Service is fast and friendly. This place is quality over quantity, sooo do not expect family portions lol. Great filipino food in dowmtown LA, it gets busy quick. This place is clean. The one thing I wish they did was add more meat to kare kare. It was not oxtail just a few pieces of meat, other than that good food! read more

Ordered kakanin from this place and they sold me kutsinta and puto in a sheet tray. Like it's a cake. Never in my years of being a Filipino person born and raised in the Philippines have I seen this made by any restaurant/catering business. When I asked to exchange for the round kind, they said no and that I, as a new customer, should have known that this is how they make their kakanin. My mistake, apart from ordering from them, is not knowing that when they said "tray" they meant they meant it literally and that instead of round kutsinta and puto ON a tray they meant it will be in tray from. How tf was I suppose to know that?! I will not be bringing this orange abomination--why it's orange, I have no idea--to our Thanksgiving party. And never again will I go to this place for food. read more

Neri's - Orange kutsinta in the shape of a tray. Don't recommend. - Filipino Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Just terrible. Oily soup was not satisfied. Will not recommend this place find another if you can.

I hate to leave bad reviews so thank goodness I don't have too. I order off door dash almost everyday. This one of the few times the food was well prepared and tasty. My mom is Filipino so I know home style cooked food. Everything was good no complaints only praise pork spare rib soup as on point will be ordering again read more

Fabulous Filipino Food! Folks, what took me so long? Neri's has (hands down) some of the most flavorful dishes I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying! Really, every dish was done perfectly & the customer service was above & beyond. The server taking my order helped talk me through my choices & was patient and helpful w/ suggestions. I loved this food - driving back from Orange County to indulge again! read more

Yummy yummy delicious! The egg rolls lumpia was my fave. Perfect crisp texture. I actually used the salad from my bbq on stick plate and wrapped it then dipped it in the sauce. It was bomb.com. read more

I was excited to find this Neri's had their own restaurant. I remember them in their lunch truck serving their Tocino Burgers and lechon, & lumpia. I was a regular at their lunch truck when they used to park at 3600 Wilshire. Fast forward many years later, I found them on Yelp and had to go. I ordered their Lechon and lumpiang Shanghai. Would've ordered their tocino burger too but it was sold out, as this is their popular dish on the menu, and really, really delicious (at least back then). I was disappointed though. The lechon was not crispy and there's nothing worst than soggy fatty pork belly. I couldn't even finish it. $10.95 and there's more rice than lechon and came with a side salad. The lumpiang shanghai was $6.95, for a small portion. Tiny eggrolls and barely any filling, more wrapper than meat. Crispy though! I would come back here again to buy their tocino burgers! I'm hoping the quality and taste hasn't changed... The staff is super friendly though! read more

OMG YES! All of their food is really really REALLY GOOD! Coming from a Filipino here & born and raised in the Philippines....I recommend this restaurant 100%!! I've tried many other Filipino restaurants and this by far is the BEST Filipino restaurant in California!! I've been here a couple times when I'm in L.A or getting stuff done at the Philippine Consulate which is literally right next this restaurant. I've been coming a couple times as well cause I just can't miss it! I've tried a lot from their menu and every single food I try here is PERFECT. Perfect amount/portion and price is very affordable. I don't even know where to start, but the best Filipino restaurant in the state of California. It's a hidden gem and hiding in the corner but has the BEST FOOD EVER. I wish I can eat here everyday! Also please do NOT miss her sisig, lechon kawali and diniguan, they're soooo good!! Undeniable. If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Highly recommend!! read more

I've actually never dined inside but ordered some party trays for a party and I'm a fan!!! The pancit and lumpia are on point, the pancit was light but well seasoned and and has enough veggies and meat. The lumpia was so crispy and flavorful i could not eating it as soon as we got to the party! I'm so happy to have found this - k now have a go to place for some good Filipino food. read more

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE! & TERRIBLE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE! I'm Filipino, and I ordered a platter of vegetable lumpia from them for a holiday party, and there was meat in there! None of the vegetarians could eat, including myself. I was so upset at the party because I was looking forward to it. So I called this morning to reconcile it and they told me I was wrong, and they would not give me a refund. I didn't need the money back, what I needed was an apology and for them to reconcile the situation, but yet they were so rude to me. I would never support there business again. This was a terrible experience, after I've bought food from them in the past. read more

More of a miss than a hit. Super inconsistent. I wanted to support because its very close to me but here is my honest review: The service is great. Staff is friendly. Unfortunately the food quality isn't great. I just ordered diniguang and Laing with lechón. The diniguan is mostly soupy broth and less than half was even meat. The Laing with lechón barely had lechón. Both dishes came with old dry rice. The laziness of it just out me off for the last time. I've also ordered the sinigang before and again that was mostly broth. Definitely try another place before you come to this one. read more

Have ordered take out here a couple of times and I think the food is on the better side of average for Filipino food. The lumpia was delicious but the crispy pata was just okay. The tocino is also just okay. Will try their Adobo at some point. Also be warned that prices are a little on the high side when compared to Carson/Panorama City/Cerritos. Giving them a 3.5 overall but rounding to 4 because I would like to see more Filipino family owned restaurants survive in this area. read more

I was especially excited to try Neri's on the recommendation from my mom who first had it when they were still a food truck serving outside of the Philippine Consulate. Anyways now they are a hop, skip and a jump away across the street in a restaurant location. They are in a plaza located with garage parking. Don't forget to stamp/validate your receipt. Walking in, the ambiance seems really nice. The menu is displayed along the wall with many choices. I ended up ordering BBQ with rice which came with 2 BBQ sticks, rice, and a side salad. It was good and filling. My brother ordered the sisig, which came out cold! It was a shock because usually that dish comes out sizzling hot. We sent it back and asked for them to reheat it. It came out warmer but still surprised it was cold. My sister ordered the crispy pata and lumpia rolls, which were good and my mom got the turon for dessert which cane with 3 pieces. We also ordered 3 cantaloupe juices, which did not look like the traditional melon, but still tasted as good. Overall the food was ok, but I've definitely had some better filipino fast food. read more

Currently I am doing a tour of Filipino food places in Los Angeles to try and meet local Filipino small businesses to try and get to know more about the community here in LA and my first stop was here at Neri's after being recommended by a friend! Was a really good experience as soon as we walked in we were catered to by the owner who was really nice and spoke to us. We tried the crispy pata, the kare kare, the crispy dinuguan, and the lumpia shanghai. All really great and had such great flavors that was perfect for a family style dinner. My only criticism was the crispy pata seemed to be a bit more dry and was hard to cut into, but the inside was soooo good and flavorful when paired with the vinegar. Really recommend this location for any locals who are looking to get a bite of the Philippines! read more

Been ordering here via Postmates and Grubhub. My first order was Kare-Kare (a Filipino stew with thick, savory peanut sauce). There was a hint of sweetness but it was certainly delicious. There were no oxtails as I would have preferred, only some type of other beef meat. But they were tender. After that, I've been ordering the Lechon Kawali (crispy pork belly deep-fried in a pan or wok). The first order was Wow! Delicious . . . crunchy skin, moist meat. My following orders were not a real wow unlike the first but still delicious. The Lechon Kawali came with some Atchara (pickles made from grated unripe papaya). That was a big plus. With other eateries, I don't recall them serving atchara. A caveat though, the lechon kawali also comes with a side salad. I recommend you skip it. Both the Kare-Kare and the Lechon Kawali came with steamed white rice. Service is good. A couple of times, I called this eatery for a question and to make a special request. The staff who answered was courteous and informative. Also, the deliveries of the orders have been prompt. Will continue to make this restaurant as one of my regulars. Will probably visit here one weekend especially since, from the pictures, the place looks nice and clean.

Neri's - Tocilog Breakfast Plate, Sinigang Spareribs, Lechon Kawali, Daingsilog. All were - Filipino Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I have never been to the actual location of this business. However, I was working at the PASA Friendship Games at Cal State Fullerton and Neri's had a booth there. The food was a little pricey for a small bowl. However, given the circumstances, understandable. I ordered the chicken adobo. The chicken was well cooked and seasoned. Quite tasty. . The vegetables were cooked just right, not too chewy, not too soggy. The people were friendly and the service was speedy. I may never get to the brick and mortar location in LA. It's about 40 miles from where I live in Orange County. But I wanted to leave this review to say thank you for being there and serving such tasty food. read more

We were excited to order from here on Uber Eats. Unfortunately the restaurant took almost 1 1/2 hours to give the food to the driver only for the driver to cancel our order 4 blocks away from our home. I don't like leaving negative reviews but now we have to get food somewhere else after waiting 2 hours for delivery. Expect major delays when ordering from here. read more

Our friends recommended this spot for Filipino food and being that one of them is Filipino, figure we would be in good hands. I will be honest, i havent really eaten a lot of Filipino food outside of our friend's home so I wouldnt be too sure what to order if it wasnt for him other than lumpia and lechon. Our friend ordered us the following: crispy pata, lechon kawali, lumpia Shanghai, pancit bihon, longanisa longsilog. This was more than enough flavorful and delicious food to share between two very hungry couples. The staff seems very friendly that i am sure if i was to go here on my own and not know what some items are, they would be more than happy to explain what things are to me. The lumpia was soooo good! Crispy and delicious. The lechon with their rice was amazing! I seriously would love to come back. read more

The food wasn't good at all. We ordered lumpia, chicken empanadas, sinigang pork spare ribs, and lechon kawali. The sinigang was not much vegetables and meat and the lumpia was so small. My husband is craving Filipino food and we saw this place on Yelp with 4 stars. So we decided to try it out. We are disappointed and not pleased with the taste of this food. We didn't even finish all. It's a waste of food. Never again. read more

Ordered (for online delivery) the Crispy Pata with some garlic rice and and some Cantaloupe (melon) juice and boy was it satisfying! The crispy pata was true to its name, it was crispy and tender once you bit into it. The melon juice was just the right amount of sweetness. Even though they don't have a large selection of items, they really did an amazing job with the quality of food they do serve. It really is quality over quantity at Neri's. Their website was easy to use, and my transaction with them was pretty smooth. I can say I'm bound to be back for more. read more

It tasted like instant mamasita mix. Pancit palabok lacked the authentic 'palto' or sauce. The lumpiang shanghai was tinee winee. I believe that these are overpriced. The place is nice but they have to improve the filipino-based tastes. They should compare amercan ranch, rachels, greenhills, herbies, nova, tony's read more

Was in LA on a one-day trip visiting a consulate general nearby and was starving before heading back to the airport. They do serve an all-day breakfast - one of my favorite things in the world. I came for an early lunch and there was a big table of women who apparently are regulars there and two other customers. The tables were quite close to each other and the woman sitting next to my table was on a Facetime video call the entire time which I found obnoxious but it's not the restaurant's fault and I just tried my best to ignore. There was a steady flow of both walk-in customers and takeouts. The older man behind the register, who I assume is the owner of the restaurant, was very nice and friendly. The menu was the display behind the counter with not much explanation and most of them don't have pictures so he had to describe most of the items to anyone wanting to place an order and not familiar with Filipino cuisine. Which usually either he or the customer themselves resort to food with picture just to be on a safe side. I decided on their freshly squeezed calamansi juice and Tapa plate, which is supposed to be TENDER beef marinated in garlic, vinegar and soy. Except that it wasn't tender at all. It was chewy. Flavor-wise even though it was on the bland side but it was not that bad specially with the dipping sauces provided. One thing that I noted is that how fast my food and drink came to the table. Portion was a little small but quite filling, though if you are looking for a big lunch, I'd order some other things like a side dish. read more

Neri's - Teriyaki Chicken Plate - Filipino Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I ordered the Grilled fish. They have the option for Bass or Milk fish -- I went for the Bass. it was a simple fish fillet over rice with a side of salad. Simple but so delicious. I really enjoyed it. I typically don't like Filipino food....but now i have something I like from this restaurant that I can order when one of my friends crave Filipino food. I sincerely think it's a win win and definitely want to go back. The space was very casual, where you order and pay first. I do find the drinks they offer is a little pricey for what it is. --like canned sodas, or canned juices. it's like a $1 more than what I'm use to seeing. They have water, so I just got that. I'm recommending this place to my co workers as we work close to the area. It's definitely different compared to the typical Korean food in the area ---though, I was expecting kim chi to be served here (joking, they do not serve kim chi with your dish) read more

Neri's - Fish fillet, bass - Filipino Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Horrible experience with the restaurant. We ordered food via delivery during our stay in LA. My mom is from Pampanga and a family of cooks. We have high standards but are still open minded with Filipino food. The pancit palabok was good. That's were it ends. Ordered the chicken adoba and got pork asoba instead. Could not eat it. The Kare Kare was sour and had the worst meat possible; it tasted like it spoiled. That got thrown away. Had to be one of the most inedible meals ever. Hate that I have to write this review, but it was bad. This experience made me reluctant to trust reviews in the future. Horrible. read more

The serving is terrible ...feels like im back in Philippines ...Ordered kare kare ..there were 3 thin slices of meat crazy !

This family-owned business (relocated from historic Filipinotown) is my neighborhood go-to for Filipino grindz. Lechon Kawali is bomb! I grab it to-go and it's still crispy with the commute and so tasty! The gravy it comes with is drool-worthy too. The staff is always helpful, prompt, and friendly. Hope to try the halo-halo here soon! The offer 30 min free parking with validation. Driving in the neighborhood is a nightmare, but that's KTown for ya! read more

Me and my girl go around town looking for Filipino places to eat, so we compare them all. First off, this place deserves some respect because they've been in K Town since the 80's. But as far as the food, we weren't really thrilled. The Pancit was one we weren't crazy about. At all. It was pretty bland, but that can happen. The shanghai lumpia were super tasty, but they were all miniature sized? I'm not sure the reason behind this, I didn't mind it, but my Filipina girl did. Still, they were tasty. But authentic? I'd say it was all pretty authentic. All the way down to that banana sauce they served with it ::shudder:: If you don't know what it is, it's extra sweet ketchup. There, I just saved your tastebuds the trauma so I'll take my like. Thanks. read more

A really great find in LA my family and I got back to when we crave home food when we're here. we ordered tocilog (tocino with garlic rice, runny egg and tomatoes), sinigang ribs, cassava cake and a cantaloupe juice!

Neri's - Lechon kawali... deep fried crispy pork belly with rice, salad, brown gravy and pickled veggie ($8.95). Pretty good and filling - Filipino Near Me - Los Angeles, California

As someone from Southeast Asia, I have been craving food from the area since moving to LA. Neri's came highly recommended from a Filipino Uber driver I once rode with, so I decided to check it out since it wasn't too far from me. I ordered the Lechon Kawali and the Calamansi and really enjoyed it! It tastes just like food from home and I almost cried because I was feeling homesick and this was just what I needed. The staff were also pretty helpful to my friends and I when we had questions about the food and what they contained, and we couldn't be happier with what we got from them. I can't wait to come back again! P/S: they don't charge any tip - you just pay for the food and the tax. read more

Ordered takeout from here. We ordered ahead. Parking isn't an issue as the have an underground lot where they will validate. The service was fine. Nice family operation. Very mom and pop feel. A few tables were waiting inside but not too busy. We got some lumpia and lechon kawali. We got home maybe 5 mins later but the lechon was already cold. The salad didn't have dressing. The pork lacked the signature crunch. Lumpia wasn't bad but there wasn't much filling. However you do get a decent quantity of lumpia. Overall, probably not a return for us but wish them well going forward. Again, nice family operation. I much prefer that to a corporate chain restaurant any day! read more
