Pretty good Filipino food! Came here on a Friday around 6:30 and was seated right away. Got the milkfish sisig and my partner got the tocino. The sisig was a bit salty but once you eat it with the pickled cucumbers, it cuts through the saltiness. Enough for two people if you order rice! Tocino was a bit sweeter than my partner preferred so he'll probably try something else next time. Good to know there's a Filipino spot though in the South Bay. I used to live in Daly City and there were a ton there so happy I don't need to drive there anymore if I'm craving Filipino food! read more

Solid 4 star experience. Came here on Father's day, and arrived right around noon and there were still some tables open. Before you knew it, tables were filling up with families out to celebrate or post-church. The decor is fun, lots to look at and they have games at the table. We were given a menu and some cold water and soon after, someone came to take our order. We got the crispy pata with rice and egg, and also another two meat combo. The sisig was amazing, melt in your mouth and flavorful albeit a bit salty. They ran out of the cantaloupe drink which made me sad because thats one of my favorites, but I got a calamansi drink instead and that was refreshing and cold which was perfectly paired with the fairly fatty and dense crispy pata. The pickled cucumbers on the side are a perfect addition to the salty meat. Overall, good experience! Garlic rice could've been a tad more flavorful in my opinion but other than that, delicious. read more

Been at this restaurant a few times a few years ago. Decode to revisit and get one of their combos: Longanisa, fried chicken, lechon kawali, garlic rice and eggs. Longanisa- sweet pork sausage; came with 3 pieces. Wish they were grilled. Seemed like just boiled. Juicy but not too fatty. Fried Chicken - crispy thin skin. Had a funny taste to it. Not sure if it's their seasoning or the chicken was freezer burnt. Lechon Kawali - this was the best meat in the combo. Crunchy fried outside but juicy at the same time. Good ratio of fat to meat. Yummy. Garlic rice was not oily and good serving size. Also had 2 over medium eggs. Came with pickled cucumber in sweet vinegar brine. Also came with 3 dips: ketchup, vinegar and the sweet peppery lechon sauce. Cost $30. Nice staff. 3 Stars then and now. read more

It's been awhile since I last visited Tapsilog Bistro. A nice festive place with mostly inside seating. The service was friendly, informative, and helpful. He also told me of their other location in Santa Clara called Tapsilog Cantina. Pork Inihaw Na Liempo: Griddled european pork belly with skin marinated pinoy style (3/5). I ordered it with garlic rice. The rice had some hard inedible things in it. Also the pork belly was a bit chewy and saltier than expected. The pickled julienned cucumbers were delicious! Pork Tocilog: Marinated sweetened pork, aka Filipino sweet bacon (no pic). We also had the pork skewers, chicken skewers which we thought were delicious and done well! Also, we tried the and bistek and sizzling pork sisig but felt both was overly salty. read more

How could Chicken Adobo (all dark meat) be sooooo dry? No sauce or gravy and served over spinach leaves??? The sisig also was dry and over cooked. Not tender and no soy/vinegar sauce. If someone is experiencing Filipino food for the first time and ordered these 2 items, they would not return. So sad. Adobo and sisig is slowly cooked and the juices meld into the sauce creating a savory dish. For shame! read more

I've been wanting to swing by Tapsilog and today I finally did. We went around 9:45-10am. I ordered a 3 meat bilao. I chose longanisa, sisig and pancit as my 3 "meats". I think for the price the portion size is super generous and I left with leftovers. You can never go wrong with longanisa. The pork sisig was nicely cooked and super flavorful. The pancit was super light but I kept wanting to eat more! Overall, it hit the spot. I've been craving Filipino food for awhile now and I'm so happy my craving is finally satisfied! The service was wonderful and I love all the decor! Highly recommend! read more

The 3 kids and I were out and about in the South Bay and everyone started to get hungry, D1 wanted Filipino food and none of us had been here before so it was worth a check out. In a random strip mall with nothing much in it, however plenty of parking. Indoor and outdoor seating. We opted for indoors. Cute setup inside, tables with sungka boards and shells. Banana leaves. Cute. Menu was pretty extensive but we opted for silogs, and the girls shared. The girls had the bistek and sisig, SonShine had the sisig and lechon kawali, and I had the bangus and inihaw na liempo. Everything was YUM to the max. Flavored well, not too salty or oily. We wish it wasn't so far for us, but we have plenty of yummy places here where we are too. If you're in that area definitely check it out. read more

A hole in the wall spot in a small plaza with lots of parking. Picked up an order to go but the restaurant had such a comforting ambiance that I would want to come back to dine in. Our order was ready sooner than the expected time and the staff was very friendly when picking up the order. Items Ordered: - Lumpia Shanghai: Comes with 20 pieces of lumpia and spicy sweet and sour sauce or vinegar garlic dipping sauce. Can share between 2-4 people and always goes well with the spicy sweet and sour sauce. - Grand Silog 3 meats 1 egg: Picked the sisilog, longsilog, pork lechon kawali silog for the meats. I liked the flavor of the sisilog which wasn't too salty. Came with 3 pieces of longsilog which were very tasty. Pork lechon kawali was very dry and came with 3-4 pieces. - Pansit Guisado noodles: HUGE portion of pansit noodles and came with 4 slices of lime. Flavor was good overall, maybe just a tad more flavor would make the dish great. read more

Returned for a few times already! Food is so good here. I love lumpia the best. I like that their plate option allows you to try out multiple items the same time.

Plenty of parking outside read more

Despite the dishes looking small it was actually quite filling but I'm quite disappointed with the flavors. Not worth the price for the off flavors imo. The garlic rice barely had any garlic flavor and it was dry. Just tasted like plain white rice with the tiiiiinnniiiest hint of garlic. Chicken adobo was too salty despite it being fall off the bone tender. Longanisa was good though. Also got a halo halo but thought it tasted like watered down milk :( and was majority just ice read more

Always a good time when I come here. This is where I take my friends when they say they've never had Filipino food (beyond the standard lumpia and pancit). Service is great whether I'm dining in, taking out, or just picking up. Always a friendly face ready to provide recs. They have some cool and unique (ube!!) beers in the fridge in the back and some very cool wall decor. The place is well-decorated with plenty of tchotchkes to admire! read more

The server, ambiance and menu options are ok, but obviously, they were understaffed. The sizzling porchop and grilled pork was way salty (maybe the cook poured the same amount of iodized salt instead of rock salt). The garlic rice has undercooked garlic. The common shortcoming of Filipino restaurants in the US is that the person they hire to cook are not cooks by profession/expertise but people who just needed a job. I think this is what happened here. Like who would not taste what they prepare? At this day and age, they still charge for credit card surcharge but they don't accept cash either. Better go to Isla instead where the food is consistent. read more

Came here on a whim honestly. I was at Marvel to pick up a cake order, but it wasn't ready. I then ended up coming here, well 1, I was hungry, and 2 I've been craving Filipino food for the longest. Originally, I was looking to dine outside because I had my pup with me. But the young lady who was serving was so kind and made accommodations since it was so hot outside, seating us inside while the pup was in his stroller. *Yes, I'm that dog mom* While I wanted to order sago gullaman, they ran out of tapioca pearls. it's okay though because she served it with jelly instead which sufficed my cravings. I ordered the Kare-Kare which was super good. Made miss my mom's cooking so much. To be honest I may even think of doing a boodle fight catering because I haven't tried yet, so that would be a new experience. Especially, with the service. I do plan to come back. read more

I came here for lunch, and they were really busy. I opted to sit outside, and the server was still pretty attentive. He even brought us ube ice cream for the long wait for food. That was really thoughtful. For my appetizer, I had the fried tofu and lechon. There were way more tofu pieces than lechon, and it was piping hot. I liked the sauce that came with it. For my main, I had the loco moco. The meat was overcooked, but that is my only complaint. The gravy was absolutely delicious! And it was a very generous portion. I also got the calamansi juice, and it was really refreshing. read more

Came here with family and it truly feels like a homey hole in the wall spot. The location has so much personality and I love it. There was a big party the day we went so it was loud inside there but we didn't mind. The food was amazing, very flavorful and many different options. It truly tasted authentic. The service was good, they were busy because of the party because so things took some time and some things were sold out but overall they were very accommodating. We would come back again for the food! read more

2nd time coming here. Love the Philippines vibe and decor and it definitely makes it feel like home - the food especially! Beef tapsilog: 9/10. The beef was so tender and not overcooked/chewy like some tapsilog at other places. Paired this with the salted egg and the flavors complement each other so well! Kare Kare: 10/10. I had a random Kare Kare craving and didn't want to cook it at home. Always will go to this place to fix my Filipino food cravings. The singing is also a go to dish that tastes sooo good when they cook it fresh. read more

This place brought me back to my Filipino parent's house. I ate the Grand Boneless Bangus which satisfied my craving, and my boyfriend ate the Bicol Express. The Bicol had a strong spicy kick, and the staff gave us a heads up that it was spicy. It tasted great! I'll definitely come back here to eat Filipino food that I'm too lazy to cook at home haha. They even to catering here too. Loved the simple ambiance they had. Lots of Filipino pride read more

I've been to this place many times, and I love it. It is nostalgic for me because I grew up eating Filipino food. The flavors are very authentic, but they also offer some fusion options which are more approachable for folks that are new to Filipino cuisine. The service is always incredibly friendly, especially when Ed is working. It's a cozy and casual spot. My favorite dish is the kare-kare, which I get almost every time I come here. read more

Yum! Came in as a party of two on a Saturday for lunch and got seated immediately. I had the Kare kare which I rated 7/10 I just really did not like the sauce at all it wasn't the kind I'm used to having texture-wise and they don't use oxtail. My husbands bistek silog was amazing and their lumpia was also very good. They were fast clean and kind. I'd like to come back but just try something different. I wish pinakbet was on the menu I didn't see it read more

Had the pork Lumpia, pork chops, pork belly and chicken adobo. Chicken was a little dry for the adobo, lumpia was good bt nothing to write home about. Pork chops and pork belly might have been the best the chops were on the greasy side. The inside was kind of a picnic vibe bt it was super packed in there. Services was very fast. read more

We came to Tapsilog Bistro for brunch on a Sunday morning, and they had just opened up so there were plenty of tables to choose from. We all ordered a meat combo, and I loved their serving size and the ability to customize! I wanted longanisa and lumpia, but also wanted tortang talong (eggplant), and they were able to honor my request. I ordered the lychee sangria, and it was made to perfection. The service was wonderful! We stayed for close to 2 hours, and they continuously checked up on us even as the restaurant started to fill up. At one point, a man who I believe is the owner came around and greeted everyone. He really came in there and rolled up his sleeves to help his staff on a busy day, as all business owners should! Overall, we loved the variety and the taste of the food! I'll for sure be coming back. read more

I know there are two. I went to the other site a couple times but had never been to this one. I think this is one the better of the two. The flavor profile was as if you were eating at your Lola's. My son and I came on a Tuesday around 5:30 and there were only 2 other people dining in. It's a small older strip mall but not very busy and plenty of parking. We had lechon kawali kare kare. Pork was large pieces and crispy. Veggies vibrant in color. Gravy was everything kare kare needs to be. On to the pork sinigang. Sour..hot and veggies were fresh. Mongo also had pork belly and had great flavor. Son said his garlic fried rice had the right about of garlic. Serving size is definitely shareable. Brought home lots of leftovers for the teen waiting on us at home. Son ordered calamansi juice and I had the melon. Both fresh and refreshing. Service was pleasant, expeditious and came with a smile. We'll be back! read more

Good variety of meats to build a bilao but unfortunately all of them came lukewarm. Griddled pork belly wasn't particularly tender, chicken adobo was good but fairly mild in taste (other than decently salty), and the milkfish as well as the eggplant omelette with beef were pretty average. The garlic rice was chewy and relatively well-flavored and the sunny side up egg on top came runny. The vegetarian pancit with tofu and noodles comes as an enormous portion - probably enough for 2-3 people if it was the only dish ordered. This was flavored well even without the lemon squeezed over it. But my mom noted that some portions of the noodles make contact with the (probably unwashed) basket, which was off-putting. We also asked for a soup recommendation. Unfortunately I wasn't listening when he recommended one of the soups, which was the tamarind one that neither of my parents had tried nor heard of before. They didn't like it due to the sourness (and we've had Chinese hot and sour soup before). But I think it's a little less sour than hot and sour soup and a little more savory from the broth (possibly meat broth). Nothing wrong with it for those who like tamarind. We had the meat replaced with beef (the menu options are pork or seafood) and the soup came with about 8 huge and tender beef chunks! The soup also contained some okra, spinach, green beans, onions, and tomatoes. The total was ~$70 for 3 people and we took home 3 pyrex dishes worth of leftovers. I didn't notice before, but I don't really know why we were only given 1 egg (even specified that on the receipt) for the 4-meat Bilao (which says 2 eggs on the menu) because we definitely weren't asked anything about that. read more

My favorite spot to meet up with my classmate/dentist! * The Food: The bangsilog is my go-to--perfectly fried, savory milkfish paired with a refreshing mimosa to take the edge off the week. * The Staff: They are the highlight.

I'm no Filipino food expert but I ordered the Grand Silog so I could try a good variety of meats. We got the 4 meat combo and I got the longsilog (sweet sausage), tocilog (Filipino sweet bacon), lechon kawali silog (crispy pork belly), and the pork adobo silog. I liked all the meats besides the crispy pork belly which I thought was too dry and crispy for me but I've got old lady teeth so it's more of a personal problem. We got the order to go so can't comment on the service but we liked the food and it wasn't too oily. The garlic rice for me wasn't garlicky enough for me but everything else was good so I'd like to come back and try more. read more

Been there twice, but not in last 4 years. It was great, really good flavors, authentic preparation. Service was good, nothing exceptional. A little pricey. Tapsilog is good standby, if you're in the mood for some solid and elevated Filipino food, not street food! read more

I have seen people come here a lot and always wanted to try it. Not a bad spot for some filipino food if you are in the area. it's in a little plaza and the bathroom is outside of the restaurant but the restaurant itself is a decent size. I like all the decorations around the restaurant. A lot of people were coming in and out and getting a quick bite to eat. If I am in the area and craving filipino food, I would recommend this place. I can imagine if it were on a weekend this place is probably very busy! read more

We've dined at Tapsilog Bistro several times, and I've been meaning to write this review for a while now. Most recently, one of our (non-filipino) physician colleagues was retiring and specifically requested sisig for his retirement lunch. Without hesitation, Tapsilog Bistro was at the top of my list and it did not disappoint. Their sisig is absolutely delicious, hearty and perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. Overall, this place is about as close as you can get to home-cooked Filipino food outside of someone's kitchen. Everything we've tried has been consistently excellent. Highly recommend the Sisig, Silogs, Kare-Kare, Lechon Kawali, Ensaladang Talong, Seafood Sinigang, and especially the Kamayan Bilao, which is perfect for sharing. We absolutely love this place and will continue coming back. If you're craving authentic, comforting Filipino food, Tapsilog Bistro is a must-visit. read more

Tapsilog is one of my favorite Filipino restaurants in the area. I always come here when I'm craving something hearty and comforting. I usually order the Hearty Silog plate, which includes a mound of garlic rice, a fried egg, and your choice of meat--my go-to is the sweet sausage. Occasionally, I'll add a side of lechon for extra indulgence. Their sisig is another highlight, served sizzling on a hot plate that brings out the meat's flavor and aroma - it's perfect with rice. The service is consistently quick and friendly, and I appreciate that each plate is made to order, ensuring freshness. The restaurant has a casual vibe, decorated with medals and embellishments, making it a local favorite. read more

Not very experienced with Filipino food but I dare to say that lumpia is perfectly made and it's gonna be hard to find a better one. The pork filling is well seasoned and so juicy. Eat it while it's hot and there's still soup inside. The wrapper is very crunchy. This lumpia is addicting and worth a trip for it alone. Tried a couple other dishes. They are good but just not impressive to me. I do like the pancit, simple taste but really good. Will come back to try their rice plates. read more

Wanted to check this place out for a while now because of all the great reviews and food pictures. The inside kind of looks like a sports bar meets BBQ joint. Pictures everywhere, multiple TVs and beer taps hanging from walls. Wifey and I were told to grab a seat. A couple of minutes later we were greeted by our server, who was very patient with us as we did not know what to order and had many questions. " unfortunately that's where the service stopped, "I was never even offered a refill for my water" Wifey and I both ended up getting the three meat build your own Bilao. For the meats, I got the chicken adobo, fried chicken and substituted a meat for the Pancit noodles. It also comes with an egg, cucumbers in a refreshing and tasty juice, and garlic rice. The rundown: #1. If you are looking for quantity of food then this is your place "just look at the pictures" they give you massive amounts of food! 5 stars. #2. The chicken Adobo was good but very dry, slightly bland. 2.5 stars #3. The fried chicken was way overcooked, greasy dry and super chewy 1star. #4. The noodles were good but very oily, I had to stop eating them due to the heaviness of the oil. 2 Stars. #5. The garlic rice. I could definitely taste the garlic in the rice but the rice completely lacked seasoning, I could not even taste any salt in the rice. 1.5 stars. Bottom line: I'm not sure if I showed up on an off night but there is no way this place should have a 4 star rating "IMO" read more
