I absolutely love this place!!!! The food is fresh and sooo good! We had an event here and Ed and staff were amazing! If felt like his staff were part of our family. Just recently I ordered food last minute and they were able to accommodate. This place (especially Ed) never disappoints! They will do their very best to accommodate. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!! read more

Flew in from Seattle in the AM just to take my parents here. I usually go with my husband to the one in Hayward but I found out about the bistro. The waitress was really nice and friendly (beautiful too). I would say the food was too infused for my taste. When it comes to Filipino dishes, we want a taste from "Inay's kitchen", that Lola recipe and when it's infused and modernized too much, the value of the dish diminishes. We ordered fried pampano - fried is fried. Crispy pata - it was a great portion and fairly juicy. Bistek - beef steak has ingredients of soy sauce and calamansi but our onions were too burnt that it over powered the dish. Pancit was a side dish to my moms plate and she said that it tasted a little panis (old) as if it was mixed with old and freshly cooked pancit. I had Tortang talong - which should just be a small amount of ground beef, onions, eggs and a whole eggplant. I felt like there was so many extra ingredients that it was more of a veggie omelette than that authentic dish. Not to mention, we stopped over at the tindahan (store) next door to grab ice cream and halo halo and as we were eating outside the owner's friends were outside drinking and the guy puked outside. A lot. In front of our rental. As a pregnant woman, I got so sick I had to walk across to the other plaza to get picked up. It is partially a bar, but it just being 1pm I felt a gallon of regurgitation was more than I needed. All the best, Kiki read more

From the warm greeting to rustic ambiance... was all a 5 star.. the owner was awesome he guided us with the menu.. if your not familiar with the names of the dishes he was there to explain and guide the order.. I had the ribeye with overeasy eggs on top of the garlic rice was so tasty.. super fast service.. and had a beer imported from the Philippines.. great taste to that beer.. I will be back to try about 5 other dishes that caught my eye.. read more

The owner is super cool! He's like my cool Tito lol. He was very hospitable and very attentive. The food was delicious! I was craving filipino food in Santa Clara. I got the sampler platter #1 for only about $20 each person and unlimited garlic rice. Good deal! The halo halo was bomb and he gave me extra ube ice cream. Yum! read more

Yummy silogs. I forgot what I ordered but I was all over it. Loved the garlic rice. Can't go wrong with this place when you're craving Filipino food. I thought it was a little pricey but I admit I'm cheap. The we're also doing a food truck event with tacos. Didn't get to cry any but looked good. Very friendly staff. Salamat! read more

I give this place four stars for it's attentive service, differentiation in atmosphere/vibe, and lastly for overall pretty good Filipino food. We came late in the afternoon but it seems that this place would be much more crowded in the a.m. Stepping in, it looks like a neighborhood bar (Sharks Jersey on the wall, TV's playing sports, and music playing keep this place very lively. Looks like they have pretty good happy hour specials and have bottomless mimosas! Lots of reason to try this place. Food: We started with that tapa fries. Pretty good, but I think I could do without the salsa. We had the Sisilog and the Lechon Kawalisilog. I think the Sisilog could have used more seasoning. The Lechon Kawali was pretty good but it was a little hard to cut. I definitely want to try a couple other silogs and see how they fare. I'd recommend checking this place out. read more

As someone who was born in the Philippines and grew up eating the sisig my dad made for his pulutan, I absolutely loved their sisig turned to a -silog. The portions were big and the delicious calamansi juice brought back memories. My boyfriend who is not a Filipino loved their bangsilog. I also really liked how there were TVs everywhere that were playing the Giants game. I support anyone who supports the Giants haha read more

This place was amazing! The portion was very large. We started off with the sisig fries. This is just like the carne asada fries but with way better meat and flavor. Then we each ordered our main dish (the rice and deep fried meat and the burrito). Everything we tried was delish! The staff was super nice. He explained some of the items on the menu and was really friendly. He kept coming back to check on us. The chef also came out to say hi and conversed with our table. The atmosphere was great and they played great music. This place just has the whole package! read more

Food can be heavy but it's on point. Loved the huge portion of lumpia. Crispy outside but meaty interior. All the sausage and rice breakfasts are delicious. Definitely use the vinegar to cut through the grease. read more

I've passed by this location so many times without realizing there was such a good restaurant here. Would definitely want to revisit. Sisilog: This is one of their most popular dishes, and reasonably so. The grilled pork sisig is delicious and is provided generously. The two poached eggs that also came on the side were amazingly juicy. If your dish doesn't come with poached eggs, do yourself a favor and order them separately. 5/5 Tortang talong silog: This is an omelette that felt too well done. It started out good, but after finishing half a dish, I got a bit tired of it. 4/5 Garlic fried rice: These were good, but disappointingly light on the garlic flavor. 4/5. read more

Had a craving for Halo Halo and this place came up close by my house on yelp. Place is really nice staff is super friendly Fast service which I loved being pregnant I'm not too patient on waiting for my food. I ordered the tocilog cane with garlic rice and fried egg. The food was very good I enjoyed it very much I would def come back for the food! Now for the Halo Halo I ordered two one for me one for my husband boy was I excited to eat it but man was I disappointed this was not a like any other Halo Halo I've ever had flavorless missing a lot of the traditional ingredients the milk was not sweet at all it was basically a cup of ice with milk beans and Ube ice cream. read more

This place is ok. I've been here once before with my mom during lunch and it was crowded. I ordered adobosilog and mom the bangsilog. Mom's Bangsilog was a hit for me and got it this time around plus mangorita. It was still good and the husband got the topsilog which was, eh. Brought husband here for dinner and still, crowded with a long wait. Good thing I warned him about the long wait so he was very patient. There was only 2 person working the tables and they were very kind and apologetic. The atmosphere was somewhat authentic Filipino with their serving placed on banana leaf, table made of bamboo, bar carried San Miguel beer of course. I must say, it was a bit overpriced here, costing us $31. read more

Came here because it has literally been in my Yelp bookmarks to check out since I found out it opened. I ordered my food to go, and decided to take advantage of their wine happy hour. The waiter put my wine in a huge plastic wine glass and filled it to the rim allowing me to slurp the sweet nectar. The owner introduced himself and then apologized for the waiter serving the wine in plastic wine glass. I of reassured him that no apology was needed as I was quite satisfied. House Chardonnay from Guglielmo Winery for $3 in a Viking goblet?! Plus they were playing reggae. No complaints here. I got the bangus based on then Yelp reviews and I also got the adobosilog, both were pretty tasty. I will be back to try more silogs. read more

I love this place!! I've only come for breakfast but both times have been very enjoyable. I would like to come to watch a game sometime. The TV's there are great and you can even hear the sound. I have gotten the fried chicken twice (LOVE) and then the owner gave us some Filipino bacon to try the last time we were there and now that is what I'll be getting next time. It was very good! read more

I order a Sinigang to go because I was sick and lemme tell you. It was so good like just like my mom makes it. The perfect amount of sour and they packed it with meat and veggies. It's as if my throat cleared well while I was eating it. And like 20 min after. It's like the soup healed my body and soul. Can't wait to go back. read more

i ordered on doordash But. They didn't prioritize the orders Online Ive Ordered 11:00 am. and. up until now. Theres no movement on my order Ive been waiting for my order for 2hrs already read more

My friend lives around the corner and hasn't been here his whole life. We decided to go with a group of friends. We were not disappointed, and very impressed! Their longanisa burrito is warm, cheesy and glorious. My friends got their rice plates with sisig, which they thoroughly enjoyed. The location is a little hidden, and we would not have discovered it without Yelp. Give this place a try. I personally haven't been around Filipino food, but it seems like this place cooks up some legit food. Full of flavor. Full of promise. Full of delivery. Prices are reasonable as well. Waiter who helped us was very friendly and accommodating. Every interaction was a delight. I'll come back if I'm in the area. Keep doing you, Tapsilog Bistro. read more

It pains me to give this place 3 stars. My coworker had RAVED about this place, she even went back 2x in the same week! Order one of the silogs... I did not and I was disappointed. And that's all I have to say about that... read more

This place is great. I ordered the milk fish and hubby ordered the beef hash. We both had mango juice. My fish was great. It was crispy, well flavored, went perfectly with the rice and the side salad. Mango juice was great and refreshing. Service was fast and friendly. Hubby likes his food as well. The decore here was nice and comfortable. I find this place less heavy than other Filipino food, which is awesome for my stomach. Would love to come back. read more

Hahaha, this place gives me the giggles...just cuz of the friendly staff. The staff here are quite awesome...there's certain ones that like to give you shit...in a FUN, GOOD way of course...so id give them shit back too lol....all is good ;) I was here a couple of months ago with some friends...I suggested to come here since the ratings were good and people's foodie pictures were tempting me to come here lol...gosh for three peopl, we ordered a shit ton of food...hopefully I can remember what we ordered: Drinks: if I remember correctly...lychee with sangria? I like me some sangria, but I love me some lychee lol...obviously it was a good, refreshing drink. Had to slow down on it cuz I was already buzzin and our food was barely cooking in the kitchen lol. Food: Sisig-which kind? I don't remember...I think my friends and I could agree that this dish just wasn't doing it for us...the look of the dish was more pleasing to the eye than the actual taste of it. It was super oily, and was totally lacking in that "sizzling "sisig" kind of flavor...pretty damn flat if u ask me...with the couple of spoonfuls I took of this food, I couldn't help thinking about all that oil going in my body hah -lechon kawali: I didn't eat this, but my friends said they liked it -I have no idea what it's called...but I think it has that egg thing with tomatoes and some other stuff...again I was the only that didn't want to try it. My friends also ordered their own entrees and so did I...I was craving for some kind of "Silog" and eventually decided to get the tocilog plate. It pretty good. To me proportions are pretty generous...I couldn't finish what was on my plate haha. Anyway, food was good overall. The friendly customer service made our experience worthwhile. read more

We went here for a late lunch on a Saturday. It was our first time. We basically just read reviews on where to go for a Filipino food near San Jose. We ordered the Filipino platter that is good for 2 people $17.50 each and it has (Crispy pata, Fried Milkfish, grilled okra, eggplant, buttered shrimp, ensalada with boiled egg, pampanga's best longganisa and unlimited rice. We didn't need an extra rice but it is just way OVERPRICED! The crispy pata, Fried Milkfish and grilled eggplant are the best. Even their calamansi juice taste good! The ambience is nice. Service is top notch. Our server is very friendly and attentive. 1 star for cleanliness. Good thing we are done eating when it happened. We saw a small cockroach at the top of the sauces where placed at the end of the table. It was gross! I grabbed my phone and was about to take a picture of it then it is gone. We don't know where it went. We want to talk to the Manager but by that time they were all inside the kitchen so we just let it go. We still recommend this place for the food. But please make sure that you check your table or ask for another sauce and don't use the ones on the table. TRIBU GRILL is still the number 1 for me! They have mostly all the authentic Filipino food. It is located in Union City. read more

A bit overpriced... OK for me... I was a little disappointed when I saw that they use concentrated Calamansi juice... I was totally gonna get a glass of it then I saw that and thought NOOO!!!! Service was good and the place has a cool ambiance but the food was alright... Worth a try tho... We got... Bangsilog... Spamsilog and Tortatalongsilog All are ok... similar to what would be made by my family there wasnt anything that shot out different or anything spectacular... I do want to go back to try something else... good portions Worth a try though so check it out! read more

OK, so you may not get white-tablecloth service here, but you're in the Filipino equivalent of a taqueria. I'm glad that there servers to bring us food, because the place was so cramped it was almost impossible to move between the tables. We came here with a rather large group and ordered four platters. Not only did they manage to get our food cooked in a timely manner, but they managed to serve us pretty much simultaneously. I've been to more upscale places that can't manage to pull that off. The seafood platter was pretty amazing. You get shrimp, head-on grilled sardines so crispy you can crunch the heads and most of the bones in your mouth, and more. We were presented with ample bowlfuls of garlic rice to go with our platters. I was a bit disappointed in that the shrimp tasted a little overcooked, but they were still fresh and sweet. You must save room for dessert. Their ice cream choices are definitely unique and all very tasty, and their fried bananas... well let's just say I went bananas for them. I will be back - I have to try their breakfast, as that is where this restaurant gets its namesake. I will be bringing all my friends as well. read more

Unfortunately it wasn't a good experience at all...and I was so looking forward to this place because I heard so many good reviews!! Where do I start....6:30pm Sat night...I asked for 3 items and they were out of all 3 items....ordered the pancit, eggplant and crispy pata for dinner. Pancit was dry, crispy pata was tough like chewing on leather, can't go wrong with eggplant that's the only thing I did finish. We ordered sisig fries ($16.50) for appetizers mostly fries hardly any sisig!! Way over priced for that dish!! They ran out of lychee sangria, modelo beer and coconut ice cream on top of what they didn't have. 4 adults 2 kids and they charged us $30 gratuity on top of our bill because we were a party of 6. We didn't even have our own table...we sat with another party we didn't even know. On a good note, the server was always polite and friendly. I wrote my review on the way home from Tapsilog, and I feel I need to add this last part....when we got home, all 6 of us got sick. We all had different dishes, but the one thing we did have in common was the Pancit.....I know Pancit can go bad after a while and if they made a big batch in the morning, surely by 6:30pm the pancit probably spoiled if not refrigerated. What a disappointment this place was for me and my family. I will not be returning to this place....I'll stick to Kalesa in Milpitas for authentic Filipino food. read more

So good. The longsilog (Filipino sausage) is so delicious. Kind of reminiscent of the flavors of Taiwanese sausages -- sweet, but oh-so-much-juicier. I was a little appalled over the amount of grease on my plate, but all is forgiven given the tastiness of the food. The eggs, fried to perfection to yolky over-easy-ness, laid out over a bed of garlic rice? Yum. I had a bit of my friend's pork adobo, which was also quite good. Portions here are great. Large enough to satiate a hungry appetite. Pro tip: bring some gum. My breath felt garlicky for hours due to the intensity of the garlic rice, even after I ate the complimentary mint they gave us at the end of our meal. read more

Best part of the meal was the sisig fries!! The meat was so tender and flavorful. The Lumpia was decent. Unfortunately I wasn't a fan of the chicken adobo (one of my favorite Flip dishes)- the adobo sauce wasn't all that flavorful and the chicken was a bit dry. The most authentic part of the dishes was the silog plates-egg cooked over easy on top of garlic fried rice. The fried fish was pretty good and we topped everything off with always delicious mango and ube ice cream in the Halo Halo plus Calimansi mimosas. Overall it was okay! read more

I am so torn about this place. It came highly recommended by a friend and I thought the food was amazing. I just can't justify the 50 minutes we spent waiting for our food. The restaurant feels pretty cramped and they fit as many people as they can, but it's not a large place. They also seem fully staffed, both on the floor and in the kitchen, so I have no idea why it took 50 minutes to push out our fried chicken and sisig silog. Also kind of unusual, but it took them an abnormally long time to clean off our table and get us seated. This carried over to the people waiting in line behind us, who came in right before 11am and had to wait a very long time. So with all that being said about the service and the wait time, I'll move on to the food. Fried chicken portion was HUGE. I think they gave us 4 or 5 giant pieces of chicken. This with banana ketchup was delicious. The chicken doesn't come with rice though, so you might want to order some on the side. Sisig Silog was one of the best I've ever had. Their sisig was full of rich flavor and their rice and egg was a perfect complement to it. Portion was also large, so they're right when they say their silogs are hearty orders. I will probably revisit this place in the future. They nailed their silog dishes and it's a nice setting for family meals, especially if you like Filipino food. I'll probably have to plan out the time I come here though because that long wait was miserable. We got zero updates on our food and they checked on us maybe two times during that 50 minutes, but it's pretty awkward when they couldn't do anything to speed it up. Food was great, waiting was not. Try to avoid coming near peak meal times and you'll probably have a much better time. read more

The Crispy Fried Chicken was perfectly seasoned and very crispy. The pork lumpia was addictingly tasty. Service was very friendly. Highly recommend this place. I'll be back to try other items as the food came out fresh. The owner stopped by and said that all the food is cooked to order! read more

This place is a total hole in the wall mom and pop restaurant. I love Filipino food and I love mimosas and they have bottomless mimosas all week long yayy!!! The staff was very friendly and helpful. They recommended we try the lumpia and pancit noodles so we did just that. With an endless supply of champagne at a decent price we were certainly happy... Need I say more? I will definitely be back :-) read more

This joint alone made me want to move up North. I knew it was going to be delicious once I saw they had a food truck out front, it's the universal sign of these people know what they're doing. I had the pork adobe, and oh my lord I fell in love before the first bite. Everything else everyone got around me looked delicious but the pork was melt in your mouth slap your mama soft. THE BEST. This will undeniably be my spot whenever I'm in Campbell. I'm jealous of the people who live within miles of this restaurant. read more

Really nice and friendly restaurant with good service. It does get pretty crowded. I ordered the tocilog breakfast plate, which is a sweet marinated pork that comes with garlic rice and a sunny fried egg on top of the rice. They also gave a side of cucumber. I really enjoyed the tocilog. It was nicely sweet (not too overly sweet) and soft yet chewy. The egg was perfectly fried sunnyside up. When I placed my fork to break the egg, it was running like how it is supposed to be. However, since it is over hot rice, it does tend to cook the egg more so I suggest stirring it or break it to flow into the rice when you get it. I would order it again; however, the only thing disappointing was that they didn't give me a knife to cut up the pork. They gave me a long piece and I had to use my boyfriend's knife to cut it up into about 7+ pieces. The portions are big though for about $12.00! read more

Not sure if this was an off day, but left hungry today after lunch. I've been here once before at dinner time, and while it wasn't anything breathtaking, the food on our first visit wasn't bad. Today, however, was different. When I arrived around 1:30 or so, the place wasn't too busy. Refreshing myself with the menu (it's a bit busy looking and lots of "options" so take time to read before picking), I settled on pancit and noticed the lunch portion came with 1 meat selection in addition to the chicken already in the pancit. I settled longonisa sausage (accepting that I would likely be "tasting it" and smelling like it for the rest of the day). Waiter arrives and I'm then told they "ran out of pancit." Wait. How could you run out of arguably THE most requested Filipino dish (others I guess would be lumpia and adobo)? Sigh. So I settled for Kare Kare. I realize Kare Kare is difficult to cook "on order," so I get that the vegetables and meat would likely be par-cooked and then the peanut sauce to be added later. Mind you, the lunch portion price is $13.95! Yes. Once the dish arrived, I knew it was going to be bad. First, one could easily tell the dish was microwaved. There was no attempt to "mix" the stew and with the sauce kinda ladled on top, the dish was clearly not heated on a stove top. Plus, the sauce "broke," with the oil separating -- it looked, well, like left overs. I guess the worse part was I only got 3 pieces of beef. 3! For $13.95! I'm hoping that maybe the "second string" was cooking today and I will try again some other time. For lunch, however, I will likely not return. read more

This is the only Filipino restaurant I know locally, and it definitely hits the spot if you're looking for authentic Filipino comfort food. I ordered the ribeye steak with fried egg and garlic rice. The ribeye steak was huge, and the meal was about $17. This restaurant does not use MSG in their food, which I like. This place also has a bar and serves beer from Hawaii. I went to the market two doors down and got ube ice cream. It definitely tasted better than the Magnolia ice cream you buy at the store. If you have a party of 6 or more, they do charge you a 18% gratuity fee. read more

I'm a pinoy through and through so I'm familiar with filipino comfort food. I recently came upon this place through yelp and was craving a traditional filipino comfort 'silog breakfast. This restaurant had good reviews so I made myself down to this place. But I was very disappointed of the food taste. The 'silog breakfast that I got was bland in taste. I ordered the 2 meat plate (longanisa & tocino) and both meats were flavorless. It seems they over boiled the meats and all the flavor just boiled away. The garlic rice was just ok. The portion size was just ok. The vinegar dipping sauce seemed watered down to me and tasted a bit funny. The service was very slow. Sorry, I don't think I will be coming back to this place even though I only tried one entree dish but still this should have been so basic. As they say, you only get one chance to make a first impression and to me it wasn't good. read more

Always wanted to try this place. Went Sunday for brunch. Lots of food choices, almost too many. Had the rice, eggs and BBQ pork and chicken skewers. My friend had the Mackarel. We also ordered the bottomless mimosas. My food was tasty and flavorful. Hers was as well. The mimosas were another story. They brought us a bottle of Brit champagne, a carafe of orange juice and 2 glasses so we could make our own. The "orange juice" had an obvious "orange drink" color. It was super sweet and quite honestly made the mimosas undrinkable. $16 for bottomless is about aberage, but the quality of the mimosas was horrific. Staff was super nice. Overall 4 stars for food and 0 stars for mimosas. Go for the yummy food. Skip the orange drink mimosas. read more

Friendly service, menu full of classic filipino dishes and some new creative fusion items too. Ambiance and memorabilia was cool to check out. Loved that they had literally every type of sauce/condiment you would need in a filipino household right at your table (banana ketchup, mang Tomas, vinegar etc) Good selection of beer/cocktails too! Definitely try the calamansi mimosa. We'll be back to try out the sisig fries next time! read more

Tried this place at breakfast hours & ordered one of their platter menu..the seafood platter to be exact. It's good for 2 people & portion isn't that bad. My husband & my mother thought it wasn't as good as the other Filipino restaurant we are accustomed to because there was none of the highly salted & dried selections that a "Bilao" normally offers. But I liked it because I thought it was a very clean eating spread (and gluten free) considering it's a "pinoy" taste which is traditionally salty, greasy & cholesterol-y kinda food. Service is fair. Staffs were pleasant. Atmosphere is very laid back & nice. read more

I came here for a Saturday lunch and it wasn't too busy... but busy enough. When you roll up to the place you might be thinking, "Dude, this is mad sketch." There's even one of those sketchy Asian massage places a few doors down. But anyways, in broad daylight it was alright. The place was decorated out right. Almost an island feel in terms of the decor.... like eating at a beach. The food was alright too. Unfortunately, the namesake dish is not that good, but everything else is good. Legit Filipino food is already kind of hard to find. This is definitely legit. So if you love rice, eggs, some other meat, etc. you gotta go all in on this place. The service is definitely good stuff to report about. The bar area is small, but definitely a good place to sit and chat. Overall, you gotta come back... sketchy back area or not... read more

It's like a tradition for my boyfriend and I to eat here whenever I'm visiting him from SoCal. I've only been here twice and each time I've came here I have always been pleased. Every visit, I try to order something different and basically everything I've tried here is very good. So far I tried the tortang talonsilog, sisig, bangsilog, and tocino. ALL DELISH (however, my fav is the bangsilog). They're portions are good in size and their prices are very reasonable. Don't forget to order calamansi mimosas with your meal as well ;) The setting is perfect for a large party or a party of two. The set up of the restaurant accommodates for all. The customer service is great, and staff and management are very hospitable as well. :) I can't wait to try a new dish for my next upcoming visit! read more

I came into eat this morning and it was not consistent at all. My garlic rice was cold and there were a lot of black left overs from the skillet on my rice under my eggs. They didn't have the cucumber salad flavored or anything. Service sucked! My usually waiter was not there. I don't think I will be coming here often anymore. I'm so disappointed. read more
