Ordered to-go (beef fried rice) $15 food and it took way too long. Didn’t even look that busy.. but finally got my food and they didn’t even give me utensils. Luckily I had my camping spoon, so always come prepared folks. It smelled good but when i ate some, it didn’t really taste good at all. Maybe its better to dine in… portion was good. I will give them that..

Delicious Filipino food open late! This place is the spot for traditional Filipino comfort food. They have the usual choices but the quality and flavor is awesome. We normally order crispy lechon and kare kare here but there are so many other good options on the menu as well. We recommend getting whatever dish you want as the combination plate so it comes with fried rice, pancit noodles and lumpia. Would give it 5 stars but the waiting time for the food is kinda on the slower side. Otherwise, great food and friendly service!

Authentic Filipino food. I used to live in Cali and the Filipino food I remember eating would blast with flavor. I was expecting my taste buds to sizzle! Was flatly disappointed. Idk, maybe my memory played tricks on me or my palate changed. Probably the latter.

I was CRAVING Filipino food, but the family and friends always wants to eat somewhere else…yay!!! My wish came true. I love it when I don’t have to pay the bill, too!! U want amazing authentic food? The meat was made so deliciously in my book. Beef was tender and flavorful! The vegetables, yeah…so good. The pork (lichon) had such delicious, crunchy skin. Mmmmmm. The pancit and lumpia, yes this is how you make it!!! OMG the turon (fried banana in lumpia wrapper) was incredibly fresh!

I have dinner at this restaurant for the first-time last May 21, 2023, and the food was okay (it can still be improved). Another good thing about this place is the presence of karaoke which makes it entertaining while eating. I ate Pancit Miki-Bihon (Filipino noodles) and crispy pata (fried pork leg). I would say that the amount of serving more than equate the costs of paying for the food plus entertainment.

If you’re looking for authentic, homemade Filipino food, Zarlitos is it. My friend and I ordered takeout, and eating this reminded me of going to a friend’s house and trying their parent’s delicious food.

Great array of food options, came in for a family birthday. Everyone left extremely full with food leftover to spare. Chose this place off the recommendation of a friend and was not disappointed!

Great place to find all the Filipino favorites. They gace everything from pancit to silogs, crispy pata, pinakbet, lumpia, arroz caldo! Not printed ob their menu (but is all over their Instagram) are their poke offerings which are also very good! You can’t go wrong with the bistek rice. Super authentic and it brought back memories of home.

Great poki menu.. Difference between a pokesilog and bowl is $2 and a fried egg. Ahi furikake is great, highly recommended. Check out my pics for the pokesilog.
