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

In some ways,finding a great new restaurant is like finding a great new love affair…read more When you 1st hear of a place,your interest in stirred,When you see pics or videos of the food,it's like the butterflies one gets when infatuation begins.When you finally arrive at the restaurant and the food is everything you thought and hoped it would be,you get this smile that never goes away,just like a great romance.Finally when you think back to the time you spent at a restaurant and the joy and happiness it brought,it's similar to reminiscing about a beautiful time spent with a loved one. 3 Star restaurant in Vallejo is my latest love affair. I first heard about this place on social media when a few prominent food bloggers reviewed this spot and said their wings were the best wings outside of the legendary wing spot located in San Francisco. So I watched the videos and saw the pictures and I was truly excited to try them out. Well Mothers Day rolled around this year and I needed to bring an appetizer to my mothers party we were having that day in American Canyon & the idea of finally trying out their legendary dish was my entire focus. Driving down from Sacramento to get this dish wasn't the easiest of drives on a holiday but I was determined. I called my order in and as the saying goes,the worst the service the better the food-well I was pretty sure my food was going to be legendary based on that phone call. I ended up ordering both the Garlic Sauce Wings($15.95) and the Salt & Pepper Wings($15.95) This restaurant shares a decent sized parking lot with multiple tenants-so parking is not an issue.The neighborhood isn't the best part of Vallejo but I haven't had any issues yet with car security during my visits. When I arrived the restaurant was pretty busy but I noticed a worker had a full table that was full just for To-Go orders and I walked up to her and she handed me my receipt so I could go up to the cashier and pay. 5 minutes later I was in my car totally engrossed with the smell of this amazing chicken. I consider myself a true chicken wing expert and when I say these wings were pure flavor bliss-I truly mean it. The garlic sauce wings were a mix of sweet and savory and garlic with a slight spice-a wet wing experience that makes my mouth water just thinking back on. The salt and pepper wings were perfectly seasoned and a bite of that wing paired with the onion and Jalapeno toppings that come with the dish,can only be described as pure excellence. The chef truly has mastered the recipe and cooking technique on both of these dishes. Fun fact-due to various events in my life,I've had to drive to the Bay Area a few times since Mothers Day-I've been to this restaurant three times now in less than a week-I would say the love affair with this restaurant is burning quite hot at the moment.

Unfortunately for me, the wings were actually really good. Now I got to come back for it. They're…read moresuper busy because they blew up on social media for their garlic sauce chicken wings. To be fair, I've never had San Tung's wings before. Now I have to try to compare them. Family owned so if you come late, they're pretty backordered from dine in, but primarily takeout it seems. The sauce is soy sauce based - salty goodness. Wish there was actually some heat (there are chili peppers, but not spicy at all). Felt like it was more decorative since it didn't add any flavor... Onions are great, wish there were more as well. Rice is charged per person, so they just gave us a bowl - presumably you can refill? We also tried the honey walnut prawns, which were okay. Not a ton of shrimp but reasonably priced. Leaned more on the tangy mayo side than sweet, would probably try something different next time instead to accompany the wings.

We originally went for the viral Ilicano Empanadas, those did not disappoint either. They are made to order so you gotta pack your patience, allow about 20 mins from order, it's totally worth it. $7.95 each with a minimum of two per order so bring a friend to share. I cannot say I can finish two and I'm a big eater too. The spiced vinegar served with them cuts the richness of the deep fried goodness. ProTip...make sure you get the bits of picked onions and peppers in the vinegar to add a nice bite to the already delicious empanada. It's a mom and pop shop so don't expect five star decor but it does have a homey touch. It is ALL ABOUT THE FOOD...you can't eat the chairs and tables

This review is for their empanadas only!…read more I've tried several empanadas in the Bay Area, from a gas station in Daly City to private sellers I've found on social media! Out of all of them, this empanada was probably my least favorite one. My mother & father in law are from the Philippines and they agreed. These are really stuffed with meat but they were really dry. The egg was also fully cooked, I prefer a soft runny yolk. The ratio was probably 50% meat, 30% mung bean, and 20% papaya. It was just sooo dry, you definitely needed to drench that in vinegar to get through it. The outer shell was really crispy though! + points for being able to order & pick up same day! A lot of places you need to order in advance.

Came here cause my son likes palabok and decided to come to this location to see if it's just as…read moregood as the Suisun city location. The place is much smaller. So not as many grocery items. The veggies looked fresh. The line for food isn't too long of a wait. I watched as they packed the food to see if they pack as much as the other location. The lady who assisted me packed generously to the people she helped ahead of me. So of course I'm here thinking they do pack as much as the other location. But when it came to me, it wasn't even close. The palabok was packed where the container actually closed with ease. Same with the Kare Kare and Laing. The bihon pancit barely overflowing. If you check out the other photos of other reviewers, you'll know what I mean. And that's how the people ahead of me had their orders packed. I guess that server just picks and chooses who she wants to overpack for. I find that unfair. She looked the youngest out of the four ladies working. I spent practically $60 for what I got. Guess I'm better off going to Suisun city since I've never had been shaded on. The only good customer service I experienced was the sweet lady at the register who rung me up. She was pleasant and convinced to grab dessert. She's pretty much the reason I'm giving at least three stars for this review. The food was good, but probably would taste better if my experience was more positive. Only thing was the noodles in the palabok was a little overcooked. Good thing I got dessert cause the maja was exactly what I was expecting and enjoyed every bite. Other than that, I don't think I'll be wasting my time heading out to this location anytime soon. Took almost an hour to get here to begin with and had that experience as a first impression. I'd rather drive another ten miles to Suisun city.

I like to order lumpia Shanghai from there. You can call and it will be ready in 10-15 Mins or they'll make it fresh on the spot. They've changed ownership over the years but originally it was kampangpangan style Filipino food and it may have changed over the years. They're pretty solid with their rice plates, pork Sisig, beef steak, menudo and all of their Filipino dishes. It's definitely bang for your buck and probably more fresh earlier in the day. Service is great and parking is easy. Just make sure to not leave anything valuable in your car and watch out for yours bags while you're out here if you're from out of town.

They are nestled behind a different building so in order to get to their parking lot, you have to make a left on Maple Ave or Right from Springs Rd (whichever side you're coming from) If you're coming from Hwy 80, you exit Springs then make a left into Maple Ave then a quick left into Andreas parking lot. Anyway, the worker was very friendly and immediately helped me. I wanted to try some dishes while I was there. The food was good and they give you a large portion. I tried the pork adobo and rice. When I ordered for catering: I ordered the pork adobo, mechado, broccoli beef, 200 pcs lumpia, sweet and sour fish, pakbet (pinakbet), rice, pork spare ribs, and more. It was so much food. For delivery to Walnut Creek, I paid $105 in cash. Will definitely order for catering here again. This was the 2nd time catering with Andreas.

There is a cup/water station by the register. We ordered combo plates: rice or pancit (they'll do half and half too) + 2 entrees.

Bistek was just ok, the meat wasn't great quality and it was salty Pinakbet was good Mungo was good Adobo was ok, the bay leaf flavor was strong Chicken bbq skewer was good Sinigang with pampano was good, very sour Pusit was good We had lots of left overs!

We both said we want to try again and even go in person we ordered for delivery and everything was packaged so well. The menu is a little confusing, I thought I was getting 4 chicken skewers and only received 1 for the price I paid that was not worth it. No spills and packed to the brim!

Great job and keep up the good work. Price - $30 + generous tip. Cash discount available. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2020. What a great find!
