    Menu prices for peanuts that are on the other side of the counter
    Lynnelle E.

    My family and I have been waiting for this place to open for a while now. The long awaited what is Willie's at the old KFC? My first visit here, and I was happy to be helped by Willie the owner himself. They had owned Hapag that was previously in St. Francis Square. We also, had the the pleasure of dealing with him there for a reception before. It was pretty busy when I had visited and there is a small seating area for dine in. It's similar to the layout od KFC that was previously there. They had ready made food and you can order combo plates. I was very thankful that Willie had taken the time for customers to try a sample of some of the items they had to offer. It was my first time trying dinakdakan. It was tasty but when I saw the menu I wanted to try the pork sisig. I ordered: 1. Combo menudo and dinuguan- I highly recommend both items. I think the dinuguan is offered daily? I forgot, I'm a little late to post my review. Both dishes were very tender and flavorful. The rice was cooked perfectly. 2. Pork sisig- This is cooked to order. I had high hopes for this, sadly it was a little too salty. I had to doctor this the next day and add some calamansi. 3. Butter toffee peanuts- This is addicting, once you start you can't stop. The texture reminded me of the nagaraya peanuts my dad used to love eating all the time. 4. Bibinka- Willie had me sample this and to be honest I was ready to buy it before the sample. It looked perfectly baked like it was smiling at you, telling me to take it home lol. It was soft and delicious. I did not want to share the 4 pack. Yes it was that good.. This place is open for turo turo (point point) ready cooked food Tuesday to Friday. 10am-6pm. Saturday and Sunday is open only for catering. I can't wait to come back and try their specialty, the lechon cebu. I'm not sure why the rating is low but I definitely recommend supporting your local Filipino community.

    Weekdays Only: 2 Item Plate - Dinuguan (pork blood stew) + Cebu Bellychon (roasted pork belly) w/ rice, pancit | $16.50

    Uncle Willie has that good good. Lechon Cebu that is. Opening late February 2025, Willie's Catering & Restaurant took over the old KFC. The owner, Willie is from Tastebuds (San Bruno) which is known to have some of the best lechon in the Bay. My sister had their whole lechon catered for her wedding. Willie used to run his catering business at a nearby ghost kitchen and this is his first brick and mortar. This is mainly a catering business since he's not trying to compete with surrounding pinoy sit down restos. Open for takeout and very limited indoor dining (4 tables to fit 12 peeps). M E N U Filipino Cuisine - over 60 items available for catering in half tray, full tray, and deep tray sizes. WEEKDAYS ONLY: Turo Turo (six items in their steam trays) and Cebu Bellychon/Lehin Cebu by the pound. They also have desserts: turon (banana lumpia), bibingka (coconut rice cake), puto/kutsinta (steamed rice cakes), etc. Weekends are catering only with no prepared foods. Currently, 1-item plus rice/pancit: $12.50 and 2-items plus rice/pancit: $16.50 (they lowered their prices from their opening). Cebu Bellychon/Lechon Cebu is $21.50/lb. F O O D * 2-Item Rice Plate: Dinuguan + Cebu Bellychon/Lechon Cebu w/ half rice, half pancit ($16.50) - Dinuguan is a pinoy stew made with pork (and sometimes innards) simmered in pork's blood. I know this may not sound appetizing but it's so delicious. The dinuguan is rich and savory with a nice tang and garlicky flavor (not metallic-y). The morsels of pork was tender, not fatty. Not heavy or overly salty. - Cebu Bellychon/Lechon Cebu is a deboned pork belly stuffed with aromatics and slow roasted. The skin was crispy and crackly like glass while the meat was tender. Nicely rendered so it wasn't fatty. Served with their housemade mang tomas [liver] sauce with a sweet tang and their punchy atchara (pickled papaya). - Pancit Bihon: Solid with lots of crisp cabbage and carrots for health. I like that the vermicelli noodles still had a nice bite to them. - Rice: Properly cooked. Great value and portion, as the 2-item plate can feed two, if you're not too hangry. Purchased the following for a friend's family: * 2 lbs of Cebu Bellychon/Lechon Cebu ($21.50 x2) * 1 Large Box of Rice ($8) S E R V I C E Welcoming, kind service from the owner, Willie. As I was leaving, he thanked me and kindly opened the door for me. The aunties are still getting a hang of things so it took quite a while to put together my order. They apologized and gave me a side of comforting Misua Patola, silk squash soup with rice vermicelli-like noodles. A M B I A N C E Low-key, small space with 4 tables. P A R K I N G They have their own private lot with about 10 parking spaces. Overall, I really enjoyed the food at Willie's and thought the taste and quality was a step above other turo turo style restos. I also appreciate that the food wasn't too heavy or too salty. If you find yourself in the top of the Daly City area on weekday, give Willie's a try. It's a good way to sample their offerings before committing to a large catering order.

    A new Filipino Restaurant In Daly City with Great food and excellent service. The owner Willie is a veteran in the food industry. The place is clean and relaxing. The Cebuchon with their own special sauce and acharra is delicious. The dinuguan was well made and perfect. The bibingka is delightful. I highly recommend that you visit them and try their cuisine.

    This was so yummy!!!! It was our first time going to the new location and it didn't disappoint. Not in the picture was Pesang Isda soup, which was on point! The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely come back!!!!

We got a table of eight one hour before closing time. Our server told us last order was at 6:45 since the cook had to leave early for another gig. They used to close later at night years ago. We had our usual chick-boy combo sisig, grilled liempo, tapa and garlic rice. Our friends embellished our spread with ginataang sitaw at calabasa (beans & squash in coconut milk), bam-i pancit, chicharon bulaklak (ruffle fat) and lechon kawali. Vinegar based sawsawan and Mang Tomas made this feast even better. We all had water because we were binge eating that weekend. Another large party satisfied at Chibogs. Can't wait for our next get-together here.

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.

While the big shared feasts are fun, I was kinda curious about the specialty dishes (e.g. sisig) that were more of an à la carte experience. 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.

The lechon was BAD, as in the worst I've ever had. It was moist and the skin has a small crunch to it, but to the nose it was VERY odiferous and the taste...SUPER gamey.

Not many great things I can say about this place. We did have drinks...sago't gulaman. I mainly got it because of what was in it, but also because it said it was "refreshing." I don't know...maybe my idea and their idea of refreshing are different. It was good, but SOOOOO sweet and sugary. Yes, I know it says brown sugar in ingredients, but I didn't think it would be made mainly of it. That is definitely not my type of refreshing. Servers were very nice and friendly. And the food came out relatively fast. I guess the questions is would I ever go back? Probably not. Maybe for starbread, but for Filipino food? There are SO many other better places out there. Maybe we caught them on a bad night but...yeah sorry...no thanks
