    Special mami (siopao not in the picture) and Pakbet Con lechon kawali.
    Francisco Q.

    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.

    The food was amazing with friendly staff. The ambiance was relaxing. We got everything we need and we want to come back

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

    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.

    Pork sisig with rice

    Food here is amazing! Love the pork sisig with rice! Service here is well with everyone being friendly. It's a cute little restaurant and I would come here again for sure!!

    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.

    I would say one of the most authentic filipino food in the bay area Prices are way cheaper compared to other filipino restaurants yet the taste is superb

    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 :)

    Pancit Malabon w/  Lechon Kawali
    Michele T.

    Finally got a chance to check this place out. The menu they have posted in the shop is not everything they have available. Their online menu noted additional items and combos. Went with the Pancit Malabon w/ Lechon. Maybe about a 10 minute wait for the order to be ready. May not look like a lot but it was quite filling. The lechon was crispy and not too fatty - only wished I had the soy vinegar sauce to go along with it. The pancit was good but maybe an additional lemon wedge would've been good.

    We both ordered something off the Merienda menu. The Malabon BBQ Shanghai was excellent. The Malabon was tasty, saucy, and had a bunch of different (yet pleasing) textures. The goto-tokwa't baboy combo is always a favorite. I really enjoyed the tripe in my goto. I think my favorite part was the crunch bits of chicharron and fried garlic as garnishes. They were really generous with it. The people were so kind. You do have to bus your own table, but there wasn't much going on so they took over for me in bussing my table. I would like to go back and try the Dubai halo-halo

    Ordered a party tray of lumpia for thanksgiving. Everything about the process was smooth. Order was set for 10 am. Picked it up at 10:30 and it was all ready to go. In fact, the lumpia was the biggest hit! It was all gone halfway throughout our time together. Everyone who had a few pieces loved it. Will be my go-to for lumpia in the future

I got their Lechon Kawaii, pork adobo and garlic rice. All silog's comes with garlic rice or white rice and an over easy egg. You can add tomato for $2 extra (two sides combo upgrade is $3 more) I loved their Lechon sooooo tender and crispy paired well with the side of white vinegar or the brown sauce! We shared their sizzling sisig which was great per my cousin but I think it was a little dried without the egg? We got the combo of pork and chicken. Shared a Poncit Bihon, I always said more lemon the better but it was ok? I will try other other noodles dishes next time.

When the fish arrived, it was not very greasy which was fantastic. More than anything else, the customer service was above par.

Silut Bilao #4: There were only 4 of us, so we didn't get the big dish with "Fight" in the name. There was so much here that no one had to fight for their food. I really like the Misua Soup we start with, had a nice chicken flavor and silky noodles. The main platter had so many fun and delicious items. The Crispy Pata was probably my favorite, so crispy and delicious, especially with the various dips. The Longganisa was another highlight with a cross-sectional cut that enabled a lot of surface area to be nicely charred. The Chicharon was another highlight since it both crispy crunchy skin and some softer meat + fat. The Grilled Liempo had the strongest charred grill taste. Everything else was nice too, just too many to enumerate. For dessert the mixed halo halo with ube ice cream was the best. So many great flavors and textures together at once.
