    Ubereats delivery of whole chicken is really good. Their palabok is the best. BBQ is a little bit sweet but over-all go for chicken

    Yum!!!!

    A simple lunch run turned into a little trip from San Francisco to Daly City! I wanted to introduce my daughter to Filipino food. Glad we stopped by Kadok's! Filipino food I remember growing up in SoCal. The small entrance leads into an ample dining area with plenty of seating. Delicious beef, lumpia and saipo! The food and sauces are filled with amazing flavors. Recommend and we will be back.

    I got the bangus with shrimp paste and it was super filling and good. Honestly one of the best bangus variations I've tried! The service was decent and the ambiance of the resturant wasn't too pleasant as the space was a bit small. Although I understand since it's a small business.

    Kadok's brings me so much joy and nostalgia. I'm glad they're still up and running, even at their new location in Daly City. The ambiance is very cozy yet warm. My mom and I ate here for an early dinner, and there was adequate seating. I ordered a Chicken Mami with Pork Asado Siopao while my mom opted for a Pancit Malabon plate with Pork BBQ and Lumpiang Shanghai. We received our orders in less than 10 minutes for dine in. The mami was flavorful and the noodles were fresh and not soggy. The siopao was moist, sweet, savory and tender. I tried a bit of the pork bbq and it still tasted great like the first time I tried it 20+ years ago. The Gulaman Sago was not too sweet, but the sago pearls could've been fresher on my next try. Kadok's is truly my go-to place for their pork barbecue, chicken mami and more for all occasions!

    Just got done eating. We ordered 2 arroz caldo for this rainy weather. The arroz caldo was very delicious. Came out steaming hot. Definitely made for Cold and rainy weather. Portion was huge for the price. Per order it's $8.25. Love how they top it with chicharron and their big pieces. Little bummed out they didn't have my fav -- goto. But that's okay. Arroz caldo will do just fine! Wonderful and fast service. Order came out less than 5 mins after ordering. Also, that's like me you get the headache and shit. The establishment is very clean and well kept. They work super hard here. Love coming here. This is the house of best Goto and Arroz caldo.

    Great place to have some feel good Filipino food. With the usual classics to some more robust and hearty dishes, it feels like home cooking and definitely enjoyable. I did notice that my beloved Dinuguan was not offered and another soup-like dish, boo!! But other foods are well made and yum! Order from the kiosk and sit down in the self seating area--it's rather small and compact. You'll need to bus your own table and maybe clean up after the previous patrons--but I feel like most orders are probably to go? Service was what you'd expect at a fast casual joint. And I love seeing Filipinos of all generations (mostly the older generations) spend time here eating porridge and soups. Parking in the big open shared lot outside.

    Service is kind, but slow to clean the tables as we wanted to sit and eat. Food is good. Love that the goto came out so hot! Everything tasted good, just that the bbq was kind of tough to eat.

    Nice fast food spot, reasonably priced, good taste, and decent serving size. Staff is nice and they have fun entertaining food videos playing.

    Whenever I'm craving for a mami-siopao meal The Original Kadok's is my go to place, reasonable prices for an amazing "met my expectations" food. Highly recommended, been coming here for decades.

    So good! It takes me back to the comfort of my Lola's cooking. Service was quick and easy where you order at the counter. Restaurant is really small and can only sit about max 50 people or a little less. But that's okay. I'm only here for the food which hit the spot :)

I happened to be in Daly City recently and made a stop here to pick up some skewers. Found street parking around the corner. Fil-Am is a take-away restaurant with a menu consisting of BBQ chicken and BBQ pork skewers, panic, shanghai lumpias and turons. I wanted to get BBQ pork skewers and got to the last three that were in the tray. They were also out of the chicken skewers. But the chef was busy cooking as the grill was loaded with pork and chicken skewers. Not wanting to wait, I was happy that I got the three skewers. Many good-sized pieces of juicy pork make up each skewer. Generous portions. I enjoy the Filipino BBQ pork flavor as the sauce on it has a sweet taste to it. At $4.25 a skewer, it is reasonably priced. Will stop by again for these delicious pork skewers again when I'm in the area.

Once we got a spot, while walking up to the restaurant you can smell the BBQ aromas from around the corner so we were getting excited just walking to the restaurant! Ordered Fil-Am special 2 BBQ skewer items with Pancit (noodles). Skewer options are BBQ Chicken or BBQ pork. We got one of each. They also have a ton of other Filipino specialties on the menu but looks like they are for larger party tray orders. Lumpia, Menudo, Adobo, Kare Kare etc. There's also a couple dessert items Turon, Bibingka, Biko, ube, maja blanca and Cassava to name a few. Took dinner home and chowed down. The BBQ pork was fantastic, tender with great BBQ flavor. The chicken was a bit charred and dry (took off one star) but was tasty. BBQ sauce was sweet and savory. The pancit was delish! overall a great cost effective meal and worth trying
