“The take away: I would definitely come back here.The thorough review: A Filipino restaurant with a limited but respectable selection of main courses. After ordering two of the classics for dine in (i.e., bistek and chicken adobo), the cashier asked me just to pay after my dinner—I wasn’t sure if that was the norm or perhaps, she was simply busy helping another customer with another issue. I enjoyed the meal—no complaints. And apparently, they sell bulalo which I may have to try the next time I’m in the area. There is no shortage of parking outside which is a major plus.On the groceries front, I found the prices to be reasonable vs some places in MD that criminally overcharges.Overall, it was a pleasant eating and grocery shopping experience.“
“In the area for a short while, stumbled across this small establishment and I'm glad I did. We asked to try the Ube Soft Serve, wasn't for me but awesome to have e tried something new.Recently back from Hawaii so I've been on a search for Lumpia just as good. These were right on par. Super flavorful, perfectly fried. Thai chili also served as a dipping sauce.“
“Very authentic, homemade taste. Aside from the namesake, also try the lecheflan. It's easily the best in the region. Unfortunately its popularity means seating is quite limited.Update: it's getting quite pricey and the menu has shrunk. My favorite dish there, crispy pasta, is no longer available, among other items.“
“This was my first time trying Filipino food, and it did not disappoint! I super appreciated the staff being so kind as to explain every dish to me, since I was so unfamiliar. I enjoyed my meal in their restaurant and would highly recommend visiting! I got the chicken adobo.“
“Went in today to have some breakfast and ordered the Tapsilog (tapa/garlic fried rice/egg), I also got a Turon (plantain/jackfruit wrapped in an egg roll wrapper and fried with brown sugar) with Ginger tea. The food came out at a reasonable time. The tapa is cooked the way I like it, on the dry side. It wasn't too salty or sweet and the seasoned vinegar gave it an extra layer of flavor. The garlic fried rice wasn't too oily. The turon has this amazing crunch even if it was room temp! Filo cafe also has other sweets that they have for sale and other specials. I will have to come back to try the other items on the menu.“
“The crispy pork belly and Sisig are a must try for first timers! Try the famous Filipino Lumpia too and you won't be disappointed. Food was excellent. Hopefully they can improve on their serving portion and pricing to entice more non-Filipinos to come in and try their dishes.“
“Tried the Ube Overload cake and Ube flan- just the slices first at $5.39/slice. Both delicious, but I definitely prefer the ENTIRE ube overload cake for $41+ for next time. The $7 halo halo with mango ice cream (instead of Ube) also looks good and might try soon.“
“The first location to open up in Maryland, had a rough opening weekend back in the first year when it initially opened, but things definitely have improved since then. I got the following: The new Crispy Chicken Sandwich with Bacon and Cheese, Side of Jollibee Spaghetti, Yumburger With Cheese, Ube Pie Dessert Their chicken sandwiches are always a great way of taking the flavor from the Chickenjoy and putting it in a sandwich. Nice juicy and tender breast of chicken, nicely fried with their crispy exterior and savory seasonings, plus the addition of mayo and their amazing bun, it's delicious! Plus the addition of bacon and cheese in this item can only help make it better. The Yumburger with Cheese is a guilty pleasure of mine, I always love the flavors of the sauce and the softness of the bun + meat patty. Their meat patty isn't like other traditional fast food burgers, it's prepared in a different way and the meat is more tender and condensed, giving it a different texture. I just wish the solo Yumburger wasn't so pricey for how small of a sandwich it is. Lastly, the Ube Pie Dessert, as with all of their pies, was fantastic. Deliciously sweet ube filling, nice crispy and flakey pie crust, it's a great combination. Overall I love the flavors of Jollibee every time I come here, the prices are a bit on the higher side, but as it's a chain there isn't much that could be done about that. Service is friendly and efficient with the long lunch rushes, and the restaurant ambiance is always cute and appealing with their Jollibee mascot statues and posters around the establishment!“
“Great selection of Filipino baked goods, and an Ube and Pandan-lover’s dream.The donut was fresh, with a nice crust. The cream was smooth and light, though the pandan flavour was quite subtle.I loved the Baked Siaopao, a slightly flaky bread filled with pulled pork and egg.I bought the Ube Pan de Sal as well, and am so excited to try it!“
