Pampalasa - San Francisco

Very charming place to get really good Filipino food. I had the Adobo which was excellent. The staff are very nice also although the music at that time was a bit outdated

Good is really good. Service is very welcoming and toilet is super clean. It wasn't busy when I visited on a Saturday afternoon but it definitely deserve more business

The lechon kawalsilog (pork belly entree) was great! that's a little long to get out, but I think they're doing everything out of the ground. this place will be great when the terrace is open and perhaps also add a byo bierpolitik?

We started by sharing the pork lumps and fresh lumps, with each person ordering one main dish. The pork was exactly what we expected—beautifully crispy. The fresh lumps were a non-fried version of the pork lumps, presented like a large burrito instead of individually rolled. The thin crepe was filled with seasonal vegetables, and I really enjoyed this unique twist on a classic dish. For my main course, I chose a vegan dish from the appetizers, which included mushrooms, bamboo, taro, and chili paprika in coconut milk. It was a delightful combination of creamy and savory flavors. Overall, the food was quite good, but the service left something to be desired. There were some odd timing issues; half of our table received their meals before the other half, and the delay was about five minutes, which felt a bit too long. Despite the service hiccups, I look forward to making this a regular spot for team dinners.

The setup is impressive. They start by spreading a generous amount of rice in a beautiful row for everyone. Then, they sprinkle fried garlic bits and green onions on top, followed by a selection of different meats, fish, and vegetables (you can choose from various sets). My personal favorites were the deep-fried pork and the grilled chicken. You certainly won't leave feeling hungry, and the portions are incredibly generous—it’s definitely worth it! They even have a spot for washing your hands before and after the meal. I'll definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend that everyone give this place a try!
