We came here on Sunday as a family, and it was our very first time trying Filipino food. We…read morehonestly didn't know exactly what to expect, but this place completely exceeded our expectations. Everything was absolutely delicious.
I had the Bulalo and the Palabok Noodles, and both were incredible. The Bulalo was so comforting and flavorful, and the beef was incredibly tender. The Palabok was rich, savory, and packed with so much flavor from the pork, shrimp sauce, egg, green onions, and chicharron. My husband had the Crispy Pata, and we were blown away by how crispy and flavorful it was while still being so tender. We also tried the Supreme Fiesta Plate with BBQ chicken, pork skewers, lumpia, and pancit, and there genuinely wasn't a single thing we didn't enjoy.
As amazing as the food was, the hospitality is what really made the experience special for us. The two people working were incredibly welcoming and kind, and the woman working there was especially sweet. She was so wonderful with our boys, Flynn and Chase, and when I mentioned that I was pregnant, she got so genuinely excited for us. It was such a small moment, but it honestly made my heart so happy and made us feel so welcomed.
You can tell there is so much love and care put into this restaurant, not only in the food, but in the way people are treated. For our first experience with Filipino food, we seriously could not have chosen a better place.
We will absolutely be coming back and would 100% recommend Taste of the Philippines to anyone. If you've never tried Filipino food before, please give this place a chance. The food is amazing, the portions are great, and the hospitality makes you feel right at home. We left full, happy, and already excited to come back.
