    Calamari drink with mango 5 out of 5, but the sandwiches...well it's expensive and 3 stars average. Not our favorite. Homemade lumpia, 4 out of 5 stars. Good, but would like more meat and spices for flavor. So their sandwich was very fatty, and yes its had pork belly, but it was just like fatty meat and sauce. The egg was very underwhelming and the whole thing was very average. Like it tasted like any other breakfast sandwich.

    Izzy & Wooks is a Filipino inspired food stall inside Saluhall SF which connects to IKEA. They serve up sandwiches, rice bowls, desserts and drinks! I ordered the Inay's BBQ chicken bowl with half rice & half salad. The chicken pieces were tender and grilled to perfection. Love the ample amount of greens on the side. It is not spicy. If you're looking for spicy you can try their chicken sisig bowl. You order on the self serve iPad. The food was a bit of a wait, around 15 mins but they make everything fresh. Good place to drop in for lunch. Saluhall lost a lot of businesses so good to support what's left.

    I checked out Izzy & Wooks on level 2 at Saluhall (Market Street between 5th and 6th Streets) while staying nearby. When I visited, I think they had opened fairly recently. I went with the Manong sandwich, which was a crispy Mochiko filet (Hawaiian style sweet rice flour-battered chicken) topped with their BBQ glazed pork belly, Izzy sauce, banana ketchup, grilled onions, sweet pickled bitter melon, pickled chili, and elote slaw. They weren't that busy but it took about 20 minutes for my order to be ready, which I took as a good sign they were making it fresh to order. With all the ingredients, it was a smorgasbord of flavors. The chicken had crispy breading but was perfectly moist inside. There are so many other sandwiches I'd try off their menu. Inside of Saluhall there is plenty of seating, allowing you to avoid the elements. I hope Izzy & Wooks continues to grow and flourish in this location.

    Tamarind Hot Chicken and a calamansi mango cooler

    Izzy & Wooks just opened at Saluhall this week! I've been wanting to try them for a while.. since they were at the Metreon actually. And I got the opportunity this weekend. I got the tamarind hot mochiko chicken sando, and it was delicious! The chicken was incredibly juicy, and the breading was the perfect thickness and crispiness. I enjoyed the elote slaw, that also added a nice crunch. As far as flavor, it had pleasant tangy and citrusy notes from the tamarind oil, balanced by the acidity from the pickles. And the soft brioche bun tied it all together. The heat was mild as described on their menu. But I think I'm going to go for the scorpion next time. But if you can't tolerate heat at all, they do have their regular mochiko sando. I also got the mango calamansi cooler, and it was really refreshing and not too sweet. Service was friendly and I got my order quickly. I went here on a Saturday, so it was pretty quiet. There were a few groups of people meeting up either for work or to play RPGs. Izzy & Wooks is also at the Ferry Building Farmers Market. But check them out at Saluhall if you have the chance.

    Calamansi mango

    Grand reopening was yesterday and I missed it because I was so tired. So today I'm in to try it! Got the bbq chicken bowl mango Calamansi drink and it was what I needed to replenish my energy. I got it with all rice vs the rice salad mix. It had some red cabbage and beets, also a little cauliflower. Beets is something I never had with my Filipino dishes and I liked it. Innovative. The mango calamansi was super refreshing I might get another cup. I liked the tender chicken. Warm, freshly cooked, you can tell it was just made! Seems like staff are still being trained yet they are really friendly and doing great! Currently no line as it's slow at 4pm, but I bet it was busy here yesterday with the live dj. I see myself coming here again as I really like the chill vibe here people on their laptops locked in their projects etc. I'll most likely get this bowl again or when they come out with the jackfruit bbq bowl. I believe I tried this spot in the past when it was downstairs. Happy to be back!

    Tamarind Hot Chicken, lumpia, calamansi mango drink

    They contain three essential ingredients to my heart: mochiko batter fried skin, chicken thighs (I think), and ancestral hospitality of the Philippines This ROCKED. My favorite type of fried chicken breading is that cornstarchy shell like Long John Silvers, but they achieve it with mochiko which is way better. My spicy profile myer Briggs identifies siracha/tobasco/tapatio similar to ketchup (not super spicy) and the tamarind chicken sandwich was similar heat. I am looking forward to the spicier one next go My buddy got the Manong chicken sando that I don't see on Google or DoorDash, but it had chicken and pork belly and holy s**t that sounds great. I tried alluding to him that I wanted a bite and he alluded back hard that he did not want to share

    A few days now on yelp, Izzy & Wooks had earned its kiosk spot that replaced the vegan Mexican cafe neighbor inside Saluhall. It's fine to have Filipino burgers let alone lumpias. Before this food company moved from Westfield, Izzy & Wooks still going strong. Their lumpias were just as good as the ones from Sarap Shop! The entirety of Westfield of Market St, including its concourse food court, was completely wiped off clean due to financial crisis. And it's also scary to see some other businesses closing down due to their lack of customers. So other than Izzy & Wooks during the grand ceremonial opening, there's also Smish Smash, Cheezy Pizza, and Curry Up Now. Let's not forget IKEA next door that always provides their national dish such as the Swedish Meatballs! The bottom line is that we must support small local businesses to keep them running with still enough customers after shopping hours.

    Great sandwich! Bigger than I expected. Nice and crispy chicken topped with pork belly. Food came out relatively quick with no service issues. Nice, quiet food hall to take a break next to IKEA Definitely recommend

    Terry R.

    Sandwich has delicious ingredients that are sadly minimal in portion and drowned out by the bread. We visited their pop up at the Ferry Building Farmers Market on a Saturday and ordered their Ultimate Bacon and Egg. Sandwich was large enough to split between two and well priced. The bacon was especially delicious but the sandwich did not look anything close to the massive sandwich advertised on their menu. I ended up removing one of the buns to try to make the most of the ingredients. Sandwich could easily be 5 stars if they bulked up on the star ingredients.

    Longasmash Burger Tamarind Hot Chicken House-Made Lumpia (8pcs) Fries

    Food was just what I needed for this SF trip, crispy chicken and solid fries. Was wandering around union square and remembered there was a food hall nearby, stumbled in only to find Izzy & Wooks on the top floor. Love the chicken sandos, couldn't get enough of them. The longasmash burger could be a bit better however since mine was a little over-charred, but overall loved the vibe this place gave off and will come again next time I'm in SF (much love from DC filipinos)

    Menu

    Honestly 15/10, the food here is amazing & so fresh! The chicken is crisp and definitely not dry. The lumpia was delicious, the sauces are excellent. I totally recommend the Crispy Mochiko sandwich and the Tamarind hot sandwich. Amazing, chef's kiss

    My family and I tried out this place which was tucked away inside IKEA's SALUHALL. At first glance on their menu everything sounds nice and looked reasonably priced, but I have to say some stuff were not worth it. Like their french fries when they arrived for instance $4 for a singular tiny small plate (sadly not pictured, as I was a tad bit disappointed) it wasn't like it was fancy or topped with anything it was just plain regular french fries and it was way too crispy like overly fried and tooth chipping. My husband and daughter got the Crispy Mochiko Chicken which tasted good again french fries serving super small like feeding a small child portion. Chicken sandwich was eh good. I had the Inay's BBQ Chicken Bowl it came with some green sauce that wasn't flavorful for me. The bowl I think presentation wise was aesthetically pleasing to look at but and it was fresh ingredients, but flavor wise it was a bit lack luster. Like please don't be afraid to season a bit more just a tad bit not too much. Service was nothing to complain about staff was cool and friendly. Will I eat here again no. Over priced and food was eh ok to me. Nothing wow that would bring me back it is very instagrammable though.

    Ferry farmer's market, 6/28/25
    Mike C.

    This is an unusual business name, somewhat reminding me of Star Wars. My curiosity was piqued when they first appeared at the Saturday Ferry farmer's market (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=48&select=DdCsoRkEgmfFflrBSZ1ImA) in early July but had lunch plans for the ensuing visits. A few weeks later, I made a point to stop and try their food. Walking up a little after 10 am, an auntie took my order after I asked her for recommendations. I ordered a couple items, paid, and left my name and cell # for them to call me when my order was ready. Since I was finishing my shopping, I started on one item about a half hour later, having this as my breakfast. I tried the Izzy Truff smash burger (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=3VPyl15poNsKPu5dBbip8Q), described by this sign (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=48&select=XyRM5Fm__cvenvyxBJwbEQ). When I bit in, a smile grew on my mouth, an obvious sign of approval. The mix of ingredients were perfect as all of the flavors were balanced. I usually like my burgers on the juicy side but this was delicious. Here is a side view of my burger (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=BEfk9xGHthZZ4b0Tw45M_A). Besides that, I got the shiitake & black garlic arroz caldo (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=rUB2-O9Uiz4AiC_Od5ADKQ), described by this sign (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=48&select=7R0b-vfpZHlwRyoOFICFCw). Wanting to try it fresh, I tried a few spoonfuls as I had lunch at home a few hours later. Like the burger, the mix of ingredients made for a tasty hearty porridge, something akin to Chinese jook. The garlic was the dominant flavor as expected. I steamed the remaining portion the next day for lunch, a perfect pairing for me leftover cruller (fried Chinese bread) from that popular jook place in San Bruno from my Thursday lunch. There was shredded chicken for a texture change. I would get this again. The auntie was friendly and very nice in recommending my items. Looking forward to exploring other menu choices. Also learned that I can they have a brick and mortar a few blocks from my office in the Metreon on 4th Street. It's still more convenient for me to patronize the Ferry farmer's market since it's a lock on my weekly schedule.

I ordered the virgin Ube-Colada. It was a beautiful purple color, refreshing, and lighter on the coconut flavor than I expected. The Sisig Fried Rice definitely isn't Chinese-style fried rice, which was fine with me because I wanted to try something different. Unfortunately, I wasn't a big fan of the flavor or the crispy bits of pork. I guess I fail as an honorary Filipino. The pork lumpia spring roll, however, was very good. And then came the standout star of my meal: the Wagyu dumplings. The waiter used a mini blow torch to heat the Wagyu - that certainly got my attention. These were unlike any dumplings I had eaten before. Two large, very thin slices of Wagyu beef were served in a flavorful tomato-based broth with wonderfully soft, pillowy potato dumplings containing a rich, almost creamy center. I would order these again without hesitation. My waitress was very sweet and welcoming, which I especially appreciated since I was dining by myself. I had an early reservation when the restaurant was still fairly quiet, but the tables filled up after I arrived, so I recommend making a reservation. One useful tip for finding the restaurant: look for the entrance down the stairs marked Kimpton. Enter through that door, and the restaurant is on your right. Not everything I tried was for me, but that's part of the fun of trying a cuisine you're less familiar with. I came away with a new favorite--the Wagyu dumplings--and appreciated the warm hospitality.

All that was missing was the hella big wooden spoon and fork. J/k! And, hospitality was on-point from the lone Latina server. She was so sweet. The food? OOF. Mestiza serves Filipino Fusion Cuisine and is very vegan friendly. Beer, wine, and low abv soju-based cocktails available. I've enjoyed the food at their OG location on Bryant so I don't know if it was a very off day and/or they changed the recipes....because the food completely missed the mark. * Steak Fries w/ sinigang spice ($7) One of the two highlights of our meal, the fries were hot and crunchy. The sinigang spice just tasted like regular salt tho...no tang. * Lechon Bites w/ toyomansi glaze, atchara ($14): https://tinyurl.com/4k9j97am Bummed that this didn't look like older pics of actual "lechon" (fried pork belly cubes). It was more like pork jerky - dry and tough with a thickish, salty soy and calamansi glaze. * Bistek Silog Steak w/ garlic rice, jammy egg ($36): https://tinyurl.com/4crrrh7m - Requested medium rare The plating was beautiful and they nailed the steak's medium-rare temp. The star of the dish tho? The garlic rice - perfectly savory, fragrant, and packed with garlicky flavor. The sirloin (I think) was a let down. It seemed like it was sliced with the grain, making it hella chewy. The signature salty-sour flavor was quite mellow. As for the eggs, they were more medium-well than the jammy. * Pancit Canton w/ seasonal veggies (Side-$8) Great plating and huge portion for the price. Unfortunately, the noodles lacked both chew and flavor. As I was packing up the leftovers, I noticed a pool of soy sauce at the bottom of the container. It seemed like the hot noodles + veggies where tossed with the sauce instead of properly stir-frying everything together. * Super Green Laing w/ collards, kale, cabbage, and taro ($7) Again, I appreciate the generous portion for the price but even for Pinoy Fusion, it didn't remind me of laing. It came across more like a miso soup with greens thrown in. The broth was cloudy and started to separate as it sat, and it was missing the rich, creamy coconut flavor that I usually expect from laing. S E R V I C E Warm, welcoming, and attentive. Prompt food service. A M B I A N C E Gorgeous patio seating only. No indoor seating. Going to the game after? Make sure to snag a rezzie on Resy. P A R K I N G Limited street parking (near Oracle Park). There's a garage across the street (The Beacon). Overall, the patio is one of the prettiest outdoor dining spaces in the city, and the service was genuinely warm and welcoming. Unfortunately, the food just didn't live up to the vibes. 2.5 stars rounded up.

    This was my first time eating at Kusina Ni Tess. There aren't a lot of Filipino restaurants in San…read moreFrancisco, so it was a treat to try one of their silog breakfasts. There were plenty of menus posted throughout the restaurant, but I noticed that none of them listed prices. You order at the counter and wait for your receipt number to be called, then pick up your food on a tray and bring it to your table. Water is self-service. I ordered the Pork Adobosilog ($15.50) -- savory pork adobo served with garlic fried rice and a fried egg. The adobosilog was good, and the portion size was just right, although the price felt a little high for a hole-in-the-wall restaurant. The garlic fried rice was disappointing because I couldn't really taste any garlic and it tasted more like plain fried rice. The pork adobo was tender and easy to eat. If I'm in the neighborhood and craving Filipino food, I may revisit the restaurant and try another silog from the menu.

    Spot on Filipino comfort food…read more In all the years I've lived in the City, Kusina Ni Tess was a restaurant I had yet to try until recently. I think I may have evaded it out of homage to my Mom's own cooking, but Kusina provides the perfect opportunity to satisfy a craving for comfort food away from home. It was definitely a pleasant surprise. This restaurant is no-frills; the stars of the show are the fresh and tasty entrees you can see and choose from at the counter. They allow you to choose combination plates or ala carte depending on what you're craving. I had the Dinuguan with garlic rice, while my friend had the Lumpia Shanghai and Palabok noodles. Nothing disappointed--every dish hit the spot. For a moment, I felt like I was at a Filipino party with a few tables for parties of 2 or 4. The staff members were friendly and pleasant while taking my order. Bravo to Tess! I'll definitely be back now that I know where this hidden Sampiguita of a restaurant is, right around the corner from my downtown apartment.

We got a table of eight one hour before closing time. Our server told us last order was at 6:45 since the cook had to leave early for another gig. They used to close later at night years ago. We had our usual chick-boy combo sisig, grilled liempo, tapa and garlic rice. Our friends embellished our spread with ginataang sitaw at calabasa (beans & squash in coconut milk), bam-i pancit, chicharon bulaklak (ruffle fat) and lechon kawali. Vinegar based sawsawan and Mang Tomas made this feast even better. We all had water because we were binge eating that weekend. Another large party satisfied at Chibogs. Can't wait for our next get-together here.

Phone orders are also welcomed too. The restaurant is always packed when I go in to get my food. The dining room is pretty small, but can probably fit 30 or so diners at a time. Our staples are the lumpia shanghai, pancit palabok and bbq chicken silog. Over the years, the prices have really increased but it is a sign of the times wherever you dine these days.

    I have been coming to Superstar ever since I was a little kid and it is always a treat!…read more My go-to order is the Hong Kong Style PorkChop ($8). It comes with 2 large pieces of pork chop, garlic fried rice topped with crispy garlic, one egg (cooked to your preference) and either diced tomatoes or pineapples. I am always left super full from this meal and sometimes I can even split it into 2! It also stays crispy and reheats well in the airfryer. They serve other Filipino foods as well such as tocino, longanisa, baby bangus, etc. Each plate comes with the garlic fried rice, egg and either tomatoes or pineapples. What I absolutely love about this place is the quick service and cheap eats. Their plates used to be cheaper but of course due to inflation, the price is still unmatched in the city. This place is cash only and does not have indoor seating. There is also a similar restaurant located in Daly City by top of the hill called Gateway Kitchen that has almost the same exact menu + prices for their plates. Parking can be difficult in this area but the service is so quick that you can just double park in front. I will continue to visit this place over and over again. I absolutely love coming here :')

After a long day, my partner and I finally decided to stop by for dinner. The prices are incredibly affordable, but keep in mind that it's cash only. We ordered the Hong Kong-style pork chop over garlic fried rice, which came with tomatoes and eggs, and shared it between the two of us. When our food arrived, we were genuinely surprised by the portion size--there were two huge, crispy pork chops, especially impressive considering the meal was only around $8. My partner absolutely loved it and thought it was an amazing value. If you're a fan of crispy, fried comfort food, this is definitely a satisfying meal. For me, though, it was a bit too greasy, and the seasoning tasted heavier than I personally prefer. While the pork chop was flavorful and crispy, the richness started to feel overwhelming after a few bites. Finishing the entire container would definitely put me into a serious food coma. Overall, if you're looking for a filling meal at an unbeatable price, Superstar is hard to beat. Although it wasn't quite my personal favorite because of how rich it was, I can absolutely see why it's a popular spot for cheap, satisfying eats.

I happened to be in Daly City recently and made a stop here to pick up some skewers. Found street parking around the corner. Fil-Am is a take-away restaurant with a menu consisting of BBQ chicken and BBQ pork skewers, panic, shanghai lumpias and turons. I wanted to get BBQ pork skewers and got to the last three that were in the tray. They were also out of the chicken skewers. But the chef was busy cooking as the grill was loaded with pork and chicken skewers. Not wanting to wait, I was happy that I got the three skewers. Many good-sized pieces of juicy pork make up each skewer. Generous portions. I enjoy the Filipino BBQ pork flavor as the sauce on it has a sweet taste to it. At $4.25 a skewer, it is reasonably priced. Will stop by again for these delicious pork skewers again when I'm in the area.

Once we got a spot, while walking up to the restaurant you can smell the BBQ aromas from around the corner so we were getting excited just walking to the restaurant! Ordered Fil-Am special 2 BBQ skewer items with Pancit (noodles). Skewer options are BBQ Chicken or BBQ pork. We got one of each. They also have a ton of other Filipino specialties on the menu but looks like they are for larger party tray orders. Lumpia, Menudo, Adobo, Kare Kare etc. There's also a couple dessert items Turon, Bibingka, Biko, ube, maja blanca and Cassava to name a few. Took dinner home and chowed down. The BBQ pork was fantastic, tender with great BBQ flavor. The chicken was a bit charred and dry (took off one star) but was tasty. BBQ sauce was sweet and savory. The pancit was delish! overall a great cost effective meal and worth trying
