We gave had Phillipine friends and were familiar with the cuisine The selections were substantial but lacking in flair.
Prices reasonable.

First time trying this place. Unbelievable! The staff treated us like family and made us feel welcomed. Everyone was down to earth. The second you walk in and order you will think that the place is inconveniently small, up until you are seated. They do not allow any menus at the tables (due to covid) so they ask that you please order prior to being seated. You pay after you eat. The restaurant inside has spread apart seating and smooth piano-jazz music playing while the aroma of the bakery and food fill the air. It smells heavenly. The service was a little slow, but it seems to be as though they have a small staff. Take out is optional. I ordered 3 dishes and 2 desserts.
Chicken Adobo which is bone-in chicken marinated with vinegar, garlic, and soy sauce with rice. Comes with about a cup serving each of rice AND noodles. 10/10. Mouth watering tender meat packed with flavor and covered in thick, rich gravy that pairs perfectly with white rice. It will have you licking every last drop. A must try!
Pansit Bihon Guisado which is rice noodles with sauteed vegetables and small pieces of chicken. 8/10. Lemon elevates the noodles. The carrots were sweet, the chicken was soft. Nice seasonings. Squeeze a lemon over the top and stir noodles. It really adds a loving flavor and pairs nicely with lemon. If you enjoy rice noodles I would recommend this dish.
Lumpias which is 9 small Filipino style crunchy egg rolls that come with sweet chili sauce. 10/10. When I say crunchy. I mean it! If you have a big party you're going to want to buy 2 orders. They are addicting! Delicious inside and out. Crispy. Crispy. Crispy! If you like spring rolls, egg rolls, or anything fried and crunchy. I highly recommend these little guys. Must try!
For dessert I took home a Canoli and finally got to try their famous fluffy mini Ube Cheesecakes which are made with purple yams. When I took that first bite of the cheesecake I was blown away. Was not expecting it to taste THAT good. Nothing like American cheesecake. Incredibly smooth and leaves your mouth drooling for more. If you love cheesecake I highly recommend. Must try!
I will be going back. I have to try more.
Round 2. Fight!

This place is very nostalgic. They offer both food and pastries at this location. The food is reminiscent of food my mother cooked growing up. The food was cooked fresh and well seasoned. The pastries are delicious, a bit pricey but worth it. If you are Filipino or craving Filipino food itās a must
I went to pick up an order of lumpia , this rating is based off taste , these things were immaculate, and they knew how to box fried food correctly so it stays crispy which was helpful for me because I was taking this for a party, the only downfall was that they were like maybe 2.5inches in length so ultimately the 25 piece for 18$ felt more like a 12 piece. I just wish I wouldāve known so I couldāve ordered more. I now know for next time because this place was good enough that I had so many compliments. Everybody loved it. I would highly recommend at least this one specific item on the menu.
Had 2 orders of pancit and lumpia for pickup. It was ready before I got there! The lady that assisted me had a wonderful personality and we spoke about my experience with Filipino food. The food was amazing. The spices and flavors were what I remembered growing up. We will be returning!
What a wonderful relaxing, flavorful experience! Tess, an owner, is so friendly and welcoming. We went at
9:50 a.m.--Tess gave us a choice to have the breakfast or lunch though it was close to the end of one and not time for the other. The restaurant is much more spacious than it looks from the outside if you can get past the pastries! Our dishes are specialities (see the pictures) so we didn't mind the wait (only about 18 minutes). We ordered Crispy Pata. The outer skin was crispy and tasty and the meat inside was tender and lightly seasoned; and Lechon Kawali with a yummy liver pate dip. Rice and noodles come as a side with each meal. The noodles are lightly seasoned and the perfect side dish. Live music Friday and Saturday evenings and on Sunday. Prices are reasonable you can check by clicking on the website menu. Definitely a return trip with the rest of the family.

I grew up in San Francisco and lived most recently in Jersey City - both had an abundant list of Filipino restaurants and grocery options to choose from, so I am a fish out of water here - knowing there are only a total count of 6 Filipino restaurants in the entire Phoenix metro area!
Thank goodness for Casa Filipina! It's a 25 mins drive from OT Scottsdale, but at least it's a decent go-to for home cooked Filipino food. Super simple resto - but clean. We had a couple of the chicken dishes, the beef steak and squid. Overall the food was tasty and service decent. My tip: if you have big appetites, order extra.
Because it is such a trek for us, I also ordered food to go for "baon", fried tilapia, pancit malabon (Filipino style egg noodles) and tortang talong (omelette with eggplant and pork). Equally enjoyed these dishes at home!
Of the 6 Filipino restaurants I've come to learn about so far, I recommend this restaurant for Filipinos and folks who have yet to try Filipino food alike. We will definitely return when in need for a fix
Good food. Good portions. Delicious.
The most deliciously authentic lumpia!! I wish I would remember they close at 6 because I always think about them for dinner and miss out. Yummy spot for sure!!!
Having traveled the SOUTH all year, Iām finally headed back to California. Itās been too long since Iāve had authentic Filipino food and glad I found this restaurant based upon my cousinās recommendation... mmmm...Ang sarap! Marame Salamat Po and Annešš
Great food and even better service. The desserts are worth the trip every time.
Great authentic Philippine food. Beautiful Bakery as well. Enjoy! Family run and they make you feel like family
