Elsie's Egg Rolls

Normally I don't focus on service unless it's bad. But it's worth mentioning that from the moment I ordered to the moment my food was in hand was barely enough time to sit down. It wasn't particularly busy, but good to keep in mind if you need something quick! The food was delicious, everything came out fresh and sizzling hot! The rice was cooked immaculately with that perfect chew, and the pork adobo was so tender, I recommend a spoon instead of a fork. Seasoned well and lots of juice to soak the rice in for a burst of flavor. The lumpia was incredible! The combo comes with 3 and I recommend doing what I did and ordering one of each: chicken, pork and veggie. They're all rockstars in their own right with layers of crispy fried wrapper encasing juicy, tender and delicious insides. I'd eat any 3 of them back to back as a whole meal. They off regular and spicy sweet and sour sauce to dip. I chose the spicy and it's about the same heat as your average smokey BBQ sauce. Not bad, but not particularly stand out.

Drive by this little restaurant all the time and finally stopped in. I love Filipino food and ate it all the time in Hawaii and Seattle. This restaurant has dine-in and drive through. Nice and clean with comfortable seating. Fun decor! The food was ok and it came out quick and hot. We had the lumpis appetizer, the Curry, and Pork Adobo. The rice was a little mushy and unfortunately the lumpia were on the burnt side. The filling was so ground up that we couldn't discern the different flavors. However, the curry was very tasty and in both dishes, the portions were great with a lot of meat. I am going to give it another try and hope that the things come out better.

Everything about this place felt like a home the lumpia was CRISPY they let you mix and match and the Calamansi was a nice little can that tasted like a slightly sweet yuzu. I saw they have had rough reviews lately but I trusted my gut! They are worth it! Just relax and enjoy don't stress. I traveled from cedar park to get here! Great place please give them a chance! Y'all will love them! (I know there isn't 12 in the picture my girlfriend and I couldn't help but to eat them before we got home!)

The Bistek Tagalog was extraordinary. It came with a bowl of gravy. I couldn't decide whether the steak tasted better by itself or dipped in the gravy. So I alternated. Really good either way. And then add in the onion. Wow. I don't remember what the soup was called but it was quite tasty.

Indulged in new flavors at Elsie's Egg Rolls Filipino Kitchen. 😋🇵🇭 From Sisig to dynamite egg rolls and Kilawin Tagalog, every bite was a delightful surprise. Don't miss out on their weekly special – it's a taste of Filipino goodness you won't forget!

I decided to try out a new type of cuisine for me. Philippine food. The food was tasty and the staff was very friendly although the service was quite slow. They had a great variety of dishes such as Bistek Tagalong, Pork Adobo, and Pancit Noodles. If you go, I would recommend the halo halo dessert.

Austin has such a scarce variety of Filipino food. So when I decided to try out Elsie’s in Hutto, I was not disappointed. Friendly staff first of all. Service was quick. I got the chicken adobo. It was served with a delicious potato and pork soup as well as an egg roll on the side. You’re able to choose pork, chicken, or vegetable. Of course I got pork and it was great! Tasted almost like my mom’s. Almost. The chicken adobo was good. For me there was a little bit too much “sabaw” or shall I say soup. I personally like mine a bit thicker and less of but everyone makes adobo differently and it still did not take away from the fact that it was delicious! I love that an egg was served alongside it too! Lastly, I got gulaman to drink. Whenever I see gulaman on a menu, I have to get it because it reminds me so much of my childhood. I got it Elsie’s style as well which included cream and it absolutely tasty! Overall, the best Filipino restaurant around the Austin area and that’s why I give it a five. I can’t wait to try other things on the menu next time!

The Best Restaurant If you want that Filipino vibes ...you will feel so much like in the Philippines 🇵🇭 💖 💓 Good food and esp.Halo Halo...

I ordered the family order of Pancit that came with 12 lumping (eggrolls), and I chose pork asthma lumping filling. E erything was served hot and fresh. I was so excited to have this for dinner with my family. Unfortunately, it was so salty. Even the chicken in tje Pancit was salty. Hopefully, this was an oversight, but we could not eat it.

Fantastic food and customer service anytime I am half Filipino and know what good cuisine tastes like. This place is the real deal I highly recommend the pancit and lumpia. They are flavorful and freshly prepared. Their porridge is also good on a day where your sick.. Lastly, the assortment of baked treats are also to die for. The Spanish bread is my personal favorite! I feel so blessed to have a restaurant like this nearby.

We always drive by Elsie's Egg Rolls going up into Georgetown, and after a while, curiosity got the better of us and we paid a visit to try some Filipino food for lunch. Menu options look pretty authentic and the prices are fair. We called in an lunch order for the Pancit and the Pork Adobo combos, and they were ready after five minutes. We tried the mixed lumpias. The veggie lumpia was our favorite. The chicken and pork lumpias was just okay, the skins were nice and crispy, but the meat fillings were a bit dry. We also tried their regular and spicy sauces. The spicy version had a bit of a tingle, but not very much. The Pancit was pretty good with a nice balance of veggies and meat. The Pork adobo, while the sauce was nice, the pork itself was extremely dry and pretty difficult to get down. Would definitely opt for something else next time.

Asked for our egg rolls to be cut in half. They said they would not do that. Also 3 egg rolls were cold and 3 were hot. Egg rolls are good but service was less than par. Will not be going back.

If Elsie's Egg Rolls was closer to me, I'd be here more often! The restaurant is clean and spacious with plenty of food options to choose from, including a board of rotating specials. The staff is very helpful and attentive. Sometimes there is even a shelf of Filipino pastries you can purchase to take home. While there are only a few Filipino food options in and around Austin, I'm glad this is one of them. Of course I had to try the lumpia (egg rolls) and was pleasantly surprised by how long they were. Talk about filling! The kare kare, with its side of shrimp paste, was hearty and comforting. I appreciated how much meat there actually was. The dish was creamy, smooth, and cooked to tenderness. The only thing I didn't like were the string beans. They were chewy and inedible almost as if they were cooked, frozen, and thrown haphazardly into the stew. They also had a number of silog options. We went with the beef tapa and were satisfied. We also wanted to try the bangus and they graciously let us order it a la carte (without the rice). It was crispy, salty and paired nicely with the garlic rice from the tapsilog. The lugaw I would skip out on. I have more of a citrus palate and prefer arroz caldo or goto, so this porridge was too bland for me. We rounded out the meal with a turon. Unfortunately, it was a little burnt and I was surprised it didn't have the sweet glaze on it. It comes with a dipping sauce of your choice for the added sweetness, but I'd probably skip out on this too.

Got to try their pork egg rolls during a Lunar New Year event at Austin Beerworks. Very friendly and fast service. The eggrolls are crispy and tasty

This used to be a food trailer but now they a brick and mortar shop for their awesome food. This is our go-to place for Philippine food. It's delicious. Their lumpia/egg rolls are our family favorites along with the skewers and pancit. The service is good and the staff is friendly. Support local!

Yummy!!! I'm so glad I found this little spot in the burbs I have been craving the foods of my people and this place definitely hit the spot First of all, I love the packaging...well done yall Not only did the foil keep the entrees warm, but in tact and away from the lumpia allowing them to remain crispy. Everything was delicious and tasted as I'd hoped. Even my dad who is so critical on others pancit, he was pleasantly surprised with theirs and devoured his. The pork adobo was a bit on the vinegary side but that was fine with me because I love that extra tang The breads were decent enough. They were soft but definitely no Valerios. Not I want Valerios! Anyway definitely worth a trip if you're nearby and craving some good Filipino food

You can never have too many egg rolls. I ordered ahead and used the drive through window. It was fast and convenient. You can also dine in with table service. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The hand painted murals give place a great sense of nostalgia.

Delicious crispy filling egg rolls! Friendly service and informative. The drive thru window definitely helps for those fast pick up days.

It's a little Filipino restaurant on Chris Kelley. The restaurant name is a little misleading since eggrolls are only a part of what they sell here. They don't have an extensive menu or anything but food is still good at super reasonable prices. I typically order #1 which is the pancit with 3 eggrolls of your choice for only $10. The portion size was decent too. For the eggrolls, you have an option of pork chicken or vegetarian. As for the other items on the menu, I've also tried their potato soup before and loved it. I think next time I'll try the Filipino spaghetti. They do have a drive thru but we've never used it. I think depending on weather conditions, there will be a sign posted on whether the drive thru option is available. As a side note, for some reason I feel like the portions they give when you dine in is bigger than take out but that honestly might be just perspective on how the plate is laid out.

I had the chicken curry, white rice, and chicken egg rolls and didn't finish the meal. The curry had very minimal sauce so everything was very dry and bland. Nothing was good. I had wanted to try this place because it's a local place. I'll never return. It was about $15 for the one plate.

We tried this spot a month ago and were satisfied with their offerings and will gladly go back to visit and enjoy the food again. We were happy with the egg rolls, and the only CON about Elsie's is that they're closed on the weekends!

They get three stars and I'm being more generous because it's all a matter of taste. We enjoyed Elsie's lumpias when they were a food truck and hadn't eaten them in years. We ordered a garlic rice dish that came with a fried egg on top with your choice of skewer. We got a bbq pork one and it was enjoyed. We ordered pancit noodles, which we have eaten on several occasions, at homes and other restaurants and I am sorry to say these were the worst we collectively have had. Nobody wanted to eat them. I ended up having to jazz them up with flavor and then 2 members of our family agreed to finish them. Their lumpias were ok. I have definitely had both bigger and better. I'm sorry we didn't like it more and won't be returning.

I've been a few times and I think the food has gotten better since the first few times coming. Overall, I think it's a bit pricier than I expect for Filipino food, but I'm also used to home cooked Filipino food. I really enjoy the Kare Kare and turon. . the drive thru has a limited menu items, but at least they have a drive thru. They also sell delicious Filipino breads. I really enjoy the Ube pan de sal

Elsie's Egg Rolls is great! It's a quaint little restaurant in Hutto. It's located beside a few other businesses but it could be easy to miss if you aren't looking for it - luckily it's located off of a heavily trafficked road. There is ample parking out front so you shouldn't have a problem with that. Inside, you'll find around 10 or so tables. The menu isn't extensive but there are plenty of great options! The lumpia (egg rolls) is amazing as you'd expect from the name of the restaurant :) The food portions are quite large especially for the price. You can easily get a meal for under $10. The restaurant also sells some Filipino pastries that you can enjoy. The service was also excellent. You order at the counter and seat yourself and the person who brought us out our food stopped by a few times to check on us and make sure we were doing alright. I am a huge fan and I definitely see myself coming back!

Had a craving for some lumpia. I have been here once before and remembered them being tasty. I went in the drive thru and service was very fast. The lumpia was hot, fresh and flaky. The only reason for them not getting the fifth star was I ordered 3 pork and 3 chicken. They all tasted exactly the same. Not sure if I just got the chicken ones. I ate them all on the way home so that is what I must assume. I will be back.

I plan to leave a more thorough review another day. But for now, I'll say, you should definitely order their pork or chicken egg rolls. Even though, I must say, they are almost very similar in flavor, you won't be disappointed with either. Sometimes we'll just stop by to pick up their homemade coconut bread, which we tend to enjoy at home with coffee during the weekends. Staff are always friendly and exceptional. They are good at letting you know beforehand, when they're running low on an item you expect to buy. But sometimes when we order, they've run out of certain things we wanted more often than we'd like to admit. I wonder if perhaps they underestimate their inventory, or if they need to re-access their strategies to deliver what customers want. Overall, good food, somewhat fair prices, and a great go-to spot for an easy meal for the family.

Amazing comfort food! Definitely recommend the lumpia, kare kare & sinigang!! Lugaw with egg and chicken is the go-to for a cold or sick day. when I need something to remind me of home, but am lazy to cook, this is where I come. Staff is always ready to serve when either dining in or taking out. The food comes out pretty fast too! I will say, you cannot order kare kare through the drive thru, you have to go inside for that! 10/10 definitely recommend.

I've had both the pancit and the spam garlic fried rice (silog) from here. Both were delicious and ready in under 15 min. Ive gotten both orders as to go meals, but the first thing I notice when I walk in here is any of the workers you interact with seem to greet you with a smile and an upbeat attitude, which is both very refreshing and increasingly rare nowadays. The dining room is about 10 tables with cute decorations which add to the ambiance and an open kitchen. The place has been very clean and not packed both times I went in around lunch time. I was at first disappointed that the spam in the fried rice wasn't chopped up and mixed in for me, but after eating the food, I think their way is probably better because I know exactly how much I'm getting and the rice was actually seasoned perfectly, which I thought it might not be without having the spam mixed in (I was wrong). The egg sitting on top instead of cooked in allowed me to enjoy some of the runny goodness of the yolk with my food as well. The pancit I had last week as well as this dish were both cooked perfectly and generous enough portions to fill me up for lunch and have enough left over for a snack later or to share with my 4 year old who also approved. I will definitely be back to try more of their dishes.

This new business is awesome. The lumpia are sorta egg rolls but not. It's all Philippine food so a Chinese egg roll it is not. They are crispy, hand made, and addictive. We often get a bunch to augment our Asian meals at home. The dipping sauces are outstanding. Nothing like sweet and sour but very tangy and also highly addictive. The service is 100% perfect...they're so friendly. Never been inside as their drive through is easy enough. I've tried their Filipino spaghetti and as weird as that seems to me it's pretty awesome. Who knew?

My wife took me back here for dinner a couple of times since my bad experience. We ate inside the restaurant vs getting it to go, both times it was absolutely delicious. The service was great too. The dining room was kinda small but super clean and decorated nicely with a Philippine decor. I'm pretty happy to update this review, I love their Pork Adobo.

As a restaurant, I feel like Elsie's is already an established 10/10. The food and service are great. The prices are reasonable. And the lumpia is consistently the best around. Perfect texture, great flavor, amazing accompanying sauce, yaddayaddayadda. What y'all may not know is how great Elsie's catering service is. They catered my wedding reception last night, and my husband and I were nothing but thrilled with the results. The quality of the food is just like you're in the restaurant. The adobo was of course delicious. The vegetarian curry was very flavorful. Elsie made adjustments to the pancit to accommodate our guests who don't eat pork, and somehow the flavor was still great. She provided a Tuscan chicken dish with mashed potatoes for more finicky palettes that was surprising good. And of course the bbq pork skewers and lumpia were fire. Everyone, including some of our other vendors, complimented the food and service. Great night all around. And let me tell you, Elsie is not here to cheat you just because it's a wedding. I shopped around a bunch of wedding vendors who gave me exorbitant quotes for food that wasn't even close to the same level as what Elsie provided. Her pricing is fair, and the product she provides stands tall amongst her competition. I cannot recommend them enough. If you are looking for a caterer in the greater Austin area, this is it.

This place has the best service and lumpia is always on point. I look forward to to Friday for my takeout.

Yummyyy This place is worth the 30 minute drive. So good and delicious. I ordered my favorite kare kare and as someone who grew up eating this, this is the best kare kare I've tried in Texas. Lumpia? Soooo Delicous! It's nice that the kare kare and some other dishes come with rice, soup and a peice of lumpia ( pork, chicken or veggies lumpia). The turon was also the topper, I like how I could just get one peice of turon for 1.99 :] Service was great and the place was small, cute and intimate. I'll be back. My new favorite place, if you're a filipino craving a taste of home filipino food, come here!! Bring your friends for a taste of our culture.

I would recommend to try it. So many options, pancit noodles, chicken egg rolls, pork adobo. You can't go wrong with the chicken egg rolls, pan it noodles didn't have much flavor unless you add fish sauce. Pork adobo was ok, small portions for to go order, and I would have liked to see chicken adobo instead since that is more Filipino than the pork. If I return, I think I will stick with a variety of egg rolls. Give a 3.5 for food and 4 for originality since you don't come across to many Filipino restaurants.

The food was delicious just a little too oily for my liking. The staff were amazing; super friendly and helpful with ordering. I love the vegetable egg rolls!!

Nice clean restaurant. Looking forward to finally getting Philippine food. Been too long. Ordered the Pancit Noodles combo: Filipino Noodles with Pork, topped with chicken and vegetables and three Lumpia (egg rolls). Some Hot green tea because it was cold. The wife ordered Silog (garlic fried rice, topped with egg with a BBQ skewer). Then mother in law ordered Luglaw (rice porridge/ confee). The porridge had a wonderful lemongrass flavor and my mother in law loved it. The Silog fried rice was awesome too. The pancit was decent. Great service and we definitely recommend this stop. If you've never tried this kind of food you are in for a treat. We asked if we could buy the Jeepney in the curio cabinet but we got a No. oh well

I so wanted to like these egg rolls, but I could not eat them. I threw them out and had cereal for dinner. My egg rolls were greasy, burnt, and lacked flavor. The meat filling tasted like vinegar. The veggie filling had potential but was swimming in grease. I know you are supposed to expect some grease with a fried egg roll, but this was too much. The shell to filling ratio is off, which really accents the grease in the shell. My dessert egg roll was burnt black. This will not be a repeat place for me. The average review score was misleading to me.

I love the lumpia here and want to try the silog with the beef and an egg. Pork bar be que skewers are also delicious.

I've only tried their veggie egg rolls, and they were delicious! The sauce was also good. They were very friendly, and service was quick.

Yay!!!! So happy and proud of Elsie's egg rolls for opening their first brick and mortar. We have loved their food back when we first tried it when their truck was near the farmers market on 79. We have followed them on Facebook to keep up with where they go through the years. The drive thru was open so I went through the drive thru. I pulled into curbside spot #2 and my food was out shortly after that. Delicious and love how crispy their lumpias are. I always get the spicy sauce to dip them in. It's sweet with a kick. If you have not tried them...what are you waiting for?!

Most authentic Filipino food (Luzon) that I've found. Elsie is a sweetheart. This place is worth a try if you've never had Filipino food, and worth a detour if you love it.

Something is not right here.... And this is what I'm trying to figure out. They either: 1). Had an authentic Filipino owner that actually made good foods before (hence the high rating) and was bought by someone else recently... whom does NOT know how Filipino food or even general Asian foods suppose to taste like. 2). They ran out of AALLLLL seasoning that day 3). They have Covid, and can not taste the foods 4). All the people who gave high ratings/stars doesn't know how Filipino foods taste like or are lying. I take A LOT of pride in Asian foods in general (I'm from Cali) and although I understand Asian foods are not the top tier, in this part of Texas.... This have to be the worst. And I'm trying my best not to mean but disappointment can't even start to explain how I feel. It's like they have never even heard of salt and garlic. Every thing is PLAIN! and no I don't have Covid... trust me I tasted other foods to confirm because my mind was blown about how crappy the foods were it's like tasting paper...I want to give it benefit of the doubt and say maybe they were just having a bad day.....but whatever it is I'm not risking another bad food experience from here, I won't be coming back. P.S I ordered a little of everything, egg roll, spaghetti, banana egg roll... etc $40 work of foods. I was packing and moving that day and was starving... chicken noodle soup would've tasted like a party in my mouth. Im only writing a review because I saw the high rating and thought I would give it a try.... And I don't want others to think the same and make the same mistake. If you have never tasted good asian foods before and want to give it try.... Sure go for it, customer service is cool, they speak English and it is easy to order. But if you're like me and have been exposed to diverse Asian foods.... Don't bother. Unless you're starving, hand tied, and force to eat here.

Great Filipino food! This restaurant has great customer service great food. My favorite dish is Cardi Cardi, and their steak with rice. Highly recommend.

Service was good but the food wasn't great. When I got my plate the noodles were hot but my chicken was very cold like they just got the chicken out the fridge and topped the plate with it.

Can't believe I haven't written a review as much as I get egg rolls from here. I always saw the Elsie's Egg Rolls food truck, but never ordered anything. When they opened their store, I said I need to try this place. So we went there one day and ordered the vegetable, chicken, and pork eggs rolls. Oh my goodness! They were the best egg rolls I've ever eaten. We literally went there every day that week to order more. When I order food from places that sell egg rolls, I won't even order the egg rolls anymore because I know they won't compare to Elsie's. So I just order my food and then make a trip to Elsie's to order egg rolls. Seems like a lot? Nah! It's okay, the egg rolls are the best so it's worth the extra trip.

The food truck used to go to my office. Food is still great at the brick and mortar. Egg rolls are always super nommy.

When you first walk in, it is a very small dining area, but the drive-thru had at least five cars wrapped around the side of the building. We enjoyed our meal very much, the food was tasty and delicious and our server, Sarah , was very friendly & helpful with some of the menu items when we asked her questions. The restaurant was clean and so was the restroom.

Delicious delicious Philippine cuisine a must try !! If you've never tried this a great place to try for the first time and Elsie was super sweet and friendly.

Absolutely delicious food consistently. One of my favorite places to eat. Have tried many dishes and have never been disappointed. Elsie is a total sweetheart and I always look forward to seeing her.

It was my first visit today and I was so excited to try some authentic Filipino food. The place was very warm and welcoming. Excellent service but of course we go there to enjoy the food. My wife had Kare kare, it was tasty but the lumpia was bland. The Adobo was a big disappointment for me. It was runny and bland. I'm gonna go back and try something else and hopefully I won't get disappointed.

Great pancit and lumpia, and the owner is very nice as well. If you are in Hutto I highly recommend

Since I've been away from home, I miss lumpia the most and this place just brought ALL THE NOSTALGIA! They're even bigger than the ones my sister makes, but just as delicious. The care taken to create them is visible - you can't go wrong with chicken, pork, or veggie filling (I always get the combo). But I highly recommend the spicy dipping oil. Update: 6/8, the spicy dipping sauce was a different color and consistency. Still good, but preferred the old recipe. Also - look for their 10% off coupon on the backs of your H-E-B receipts!

Really good egg rolls. The Filipino breakfast was delicious. The best garlic fried rice I've had, moist and garlicky.

Loved, loved this place when it was a food truck. Food was consistent and reasonably priced. Since they became a restaurant, a lot has gone downhill. Hours have been inconsistent, because of family events, which may be acceptable as a food truck, but patrons to restaurants expect consistent hours. The food quality is not as good. They added to the food truck menu. One of which is the Filipino spaghetti, which is one of our favorite entrees. Sadly, half the time it is burnt. They've told me they've had issues with the food heaters, then they were fixed, then issues again. The chicken curry, which was plentiful and delicious before has been reduced in size to fit within their foil wrappers. The pancit and bbq pork skewers are pretty consistently good, although you can be expected to wait for five minutes for the pork skewers. No problem, I'll happily wait for fresh food. But besides all this, I think the food has increased in price three or four times since they lived to the restaurant and the food quality has dropped. We've called in several times for soggy or rancid tasting egg rolls, burnt spaghetti, or otherwise. Please bring back the quality and pricing of the food truck!

The egg rolls are lit! The curry chicken was too dry for my liking, but I removed the chicken and added my own leftover protein. The curry sauce was a nice flavor but I won't order it again. The spotlight is absolutely the egg rolls. They were so good I returned the next day for more.

Everything I had was wonderful. Pork skewer, lumpia, garlic rice (woah!), silog, pork adobo....every bite of food I tried was super flavorful and perfectly cooked. I'll definitely be back!

I really, really wanted to like this place. Just picked up 3 dozen pork, 3 count chicken, and half a dozen veggie eggrolls. You want the good news first or the bad news? Good news: the pork and chicken eggrolls were nice and crunchy, beautifully wrapped, and initially had a good flavor. Bad news: after the first bite, the pork and chicken eggrolls had a strong sour taste, very tangy and the more you ate, the more over powering it became. I first thought they were spoiled but they did t have a spoiled taste, just very sour! The veggie eggrolls were just an immediate "no". They were greasy, soggy, and swimming in oil in the container. I had to use all the napkins provided to sop up the grease. They were also a lot smaller and barely had any filling. Some were burnt and cracked open. Will not be back...

Delicious! I ordered the adobo pork and spaghetti with fries and all 3 eggrolls. I went through the drive through. They directed me towards curbside pickup (which was odd since there was no one behind me). Food came out 10 minutes later. Employees were nice.
