Title: A Flavorful Journey through Filipino Delights: A 10/10 ExperienceNestled within a welcoming atmosphere exuding family-friendly vibes, Val’s Kitchen Plus serves as a gateway to the heart of Filipino cuisine. During my recent visit, I was enchanted not only by the scrumptious dishes but also by the warm hospitality that defined the experience.The ambiance struck a perfect balance between cleanliness and an inviting aura, making it an ideal spot for a delightful dining escapade. It emitted the essence of a genuine family-oriented restaurant, welcoming patrons with open arms.However, what truly stood out was the impeccable service. The staff at Val’s Kitchen Plus were paragons of hospitality, displaying a genuine eagerness to ensure a memorable dining venture. Their attentiveness and friendliness added an extra layer of comfort to the entire experience, making it feel like dining among friends.Now, onto the stars of the show—the dishes. The palabok, with its vibrant medley of flavors, offered a harmonious blend of textures and tastes that tantalized the palate. Each bite of the meticulously prepared noodles coated in a rich, savory sauce, adorned with an array of toppings, left an indelible mark on my taste buds.The lumpia, a quintessential Filipino favorite, showcased culinary finesse at its best. Crispy on the outside and bursting with savory goodness within, it was a true testament to the artistry of Filipino cuisine.Among the desserts that crowned this remarkable culinary journey, the bibingka emerged as a standout. Its coconut-infused layers of rice cake, boasting a sweet, creamy texture, were a delectable revelation—a perfect marriage of tradition and flavor that left a lasting impression.In conclusion, my time at Val’s Kitchen Plus was nothing short of exceptional. From the savory delights of palabok and lumpia to the sweet finale with the mesmerizing bibingka, each dish resonated with authenticity and skillful preparation. Coupled with the inviting ambiance and the exceptional service, my overall experience surpassed expectations, earning it a resounding 10/10 rating.
The food, service and ambiance is awesome baby when I tell you I tried everything and also bought some of the items to recreate my daughter tagged along she also loved the food. They had karaoke and I sang like I could sing but who cares I enjoyed myself. You have to go there tell them Alicia sent ya. Shout out to Maribel hey sista girl I love you guys.

The ladies were very nice but I asked for tocino, was told they don't have it, then told they do have it, and when I got home, I found I didn't have tocino but slices of glazed pork belly that were almost inedible bc they'd been sitting so long under a heat lamp, it was like chewing football leather.The longanisa I ordered was just fine and the rice and eggs were nice and greasy. It's unfortunate - it looks like a lot of the food is great but I suspect it's not moving quickly enough. Give them some business!

The food is excellent and at a very fair price. The owners are so friendly. Can't wait for my next visit to Darien so I can eat here again.

Walked in this restaurant this evening after spotting it while getting Thai food. It looked so good I changed my mind and my wife and I ate there. I am familiar with Filipino food and we like that it’s reasonably priced. They were so welcoming and warm we knew we made a good choice. We got the pork adobo, loginista, fresh lumpia and fried lumpia. When I tell you it was 5/5 delicious, it was. I wish the restaurant name said Filipino food on it because it would’ve attracted us when driving by but either way we have discovered an absolute hidden gem!! I pray for this restaurant to continue to grow. I loved seeing the Filipino community out there and supporting and I hope if you’re reading this you do to. Fantastic! Oh and the chicken congee was phenomenal!! I almost wish I had a cold so I could watch it go away with one bowl of that magic. Just wish I bought more!!

I like their food ?. Usually very delicious when they have stuff. They do more catering these days. So limited to what they have on hand in the restaurant most times I go. The owners are friendly and nice. They started to do Friday night fun night, which includes more dessert type items, with karaoke ?, movies, and fights on the TV. So far it been most family and friends of the owners that show up.all are welcome. It starts from 6 pm to midnight on Fridays. I believe it only for the summer months.
Owned and operated by such good person, Kuya Val and his family. Food is fantastic, the whole establishment is very clean and has a warm comfortable setting. Ample parking as well.
