Kilig’s bulalo definitely takes me home to mom’s kitchen back in Mindanao. The broth is clean and flavorful, the beef is super tender, and the bone marrow adds amazing depth. Highly recommended!

I've heard many things about Kilig, about how good it was. When I visited Seattle last week, I did not think twice about not making it there. Upon arrival, the host greeted us, and the ambiance was awesome. We loved that the menu is simple and easy to go through. We got the sinigang wings, and it was top-tier. I like my sinigang not too sour, so this was perfect for my palate. Secondly, I had to order the OG palabok because I am such a palabok girl - no shade to bihon, and it did not disappoint. We were excited for the Bulalo, come on, HOLY grail. That broth reminded of the Philippines, truly! My husband wanted to try the sisig, and he truly loved it. Lastly, we ordered the Ube panna cotta. The touch of jackfruit brought out the notes of Uber even more!

What a hidden treasure! Tucked in on the east side of the International District core this place is a great option for a quick and tasty meal! The OINK OINK Adobo was nicely prepared and just enough heat. The Sizzling Sisig was FABULOUS! Warmly prepared in a delicate peanut and citrus sauce, this one will always be on my tab! The service was friendly and prompt when we visited as they opened up at noon.

Great food. FOH was under staffed that night for reasons unknown but our server hustled calmly and seemed to be keeping up as well as he could. It was also affordable and a fun atmosphere. Would return

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.

My husband and I are from Southern CA — yet by far the best sizzling pork sisig we have ever tasted is found in Seattle 🤩🤤 They’ve also perfected their beef bulalo (beef shank soup with bone marrow) and it was the comfort food we definitely needed on a rainy January day. KILIG is not joking when it comes to flavors. They can surely elevate a Filipino dish without removing its essence. We’re now looking forward to trying the rest of the menu on our next Washington trips. The service is top-notched as well. 🥰

If you are planning on going here with a big group such as 5 people, don’t. I tried going here with 4 other family members and the guy that was suppose to seat us didn’t want to accommodate and told us we can’t be seated, what a waste of time and gas.
This place is the sister restaurant of Musang in International District. We ordered many things to try and sample.
The sizzling sisig was very good. The pork shoulder was very soft and tender and lots of flavor with a slight spicy kick to it. The og palabok was also very good little shrimp and pork ragu, the flavors were very well match with the glass noodles. The sinagang wings and lumpiang Shanghai were also very good but kinda pricey for lumpia. Fried very well, crispy and flavorful along with the great hot honey dipping sauce. The bulalo beef shank soup was good but felt nothing to write home about. It was very tender but nothing too crazy. The Ube panna cotta desert was excellent! It was not overwhelming in ube and not overwhelming in sweetness and soft.
Our waiter was very nice and attentive. She was very accommodating of the kid we had with us for kid friendly utensils which saves many a headache. The decor is cute and has a bit of a bar vibe if anyone is looking for that.

Excellent modern versions of Filipino noodles, chicken wings, sodas and lumpia! Good for lunch or dinner. We have visited several times and Killig never disappoints.

We had a wonderful lunch here, enjoying the Buffalo Beef Shank Soup, Lumpiang, Chicken Wings, and Lug Lug Pancit — everything was delicious. The portion sizes were generous, and we loved every dish. I also had the Marites cocktail, which was one of the best I’ve ever tried—perfectly balanced in sweetness, sourness, and just the right kick. Highly recommended!

Met by pleasant folks but they were also tasked oriented. Clean counter and floors Mellow vibe buy regulars treated affectionately. Bartender was engaging after a bit. Cocktails delicious and varied with mezcal in one, bourbon in another, first sweet and second spicy and both unique Chicken wings hot, crusty fried and neat spice. Didn't see there was a sauce for extra as eyes not great, they could have offered this. Adobe pork with spicy sauce was rich, spicy and delicious.
