Reviews Summary
Hukad Everyday Filipino offers an authentic taste of Filipino cuisine in a charming, rustic setting, but diners have reported significant issues with service speed and food consistency.

"Great choice if you'd like a chain Filipino restaurant. The AC was too strong, though. Could've been set at least 5ยฐC higher temperature."

"One of the worst restaurant Iโve been through.
Service was bad. Food took so long to serve.
We ordered sizling diniguan, sizling sinigang , tortang talong sisig. It took them an hour to serve all the orders.
Sinigang was too salty."
Edmund Jr. Salcedo
"The first time I came here, the food was good, but when I came back after a month and ordered sinigang again, I was disappointed. The pork was a bit tough, and the vegetables had close to rotten black spots. There was also a cockroach crawling beside me."

Another destination for classic Filipino cooking is the Golden Cowrie, a down-home spot that serves dishes on banana leaves instead of plates. Diners love the crispy pata (pork leg) and lechon (roast suckling pig), but vegetarian travelers will find a ton of options here as well.
