Came out in a sizzling platter with an egg and diced peppers topped with a red Thai? chili. It gets crispy as it sits and combined with the garlic rice is chef's kiss. Taro Leaves Sautéed in Coconut Milk 3/5 - not my cup of tea, it's a little bit on the heavy side, has a strong coconut milk flavor. Wasn't exactly my cup of tea. Palabok Overload 3/5 - was excited for this since I really enjoy Jollibee's Palabok. However, this dish lacked flavor. The sauce was lacking in flavor, it was not as shrimpy or seasoned as Jollibees. Combined with the noodles, it tasted even blander. The lumpia, calamari were good tho. This was a small restaurant but service was good. Food came out fast and staff was friendly and attentive.

The tinapa was smoky and flavorful, and the bistek was tender with the perfect balance of savory and tangy flavors. The garlic rice and egg tied everything together perfectly.

If you're in Elmhurst and looking for authentic Filipino breakfast or comfort food, I definitely recommend giving Renee's Kitchen a try. I've been coming here for over 10 years and I live over an hour + up north and I always travel for Renee's

In the middle of all the conversations, I grabbed my drinks and accidentally left my pastries on the counter. I didn't realize it until much later! I quickly sent them a DM, and they responded right away, telling me to come back the next day for fresh replacements. That level of kindness and customer service is rare these days. The team at Kora Bakery has always been amazinghumble, welcoming, and genuinely appreciative of their customers. I've been supporting them since their pop-up days, and experiences like this are exactly why I'll continue to do so. Beyond the delicious baked goods, it's the people behind the bakery that make it such a special place. Well, that said I did try their new pastry which is spam and cheese and delicious. Reminds me of Hawaii. Thank you for your hospitality and generosity. Wishing you continued successyou've earned a customer for life! #korafortheculture

Famous for its charcoal-grilled skewers and communal Kamayan platters, the restaurant delivers an authentic, down-to-earth dining experience. The sweet-and-savory grilled pork and chicken skewers are undisputed crowd-pleasers. They are caramelized to perfection and pair beautifully with garlic rice. The restaurant offers multi-person platters served on banana leaves. It's a great, interactive way for groups to try a variety of meats and seafood. Beyond the grill, fans frequently praise the crispy pata (fried pork knuckle), lumpia(spring rolls), and kare-kare (oxtail in peanut sauce). Widely considered one of the most reasonably priced spots for quality Filipino cuisine in the borough. The dining room is located on the second floor. It has a lively, casual atmosphere that often features loud music. While many diners highlight the friendly and humorous service, online reviews show mixed opinions about customer service, with some visitors citing occasional long wait times or abrupt interactions at the takeout counter. Still, it is a pleasant place to have a meal when opting for Filipino food.

I'll get to the food itself in a second, but I wanted to praise their menu. In many Filipino restaurants in Manhattan, you'll get the party foods: the lumpia, the adobos, the pancits. But a great Filipino restaurant offers meals beyond the crowd-pleasers, from regional dishes like monggo, lomi, and inasal. I was pleased to find lechon paksiw here, a dish I don't often see in many Filipino restaurants. It was delicious and so was the lomi my friends and I ordered for the table. The prices were just right. Affordable for the amount of food you get. The staff was friendly and gracious: a girl from our party was running late yet they waited for her to arrive before taking our order and didn't rush us to finish.
