    I visited Bicol Express in Fairfield and really enjoyed the experience. The food was good, comforting, and had that home-cooked feel -- exactly what you'd expect from authentic Filipino cuisine. If you're in the area and craving a meal that tastes like it came straight from a Filipino kitchen, this is definitely a spot worth trying. The service was great and the staff was very friendly, which made the visit even better. It's a restaurant and mini market. They have selection of Filipino items you can bring home! Overall, I'd rate Bicol Express a 5 out of 5 stars.

    Pointed object found in the food

    So I ordered something like Ground Beef (as pictured), monggo, beef steak.. We finished the 2 and just about to finish and reheat the one with the ground beef.. As reheated, I found something pointed object.. Just imagine since it is ground beef what if I didnt see it? Whose throat will get hurt? They should be really careful, it might be from their stocks / supplies when they open it goes to their pans or pots .. One star for them for this negligence

    Tapsilog

    As a Bicolana, I was surprised and excited to see a local Filipino restaurant focusing on Bicolano cuisine. My mom and the rest of my family members are originally from Cam Sur in Bicol, Philippines, so I grew up eating a lot of the food they serve here. The food is quite good. Tapsilog is one of my favorite breakfast meals to eat, so of course I had to order it. It comes with garlic fried rice, egg, and delicious & tender marinated beef. They give a good serving of it, so you'll definitely be satisfied after eating it. I also ordered Ginataang Langka, which is jackfruit in coconut milk and fermented shrimp paste (bagoong), another personal favorite of mine. Although the ginataang langka was good, I still prefer my aunt and uncle's homemade ginataang langka. Lastly, I ordered Shanghai Lumpia for my daughter to try. Their Shanghai lumpia is very good! Overall, my mom, daughter, and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals from Bicol Express. I look forward to eating here again!

    Catering Menu  Good for catering especially since not a lot of options around the area

    Food is good. Service at tine of order and payment for catering was good. However I think they might not have good systems in place. I pre-paid for over $300+ of catering order so my husband will have no issues picking up. They said I wouldn't need the receipt so I opted not to get a receipt but when my husband went for pick up they tried charging him again -- had to send him my bank charge with $300+ for the catering order. They need to make sure to mark it as PAID IN FULL or tell me to bring receipt (like I said they told me I wouldn't need it). My husband was stuck there for like half an hour sorting out my order eventually we did get it but not a good experience!

    Apparently, this place has changed its name to Bicol Express. I think they should update it across all search engines. So, the lady confirmed it used to be Nayong Pilipino. I decided to get bangus (milkfish) sisig which already came with rice. I also tried their kakanin combo of suman (a type of sweet glutinous rice), ube halaya (ube jam) and flan. Both were delicious! I regret not getting condiments for the sisig but it was seasoned well. The kakanin wasn't too sweet so that was appreciated. Prices were reasonable. They also have a mini grocery store which was fun to browse. There's not really a place to eat so I got my food to go. I'll be back!

    Bicol Express is a small turo-turo "point-point"restaurant where you can point out which food items you want to order to dine in or for to go. Some of my recommendations are the pork sisig, menudo, and giniling. The menu changes daily but the rotation is pretty consistent. There are a few aisles of Filipino snacks and grocery items which is super convenient for when you are on the go. Portion sizes are pretty big in my opinion. This is not your fancy sit-down type of restaurant but a no-frills spot for Filipino dishes.

    What I've liked the best about this place - which has changed names a few times over the years, is the lumpia. You can call 5 min before you want to leave to pick it up and it will be ready. Great for potlucks and hosting. The food counter has not been as appetizing as I'm not a big fan of cafeteria style - you don't know how long it has been sitting or not. Fair that I should try it at least once - maybe that will be my update. The restaurant isn't the most tidy / esthetically pleasing so that's not the most inviting. The market is newer with the most recent name change, and it's nice to have, but it's a smaller variety of processed/packaged/frozen food, no produce. Last time I went I browsed the market and left with a few things, including a juice. Still solid for lumpia and in my neighborhood, but I probably would go elsewhere for Filipino hot dishes. Five stars for the lumpia, 3 for the rest, so four stars.

When I got handed my order, it was already watery (which only usually happens a bit later when the ice melts and in the middle of eating it) so the consistency wasn't right. Also, not much variety of toppings as I had to search and dig for any beans which are my favorite and it was mainly big chunks of banana and nata de coco and a few jackfruit. The scoop of ice cream was so nominal it melted before I could throughly enjoy it. Overall, not worth the hefty price tag. But I had to try it to find out. Maybe you can give it a try and give it a shot yourself if you're ever craving Halo Halo.

Heidi was on the chopping block today and absolutely dialed in--fast, precise, and on point. Reyna was as welcoming as ever and made the whole experience feel like family.

    Traditional Filipino dishes [Vallejo CA]…read more We were in the area and were looking for a place to eat preferably serving Filipino cuisine since we have limited options in Roseville. Hubby found this restaurant and so we drove to the place. First thing you'll notice once you enter the restaurant is the warm temp inside - no AC but they have electric fans going on. To the right is a long shelf with a variety grocery items while the table seating is laid out in the center. TV was tuned in to a channel playing a Filipino movie. This is a "turo-turo" style food ordering, meaning no table service instead you go to where the dishes are cooked in large portions (which is towards the back of the restaurant) and you choose which ones you want. We ordered: Pork Sinigang - a little too sour for me but this is a classic Filipino soup with pork ribs, vegetables, and tamarind broth. Bistek (beef steak) - thin slices of marinated beef before smothered in a deeply savory sauce and topped with golden-seared onions Pork Adobo - classic Filipino dish of pork simmered in vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic Kaldereta - goat meat stew I didn't try the kaldereta but all the other dishes were good and delicious. You will definitely feel the Filipino hospitality here. Street parking. Maraming salamat! Review #3929

    Amazing Filipino food perfect for our wedding reception!…read more This is what we ordered for our wedding reception: pork sisig, chopsuey, pancit canton, chicken adobo, laing, sweet and sour fish, chicken lumpia, pork menudo, and white rice. Everything was delicious! Nothing was too oily or salty. Most of our guests were Filipino but even my non-Filipino friends who haven't tried a lot of Filipino dishes yet enjoyed the food. The medium trays were the perfect size for our party of 35. The only thing I regret is not convincing my then fiancé to order more lumpia! 50 lumpia ran out so quick I didn't get to taste one. That's OK though because I plan to come in person to order the lumpia! We did have leftovers after the reception, even after people took some to go. The leftovers reheated well and I ate them for my work lunches. Jane was our point of contact. We exchanged emails and text messages. We sent our order via email and Jane emailed us an estimate. We then paid for our order in person. We paid for delivery and they had all the food delivered to our reception. They communicated with our point person for our reception venue. In person, Jane was friendly. It did take some time for us to hear back via email, but Jane always responded fast through text.
