Glad to have found Espi's at the Pagdiriwang Phillipine Festival. Espi's is a food stand that…read moreserves up Filipino favorites, with combos - all less than nine bucks! I got the combo with chicken adobo, lumpia and pancit, and added a side of a BBQ chicken skewer. The combo itself was eight bucks and the skewer was an additional three bucks, which was a bargain! And the food was yummy, too! Although there wasn't a lot of the egg noodles, the pancit was a combination of bihon and canton styles! Usually, I always see bihon pancit served at Filipino joints, but my favorite has always been the canton since I was a kid (and still remember eating it every year on my birthday for good luck!), so really liked that they did a mix of the noodles. The chicken adobo was solid, as it was tender, but wish it just had a tad more vinegar and soy sauce flavor that you just love with adobo. Lumpia was A-O-K, as it was slightly overfried. But the BBQ chicken skewer was by far, my favorite item. It had crispy edges from the grill, yet was so juicy and tender. It's what you hope BBQ chicken will be, and enjoyed the somewhat-sweet marinade. You can even watch the cooks grilling and flipping over the several skewers right by the stand, tempting all those passing by with the aroma. Get some! There was a long line during the festival, but it went by very fast. Staff was super friendly and even though when I got to the line I was still undecided about which combo I was gonna order, they were patient with me despite the long line forming. Just remember to bring cash here, as they didn't accept cards.

She charged me an extra $5 for the combo and lied that they don't offer sandwich only as an option anymore.

We first visited over a year ago. They were having a viral moment & so of course we were…read moreinfluenced. That first visit was decent. The food was made hot & fresh. The samoon bread was insanely fresh. They were popping out batch after batch. That bread was soft, delicious & every ounce of comfort you could expect from fresh baked bread. I went a couple weeks ago and tried to order a shawarma but I must have came to early bc they were not ready. So today I decided to try again. I ordered the combo and the digital menu shows the combo as $14.99 but it rang up at $15.99. Not a big deal but the digital board should be updated. If you order online, the price does show for $15.99. The cashier was okay. Not as friendly with me as she was with others. It was like I was bothering her by ordering food. The gentleman who was in the back cooking my food was pretty friendly though. Honestly, based on the experience with the cashier it would be pretty easy to not rush back. But the shawarma was just good as I remembered. The chicken was juicy and extremely flavorful. Now that I work closer to this location, it will definitely be in rotation for me. The samoon was calling my name on this visit but I will definitely have to wait until next time and get it with some hummus. You can order the shawarma on the samoon also.

The fish here tastes and smells like the high quality, flavorful, well-made stuff it is. The fish looks beautiful too. They let us try the regular smoked salmon, the garlic, and the candied. All superb. Be warned the candied stuff - heck, all of them are addicting. The cost may seem high, but it is completely justified. You aren't getting bottom of the barrel keta (translated from native tongue to "dog") fish or "pink" salmon (only 1 tier up), you're getting fresh fish. There was no hint of gross "fishy" smell before or after eating. (To make your salmon last longer, may I suggest enjoying your salmon with rice and veggies, or in a sandwich?) They also sell high quality pork, beef, chicken, and other things in the freezer like sausage, duck, cheese. They also have pretty nicely priced wines for sale, from low $10s and up. Whites, reds, and bubblies. Highly recommend you make the side-tour to this joint for salmon. A fish dressed to impress that will win you praises.
