Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"If u love filipino cuisine, this place is ur go to!! Celebrated a colleagues birthday, the staffs were very welcoming and the food was served hot. The fried chicken and the fried pork were the highlight of the table. The platter was lovely and everything that was served was delicious. Highly recommend"
"Absolutely delicious and authentic Filipino food! We had the bulalo, bam-i, crispy pata, tokwa’t baboy, and crispy ebi—every dish was spot on. Rich flavors, generous portions, and amazing texture, especially the crispy pata and bulalo. Friendly service and a warm, welcoming vibe. Highly recommend!"
"I honestly can not rate Manilla Grill highly enough. Some friends and I arranged a whole lechon to celebrate a few of our birthdays. This may well be one of the best decisions I have ever made. Absolutely top notch lechon, crispy and delicious and cooked beautifully, stuffed full of lemongrass and seasonings. We all ate our fill with heaps leftover which I am still enjoying every bite of. Honestly, I strongly recommend. I love filipino food and the team at Manilla does it very well."
"We had the Tapsilog and Pork & Chicken Abodo. Both were delicious and well-presented. The complimentary soup was a welcome addition. We look forward to trying other dishes when we're in the area again at mealtime."
"Went for dinner on Thursday night, and it was quite busy. First time here, and there was only one person on the floor. I can't fault their service, though. The food was amazing. We ended up having 2 of the bicol Express due to an error in communication but no regrets. The lechon was so crispy and juice. It was delicious and plenty of leftovers. Ordered the Japanese fried chicken for my girls, and they were very happy. Overall, it will come again."
"HIDDEN GEM!!! The person in front of house service was a 10/10 so already I was happy The corn bok choy green beans potatoes (i think that was all the veges) were so yummy the broth was yummy the meat was tender and the bone marrow was sooooo yummy. All for $21 money well spent definitely bring my family to eat in one night for dinner (oh and it was ready so quick) just a 10/10 for sure! *Edit* included is a side of rice too"
"Manila Grill is the best to go to if you are craving for Filipino food! Every dish was superb! The staff are also nice, just the place is a bit small especially if its a full house."
"The owner and staff were both very welcoming. The place was full when we arrived. We ordered the Crispy Pata and Fried Chicken - both were delicious, tasty, and crispy . Each came with plain rice and vegetables on the side. We’ll definitely be back to try other items on their menu."
