Dropped by during lunar new year. There were performances going on so quite loud and difficult to hear the lady to order. Not much for ambiance as it's just in a mini mall food court. I ordered the small beef pares & my date got the Lomi. Didn't take a picture of the beef pares because it was quite small & didn't look much like the pictures on Yelp. The soups were all super hot temperature wise. Try not to scLd your tongue. The Lomi was humongous! My favorite part was the crispy pork skin. Large serving of pork as well. A bit thicker texture of a broth but it was more than enough. Wait for food was a bit long. We waited for almost 20 minutes. Perhaps there were lots of to go orders. read more

So.. so bad. Didn't have half the menu available from food or drinks! Actually they only had one drink available. Ended up getting the Ilocos Bagnet because it was basically all they had (really wanted pancit/noodles). Pork was dry and didn't come with enough sauce considering it was rice underneath. Only one person was working. They were apologetic but unfortunately the experience was as sad as this mall was :( read more

Home style food packed with flavour. The food court vibe-no ambiance but the portion size and great customer service makes up for it. Your are going there for the food and they delivered. Can't wait to go again to try other items. The only true home cooked Filipino food I ever had was from my friend's mother-in-law. I truly miss her pancit and lumpia. Now I have found The Filipino Noodle Joint and happy again! My friend and I come Saturday evening. We didn't know what we wanted and they helped by asking questions to near down our choices. We ordered the Palabok Pancit and Baon Box pork belly. Both noodle styles were delicious. The pork belly was a bit dried for my taste but the vinegar sauce helped it. We also had the Buko Pandan and Ube Macapuno drinks-both not too sweet. We came hungry, got stuffed and also took some leftovers home. read more

Hi all! Being an asian of filipino descent, it pains me to write this review. But i believe honesty and constructive criticism should be used to get better and improve for the future. After hearing about this place in chinatown plaza, i just had to go see and try for myself. So ordered the longganisa with rice and egg. And had an order of palabok for take out. These 2 are classic filipino dishes, so to me, they will be a good barometer for me to gauge how authentic this place is. For food court prices, they can be a bit pricey. But most reviews on google and yelp have mentioned that they make it up for quantity. The longganisa with rice and egg, was NOT typical of a filipino bfast. First, the rice wasnt fried garlic rice. Next, the longganisa was cut in half and fried. This made it very dry, as all the juices have already dried up. Too bad bec they used ilocano longganisa. All the flavours vanished. As for quantity, its really 3 pcs whole longganisa cut in half to give the appearance of 6. But they packed the bowl with so much rice. Next the palabok. It was simply not good. Yes, it was packed to the brim, and lots of shrimp and egg were added and all the trimmings...but the sauce...which is the most integral part of the dish, was bland and out of flavour. It lacked the essence of the dish. The colours were great, but the taste was simply not there. The aromatic annatto flavours, as well as the smoky tinapa fish and pork flavours were all lacking. But what lacked in flavours was made up for initiative and excellent customer service. After speaking to the owners, i believe their intentions are pure and they are genuinely trying to provide good food. It is their first foray into the food service in vancouver, so yes, there will be growing pains and numerous adjustments to be made. Still worth a try and some of their other noodle dishes and fried pork looks really enticing. Cheers! Happy eating! read more

Ordered the ilocos pancit while I was in the area picking up cake since I noticed they were a new joint. 10/10 for value - the takeout box was packed to the brim and felt like a lot of food! The longganisa was quite tasy and I didn't feel like the noodles were too oily, and I thoroughly enjoyed the black pepper as it helped spice up the dish. Our only comment was the bagnet was more salty than we'd like and perhaps because it was prepared as takeout, it wasn't crispy anymore when we ate it at home. I would recommend eating this immediately to experience the fresh flavours and then requesting a takeout container for the rest (as you definitely won't be able to finish it all in one sitting!) Staff were friendly and quick to make my order. read more

A Filipino feast from here that we've been anticipating for months! So glad we finally got the opportunity to try this hidden gem in the city because all their food was delicious and satisfied with that home-cooked nostalgic feel. Highly recommend everything we got, especially the halo-halo with ice cream! That was the perfect dish to finish our meal with. Also, we aren't exaggerating when we say that their portions are HUGE! SISIG RICE BOWL ($15.99 CAD) Minced pork belly with chopped onions, chilies, green onion, and a fried egg over a bed of rice. TOCINO RICE BOWL ($13.99 CAD) Sweetened and cured pork belly with fried garlic and green onion served over a bed of rice and topped with a fried egg. BEEF PARES NOODLE BOWL (SM - $13.99 CAD/ LG - $17.99 CAD) Tender beef brisket stew on egg noodles in aromatic beef broth topped with fried garlic, cabbage, and egg. FAMOUS BREAKFAST BAON BOX ($15.99 CAD) A Filipino bento box filled with longganisa, tocino, beef tapa, eggplant omelette, garlic fried rice, pork spring rolls, and a fried egg. BUKO PANDAN COOLER ($8.99 CAD) A dessert drink that combines coconut and crew pine leaves. MELON-CANTALOUPE COOLER ($8.99 CAD) Refreshing milk drink with shredded cantaloupe and pearls.

My wife and I are visiting from Boston. She found this place while we were killing time at a bubble tea shop. Without a doubt this is one of the best meals I've had in Vancouver. The owners were very friendly and I appreciate their suggestion about ordering the Pandan drink. It was delicious and I loved that it wasn't too sweet. I ordered the pork adobo box and my wife ordered the palabok. The portions was extremely generous. Seriously I'm a big eater and I couldn't finish everything. The stir fired noodles in the pork adobo box was surprisingly good as it had an amazing sauce, good blend spice and perfect heat that made the noodles outstanding. The pork adobo was also amazing. I've cooked adobo before but there is no way I could cook anything as good as what I've eaten here. The palobok was also outstanding. Highly recommend everyone to check this place out! read more

Absolutely LOVED eating at this new filipino take out joint!!! My belly left happy with a large amount of food left over. Located inside the Chinatown Plaza, this food gives a feel of home with the obvious Illocos touch. I ordered the beef pares which is an appropriate size for 3 or 4 people as an initial app. Also got the lumpia (An absolute MUST), Filipino hot dog, a crunchy and cheesey experience (you just have to!!) And the Siaopao (So YUMMMM). You can eat your meal right at the food court, steps aways from the store front. I left with nearly an entire full bowl of soup. Totally worth a visit especially with the friendly service and the outstanding quality of food. Highly recommend and I'll be back for round 2! read more

The food was like a comfort food. The serving size was enough to feed a small family.

Some of the most original Filipino food I've ever had!!! Absolutely one of the best small Filipino eateries ever!!

I love this small Filipino store that sell authentic foods from the Philippines. I misssed Philippines by coming in here and looking at the foods from their menu. Yummm! I was craving of the noodle soup with bagnet but sadly they were out. I ordered chicken lomi instead to replaced and a beef pares. It's honestly my first time to eat beef pares and I freakin' love it. It's a sweet, soft beef stew with lots of rice... I suggest that they should put lots of sauce on this beef bowl so it's not dry when it comes from the fridge. But, still the taste was really good! This is located at the China town plaza. Pay Parking on the side. Food court closed at 6 pm and not allowed to eat inside anymore after that. A must- try! read more

Alright this place has tons of foodie / Instagram hype... so I was really excited to try this place. The owners are super sweet and lovely, but the food is on the opposite end of the spectrum. Not good at all... the noodles tasted like oily fast food noodles and the pork tasted super dry and hard; however, the sausages were good just a bit oily. To be fair, I haven't had a lot of Filipino food, so I am not sure if this is authentic or not - just not a fan at all. read more

Located in chinatown plaza, this food court noodle joint is really good for it's value. I ordered ilocos pansit which came filled to the brim. However, taste wise i didn't enjoy it. It was a bit too oily for me and couldn't taste anything else. The pork belly was good and crispy. That said, i am very unfamiliar with the filipino cuisine and my only reference points are the few filipino restaurants we have across the city. I will probably go back to try some more dishes like empanada before making my final opinion about this joint. read more

Decided to try this place cause I felt like Filipino food and the next best place is pretty far out. Place is nestled in the Heart of Chinatown so not too bad location wise. Located in a small centre with a lot of local restaurants Selection is like typical Filipino places. I ordered the pork adobo plate . Food was made to order so I took a while to get (25 min) but it was quite tasty and hearty! Pricing is a tad high but it is made to order so I guess that is expected. But there are other Filipino restaurants that do give more at better price (if looking from value perspective) GOOD PLACE THOUGHT IF IN MOOD FOR FILIPINO FOOD IN THE CHINATOWN AREA read more

I don't usually leave reviews but after eating at The Filipino Noodle Joint I have no choice. My meal was excellent! I had the pork Sisig, It came piping hot, full of flavour, crispy - it was really great! The only trouble with eating here is that I will want this dish again and again, and I risk the chance of missing out on their other great dishes. The owners are super friendly and really care about what they are doing, this is a must try when in Vancouver Chinatown. Way to go guys, keep up the fantastic work!! read more
