Ordered medium rare prime time and it came medium well. Should have just taken it like that because the kitchen staff sent the replacement out next to raw. I'd never been so disappointed with the management in any restaurant in my entire life. I wouldn't eat here if it was free! EVERYTHING ON MY PLATE WAS DISGUSTING! The only thing I could possibly state about the place was our waitress was extremely understanding and tried to remedy the situation without the help of her manager who never came to the table though we asked to speak with her. She just stayed at the counter until we were leaving then she conveniently disappeared into the kitchen. Save your money and energy. I'd eat at Dennys before this place! read more

Friend of mine took me here with his family and, for all the time I've been living in Daly City / Colma, I didn't know this place existed! What's more, I didn't even know it was connected to a casino. :-O Imagine dining out next to gambling and graves, heh! LOVE THIS PLACE! Classic diner with both Western & Filipino dishes that are guaranteed to fill you up. Though I first came here for dinner, my favorite meal is actually breakfast where they have silogs, the Filipino breakfast meal of rice, eggs, and meat. YUM! This is the kind of breakfast I could eat all day. The staff is always friendly and efficient. I don't even need to ask to get my soda refilled ... they just know! I've now put Cafe Colma into my regular rotation and visit at least once a fortnight. read more

Iykyk this place is a Bay Area staple. I've been to this place so many times and it just crossed my mind, why haven't I reviewed this place yet lol. I came in and ordered the Bansilog combo with tapa as my meat option. The food here is decent. It definitely hits the spot after a night out. The service here comes and goes depending on the day. On most days I've been here, I've received satisfactory service. This restaurant is located inside a casino and the parking can be rough depending what time you visit. All in all this place is one my go to spots after a night out in the city. Try it out if you like! read more

Cafe Colma - Bansilog combo w/tapa - Filipino Near Me - Colma, California

We decided to come here for dinner after car shopping with our friend on auto row nearby. We parked in the underground parking garage and took the elevator up to the main floor of the casino where the cafe is located. We were led to a nice booth by the window- you get a view of the outdoor parking lot. The cafe offers Filipino & Chinese cuisine. The three of us shared- * Kare kare - very tasty in a thick stewy sauce. It was hard to distinguish the oxtail stew meat if it wasn't still on the bone. * lechon - excellent pork belly. The skin was very crispy and good amount of pork to fat. * BBQ pork chow fun - great wok umami. It was our friend's first time eating here. She enjoyed everything. Service was friendly and efficient. read more

Ate there about a week ago. The carpet is old, stained, and stinky. It smelled like decades worth of wet feet. I was afraid of taking bites of my food because I didn't want that stank to go with each bite. If it's that bad where the patrons sit then I don't even want to think about how bad it is in the kitchen. Also, they're overpriced. They charged me $21 for a cup of sisig. read more

This used to be a cool place to eat.The food was great. The food is noticeably different. It was more more special before and not so common.The prices were great. The service is still great .

Thank you for always being open!!! On late hours after a flight, concert, show, movie, happy hour or just being hungry around the area, this place is a good stop before heading home. Comforting filipino food always. Kare Kare good although I would love it more with tripe Kaldereta was also good Sisig ok in taste but did not taste like sisig hahaha it's more like chopped pork barbecue Tocilog - this was surprisingly the worse tocilog I've had. It was ok I guess but the meat did not taste like tocino at all. It's like in between tocino and tapa. It wasn't as sweet as tocino should be and the texture felt like beef tapa but thicker. The fried rice and egg was good though Service is always good! Ambait ni ate! Halo Halo and Turon - I didn't get to taste them but seemed good since there weren't any leftovers read more

Another review on their 'silogs'. And my previous one was at 'Lucky Chances' , now this one's 'Cafe Colma' which IS the same place. Treated myself on Good Friday to a 'ban-si-log' and coffee for breakfast. I left nothing on my plate except the bones. (Ate the whole thing...) read more

Happened to be in the area and stopped by for another hearty breakfast. The eggs on longanisa dish was a feast for the eyes (and the stomach) and the lonsilog combo platter was also very tasty. Food was served very quickly which was perfect as we didn't have very much time to visit. Never ending coffee refills was also amazing. Overall cozy spot to come and enjoy some Filipino comfort food! read more

Do not ever order to-go here. Guess our theory was correct all along. Portions were a quarter of what you'd get if you dine in. The kare kare came in a single tub, it had veggies alright - 3 long beans - the sauce was almost none existent to the point it was almost dry, all.for.a whopping $25. + tax!!!! TF! read more

My family, friends, and I have been coming to Lucky Chances for Cafe Colma for over two decades. Cafe Colma offers classic American breakfast, Filipino, chinese food, and daily specials that make you want to order more than one thing .Went back for this first time in a real long time, because I was craving some real deal Filipino breakfast silogs! For those that don't know, silogs are basically a protein, plus garlic rice and eggs. They have a bunch of protein options, so I typically opt for the comsilog, which is a combo of two different proteins. My recent visit, I went with the corned beef and longanisa sausage. There's just something about Filipino corned beef that just hits the spot everytime. It was flavorful and so delicious. The longanisa was ok, a little overcooked, but still tasty. It comes with a side of dipping vinegar and it's perfect to dip or pour over your meal. For the comsilog ($19.95) + tax + tip, it came out to just under $25. I remember back in the day it used to be $12.95, those were the days lol. Unfortunately those prices just aren't realistic like they were back in the early 2000s, and I've just come to accept that. While it is more expensive, I chalk it up to a sign of the times, and it won't stop me from coming back. While they aren't 24 hours anymore, they are still open til 4am everyday. If you are looking for a quality meal, for some post night out eating, this is still a solid place to go to. Skip the fast food, and get you some corned beef silog! read more

this place is inside Lucky Chances cafe and it is a time capsule of such a homey, 90s diner vibe all from the upholstery on the bar seats, carpet design, music, to the tita's' serving uniforms. this was my first time at cafe colma and it definitely won't be my last - we went in and i saw a mix of both older, younger, and family crowds so i knew this place was a SPOT. as soon as we walked in a server spotted us halfway across the dining area and waved us over to be sat in a 2-person booth immediately. She tossed the menus down at us without saying hi back to me, but honestly couldn't even be mad i was excited to have real filipino food for the first time in a while. we got the bangusilog (milk fish) and tapsilog and just under 8 minutes later the food came out. i devoured the shit in like half that time and my tummy kinda hurt still ngl. but ts was sooo good we even got dessert at the end. he got turon with ube ice cream and i got ginataang bilo bilo (think of a warm dessert stew of tapioca pearls, glutinous rice balls, langka, and taro bits suspended in a condensed milk-like stew...but it's not that sweet!!). i couldn't finish my ginataang but the 2 pieces of turon that nate got were about damn near as long as my forearm. unfortunately they have him the wrong flavor ice cream (mango instead of ube) but he didn't care and it was still good all the same definitely coming back with a group next time read more

Café Colma serves some great Filipino food and has been one of my go-to spots for years. I definitely recommend trying the beef caldereta, pork or bangus belly sinigang, kare kare, and their Filipino spaghetti. Their silogs are also really good if you are craving a classic Filipino breakfast. The prices here are on the higher side, and like most places, there are a few items on the menu I would skip. Every restaurant has its hits and misses, but if you stick to the dishes I mentioned, you will have a great meal. I also like that they offer daily specials, and they have a reasonably priced prime rib plate which is a nice option if you want something different. On top of their Filipino dishes, they do a good job with some Chinese options too. The salt and pepper fish and the beef with oyster sauce are both solid choices. Over the years, I have had a few mixed experiences here, but when it comes to finding good Filipino food late at night, Café Colma is still a reliable option. Just make sure you order the right dishes and you will leave happy. read more

nice quiet place for lunch or dinner. parking can be hit or miss so park across the street as they have a huge lot. i always come for the fried rice, pot stickers and coffee. they serve peet's, which explains why the coffee is so good. will try the prime rib one of these days. prices are on the high end but i'm good with it as they treat us well each and every single time. we always ask for maria. read more

As many times as I've "checked in", I can't believe I've never left a review. lol We've had several different dishes here, but always tend to order off the Filipino menu. Since we came on a Sunday, it was quite busy and we waited about 15 min for a table. The most recent lunch we ordered kare kare, sisig bangus, lechon kawali & the comsilog (pork chop & tapa). Everything was delicious! Our server was very attentive, always checking on us and refilling our glasses of water. We will be returning soon! read more

Love the old-school vibe of this place. Lots of cuisines and various dishes on the menu. I go for the yummy, unpretentious Filipino food. The bagoong that goes with the tortang talong is so deliciously savory. Fast service and open 24 hours. Yes, this place is an institution. Go visit! read more

Everything in the menu is delicious. Never had a bad experience here in 15+ years Service is always prompt & friendly no matter if it's busy or slow. Nothing fancy here, it's clean, it's not quiet, it's a casino is Colma, not Vegas. I definitely recommend I definitely come back always. read more

We used to come here before and I remember enjoying their Filipino food. We decided to come here since we're in Daly City. I was disappointed with the food I ordered. I had their bansilog. It came with fried rice, eggs, and milkfish. The fish portion is small and the rice is a bit cold. As for the price of the meal, I thought that it was a bit expensive and the meal is not huge. I was expecting more and the meal to be warm. I did not enjoy a meal and wasted my time going to this place. It will take me a while to come back here again. read more

Great food, Price is reasonable, friendly staff,

I'm just here for the prime rib! I haven't tried anything else they have. I go to HOPR if I want the full feast of prime rib plus a bunch of awesome sides, but on days when I just want something simple and more wallet-friendly, I get my prime rib here. $38 w/tax for a generous chunk of meat is a great deal around SF in my book, and about half the price of HOPR's King Cut last I checked. The prime rib is perfectly done, tender and juicy, and perfectly fatty. I order medium rare in case it's overdone, since I can always cook it a bit more at home. It comes with mashed potato, a side of basic veggies (I think canned), and generous portions of au jus and gravy. All around a delicious, decadent (if unhealthy) meal for me! read more

Great food and great service! Had their kare-kare and it was awesome. Wife had the longanisa-bangus combo "silog". Good stuff!!

THE YUMMIEST Filipino food whenever you want! Seriously. This place has some of the best beef kaldereta I've ever had and im always down for a comsilog (combo) of tocino and Bangus! I've brought my whole family to enjoy some Filipino dishes too and we have to say it's definitely a favorite. The service can be a hit or miss depending on how busy it is, but for the handful of times we've gone, the service has been good! Parking can sometimes be a bit hard to find outside of the parking garage. Also, the casino doesn't wreak of smoke either so it's cool to bring your family for a nice get together. read more

Gone here plenty of times for years but the last couple times has been disappointing. Not sure if it new chefs but the food wasn't late night satisfying as it used to be. Besides being out of tapa and pork chops, we weren't happy at all. The order of goto tasted sour. The bangus was just dry. The Filipino spaghetti didn't look appealing. The sinigang was barely touched. The service is not consistent. It's either good or bad. Just sucks that we couldn't enjoy what we were looking forward to. read more

I always love Cafe Colma! I have been coming here with my best friend for years, she has recommended this place to me and it has become my go to for Chinese and Filipino eats. We normally get seated quick, and our waiter/waitress will give us glasses of ice cold water (my favorite lol). Other families dine here, it can be full/packed depending on the day but I always have good luck. There was one day where we knew it would be so busy inside, because we could not find parking for the longest; there is one lot to find parking in, so this was nerve wracking lol. Our food was ready within 15 minutes. I normally get longanisa, and this time I took my partner with me so they could try it! They ordered the pork fried rice; I tasted some and it was super yummy. I will always be back here!!!!! read more

Great late night Filipino food, my 2am nilaga was a hit. Double backed two days later before I had to fly back home and the bulalo was good. Arroz caldo was good as well but it is definitely on the super thick side. The toppings were bomb next time I'll get extra chicharon. The boiled egg it comes with is all sliced up and I also ordered extra lemon to top it off. Service is fairly quick and the ladies working here are so sweet. It gives like an older diner vibe and it's very clean in there too. read more

I was in the area craving Filipino food and found this place on Yelp. Bansilog combo $22 (2.5) - milkfish, marinated beef with garlic rice and two sunnyside up eggs. The beef did not taste fresh. It was chewy and tasted like leftovers that was just microwaved. The milkfish was okay, it wasn't soft and tasted like it was in the freezer and popped it in an oven. The garlic rice was good. The eggs was the only thing that was freshly made. Hennessy VSOP $12 - There's no price on the menu for drinks so you have to ask. The menu shows different types of Hennessy so we asked how much for the Hennessy VSOP. The server kept saying there's no VSOP and only one Hennessy available for $10. I tried to tell her there's different types of Hennessy on the menu and she kept insisting there's only one type. She was very persistent that they didn't have VSOP so I said okay I'll take it. She comes back and tells us it's $12 because it's VSOP. I told her that's what I initially asked for but she said they didn't have it. Instead of going back and forth with her because she seemed to be uneducated on Hennessy so I told her I didn't want it anymore. Few minutes later, a different server comes over and gives us a shot of Hennessy and I told him I did not order that. The original server comes back and said she already put in the order so the Hennessy shot is ours. Not cool to put in the order and then change the price and still key it in. When the food came, the server offered us hot sauce and ketchup. It never came. Initially I was going to give this establishment 3 stars but as I'm writing the review, the Hennessy situation reminded me how unprofessional that was. There's better Filipino food out there, just not this place. read more

I've been in the Bay Area my whole life and have always heard about cafe colma/ lucky chances but never got to going around here. Came here on a weeknight and it was still fairly busy. This place is definitely good for late night munchies after drinking or even after concerts since they're open 24 hrs! It's all Filipino food, so the portions are big and filling. We got the silog plates and the kare kare. The kare kare has a peanut sauce to it and is pretty heavy - so it goes good with the garlic rice they have. The marinate pork and longanisa sausages were good! The pork chop was a little dry , but crispy. The place can seat a good amount of people and its average restaurant noise. For sure a good place to have casual dinners and just get your fix of Filipino foods read more

I'm from SoCal and NorCal does not have any good tacos shops or anything good open 24 hours.. until I found this place. I hate casinos but I love this Cafe. It's unique, has American, Chinese, and Filipino dishes on the menu and it's tasty. I like how it's a cafe with huge TVs playing sports, and old SF photography randomly hanging from the wall. There's always a crowd and it has this nostalgic 1950s Asian diner vibe like a scene from Grease (if Grease had Filipinos). It has a little bit of everything thrown into one place that is open day and night. What more can you ask for? and look - the service isn't great, yes you gotta wait, yes the waitress has attitudes, but that just adds to the beauty and character of this place when you're hungry at 2 am in the morning and want to hang out with your friends for just a little bit longer. Enjoy the moment here. It's fun. Also if anyone out there reading this knows of a good 24-hour spot please send it my way! As for the food, if you like fish get the Bangus. It's my favorite. read more

Went for Midnight Meal Food - 5/5. Kare-kare had a rich sauce that tasted like it was allowed to sit and intensify its flavor for eons which was showcased by the strong colors in the oil. Meats were mostly tender except some parts were chewy near the bone. Its temperature ranged from warmer to lukewarm; I would have enjoyed it more if everything was hot. Rice was fluffy and warm. Spam was deep fried resulting in a very crunchy skin with juicy meat. Eggs were fried well and the sinangag was aromatic. Sinangag was a bit on the oily side, but this was nothing some vinegar couldn't fix. Turon was fantastic! It was glazed with sugar and the extra wrapper added a lot of crunch. Filling was not too sweet and creamy while the ube ice cream added more richness. Service - 4/5. It is very busy even late into the night but service was timely and always available. Value - 5/5. Prices are on the higher side for Filipino cuisine with silogs being $17 or higher and entrees being in the high 10s to low 20s range. However, given that they offer delicious, hot, classic Filipino food at 3:00 AM, it is a great deal. Portion sizes are good and especially satisfying in the midnight hours.

Lucky Chances is a casino that also has a restaurant (Cafe Colma) that is super convenient since it is open 24/7. After picking up my parents from the airport, we were looking for a sit down restaurant that was open late night. Everything was pretty much closed, so we decided to go to Lucky Chances. Personally, every time that I am here I always go with my safe choice and get a longsilog, and it is always super good. This past time that I went, I ended up getting the tapsilog, which is tapa, or marinated beef, two eggs, with garlic rice and a side of vinegar. The garlic rice, vinegar, and eggs were super good as always. But when it came to the tapa, it wasn't that flavorful, which kind of made my experience kind of mid. I definitely would not get the tapsilog again, probably just stick to my usual longsilog. My mom got the shrimp fried rice, and that was probably worse than the tapsilog. It was barely seasoned! I would stray away from that if you are considering getting that. I am for sure coming back here, but probably never going to get the tapsilog again. I would definitely rate this place a 4/5, but from my most recent experience, it's unfortunately getting a mid 3/5. read more

I like this spot because it's open late, it's inside of a casino but it's overpriced. My longanisa with rice and eggs was $17.99 for a basic sized entree. I think I would only come here if I was craving filipino food late at night because it's the only thing open. The service was kinda slow and I noticed the mood of the servers were very apathetic. I think I came around 1am on a Tuesday and it was pretty slow. The food was good but I think the price and service is what would keep me from coming here. read more

I came here midday almost half a year ago for the first time and was blown away by the fact that they're open 24/7! I got the chicken adobo and my friend got one of their -silogs. Their chicken adobo was pretty good! I'm not a connoisseur of chicken adobo but the meat was super tender and the sauce had a nice balance of umami and acid AND it was a pretty fair portion size. However, couldn't say the same for my friend's plate since it was a bit small. All in all, not my go to spot for Filipino food but I'm keeping it in my back pocket for those late night outings. read more
