The pork barbecue i had was tough and chunky, They should have used pork belly instead. They need to hire a better cook !

This place is a cute spot. Average ambiance. The staff is always peeping from behind the little kitchen door and talking about the patrons. Misleading menu with average pictures. The quality of the food they are serving is below average. Certainly doesn't match the pics on the menu. Management is never present and it seems as if they struggle to receive constructive feedback from customers. My experience was horrible and the server made it clear "WHAT YOU ORDER IS WHAT YOU GET, IF YOU DO NOT LIKE IT , THATS A PERSONAL PROBLEM. WE DO NOT REFUND OR DO EXCHANGES FOR SOMETHING ELSE. ". Customer service is definitely not a priority for them. Don't be tricked by the ambiance, the customer service and dining experience will be a nightmare with no apologies from management. The servers are trained to come off confused when they are called out for unacceptable food. Great training to your staff , whoever management is , while you get rich in the background. NOT RECOMMENDED. There are other cute spots in KoreaTown that's way better and will provide a better dining experience and way better food . The competition is real . Why is ZERO stars not an option read more

I remember the first time I tried Neri's was when they had a food truck on Wilshire Blvd. I used to work in the business building and grabbed it for lunch a few times and thought the food was delicious. I was pleasantly surprised when I rediscovered Neri's as a restaurant when I moved to Koreatown. Can't go wrong with the tapa (tapsilog) which is a marinated beef in garlic and vinegar and the tocino (tocilog) which is a sweetened pork plate that comes with garlic rice and an over easy egg. Also, recommend the lumpia Shanghai. The food is packed with flavor. Definitely worth the try. Getting food to go is a breeze. There's a structure where they'll validate parking. read more

Nothing to rave about. Food was mediocre at best. Kare Kare was super salty and the Bilo Bilo had absolutely no Bilo Bilo. So disappointed.

Neri's is my go to spot for silogs or for a taste of home. Plenty to choose from on the menu like the classics: all sorts of silogs, kare kare, and crispy pata, etc. to new things like a tocino burger. In the past, I have ordered for a Kamaiyan, which was a hit for those who ate. They have great spreads to choose from. Street parking is a available but it is k-town so you may need to circle the block or two or just pay to park in their parking garage. read more

We ordered, sisig, laing, longganisa and spareribs sinigang. Favorite is the sinigang. Malasa. Sisig is more of lechon kawali sisig (no laman) but it is ok. Laing is underrated and good. It has lots of lechon kawali. Each dish includes a rice. I think the price is reasonable. Lots of customers. Service of food is also fast. The food might have been precooked but food is still great. It is near the Philippine Consulate in LA. read more

I really like the music and the ambience this restaurant has. No ego straight business. Even their restroom smells clean! read more

This restaurant never disappoints. The price is right and the service is kind. Everything is reasonably priced and delicious and housed in the heart of K Town where there is plentiful options this is one you should keep in mind. I've had their pancit before, but I've also really enjoyed their lumpia Shanghai. They are small but come in a 14 piece pack is not a fancy place but that's OK because the service makes up for it. read more

I ordered thru Door Dash and got my order in less than an hour. I would of gave this review 4/5 stars but I gets a 3 because of the amount and quality of the beef you get in the Kare Kare. The sauce itself is delicious, really good but the meat is weirdly sliced and it was tough. I wasn't expecting oxtail but I was expecting tender beef which it wasn't. Again, sauce is perfect! The palabok had amazing texture but at the same time I wasn't feeling all the flavors which I expected cause their was a lot of toppings on it. It was good, just not the best. The packaging of the food was very good and clean and probably the best I've seen from a Filipino restaurant. I would definitely eat here and try other dishes. read more

Cutty Filipino spot in the boiling crab plaza. Skip BC and come right to Neri's. I clap the Sisig every time I come here but I do get the Lechon Kawali here from time to time. Then I go home and watch Pacquio highlights for the rest of the day. Always get the garlic rice. Always. read more

Neri's is a casual spot to grab a bite. You've got to try the LECHON KAWALI & PANCIT BIHON for sure. Sadly, I went over the Memorial Day weekend, and they were slammed with catering, so I didn't get to taste the lumpias. Can't wait to go back again to try some of their other dishes. ENJOY! read more

There are many asian/filipino restaurants in LA the next time I am not in a hurry to eat I will skip this one. The food is nothing special and pricey for such a basic menu. The ambiance is cold with a typical "karinderia" vibe. But if you are hungry and no time to search for alternate place then I guess this one will do. read more

Excellent food excellent service... Fun place to go to in K-Town. We are definitely going back!!

Neri's has some of the best Filipino food I've tried! I had to go twice during my visit in the area. Their menu has all of the classic Filipino dishes, so this is the place to go if you're craving Filipino food or wanting to try it. Their Chicken Adobo is my favorite - it's so tender and savory, goes well with rice. Their food also comes in good portion sizes, so you won't leave hungry. Staff is very friendly and gets food out quick. Seating is readily available even though the venue isn't too large. They also do take out orders too! read more

Ordered to-go and as a Filipino, I was very pleased! I had the lumpia (egg rolls), pancit (thin noodles), bbq chicken (on a skewer), and the Turon for dessert (plantain with jackfruit and fried in a wrapping paper) MUST TRY! Great portions! I shared with my non Filipino friends and they loved it also. We will be coming back! read more

I can't recommend this place enough!!! Neris was the first Filipino restaurant I tried since moving to LA and still my favorite!! Not only is the service so kind, accommodating, and fast, but the food reminds me so much of home! The space is always clean and I've even seen karaoke nights being held at times! You really can't go wrong with any of their traditional Filipino meals, their bistek is one of the few that comes close to my mom's!! I also recommend their sinigang, tocino, and lumpia (all super affordable with great portions for the price!) I truly hope more people get to try this gem because they deserve all the business in the world! read more

Neri's - Sinigang Spareribs - Filipino Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place is close to my apartment and I was craving something outside of Korean food in ktown. So I decided to try this place with my friend. The lechon kawali was pretty good. The crispy skin on the outside was really good and the pork was really fatty. I definitely needed the salad to cut it a little and the rice also helped. However the pork is pretty bland so you will need to dip it in the sauce, but I enjoyed it by itself. I also really liked the BBQ pork my friend got. It was super flavorful and soft. With the rice it was great and all in all very filling! This place is a great for a quick meal which I enjoyed. read more

Devoured this meal in literally 5 minutes. I was in a time crunch for something so I ordered takeout from here. Tapsilog - 5/5, beef was perfect, egg was perfect, rice was perfect. The rice was tossed with some bits of fried garlic and that just made it heavenly. Holy shit my mouth is watering just thinking about the rice. I had this meal 2 weeks ago but I just had to come back to leave this review for my future self. read more

Love this place. First of all love the positive vibe the cashier gave and recommendations for food the next time I go. Don't make the same mistake I did and share the lumpia with your coworkers they will keep coming back for more. The lechon kawali with rice and egg were my highlights as well as the freshly made calamansi beverage. Parking is easy you can park underneath and get validated. read more

Neri's reminds me very much of a home cooked meal. Comfort Food 101. We ordered Lechon Kawali which is what they are best known for. Crispy Pata with a side of garlic rice. Fresh lumpia. Sago Gulaman Cooler. Without self control... You could really get carried away and order more! They cook the food as you order. Nothing precooked. Employees are very pleasant. A very good experience! I recommend! Check out my YT video https://youtube.com/shorts/KPkPhjylSE8?feature=share @socalweekendwalkarounds read more

Had the opportunity to visit this place about a month ago. We were fortunate to visit on an off day so there wasn't a huge crowd. Since where I normally reside doesn't have a Filipino restaurant nearby, the struggle is trying not to order everything on the menu. Our order included sisig, dinuguan and a side of lumpia. I went for the sago & gulaman for my drink. It definitely hit spot between the menu and the drink. This place is situated right across from the building where the Philippine Consulate is located so I would guess they are generally packed on weekdays. If I happened to be nearby I'd probably go back, but not necessarily my go-to place whenever I'm in the LA area. The amount of food is worth what you pay. If there was one like this in our area I'd frequent it. They do offer catering and Kamayan options for anyone interested. They do list daily specials, which one was already sold out by the time we arrived. It was somewhat late in the day so it would be questionable if they weren't already sold out by then. Can't recall if I asked about a military discount. Overall a pleasant experience and atmosphere. read more

SUUUUCH GOOD FILIPINO FOOD!!! My filipino friend took me here saying the food was dank, and I'm SO glad I decided to go along with her!

It is hard to find a good filipino restaurant that isn't just always point-point. I have ordered take out/delivery from Neri's several times and it never disappoints. My favs are the lechon kawali - thick crispy pieces, pancit bihon - so flavorful with the fish sauce and calimansi, and the sinigang - clean and sour broth. Consistently cooked the same and delicious. Recently I just ordered catering of 1 medium tray lumpia shanghai, 1 medium pancit bihon, 1 medium pork bbq. Food was ready at pickup time and was a party hit to non-Filipinos. Definitely my go to Filipino spot now! Caveat, I have never eaten inside yet so I can't comment on ambiance or in-dining service. read more

Neri's - crunchiest and freshest pork belly - Filipino Near Me - Los Angeles, California

On a recent stay-cation day/trip to DTLA with my mom; I found on my Yelp app; Neri's. The name sounded really familiar and when I mentioned it to my mom; it turns out it's because we use to visit the old Neri's in LA back in the day when I was younger. This now is a new location in Koreatown. We were intrigued as well as were in the mood for some good Filipino food and decided to visit. Unlike their old location, this Neri's is not turo-turo. It is also not family style but instead their menu is catered to individual plates. They do however have some appetizers one can share like lumpia, okoy and empanada. They have breakfast all day, various bbq plates as well as lots of Filipino entree favorites such as kare kare, bistek tagalog and dinuguaan. Plates average about $9. Since we were there right at opening (10am); my mom and I opted for their Filipino breakfast. I got their tapa while my my mom got their boneless bangus. This came with one egg and lots of garlic rice. I thought the tapa was good in flavor. The meat was on the tough side and could have been a bit more tender but overall was tasty. It also came with a small side of atchara (pickled papaya) and this went well with the garlic rice. While we were there; the owner was really friendly. He told us the sad story of what happened their old location (the owner of the building didn't give them notice and evicted them in order to open up a Starbucks :(. They had been loyal clients there for over 30 years). Nevertheless getting this new location seems to be a blessing in disguise as it is near the Philippine consulate and other offices. It also gave them a chance to revamp their menu. They not only offer classic Filipino dishes but curbside craving sandwiches such as a tocino burger and tapa burger. Similar to their story of change of location being a blessing in disguise; it also seemed to be a blessing in disguise for me to find this place on Yelp. We were originally going to go somewhere else for lunch but I am glad we visited this place for some good Filipino fare. If ever I'm back in the area; I would like to try their other dishes such as the sisig or palabok. read more

Good food, friendly. Will try other foods. New location is more modern. Competitive prices

The person who was on the counter was extremely rude and was rushing to close the transaction. We received garlic shrimp which still had the shell on, spring rolls were very oily and Adobo lacked salt in it. We were the only customers in the restaurant and the owners were eating at the same time. I would not recommend this place. read more

Went here to satisfy my Filipino food cravings! Workers were nice. The food was good, but nothing too special. We ordered the Lumpia Shanghai, Pancit Canton, and Kare Kare. My favorite would have been the Kare Kare and Halo Halo. The lumpia was small (?) and much of it was wrapper, with little filling. The panic was good, but a little salty for my liking. Now, the Halo Halo was so delicious. Perfectly sweet and refreshing. read more

It's okay, nothing bad, but also not great. The food was pretty bland, not much flavor. Pancit bihon was cooked well and not dry, but also no flavor and only a little lemon piece instead of calamansi. Sisig was disappointing and not vinegary enough, as was the halo halo, just kinda weak. Maybe growing up around Philippinos and visiting Manila last year skewed my tastes - this place is just okay. read more

The food is good and there is enough parking. We reach the restaurant in 20 minutes. It was past 1pm already. The dinuguan is good. I was not impressed with the sisig on how it was cooked and tasted. The pancit bihon is okay. The lumpia shanghai was okay not the best one. We also ordered the halo-halo. It was okay. I like the ambiance and the space inside is good. They serve quickly. Overall, the place is good for casual eating and takeout. read more

It's my first time coming here with my family. We ordered sisig, palabok, and some breakfast plates. I literally got disappointed with their sisig . It was so sour to the point that it is too acidic for me. It's literally tastes like vinegar, I also don like how they serve it on top of rice if that's how it is set-up. I should have first to separate it as I did not finish food. Their Palabok is too bland. But, their tocino is okay. They also have longganisa which is part of our order, but it doesn't have anything special. It's kinda similar to the one sold in Seafood City. The service is superb, employees are very helpful and accommodating. The location is great too. It definitely can serve large group plus they have parking available so it is very convenient around Korea Town. read more
