What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners rave about the authentic and outstanding Filipino cuisine, with lumpia and pancit being standout dishes. Many praise the generous portions and fresh, flavorful food. However, some reviews mention issues with the cleanliness of the restaurant's interior and exterior, and occasional long wait times or slow service can be a concern.
"OMG! Everything single dish we ordered was outstanding. This was my first time here. But my daughter and son in law have been here previously. And we all came here for dinner. It was an awesome choice. I will definitely be coming back again. Thank you for the wonderful service too."

"Upon entering the Lumpia House on Waldron Rd, the door was filthy. All the table tops were clean but the walls and the chairs and the floors were horrible. Our waitress was great! The owner (I assume) came out and asked we liked the food which was good. But this place needs a major make over. It’s not a hole in the wall. Which is a small place with great food. This place is so extra dirty that I had to debate eating the food. If the front area is any indicator, God only knows what the back looks like! To the owner: I believe yours have more customers if you would clean the place up. If I had a toddler with me, there is no way I’d let the child sit in the high chair. Filth & food don’t mix! Get it together please & thank you!"

"Honestly I don't have any negative reviews about this play, other than maybe the chairs were not the most comfortable. The service was absolutely immaculate, it was a beautiful hole in the wall little place, and it felt like you were eating at someone's aunts house. It was my first time trying this type of food, but not my friends. They recommended the pork lumpia and I got the chicken adobe, while they got I believe pancit. It was absolutely amazing. I will definitely be going back for more soon. Top 10 restaurant for me in Corpus."

The first time I visited Little Manila Lumpia House in Flour Bluff marked the start of my addiction to lumpia and pancit, two canonical dishes in Filipino cuisine. On this final visit, however, I decide to try something new and order the Sinigang Soup without any context whatsoever. The first thing I need to note is that this single serving of soup comes in not one but two large takeaway bowls and lasts me a good three days despite eating it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
