Finally checked out West Hill Deli! Absolutely loved their food and ambiance…read more For food, we got the adobo pork belly (comes with macaroni salad, rice, and vegetables on the side) and the pandan fried chicken (comes with rice and veggies on the side). Pandan was super crispy and rice was soft, not mushy. Adobo was rich in garlic and in smoky and sweet flavor. Love they kept the fat on some adobo pieces. Each dish was just enough for us to finish for breakfast. For drinks, we ordered the calamansi juice and calamansi iced tea. Both taste great. Side notes: You order up front, bring your table number, and sit wherever you like. They will bring you your food. Once youre done, please put your food away in the back, which is located on the left hand side of the deli if youre facing the deli at the entryway. It was busy on a Sunday around noon. A few were available but was filled quickly after about half an hour of us arriving. People tend to spend time here. About an hour if youre just there to have a quick meal, but families were gathering and spending time with no rush which i loved. No waitress or waiter to check on you, just only to bring you your food which took a reasonable 2 minutes for drinks and about 10 - 15 for food. Overall, we definitely recommend!

I also tried the garlic fried rice with longanisa and eggs, which was really good too. The longanisa had that nice sweet-savory balance, and the garlic rice was fragrant and comforting, though I'd still pick the sisig if I had to choose between the two. The ube pancakes were delicious soft, slightly sweet, and definitely a fun treat. Fair warning though, they will leave your teeth a little purple for a bit but honestly worth it. I also got the ube coffee and... YUM. Such a good combo with the pancakes. Overall, everything was solid and full of flavor. I'd definitely come back, especially for that pork sisig. Tita is definitely cooking in the back you can taste it.

Crispy, sweet, and the perfect way to end the meal. The service was incredible--truly can't beat Filipino hospitality. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. There's also a store connected to the restaurant, which was super convenient. Such a welcoming place with great food and even better service. Definitely coming back!

As a Filipino who has family that makes restaurant quality food, he is picky with his food but he said the flavors here are pretty close to how his family cooks it. I am always on the hunt for good kare kare and I saw they serve it so I was already super excited to go. We arrived around 1ish pm and we were able to find parking and enter inside where we saw three tables occupied with happy customers enjoying their meals. They have small tables and large tables, but definitely plan ahead as most of these tables seat 2-4 people. They have a section at the left end of the order area where you drop off dirty dishes in bins as well as a condiments section. They were playing some American pop songs that were remixed but it fit the vibe of the place. Additionally, they do have a grocery side which I definitely want to check out next time I'm there. We were greeted warmly by the owner who was cheerful and patient with us. My boyfriend got their longganisa and lumpia and he was asked if he wanted adobo sauce on his rice which I thought was neat! Now, here is where my complaints from as I was not offered the same treatment on my rice, told that they aren't serving kare kare, they don't have labels for the food at front, and some of the food was cold. I got the pork sinigang and dinakdakan which was pretty good and flavorful. They do have pastries, desserts and other offerings as well. It seemed like there are many regulars who come often as the owner would recognize and have friendly conversations with them. He also bid us farewell when we left while he was taking a quick lunch break, and I thought that was really sweet.

The hack: if you eat in, white rice is complementary as is broth (Nilaga or Sinigang) To me the Porcheta was awesome and my wife loved the Pinakbit). Those are 5 stars. The chicken Adobo was solid - I give that 4 stars. Loved the music in the store and I plan to come back at least once a month - pay homage to the motherland at 1 lb a month. So good - masarap

I'm back here again - trying a refreshing drink called Halo Halo, meaning "mix mix" in Filipino…read more It is so delicious. It comes with fruit layered in the bottom with ice cream on top and Ube ice cream as well as some flan pieces and it is so delicious... I know I said that, but it's so nice. I had to say it twice. This is a really unique thing that would be most comparable to a milkshake for a lot of people You can eat any way you like, but I'm told that people commonly mix it up although you can eat the layers individually of course if you choose It has several chunks of banana jackfruit, even some sweet potato, which may not be something you associate with this type of drink/dish normally but it really works here. This is something that is very unique and certainly should be tried - you are gonna love it

We were in town for the weekend so we decided to get some brunch at Enseamada Cafe. I was very…read moreinterested to try Filipino Hawaiian fusion food since I love both cuisines. This place is located in a plaza of other restaurants and businesses. Parking was plentiful outside. There were many tables to choose from inside, and it wasn't busy at all when we arrived. We ended up ordering both Inihaw Plates, one with Beef BBQ Ribs and the other one with Chicken BBQ. The plates came with our meat of choice, mac salad, a little salad, and two scoops of rice. I wasn't expecting much but I was wowed when they brought our food out. Presentation was gorgeous. Our ribs and chicken looked pretty good, saucy and plentiful altogether as an entree. When I had that first bite of the Beef BBQ Rib, I was floored. I'm pretty sure I took one bite and was just speechless, I'm not trying to exaggerate. The beef ribs were flavorful, juicy, tender, and fell right off the bone. I couldn't ask for anything more. The mac salad was good, it didn't taste like the mayo was too heavy for me. It tasted nice and light. And I had a couple bites of the Chicken BBQ, it was just as delicious as the beef ribs. Also the portion size was amazing. I think I'm a little partial, but the Beef BBQ Ribs definitely altered my brain chemistry. They were that delicious and I'll be thinking about these ribs for a long time. It felt like I was back home at a Filipino barbecue or I was in Hawaii eating at an uncle's backyard. It truly felt like the meat was grilling out in the back and we ate it fresh out the grill. It was absolutely wonderful and I'll be raving about this place to people for a while. Y'all deserve all the stars and love. And the music playing? Loved it, they were already on my island music playlist lol. We had an unforgettable experience. This place is a must try if you're in the area and even if you're not in the area as well. It's just that good.

I would rate this higher than The Heritage in Federal Way as at least their food is hot when you receive it. My boyfriend and I frequent the The Outlet Collection so he always pondered if this was a good spot as we usually don't eat in the mall since there aren't too many options. They do have a pretty solid deal for cheap that comes with pancit and lumpia, but my boyfriend added a longanisa too. He says that it is good mall food but not authentic Filipino food, as he comes from a family who has quite the cooking background. However, he says he wouldn't mind eating here every once in a way as long as they have the deals. Service was friendly as my boyfriend spoke with one of the lady employees in Tagalog and she seemed to be polite and pleasant.
