“Best upscale Filipino food on the Sunset strip!Will definitely be back.Try the lechon kawali and chicken skins! OMG! So heavenly!Our server was great and very sweet and seemed to genuinely care that our experience is nothing short of superb!“
“As a Filipino, I love the different concepts they have with different Filipino dishes. We started off with the beef tartar and pork belly sisig. All I could say was w o w. Beef tartar was amazing and I've never had a garlic sky flake before. The flavors complimented perfectly. I'm not usually a pork person, but their sisig was cooked to perfection! So much flavor and had the perfect crisp. For our main dish we had the chicken inasal. The chicken was sooo tender and fell right off the bone! We also ordered each one of their sauces and I can't even pick out my favorite. They all had their own unique flavor. I'm already thinking about my next visit at this restaurant. The ambience, the service, and the food are all 10/10. Highly recommend!!“
“I dont want to be too critical - but to me this place was just ok.. i mean props on elevating , and putting a twist to Fil dishes. - but it was underwhelming, atleast for me. Ive had many filipino fusion, twist or watever u wanna call it. Iv had Kasama in Chicago, the first Filipino Michelin Star -- and maybe that was my standard... still good though , I wings sadly was my favorite.. kare kare was cool.. but more sauce and more bagoong wouldve been cool - but then again I think they played it safe - to cater to non Fils... now the Pancit Palabok - I dd not get the pasta filling -- it was shrimp supposedly - tasted more like a fish ball, meat ball texture.. it threw me of cus Palabok is mostly just noodles w sauce - and some shrimp if youre lucky , and chicharon.. it had a lil of palabok to it but again I didnt get the pasta filling -- Its a pop up vibe, it was dark like really dark, and was only 2 tables dining, it was also so the menu was super limited.. maybe il come for dinner next time.. but I saw the dinner prices , and its a lil too much , as people have said on yelp, so not sure if Il even go unless it comes about... give em a try , maybe Im just too bias cus of Kasama and also a yelper said, a non Filipino would enjoy it more -- server also gave us the wrong bill, not a big deal but considering there was only 2 tables there , it kinda messed up the vibe more lol .. but still 4 stars for support n the food wasnt bad so dont be discouraged.. check em out.“
“came here with my lolo for lunch, and we both left pleasantly surprised! the interior is nice and spacious, and it's comfortable to dine in. we ended up ordering it for takeout, but the cashier was very friendly and entertained us during our wait. the chicken inasal was cooked to perfection, and the flavors were amazing in comparison to other filipino takeout spots in the area. i'd recommend this spot to anyone seeking all around good filipino food. i'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.“
“After visiting a VW show in Long Beach and showing homes in the South Bay we wanted some genuine Filipino food and this smaller restaurant was rated as one of the best... for a good reason. Michelle is an awesome host, very talkative and informative. My mother-in-law was born and raised in Pampanga and the roots of the restaurant are Pampangan as well. Sisig and Silog were very nice, halo halo a welcome palette cleanser. Parking was not difficult, even though we arrived at around 1pm on a Saturday. 10/10, highly recommended!“
“The pork barbecue skewers are the best!! So tender and flavorful. Rest of the dishes are great too. The place though it's a fast food is not really conducive for dining. It's a storage/kitchen/ eating area. Better take-out option.“
“I grew up in the Philippines and move here in the US when I was 12 yrs old, so coming to this spot is pretty nostalgic for me. I love the food first off and the price. I love the atmosphere and bring back memories of being home with my family. Everyone is chill friendly, and they even have karaoke, which I also love.“
“Gemmae's has always been our go-to when it comes to family parties. We usually order the ube cheesecake and lumpia for pickup. The flavor and quality are always consistent, so we always go back. The online ordering system is very convenient; thus, picking it up at specific times has never been a problem! They use real ube, not those powder kinds they use at boba shops. I know.. I grew up mixing ube during fiestas in Silang, Cavite. The lumpia is excellent, too! The size is bigger than the typical lumpia from other Filipino joints. The inside of Gemmae's is excellent. However, there is no indoor dining, and it's solely for pick-up. One thing to note is the parking. It's situated in a small lot and can get full quickly. But there's plenty of free parking in the street. I will keep coming back here for our orders. The customer service is excellent, and the food/dessert is fantastic!“
“I love this place. Owner and workers are awesome. But I have to give them 4 stars. I was there this morning and one of the customers in front of me was vigorously scratching his hands and body then placed his arms on the shelf above the food. When I told him not to do that because it's UNSANITARY. He then blew up and the workers made it look like it was my fault. That's fine, because maybe they didn't see what happened. I am no beside myself on reporting this to the heath department.“
“I ordered their smallz plate with sisig for a Filipino friend and he said it tastes like his mother's amazing cooking. If that's not a 5 star review, I don't know what is.PS they gave me free garlic rice even though it is normally $1 extraPPS if you order from here, you get a $1 discount on desserts at B Sweet down the road“
“Food taste is goodVisited the place again after a month or so, craving for spaghetti. The owner asked me why I haven’t been back for so long and she was so nice & told me to try it first, see if I like it (free tasting). This time the spaghetti was good. Then after a month I was craving for CebuChon, it was perfect, delicious & crispy. I’m a big influencer of yelp & when i review restaurants/food places, I have to be honest & give constructive criticism, one daythe food I eat in the place may be very good & other days I visit, the food I eat might not be as good as the previous day. The servers are really nice & generous with food portion. I still recommend this place for Filipino foods.“
