Was trying to find a Filipino BBQ spot in the Bay Area and ended up settling on this one. Small place where food is mainly for takeaway. Several people in line when I visited during Sunday lunchtime (enough time in line to view the Manny Pacquiao memorabilia wall here in all its glory lol). Although the BBQ pork here is a little tough, I still enjoyed it because the sauce wasn't too greasy nor too salty (a.k.a. I didn't feel the need to chase a bite of the BBQ with a huge glob of rice). The turon had a tad too much sugar coating for my liking, but it was super duper crispy. I was pleasantly surprised on how much I liked the ginataang bilo bilo as it was thick, had the right amount of sweetness, and had plenty of the good stuff (rice balls, plantains, etc.). Overall pretty good food here. Wouldn't mind stopping by here again the next time I'm craving for Filipino food in the Bay Area. read more

It is so heartbreaking for me to write this review because this is one of our favorite spots before. My mom bought ulam from here before and it was amazing!! However, when they moved their location, we noticed that their food quality declined. We bought the adobong pusit and the dinuguan and both of them had HUGE CHUNKS of onion and garlic. The squids were not properly cleaned. We were disappointed to say the least. read more

Some of the best Filipino we ever had. Customer service was great. Portions were big. The food tasted like it was made at home. My girlfriend loved the lechon kawali. We are big food people & this was 10/10 read more

This place is Number 1!! Just go. My buddy Art mentioned this place. Being Filipinos we can be pretty critical comparing to our Lola's recipes but this place is legit, in my opinion. Check them out!! Ordered adobo and dinuguan over rice. Sarap! read more

This is the new location. When i found out they moved and had a better location, I was so excited as I love the food here. U fortunately that excitement was overcome by disappointment. First off, when I was ordering, the younger serving me had 0 hospitality. No smile. No pleasant personality. Seemed like a guy that was miserable to work there. I tried asking him questions but all his answers were like one word answers like he didnt give a fack. "Kuya lumipat na pala kayo, galing ako sa kabila. " his answer "oo" and didn't even look at me. "Kuya ayus tong pwesto niyo mas malake" his reply "yeah". I just stopped trying to small talk with him after that. I ordered 3 sticks of bbq pork, chicken adobo large, menudo large, and sinigang large. First, i dont know if they changed cooks or recipe but the taste of everything was off. Maybe they need better quality control. 1. The bbq was undercooked. 2. Chicken adobo was undercooked and didn't taste like adobo at all. Felt like tinipid nila ang soy sauce. The other stuff 'di ko na tinikman at na turn off na ako. Mas maganda na nga pwesto but the quality is bad. Not a good exchange. Sayang this was my favorite pinoy resto in all of the bay area. read more

Initially we drove to our favorite Filipino restaurant but unfortunately it was closed. But we still had a huge craving to satisfy. So we drove a few more minutes to Pinoy BBQ ATBP for the first time. We arrived @ 1130 on a weekday and already there was a line out the door, which is always a good sign. It's a fast food style restaurant with an entire wall adorned with Manny Pacquiao paraphernalia. There are 2 small tables to dine in. But we took our food to go. We ordered lechon kawali, beef caldereta and pancit. The lechon was tender and juicy. The beef was tender as well with lots of flavor. The pancit noodles were stir- fried perfectly and had a good ratio of veggies and strips of pork. The staff were pleasant and helpful. For example, we were told the lechon would be ready in a few minutes so we waited outside. One of the employees handed us our order, instead of waiting for us to come back in. Even though there was a line. This was a great find and the food was delicious! Maraming Salamat Po! read more

very good foods, can't complain about the serving i am so satisfied how they served their customer, nice people.. must try i strongly recommended. ***** read more

They have moved to a new location. They are now located at 41 Serra Way, Suite 108 in Milpitas. Anyways, this is our go-to place for Filipino food. Must-tries are the $3.75 a-la-cart pork skewers (great mix of meat and fat, perfectly charred with a sweet sauce) and the Lechon Kawali ($10.50). Our order was freshly fried and quite generous with a good balance of meat, fat, and skin. It stayed hot and crispy for the drive home and through lunch. Loved it. read more

My cravings for Filipino food hit hard one day, so we looked up places on DoorDash, and after seeing the raving reviews here, we decided to give it a shot. Maybe it was the fact that we ordered delivery, or we ordered at an in-between meals time (~4:30-5PM), but the food was just okay. (I will say that they are VERY generous with rice portions, though!) Beef kaldereta. A beef stew that is packed with flavor, but the pieces of meat were a lot tougher than I expected to come in a stew. I was looking for tender pieces of meat, but the meat seemed overcooked or maybe the incorrect choice of meat for the stew. It took a lot of chewing for some of the pieces. Chicken adobo. Again, flavor was there, but the chicken was dry and looked overcooked once you got into the middle of the pieces. I usually look forward to adobo and was a little disappointed that the meat missed the mark here. Pork skewers. The best item in our order! Two skewers of tender pork charred and slathered with sweet BBQ sauce. Perfect over rice. Lumpia. This might have been the most disappointing one. By the time it got to us, the lumpia were lukewarm and soggy. I'm not sure if this is a delivery timing issue, but I would expect that lumpia should be able to stay crispy for more than 30 minutes. I was pretty saddened to take a bite and not get that satisfying crunch. If the cravings hit again, maybe we'll go in person and pick up our food to see if that makes a difference. read more

The food is delicious! Service was excellent! It's great to see the new and bigger location. Brought my mom for the first time and she wants to come back again! read more

My family and I drove all the way from Morgan Hill. Worth the drive. I had my dinoguan fix! My husband ordered the chicken afritada. We ordered some rice and for dessert... karioca and mamon. My son loved the Shanghai egg rolls. The food was amazing and definitely authentic! The atmosphere is friendly and accepting of all walks of life. I'm definitely coming back! If you're in the area, try this place out to satisfy your Filipino cravings! read more

We are from Sacramento and passing through for my cousins graduation party and we wanted to find some bomb Filipino food to bring home for dinner. We conveniently found Pinoy BBQ and decided to check it out! The people were soooooo nice there! We told them it was our first time there and the sweet lady gave us a sample of a couple different entrees! Everything hit my mouth SOOOO GOOD!!!! My kids 3 and 5 loved the bilo bilo!! They inhaled it!!! We ended up leaving full from all the delicious samples but with a full bag of goodies to bring home. We got adobo, kare kare and lechon kawali. Everything was soooooo delicious!! The hubs was in Filipino nirvana and was very happy with our meal. The food definitely tastes home cooked with lots of love! We will be back soon!! read more

I ordered a large tray of fried chicken and it's so overcooked and hard half of the tray went to waste

Ordered the lumpia Shanghai for a party and it was a hit! Coming back to try their other dishes their chicken adobo looks delicious.

I saw the many stars on Yelp so I went. It's not that the food was bad. It was not just my idea of delicious. Maybe I bought the wrong things which I immediately tried with a little of everything as soon as I got in my car. All of it was at room temperature. I didn't really care for the dinakdakan which I was quite excited to try. Ugh, I don't like the combination of pork and mayonnaise. The barbecue was brushed with sauce after it was cooked which I don't prefer. It was alright in taste but not as good as Phil-Am in Daly City which you get very hot and fresh from the grill. The sisig and igado were disappointing. I'm sorry. I didn't like everything I got. Would I come back? Maybe I'll give it another try when I am in the area but I will get other things. In my humble opinion, Daly City and Vallejo are the best places for delish Filipino food. read more

I got a catered Palabok and Shanghai Lumpia it was yummy and a great value. Family loved it

This place truly brings the comforting flavors of home! I visited for the first time and was delighted by the delicious breakfast options. The dishes, reminiscent of what my dad used to make, were both satisfying and flavorful. The breakfast silogs are conveniently prepared and ready at the counter, which made for a quick and enjoyable meal. I'm so grateful to have found this gem--thank you for bringing such a warm, homestyle experience to your customers! read more

chewy meat. meh service. food was cold. cheap? sure, rather spend my sheckels elsewhere

Smackin! Dinakdakan, bistek Are hands down my favorite! Fast service and easy going people..

A true staple for me and my partner. We go here about twice a week. It's great food at an affordable price. It also helps that most of the staff are very welcoming and talk to you as if they're your Tita or Tito- haha! Would recommend this place if you are looking for good comfort pinoy food. Also their new location is much more spacious and can accommodate more folks so stop by for a meal with your family! read more

The food at Pinoy BBQ has been consistently good over the last few years. We order food from there every 1-3weeks. You can order large catering trays as needed. The staff is always friendly and gives suggestions of what to try next. The store inside is a nice retro twist. It is decorated w/ Manny Pacquiao collecibles. They are following covid protocols with masks required, hand sanitizer, limited capacity inside to order food to go. They have outside seating set up as well. read more

The food is good if you like sweetness. The bbq sauce is my favorite. I don't really know much about their service cuz I always buy takeout but I saw people eating in the restaurant with the takeout boxes. The surrounding environment is good with good natural lightings. read more

Something changed, as the difference in food from their original spot to where they are now is astronomical. Scrumptious menu from their OG spot and my fav had always been their bicol express. On their new spot, it was absolutely off and gross. Such a shame as it was nowhere near the quality and overall taste from their og location. When you expand as a business, obviously is to further prosper as well as the growth of the business but these folks clearly abandoned what was key and imperative component cause if it wasn't the chef that changed then it was definitely the recipe - just gross. What a shame. Never coming back. Definitely not worth the price they are charging as well. read more

I'm not Filipino, but I love exploring different cuisines, and this place was a fantastic introduction to Filipino food! Since I wasn't familiar with the dishes, the staff went above and beyond to help, offering samples of several items and explaining what each one was. Their friendliness and effort made the experience so enjoyable--and resulted in us buying much more than we originally planned! Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. Thanks to the staff's helpfulness, I now feel more confident about what to order and can't wait to come back and try even more dishes. Highly recommended! read more

I feel sad that I just found this place today after having lived in the area for several years. A lady working there was damn nice and walked me through the arrays of dishes, and let me try whichever she thought I may like. When trying those samples, I knew immediately that I'm going to come back again. Chose 5 dishes and everything was bomb. Very flavorful and tender meats. Portion was a lot too. I was feeling as if my mom was trying to pack up as much food as possible to feed me when leaving her after visiting. Some dishes were already sold out when I was there at 6:30 on a week day. And it looks like they have weekend special menu as well. Definitely coming back in the near future. 5 dishes: BBQ pork skewer, sisig, pork adobo, pork with mayo sauce, and sour soup. read more

Definitely recommend coming to Pinoy BBQ for your catering needs. Although it was cash only for pickup of catering for $100 or more, it was worth it! I really loved their pork sisig and lumpia shanghai. The restaurant inside is small but has some space and they have a pick and choose style if you are not ordering catering. I really do enjoy their pork bbq too! It's literally the best and I love ordering their food on DoorDash when I'm lazy. read more

The workers and owners were extremely nice and very welcoming. They provided recommendations for the food options, and were very hospitable. I would recommend this place. The food is also very flavorful. The restaurant itself is a little small with three tables. read more

Went on a weekend morning. Cold/ chilling day outside. Ate inside but Why was the fan on? Food was ok. Lacking flavor. Guess I'm comparing it to Daly City or Kalesa . Kare kare was ok. Wish items I had such as the Ukoy was at least fresh. It tasted cold either made way early in the morning or kept in the fridge. I'll give it another chance. Maybe a better improvement. I can hope they read this.. read more

Not bad for $17 + $1: pancit, kare kare and pork belly lechon style plus turon. The pancit was made with bihon (rice vermicelli) which is well flavored. The noodles had the shrimp and pork flavor. You can taste and see actual ingredients: celery, carrots, pork and baby shrimp. The kare kare has tripe (soft and not gamy), which I appreciate. But main protein in kare kare was beef instead of oxtail. It has a peanuty gravy with slight sour taste. I also like that they use the traditional long beans instead of green beans in kare kare. The shrimp paste (bagopng) to accompany the kare kare is the salty version, instead of the sweet version, which better complemented the gravy's flavor. The pork belly has a good skin, fat, meat ratio. Skin was crunchy. The fat/meat was soft and not dry nor tough. Not overly seasoned that you can still taste the pork flavor. I just didn't like the after taste on the seasoned part of the pork belly; had some kind of 5 spice type after taste which reminds me of the Chinese style roast pork. I prefer not having the 5 spice flavor. The turon (fried banana egg roll) had the sugar coated crispy wrapper around the soft ripened sweet banana. It's nice that they use ripe bananas instead of the hard unripe ones that other restos serve. I would not consider the dishes as the same quality your Filipino grandma, mom and auntie would expertly make but a pretty good alternative when you're craving just about anything. They have a huge selection of good tasting dishes to satisfy Pinoy food cravings for a reasonable price. Been to this place countless times and will always be on my go to list. read more

Pickup was easy, and the food was ready upon arrival with plenty of lot parking. The staff was super nice and welcoming. 5/10 Lechon Kawaii - The portion was good, but most pieces were over 50% fat, which I found inedible. The meatier pieces were crunchy and juicy, especially when dipped in their savory sauce, but I wouldn't order this again. 6/10 Sisig - The meat was juicy, tender, and well-cooked. However, the flavor was overly sour instead of savory, which somewhat complemented the fatty Lechon. 10/10 BBQ Skewer and Rib - $3 each: The meat was tender and well-cooked, but the highlight was the house BBQ sauce! It's sweet but not cloying like American BBQ sauce and has a savory touch. I recommend getting extra sauce to dip the Sisig in to balance the sourness. read more

Authentic Filipino cuisine. I brought 2 other friends here. We ordered the 2 "ulam" ( dishes) option for each one of us. The pansit was perfectly spiced. Tinola contains a really good portion of chicken but the chayote was too hard (raw) . The sisig was ok. My friend who ordered the Filipino menudo was so blown out she ordered another one for her daughter. We had a really good time and promise to be back read more

It's an interesting place. Rice was good. Sketchy neighborhood. Chicken was fatty. Price was ok.

My brother and I discovered this spot because we were craving Filipino food and this spot is closest to where I live. This place is more of a takeout spot, but there are a couple tables inside if you did want to eat-in. It is pretty small inside, so my brother and I always take out and go back to my place to eat. We always order the two-item plate, which comes with white rice and two sides of your choice. We are not Filipino and are not too familiar with all the dishes, so we usually just point at what we want. Some workers speak English, but some speak very minimal English. Also, the foods do not have labels on them but you can always try asking what it is. We've been here a couple times now and always try to order something different each time. I really enjoy the BBQ pork skewers! They have the perfect char on them and they are tasty. We've never tried anything that we didn't like here. For now, this spot will be our go-to Filipino take-out spot near me! read more

THE BEST!!! I'm a teacher and one of my students recommended this place to me about two months ago and I have eaten here about 4 times since then. It's AMAZING!!! The food is always fresh and delicious, the portions are great, the people that work here are super kind, don't doubt coming here for a second!!! There was a day I went and I placed my usual order (pork adobo and beef kaldereta combo plate and a pork skewer on the side- this is enough food for two servings for myself!) and the kind lady serving me asked me if I had ever had sour soup. I had known about sinigang but I never had it, so I told her "no i haven't" and she gave me a cup for free to try. This is a perfect hole in the wall place with great food, great servings, amazing prices, kind people, and they have a guaranteed returning customer :) read more
