F & F

I was under the impression that it would be authentic filipino food but this didn't taste like it. The lumpia was seasoned differently. Ididnt taste like the classic lumpia flavor its known for. Also the bbq was super dry and the sauces didnt go with either dish.

It's been a while since we last had food at this eatery located at the food court inside Lotte Plaza. The food was tasty overall, and we felt it was more fusion than traditional Filipino food. The price was reasonable. Service was okay, but nothing exceptional. There was not much of an interior atmosphere as it is one of the eateries inside the food court, and there were plenty of seats.

Asked for bagoong on the side, was told they could accommodate. Ordered pinakbet, sisig, and pancit. They argued with me about not giving me bagoong even though I was told I would be given some. There was a hair in the sisig. They re-cooked it. There was a SECOND HAIR IN THE SISIG. Pancit was bland. Ambiance was like a cafeteria. Irene was the rude cashier and the cook.

Very friendly service, tasty cooked to order food, made fairly quick, and reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. But more importantly the taste. Classic Filipino taste with a slight flare. Hard to describe exactly, except for me, it was delicious!

First time trying this place. It did not disappoint! I ordered the palabok and the Longsilog. Both were good sized servings. The palabok isn’t super traditional taste-wise (it is a fusion place) but it had lots of pork and shrimps. Both dishes tasted delicious. Will try other dishes in the future. Tip- call ahead to make sure they’re open before you come.

Be transported to the islands of the Philippines when you come to this delicious Filipino food stall. Its located at a food court inside Lotte, a korean grocery store. Chef Irene is so kind & incredibly passionate about the food that she makes and one bite of her Chicken Adobo or Liempo will have you feeling like you are in Cebu or Manilla :) I've been two different times with my brother and every single dish that we have tried is easily 10/10. Each dish explodes with flavor and their breakfast dishes will have you rethinking what you eat in the morning! The dishes that we've tried (in order of appearance in the pics) include the Chicken Inasal, Liempo, Garlic Longanisa, Chicken Adobo & the Pork Molasses Tocino. For spicy lovers, you will absolutely love the Chicken Inasal (Pic 1). I believe its grilled on charcoal as it comes to the table incredibly smoky with charred bits. Its basted with a marinade that contains a lot of chili peppers, so if you like spicy food - this is the dish for you!! For chicken lovers that want something on the less spicy side, the Chicken Adobo (Pic 4) will be perfect. Slightly sweet & slighty savory from the soy sauce, sugar, rice wine vinegar marinade - you will be blown away with how tender (and how much chicken) you get for this dish of $10. Try the Garlic Pork Longanisa (Pic 3) to completely change your thinking on what a breakfast sausage should be :) Packed full of garlic & cane sugar, its the perfect way to to begin your day as it comes with a nice fried egg and a scoop of rice. Another incredible breakfast dish that comes complete with a fried egg and scoop of rice is the Pork Molasses Tocino (Pic 5). By far the TASTIEST pork belly I have ever had as it is covered in a delicious molasses, soy, garlic marinade. Definitely on the sweet side, but thats why I love it so much :) If you want a more savory, tangy pork dish - go for the Liempo (Pic 2) as it has lemon juice and rice wine vinegar in its marinade. It also has much more pork belly compared to the Pork Molasses Tocino, but thats why its $15 versus $10 for the other pork belly dish. Its been such an amazing experience at this food stall the two times I've been here, and I can't wait to go back (Pork Sisig & Lechon Kawali are next up)! If you love traditional, home style Filipino cooking that will be served to you an amazing, passionate cook in Chef Irene - this restaurant is for you!

I feel like they changed their cook. The sinigang and pancit do not taste the same as before. It tastes different than the usual Filipino food your lola/nanay would cook at home. I added more water to the sinigang because it was too salty. The lechon kawali and Bicol express were very good though.

Fantastic Filipino food, which is severely lacking in Chantilly. I had the pork Sisig which was very crispy with a mix of tangy and savory flavors. Would highly recommend both the restaurant and the dish.

BEST CHICKEN ADOBO EVER: If you're looking for authentic Filipino flavors that hit all the right notes--savory, tangy, and perfectly balanced--this is the place to go. The chicken adobo here is tender, fall-off-the-bone perfection, but the real star is the sauce. It's the most flavorful adobo sauce I've ever had--rich, garlicky, with just the right balance of soy sauce and vinegar, plus a slight sweetness that I absolutely loved. You'll be craving it long after your meal, and trust me, it will bring you back for more. But that's not all! We also tried their Shrimp Kalabasa, and it was just as incredible. The shrimp were plump and juicy, the kalabasa (pumpkin) was soft and naturally sweet, and the green beans added the perfect crunch. The sauce tied everything together beautifully, making every bite comforting and satisfying. Despite the humble appearance of this restaurant in the Food Court, the chef here is top-rate--every dish is packed with bold, authentic flavors that stand out. Service was warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. Next time, I'm definitely trying their sisig--if it's anything like the dishes I had, I already know it's going to be amazing!

The litson kawali was not good, the fried rice was worst ( too soft)/moist) plus it's overpriced given the quality and quantity Don't waste your time and money. The food court was dirty esp the tables.

Does anyone know if this place is temporarily or permanently close??? I went to this place on 3 different times and every time they have a sign that say they are close. I know they are close on Monday. It will be nice to give your customers more info. What's the deal??

Honestly, I didn't have high expectations of this place given its location in an old Lotte food court. The second the food came out, I said "ohhhhh" and changed my mind. The food was served in cute little stainless steel skillets, making for great food presentation. We ordered the pork Pinakbet and the Palabok. Both were hot and fresh. The Palabok is probably the best I've ever had with a delicious sauce, ample meat, egg, and Scallions, and all topped off with crispy chicharon. Add that squeeze of lemon and....perfection. The pinakbet was also really good. The veggies were fresh, not overcooked in the slightest. Nothing was greasy. I would absolutely come here again!

Cute little pop up stall in the Chantilly Lotte. Food is cooked to order so it's fresh and hot. It's easy to walk up and order off their menu, some food have photos. We chose a seat across from the food stand. It's delivered by a staff member in super cute mini woks. The staff was friendly and asked if we needed anything. I got the lechon kawali and the skin was nice and crispy. The meat may have been a bit over fried but I honestly only order this for the fat/ skin. Comes with white rice and some sauce. I also got the tocino and surprised that it was pork belly. It was delicious and tender and sweet. I am not used to tocino made this way but I will definitely recommend it for future purchases.

First time trying filipino cuisine. Not sure if it wasn't my taste or food wasn't good, but I would say you would feel little too greasy half way through. I got sisig&lechon. Sisig was marinated with mayo and lechon is fried pork. You may think portions are small when you first get it BUT it feels very heavy afterward. Lechons were maybe little over fried than crispy because it was too hard to chew if you have teeth problem and sisig was little spicy due to raw onions. Just be aware if you are trying this cuisine for the first time. This place is a food court inside Lotte Plaza so it is very accessible. Also the food court has dividers between seats so it felt more comfortable than other food courts.

The food was delicious. The service was great and the ambiance was just ok. It's in a food hall and not in the nicest part of the store. I liked their sinigang and you will too.

We drove about 40 minutes to get here to find out that it is inside Lotte Market. It's one of the food court. We ordered Bangus Sisig cost $35 and Palabok $15 because pork sinigang, lumpia, and a bunch of their menus are all gone and it's only 1:30pm. Hard to believe after eating the food. Tito who was in the cashier did not really know how to provide customer service. Cant hear him talk. The bangus was a lot but only had a cup of rice. Im ok with that since I don't really eat a lot of rice. But the bangus?!?! Not warmed or hot, maybe microwaved? Like straight out of the refrigerator not made to order. Disappointed. The palabok was very saucy but didn't taste any closer to palabok that i know. Overall, its a no for me and my family. My husband and my son ended up eating at the next door food stall.

F&F Filipino Fusion is located in the Lotte Market. And it appears to be about two, maybe three folks in the kitchen. I loved the hub's pick of the pork belly adobo; it was so flavorful! My pick of the chicken pancit was quite the opposite. The pork belly adobo was wonderfully delicious. The pork fat def added additional flavors to the dish. The sauce itself had a slight sweetness to it even though it's a soy sauce base. There was a good portion of pork belly, but I thought there could have been more. Perhaps a tad bit more meat or even a side of something to balance the dish out. The pancit came with a good portion. I chose the chicken option; it was more on the bland side. I guess the vermicelli noodles and blanched veggies doesn't scream taste bud overload. Overall, this dish lacked major flavors. I'm personally not a fan of vermicelli noodles so that's a problem with this pick. I also think they do catering services/take large orders as well as I overhead a large party asking about it.

About a 1-1.5: F&F Filipino Fusion is one of the food court options at the Lotte grocery store - they describe themselves as offering 'fresh meals created by family for families', and their menu includes small bites, all-day breakfast, pangasinan sisig, sinigang, adobo and grilled items, pancit bihon, and drinks. Since we came to try another place out as a main priority, I still wanted to give this place a try - I ordered the shanghai, which was filled with ground beef, carrots, red bell peppers, onions, and garlic in an eggroll wrapper. While it came out piping out, the taste was just not good - the filling of the ground beef had a weird bouncy/rubbery texture, and it didn't really taste like beef; the combination of spices/seasonings was just not what I was used to, and the dipping sauce didn't help, either. Also, I felt that with 3 pieces for the price (they halved them, so they were '6 pieces') didn't justify the price and the taste. I'm thinking that their main entrees may be more of a popular pick, as there are rave reviews on them. Staff were friendly, and they don't hand out a buzzer; they actually bring your items to you. I'm glad I was able to give this place a try, but don't think I'd return. +avoid the lumpias +friendly service +located inside Lotte Plaza +plenty of parking in large plaza lot

Authentic Filipino food that doesn't break the bank. F&F quickly stole my heart (and tummy) with their delicious pork sisig and sinigang--I've tried both the salmon and pork sinigang (on different occasions of course) and they are all a must try. The pork sisig is what keeps me coming back since not my restaurants offer this mouthwatering dish. I have tried several restaurants but the sisig left much to be desired. F&F's sisig is a super delicious variation so I was ecstatic to have stumbled upon this quaint lil eatery that has a variety of authentic Filipino dishes!

August 2022 - COVID Review: I happened to be in the area since I was waiting for my car to be serviced in the same shopping center and needed some lunch. I wasn't sure what to expect of F&F since it's located inside the Lotte food court but I was happily surprised! The prices are a little bit higher than expected (maybe due to high rent prices) but there were a good variety of Filipino food options on the menu. I got the bbq sticks and some lumpia. The bbq sticks were pretty good but a little bit dry on the inside. The lumpia was almosttt as good as my mother-in-law's! I would definitely be back to try more from the menu.

Grocery store food courts always surprise me with hidden gems. This filipino place was no different as it was interesting to see a bunch of options that you don't see in your run-of-the mill restaurant downtown that claims to have filipino food. I would say that the portions are slightly on the large side, which is great but presents a difficulty if you want to try a variety of different items. The lechon pork belly is absolutely divine and to be recommended. If I had another stomach, I would try one of the limited full fish dishes.

Very friendly service, tasty cooked to order food, made fairly quick, and reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. But more importantly the taste. Classic Filipino taste with a slight flare. Hard to describe exactly, except for me, it was delicious!

First time trying this place. It did not disappoint! I ordered the palabok and the Longsilog. Both were good sized servings. The palabok isn't super traditional taste-wise (it is a fusion place) but it had lots of pork and shrimps. Both dishes tasted delicious. Will try other dishes in the future. Tip- call ahead to make sure they're open before you come.

Some of the beta Filipino food in the area. The service is on point. I love their Ube based desserts and their lumpia and chicken dishes are all top notch. Their crispy pata is also very nice. I had to go back immediately after discovering it.

Got there and waited and waited. A worker behind a curtain looked right at me but just continued doing whatever he was doing. I waited 10 minutes before anyone came out. The large chicken Inasal ($20) was not worth the money. Had a good taste, but 3 pieces of chicken for $20??? The chicken Pancit wasn't that good. Peculiar taste, kind of plain. The bbq for $6.75, also not worth the money. 3 very small skewers, with small pieces of pork...spent $41, and will never do that again...there..

Avoid if you can. One of the worst Filipino food I ever had. I ordered liempo and lumpiang shanghai. Liempo was charred, tough (not tender) and lacked flavor - simple marinade of soy sauce with sprite, garlic would have fixed this. Lumpiang shanghai lacked flavor, overcooked and was not wrapped properly. It's a shame to even associate to Filipino cuisine. They don't even deserve a one-star rating.

Tasted good food and the server was nice. Quality of food was decent, but the portion was too small for $15 per person. Just entrees only, no sides or drinks included. This is the food court of an Asian supermarket, not Tysons Corner's food court. I hope they offer a little more reasonable price.

One of my dear friends surprised me at my house with lunch! The menu was Filipino food. I've had Filipino food a few times in my life so I ordered the dishes that I am familiar with, which includes the pancit (simple noodle dish cooked with a protein and vegetables), pork garlic longanisa (sweet sausage), and lechon kawali (braised pork belly). Every dish was packed with flavor. My husband loved the lechon kawali. It was tender, fatty, and tasty. I can taste the sweet sugar and bits of garlic and salty soy sauce in the longanisa. The flavors were so bold, I had to eat them together with rice to mellow out the taste. The pancit was a bit peppery and my toddler couldn't finish her portion. I don't mind the overpowering taste of pepper personally. But it would be nice if they used less. Everything was good. I did feel everything was a bit too greasy and salty for my taste. The longanisa and Lechon definitely needed to be eaten together with rice. Still delicious and more Filipino options near me!

This is tucked in the back corner of an Asian grocery store. The front of the food place is pretty simple and I didn't know what to expect. We ordered food and it took a bit to come out but it was worth the wait! I was trying to find a Filipino restaurant in the area cause I wanted some comfort food and this definitely hit the spot. I got the lechon kawali and it was perfection. Just the right amount of fat to meat ratio and the crunch it was spectacular. My husband got the ginataang with shrimp and the pork bbq and they were just as delicious! We finished the whole thing. Definitely recommend if you're looking for some simple but good Filipino food!

Delish?! Why yes they are!!! I went here after a cousin of mine told me about this place - I had to try a new restaurant from my people! The place is inside the Lotte food court area. We ordered the Chicken Inasal, Pork Bicol Express (my favorite), Bangus Sisig, and Pancit Bihon. I have to say, the food was sooooo good we finished it all! Didn't think we'd do it but we enjoyed the food that much. We also ordered suman (rice cake) and bico for dessert, and they were equally as good as the hot dishes. Only reason for one less star is because of how long we had to wait. The food is cooked to order, and we had to wait half an hour... might as well go grocery shopping around Lotte. If the place was a sit down type of restaurant then I probably would've given it a 5 star; however, since it's a food court style place I'd think it would be quicker. I'm sure as they start getting in the grove they'll get speedier. Overall, I thought the food was really good, and I am definitely planning on coming back. I really hope they start seeing more business because they're a hidden gem as of right now. If you're reading this just go eat here! You won't regret it

Second time back and we finally got to eat dine in. Their plating is so cute, using mini cooking pans that's used back in Philippines! We had to have the pork sisig again and it was delicious! We also tried the salmon sinigang which we truly enjoyed. They used fresh tamarind, adding a slightly sweet taste to this tangy soup. Will be coming back again and again for sure!

This is quite close to the Dulles Expo Center, so it was a nice option for a post-convention meal. F&F is located in a food court area inside Lotte (when you enter the store, it's in the back, right corner). We came on a Sunday around 4:30pm and it was pretty quiet. The man who took our order was friendly and after we paid for the food, I'm pretty sure he promptly went into the kitchen to help prepare our meals. Between the four of us, we had different varieties of pancit (veggie, chicken, and pork) and pork tocino. Everyone loved their food and said it was quite tasty. We're not often in the Dulles area, but it's nice to know this is out there if we feel like going back!

Orders via DoorDash, the food was hot, but lacked flavor. Ordered the Pancit, Shanghai and Pork Adobo. The adobo was more citrus than anything. Oh...I got a side of garlic rice...I haven't tasted it. Shrug I wouldn't order from here again.

I was super excited to try this place and I was a bit disappointed with the price and taste. We did takeout and ordered pork sinigang and pork pinakbet. Considering it's in a Lotte food court, the prices are a bit in the pricier side. The sinigang, while looking absolutely delicious, tasted sweet which is absolutely ridiculous for sinigang. It tasted more like Vietnamese canh chua than sinigang. The pinakbet looked absolutely delicious as well and had a good heat/spice but was missing the bagoong (shrimp paste) taste that makes pinakbet amazing. Again, I was really disappointed since the reviews were so high for this place.

Great, authentic Filipino food. Irene is a very talented chef, who is a great ambassador for Filipino cuisine.

First time ordering from here and I ordered takeout, so can't say much about the service and interior. Though the food was phenomenal and filling. I ordered the Chicken Inasal and the Shanghai. The Shanghai was good with an interesting dipping sauce, but the Chicken was the star of the show. The meat was juicy, tender, and flavorful, as it was marinated in a sweet bbq sauce. Overall, it makes me want to try Filipino food again.

They have, hands down, the best Pork Garlic Longanisa! The place is clean and sanitized, the service is the epitome of the legendary Filipino hospitality - excellent, friendly and warm! They gave meticulous thought on food presentation to feed the eyes and soon after I had the first bite, I was texting my friends and family about it! I found the perfect Christmas potluck food! Can't wait to try their Beef Tapa, the Pork Molasses Tocino and their Chicken Inasal! I'll be back soon for sure! It is located inside Lotte Chantilly so it's very easy to find and plenty of parking spots. They are open at 10 am everyday (closed on Mondays) and they close at 6pm, so better hurry, get there early to try them out! Kudos to the Filipina Chef and owner, and her sister who serves at the front, may you continue to thrive!

I read an article about this restaurant in Northern Virginia magazine's November issue. I'm so glad they wrote about this place or I would never have found it! F&F is inside Lotte in Chantilly. I went there today to give it a try and the food was great. I ordered grilled liempo (pork belly). It was very nice and flavorful. I also ordered chicken adobo to go. I have to say, their adobo is really good. I'm very picky when it comes to adobo and their version had just the right amount of tang and spice. It's so hard to find Filipino restaurants in the area and I'm happy that I can come here anytime I'm craving Filipino food. I do wish they served halo-halo. Halo-halo would be so awesome, esp. in the summer.

We stopped by and had their pork sisig it was served with garlic rice. Very good portion for $12 and it came out hot and fresh!they were super friendly and then I also had the Calamansi juice, I liked it so much I went back for seconds!

The food here is so good! Chicken Adobo is very yummy. Liempo is really delicious. Looking forward to trying other dishes they have.

The service was wonderful. Very friendly and welcoming. Food was really enjoyable and had lots of flavor, many different options to choose from. Definitely was excited to find such a great family restaurant.

This place is the best! I was really missing Filipino food after moving here from the SF Bay Area and this place hits the spot! Reminds me of all the smaller mom and pop food places in California. I normally get the pork sisig, which is really good. Nice and crispy. Try their homemade juice too. The homemade calamansi is awesome. Also, the lady that normally works here is super nice!

I've been craving pinakbet and couldn't believe there is a Filipino restaurant in the Lotte grocery store. The food was fresh, delicious and reasonably priced. I had the pork lechon Kawali, and pork pinakbet. The pinakbet had a great mixtures of Filipino vegetable. It was so good! The pork lechon is crispy and flavorful. I will be back for more!

The sinigang tasted spoiled and weirdly sweet. I was also given old rice. The pork tasted spiked.

F&F Filipino Fusion is the real deal! The food is prepared well and very tasty. Honestly didn't know what to get so we went with all the common Filipino entrees. First the Lechon. The skin was super crispy and the meat was juicy and tender. Every bite was perfectly balanced and even better when paired with the sauce. The Sisig hit all your taste buds. It was spicy, crunchy, and tender all at the same time. The Loginisa was packed with flavor pairs perfectly with the rice and sauce. All in all, super excited I tried this place. I will be back many times!

Always great service and we drive there from Alexandria for the food. It's your typical type cantina since it is inside a grocery store so don't expect the best location.

Very solid filipino food spot. Had the beef tapa, lipa shanghai and the sinigang. Sinigang could be a little sour for those who are not used to it but other than that the presentation was very nice and unique.

Traveling for business and found this amazing spot!! Filipino food is on of my favorites and F&F fusion is an awesome place! The only thing I can say is that I wish it came with more rice! I will be back on my next trip!!!!!

Glad we tried and discovered this place! I shopped at the Lotte before, but didn't realize they had a Filipino restaurant. Parents we're in town and wanted to try. We ordered Tilapia with eggplant, Pork Sisig, Lechon Kawali, Bihon & Canton Pancit combo with chicken, pork pinakbet, and Shanghai lumpia. The portions were generous and I had to take some home. The food was great and service was so warm and friendly. We will definitely be back!

My parents and I were excited to try their food and support the fellow flip fam. We ordered for dinner, but didn't know they were already out of a bunch of stuff since it was the end of the day --- so good to know for the future! We bought a bunch of stuff, and everything was delicious. Our ONLY critique was the pancit bihon had way too much pepper. My 6yo and 2yo love pancit, but they the pepper was just too strong for them and they couldn't eat any of it. All the other food we got was very tasty! - Lumpia shanghai - Garlic Pork Longanisa - Pork Sinigang (my parents really loved this one, and they make their own too) - Lechon Kawali (perfect ratio of meat & fat) We'll definitely be back and spread the word about this place!

The food is good! The service is attentive. I would definitely recommend visiting F&F. They are located in the back corner of the Lotte Supermarket, in a food court setting.

There Pork or chicken adobo and kare-kare, which is well known filipino foods is missing.

Regular customer here, grew up in the Philippines and I can say the food is always on point! Staff are very kind :) My favorite is the Chicken Inasal and Tapa!

Liempo was amazing! Beef Shanghai was good! Would definitely recommend and come back to try some other items on the menu. They also cater so keep them in mind for the Holidays folks! Support your local small businesses.

Ordered the lechon kawali..very good..plenty of food, comes with a side of rice and some sort of sweet sauce. It was very juicy and just the right amount of crispiness. I did find it very heavy, but what can you expect with deep fried pork belly. I would not get it as my sole meal next time but woild 100% order it again with something to go with it.

Saw they had filipino spaghetti for a day and had been wanting to give it a try. Finally after asking a lot, they made some! :D Really delicious. Sweet sauce and salty cheese I think? on top And sausage mixed in here and there. Definitely don't expect it to be like an Italian spaghetti. Definitely not something I can eat daily. or even weekly. But, fun to have once in awhile. Saw they had some new flavors of juice as well. Passion fruit and Strawberry flavor. One thing about their juice is that it is ridiculously sweet. I have to mix it with a full 500ml of water to make it normal sweetness. So, more juice I suppose! Especially for the price. For NOVA area, I think the prices are very fair for the menu items.

Even though you will find them inside Lotae grocery store it has some good food and the main lady I see there is so nice and I think she is the main cook.
