I ordered Ham for the first time yesterday to serve for Thanksgiving. What a DISAPPOINTMENT !!! Paid $100 for something that looks good from the outside but once sliced, it's DRY and BLAND. DOES NOT TASTE ANYTHING ! What's more surprising is the MEAT SEEMS OLD ! Have a little bite and it will leave a distinct roughness inside your mouth !!! I will bring it to their attention and won't recommend ! read more

Casa Victoria - a large roast of meat in a pan - Filipino Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

It's a small store where you can find products from the Philippines. You can get Filipino hot food and treats here. A lot of varieties such as suman, bibingka, balut etc. The food here is mediocre. The people here are not the friendliest. read more

I STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!!! If I could give a NEGATIVE rating for this place, I would. I ordered a Lechon Belly and confirmed 2x on the order; once a week in advance and reconfirmed 2 days prior to pick up. Lo and behold, i show up to pick up my order, only to be told they never processed the order. Even after checking their caller ID to verify that I indeed called, not one person apologized for the negligence nor offered anything to make up for this oversight. It's not even about the mere oversight, it's the arrogance and poor customer service. read more

Me n my wife went there n we are American the staff is rude n the place looks dirty. They didnt help in anyway just worry about the money they charge for bags. Neva again read more

I just called to inquire about the lead time to order a holiday ham and the person that answered the phone was quite rude and presumptuous thinking I was ordering for Christmas when my plan was to order for New Year's Eve so I had to clarify and she was probably embarrassed by her assumption and tried to back track and rudely hung up on me. Never ordered here and never will and after further review of their Holiday ham here on Yelp it seems they have nothing to brag about anyways poor customer service and the person that answers the phone needs to be educated on soft skills and good customer service by politely answering customer's inquiries. She definitely knows how to lose a potential customer quick read more

I've only ever had the bibingka (Filipino rice cake), but that's more than enough to keep me coming back! Only $2 for one of the biggest, freshest bibingka I've ever had (and I'm Filipina, so that's saying a lot lol). And all their other foods look fresh and delicious, too. One day I'll get more than just bibingka, but it's just so yummy. They also sell other goods aside from food, so they're a good spot when you're looking for anything related to Filipino culture. Parking is a bit tough because while there's lots of metered parking (both street and a public lot), it's a very busy area. And also note that the people there are very kind and generous. My family had a fundraiser after Typhoon Yolanda, and they were one of our first sponsors to donate to our cause. I'll forever be grateful to them for that. read more

Casa Victoria - Bibingka (Filipino rice cake). - Filipino Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

See all

In a nutshell, this is a Filipino restaurant/bazaar where you can enjoy good Filipino food...with statues of baby Jesus and the Virgin Mary looking over you. The Restaurant: Very good home cooked Filipino food served at the steam table. Unlike most Filipino restaurants, they have a sizable offerings of fish dishes. Their "bibingka" (a Filipino pastry rice cake) is absolutely the best you can find outside of the Philippines. The Market/Bazaar: Seems like they have a little bit of everything such as religious statues, baskets, wood carvings, books/novellas, plants, Filipino ice cream ("mais con yelo" and "ube" flavors in effect!), garlic roasted peanuts that you can buy by the cup and Filipino X'mas decorations to name a few. At some point, I think they were even selling traditional Filipino formal clothing (barong). Also, don't forget their outstanding "siopao" (steamed bun w/various fillings) and "hopia" (Filipino version of the Chinese moon cakes). Yep, all of that in one tiny place. Crazy. But in a good way. Plus, it doesn't get too crowded esp. on Sundays after church. read more

We were in such a rush due to parking situation that we decided to drop by this place for a quick bite before the long drive home. The place is a store/turo turo/bakery.The food wasn't hot so she had to warm it up in the microwave. Everything in the display was cold. Dont know how long everything was sitting out in display. Questionable food safety issues.Will not recommend nor will we be back. Instead head 2 doors down for better prices/stocks. read more

I accidentally checked into Casa Victoria on the Yelp app thinking it was the restaurant that I ate at. Nope, wrong. It was Fiesta Grill. However, I didn't want to get an additional check-in without actually seeing what's inside so I trekked on in... ...aaaaaand 30 seconds later, I did NOT want to leave. At all. 'cuz Bibingka. Oh, yes -- the Bibingka (Filipino rice cake). I've been to multiple Filipino bakeries in the Philippines and in California, but goodness gracious, I have not been to one where the aroma of toasted coconut appeals to each and every one of my senses and forces me to buy a couple, or four...okay, more like six. I mean, they're gorgeous. Each Bibingka that one of the ladies was moving to a tray were fresh from the oven, golden brown, had plenty of keso puti (white cheese) topping each cake, and smelled absolutely wonderful. How did they taste? For starters, they are soft. It's funny because when I took a bite, it just melted in my mouth. For a pastry that looks like it has the texture and taste of plain corn bread, it was much lighter than I expected. The sweetness was not overpowering at all, with the sugar complimenting the butter they brush on top of each rice cake. Of course, Bibingka isn't the only thing they sell. There is homemade Hopia (similar to moon cake) in a vertical glass case -- one with mongo and the other being Hopia Baboy. There is also a nice selection of viands/entrees available on a long table; food is kept in a warming tray. On the day I went, I saw a variety of fried fish, some crispy looking Okoy (round shrimp fritters), what appeared to be Pancit Canton (egg noodles), and a couple of vegetable viands among other dishes. As the video suggests, Casa Victoria also sells traditional Filipino garb like Barong Tagalog and various Filipinianas'. While I wasn't in search of any Barongs, I noticed that there were only a few left. Also available are Filipino souvenirs, paintings, a few groceries, and traditional handicrafts. read more

Tons of freshly baked goods. It's not nearly as sweet as what Americans (yeah, yeah, that includes me, y'all) and with north Texas sorely lacking in Filipino goods, you bet we bought a garbage bag-size worth of goodies to bring back to Texas like some kind of brown Santa Claus arguing with United Airlines that it's only ONE carry on bag. Just one! Count it!~ Uh, anyways, the lady working here was nice enough to let me sample her cake rolls. She had ube, green young coconut, mocha, and mango. I went with the coconut and I really enjoyed the light flavor. I heard her questioning my heritage in Tagalog, so I responded in English that I'm half Filipino #storyofmylife They have some great light up stars and baby saints and stuff for your house too! read more

Nice little hidden spot at the end of the block. Ube bread and baked goods where super good. They have lots of hot food and some combos and specials so great for a takeaway meal if you're in the area. Also found a few unique items lisome nice milk candy there and you can pick up a Calamondin tree or calamansi as you say in Philippines for some fresh squeeze at home. read more

My go to place for Filipino treats, baked goods and snacks. Their ukoy is the best and everything is such a great value!

If there is a negative star, that is the rating I will give this place. Just like other reviewers, I experienced the rudeness of the woman on the counter. She dies not want to be asked. extremely rude so I took my business elsewhere. I'm surprised it is still in business. read more

Another Filipino Restaurant I wanted to try. A nice big place where you can enjoy lunch or dinner with a company. What I enjoyed the most here was their siopao, which is basically a white flour bread with chicken inside. Kind of like empanadas but not ;) I like it because its mostly white meat which I like, and the sauce inside is very flavorful. They have good barbeque meat on a stick as well as served with rice on the side. My girl liked their milkfish (Bangus) in here. Anways, they also serve a couple of dessert/pastries here but didnt get to try them. Mention Yelp here and they will give you a free hopia in any flavor with your combo meal ;) awesome! read more

Ah, filipino food. How I love you. really I do... sometimes, when I go to a turo turo place, I feel like I'm in an action anime cartoon. I point at the food I want, as if I'm summoning it to be on my side (that is a part of my belly) and hoping they work, shoot lightening or whip senses to happiness.. hmm. pokemon much? Now let's focus here: this place is great for turo turo style filipino food. They have a combo meal, 2 side dishes with noodles (pancit) or rice for around 6 bucks. (YES! WOOOHOOO! that means my fatty self can buy 2 meals and grab a spread... if i want to.) Now onto the break down: Casa Victoria has a mish mash of everything. Baked goods, fresh/ yummy food, and.. wait.. a sec... there's cultural items too?!?! The place has beautiful paintings by filipino artists. In the back of the turo turo, there are vintage, filipino dresses (which one day I want to buy and sashay in a la immelda marcos style) and capiz wind chimes, and religious statues (see how santo nino and buddha can mingle? yep. seems like the gods favor casa v.) As I eat my white rice and meat combo, I stare around on which other items I want to attack.. the baked items? the ukoy? omg.. flan? pan de sal? hmmm... options. (SQUEALER ALERT!) THEY HAVE SIOPAO and HOME MADE HOPIA! Best time to eat here is in the noon, where everything is fresh. Carry cash, to bring home stash. Oh, and bring towelettes. read more

One word: Sansrival. Taken from Wikipedia: Filipino dessert cake made of layers of buttercream, meringue and chopped cashews. Its name comes from the French phrase with the literal meaning without rival. The cake may be decorated, left plain or garnished with pistachios. My wife and kids are crazy about this dessert. read more

Tried their hopia mungo - just ok. Not too sweet or maybe the dough is too thick. But if the mungo was sweeter, it would've been better. read more

Delicious Filipino food and desserts!! Very friendly staff and warm atmosphere. Cannot wait to go back for more goodies!!

I love this place! Very homestyle vibes and the women who work there are so nice! Ordered the hopia (baboy, buko-pandan, mungo), bibingka, cassava cake, and chicken empanadas. Haven't finished trying everything yet but the empanadas were soooooo good. Moist, flavorful without being too salty, and nice chewy dough covering. Will definitely be back for more! read more

Ordered over the phone for Christmas Eve and had a great experience. Food pick-up was seamless and it was a pleasant transaction. The food, especially the holiday ham, was good. Today, I had wanted to place another order for New Year's Eve even if the store was far from our location because our initial experience was great. Unfortunately, I encountered unprofessional customer service. The woman on the phone who originally took our order was helpful. However when I had a question about an item on my list, she had to give the phone to another woman. Her voice was familiar. I picked up the Christmas order and she took the payment from me then so I was able to place a face to the voice on the phone. I had wanted a simple clarification, but she made it seem like I wasnt smart enough to understand her answer. I was taken aback, but at no point raised my voice nor returned the same discourtesy. As mentioned earlier, I found her to be a different person last time. So I respectfully restated the question to finalize the order. She then suggested that I stop asking over the phone, and simply drive to the store location to get clarification. Maybe she was having a bad day? Was it because I spoke Filipino so she knew I wont disrespect an elder? But these cant justify the way she dealt with a customer, right? I thought the negative reviews here were unfounded, but I was proven wrong. Anyway, as I was about to finalize everything despite the uncertainty of one item, she then gave me the total she would charge to my card. I asked why it was different from what appears on their website, and she again in a rude manner stated that the information online is old and to just not place the order if I have questions about it. I then respectfully said I'll inform my mother about the price change, but she just abruptly dropped the call. It was a really horrible customer experience. It soured my initial experience at the store (the only reason why I'm still giving them 2 stars). I didnt expect to experience rudeness from any store during the merriment of the holidays, but most definitely didnt expect to get it from a Filipino establishment. read more

Ever look at food prepared banquet style that seemed like it was prepared yesterday? Well, that's why we walked right out... read more

I kinda like Victoria than Rowena restaurant. Victoria House has more food choices and they do bake their own pastries which is excellent. However, their siopao was not the best compare to Antonio's of Maryland. Victoria's siopao has more white bread flour and less chicken stuffing in it. The palabok has no shrimp but the Kare-kare can be a good pick for a 'combo' priced at $5.75 which is less than Rowena's $6. read more

I stopped by here cuz I was starving and I wanted to grab something quick. The food is okay. We had the lunch special with this spicy pork. When the lady told me spicy, she really meant spicy. I loved it though. We bought chicken empanadas to go and our friends had them. They also liked it. read more

The owner is very nice. Once she learned I was Filipina, she threw yummy some lumpia in my combo platter. Try the corned beef baked in the pan de sal-like bun. DELISH! read more

Best filipino cater among the newark ave strip jersey city area...i didnt realize it until i mistakenly dialed the wrong number when i ordered for catering...meant to call philippine bread catering but ended up here....never ordering from anyone else again...dont let the simple humble look of the place. Their food simply tastes better. read more

they have the best ensaymada ever! exactly like Philippines. mouth watering! the bibingka is also superb!!! Siopao! its irresistible! read more

time and time again when i need to get into good graces with my partner, i simply buy some books and chicken siopao from casa victoria. immediately, i am in the clear and lavished with compliments. the titas that own the joint are like my pamilya, asking me about my day and nudging me toward my favorite foods without fail. i often take out of town guests to their brunch. casa's bangus (milkfish), their palabok (noodles with shrimp & pork), and mango shakes come summer are the best. when i want a down-home, welcoming, and affordable food experience, i still go to casa victoria. also, for your pilipino cultural products, you can find rare cook books, history books, books on fashion and politics, even rare children's books that you cannot get outside of maynila or daley city! this is a rare thing when our culture is watered down to primarily food, which is crucial, but not the only aspect that make a culture so radiant. ask to see the books, buy the paroles come winter time, and have yourself a bowl of sinigang. i have to say that after 3 years of residing in jersey city, this business is a mainstay of the neighborhood and of my weekly pin@y learning/loving/eating. read more

Best Siopao we've found in NYC area. We ship them to our family in Ohio. Have also used them to cater family events.

Do not eat there!! I ordered catering for my baby's christening without tasting the food (my fault) but went there two days before the big day to taste the food. Went there with my mom, sis and my husband and right away I see the food they serve looked kinda old. Everything was soggy and smelly but my husband told me to give them the benefit of the doubt. I couldn't eat the food but my mom surely did ( had crabs n veggies) just to throw up 10 min later!!!!! Her stomach was achy for 4 days and the doctor said she had food poisoning. I wanted to cancel n have my money returned to me but not without a right from the owners side. They didn't believe it and had the nerve to say it wasn't my money even though I had the receipt. On top of that they tried to cheat me of 20 bucks cause they didn't include "taxes" in the receipt ( I paid $280) thankfully my husband stepped in n he scared the hell out of that man n lady.. Never go there!! I see ppl righting good stuff abt them in here but they are probably family members or friends of theirs cause my experience was far from what they said in here. read more
