I'm not an expert on Filipino food but I certainly like this place. When we walked in they seated us right away and gave us menus. Inside was small and simple with some artwork decorating the walls. My sister who has been here before ordered for us. We got lumpia, sisig, a shrimp squash dish, fish and garlic rice. Everything was tasty and seasoned perfectly. I recommend this place for good food in general.
Comfort food that makes you feel like home :) It was American Filipino day and I happen to be in New York during this time. I came with the Fam, was always curious if there a difference between NY and Cali or was it all the same. The restaurant didn't look to big from the outside but once you get in you'll realize its pretty big. Greeted with smiles all around, very welcoming. We had a table right away, our server was helpful when we had questions. Once the order was placed, it didn't take long at all. The food was delicious and had there own flavor to each dishes. The difference in my opinion is the sauce, the sytle was there own which makes it great. I'll be back ;)
We've always driven past Lahi but never took the time to check it out, and I'm so glad we finally did! As a party of 4, we were seated rather quickly on a Friday evening (around 7:15pm), but the restaurant did fill up a bit shortly after. The space is a bit on the smaller side, but gives a home-y vibe. Between the 4 of us, we initially decided on the pork lumpia, chicken adobo, sisig bangus, lechon kawali, and palabok. Unfortunately, they were out of the palabok and chicken adobo, so we subbed with the adobo pork and held off on another noodle. Garlic rice is a must, and it comes with each of the entrees for an additional $1. I was honestly really pleasantly surprised by each dish. The lumpia was super crispy & tasty, and I could snack on these all day long! 12 sounds like a lot until you start eating - I could finish a plate of these myself (I think). The sisig bangus came out sizzling, and it was so fragrant! Adding the lemon in gave it that extra acidity that tied the whole dish together so well. This was really delicious, and definitely a highlight for me. Lechon kawali and adobo pork were both good, but nothing to write home about. The adobo was a little saltier than I expected, and I almost wish it had just a little more vinegar. We decided to add on two more dishes after a while, because the 4 alone didn't seem to be quite enough. After looking through some yelp reviews, we decided on the bihon and the sisig pork. The bihon was quite large portion wise, and really tasty in my opinion. It looks like such a simple dish, but the flavors are well balanced. Sisig pork was one of my faves - I enjoyed this a bit more than the sisig bangus, because I loooove the extra flavor from the fat. The staff is really kind, and they were quite apologetic when they notified us that they were out of some items. Service was paced well - we never had to wait too long for any of our dishes. Prices are reasonable - total came out to $123 after tax and tip. Overall, worth a visit, and I'd come back! Highly recommend getting a sisig and lumpia!
Best Filipino restaurant ever! I go food shopping in Elmhurst very often and saw this place is on the way. I decided to try and this place is one of my favorite restaurant since. Food is great and server are friendly, happy and polite. The restaurant actually expands to another room and has bigger space and table. When the restaurant is busy, you will hardly see the server because they are running around doing stuff. I love Dasilog (brunch menu), Deep fried milk fish with garlic rice and fried egg. Tosilog (brunch menu), Sweet red pork with garlic rice and fried egg. Bistek Pinoy, beef sauteed with onion Sisig Bangus, chopped crispy milkfish with onion and seasoned. my favorite desserts are Halo and Leche Flan.
Came here twice! Local Filipino restaurant in Elmhurst. They have a decent selection of food & a good amount of seating as well. - The first time I went, I got the Lechon Kawali and Pork Sisig Tacos. Yhe lechon was super fatty and flavorful and went well with the rice and sauce (4.5/5). The sisig tacos were good, I felt like there was too much flavors going on though but still super tasty (4/5). - The second time I went I got the Pork Sisig Hot Plate and Chicken Adobo. The pork was good but some parts were very tender which, over time, my jaws started to hurt from chewing (3.5/5). The chicken adobo took a while to come out as well. The flavor was good but I found the chicken to be a bit dry (3/5). Overall, this place is pretty good and the prices are not bad. I would come back to try the halo halo because they ran out of the ube ice cream when I went. The food is a bit greasy but tasty!
Customer service was good. Clean resto and bathroom was okay. Food tasted so good specially the bistik, it was so tender and flavorful as well as the pancit. Although the Leche flan wasnt that smooth and silky. But over all i got satisfied and full.
This restaurant is definitely one I would go back to for a good Filipino family meal. Everything tastes so home cooked and delicious. Seeing local Filipino customers dining in as well, assured me that this is the place to be for an authentic Filipino meal. The food was flavorful. The garlic rice is the must get and I highly recommend. No matter what dish you try, you must get an order of garlic rice. It is so worth the extra $1 for it. The rice porridge with tripe was delicious. The tripe was tender and easy to eat. The pork sinigang was tangy and savory. There were lots of vegetables. I will definitely be coming back.
We were craving for Filipino food while we're in queens so we decided to try this place. Reasonable pricing, friendly staff, and food was very flavorful. Would come back again!
Small little place that serves authentic filipino food. My friend and I were craving filipino food so we made the drive to queens and we weren't disappointed! Everything came out sizzling hot and full of flavor. We ordered: - BBQ Pork or Chicken - Garlic Rice - Chicken Sisig Plate Definitely recommend coming here if you've never tried filipino food or you're just in the sudden mood for it!
We wanted to try a Filipino spot in Queens and found this on Yelp. Close proximity to Elmhurst train station and easy to spot on Queens Boulevard. This review is for take out only. Their phone number wasn't working so I ordered through the website (had to set up an account). Easy process and the food was ready by the estimated time. Got a few staple items per other review recommendations. Sisig chicken - this was my favorite dish. I love the combination of flavors and cut up chicken with onions. So fragrant. Adobo Chicken - classic, must-order. It was yummy and I loved drizzling the sauce on the rice. Kare-Kare - I loved the tender, big oxtail and appreciated the amount of meat in this meal. I didn't enjoy the peanut sauce and could do without it. But the meat was cooked really well. Tokwa - fried tofu in a soy sauce and vinegar dressing. It's a pungent bite at first and can be a tad salty. Three entrees and one appetizer was a total of $53. A bit pricey for the portion size and order amount. Similar to Thai food pricing and portions. The location is good and the flavors of the food were satisfying.
