A coworker turned me on to Manila Grill ages ago and I unfortunately moved too far north to eat it regularly, but it is absolutely worth the trek. My partner lives nearby and had never had Filipino food before, so I suckered him into taking me. He too, is now a fan. The service is quick, this is not a fancy place. It's very in and out but there are plenty of tables to sit at. We ordered lumpia, pancit, and lechon kawali. The lumpia came incredibly hot and fresh. I'm absolutely OBSESSED with the pancit and fantasize about it often when I want comfort food. Get it with the rice noodles, texturally it's amazing. The broth it's in slaps and I could eat it for DAYS. The lechon kawali has huge portions and is very crispy. This trip I missed out on the halo halo but anytime I've had it here it's been on point and filled to the brim with goodies. To the owners - if you're reading this, I will pay money for your pancit recipe.
Manila grill and BBQ is a local Filipino restaurant tucked away in a shopping plaza. Once you enter, you're greeted with all kinds of savory smells of the food you're about to order! Inside is kept simple and very clean with ample room for seating. The dishes are all delicious and so flavorful. Make sure to try dishes off the breakfast menu which is only served from 10am-12pm!
Came for lunch time and the menu had a lot of options for meat, chicken, and seafood. I ordered the Pancit Canton with chicken and pork as I'm allergic to seafood. The portion was massive and it had a lot of meat and vegetables. It was a bit more wet than I'm used to but overall very flavorful. The restaurant felt very homey and the dishes were pretty authentic. I also got to try the Nilagang Baboy, Halo Halo, and some calamansi juice which were all delicious.
Went here to eat with some family as we love Filipino food. The service was good and got to us in a reasonable time considering how much staff they had. I really liked the ambiance and various pictures of the Philippines hanging in the restaurant. My favorite was the dessert, Halo Halo! Loved all the toppings it had and tasted great! Definitely recommend it for anyone that comes! I personally ordered the Kare-Kare which wasn't bad but also not my favorite. The flavor of the sauce was not strong enough in my opinion. I did get to taste the bbq skewers which were full of flavor and will order again if I get a chance to return!
Great service, small little place reasonable prices, and excellent food!! Can't wait to try more items.
My friends, and I found this cute, quaint restaurant after having Jollibee. We came here for the desserts, and they did not disappoint. This was my very first time having the oh so raved about Ube and Halo Halo and let me tell you I GET THE HYPE First off, I had the Ube ice cream. It came with two scoops and it was amazingly rich nutty and sweet, but not too sweet. I devoured those two scoops like nobody's business. Next I had the Halo Halo. And at first glance, it is very intimidating. It was huge and very colorful with the Ube ice cream, the jelly, the beans, the corn flakes and the Ube jam. I tried every component individually and to my surprise at the bottom of the cup, there were more ingredients such as bananas and sweet potatoes, I will say this dessert is full of surprises and surprisingly GOOD I thoroughly enjoyed both desserts at this establishment. I even got a little lesson from my Filipino friends about how these desserts originated, and all in all I would recommend Manila Grill and BBQ for the desserts! Hopefully one day I can come back and try their dishes
We came here for a late lunch today because of a review we saw on instagram. When we arrived the restaurant was packed with Filipino people, a good sign! We ordered what was recommended by Josiaheats which included the lumpia, pork sisig, kare kare and the pancit canton. The lumpia are good but not much different from any spring roll you'd get anywhere else. We also got the pork belly appetizer which was similar to Haitian griot and also included fried tofu and it was DELICIOUS. I sort of regret not going a bit more adventurous with the second appetizer and getting the baked seafood dynamite as that's one of my fave things to get on sushi nights. Of the three entrees we all agreed the pork was the best. There was a drizzle of a white sauce on top that was to die for. I don't know what it was but I could've drank it and wish it had more. The oxtail was cooked well but the stew has a smoky taste and the description said it would be peanut sauce so I was anticipating something sweeter? It was good but not something I'd order again. The pancit was a simple noodle , meat, veggie dish but was really good. We also tried the halo halo for dessert and boy was that ....different. It was so strange eating dessert with chunks of beans and potatoes lol. It turned into a weird slushy mess pretty quickly. I mean if you've never had it, it's fun to try new things but not something I ever need to have again. Service was fast snd pleasant and I'm glad we got to try something new!
Manila Grill and Barbeque is one of my favorites if I'm craving for Filipino food. I love their Tapsilog, (Tapa, Sinangag at Itlog, and the Longsilog (Longanisa, Sinangag at Itlog. I like the skewered pork barbeque and the tokwat baboy (crispy pork belly and fried tofu with soy sauce and vinegar) for appetizers. For vegetables I like Laing which is Taro leaves cooked in coconut milk with chili, pork and shrimp, and the Pinakbet which is stir fried asian vegetables with shrimp paste. Bicol Express which is spicy pork stew with coconut milk, Fried Rellenong Bangus (stuffed milkfish), Grilled Pusit (stuffed squid), Sweet and Sour Red Snapper are some of my favorite entree's. For dessert Halo Halo Special is a must have which is mixed fruits, sweet beans with shaved ice, evaporated milk, ube jam and leche flan. Great service and great food!
Great location for Filipino dishes. Was out traveling between cities and it had been a minute since I've had filipino food so I found this place. Service is great! Everyone is kind. I'm assuming is the owner?, a man, very welcoming and warm. I don't really understand Tagalog so I had no clue what he was saying but my parents (doin all the talking) were happy and smiling, especially my dad. It's your typical home-y Filipino restaurant. Very well kept. Very good food. Clean location. Highly recommend if you're in the area to stop by and grab a bite. Their Crispy Pata and Halo Halo is very good!
Surprised by how good this little Filipino restaurant is! All the food we ordered was made fresh, came out piping hot and tasted amazing. We started with BBQ pork skewers beautifully charred and smothered with a tangy sweet sauce. Meat was tender and easily eaten off the stick. My husband's Kare Kare was nutty and unique. It is a peanut sauce based stew made with oxtail and beef. It comes with lots of veggies like eggplant and green beans. It's loaded with a ton of tender oxtail meat. I ordered a fried fish dish and I'm not a big cooked fish lover but this Bangus Sisig was amazing. Bangus or Milkfish is known as the national fish of the Philippines and its a light flaky white fish that absorbs the flavors its cooked with. It came on a sizzling hot plate with some onions, peppers and other veggies. You can actually eat the whole fish as they creatively stir fried the fish meat and loaded it back on the crispy butterfly fish body with nice crunchy skin. The staff is nice and efficient. The restaurant itself has around 6-7 tables and it does get a little warm inside. There were also a few flies that wanted to dine with us but unavoidable with the door constantly opening for customers.
