Bongbong's Manila Kanteen

I’m new to Filipino food, but I loved the flavours. I got the crispy pork rice plate and my friend got the chicken satay, and we shared a side of longanisa. The pork was really tender and a good serve and comes with a tasty sauce; the chicken satay was delicious and the longanisa was delightful. I also appreciated the colour the salad added to the plate. However, my rice was way over cooked - basically a mushy, sticky pile. I’m pretty sure it’s not supposed to be like that. The gentleman who took our order didn’t check on us until we were almost finished, otherwise I would have said something. I also feel like the value wasn’t the greatest - it’s delicious, but it’s not very much food for £12. I think I would’ve liked a bit more rice (and for the rice to not be soggy).

This was the first time I had Filipino food and I was not disappointed at all. I felt welcomed and it was a joy to eat here. I found the staff very nice and friendly. The adobo chicken wings were amazing, the chicken skin was still crispy even with the sticky adobo sauce/glaze. My sister really liked it too. It nearly made me consider getting another portion! When the main arrived. Chef decided to surprised us with something and added extra food (the chorizo style sausage) on our plate just to introduce us to more of their food. I was really happy with this because it really shows that the team really cares about introducing Filipino food to people who never had it. Chicken satay curry was tasty. Pork belly I expected to be like slow-cooker tender but had a bite which I still really liked almost like fatty pork steak. The food had flavour. Immense flavour. As expected, rice was cooked nicely. I really liked the presentation of the dish. It's heavy on garnish but felt really fun and exciting to eat. We also got a free drink as well and tasted almost like Yakult milk. Was really refreshing and much needed. Overrall, this place is the best I've eaten in London so far (only been there for 2 days RIP). I will recommend this place to all of my friends. Only advice, I should've ordered more food.

Food was absolutely delicious. I learnt about this place through Netflix’s ‘One-million pound meal’. I really liked the owners on there and their take on the Phillipino cuisine. I had never tried it before but left very impressed. I had the satay chicken with rice and the adobo glazed cauliflower. The cauliflower was by far the best cauliflower dish I’ve ever had. The next day, there was no negative effects from the meal. I recommend this place to anyone that loves trying new cuisines.

What an awesome Filipino restaurant in London! The menu offers some punchy and innovative dishes designed for sharing. The whole restaurant has a relaxed and quirky vibe. They even have a private dining area for larger groups (which comes with free karaoke!). You MUST order their cauliflower!!

The Filipino food here is great! Very tasty, and very appetizing! There are also vegan/vegetarian options, which is great as Filipino food is not known to be vegetarian-friendly. 😅 The staff is very nice and the food is affordable! By the way, the restaurant is in the Seven Dials Market.

First time trying this place. No queues, nice and empty. Service with a smile. Ordered the pork and jasmine rice. Including service charge £13.75. Not bad, there was a lot of pork. Tasty but if I'm totally honest, some bits were dry. Rice was nice, sauce had flavour, pity there wasn't enough of it. Next time I might try something else. Toilets are downstairs, there is a lift.

The place is small but accessible from all the public transpo stop. The customer service is really good. The lovely lady in the cashier is very sweet and approachable. She was smiling all the way and very friendly. The food taste good too although the presentation is more western than Filipino.

GOOD. Elevated Filipino food. Good presentation. I ordered the crispy pork and chicken satay and they are delightful. I like the chicken more than the pork as the latter is a little bland for my taste. But still good. I’m surprised that a Filipino joint like this should be teeming with Filipinos but I’m the only Filipino guy eating. It is packed with non Filipinos. Even the staff are non Filipinos. NOT SO GOOD. Front of house should smile more. A little pricey in my opinion.
