We were very excited to hear about a new Filipino restaurant in the area. Growing up in a military family and from the Philippines, it's nice to get traditional Filipino food when you're not up to cooking.
We happened to be in the area and decided to give it a try. This was our first experience at Filipino Fusion. It has the feel of a street shop, with a few tables and the bar set up. It's clean and welcoming though and the gentleman at the counter was very friendly and answered any questions we had. I was hoping for a bigger selection of Filipino food, but was told that they are still creating the full menu and deciding what will be made available.
One of the biggest things I was excited about was the Lumpia. Growing up, we always had Lumpia ready to go whenever we wanted, but now don't always have time to make it.
We ordered, Lumpia, Pancit and Adobo. The price is reasonable, since I know the amount of time and effort it takes to make all the above.
The lumpia was crispy and well wrapped. Some of them were light on the filling, but still tasty, but most of them had a good portion of filling, as you can see in my attached picture. The order included dipping sauce which was nice. I prefer to use spicy banana ketchup, which is available, but I have some at home so didn't request any.
The Pancit had good flavors. The portion was definitely a good size and easily feeds 2-3 people. Well cooked and the noodles weren't completely shredded, which tends to happen with these noodles when over-handled. We do wish there were more vegetables in the Pancit like I'm used to. Ours seemed to have mostly carrots and chicken. There are more veggies in the dish, but just not as pronounced. We're just used to have other greens and chunkier chicken pieces. But again, overall the Pancit had good flavors.
The Chicken Adobo was also a decent portion. It was in a quart size container, we had our food to-go, with rice at the bottom and chicken on top. The flavor was good, but the chicken was a little dried out. I added some Kimchi when I got home and it tasted great together. I'm sure I'll order this again, as it was flavored well and chicken can be hard to get right all the time.
Overall we like the food and will definitely be back again. We're looking forward to seeing what other dishes they add to the menu.
