Last week when we were in Charleston, we were lucky enough to happen upon Kultura. It's a Filipino…read morerestaurant. Before before getting to the food, the space was inviting and had a lot of cool touches. And the service was great! My wife, youngest, and I shared a number of plates. Some of the first include included the Kinilaw, the Lumpia, and the Laing. The Kinilaw is a yellow tuna dish. The tuna melted in your mouth and the flavors from the coconut-leche dressing, ginger, and jalapeño, as well as the fresh mint, added to the flavor palette. I didn't try the Lumpia because it is skinny spring rolls made with ground pork. My wife and youngest said they were great in really enjoyed the taste. The Laing was a vegetable dish involving creamy brace kale with garlic, ginger, and coconut milk. Of course it sounds different and it was, but in a really good way. Again, the way the flavors worked together was really great. The last dish we got was the Curry. It is grilled red snapper with braised, mung beans, tempura sweet potatoes over coconut red curry sauce and rice. It was so good. Again, the flavors in this dish were amazing. The fish was cooked just right. And the way the dish worked together was a piece of culinary art. They also had cool cocktails, good beers, and even mocktails for our teenager. Our experience at Kultura was better than we even expected from looking at the menu online. If you find yourself in Charleston, do yourself a favor and check this place out.

TINY PORTIONS, BASIC FOOD - OVERPRICED..RUDE OWNERS - A COMPLETE INSULT - DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR…read moreMONEY. I went to Formosa today with my husband and left absolutely FUMING. I've never felt so blatantly disrespected at a restaurant. They tried to have me pay $16.95 for what looked like a kid's sample plate-- it was that bad. The owner then slaps (I'm SERIOUS) the plate back on my table yelling, "OKAY, You can pay $14.00"..what the heck? You disrespect me and still want me to pay anything for this? You lost you mind. I was served maybe ONE OUNCE of chicken breast. Not a full meal -- not even close. Just a few sad slivers of onion and about half a cup of rice. For nearly $17. This wasn't some gourmet presentation either -- it looked like something thrown together at a soup kitchen. It was downright insulting. When I brought it up, calmly and respectfully, the owner snapped at me, saying, "DID YOU EVEN LOOK AT THE MENU?" Your menu should have said, food that looks like overpriced and basic. Excuse me? I didn't raise my voice, I didn't curse -- and that's the response I get? After I said I wasn't going to pay $16 for three bites of food, they started gossiping about me to other customers, giving me nasty looks, and rambling about being "in business for 20 years" as if that justifies their attitude and garbage portions. I'm sorry, but being in business for 20 years doesn't give you a license to treat people like trash or serve meals that wouldn't satisfy a toddler. Their arrogance is unbelievable. DO NOT EAT HERE. You'll walk away feeling ripped off, disrespected, and hungry. The owners clearly don't care about their customers anymore -- if they ever did. I paid cash for our lumpia and our sweet teas and left right after our interaction. I won't walk out on a bill but I wont ever be taken advantage of. These people were effing nasty. And if they are reading this -- yes, I'm talking to YOU TWO the owners -- maybe take a long, hard look in the mirror. Your behavior is disgraceful, and your food is embarrassing. Either drastically change the way you treat your paying customers, or do us all a favor and RETIRE - your washed up.

Although they aren't solely a Filipino place they do have a few unique Filipino dishes on their menu. Like every other Asian restaurant in town they are Asian Fusion thus they have mix of Asian Cuisines on their menu. The first bad sign was just after sitting down when I smelled the smoke from someones cigarette. I truly hate smelling cigarette smoke so things were off to a very bad start. We order I got the lumpia and chicken adobo. The lumpia was just OK and was the highlight of the experience. The so called chicken adobo was nothing like what it should have been, It was chicken and gravy and was not even that good. This was the worst Asian meal I have ever had. I wouldn't come back here if I was starving as this place is horrible!!!

Visited Luz's for weekday lunch because we heard they served filipino food. Was not disappointed,…read morePansit and Pork Adobo was good. Lumpia was called "eggrolls" and were also outstanding. I tried the Pepper Steak, which was GREAT! Another interesting item was the Bacon Fried Rice, very tasty. The menu also includes a couple appetizers and burgers/sandwiches, fish and seafood, as well as steak. Service was good, hostess stopped by often and refilled drinks/water. The atmosphere is no-frills, think bar/cafe, so don't expect fancy fine dining. And if you're inclined...you can buy lotto tickets before you leave. Definitely a place to stop in and grab some priced-right, comfort food. Adding Luz's to my weekly lunch stop.

The portion of food they gave you was great! We had leftovers and some of us too the food home. Since they found out it was my birthday, the staff came out and sang happy birthday to me.
