I would like to preface that I have been to Liberty Public Market a few times before and everything has been mediocre. So my expectations were low. However, White Rice was amazing! I ordered the Lechon Kawali. The pork had super crispy skins with juicy and succulent meat. The garlic rice was super flavorful. The green onions on the rice was a nice touch. The fried egg was perfectly cooked. And the veggies (onions and pepper) balanced everything really well. It also included a sweet sauce to top. I think I have found my go to when I visit Liberty Public Market. I highly recommend White Rice if you're in the area. read more

We came here Easter and had the Lechon kawali. The pork was small and very hard. The rice was also hard and had very little garlic flavor. I didn't know it doesn't come with egg anymore. The picture on the menu shows the egg and what a disappointment. This place used to be my go to spot when in the area but not anymore. The only thing good was the sauce. read more

My opinion is that if you're going to charge the equivalent of what it would cost to purchase the ingredients to make a quantity of 5 to 7 meals then the expectation needs to be set. Cleanliness seems to be an issue at this place As well as the lack of authenticity, not to mention the expectation to provide a gratuity for less than desirable service. This place is still young, but with hopefully with some constructive criticism it can and just might evolve. read more

I'm so happy to see my culture represented in the Liberty Public Market! Come here to get your filipino food fix! I'm very familiar with the dishes served here and it hit close to home :) they have a few choices for rice bowls with egg (silog) and other smaller sides (pulutan). My favorite dish is sisig (diced and fried pork belly with spicy and citrus flavors), but they were out of stock when I visited (we stopped by an hour before they close, I assume they have it earlier in the day). food ordered - lechon kawali: this is strips of crispy pork belly. the bowl looked small but was actually filling. it came with garlic rice, egg, pickled carrots & radish & chilis, and a side of sweet gravy sauce. The pork belly is tender and crispy and SOO rich and delectable!!! this is not for the health-conscious or faint of heart! the garlic rice is STRONG by the way, could be considered too strong if you're not a garlic fan. - longanisa: sweet pork sausage with garlic rice, egg, pickled carrots & radish & chili, and vinegar dipping sauce. very delicious and filling! Overall, this is a great place for filipino food! The bowls and prices for other items might be a little expensive for what you get, but I think its worth it. read more

Known for Filipino food, this is a fairly new stand located in the middle of the liberty public market. You order at the counter and they give you a buzzer for when your food is ready. There isn't really any seating indoors but plenty outside surrounding the market. I got the mushroom and tofu sisig which comes with calamansi vinegar, boonie peppers, red onion and garlic rice. It was a pretty good amount of food for $13 and all the ingredients were tasty. You could really taste the tang from the vinegar and the onions added a nice crunch. My only knocks on it are that it ate really salty and one note. I think I would have liked something to cut through the tanginess or maybe something sweet to contrast how heavy the dish ate. read more

White Rice is one of my favorite vendors in the Public Market. They have elevated Filipino bowls and treats. The Tocino Manok is my usual go to. It's got garlic rice on the bottom with grilled chicken and a runny egg on top along with vinegary radish and veggies. If they have them, I also highly recommend the ube pandesal. It can go quick sometimes, but it's so good! Even if you haven't tried Filipino food before, all the dishes are delicious and there's something for everyone to enjoy. read more

I'm so glad the Liberty Public Market has a Filipino food vendor! That being said, I enjoyed White Rice's versions of the traditional Filipino dishes. I tried the Chicken Tocino and the Sisiglog Bowl and what I expected was something more authentic/traditional but what I got was something also tasty and enjoyable. The sisig was basically just chopped up lechon kawali but the crunchy/crispy pork was delicious. The Chicken Tocino was basically bbq chicken with an ever so slight sweetness to it. The char was done nicely though so despite not having the traditional, stronger pineapple, garlic and brown sugar flavors....there are no complaints from me! Still a flavorful dish. This being at the food hall, the lines can get long so expect a bit of a wait. If you can hold off your hunger, it's definitely worth the wait :) read more

White Rice - Sisiglog Bowl and a side of Chicken Tocino - Filipino Near Me - San Diego, California

It's neat to see a Filipino vendor at the Liberty Public Market. Parking at the Public Market can be busy and I usually opt for parking closer to Slaters/Con Pane. White Rice has a neat variety of appetizing Filipino dishes which is great for those who haven't had Filipino food to try this when coming to the Market. The first time I came I ordered the Lumpia Shanghai and Ube Milk Tea. The lumpia was delicious and came with 6 pieces. This was fresh and hot, and had a good crunch and yummy filling. The Ube Milk tea was also terrific. The second time I came by was yesterday and I ordered *Tocino Manok* and also tried the *Lechon Kawali*. These breakfast bowls were very tasty and lots of flavor. I also like the sauce they came with which turns it up a notch. The garlic rice was was great and the pork belly was had a good crisp and juicy flavors. The chicken was also outstanding and enjoyable with the fried egg and veggies. I also tried their ube pandesal which comes with ube dipping sauce. This was unique as I've never had the ube spread/pandesal combo before so neat to customize and spread it for more ube goodness. For drinks I decided to try their Calamansi Iced Tea on my recent trip which was fantastic. Overall, 4 stars and looking forward to returning to try their other menu items. read more

We decided to order from White Rice as we LOVE lechon and can't seem to find good lechon in Phoenix. The line was long (5-6 people in front of us) which we took to mean that the food is good. The service, as mentioned by others, is incredibly slow. We must have waited in line to order for at least 20 minutes and another 30-40 minutes for food. We assumed it was because it was a Sunday, however, I wonder if they are just short staffed? There were 3 people working; 2 working solely on food and 1 guy multitasking between taking orders/preparing food. Admittedly he did not smile/was not very customer service-y as he was taking our order but we were fine with it. Was the Lechon Kawali ($14) worth the wait? If I were a San Diego resident, probably not; I'm sure I could find lechon elsewhere for less and quicker. On an average day with no line? Yes, definitely worth a try! The garlic was infused nicely into the rice and gave it a little something extra to ordinary white rice. The fried egg on top was cooked well and the runny yolk added a nice saltiness to the dish. There were 4 large pieces of lechon; crispy skin sandwiching the tender and fatty meat in the center. The bowl could have done with more pickled veggies and a larger dipping sauce. read more

The food is super good. But I struggled with a long wait time and it was a little difficult finding the slot inside. The prices are a little high, but the staff is super helpful in recommendations. read more

So disappointed in the ube pandesal! It looks so good in the picture on the menu but it was basically just Hawaiian bread rolls with a purple color. I didn't taste the ube at all. They took the premade bread to a kitchen next to them to heat it up (a little overdone I thought, dry and hardened quickly) and provided sweet purple butter with it. Genuinely though, just buy some Hawaiian bread rolls at any grocery store and heat them up in your microwave or toaster oven and it would be better. read more

Eating at Liberty Station is an adventure. You never know what restaurants will disappear or what will take its place. White Rice recently opened and I tried the lechon kawali. Egg was a mix of textures from the hard white and the gooey yolk. Nice flavor. Rice was mild flavored. Could have used a bit more moisture as it was a bit hard. Lechon kawali had a very crunchy layer of skin, a soft fat layer and the bottom meat layer was a bit dry and crunchy. I enjoyed the fried flavor but I would prefer less frying time and a more juicy pork. Good lunch size bowl but for dinner I'd order something to go with it. I visited after lunch. The staff was nice and my order came out quick. For a place named White Rice I wasn't wowed by the rice. read more

I usually just get my Filipino food fix at parties, so I was glad that there was a spot that opened up in Liberty Public Market. My friend had already came here before, but it was my first time here, about two weeks ago. Since this was our third stop of the day, we weren't too hungry anymore, so we only ordered the tocino manok to share. We were bummed that they didn't have ube pandesal though. I spotted a calamansi iced tea drink that looked interesting while waiting for our bowl. Our food was made to order and took a really long time- approximately 30 minutes! The tocino bowl was quite tasty and the egg was perfectly cooked. The grilled chicken was very flavorful and garlic rice was delicious! I can't wait to try other items on the menu, but hopefully the wait for food won't be as long. read more

Overpriced. Garlic sauce was way too salty and bitter. It looks like the cook did not even taste what they were making and serving.

I came to Liberty Public Market before the start of the recent July holiday weekend to specifically visit White Rice. The complex was packed with people which was good to see. This Filipino cuisine vendor took over one of the center stalls and had been in development for numerous months, maybe even over a year. Silog (fried garlic rice bowls), Noodles, Pulutan (snacks), Dessert (Leche Flan), and Drinks were the menu categories. My picks were the Longanisa from the Silog and the Filipino Spaghetti from the Noodles. Sweet pork sausage, atchara pickles, and a fried egg accompanied the fried garlic rice. There was also a small cup of vinegar-based sauce. This breakfast bowl of sausage and egg was hearty and flavorful. Egg noodles, hot dog bolognese, fresh herbs, and queso de bola made up the spaghetti bowl. I loved the sweetness in the bolognese sauce. It reminded me of how my parents would put sugar in the tomato sauce when they made spaghetti for dinner. The crispy pork belly in the Lechon Kawali sounded so good, but I am going to save that for a future visit. The food took about 15 minutes to prepare which was not too bad given the steady flow of customers they had. I enjoyed both items enough to give a four star rating for White Rice. read more

Stopped by here cause I wanted to support Filipino Chef's. I ordered the Pork Sisig and it was to my liking. I loved the spiced vinegar taste. My friend wanted to try the Ube Pandesal but they were out. The only negative is it took long to get our order. Maybe 20 Minutes. Will I return? Absolutely. read more

How do you screw up pork belly? This place figured out how.... Twenty minutes to get my food because the cook was flirting with his girlfriend. She had ordered but he took a lot of time with her and her friend's food. I had ordered the same thing and he certainly didn't take that much care with mine. That said, I'd have expected it to be hot. The rice was cold. The pork belly was rubbery and overcooked. It also had a very slight off taste... the whole dish really lacked flavor. It looks nothing like the picture on the menu... not even close. He fried cooked pork belly, cut it, then re-fried it... I think it may have come out better being warmed in a microwave. It looked ok... but I ended up throwing most of it away. Wife tasted it and she was not a fan either. Go to the Empanada place across from here. read more

An establishment that cooks with passion! Liberty Station Marketplace is a great place to try foods from all over the world, but this place in particular stood out to me. I have actually never had Filipino food before but have been always wanting to try. The only difficulty I have is how meat-heavy a lot of Filipino dishes are. Luckily, this place has a couple vegetarian options. I got the tortang talong with was a veggie omelette on top rice. I thought the combination of the flavors was super unique. There were pickled mushrooms, eggplant, and sprouts adorned on top. I absolutely loved how you didn't need any additional sauce to add flavor to it because it was so flavorful on its own! What I love about this place is how the chef puts care into each of his dishes. I noticed as he was meticulously sprinkling the vegetables to add to the presentation. It was a little extra, but I'm here for it. Yes, it makes the food takes a little time to come out, but I appreciate that it's done to make sure that everything is perfect. Overall, I would definitely come back here! Also, I truly admire their efforts to help out the community. For each meal purchased, a meal is donated to those in need. LOVE IT. read more

Yum! Yum! I am glad there is a Filipino food stall at Liberty Public Market! I heard someone complain it's overpriced, mmm, it's not in a janky strip mall or super greasy.. it's high quality type Filipino food. Also, I heard the service is hit or miss, but they were good to us. Anyways, moving on.. Ube pandesal with side of ube butter - bomb.. super fresh, not too sweet, salt flakes to add balance. Krispy lechon silog - super crispy fresh non-greasy lechon (pork belly) and a good serving of what is like garlic rice? It has green onions, some herbs and garlic. Pork sisig - loved it! Crunchy pork mixed with creamy sauce, red onions, and other herbs/seasonings. Lumpia - the only thing that was pretty standard tasting. But you can never go wrong with lumpia. They have mastered cooking Filipino food in a way that is neat, pleasing to the eye and not too overwhelming greasy. Will be back! read more

It's hard to keep up with the revolving food stalls in Liberty Public Market! This place just opened a few days ago and seems to be popular. What drew me in was the ube pandesal, so thought we'd try this place out. Besides the ube pandesal, we got the lechon kawali silog and pancit palabok. The portions aren't too bad. I'm used to getting a little more rice, but that's ok. The rice was seasoned (garlic rice) not just plain white rice. Liked the crispiness of the skin of the lechon, cuz you know that's like the best part! The pancit palabok had a nice flavor to it with ground pork mixed it. Be sure to mix everything so you get the flavors in each bite. Finally, the ube pandesal! I was so happy the score the last one! Otherwise, I would've been SO sad! It was like 12:30pm when we ordered, so if you're looking to order some, get there earlier. Of course, it would have been better if it just came out of the oven, but it's still good, nonetheless. It has a little of the ube jam filling and dusted with I'm not sure what. but it gives it an ever so slight salty finish which I really liked. Overall, I think this place is a good addition to the market and I hope it does well! read more

The best thing on the menu that I tried were the Ube pandesal. As a Filipino, maybe I'm a little biased. I tried their vegan sisig made with mushroom and although it did have the flavors similar to sisig, it was too sour and lacked that umami profile that usually comes with sisig. I also tried the longanisa and that was pretty good, but not the best I've ever had. It took a while for the food to be ready, but totally worth it since the Ube pandesal was freshly prepared and baked. The location is cool, and I will still go back to try the other menu items. read more

I was really really excited to try White Rice inside LPM. First, you know my absolute fave and go to is Asian food... gimmeee all the rice!!! Got there pretty early, before the lunch rush, around 11ish. The girl at the register was nice. I asked her between the lechon kawalii or the sisilog, which one would she recommend? I love pork belly, but sisig will always be my fave! She stated both are good but the sisilog was more flavorful... and so that is what I ordered. The dish came out in about 15 min and I was really excited to dig in. First, it was a hefty bowl, full to the top and was a great amount of food! The fried egg on top was perfect and who doesn't love a fried egg right? But the rest, I'm so sad and disappointed to say I didn't like it. The pork belly was good and crunchy and there was a good amount, but the taste just wasn't there. When I have sisig, I love the vinegar/acidic/citrus taste... the yummy contrast of the onions and chopped up herbs like green onions and cilantro against the fatty and meatiness of the pork. I didn't get that at all. It was rather bland. Not much taste at all. Also, the white rice (unsure if I was supposed to have gotten garlic rice or not) was still hard. I really wanted to like this and sadly, I just didn't. For $16, I felt like my dish should've been delicious and I would want to come back for more. Bummed out, but hey, at least I tried it and I know it's just not my fave. read more

Once that happy neon lit bowl of rice catches your eye, you'll find yourself greeted by smiles of staff ready to get your order started up. Think made to order dishes prepared carefully, while positive energy radiates into the waiting area. While you wait for your hot plate or quick dessert, take a stroll around Liberty market. Now for the yummy part. . . I love the food here! Fresh and so delicious! If you haven't had Filipino food before or you're looking for a nostalgic fix from your favorite Filipino kitchen, look no further. Get yourself into the market! My favorite reason to come here is for a snack, the ube pandesal with their special butter. These purple pillows of goodness are hot out of the oven, slightly sweet and extremely delightful. If you go with friends, remember this phrase, "I'm not sharing!" The vegetarian lumpia is crispy and bursting with flavor. Pinoy BBQ had the perfect balance of flavors without putting too much of anything on the plate. The last thing I'll say is plan to go home and relax after you stop here to eat because you'll need a nap after all the excitement on your palate read more

Came here as a group of 5, and shared the dessert family style. The wait for food was not crazy despite us having a larger order and there were two people working. We got the ube pandesal, which had a delicious ube jam that came with it. But the ube bread on its own tasted more like Hawaiian dinner rolls. We also got their ube cookies which were just okay. The lechon kawali I got was delicious, the pickled sides cut the greasiness and the sauce was delicious (either to dip your lechon in, or at the end I poured the rest of the sauce over the whole bowl I mixed up). I had a bite of the sisilog which was also good, but I felt it was slightly dry compared to the lechon kawali (more crispy bits and pieces in the bowl). I also got the calamansi tea, which was really refreshing! read more

The lechon kawali was three substantial pieces of crispy pork belly over, you guessed it, white rice. It was a visually appealing bowl; the colors of the egg yolk, peppers, and veggies popped (now I sound like I'm a judge on top chef... I wish). The pork belly was crispy as advertised and you cannot go wrong with a sunny side up egg on anything. However, my ube milk tea was a little too sweet. At 7pm on a Thursday they had run out of ube pandesal. There's plenty of outdoor seating. read more

White Rice - Sisilog - Filipino Near Me - San Diego, California

The cashier/helper was an awkward guy who made me feel very uncomfortable. He's short with glasses and at the time wore a headband. this incident was on a Saturday morning-afternoon if that's helpful. I ordered breakfast with my uncle. The guy was so dismissive and rude. He served the other customer and brought their food to their table next to me but when it came to my order, he slid it on the counter for me to get and walked away.. but he works in customer service. From that point we waved it off and tried to enjoy our brunch but he kept staring and making eye contact with particularly my uncle which created tension and for us to keep watch in case he would cause any physical altercation. I'm not sure if he was discriminating however we both are Filipino and were there because it's a Filipino owned restaurant... So I'm confused read more

Overall tasty food - got the sisilog, ube pandesal, and arnibal taho. Sisilog - the sisig, fried egg, and toppings itself were good. It says it comes with garlic rice, but it just tasted like plain white rice with fried garlic sprinkled on top. I wouldn't say it took away from the experience since the bowl itself still tasted good, but there is not enough garlic mixed into the rice for it to be considered true garlic rice IMHO. (I also like my garlic rice to be REALLY garlicky so it could just be a me problem) Ube pandesal - the pandesal itself was nothing amazing, but the ube butter is really what makes this yummy. Get a good dip of the pandesal in the butter and it's a delicious bite; otherwise the pandesal by itself is quite dry. I'd buy the ube butter alone just so I can dip other breads in it. Arnibal taho - I typically prefer my taho dessert to be hot but this cold version was pretty good (albeit it was SWEET AF so be aware). Since I don't have that much of a sweet tooth, I had to add water to make it less sweet/syrupy. My bf wanted to purchase some merch that he thought looked cool on their Yelp page, but the guys at the register said they didn't have any at the moment. However their online ordering page still shows a bunch of merch in-stock so that's something to be aware of in case you're ordering online. read more

What's with the attitude here? Their ube pandesal is great and very popular. But the last three times we've tried to get some (including right when they opened) it was "sold out". Since we keep missing it, we asked when is it usually available and the answer was "I don't know." And overall every time we've been here they just seem annoyed that you're bothering them. Looking at the reviews it looks like the shit attitude isn't uncommon, which is a shame. At least there are tons of other options in Liberty Station to eat at instead. read more

While not comparable to authentic Filipino food, I think they did a pretty good job. Located in the Liberty Station Market, they were one of the few stalls with long lines. The food took awhile and it seemed like the workers hadn't worked there long enough to get into a groove. Longanisa Silog: you can't really go wrong with longanisa. The sausages were the right kind of sweet that I like and the pickled vegetables was a nice touch that cut through the oilyness. Lechon Kawali Silog: comes with the all purpose sauce. I'm a big fan of pork belly but I felt like it wasn't as crispy as it could've been. Instead of crispy, the skin was more of a chewy texture. We ate it fresh too. Pork Sisig: you can taste the vinegar and calamansi with every bite. And just like the lechon kawali, the pork pieces with skin was chewy. Not the kind of texture I wanted but the flavor overall was pretty good. It doesn't come with any rice but it was better with rice. Pancit Palabok: I've had palabok before but theirs was really smoky. If it weren't for the smokiness, I would've enjoyed it more. It's hard not to compare these classic Filipino dishes to the restaurants that I like. It's a little pricier too. But I think it's the best stall in Liberty Station Market so if I'm ever in the area, I'll try some of their other dishes. But White Rice is not my first choice for Filipino food. read more

My first visit to White Rice was after smelling the aroma when we walked past and couldn't resist. We tried the lechon kawali and they were doing some weekly specials for Filipino American History Month (in October) so we also tried something less commonly seen, a beef soup called nilagang baka. I won't say I'm well versed in Filipino cuisine, this was the first time I've had this soup. If this review was based on one visit, it would easily be 5/5. It was one of the best lechons I've had - super crispy, not overly fatty, and savory. Paired with the pickles, it was easy to gobble up the whole bowl. And the beef soup was something else. It was so humble, felt like comfort food, something you'd want if you were feeling ill (like chicken soup for most Americans) I don't know how else to describe it. It was soo flavorful but also light. I wish it was on the permanent menu because it was obvious a lot of love and time went into the dish. I was very excited to come back when my family was in town to visit. Of course, I had them try the lechon kawali. This time, we were all disappointed. We didn't go at a busy time, with only a few customers waiting for food. And we also weren't in a hurry, but it looked like the employees were moving in slow motion. Seems like other reviewers have noted problems with the service as well. Since it's a open kitchen, you can observe everything that's happening. So we could see that two of the employees were not interested in preparing the food orders, walking around aimlessly, grabbing a drink, or prepping vegetables and what not around the area. One man was cooking a large pot of something else (not lechon). It took 20 minutes before someone started to assemble our lechon kawali. I was a bit frustrated, but reassured my family it would be worth the wait. Sadly, it was not. The pork was very very dry. We didn't want to eat it. The skin was a little crispy but mostly just chewy. The rice was not cooked well. We turned to dessert instead. I was intending on bringing the ube pandesal home, but since I didn't really eat the lechon, I decided to try the bread right away. It was okay. I can honestly make better (and I am no professional). Despite being very pigmented, it lacked ube flavor, even after spreading the butter. Same with the ube milk tea. It looked promising, but was mainly just sweet and not much else. I don't see myself returning. read more

Came here on a whim while going through San Diego. Its been a while since I had Filipino food, and the pictures on the menu looked good. I decided to order this to go since I wanted to bring it to the beach with my dog. After browsing the menu, I decided to go with the Lechon Kawali which is crispy pork belly, atchara pickles, an over easy fried egg, and garlic rice. After getting my order I went to the dog beach to dig in. The pork belly was simultaneously crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It was crispy enough for the texture but also soft enough to melt in the mouth. The garlic rice was my second favorite part as it was infused nicely throughout. The pickles gave it a nice sour flavor. It also comes with a mang tomas sauce to give it a little more kick of spice. Overall, it was delicious and i would order it again. A few years ago the dish was $14, but now its around $16, so prices have gone up. Though not as good of a value, its still worth getting. read more
