    Lumpia
    Brian R.

    This place will 1000% catch you by surprise! I love Filipino food and Lumpia is an anchor to that. We ordered ahead for the proven take with rolls. Super exciting to know we have them at home whenever we're ready for them! We also got fresh ones to go home with. The flavor was great, and the wraps were light and flakey. We signed up for a rewards card because we were won over by the product and the staff. As I said this building is nothing to look at, and they're only open two days a week, but I can't argue that what they produce is hard to beat! The very definition of not judging a book by its cover.

    We found this place from TikTok.  We were visiting Tacoma for the weekend and figured it was worth checking out.  It's a small place that can be easily missed     When we arrived, we learned this place was drive-thru only.   Not only that, not all items on the menu are available.  On Tuesdays, they post on their website what they will have for sale for the week.  At that point, you can pre-order and schedule to pick up on Friday or Saturday.  Of course, we didn't know this, but at least we had a small variety of 4 to choose from.      I ordered them to cook the lumpias and waited about 15 minutes.  I walked to the drive-thru window.  While waiting, we could see regulars going through drive-thru.  Other first timers had placed their order online, and it was their first time going there.  Like us, they parked and walked to the front asking where to go to pick up.      I talked to the owner for a little bit, and he told me that they opened in 2011.  They became a drive thru during covid and kept it that way since.       I ordered: 1.  Angel's original:  I thought this was a weird mix than I'm traditionally used to.   It tastes pretty good.   It's a twist on the  vegetable lumpia I'm used to.  I liked that it was meaty. 2.  Taco mix:   I'm not going to lie. This one kind of scared me too, lol.   The owner told me it was like a taco just wrapped up.  When I took a bite, it reminded me of the frozen red bean burrito I used to buy as a kid.   I didn't see the refried beans, but I did see the meat with each bite.            The items we tried were a hit.  Now I know next time to pre-order.  I got lucky we arrived a day early.  We were able to come on Friday, and they had items still available.   I looked on the website today, and they only had teriyaki (ground chicken).  Which is funny because they didn't have that yesterday.  In any case, that's the only one to choose from today.  So if you decide to go here, please pre-order.  You'll thank me later

    Northwest Lumpia is a little spot amongst older industrial buildings and warehouses. I always pass by but it's always closed due to the short hours Friday/saturday 11-2. Today was my lucky day and saw an open sign! Usually I make lumpia at home for my family to enjoy, but I wanted to try this place out and support a local business~ The owner at the window was friendly and informative. I decided to order the original pack and fry at home. You have the choice to order hot and fresh there but will have to wait about 15min, order a frozen pack and zoom on home to fry it up! It was $14 and some change for the pack and I was eager to try!! When you've had lumpia all your life there's just something about it being home made that is comforting and the taste is always good! Today's taste left me a little mixed honestly. While the owner is so nice, the lumpia was not very good. If you've never had lumpia, there's nothing to compare it to and you may like this indeed. The original lumpia tasted somewhat sour and bitter? There is little chunks of carrot, peas, beef and what looks to be like shredded hashbrown potatoes that were a bit crunchy/undercooked. There's a sour taste to it but not vinegary, sour as in spoiled taste. The sauces were mmm not so good. One is a vinegary sauce and the other a sweet sauce almost similar to teriyaki...but they both had an underlining same flavor. Couldn't quite put my finger on it but it left a not so good taste in my mouth. I'm glad I got to try though~ salamat!

    The combos!

    Wow we have driven by several times and they were closed. Today is the day. We told the girl that this is our first time. So she explains everything in like speed talking.... lol. I just had to have her slow down lol!!! So we both had the number one (10 lumpias different flavors). Omg they are perfection in The crispiest wrap!! This is only open 11-2 Monday-fri! So try to catch them open if u love Phillipino food! Family owned for years. U can buy them frozen to go too. We are coming back for sure. Ya ya getting our stars built up! We came in right before 2 closing time and we weren't the only ones !! Everyone getting food togo! Yum love this place. And by the time we got home it was just edible!! It cooled off!!

    Found this place at the last minute! Needed to bring a dish to a holiday party and what better Filipino food dish to bring than lumpia? Upon arrival, it seemed like the most random spot to have a food venue in its location. There's no other restaurants in the area and it's mostly industrial buildings. We opted for the cooked lumpia which was a dozen per pack. We bought two packs; one beef and one pork flavor. Both came with a dipping sauce and we were very impressed. Very tasteful, cooked just right, and the sauce was a great complement to the lumpia. The gentleman at the drive through window was very nice and welcoming. We will be sure to stop by again when we're feeling that lumpia craving. Like

    First time here. Heard about them in the news and online. Sketchy area but the owner was very welcoming and informative. Order ahead of you can to save time. Adobo lumpia was sooooo good! Would have ordered more if they were open later or open on Sundays. Will def be back!

    All the lumpia...

    Thank you Yelpers for leading me to this wonderful place and these lovely people. We were on our way from the airport to Portland and found this place in Tacoma on our way through. We were looking for something good (of course), but different and new. This checked all of the boxes and then some! The food is great, but Chuck and Becca are fantastic. They are a husband and wife duo, who choose to do this as their retirement (lucky for all of us)! Chuck is a retired veteran and Becca a former nurse. Together, they will brighten your day and fill your tummy. It rounds out the whole experience. It is a cozy place with only a few tables. Lumpia are super portable though, and they package them so you can move and share (or not). There were quite a few faithful fans picking some up for lunch. While we sat there and ate, a young woman came in with her parents. She was happy to announce that although she was getting a refer a friend star for their rewards program, she was the one doing her parents a favor by introducing them to this wonderful place. I had never had lumpia before, so this was a first. The owner described it best. They are the Filipino version of the egg roll. They make them fresh and they love to experiment with the filling that goes inside. They come out tantalizingly crispy and hot. Despite the fact you know it is a bad idea, your mouth overrules you and takes a bite despite risking molten mouth (totally worth it). If you are with others, I highly suggest getting a combo 1 so you can try a variety of flavors. They are delicious!! I also recommend getting the banana for dessert. The food comes out pretty fast too, so I can see why it is also ideal for lunch breaks. They also sell frozen lumpia to take home! If they ever decide to start shipping, I will be the first in line! :)

    What a hidden gem! This small mom and pop shop specializes in fusion lumpia. You can get a dozen for $10 and they have awesome flavors like adobo mix, sweet and sour and even brown sugared banana. There are two combos (12 for $10 or $4.50 for lumpias and a drink). You can also buy the lumpia individually for $1 + tax. You can take it to go or eat it in their shop. It's a pretty no frills experience. The staff is super nice, but the only downside is that they're only open from 11-2pm M-F! Wish they were open on the weekends too. Lastly, they also sell frozen lumpia for the dozens for $10 a pop. Get your lumpia fix here!

    Their lumpia is the best, especially the bananas! I would highly recommend them but make sure you preorder.

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.

I'm so glad I went with 2 not 3 because these things are HUGE! As big as my head/profile. I really enjoyed eating them. So crunchy and just something new for me. They did taste like lumpia for me - not Shanghai but the actual eggroll kind. The ends of the empanadas were the best part in My opinion. OMG' I can eat that part all day lol. Also, I was so surprised (spoiler alert) about the fried egg inside. It made the empanada like a breakfast burrito! Lol so good The actual restaurant is in a strip mall type area with other cultural restaurants, and loved the Filipino displays and decorations. Love that. And the owner told me he was from Ilocos where they learned how to cook these. They had the hot Buffett with the traditional foods, and I liked that they had goat papaitan. I was tempted to buy but didn't. I did end up with cassava cake. Oh, that brings back good old memories of my mom making this! Thank you HERITAGE! Love the name too!!!

And don't skip the individually wrapped Peach Mango Pie--it's crispy, sweet, and the perfect way to end the meal. This Jollibee is located inside Tacoma Mall, kitty-corner from Nordstrom Rack, with plenty of convenient parking. It can get very busy, so expect about a 10-15 minute wait to place your order and another 10-15 minutes for your food during peak times. The place was clean and organized. The cashier who took our order was polite, patient, and friendly despite the busy dinner rush, making the ordering experience pleasant.

The standout was the adobo rice: flavorful, well-seasoned, and genuinely the star of the meal. The chicken strips were solid--crispy and tasty in the same way good fried chicken is from most places. The special sauce was a real win, too: an almost umami Sriracha mayo that elevated everything. I also received a peach mango pie that looked a lot like those McDonald's handheld pies, though I didn't try it this time. One small off note: while I was there, a child from the group ordering behind me climbed onto the ordering/pickup counter with dirty shoes and all. Neither the parent nor the employee seemed bothered by it, but it's the surface where food is handed over, so it felt a bit off-putting. Overall, though, the food and service made for a positive visit. The adobo rice alone is enough to bring me back.
