So, I've been craving Filipino food for a few days. I couldn't find any restaurants in the area we…read morewere staying . BUT my husband found this place after we went on a train ride adventure in NJ. And this happened to be on the way back in PA. It's delicious and authentic. The lumpia, pancit and fried pork belly are the show stoppers. I did enjoy the Korean beef and adobe chicken as well. Great service and clean inside. They also have a small store inside, so if you want Filipino snacks they have that too!

Just a great place to eat & shop! The owners are delightful. They were patient with all our…read morequestions and made excellent suggestions!

As a Jamaican-born person who knows how to cook and truly appreciates good food, I have to say this…read moreplace was mediocre at best. The food is overpriced for the portion sizes and overall quality, and the service was just average. Most disappointing of all, the flavor was lacking. I expected much more authenticity and seasoning, especially for the price.

Street parking. I didn't see any high chair. Filipino food tastes good here and good quantity serving. Would recommend to try for Filipino food. I see comments that the owner/staff is not pleasant. I think it is because he has some medical issues going on. I heard him talking about his medical concerns to a friend. See images for reference

The lady overcharged me paid almost $150 for my order.

I guess I paid almost $16 for each order. When they give you a copy of the receipt it just shows the total not the price for each item. I come here for the price but I won't be coming back for a while.

This Labor Day weekend marks the transition of Harana Market into something else. This weekend is…read morethe last weekend they will be open as a restaurant. Please read more on their website: "Update from us". As they evolve, they are "remaining rooted in the things we love most: feeding people, building connections, and amplifying and uplifting our queer, trans, and AAPI culture." Those are commendable goals. We will be there to support you along the way. Please tell all your staff we appreciate all the grub and the community building. Busog na busog. Salamat po. - Very full. Thank you.

So glad I got to try this place while they were a full-service restaurant! Came upon opening on a…read moreSunday for brunch and sat inside. Complimentary garlic popcorn was perfect.

They made sure that all our needs were met and that we had a great night. The decor was classy and very homey. One of the long benches they had reminded me of my uncle's back in his home in Laguna, Philippines. The food was exceptional. Everything was cooked perfectly. They didn't lessen the flavors to cater to the "American" palette. We were really full by the end of the night. This spot is really worth visiting. Go check them out if you're in the neighborhood.

I had a eureka moment when I discovered Maricel's Kitchen. I immediately declared, "This is where…read morewe're celebrating our anniversary!" Cozy and unpretentious, it's a small business and a true hidden gem. The moment we set foot in the door, we were warmly greeted by Paul, the extraordinary host and husband of the chef, Maricel. Upon seeing our reservation via OpenTable, he noticed we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. He gave us the most romantic table in the house. Megan quickly came out to take our order. We were deciding, and she mentioned they have Benguet coffee. As it was freezing outside, it was perfect as we looked through the menu. The Benguet coffee came out in a French Press. Benguet coffee is a single-origin coffee that grows in the Northern part of the Philippines. We tasted notes of chocolate, berries, and nuts. Intoxicating!! Pandesal, Filipino bread with accompanying butter, came out with the coffee. These are truly melt-in-your-mouth, as when you first break it, the crispy outer layer gives way to a soft and fluffy center. Heavenly!! We decided upon their Kamayan Tower, which is a 4-tier is like a Filipino celebration of food, all brought together and giving you a tasting banquet at your table. The top tier was the appetizers, where crispy Lumpia and Siomai (Filipino version of Shumai) lay. The second tier consisted of Pork Sisig, Chicken Inasal, and Pancit Bihon. The Pork Sisig was my absolute favorite as it was a symphony of rich and savory flavors. My husband loved the Chicken Inasal, as the flavor profile is smoky, tangy, and savory-sweet. The following tier held many delights, but what stood out from that tier were Chicken Adobo, the perfect ratio of soy and vinegar marinade, and the crispy Whole Fried Tilapia. Excellent combination of crispy skin and moist and flaky inside. Last but not least, the final tier had many stars, but what stood out for us was Beef Kaldereta and Inihaw Na Liempo. The primer is a stew with vegetables, potatoes, and tender beef. Slow-braised in tomato-based sauce, giving us hearty and comfy feelings. The latter is grilled pork belly, where the smoky and sweet flavors come together. Just when we were finished, Megan brought out a plate of desserts, and Paul gave us two flutes of champagne to celebrate. The food was all phenomenal, as was the service. Chef Maricel herself came out to greet us, and we talked about how these dishes were prepared. She has a full staff prepping for the dishes and truly tries to replicate the flavors of her grandmother's cooking from Manila. Both she and Paul were in the cooking school where they first met, and we laughed at how we first met our spouses. The place is a hidden gem, and Chef Maricel wisely chose her signage to be huge black lettering on a white, lit-up background so that passing cars can see her restaurant as they drive by. Plenty of parking as they share a parking lot in the strip mall. If you are looking for great Filipino cuisine where they treat you like family, this is the place. The place is not huge, so I strongly recommend people make their reservation via OpenTable. Chef Maricel also mentioned they offer cooking lessons during the weekdays, except for Friday evening, and they also serve Classic Filipino brunch towers on weekends. Sign. Me. Up!!

Two entrees and rice/noodles for a set price, but when you select your two entrees, if it contains beef or pork, which is the WHOLE menu, they charge you extra. Now what starts out as a combination plate with rice/noodles and two entrees for $11, becomes + $2 for beef and + $3 for pork, and you end up paying $16 with tax. Inflation is a B!tch and everybody is taking advantage of it in their own way. I cook better than these restaurants anyway. We were just trying to patronize to show support. I'll be cooking from home until this lunacy ceases to persist.

A delicious find and a bargain of a Sunday buffet…read more A Filipino restaurant offering all you can eat is unheard of, especially offering over hot 20 dishes including dessert. Classic dishes include pancit, adobo, sinigang, kare-kare, and lechon. They even include dipping sauces on the side. Dessert is included, however if you want to indulge in halo-halo that comes at a separate charge but worth it. Seating area is large and tables are plentiful. There is no table service, but it's not needed or missed at the self service Sunday buffet. The operators are busy hustling food and answering phones but chat with a smile when asked questions. Such good Filipino food, plentiful and at a great price should be bookmarked in your favorites.
