I have to be completely honest. I haven’t had GREAT experiences eating Filipino food in London. For some reason, every spot I’ve tried (which are not many), either the food was too salty or too dry. So I came here with some hesitation… but I’m happy to report—I LOVE THIS PLACE. The roast pork belly lechon is what you gotta get here, man. It’s just the perfect balance of textures, flavors, and portion. It's porky, crispy, fatty, and herbaceous all at the same time. That's the dish I will definitely be coming back for.
Had to walk for almost a mile to get here. Just was craving for filipino food. Ambiance of the place was really good. A good amount of well placed seats, though during lunch time, got busy really quick. Ordered pork barbecue, was good enough yet not authentic filipino, lacked the usual punch that we were expecting. Crispy pork belly, good flavor where you can taste the lemon grass, skin was crunchy. On both dish, the atchara or pickle was good enough yet lacked the usual papaya which was understandable. Portions were really good. Lastly ordered for the pares which I was craving for and that was the biggest let down, lacked the usualy flavor that comes with the dish, it was just like a beef dish and soup. That was the biggest disappontment.. prices were okay considering it being in London.. the place was really nice to eat in.
A great spot for a taste of the Philippines in London! Authentic Filipino food at a great price! We had a bit of everything - bbq skewers, lumpia (spring rolls), adobo chicken wings and laing. Also had the fried chicken skins and crispy pata (weekly special). Highly recommend this to anyone wanting to experience a little bit of the Philippines in the bustling streets of London ☺️
Love the food, decent potion especially if you’re going to have a few drinks after. The guys working there were really attentive and friendly. Keeps true to the traditional Filipino flavours. I really find it unsettling when there’s a certain taste you’re looking for but someone decided to “bougie” it up and completely mess when a classic. Thanks for keeping it original (‘how Lola used to make it!’) Highly recommended. A+
We came here as we were craving for some Filipino food. Food generally was decent. We ordered roast pork belly lechon, pares, bbq pork skewers, and vegetable spring rolls. We loved the vege spring rolls with the dip and pork bbq skewers! They were really yummy. The pork belly with the achara was also ok. The only thing I did not like was the pares as it was lacking the distinct pares flavour and spices that I remember from the Retiro Pares in the Philippines. It would be great to have it with soup so you can feel like you are eating the real pares combo. The serving was also decent. The prices of some of the mains were on the pricey side. The service was great though. The ambience of the food market was ok but it can get pretty busy and it’s a bit dark.
