Sep B.

A small but great spot for Filipino food. I came here with a large group for an event and they were able to hook us up to the tv so we could play a video; we then had dinner (served buffet style), and then did karaoke. The food was great, and very tasty. The staff were incredibly friendly and were able to make accommodation for someone in our group who cannot eat gluten. The staff also kinda joined us for karaoke (they were singing along with us). 11/10 recommend

Take out Bistek Pinoy & fried shrimp
Brendan T.

This Queens Blvd. Filipino cafe serves consistently tasty and artery-clogging renditions of all the cuisines classics, along with some fusion-ey twists like the crunchy shelled "sissig tacos" appetizer. Standouts include my personal go to order of the dark, vinegar braised Bistek Pinoy, the soft falling apart tender meat sopping up the sauce like a delicious, interspersed with rings lightly fried red onion always accompanied by the houses delicious garlic rice for a slight uncharge, as well as the famed crispy deep fried pork delight known as Bicol express, the shards of well crisped pork belly tossed in a deliciously sweet and spicy sauce of coconut milk, chili and shrimp paste. Of course any Fillpino spot is going to be judged on the quality of it's lumpia, and happily the ones here are greasy crunchy perfection on the outside and unctuous fatty pork (or chicken) goodness within. A deft hand with the deep fryer is consistently indicated across the menu but particularly where the other apps are concerned, as, in addition to the previously mentioned sissig tacos and lumpias, the fired shrimp and calamari are both worth ordering. Room is pleasant with decorations and artwork referencing the archipelago nation, where most of the patrons on any given time will likely hail from, and the staff is professional and efficient. Happily, in keeping with its Queens location and the general culinary culture of the borough, prices have remained reasonable even in our increasingly inflation racked times.

I'm not an expert on Filipino food but I certainly like this place. When we walked in they seated us right away and gave us menus. Inside was small and simple with some artwork decorating the walls. My sister who has been here before ordered for us. We got lumpia, sisig, a shrimp squash dish, fish and garlic rice. Everything was tasty and seasoned perfectly. I recommend this place for good food in general.

This restaurant looks small but they've added another side to have more seating. Service was friendly. We went for lunch on a Sunday so it wasn't rushed. Food was tasty. Not sure if it was authentically flavored but we enjoyed it.

There's nothing quite like homemade Filipino food--it feels as though I'm being served by my Filipino friend's mother. The eggs and beef were cooked to perfection, and the lechon was both crispy and tender. The garlic rice is a must-try. The service was prompt and friendly. I'll definitely be returning, Lahi!

Pork Sinigang
Jessica N.

This restaurant is definitely one I would go back to for a good Filipino family meal. Everything tastes so home cooked and delicious. Seeing local Filipino customers dining in as well, assured me that this is the place to be for an authentic Filipino meal. The food was flavorful. The garlic rice is the must get and I highly recommend. No matter what dish you try, you must get an order of garlic rice. It is so worth the extra $1 for it. The rice porridge with tripe was delicious. The tripe was tender and easy to eat. The pork sinigang was tangy and savory. There were lots of vegetables. I will definitely be coming back.

I've been coming to Lahi pretty often since it's conveniently close to my apartment. One of the main reasons I keep returning is the great food selection -- there's always something satisfying to enjoy. The service is consistently good, and the overall ambience is pleasant and relaxed. It's not a high-end spot, so don't expect anything fancy, but if you're after great food in a casual setting, Lahi delivers.

Sisig Bangus
Chunjai K.

Best Filipino restaurant ever! I go food shopping in Elmhurst very often and saw this place is on the way. I decided to try and this place is one of my favorite restaurant since. Food is great and server are friendly, happy and polite. The restaurant actually expands to another room and has bigger space and table. When the restaurant is busy, you will hardly see the server because they are running around doing stuff. I love Dasilog (brunch menu), Deep fried milk fish with garlic rice and fried egg. Tosilog (brunch menu), Sweet red pork with garlic rice and fried egg. Bistek Pinoy, beef sauteed with onion Sisig Bangus, chopped crispy milkfish with onion and seasoned. my favorite desserts are Halo and Leche Flan.

Sisig Bangus
Sharon L.

We've always driven past Lahi but never took the time to check it out, and I'm so glad we finally did! As a party of 4, we were seated rather quickly on a Friday evening (around 7:15pm), but the restaurant did fill up a bit shortly after. The space is a bit on the smaller side, but gives a home-y vibe. Between the 4 of us, we initially decided on the pork lumpia, chicken adobo, sisig bangus, lechon kawali, and palabok. Unfortunately, they were out of the palabok and chicken adobo, so we subbed with the adobo pork and held off on another noodle. Garlic rice is a must, and it comes with each of the entrees for an additional $1. I was honestly really pleasantly surprised by each dish. The lumpia was super crispy & tasty, and I could snack on these all day long! 12 sounds like a lot until you start eating - I could finish a plate of these myself (I think). The sisig bangus came out sizzling, and it was so fragrant! Adding the lemon in gave it that extra acidity that tied the whole dish together so well. This was really delicious, and definitely a highlight for me. Lechon kawali and adobo pork were both good, but nothing to write home about. The adobo was a little saltier than I expected, and I almost wish it had just a little more vinegar. We decided to add on two more dishes after a while, because the 4 alone didn't seem to be quite enough. After looking through some yelp reviews, we decided on the bihon and the sisig pork. The bihon was quite large portion wise, and really tasty in my opinion. It looks like such a simple dish, but the flavors are well balanced. Sisig pork was one of my faves - I enjoyed this a bit more than the sisig bangus, because I loooove the extra flavor from the fat. The staff is really kind, and they were quite apologetic when they notified us that they were out of some items. Service was paced well - we never had to wait too long for any of our dishes. Prices are reasonable - total came out to $123 after tax and tip. Overall, worth a visit, and I'd come back! Highly recommend getting a sisig and lumpia!

Bangus Sinigang
Simone L.

Very happy with the amount of milkfish and veggies they gave in this soup their kare kare also tastes great from my memory

Bistik
Kyrie Jude E.

Customer service was good. Clean resto and bathroom was okay. Food tasted so good specially the bistik, it was so tender and flavorful as well as the pancit. Although the Leche flan wasnt that smooth and silky. But over all i got satisfied and full.

Adobo Chicken
Jenny M.

Came here twice! Local Filipino restaurant in Elmhurst. They have a decent selection of food & a good amount of seating as well. - The first time I went, I got the Lechon Kawali and Pork Sisig Tacos. Yhe lechon was super fatty and flavorful and went well with the rice and sauce (4.5/5). The sisig tacos were good, I felt like there was too much flavors going on though but still super tasty (4/5). - The second time I went I got the Pork Sisig Hot Plate and Chicken Adobo. The pork was good but some parts were very tender which, over time, my jaws started to hurt from chewing (3.5/5). The chicken adobo took a while to come out as well. The flavor was good but I found the chicken to be a bit dry (3/5). Overall, this place is pretty good and the prices are not bad. I would come back to try the halo halo because they ran out of the ube ice cream when I went. The food is a bit greasy but tasty!

Small little place that serves authentic filipino food. My friend and I were craving filipino food so we made the drive to queens and we weren't disappointed! Everything came out sizzling hot and full of flavor. We ordered: - BBQ Pork or Chicken - Garlic Rice - Chicken Sisig Plate Definitely recommend coming here if you've never tried filipino food or you're just in the sudden mood for it!

The place has changed a bit, slightly different decor from the last time we were there. The atmosphere was more "bakya" than Kabayan (from across the street). Still nice. They kept the bar, which is good. The staff was friendly, but kind of rushed us to get our orders before the show started. They explained it would have been more difficult to take orders later. The food was really, really good. All the flavors were on point. For the appetizer, we had some Crispy Chicken Skins. It was nice and crispy, but it needed some more salt. We had the Port Belly Kare-Kare, Beef Salpicao, the Pancit Palabok, Laing and Gambas. The one that stole the show was the Bagnet. That was mind blowing! Very flavorful and I highly recommend it. Dare I say that the food was better than Kabayan. The Key Of C band rocked the whole night through. Everyone was dancing and enjoying the great music. It was such a fun-filled night. Definitely worth coming back to whether it's for the food or the music.

The place itself is nice and clean, and the staff were extremely kind, welcoming, and very…read moreattentive, which I really appreciated. Service wise, they did a great job. The chicken barbecue sticks were flavorful and enjoyable. Unfortunately, the lumpia Shanghai didn't quite hit the mark for me :( it tasted like it was fried in older oil, and the filling was very minimal, so it felt like mostly wrapper. I was most excited to try the pork sinigang. While the broth had good flavor, the pork didn't taste freshly cooked and came across as if it may have been made a day or two prior. Overall, I really liked the vibe of this place and the friendly service, which makes me hopeful that my next visit will be better. I'd definitely be open to giving it another try.

We did a Queens food crawl and Renee's was at the top of every list for Filipino food…read more We had the sampler platter, which was a HUGE offering of BBQ chicken, beef, longanisa sausage, pork chops, and pork belly accompanied by their crisp, refreshing atchara (like a slaw). All the meats were smoky and well seasoned and cooked appropriately. It was a ton of food for a great price. We also enjoyed their fresh juice (they have several types and you can see them making them behind the counter). Renee's is clearly a neighborhood spot where the locals flock. It was crowded and busy, but felt like the best kind of hole in the wall. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. Other options on the menu: all the aforementioned BBQ meats in various iterations, grilled squid, grilled fish, grilled eggplant. They also have filipino classics involving fried eggs and rice. Fried sardines, fried milkfish. They have Filipino spaghetti (ground beef, hot dogs, melted cheese). Various sautéed noodle dishes. Soups and Filipino stews. Large seafood section as well. Would happily return and strongly recommend this restaurant on any food crawl.

Make sure you come here hungry, we definitely ordered way too much food for 3 people but it was…read moredelicious. We ordered: * BBQ Grilled Sampler ($30) * Fried Sampler ($30) * Dinuguan ($14) * Oxtail Kare-Kare ($24) * Calamansi Juice ($5) * Calamansi Iced Tea ($5) * Warm Ube con Hielo ($8) Everything here is delicious. It felt like you were eating at someone's house. BBQ meat was slightly sweet and well marinated. The fried sampler was heavenly especially paired with the various dipping sauces from bagoong to spicy. Dinuguan was savory and paired well with white rice, don't be intimidated because it says it's a pork blood stew. The oxtail Kare Kare was tender and loved the peanut butter sauce. If you get the warm Ube, just make sure you mix it very well to get the perfect bite! This place is a must try in Woodside/Queens if you're trying to find good Filipino food!
