So glad to see…read morethey have grown to a restaurant with an amazing owner, friendly staff, amazing food, great environment- nothing has changed just location!!! My favorites are the adobo either chicken or pork and of course the fried pork belly (lenchon). Beautiful sitting area, feels like you are eating at home with an amazing cook at hand. Thank you!!!

I got the Halo Halo but without the evaporated milk. It was still delicious and still very sweet so…read moreI definitely recommend it without the evaporated milk if you're unable to consume any milk products. I can still eat ice cream though LOL. The dessert drink was absolutely delicious. I waited for the shaved ice to melt a little bit so I can drink some of it and all the little fruits in there and the beans were absolutely so fresh and I really love the Ube in there. I'm one of those type of people that like to custom my drinks and food so next time I would probably omit some of the fruits in there and either add extra Ube or extra ice cream or something like that if they allow it. The service was exceptional. The folks behind the counter were absolutely super sweet. I know they're Filipino, but I literally felt like I was in Hawaii. The service was so incredible. I felt like I was in paradise.

The Filipiniana is a small, humble eatery that sits in a rather hidden plaza (it's hardly…read morenoticeable from the main road) along and at the crossroads of eastbound Waters Avenue and Dale Mabry. Like most other Filipino restaurants/cafe, there is a behind-the-counter, glass protected buffet at the forefront of the restaurant. From here, you can make your selections as you build your combination platter. The Filipiniana also offers a small section of baked goods and desert, while specializing in drinks such as Halo Halo and other Asian-curated beverages. Interesting to note that the Filipiniana offers catering in the kamayan style (simply put, a spread of various dishes over banana leaves to be shared by multiple people amd eaten with hands). However, they don't serve this in house/at the location - you will have to give advance notice (like with other caterers) to have this prepared. The Filipiniana is definitely a good spot to satiate your curiousity, explore, and discover Filipino cuisine!

I love Filipino food and have been searching for the tastes I love. Pinay hit the spot. I have…read moreordered from them three times so far. First just a plate of pancit and lumpia, to make sure it tasted like I remembered. I ate the lumpia before I even got home. Then I ordered a lumpia tray for a dinner party with a Filipino family friend (she said lumpia was too much work) and everyone enjoyed it. Today my staff at USF celebrated APIDA/MENA month by introducing them to pancit and lumpia. It was awesome! They couldn't get enough. I will continue ordering from Pinay!

WOW is all I can say! This was the real deal! Absolutely delicious Filipino food that was bursting with flavor! The pancit was perfectly cooked and so flavorful with just the right bite in the noodles. The lumpia was one of the best I've ever had! Delicious filling and super crispy on the outside (zero grease!). The flan is to die for! I didn't but I could have eaten the entire thing myself! Give this small business a chance you will not be sorry!!

Came here for Saturday evening dinner. We made reservation a few days in advance. Place was super…read morepacked and a little loud. Service was exceptional, actually ever helpful since the menu is huge and it's hard to know what to order, waiter was showing us pictures of the dishes. I did find the menu to be way too large and overwhelming. I would prefer to have it smaller. It took us awhile to figure out what to order. The vibe is very similar to the "meat market", pretty loud, old men on a gear with super young women drinking. We were seated far away in the corner and we were happy about that. They had non alcoholic cocktails, but server told us that they all super sweet and he recommended virgin mojito. Which was very good. We ordered miso cauliflower, which was great, and the portion was pretty decent. Crispy rice spicy tuna was amazing, we loved it. We also had salmon tartare and island maki sushi. Everything was exceptional. We got recommended to get a cheesecake and my husband loved it but I didn't like it at all. I was expecting more Asian style but it was super American overly sweet cheesecake. I don't like very sweet food, so it wasn't my thing. But they did have hot tea which was great to end the dinner with.

I really like this place. The ambiance, the vibes, the food, and the service. I've been wanting to…read moretry to place since they've opened, but never made it there until recently. Let's start with drinks -- perfectly crafted cocktails. I got to try everyone's drink around the table and I enjoyed each one. I ended up ordering a Grass Tiger myself and then a Lychee Martini. For food, we ordered enough to share with the table. We went with a Midori Roll, Lobster wagyu, Crispy Rice, Hamachi Sashimi, Toro Sashimi, Crab Noodle, Panang Beef Short Rib, and a Yellowtail Jalapeño. Everything we ordered was pretty damn delicious. The only thing I can pick on is that the crispy rice wasn't as crispy as it should have been and most likely sat at the cooks station for a while before making it to our table. The people at my table usually order this and said that this was a one off. Overall, this is a great place for dinner. I'd love to come try it out for lunch one day if provided. If not, I'll be back regardless.

My coworker and I were from out of town, we were looking for a Filipino restaurant and saw this…read moreplace with great reviews. The site says 7pm so we got back to our hotel and immediately drove to this place. It was around 6pm when we got there and the sign says food was sold out. We were heart broken and hungry. We sat in the car searching for another food spot when a man walked up to us (we thought it's the last customer coming out with to go food). We asked him if it's truly sold out, he said yes and handed us his food. We tried to turning him down, we didn't want to take his food. He was very insistent and then finally came out as the owner of the restaurant. He said, here have the food, we offered to pay but he couldn't take payments since his system has been closed. He even walked back inside the restaurant and gave us rice to go. We didn't get to see and taste all of their food, but the chicken adobo, humba, lumpia, pork sausage and monggo that he gave was delicious!! We went back to the hotel and gobbled the food. Now I know why the food was delicious, because the owner has a big heart. It reflects on the food that he serves. He definitely gained new loyal customer with his welcoming attitude. He didn't have to give us food, he could've just simply told us to come back the next day, but he didn't. Filipino hospitality was on full display through the owner. I will come back again to this restaurant whenever I visit St. Pete. Thank you so much for your kindness. I hope that karma blesses you back 10x more, you deserve high ratings for the food and your kindness.

Favorite Fla Cousin, and I finally got to Abuhan to try their food, as we were told they had the…read morebest Filipino food in the area and we certainly were not disappointed.. The gentleman behind the counter was very nice, and explained all the different sides to us. The Pancit Bihon, pork adobo, beef stew, bitter melon, and two other pork dishes were all delicious, but our favorite for both of us was the beef stew... We did not arrive till after 1:30 so the Lechong Kawali, was gone, it goes fast because it is so delicious I was told so you have to get there by around 12:30, or you can order some by phone and they will put a portion away for you to pick up... I love bitter melon, which is definitely an acquired taste, I was very happy to find it served here... We will definitely be coming back to have some of that Lechong Kawali, and some lumpia...

This review is for delivery. I ordered using Door Dash. The food was picked up at the expected time…read morebut there were delays on the delivery that were not the fault of Maganda Cuisine. The packaging was adequate. I ordered the BBQ pork, the lumpia, pancit bahon, and the fried fish. The pork and the fish came with rice. The portion size was good. Because the food delivery was delayed, the food was cold, but I won't count that against the food truck. Flavors were good. Textures seemed proper. I don't know that the pancit or the lumpia were the best I've ever had, but for the price, they were pretty good! All in all, I think I like Manila Eats better, but Maganda Cuisine has more operating days, so there you go.

Great food truck - my parents loved it. Great variety and the food came out fairly quickly!…read moreEverything we've had, we've liked... so if you like Filipino food but don't want to cook it yourself - stop by here! Super friendly, too. Sometimes when I drive by, it's closed, so I don't know exactly when the hours are. But I just call ahead to order and I've never had an issue with timing. Also, I wouldn't recommend eating there without headphones bc it's right by the interstate... but it's easy to just call ahead and do take out... otherwise, it's very loud and cars are constantly driving by. Sometimes when I'm waiting in school pickup line, I make an order and it's ready by the time I leave the car line!! Talk about convenience! Bottom line, this truck is another example of a local small business trying to make it! Please go check them out and help support them! Maybe if they can grow their business - they can afford a store front or a better location. Anyway, definitely worth trying and coming back soon!

Best thing: The friendly staff, quick service, and consistently hot, high-quality food…read more Review: Having been to quite a few Jollibee locations across the country, I can confidently say that the Pinellas Park location did a really remarkable job. Visiting around 1:00 p.m. turned out to be the perfect timing; arriving just after the main lunch rush meant it wasn't overly crowded, which made for a very pleasant and relaxed experience. The customer service was exceptional--the staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, and they were quick to get the food out. Everything served was piping hot and absolutely delicious. The interior of the restaurant, including the restrooms, was impeccably clean and well-maintained. Being Filipino, I'll admit to a natural fondness for the brand, but even with high standards, this branch truly stands out for its execution. Finding the restaurant is incredibly straightforward as it sits right off the main road in a shared business plaza, providing plenty of easy parking right out front. Cons: Navigating the traffic layout can be a bit tricky depending on your direction of travel. If you need to head out the opposite way on the main road, you cannot make a direct turn and instead have to navigate down the next couple of side streets to find a traffic light to safely turn around. Thumbs up / Thumbs down: Thumbs up! I highly recommend this location and will definitely be back.

We had such high hopes, but everything was below mid. It's cheap dark meat, fatty cuts that are…read moreexpensive and not tasty. My hubby says that Jollibee is "Glorified Gas Station Chicken." We were so excited but after spending over $50 on 5 pieces of chicken, a yum burger, side spaghetti, palabok, fries and a coconut icy.... We felt it was pretty pricy for 2 adults and 2 kids. The service, was fast food centric and of course they messed up the order and forgot the icy. Oh well. My chicken was passable (I got spicy) but the regular chicken was gross and the guys refused to finish it. The yum burger tastes ultra processed (but still a step up from Whitecastle), the spaghetti was interesting with a banana sweetened ketchup sauce overtop that was slightly unique. The palabok was the most interesting, but somehow also tasted fast foodish and not "fresh". Jollibee's must taste better in other countries? This is our second time trying and every time we leave poorer, disappointed, and with a slight stomachache. Def felt less "jolly" after eating here. No thank you.
