Good Filipino food, they have fresh lechon and grilled fish on weekends. Friendly service! They have a small area to sit and eat, ventilation has to be improved as you will smell like food after you dine in.

Some staff members are young but polite and have good customer service. Service can be slow but it does move Prices vary but the price for the fish is reasonable, which is what I always get. Cash are encouraged and credit cards have a minimum they impose Food here is often not oily but on some days it is so depends on who is cooking them. However their eggplant is oily. I actually threw it in the garbage. Cooking like this should not be present in 2019 because it's not healthy. Weekends can be busy. Its next to the bakery which is great for desserts.

I wish this place is close to Philadelphia or they have a similar one. It was a good excuse to see my good friend Sonny Maranan who is the man running Cafe Pilipino. The food was very delicious, typical Filipino flair, big portions and affordable. This restaurant is an institution among the philippine community here in the Northeast. Guess where I was. I could not control myself. So many choices I bought two of a kind. Update: 10/13/22 Another chance to visit the authentic Filipino dishes and bakery products fromCafe Pilipino and Philippine Bread House. Congratulations to Sonny Maranan and his team for a job well done. Delicious food, affordable prices and top notch service. Mabuhay Kapatid!

We got the chicken adobo and the bbq chicken. The adobo was tasty but with all the little bones in it it was more of a chore to eat. The bbq chicken was good and much easier to eat. Just wouldn't go back here for either one.

I recently ordered spaghetti, beef tapa, chicken curry, lumpia Shanghai. The food taste good except for the spaghetti, it was disappointing. It was bland.
