Oriental Food Market has been here for decades. Haven't been here for many years. Ownership change…read morehappened in between. Unsure what shop looked back then. Now it's only display shelves. Not much decor. Prepped food ready to grab n go. Greeted courteously upon arrival. Told owners I would browse before deciding what to buy. Browsing casually, Noticed prepped food in trays at front left. Rest of store are the usual Filipino groceries. Didn't see any veggies, meat or seafood. Wasn't looking for it. Just a glance at the aisles. While browsing, I decided not to buy anything to cook since I dislike cooking and cleaning up. Also not to buy prepped food either. Wasn't going to eat it right away. Noticed Filipino desserts near cashier station. Picked lst 2 I saw. Didn't browse all options. I could slowly eat them over many days. Bites: Biko (rice cake) 7.99 -made from sweet rice, coconut milk, brown sugar. Chewy, sweet addictive taste. Suman (rice cake) 5 pieces-9.99 -sweet rice mixed with coconut milk, sugar. Salt. Wrapped in banana leaves, steamed. -slightly sweet. Chewy. Good for snacking. Looks like a mini Chinese tamale. Sweet rice is native to China & Southeast Asia. Filipino rice cakes have similarities to Japanese mochi, Thai mango sticky rice (khao niao mamuang). All use sweet rice, other ingredients differ.

We were craving halo-halo one day and came here before doing some grocery…read more There was a line when we arrived. A few people ahead of us and after us. Workers didn't seem personable or engaging. Not much interaction. Gave our order and waited quite a while for just one halo-halo. It was a pretty good size portion and pretty to look at. Much better presentation than the other places in the same plaza. Worth the price with all the ingredients and toppings they put. The halo-halo was good. The only thing I don't care for was piece of leche flan. Tasted bland. At least satisfied the craving.

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. If you're looking for Filipino food catering, I highly recommend going with Lutong Bahay!

I ordered pancit palabok (not very good) it lacked color and taste and mostly noodles. Not worth what I paid for. I won't order it again. We also ordered a kawali silog and bistek silog. You can't go wrong with silogs. They are always good! I will probably go back and order online, I don't recommend walk in order, it takes awhile. I will try other items on their menu. The prices are decent.

Her expression on her face say it all. She did not enjoy the food. Dinuguan is too much vinegar and odd taste in her mouth. The rice was also disappointing. The rice was raw and not cooked. She went back and explain what wrong with the rice. I wish she ask for a refund. We end up bringing the Dinuguan home and tossing the rice in the garbage. I know for sure the same thing will happen to Dinuguan. There no tastes or food control at this establishment. I grew up eating at Goldilocks now it a disappointing place. We also try Milpitas and also disappointing. Thank God I went with Jollibee.

We've tried many Thai restaurants locally, and this one truly stands out. The portions are generous, which is rare since many Thai restaurants tend to serve smaller portions. I ordered Prawn Sarong (shrimp w/ bacon) and Pad Woosen (glass noodles w/ chicken, mushroom++). There's also a great variety of dishes on the menu, so there's something for everyone. The restaurant itself is very clean, and the customer service is fantastic. Ko, the owner, was especially kind and a pleasure to talk with, which made the experience even better. Please support this wonderful local business. It's rare these days to find a restaurant that delivers both excellent food and great value, and this place absolutely does. For Filipinos out there, they serve Crispy Pata for $18. Give it a try!

It was beef, chicken and pork. My dasher had multiple stops so by the time it got to me it wasn't as warm as I would like. Also there were no utensils. The beef and chicken were very good. The pork was not, which is a pity because pork is usually my favorite. It was tough and not enjoyable. Would try something else from this establishment.

I'm glad it did because she said there were a lot of people waiting outside at the PH location. By the time we made it to WC, our tables were ready. There were no long wait times for anyone who came after us, maybe 5 minutes. Crowds started thinning out around noon. This was the 1st time any of us dined at The Hangout and it did not disappoint. The staff was very inviting and friendly. The person who took care of us was very helpful with explaining menu items and making suggestions. We were a large party so they had to split our tables but we were right to each other. There is a spacious dining area as well as outdoor seating. Standout dishes: Chicken & waffle - BIG portion. The chicken was crispy and flavorful. It was so good, the entire plate was wiped clean. Crispy chicken with garlic noodles - delicious combination. The garlic noodles were made with real garlic, not just powder. They need to offer this as a side dish. Chicken pops - chopped up, sample size version of the chicken and waffles. Perfect for sharing. We will definitely come back to this location if we're in the area.

It was a nice day. Their menu has extensive options. Menu option reminds me of Hawaii but with an international twist. Ordered Ube pancakes, Chicken Katsu curry over rice, breakfast scrambled and grilled cheese with fries. Ube pancakes were really delicious and it was not too sweet until you drizzled the ube syrup. Curry chicken katsu was loaded with fried chicken topped with an egg with potatoes. Wished they had more curry sauce but overall it was delicious. Portion was large. This is a shareable dish. Breakfast was okay imo. Nothing special. It came with muffins and roasted potatoes. Grilled cheese with fries were on kids menu option. This is not something for one kid to eat. Large portions. Pricy but it is large portions so it is worth it. Our server was very attentive. He checked on us often which I like. Will definitely come back to try other items.

Pancit palabok is where its at here at Filipino turo-turo…read more We heard from a friend that the pancit palabok here at Filipino turo-turo is delicious for your next Filipino gathering. We went ahead and ordered half a tray for our Christmas party at my father-in-law's house. Filipino turo-turo legitimately feels like a filipino general store: a bunch of food, snacks, and other trinkets on their aisles. A turo-turo section with your typical filipino dishes. The palabok sure is delicious! It has the right amount of savor and everything on it works. It feels like a home made dish that everyone enjoyed. We really enjoyed it so much that we already had it pre-ordered for the coming New Year celebration in our home. Oh, and we also ordered their turon as well. Did I mention also that it is just as good as their palabok?
