It seems like the restaurant changed a lot in terms of customer service and food. Will never come back again.

Villa Manila is an exceptional restaurant known for its high-quality food and service. The ambiance is both ambient and relaxing, making it a delightful dining experience. The food consistently exceeds expectations, and the staff provides excellent service. It's always a pleasure to dine here, given the great food and attentive staff, especially their authentic Filipino dishes.

Great food. The logo is why we came in instead of going to any of the other places. Great design does stand out!Came in on a Saturday night, clearly saw folks who were either regulars or felt at home because of the really warm staff, and enjoyed a nice dinner with my family. There was a small birthday celebration in the other side of the building but we didn’t really hear them.Quickly seated, we ordered Sago't Gulaman, calamansi juice and buko pandan. Very sweet after a day in the park but super refreshing with the food.We got sisig, Bicol, Chicharon Bulaklak, and garlic rice. Servings were more than enough for 3 to take some home. The chicharon was a bit oily but went well with the rice. The standout was the Bicol express. Sauce was amazing and I wish we had more.Overall, would recommend and maybe come back to try their kamayan
We are very disappointed with what was served to us. We’re visiting our good friends who lives in San Diego & wanted to treat them with boodle fight. We visited this place in 2015 at that time it was good. For what we have paid for this time it’s not worth it as you can see what was served that they said is good for eight people. Very disappointed & I don’t recommend them. We could have gone to Gerry’s Grill instead & had much more food for what we had paid. ??

Love this place. Took my mom here and the server was from the same town in the Philippines as she is. We had the Kamayan. Everything was delicious. The lumpia was on point, as was the adobo, and the pork.
Awesome food! Great service! Our favorite spot every time we visit San Diego - a must for anyone that loves delicious Filipino cuisine!Kid-friendliness: The servers are wonderful with the kids. Will come back again ?
This was amazing. Everything is perfectly pricedAnd Taste perfect. Can’t hate it.

I brought my Filipino family visiting from the east coast here, and they absolutely LOVED it! Even though they are a hard bunch to impress, I was very happy to make it known that quality Filipino food was accessible - not greasy, overly salty but well-made! We got lots of dishes to share so bring a group to be able to try them all!

Kare-Kare was not delicious, not used real peanut butter instead they used a starch. I got sick after I ate. The food used to be delicious not anymore after Pandemic. I will stop going to Villa Manila which I do not mind paying higher cost of food as long it is delicious. Over all I am so disappointed .
