Fili-Taste Grill & Restaurant

The food tasted pretty good! Only thing is they forgot about us while we were waiting for our order to go. They left our food on the table bagged up for about 15 minutes before they gave it to us. We were originally going to wait outside but they insisted that we wait inside. No problem might as well sit down. We thought we saw our order bagged up on the table but we figured they would have let us know! I tipped too and everyone was nice. I noticed they were also paying attention to dine in customers so I thought it wasn't our order. Finally 15 minutes later they said "Oh sorry about that here's your order" I said thank you but noticed and looked back it was the same exact bag from the counter. For the price of everything and what I ordered I would at least like my food hot. By the time I walked home a few minutes later it was cold. It tasted good but I feel like I would have loved it if I got it when it was originally meant to get to me. Also I feel like the amount of meat on the skewers were small compared to other places.

Absolutely loved dining at Fili Taste! The atmosphere is inviting, and the food is a delightful showcase of authentic flavors. Every dish we tried was beautifully prepared and bursting with incredible flavors. One of the best Filipino spots around.

Great service! The employees were so nice and helpful. Very clean spot. The pork lumpia and lechon was excellent. A good sized portion for 2 people. Right on the Mission so go for a stroll and stop in for some energy like we did.

Easy 5 stars for me. If I can give a 10 star I would and I must say this is my new favorite place in Mission in San Francisco to eat. The seating is comfortable and well spaced. The Staff was attentive and friendly. The menu was great and had some really nice options. I really thought the street was amazing and the inasal is to die for I can honestly say it is top notch. The restaurant is well maintained and very clean which was a win win for me.

Our dinner at Fili-Taste was sensational! The food was spectacular, each dish burst with authentic flavors, showcasing the rich taste of the Philippines. We tried almost all the dishes in the menu and they were delightful, and yes, even the chicken feet, that I love, and a start for the Fili Chicken, delicious!!! The service was exceptional, they were attentive, friendly and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty of Filipino cuisine with their guests. Overall, Fili-Taste is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy delicious Filipino Food. Highly recommended!!!

I ordered couple plates to try out authentic Philippine food and I could not be happier. The taste is amazing, service and atmosphere was phenomenal. I will definitely go back .

Tried this Filipino restaurant along Mission Street, San Francisco. Ordered one of their lunch combo, liempo with pork lumpia and their version of Bicol express (pork cooked in a rich coconut milk sauce with chili peppers, onions, garlic, ginger with string beans), opt not to have spicy. Wow! The taste was amazing! Oh, you do have to take into mind that their steamed rice serving is quite generous. So plan the amount of your order. Also, the soy sauce and vinegar they make for your grilled order are a must-have while eating. My takeaway from this restaurant visit, if you've ever experienced traveling in provinces in the Philippines and making a stop at one of those town restaurants, this is it!

I’ve chosen Fili-Taste for celebrating my birthday, my friends never had Filipino food before and, they loved. How nice is experiencing new cuisines and found out amazing dishes, like the ones they serve in this restaurant.

Good authentic Filipino restaurant. Food and service are good. Ambiance feels like i am on mother country. Definitely coming back again.

GREAT FILIPINO FOOD. Super greasy, fried, garlicky. You might come in and think that it's closed, but trust me, the employees are just in the back. Ring the bell and they'll come. 10/10 would come back.

I'm so glad I ordered from here! It was 2 days to my child's birthday and I needed to order food for the party fast. This place popped up on Yelp! I called them on a Friday night close to closing time and inquired about ordering, but also explained that I'd like to taste their food first and will try to get there by closing. The owner was very nice and said...don't worry I'll cook for you so you can taste the food and I'll wait for you. Like what in the world! Who does that?! That's already 10 star service!!! The food was delicious! We ordered half tray of chicken inasal, half tray pancit with chicken, half tray chicken skewers, Shanghai, bangus and pork sisig, and chop suey. Everything was flavorful. Those chicken skewers were tender and juicy. Shanghai is fresh, never frozen. My entire family loved the food and all night I was asked where did I order from. Also, comparing to other Filipino restaurants, this place is affordable. The vibe is relaxing and casual with bamboo decor and has a small stage where they have live music a couple times a month. I have to come back and check out the band. Support this new local businesses. They are hardworking, kind, and the food is amazing.

If you've been fortunate to go visit a matriarchal Filipino home, you know that you'll NEVER go hangry. They'll feed you until your pants seams bust and send you home with Tupperware of leftovers. Then, the next time you visit, she'll say, you've gotten "fluffy"....but in a blunt way. Several months ago, I called Pampanguena Cuisine for a lumpia tray and the phone just kept ringing. Come to find out, they closed and Fili Taste Grill & Restaurant took its place in in early June 2024 . They're open for takeout and dine-in. No outdoor seating. While there was no lola onsite, dining at Fili Taste felt like an extension of their home and we left with plenty of leftovers. M E N U Filipino Fare - Array of skewers and a handful of a la carte dishes: Sizzling Sisig, Fili [Grilled] Chicken, Lechon Kawali (fried pork belly), Grilled Jumbo Squid, and Bitter Melon Soup. Combo plates available during lunch from 11 AM - 3 PM: Two proteins/lumpia plus rice for $14.99. If you spend over $35 for two people, it's FREE unlimited rice. Order at the counter (pick your skewers), seat yourself, and pay after you're finished eating. F O O D * SKEWERS ($2 each): https://tinyurl.com/4z8szcb7 - Pork BBQ - Chicken BBQ - Pork Stomach - Hot Dog - Chicken Feet - Chicken Heart (x2) - sorry no pic - Kwek-Kwek: Battered + deep fried quail eggs Fili is one of two Filipino restos in the bay to have such a large array of skewers (like Dollar Hits in LA). Most of the skewers are brushed with a savory sweet glaze and perfect if you're looking to get a good sampling of proteins. * Inihaw na Pusit: Grilled Jumbo Squid ($14.99): https://tinyurl.com/mryfcde7 Tender and pleasantly chewy with a nice char. Make sure to grab some housemade soy-vinegar-chili dipping sauce from their condiment station. * Fili Chicken, Inasal-Style ($14.99): https://tinyurl.com/msn9ta3p Everyone has their own recipe/variation but inasal chicken is usually marinated with vinegar, calamansi, lemongrass, garlic, and ginger...and annatto for that red hued skin. The whole chicken legs were juicy and lightly seasoned so the soy-vinegar-chili dipping sauce came in handy. * Silver Lechon Kawali: Deep Fried Pork Belly ($14.99): https://tinyurl.com/47dfeb9x Fav items of the night! Golden brown and crunchy bursting with juicy porky goodness. It was bit oversalted for me but balanced when dipped into the accompanying sweet mang tomas sauce. * Soup of the Day - Bulalo: Filipino Beef Shank Soup ($19.99): https://tinyurl.com/pkdbcxrw Least fav item - while the bulalo looked ginormous, it was mainly a huge bone with marrow and two small pieces of beef. The beef was still tough, and the bok choy and corn were undercooked. It just needed to be simmered longer to achieve a rich, soulful broth. * Garlic Rice (Free for spending over $35 for two) No Filipino meal is complete without rice and I was happy the garlic rice was part of the min. spending freebie. S E R V I C E Friendly, warm, pinoy hospitality with prompt food service. A M B I A N C E No-frills casual dining area with 7-8 tables. P A R K I N G Street parking can be challenging during peak hours. Overall, if you're looking for tasty Filipino eats with warm hospitality in the city, give this new local small business a try!

Wanted to try this new Filipino place we saw on Instagram. Really cute inside and the workers are nice. Food was a little pricey for this area, and the food was not mind blowing, but it was authentic. We got sisig, pinakbet, and inasal - the inasal was our favorite. We would come back again if we were in the neighborhood.

Everything was delicious and the service was impeccable, the atmosphere very comfortable and familiar. I'll definitely be back again :)

Server was friendly and the garlic rice was delicious but I will.lokely never return. I ordered a chicken dish and maybe 5-10 minutes after I ordered the server told me my dish would take 49 minutes to cook and recommended I get the wings instead. There were only 3 small chicken wings in my dish and it still took forever. We were there for over an hour. I should've stuck with my original order. Food was ok, service was painfully slow despite being empty and music was so loud I could barely hear my friend talking.

Great food, and even great service. Filipino food that everybody would love. Perfect spot for dine-in as well, very cozy, and really makes you feel at home.

Best Filipino food I've had outside of the Philippines. Sísig was absolutely amazing. The owners are very welcoming snd friendly. Jay (one of the owners) is great. Service is phenomenal and the food is made fresh upon every single order, the chef does not cook in large batches like many other Filipino spots. The vibe inside is modern yet authentic. This is easily my favorite restaurant on Mission street. They just opened 2 months ago. Everybody should go and support. The food speaks for itself.

I've ordered food from a gathering, and it was above and beyond, I loved the unique flavor from the Fili- Taste cuisine. They have a great customer service, that helps you with the food's menu based on your taste. The ambience is so welcome and the cleanliness is a high standard of the place.

It really suits the restaurant's name! The food was great! The guys at the store who assisted me yesterday was so friendly, specially the guy who's at the front desk, he always check on his customers. You'll also love the ambiance and the music, I swear! Highly recommended! Perfect star to you guys!!!

We are so happy to have come upon this new place! I read some of the reviews and told my husband that we had to go TODAY. We ordered the bangus sisig, Fili chicken (Inasal style), lumpia shanghai, and garlic rice. The winner, by a landslide, was the bangus sisig. It was perfectly seasoned, with the flavor of the fish not getting overwhelmed. It was moist, a bit smoky, and abundant. Also, the homemade spicy vinegar was well worth using on this dish--not overly spicy, and it truly enhanced the flavor of the fish. The lumpia was nicely garlicky, and fried to order. The vinegar and garlicky flavors of the Fili chicken were great. My only criticism of the chicken was that it was a bit dry, but that was totally rectified with the assistance of the garlic rice and the vinegar/garlic sauce. All in all, this place was totally satisfying. Service was lovely, with everything made to order. We will most certainly be back. Soon.

The food was great and the service staff was attentively welcoming I Would definitely recommend this place who loves Filipino food

Love love love!!! This place is it!! They have the best Filipino food in SF! and more than that, the best waitstaff. Everyone is so helpful.

Food was amazing! The tenderness of their skewers and taste of sizzling plate were both on point!! My wife and I ordered their sizzling sisig and lechon kawali along with their skewers!! Server and cook were also very friendly and approachable!! KUDOS TO THE STAFF!!! Definitely a recommended place to eat at when youre in the Bay Area!! Check em out!!!
