This is our dependable Filipino takeout restaurant in the neighborhood. Everything is good, and you can even dine in if you prefer. They also have desserts, snacks and baked goods. I say "dependable" because they serve up the typical Filipino favorites, including breakfast combos. You can also order party trays like I have in the past when I needed 150 pcs of lumpiang shanghai quickly. They always have a good selection and really everything tastes good. My usual faves are Bicol Express, any of their Adobos, Menudo, Mongo, Pork Sisig, any of their breakfast combos, Tortang Talong, Lyempo, Kare Kare, and Lechon Kawali. We don't have many options in this neighborhood, so we are fortunate that the one Filipino restaurant we have nearby is actually really good. And they are consistent! Something other Filipino restaurants tend to struggle with is consistency. This is why they are our dependable Filipino restaurant. And I hope they stay forever. Street parking in front and a parking lot in back, and both are free and always available. read more

I give this place 4/5. Hospitality is great 5/5. They really help you and answer your questions about your order. Chicken Inasal was ok 3.5/5. It was missing something and it was not soft. Could be it was older batch. Pork sisig was good 5/5. It was searing and cooked good. Fried tilapia and Eggplant was 5/5. It was cooked and seasoned evenly. That was good. Inside is always clean. Parking is not an issue. Lots of space available. read more

For the new year, I see more garlic rice, turon, pancit and all the assortment of fish stews, veggie stews sitting in trays in this cafeteria style Pilipino restaurant, in my future and in my tummy! I especially love coming here for breakfast! You can see all the food in front of you and you can sample too! After ordering you can eat in the eating area just behind. They give big portions, and the prices still seem reasonable. There is so much to try here! A very chill place! I love it when the TVs are on and they have programming from the Philippines on. I feel transported and is a nice change of pace. read more

I just cried eating these BBQ chicken skewers, this bite sent me back to when I was a child and eating these BBQ skewers with my Lola before she passed away. This bite made me feel like a child again and made me love this restaurant even more! I always get the bistek (beef steak) when I come , but I will now come for the BBQ skewers too. They have a life time customer! read more

I've passed this place so many times while driving on Sherman Way, but for some reason, it looked sketch. But I finally decided to come here because Cebuchon is closed on Mondays. I'm so glad I did because I now have another Filipino restaurant close to me that I can go to. This is cafeteria style food and the prices are pretty decent. I ordered the lechon kawali and pork bbq for my 2 item combo. The wife got the diniguan and some green spinach thing. I also ordered a large pork sinigang, a slice of cassava cake & banana q. Total cost was around $70. My wife mentioned that the sinigang was pretty good and hit the spot. The diniguan and spinach thing was also good according to her. However, my lechon was just ok. I kind of knew it wasn't going to be great as I can see that the color was a little gray and they were pre-cut all sitting under a heat lamp. I think it would have been better if they cut it to order like how Cebuchon does theirs. The liver sauce was not as smooth and a hint of vinegar. Not my favorite as I don't like vinegar. The bbq was not bad and had good sauce on it. I really liked the banana q though. It was the right amount of sweetness and not hard. The cassava cake was too sweet for my liking. There's a huge parking lot in the back after you squeeze through the small driveway. There's also underground parking available if you want to keep your car shaded. It looks like they make their own desserts so everything is fresh. Just make sure you inspect them as I've heard of others with spoiled food probably due to the heat. There are also tables in the back and a TV if you prefer to eat onsite. Overall, a very good option. read more

Got a hankering for lumpia?? Me too!! It is sooooo good! Every time I go in thinking I'll try something else, but I end up with several orders of lumpia instead! And instead of bringing it right home, I sit in my car and have a couple to myself. So yummy!! read more

I took their Crispy Pata home and was definitely worth the $18.I used the Air Fryer for 7 min and worked beautifully.

I ordered 100 pieces of lumpia Shanghai for pickup on a Wednesday around 8:30 am. I arrived a few minutes late but all of the metered parking on the street right out front was available and I was able to park right in front of the entrance. There was also very little traffic on the road. The inside is small. There is no seating, but plenty of food options to choose from. Their desserts are placed on tables in the middle of the small floor and they also sell cold drinks and snacks on the floor as well. When you walk in, the hot food is visible to the right, and it smelled absolutely delicious. I saw my order ready to go on the back counter behind the register and waited just a moment before someone came out to greet me. The lumpia were $45 if paying with cash and ~$50 if paying with card. I tried one right as I got into my car. They were fresh and slightly crisp. The flavor was pretty good, not the best. I give them a 3/5 for flavor but it could have been more heavily seasoned. However the price is very good. I took this dish to my company potluck and many people enjoyed it even when it was colder and not as crispy. It was served with sweet and sour sauce that complimented the lumpia but wasn't necessary. All of the lumpia were gone by the end of the event and votes for best dishes brought included mine as one of the top! Great option for catering. I would like to try their other items another time. It seems they have been around for a very long time and I'm sure it's not just for their lumpia! read more

Their food are delicious , tasty and authentic Filipino food. They have sinigang, squid adobo, bbq, menudo, dinuguan, kare kare, pancit, egg rollsetc etc. They also make their own pastries and empanadas which were both very good. I didn't like their turon though because it's way too oily and tastes of old oil. Parking at the back. They are pricier than the already pricey other Filipino turo turo restaurants but their viands are tastier than most. I would also recommend their catering You can also dine in or just take out. read more

RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL, DISRESPECTFUL, NO MANNERS SERVICE!!! I called on December 22 to place a Noche Buena order. From the very beginning, the person who answered the phone was RUDE and IMPOLITE, even though I greeted them politely. Every time I asked a question, their tone was ANGRY and DISRESPECTFUL. When I was asked what time I could pick up the order, I said, "What time are you open tomorrow, until what time?" They angrily replied, "What time? Give me a time!" I apologized and said, "3 PM, okay?" While taking my order, they continued being RUDE and SHOUTING. Later, my mother suggested upgrading the order size since we had more guests. I called back politely to request the change, but they got ANGRY again, saying, "Oh, come on, I already entered it! Okay, add $10 per tray," then abruptly hung up. Because they were RUDE and DISRESPECTFUL, my mom told me to cancel the order. I asked my friend to call on my behalf, and the owner got ANGRY, saying, "This is ridiculous," before hanging up. When my friend called again asking for a manager, the owner suddenly became calm but still replied RUDLY, "You're not the one I was talking to earlier." She then added, "I am the owner of the restaurant. Merry Christmas," and hung up abruptly. It was clear from the start that there was NO RESPECT, PROFESSIONALISM in their service. The experience was frustrating and stressful, especially during the holiday season. I had no choice but to cancel the order because of their RUDE, DISRESPECTFUL, and NO MANNERS behavior. read more

Between 2014 and 2018, I have come to Nipa Hut a few times and tried many items on the menu. My favorites were the Chicken adobo, Sinigang, and Pancit palabok. I also used to enjoy their Halo-halo dessert with leche flan and ube ice cream on top as well as the refreshing cantaloupe juice in the summer. The service was always friendly and attentive. There was plenty of seating space in the back after you have ordered and the newly remodeled space was enjoyable. Easy parking in the back or on the street. However, I suspect that a change in the kitchen took place as my favorite dishes no longer looked/tasted the same. In addition, I have noticed that the puto dessert (steamed rice cake) I once bought had gone bad while on the shelf. Maybe the hot temperatures in that area did not help keep the desserts (many of them made of rice/milk) fresh, but I believe it is essential to keep an even closer eye in that case to prevent spoiling and hope this was a one time instance. read more

I used to live around the area and I usually come here 2 - 3x a week. I usually get there combo. They're generous with their servings and so far the food I have tried are Tasty and flavorful. Parking is located in the back. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. If you want me to be honest our expectations were pretty low to start, but even then I am appalled at how horrible and a hazard to our health our two experiences have been . The first time coming here the fried rice we had received for our order to go had a rotten foul smell upon opening the container, it was without a doubt cooked with steamed rice that was was beyond bad. We only received an apology and decided to not comeback again. My father who gives everyone the benefit of the doubt, decided to give them another try today. He ordered two orders of Longganisa sausage and upon arriving home we had discovered that the sausages were as hard as rocks! That's not an exaggeration, our silverware could not even break into it. This could have very easily caused a bowel obstruction if we tried to consume it. We called them and told them about our food, while the woman over the phone tried to play it off that we were exaggerating at first, she told us to come there in 30 minutes so they could cook us fresh ones. My father drove back, a 20 minute drive one way mind you, and the sausages they had given us this time were boiled instead of pan fried and weren't even cooked all the way. We know they were boiled because with the amount of hot water in the container, the average person would assume it was a couple hot dogs in soup, that's not even taking into consideration the off color. We had to literally cook the replacement sausages to have it actually be edible. My father also asked for something small as a token of compensation, they asked him to pick something out, everything he picked though they told him they could not give him. They ended up reluctantly giving him a piece of Filipino desert. Why would you even bother telling him to pick something out if almost everything you have could not be given as compensation? The icing on the cake was at home we discovered the desert was rotten as well. I understand that times are very difficult for everybody at the moment, however the "food" this place is serving to people is a health hazard and can seriously send somebody to the emergency room or worse. It doesn't matter what kind of financial struggles you are going through as a business, there are no excuses for putting people's health on the line especially when charging money. I plan to follow up with the city to investigate the health practices performed here, because I'm genuinely afraid of what's going on in that kitchen. Did I mention the price as well? For just the sausages and rice my father paid around $20. So in summary, please do not come here, this place should be investigated by the health department and shut down permanently. read more

The best food I've had in a while, so fresh! The service is amazing! Definitely will be a repeat customer.

Stumbled upon this place on a delivery app. We love Filipino food and was excited to see a new spot we haven't tried before. We went for dishes that we are familiar with: - pancit - lumpia - lechon kawali - chicken adobo (sold out and switched to pork adobo) Very happy with our order. First of all the pancit was different from what we have tried before. They have 2 kinds of noodles in there and it wasn't as sour as how some places do it. And for $8.50, it was a lot of noodles! Lumpia was great, pretty standard but loved it. The lechon was really good! Not too salty and not too overly fried. Also the pork belly was not too fat. The pork adobo was great, a little salty but goes so well with rice. Will definitely order from them again! read more

If you have a hankering for a home cooked Pinoy meal, this place is pretty spot on and authentic. Food is great, fresh and satisfying. You can have them cater or just pick and choose from a lot of dishes they have prepared. Careful though, food is not for the faint of heart (literally!!) You can always work it out. read more

Food was cold and flavorless and to top it off the cashier slammed the receipt and slid it to me even after I left a tip. My Filipino co workers even complained about the food being flavorless and that says a lot. read more

Good food with an always changing variety of food. Can be a little expensive at times. Restaurant is okay. Could be better for the price.

If you want good chicken adobo, you have to go to the smaller shops where they make the authentic stuff. No matter how I try, I can never get my adobo to look and taste as good as this. read more

As a Filipino, I try to support local businesses. This one is the closest to my work, so when I have a hankering for Filipino food, they are the luck recipients of my patronage. PROS: - They have a good selection of breakfast / lunch foods and dessert. I especially like coming for breakfast. - The employees are for the most part nice and you can tell they work hard. CONS: - The food quality is hit and miss. Especially the eggs during breakfast. They also run out of stuff, like garlic fried rice. - Last time I went there, I got the breakfast combo. As did the lady before me. It's supposed to come with coffee. They offered it to the lady. Not to me. What's the deal with that? I didn't press the issue as it was hot and I didn't want coffee anyhow but to not be given it or even offered it was a bit rude. - Last time I went, I tried to use the Yelp Check In Offer for a free hopia and the lady had NO clue what I was talking about, even after I showed her the app on my phone. She eventually relented but more so because she seemed to be too annoyed to fight me on it. read more

I've been ordering from nipa hut ever since COVID and one issue I mainly struggle with them is that they would give me a regular adobo plate instead of their adobosilog. I would totally understand if they ran out of it but I would appreciate it if they would at least let me know in advance that they don't have it. Their food is good but I just want to get the food I payed my money for. read more

We go here for all our Filipino parties! They have a huge selection and the food is always fresh.

Heard this was close to what homemade filipino food is like. Nothing like what I have had at friend's homes. I know restaurants can't be like homemade food with the love that goes into at homes but didnt expect it to be this bad. Had the pork belly dish (apparently the most popular) and it was bland and very uninteresting and the amount of fat made me feel sick after a few bites. The pancit literally had two pieces of sugar cubed sized meats in it. Not kidding TWO. They shoved it all in what I call a little seven 11 hot dog box. Why they wouldn't just use a bigger box is beyond me. Someone point me to an actual filipino place that doesn't disappoint like this. Please.... Ps i had this togo. read more

My wife introduced me to this place because she is Filipino and at first I was really loving the food it was pretty fresh and they where always nice and not stingy with their food but recently they have been messing up our Uber eats orders they where out of stock of a item and didn't even bother to call they just gave us what ever and the last couple of times I've been to their store the food has been looking old or reheated not the same from when I first tried their food recently I've ordered breakfast from them and have gotten bad stomach problems but today I went and bought some ube desserts with a combo and I am seriously concerned why is the ube moldy if they are not checking their desserts are they checking their chicken and pork expiration dates?
