    It is quite of a drive for me, but I really enjoyed it! This place is cute and a favorite place of a close friend so I knew it would be good! The chicken was very tasty and the beef ribs were good! I'd say the drive was worth it!

    Really unique Hawaiian Filipino fusion, you can tell they put a lot of care into the food. The beef inihaw plate is absolutely the best thing on the menu, super flavorful and tender; I would order this same dish every visit! The macaroni salad had a bit more mayonnaise than I would prefer and after a few bites it gets too 'rich'. The crispy pusit has been "out of stock" for over a month. To avoid confusion, it may be best to remove or cover this from their menu temporarily.. The overall experience was very good and I would definitely go back again to sample more of their menu.

    Mango Refresher and Sea Salt Caramel Coffee

    Wow! I've lived in the area for 5 years and this was my first time trying it -- I'm so glad I did. We went for lunch on a Sunday and it was busy. There are about 14 tables inside, and it's an order-at-the-counter type of place where they bring the food to your table. When we ordered there weren't any tables open except a small two-person counter table in the corner. It felt a little cramped, but we made it work. The food came out in about 10 minutes, and when it hit the table we were surprised by the massive portions. We definitely took a lot home. The meat in every dish was super tender and fresh. I'd recommend everything we ordered: the 808 plate, garlic noodles, mango refresher, mochi cake, and the sea salt caramel coffee. We'll definitely be back!

    This place have been on my list for a while now and I finally had the chance to try. This is a solid 4 star. There is a parking lot so it shouldn't be a trouble to find parking. You order at the counter and the food will come out when ready. You bus your own table and the utensils and condiments are at a designated table. It was steady when we came so not too busy. Foodwise: 808 mix plate 4.5/5: it was a big plate that can easily feed 2 people. You have the option of adding on ribs if you choose for additional cost. We got half pork ribs and half beef ribs. The beef ribs was a little disappointing, not enough meat, not tender. Pork ribs were good. Fried shrimp and lumpia and spam was good. The rice and Mac salad help balance out the sauce from the meat. Chicken adobo 5/5: this was a really good dish for a good price. You get 3 pieces of huge thigh + rice, Mac salad and salad. Flavorful and tender. Pandan crusher halo halo 5/5: yummy. What you would expect and it would be perfect for a hot day. Halaya enseamada 2.5/5: I was pretty Disappointed with this one since the name of the restaurant was of this bread. The bread though was very very dry. The flavor was good but the dryness was very overpowering Overall, a solid place and I'm glad they opened a second location closer to me. I definitely would be back when I'm craving a good home cook meal

    We visited Enseamada Cafe again recently for a weekday dinner to try some more of their specialties. It wasn't too busy when we arrived at 6PM. The entire restaurant smelled of sugar and dough as they had just baked a fresh batch of malasadas! Of course had to buy one as well, along with the massive amount of food... Ube Pancakes w/ Macadamia ($13.50) - Two thick and fluffy pancakes sit in essentially a vat of ube cream. The pancakes are excellent - soft and fluffy with a bit of a bounce to them. My wife commented that she thought they might have added rice flour to contribute to the almost mochi-like texture. The pancakes are a deep purple color but only have the slightest ube flavor. The real meat of the ube comes in the cream sauce. They give a ton, enough to almost completely cover the pancakes in the bowl. It's thick and creamy and full of earthy ube flavor. While the pancakes soak in the cream they don't become soggy at all. We opted to pay $1.50 extra for the macadamia nuts. They are crushed and slightly salted contributing more flavor and crunch. In the future I would never order the pancakes without the nuts. The pancakes really are excellent. I liked them way more than the more famous Ludi's downtown. (5/5) Garlic Noodles w/ Lechon ($20) - I thought this would be similar to the garlic noodles found most famously in SF but these are completely different. They don't have much garlic flavor at all; instead the dish tastes kind of like generic Chinese lo mein complete with a slightly sweet soy sauce enveloping the noodles. For an extra $10 I added the Lechon which they are pretty generous with. Tons of crunchy meat bits strewn all around the top, fatty and delicious. (4/5) Adobo Bowl ($14.95) - This is a well arranged plate with two small scoops of rice, almost vestigial given the amount of meat, a base of mac salad topped with greens, and two entire tender chicken thighs marinated in adobo seasoning. The macaroni still has a bit of a bite so it's not too overcooked and is mixed in a really creamy and somewhat watery sauce with plenty of veggies mixed! The thighs are tender, slightly sweet, tangy and savory in flavor. I'm not 100% certain that the thighs are actually stewed/simmered because there's not any liquid base included and the exterior of the chicken is dry. It's not the best adobo I've eaten, but they are pretty generous with the portion size. (4/5) Surprisingly, my favorite thing in the restaurant is their green sauce found at the condiment counter. It's so fresh tasting, very cilantro forward with plenty of fish sauce umami. I was told they make it fresh every morning and was encouraged to take more since it was near the end of the day and they would have to throw it out! Enseamada Cafe is very generous with portion size, especially in terms of protein. We ended up finishing maybe only 1/3 of the food we ordered, took the rest home and ate with more veggies and rice over the next couple of days. It's definitely worth the money, although I question how nutritionally balanced the dishes are! Bathrooms: Single unisex room

    Hurricane Chicken
    Steve C.

    First visit, this place is located in a strip mall area. I was planning on eating inside for lunch, but it was so freezing cold inside that I ended up getting the order to go. Unfortunately, their selection of drinks were virtually all high sugared options, they didn't even sell bottled water (yet they had a little container with courtesy water for guest dining in). I ordered the Hurricane Chicken and it was excellent, and the drizzle of spicy mayo made it the bomb! Side of rice was cooked perfectly and had a lot of flavor; the Mac salad was creamy and very tasty.

    Ube pancakes

    Enseamada Cafe is an absolute gem in Everett! From the moment we walked in, the service was incredibly fast and so genuinely friendly--the staff greeted us with warm smiles, took our order quickly, and everything came out piping hot in no time. It felt like they really cared about making our visit special. The food? Mind-blowingly amazing. The ube pancakes are pure decadence--fluffy, perfectly infused with that vibrant ube flavor, topped with a luscious ube cream sauce that's rich without being overly sweet. It's the ideal balance of indulgent and just-right, and I could eat them every day! We also got the sisig, and wow--the portions of pork belly are seriously generous. Tender, crispy-edged pieces loaded with that signature tangy, savory goodness. It was hearty and flavorful, easily enough to share. And the fried chicken? The sauces that come with it elevate it to another level--perfectly crispy chicken paired with dipping sauces that add just the right kick and depth. Every bite was packed with island-inspired flavor. This spot nails it on taste, portion size, and hospitality. If you're anywhere near Everett, do yourself a favor and go--it's worth every star! Will be back soon.

    Ube Halo Halo

    Honestly thought I'd left a review ages ago. Enseamada is one of my hidden gems I recommend up north. Casual location, ample parking with a nice plaza, and delicious food plus dessert. Hard to beat simplicity. A bit pricey at first glance but proportional to the quantity. Large portions, ube items, and halo halo are a huge selling point, getting dessert while here is convenient. Pipikaula Ribs - their plates are comforting and filling. Not a fan of the BBQ ribs on the inihaw plate because there's too much sauce (though I know people love sauce), so these ribs are amazing. Salty, savory, and juicy. Meat is tender and majority falls off the bone easily. Mac is tasty, creamy, and not too saucy.

    Crispy Kara Kara
    Tracie E.

    Cute cafe style Filipino/Hawaiian fusion restaurant, seat yourself, bust your own table type of vibe with limited staff interaction. One thing I loved to see when I walked in was multiple Filipino families sitting around the table, very good sign that the food was good. I ordered the Kara Kara, very generous portion and the peanut sauce paired so well with the crispy Kara Kara and veggies. My cousin ordered the 808 and loved the ribs, we both had leftovers to take home. Seen some reviews about their ube so we opted for the mango halo halo which was very good! If you're in the area definitely check them out!

    Sisig bowl
    Ade W.

    Super delicious Filipino/Hawaiian restaurant with crazy delicious food. The food are a fusion of Filipino favorites like Sisig, Lechon, Kare-kare with island favorites like garlic shrimp, bbq chicken (which taste like huli-huli chicken, served with rice, salad and Mac salad. The Pandan crush halo-halo is also superb and feels different than traditional halo-halo but in a good way. Portions are quite large for the price, so definitely good value for what you pay. Service is quite fast too. Definitely would come back to try the rest of their dishes. For reference, we ordered crispy pork belly bites, sisig bowl, grilled garlic pork belly bowl, 808 plate with bbq chicken & pandan crush halo-halo. Two thumbs up, way up!

    Coconut refresher with shaved coconut slices
    Dacia B.

    The food and the drinks are incredible! The drinks are so creative and decorated, layered with yummy surprises. You can tell they take their time to make sure everything tastes AND looks delicious! I got the mango halo halo drink, a coconut refresher (it's like coconut water but better) and pipikalua rib plate. I also got the mango tres leches but haven't tried it yet. It's so hard to find good tres leches so I'm looking forward to it!! The ribs have fish sauce which gives off a fishy smell but the taste is right on point. The restaurant was packed full, so I took my food to go. They even wrapped our drinks in saran wrap So they wouldn't spill in the car! So so happy I found this place!!

    Sisig Bowl

    Visited Enseamada Cafe with a couple friends for lunch after years of wanting to go and it did not disappoint! First off, the interior is super cute. You seat yourself and order at the front counter. The place is a bit smaller than expected so you may have to wait on a busier day. Food wise, there was not a single thing I didn't enjoy, but I absolutely loved their sweets and I'm usually not a sweet person! The Ube Pancakes and Ube Halo Halo were hits in my book. I also loved how they cooked their lechon. The skin was soo crispy and the meat was still tender. I'm definitely coming back and I hope to try other menu items.

    longanisa plate with adobo rice
    Delora C.

    Stopped in for their brunch to finally try their famous ube pancakes and did not disappoint! I was worried it might be too sweet but it was just the right amount. Pancakes were thicccc and soak up the sauce beautifully, the macadamia nuts are the perfect crunchy topping. My husband got the longanisa plate and subbed for adobo rice.. 10/10 no notes. We rarely indulge in heavy Filipino breakfast that put you in a comatose right after these days but this was sooo worth it. I highly recommend yall come in during brunch on the weekends!

Glad they didn't just put them in a paper bag like some places in Seattle. Would have loved to have added more to the empty spaces. Got a bag of samoon bread too. The croissant's exterior was flaky and light with good aroma of butter, but not greasy to touch. The coconut pastry cream was well balanced, not too sweet, with distinctive coconut flavor providing a delicious and satisfying bite. Its only flaw was the runny consistency. This was a well made croissant with a slight tang to the pastry dough. ($8) 4.5/5 Baklava with pistachio ($2.50) was buttery, flaky, not too sweet, but needed more filling and moisture. It was kinda dry. 3.5/5 Samoon bread ($4) came 4 large sized pitas . 1 pita cut in half, easily made 2 stuffed sandwiches. This type of bread had neutral flavor with slight chewiness. It did not dry out even after 2 days at room temperature. It's great with dips, eaten with stews, or toasted and buttered. 4/5 If you enjoy exotic breads, desserts, and pastries, pick something up here before going to any of the international eateries in the plaza. Looking forward to being there early next time to try the other croissants and special treats.

We're both omnivores who eat a fair amount of plant-based fare for health reasons (I have allergies and intolerances, she's heeding doctor's advice). To be clear, this is a cafe, not a full blown restaurant. They serve luncheon fare, but it's a small operation so be either patient to don't bother - especially if there's a line. It's counter ordering with payment expected in advance. The tables closest to the window are a *little* harrowing because of the ADA ramp that leads to the door: the closest chairs can teeter down the ramp if the chairs are pushed back too far. Be careful. There are huge, regular, and small tables available. The biggest table is a little tricky to navigate for folks who want to sit in the booth side, but once seated it's quite lovely. I ordered the Pesto Pasta (involving zoodles: zucchini noodles) and a Sun Juice. My friend ordered the Grilled Cheese and Bisque. Please note: it's worth looking around this place while waiting for your food. You can conceivably get your own water, napkins and cutlery if you walk far enough along the counter towards the back of the restaurant. Back there, you may also notice a single-occupancy restroom and bins for bussing your own dishes. The Sun Juice arrived first, freshly blended, and was delicious. If that's what their juice is like, I look forward to exploring their smoothie offerings. My pasta arrived looking BEAUTIFUL on a bed of spinach, and smelled just as good. It tasted a teensy bit more of salt than I would've liked, but then I speared a sun dried tomato with my next bite and remembered that I'm not a food critic, just a happy customer. Although I'm not generally a fan of zoodles, they seemed to have the art of cooking them down pat: they didn't distract from the pesto at all. The bisque had an artful design of (coconut? cashew?) cream on top. My friend was delighted to note that it was a bit of spice to it: nothing challenging, but just enough for her to find comforting. Given the light and airy look of the inside and the rather rustic / flower-child look of the outside, she was not expecting that surprise. She was so impressed with the grilled cheese sandwich that she offered me a bite: we were both quite impressed with the "cheese" they used, as the item was listed as vegan on the menu. My friend kept whining that she's doomed, as they're close to where she lives *and* they deliver. Oh, yeah - poor her, indeed. Alas, alack, and so on.
