The Longonisa burger and homemade chips is my favorite, and my kids love their tasty pansit. Everything tastes fresh and authentic.

I highly recommend this place for the value you get for the prices you pay.

My boyfriend tried Paraiso a month ago and hasn't stopped singing praises for how much food you get…read moreand how delicious everything is. 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.

Wait time was about 10-15 min. It was another busy Sunday morning. For 3 orders of breakfast it came up to about $78!! A pricey breakfast!!! Should've gone to Denny's....but we were craving rice and real food. Family friendly. Ample seating as long as people are courteous to leave as soon as they are done eating. This time it was quite smoky in there.

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

The food was delicious, comforting, and full of flavor--it really hit the spot. I opt for the Fried Chicken silog and my wife ordered the Lumpia Silog. What made the experience even more memorable was the hospitality. The owner was there, took the time to chat with guests, and was incredibly kind. As a nice surprise, he even treated us to complimentary turon, which was such a thoughtful gesture and a perfect way to end the meal. It's little moments like that that make a restaurant stand out. Great food, warm hospitality, and a welcoming atmosphere make Ludi's an easy recommendation for anyone visiting downtown Seattle. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town.

I will definitely be back to try the Kare Kare ASAP. But, the sisig was nice flavored and the perfect blend of crispy and moist, it was great. The garlic noodles were also bomb af, so addicting and the portion was actually quite large. The lumpia was also great, a lil overpriced imo, but was still very good. The sides for the dish plate were also good, I loved the salad dressing. My friend had the coconut ube latte and sad it was really great and the flavors were all well balanced. We also got the ube halo halo to share and I tore it UP!!! Soooooo bomb, I dream about it as ube has been my favorite since I was a kid and their leche flan was also great too!!! The staff was also very friendly :) definitely a good lunch spot for sure, nothing too fancy to get dressed up for, but your taste buds will thank you! Also, lots of parking in this shopping center :)

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.

Sinigang always hits the spot on a rainy day. The Bistek Tagalog is a good balance of savory and sour, and works well with the fried potato.

Don't listen to the haters, this place is legit. Some authentic northern Filipino cuisine that I've…read morebeen looking for since I moved to the PNW. I came in right at 11:30 to all the hot fresh food looking soooo good. I ordered the 2 meat plate with a side of pancit. I got the dinuguan and the pork sinigang. Dinuguan had nice chunks of pork meat in it, not just fat. Sinigang was nice and hot and sour. Pancit bihon was flavorful and the noodles were not dry. To the people complaining about the owner being rude, he's not. He kind of has a bit of a harder tone of voice (if you have a Filipino dad or Tito's you know what I mean) not uncommon for Northern Filipinos, but that doesn't mean they're mean! I asked the owner what part of the Philippines they're from and he said he was from Pangasinan, Northern Philippines and I told him my family is also from Northern Philippines. He was quite nice and asked me if I've been here before and I said it was my first time but that everything looked really good. He thanked me for coming in and was very hospitable in the "Tito-way" that I miss from my uncles. You can taste the love in the cooking!

Perfect timing if you want to beat the rush and take a look around before it fills up. The restaurant is located in Beacon Hill, right next to the Beacon Hill light rail station, which is super convenient if you're coming from downtown or the airport. No dedicated parking lot, so you're looking at street parking. The setup is counter service. You order and pay up front, then find a seat, and they bring the food out to you. It's a nice hybrid of quick-service convenience with the personal touch of table delivery. Just remember to bus your own table when you're done. They've also got a station set up for washing your hands and mixing your own dipping sauce, which I thought was a really thoughtful touch (if you grew up with Filipino food, you know). I went heavy on the sinamak (spiced vinegar). Seating is flexible. Counter seats if you're solo or just grabbing something quick, and regular tables that can accommodate four or more if you've got a bigger group. We ordered the bangus-silog, island combo, and cassava cake. Bangus-silog:Came with garlic rice, two eggs, and milkfish, and it hit exactly the way silog should. Yolks were slightly runny, rice had that good garlicky flavor, and the bangus was perfectly fried with head and tail. Island combo: Came with two lumpia, two inihaw ribs, pancit, white rice, two longanisa, and two butterfly shrimp. Great way to sample a bunch of things in one go if you can't decide. The lumpia was crispy and had a good amount of filling. The ribs were tender and had a nice char. The pancit had good noodle texture, and the longanisa had that slightly sweet, garlicky flavor you want. Nothing special about the butterfly shrimp. Also don't skip the baked goods section near the register. It's definitely worth a look on your way out. We tried a slice of cassava cake for dessert. Dense and not overly sweet. Good way to end the meal. Staff at the register were friendly and patient the whole time. They answered any questions about the menu. Overall, a solid and casual spot for Filipino comfort food. Will definitely be back. Kain tayo!

The saving grace was the green sauce from the self-serve bar, which was excellent! I enjoyed the calamansi drink as well, though as another reviewer noted, the sugar-sensitive should steer clear. The service was very nice as well and the location is tough to beat right next to the light rail.
