac salad some diced veggies and a wonderfully flavored rice with green onion. the lumpia was freshly made and the boba complimented everything. 10/10 would recommend“

“Amazing food and cocktails! Great friendly service. Highly recommend.“

“We had wild cats do drop off catering of their fiesta trays for our wedding rehearsal dinner. Food was an absolute hit. The team was easy to work with. Drop off was prompt and couldn’t recommend them more! They worked with us on the menu to make sure we had the right amount of food without over ordering and everything was delicious!“

“I had a great experience at Grill City in Tukwila! The food was fresh and delicious, but what truly made the visit exceptional was Linda. She was amazing—friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcomed. Her service alone is worth coming back for.“
