Filipino Restaurants near Fair Lawn, NJ

“Have you ever wanted food that takes you back ‘home’? That brings back wonderful memories and tastes that only mom could make? Well, that’s what you will experience at Japino. The best of both worlds - Filipino and Japanese cuisine. You see, the owner, Kim, brings both worlds together in her cooking because of her background.My daughter ordered Udon, my wife, Yakisoba, and I ordered Pork Adobo over rice. Wow!!! And although her Pinakbet had run out by the time we arrived, Kim brought out what she had reserved for herself for me to have some! From the very first bite, we were all speechless. We just had to relish in the delicious flavors that we were tasting! We were each so impressed that we had to share with each other our dishes.And Kim makes you feel at home, treating you like she was mom for our time there. No precooked meals. She cooks it right then and there. Wow, just thinking about our whole experience makes me want to go back for more. Unfortunately, we came from PA 2 hours away, but if we happen to be in the Fair Lawn, NJ area, you can be sure we will be swinging by for Kim’s home cooked food again! We even ordered some more food to bring it back with us to PA. ?If you live nearby, be sure to try Kim’s awesome dishes and wonderful hospitality. You will not regret it. Why such a long review? Because I was so amazed by our complete experience, I wanted to hug Kim for a wonderful time. She said instead of a hug, she asked for a wonderful review. I hope this review makes her feel like she got an appreciative hug. And I hope this makes you want to try Japino. Please tell Kim we sent you?“

“Stepping into this Filipino fast food breakfast spot, I was immediately greeted by the inviting aroma of Tapsilog and Lumpia, signature dishes that promise a quick yet authentic taste of the Philippines. The fast, friendly service and the mouthwatering flavors of perfectly seasoned beef paired with garlic rice and the crunchiness of fresh Lumpia offered a satisfying, flavorful start to the day, proving that great Filipino food can be enjoyed even on the go.“

“ALL his Filipino food id delicious and his prices are so cheap. I just can't believe how much great delicious food he gives away. For example, a combo is white rice with 2 sides of meat dishes that ge has at the buffet, only $7.50 now. It just went up 50 cents from $7 a couple months ago and that's still a steal. I love this spot.“

“Better than neighboring Filipino markets. Not sure what the other reviewer said about it not being maintained - the products are organized in the aisles, the cafeteria is clean and the food is very tasty. Get here early for the Dinakdakan - it's a must have. The Sisig, while not sizzling, is fantastic to take home and re-fry or have as-is. The selection of products is varied enough, though they have enough space to expand to carry far more products - and hopefully they do in the future. The workers and owner are all super friendly and always have a smile on their faces.“
