5 stars for the lechon here! (+ its sauce) Best I've had out of all the Filipino spots I've hit up. I also really like the lumpia here, fried savory goodness. I've had the pancit, and I believe it's just okay. I don't fully remember. This spot does get pretty busy, I normally go before lunch. Parking's not bad though, I always park right in front on the street. Service is good each time I go. read more

Manila Grill never misses. I always get the lumpia Shanghai and it's seriously so good every time -- crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Definitely one of my favorite comfort food spots whenever I'm craving Filipino food. Friendly service too! read more

Anytime we have a family dinner or I need to bring a delicious side dish to a gathering, I'm always headed to Manila Grille to order a pan filled with phenomenal lumpia.

Manila Grille - Lumpia - Filipino Near Me - Buena Park, California

~ Best Lumpia ~ They have a party pack for lumpia and I can easily finish it myself. The service is nice it's more like a fast food place. read more

I'm only here to rate the lumpia! OMG, they are the best tasting lumpia I have ever had. Perfectly crispy and seasoned, I could eat the whole tray. A couple of our filipino nurses brought us a tray for a potluck at work and they were the hit of the party. A tray of 50 pcs is about $20. I would drive all the Buena Park just for these little nuggets of deliciousness. Highly recommend the lumpiang shanghai! read more

Holy cow! Central OC - the heart of Orange County - offers some exciting places to eat. Manila Grille, flaws notwithstanding, offers excitement too. Located in a no man's land behind Knott's Berry Farm, MG sits removed from great food centers of the area. The cholesterol clogged artery of Korean spots along Beach Blvd, north of the 91, are a way's away; as are the good, bad, and ugly of Vietnamese venues in Little Saigon. Manila Grille stands as a lone islet on Knott Ave. The tables are stuffed with Filipinos (a good sign). Blacks and Mexicans occasionally place takeout orders (another good sign). From the steam table I selected a two item combo, which comes with rice. Someone overcooked the rice. Mushy and nasty. Alack, the problems continued beyond the rice. The entre Items were barely warm. I got a sisig and chicken curry on my combo. In both I detected the horrifying sight of bagged frozen vegetables. You find few things more unpleasant than bagged frozen vegetable. They prepare the sisig with pork belly and they add too much vinegar. No matter how hard you concentrate on it, you won't be able to detect much pork flavor. They cooked perfectly the chicken in the curry, but didn't bother adding much flavor to the curry. Two chode like longaniza are priced at $5, and they're the best thing I ate at Manila Grille. I don't think they make them in house, but I'm willing to keep an open mind. In any event, I liked them - their sweet and salty porkiness - large chunks of well cooked fat and skin in the mix are nice to chew on. The casing gives a satisfying snap. I didn't get any lumpia, nor did I get the pork adobo. Those two might be the best things they sell. Maybe I could have ordered better. But they certainly could have made better rice, better sisig, and better curry. At the very least, hot sisig and hot curry. read more

Manila Grille - Filipino Near Me - Buena Park, California

Placed an order a day ahead for a large party. Not only were they rude over the phone, but on the day of pickup they completely missed half our order and we had to wait for them to make it at pickup. There was no reimbursement or offer for their mistake. Don't order here for catering events. The order was under my husbands name, Brendan. We ordered 100 lumpias and 3 half trays of garlic fried rice. Placed and confirmed the order yesterday, 1/17 for pick up today, 1/18. Fried rice was not ready and had to be prepared on the spot. It would be understandable if we ordered multiple items and one item was missing. However, missing half of an order is pretty unacceptable. read more

We come here when we visit LA. Love their food especially their dinuguan. Their staff were very friendly. Restaurant was clean and organized. Will come back again if we're in LA. read more

Always reliable on their menu and consistent in the amount of serving. Their Pancit is the best as always!

By far one of the best family owned spots in Buena Park to get Filipino food. It's a small spot not much to look at in there. But the food and staff are what you really come to this spot for. They are always so nice and make you feel like you are at a family party. In my opinion a must try is there Turon, pancit, and lumpia! There is so much more to try! read more

I haven't eaten here in a while and today we did and I remember now why I don't like to eat here unless there's no other choice.The servers gives you so LITTLE food! Barely any rice and they have this small plastic containers that they barely put any food in.I ordered lechon kawali and the meat was old and the guy just gave me the fat part with no skin.I had to go back and ask the guy to give me the proper meat with skin and he did only to give me less and more attitude.Restaurants these days esp Filipino to go places they increase the price and give you less food.Will not come back....buy somewhere else.You'll leave hungry. read more

Manila Grille - Only a few small pcs ....yikes - Filipino Near Me - Buena Park, California

This is the spot! One of the best spot for Pinoy food in OC, the lechon is amazing, the beef steak is great, menudo etc.. everything is good. There's enough seats but I wish this place is bigger. It gets busy so I suggest to phone your orders in if you want a specific dish. Definitely recommend read more

I had some takeout from this place. I've had a lot of Filipino take out food over the years but this place is hands down the best. Beef Caldareta so tasty. Lumpia delicious. BBQ pork and chicken skewers juicy. Everything tasted great. Even the next two days we ate the leftovers and it was still delicious and tasted fresh. I'm looking forward to going back. read more

The Lumpia is the best! Everytime there's a get together a tray of their lumpia is always a hit. Also staff is super friendly even during the superbowl rush. read more

Amazing food!! Always fresh!! Friendly staff.. ambience really homie. All the food are delicious..Everytime I go always get the pancit malabon my favorite and igado.. read more

We ordered 24 pieces of veggie lumpia for a potluck party. The size was smaller than I'm used to, but they were still tasty and a good value for the price. I called about two hours before pickup, and they had it freshly cooked and ready when I arrived. It came with spiced vinegar on the side, which was a nice touch. Overall, great service and a convenient option for party food. read more

POOR customer service!!!!! I called an order and asked it be ready at 4:30....... Been sitting here 20 mins and told it will be ready soon. What's the point calling in just to sit here for them to make it!!!!!! Waste of time read more

Lovely restaurant in an area where you'd Lear expected a restaurant. Even with a lot of customers, ordering food is quick since it's fast food. You won't want to host a wedding here or anything but there is some limited seating in there. The pork adobo is outstanding. The portions are ok. I'll be back.... read more

I love the lumpia and pancit. It was my lunch for at least 2 days! I was eating as soon as I received my order. The service is quick and friendly. The inside has lots of tables and it smells amazing. I have to go back soon. read more

They're my go-to for Filipino food and catering orders! Always very friendly and their food is consistently good.

Hi everyone have lunch and find this places in Buena Park !Very delicious Filipino food don't forget to get Toron !

Was in the area and wanted some Filipino food. This was a great mom and pop restaurant. Very clean and we were greeted right away. Great service and everyone was very helpful with any questions you had. This is what they call a turo turo place where you basically point what you would like from the selections in the steam trays. The food choices change daily and it's a great way to try different Filipino foods. You can get a combo or a la carte items. All very reasonably priced and they give you generous servings. What we ordered: Adobo 5/5-This was my favorite. It had the perfect amount of salty and sour flavor. I like my adobo to be vinegary and this had the right amount. Palabok 4/5-Needed a little bit more sauce on the noodles but great combination of flavors. Lumpia 4/5- A little over cooked but it was tasty. Lechon Kawali 5/5- Hot and crispy with a great crunch. Definitely recommend it Menudo 3/5- Didn't care for it too much. Was too watery, bland and lacked flavor. Not sure if they forgot to add the liver but definitely missing something. Bummed because menudo is one of my favorites. Soup 5/5- Complimentary soup is included with the combo. It was sinigang today and it was sour and had enough zing to make your mouth pucker. It was yummy. Halo halo 3/5 - The ube ice cream on top was great but it needed more fillings and missing the leche flan. Overall we really liked the food and ordered some more to go. Definitely recommend this place and will be back soon to try the other dishes. read more

The Manila grille has a friendly staff that will serve you authentic Filipino food. I go there every week. They have many selections. Their prices are affordable. they serve breakfast lunch and dinner. Combination plates are an option.i love their breakfast likes Tapsilog,tocilog,longsilog,bangsilog and many more choices and I also my favorite is the Turon...yummy. I recommend Manila GRILLE if you enjoy authentic Filipino cuisine. read more

Lower quality, less variety and not as good as they used to be since new ownership. And their new to go containers are SO small compared to earlier last year but the price is the same if not higher so major shrinkflation going on. The dishes seem to be more meat heavy and dishes that include vegetables are few and far between and even then they are cheap with ingredients. In the past they made you more lumpia but the new owner seems to only cook once a day instead of refilling or replenishing dishes. It just feels like a more stingy experience overall and they run out of food hours before closing but don't make any more. I also disagree that their lumpia is good I actually don't like them and feel like they're overly salty and dry inside. read more

Filipino restaurant that offers catering options for all your party needs! They also take payment over the phone via Venmo. I love the convenience of it all. I usually order my usual half tray pancit bihon and 50 pieces lumpia. Usually comes out to about $60. The pickup time and ease of actually picking up is all so easy. If you've made your payment via Venmo, there's no need to fall into line at the register. Simply walk up to them and let them know you're picking up an order and it's been paid. They have "turo-turo" which means "pick-pick" like you pick and choose your entrees here by pointing with your finger or your lips. Lol. Everything I've tried from this place has been good. Of course it's oily as heck, you're at a Filipino restaurant ma'am sir. It's Filipino fast food that's inviting and of course has a TV either playing music or has Filipino news, there's plenty of tables to enjoy your meal and read your Filipino news here. Staff reminds me of an ate/tita/kuya/tito. read more

This little spot is sparsely, barely decorated and sports a gravel pit as a parking lot but don't let that deter you. It's a turo-turo place which literally means point-point to the food you would like to have and they do present you with a plethora of options. I ordered some catered dishes: kare-kare, pansit bihon and lumpia shanghai. I added some pusit, chicken adobo, chop suey and bistek. All of them were quite good. A tiny bit salty for my palate, but good nevertheless. I only had one teeny complaint, one of their servers was rather rude and curt but the rest of them were so nice that I'll be back for more. Oh also one warning, the turon they have on display may be reserved so if you're dying for those, I suggest you call ahead of your visit, just in case. Enjoy! read more

The food, staff, and atmosphere is second to none over here. I've been coming to manila grille for a while now and I can say that they've never disappointed me yet. All of their food is cooked with care and is always comforting to eat. They have a wide variety of food selection making it so that anyone will have something that they'll enjoy. Plus the prices for the food are very reasonable and affordable. If you're ever in oc looking for some high quality pinoy food, you definitely have to check out manila grille. read more

I absolutely love this place. You can really taste the authenticity of the food. I always call in to get food catered and they have done fast. read more

Their food is authentic and are priced reasonably. The casual setup is more like cafeteria style.

I was craving Pinoy food and was looking forward to try their Lumpiang Shanghai but when we got there at 12noon on a Saturday, I'm surprised that they don't have a lot of items available anymore. I'm not impressed with the taste of their food. Ordered Pork Sinigang soup, it's not hot, lacking veggies and not much meat more fat & bones. The Arroz Caldo barely has any chicken meat & again soup is not hot. Pancit Malabon seems old. BisTek Tagalog is just ok. Their 2 scoops of rice is more like only 1 scoop. Lechon kawali is just ok. I'm disappointed to not be able to try their Lumpiang Shanghai despite there were a lot in trays. They said they're sold out. They focused more on their catering orders and didn't even bother to make some for those people who are dining in. Not a lot of good selection considering it's a "Turo turo" style. Very disappointed and will not go back. I don't recommend this place. Go somewhere else for a good authentic Pinoy food. read more

Did catering. Half tray Pancit Bihon and 100 pcs Lumpia Shanghai. Food was very enjoyable...better tasting than that overhyped Lola's. Took off one star for not throwing in extra cups of sweet and sour sauce. We spent $172, you'd think that wouldn't be a problem. Yeesh. read more

They're always a hit when I order lumpia party tray for my gatherings with friends. Honestly this place is amazing and runs a really affordable lunch special $12 for 2 sides and rice read more

Food is delicious, parking is weird. Kind of cramped inside, but I usually order to-go anyway. They have a huge selection of my faves. I'm just sad that they close pretty early. I get off work at 8 so I can't enjoy it often. read more

Tastiest and Best Filipino egg rolls all around area. We ordered a 50 pieces tray and it was absolutely delicious! A group of 10 high schoolers tried their Shanghai egg rolls for the very first time and were pleasantly surprised, asking me where they came from? The cost for order was affordable where I would return. This location is off of the Knott Avenue 91 frwy. exit. The parking is sufficient for pick up orders, although it is a pebbled parking, not concrete. There is also sit down tables to eat in, like your "mamas home cooking!" If you do "pick up orders, call in before you drive there" because they have many orders and customers come in. Thereby, you need to be sure it is ready before you drive out to this location. I waited 30 minutes for my order to be ready and it was a surprise birthday party. Save yourself the time, call and ask them "will my order be ready at the scheduled time?" Hence, it will allow you to adjust your schedule if there is an issue. The restaurant does it's best, however the food is delicious so it gets very busy. read more
