I agree with others that the food is way too expensive. I thankfully stopped in for the first time during happy hour when the appetizers were half off. Not being an expert at all about Filipino food, I personally thought the food was was pretty good but it's true that there weren't any Filipinos in the kitchen, as was pointed out by other reviewers. My biggest complaint was the service, which was lacking. They were nice but seemed to be new in the customer service department and didn't look after my needs very well. Make sure you pay attention to your bill when you get it as well. After being there a while, when I asked for my check becauseI had to go, they initially didn't give it to me and went about doing other things. Then when they finally got it to me, they had not given me happy hour pricing (50% off), then had to call a manager to fix it. Also, pay attention to the tip schedule where you can just check a box to apply. The tip schedule is 18, 25, or 30 percent. I usually tip VERY well, but come on guys, let's be realistic when your pricing is so high for your food items already and your servers are pretty inexperienced. The lowest you could tip in this scenario without doing your own calculations would have been $11 on a $35 bill. Just to give you an idea of appetizer pricing, 3 small appetizers, a small bowl of garlic rice, a Filipino beer, and a soda, would have been $63.59 for one person without Happy Hour appetizer prices. Though the food was good to this Filipino food rookie, I predict they will not last long I'm sorry to say. read more

Beautiful restaurant, Friendly staff, Delicious food. We had the egg rolls & calamari for appetizer, the whole fish & the chicken for dinner, and the flan for dessert. All very good, and we were very full. read more

I wanted to experience this newer restaurant and try a different form of cooking. However, I was taken back a bit by the quality. The fried pork appetizer was nice and crispy with side of sauce that was heavenly and malt vinegar. I would have appreciated it to be a bit less dry, but still tasty. The adobo chicken was 'good' at best with the rice being overcooked and mushy. I could only finish the chicken before feeling the meal was becoming gross from goopy texture. Admittedly, the best thing I received was from the dessert options of a Buko Salad. Incredibly light and refreshing. Would I come back? I don't think so with the expensive price point and 'OK' quality, but it's something to try once and say "I been there." The service was incredibly friendly on a dead day, and they offered suggestions on how to eat the meals if you were confused. Overall the decor and ambiance is nice. Lots of blue. read more

Lasang Pinoy - Chicken adobo and fried pork appetizer. - Filipino Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Great food, attentive staff, quick service! Definitely check this place out! Menu highlights: lumpiang, fish crudo, whole fried snapper, and turon for dessert read more

I really want this restaurant to make it. The food is good but they really need to work out a lot of kinks. For starters I had a long lunch. Three hours! The kitchen was really struggling to keep up with orders. My sons pork adobo was a little on the rare side. My shrimp pancit was excellent. If you enter from the mall you have to search for the hostess stand as it is at the outside entrance. Mango smoothie was yummy. Dishes are on the expensive side. I don't know if annapolis can support a Filipino restaurant but I surely hope so. Ambiance is a little cafeteria style but ok. Service was fine but slow. read more

Lasang Pinoy - Shrimp Pancit - Filipino Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

My daughter and I went in today to taste some of their filipino food..

I ordered pansit .. 30 mins passed no food, I start to wonder.. after 45 minutes no sign of my pansit, i asked the bill and ask for the manager, he came over and i said my food never came? the other table had pansit but I placed my order way ahead of them!!! He apologized and said i will just tale put from your bill. wow as in wow!!!! I never had this experience before lol... Now I believe those other reviews online! read more

The place wasn't very busy when we got there but considering it's a Monday afternoon and it was their second day being open, it's understandable. The server was very helpful and attentive to our needs. The wait time for the food was not bad either. The interior was nice and simple. It had modern designs, which was nice. The only downside for me was the pricing. It was quite expensive for what I got. read more

I was so disappointed. The food was bland and no flavor of Filipino soul. You could tell it was more latin than filipino. Not returning or recommending anytime soon. I told the waiter and made a note on the ticket. read more

I was beyond excited about this place opening up, so I made sure to be there for their grand opening. I didn't mind the crazy expensive price after seeing the ambiance of the restaurant. However, after 1.5 hours of sitting, waiting for my to-go order, that excitement went down the drain quickly. They say hunger makes the food taste even better, this one made me gag. 2 of my meat entrees were a bit undercooked (which is not good for pregnant women), the proportions were unreasonable, and the presentation was not there. To break it down even more, the pork bbq had no taste, the adobo was watered down, and the lechon kawali came with no sauce. Save your money, save your time and stay away from food raw food. The lady waited 1 hour waiting for her small $12 halo halo and turon. 3 miniature puto are about $1 each and the taste was bland. read more

Great place, great food, great people. Went looking for comfort food while in the area and found Lasang Pinoy and they knocked it out of the park. The vibes were great and the waitress was very nice. I ordered the sisig kawali and it came on a sizzling plate. It was fresh and hit all the right notes. I also got complimentary ube puto and it was a nice sweet pairing to the sisig. The chef and owner came to talk to me about my experience and their vision and it was so nice to meet them. Please support this minority owned business it is 10/10! read more

I hate doing this since I'm Filipino and am usually so excited to support a fellow Pinoy/Pinay. First of all, the food is SO overpriced! I've been to nice Filipino restaurants, the most expensive being in Hawaii and San Francisco, and none of them charge the prices that are here...especially not for the (small) size of the servings we received. My family of 6 came in and were seated promptly, but that's the extent of where we got a normal restaurant experience. We ordered 3 appetizers (vegetable lumpia, lumpiang shanghai, and barbeque skewers), a side of garlic rice, and 3 desserts (2 halo halo and a leche flan). It took over an hour to get all our food. The flavor of the food was just ok for the things we got, but for the time it took to get to us I expected larger portions. The restaurant wasn't even close to being full and was actually closer to being empty, but seriously over an hour for 3 appetizers and 3 desserts? Two of the desserts are literally ice and the rest of the ingredients just added with ice cream on top. We even had to ask for our garlic rice at the end because it didn't come out or was forgotten or whatever the reason. It didn't even taste like normal garlic rice (you normally fry garlic in oil and add the rice in to give it the most amazing garlic flavor). We actually considered leaving when we saw the prices on the menu, but felt bad because we were already seated. We regretted not leaving when the bill came and we were told there was an automatic gratuity automatically added for parties of 5 or more. Not unusual for us because we're a family of 6, but no disclaimer on the menu or entry sign; we just learned about it when we got our check. In all, we paid almost $100 including gratuity for 3 appetizers, 3 desserts, and a garlic rice in a 1.5 hr span. Maybe I missed the gratuity note somewhere, but it doesn't matter; we won't be coming back or recommending this place to anyone. I really do hope they figure things out because I really wanted this place to be great. read more

I will say I was excited to the try the Filipino food in MD but I honestly wasted my time...I've eaten authentic Filipino food...trust me it definitely was not authentic! The veggie lumpia Shanghai was not good and definitely not what was in the picture, the chicken skewers tasted really odd & cold..overall the garlic fried was okay "okay"...I hate wasting food so ate as much as I can. The service was okay! I wasn't asked if I needed a refill of my calamansi drink or if I wanted anything else to drink... I don't think I will be back...I paid $45 for a small bowl of garlic rice, 3 chicken skewers & 2 pieces of "lumpia"! Of and my watered down calamansi drink!!! For $45 it WAS NOT WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!! read more

Best, best, best food in the area! If you're looking for authentic Filipino food, served with a smile, this is where you need to come! Don't know what to get? Start with the Lumping Shanghai and go from there! Still don't know? Ask for a recommendation. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Will be coming back on a regular basis! read more

Wow - so impressed. This place is hidden so be sure to look for it. Fantastic service, ambiance, and such tasty food !

This place was absolutely superb. We stopped in just looking for food and asked for a menu tour... everything seemed wonderful. I ended up getting an amazing beef kaldereta. It was one of the most flavorful sauces I have ever had. Our server was Jowen and he was very helpful and kind even though we were there while he was closing. It is a very nice interior. I will definitely be coming back! read more

I usually don't do social media and have only posted two reviews on Yelp. Both were very positive, due to the great service received giving them 5 stars. Can't say the same, however, with this place, but the opposite instead. We (two families) were in the area visiting the Naval Academy. I live in CA where there are tons of Filipino restaurants, and the other family lives in VA with not as much Filipino restaurants. We knew this place was new and wanted to give it some business, as well as to try their food, even though their prices were much higher than a lot of full serviced restaurants (not turo-turo) I've been to! We came on a Sunday, a party of 10 (three adults and 7 children). We were told by the host that they were only serving "silongs" menu at the time, which was great because that's exactly what we were craving for and wanted. It was around noonish, there were much more empty tables than the less than a dozen customers seating and eating. A few minutes later, we were told, by another person AND the general manager, that they couldn't take our party, as they were expecting two large groups at 2pm, and they only have one cook. Ok, so the two parties made reservations and we didn't. But, since they were only serving "silongs" which is really NOT very hard to make, plus there was over an hour to go before the large party, they still could have easily accommodated us. But nope! Oh, they also said that due to short staffing, they, too, have to do the serving of food to the customers already eating. Wait...Isn't that what good establishments do? We pitch in whenever needed. Oh well, I just hope the "two large parties" arriving at 2pm were presidents or dignitaries, worthy of their service, rather than us ordinary people. We left. I wouldn't give this a star if it was up to me, but not an option on Yelp. Sorry, but not sorry. read more

The service was great but the food was a under seasoned and expensive for the amount. The highlight was the turon and the halo halo. The dessert was spot on filipino taste. However, most of the entrees (especially the ginisang gulay and beef caldereta) awere not properly seasoned and expensive for the portion. read more

Stopped by for dinner after work and enjoyed eating authentic Filipino food in the local area. The chef makes almost everything from scatch as exhibited by the dipping sauces of the lumpia and lechon. Resulting in few reviewers pointed to the slow service and pricey menu. It is not fast food, it is ethnic food done right. The staff was friendly taking their lead from one of the owners personally coming to each of the occupied table and inquirying on the dining experience with light bantering. The portions are generous and made to order. I will definitely be back. read more

Happy hour is an exceptional value. Food was epic and made with super high quality ingredients. Cocktails were well crafted. Staff could not be friendlier or more accommodating. Please support this very special and unique restaurant! read more

I just tried this restaurant today and was very impressed with the taste of the food and service. I eat Filipino food on a regular basis and it's hard to find a good Filipino restaurant anywhere with the taste of home; and I travel all over United States. The ambience is nice and the Manager is very cordial. We had a great Waiter too (Ash) - he was there for all of our needs with a table of eight. This is the place to be . read more

We made our effort to support them so yesterday we called twice to check their hours and the woman said they closed midnight. We got there past 9 pm and we were greeted saying they were closed for the evening. Not even saying sorry we are closed and not saying the reason why, I think it was unprofessional. read more

My first time trying this place and it was sooo good! We had the lumpia for an appetizer and I had the oxtail for an entree. Both were so delicious! I also had the ube ice cream! Yummy! read more

Stopped by for lunch today during their soft opening. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions were great.

We ate lunch there today and really enjoyed it. The food was all very fresh tasting and high quality. We will be back for dinner.

We are in Annapolis to visit our son who's attending USNA and was looking for some hearty Filipino cuisine and this place did not disappoint. Service was awesome, food came out quick, hot and fresh. I highly recommend the cassava flan for dessert. We ordered lechon belly and ginisang gulay (stir fried vegetables) and everything was so good! Planning to come back and try more food from their menu. If you love Filipino food, this place is for you. read more

Amazing service from our server. He gave us free sweet rice cakes as we sat down and recommended some deep fried pork belly(highly recommend). I don't know why this place isn't packed all the time!!! Come come read more

Great for providing some employment to the community but food and service needs to be better than our experience yesterday.

We were there on the opening day and looking at reviews posted since then I see that nothing has improved. We really wanted to like this place and anxiously waited for it to open. The food was extremely bland and way too expensive even allowing for the fact that they're in the mall and have to pay the high rent there. We ordered three dishes: chicken adobo, pancit, and beef skewers. I make chicken adobo at home all the time, it should have a nice, strong flavor of soy sauce, vinegar and garlic and my Filipina spouse loves the way I make it. The restaurant's sauce was very light in color, so not enough soy sauce (and therefore not enough of the salt that's in it), we could barely taste the vinegar or garlic either. Definitely over-priced at $25, especially for the small amount of chicken in the bowl. The pancit looked very nice, but was also bland and had very little seasoning of any kind. Like the adobo it had almost no flavor at all. The beef skewers at least did taste of the sauce they are marinaded in, but they were small and also a bit expensive for the amount of food. All three of us, me, my spouse and our adult son, had the same reaction: the food was bland and overpriced. We were hoping it would improve after they'd been open a while, but I can see by current reviews that it hasn't changed at all. I am posting this in hopes that they read reviews and improve, I'd happily change my review and go back if they did that. But until then, we won't be going back. The one positive was the staff as they were very nice and polite, but if the food's not good it's not enough to make a return visit. read more
