Just faaaaannnnnttttasssiiiicccc. I'm big on bread and it was so soft. It was served on a toasted roll along with big pieces of pork with a skin that was so crispy and crackling to complement the juicy meat. The portions were huge, which surprised me. Everything is such small portions these days but it was worth the cost. You have a choice between fries and chips. The chips were not home made so I opted for the fries. They also gave me a side of sauce, which almost tasted like Big Mac sauce? The arugula also adds on to the taste. My biggest regret was not getting two! A tip is you can call ahead and place your order. If you're in a rush, just call ahead. It looked like a nice sit down establishment as well.

It's a popular Philippines restaurant. My friend highly recommended it to me, I came several times,…read morebut unfortunately it closes on Mondays and Tuesdays. So I came on weekend as soon as it opened. There were only a few tables for diners. There were shelves of food and goods available to buy. Being a first timer, I had trouble to order the blackboard menu was on top of the counter, but I don't think everything was on the menu. I saw people carrying milkshakes but I couldn't find any on the menu. I ordered staff favorites Lechon kawali bowl. It came with garlic rice, sweet longanisa, a fried egg, and the signature Crispy port belly. It was good, but the garlic rice needed more flavor, because only a little sweet longanisa was added, I had to ask for extra sauce to finish the meal. Although friends vouched for the delicious food, but I found pork belly was just ok. And overall needs a bit more flavor. I also had Une custard cake which was too sweet for me. I would definitely come back to try more dishes!

I really enjoyed the lechon, which was extremely tender while maintaining a hard shell. I did not prefer the tapsilog which was a bit tough, but loved the tocilog. The highlight for me was the fried chicken, which is shockingly delicious. Flavorful, crispy, and juicy. Highly recommend a try. Best filipino restaurant we've tried in MoCo.

Filo Cafe is pretty small and they were having a pop up during my visit, which made it even more congested. At first I wasn't sure there'd be a table for me to eat at, but one opened up as soon as I was about to leave. I ordered the Bangusilog, which is fried milkfish (my first time trying this) and vegetable lumpia. The fish comes with garlic rice and a fried egg. The fish was perfectly fried and super flavorful. I enjoyed the crispy skin. The rice was also good and tasted fresh. The portion wasn't the biggest, but for the price it wasn't bad. In my opinion the lumpia was okay, but I appreciate them for having a vegetarian option! I will definitely be returning.

I loved the spice on the crab fat lechon- wish the portion was a tad bigger tho! The fried rice, pancit, sisig, short rib, ube pancakes, and garlic rice were also fabulous. But the star for me was the fried adobo chicken. It was flavorful, crispy, and paired perfectly with the pickled veg. The pineapple ube tres leche ended the meal on a sweet note. My mistake not realizing it didn't come à la mode only downside was that the AC wasn't running well in the downstairs seating so it was quite warm. But overall, a great place to have a great meal!

Ube cinnamon toast: couldn't taste much ube but toast was good Ube waffle & fried chicken (+ube ice cream) - unique combo & chicken was crispy! Would dine here again whenever i return to DC.

I have to admit that I stopped by Jollibee because I knew that my go-to fried chicken spot was…read moregoing to be super busy due to a holiday weekend. The self-serve kiosks made ordering a breeze. Overall, I thought the prices were fine. For my order I went with the family deal A (I'm not sure what it was actually called) which included six pieces of chicken with two sides for about $21. Although I thought the chicken was pretty good, I was expecting to be blown away based on reviews that I've seen regarding the Jollibee brand. While the breading did not have much seasoning (for my personal tastes), I thought the chicken excelled in its 'juiciness'. From my experience, it's very arre for friend chicken restaurants to have falling off the bone fried chicken. YUM Customer service was pretty direct in that I did not really have a significant interaction with the staff. I placed my order through the kiosk and waited about 10 minutes for my order number to be called. Although I ordered my food to go, I thought the restaurant was very clean and well-maintained with plenty of seating. Since the restaurant is located near the Westfield Mall, there was plenty of parking, which is rare in this area. While I would not go out of my way to grab fried chicken from here, it is decent option for quickly picking up something on my way home.

6/26/26: This visit was pretty average overall. The food was exactly what I'd expect from Jollibee,…read moreconsistent with other locations I've been to. If you're a fan of their menu, you'll likely enjoy it just as much here. I also tried the Ube Pie, which had a crispy exterior and a sweet, creamy filling that made for a nice dessert. The biggest downside was the cleanliness. The dining area could have been better maintained, and the bathrooms in particular were noticeably dirty. It took away from the overall experience and made the restaurant feel less inviting. The food delivered the familiar Jollibee experience, but the condition of the restaurant kept this visit from being anything more than average. I'd come back for the food, but I hope they put more attention into keeping the restaurant and restrooms clean.

So delicious that all the guest was asking where we ordered it. I'm giving credit to all the people who recommended Rose when I asked the Filipino Group chat where to order Lechon. Now I fully understand why. 5StarFromScratch put not just good spices on their lechon but also their love of cooking to make sure that their customer will be satisfied .
