Irma's Pampanga

We had never been to a Filipino restaurant before and this turned out to be the best choice for lunch. We tried as many different items as we could and everything was so good. The service was excellent too!

Solid Filipino lunch counter (spotlessly clean) in the Mission, open mornings and afternoons for those seeking a hearty islander breakfast or an early start on lunch. Stews, stir-fries and rice/pancit ready for the taking for box lunch. Tiny hand-wrapped-on-premises lumpia Shanghai, tightly packed with porky goodness, crispy fried to joy. Going for 10 for $4, a steal. A neighborhood mainstay, well-worth and delicious.

Can't go wrong with the price you pay for a great traditional Filipino cuisine. A staple of the mission area

Excellent Filipino food in SF. I feel the Filipino vibes from the people in the restaurant. Very warm and welcoming. They will not let you feel confused in ordering. I choose pork sisig, rice , and pampano. The turon is sooooo good. The serving of food is big. The price is affordable. I will come back again here to try other dish. :)) I am happy this place is close to UCSF in Mission bay.

Do not call and order from this place. They will never have your order ready even though you place your order with ample time. Happened to me twice. The only thing that kept me coming back was to order the lumpia shanghai for catering and even then it made my stomach tight and constipated. All their food is too greasy for human consumption. Find better quality Filipino food and service elsewhere!!

Place looks really nicely updated. It has been remodeled and their food’s authentic Filipino cuisine. Had their vegetable tofu, pancit (Filipino noodles), garlic rice (steamed rice with roasted garlic), veggie roll and lumpia (skinny pork rolls). Also their cantaloupe drink was really good and had lots of fruit.

This is “Grandma Food”. It’s homey and unpretentious, and clearly prepared with care. Stopped by for the first time ever and was thrilled to find bitter melon - yum! The price was fair and we chose three items with our rice. DELICIOUS. We will be back many many times!

Irma’s has been my go to place to hit d spot whenever I’m homesick in the city. She’s so friendly & treats u like family. They have a wide variety of dishes & is never stingy with her ingredients & portions when serving. Trust that d food is always fresh, delicious & most importantly very affordable. Happy eating!

Made a catering order to feed 70 of my employees. Food was good. I felt like they could've filled up the pan more with the garlic rice and an additional sauce was needed for the 200 pieces is lampia that I ordered. Good food and price just wish they would be more giving and less frugal

I rarely write reviews, but this needed to be said. The food was good. But the customer service was trash. I walked in with my smile as I always do. It was met with a very no so welcoming face. The lady behind the counter was scowling at me as if i robbed her the day before. She wasn't very friendly at all. Food: the food was good. Even though the hostess was rude, the chef is doin her thing in that kitchen. Then i ordered today and they sent the wrong darn order. Ugh!

20 years ago they took pride in their food, I went today and ordered chicken and pork adobo. Didn't taste anything like it used to be, it's like they have given up on cooking great food. When Irma took pride in it, the ladies tried giving me mostly bone in the chicken adobo and the pork was over cooked and sloppy. That's not filipino food..

Good, fair price. Love eating here because it reminds me of home. Lots of different food offerings - so much to try

Ordered ahead for an office potluck -- Irma's delivered. The lumpia was crispy and packed with flavor, the garlic rice was perfect, and the vegetable egg rolls were fresh and well-seasoned. Everything tasted homemade. Portions were solid and the price was more than fair. Definitely using them again for future events.

There aren't a ton of good Filipino food in San Francisco, in my view, so i'm glad there's Irma's. Servings are a good portion and it's really delicious and tastes authentic.

Great assortment of Filipino dishes that range from main items (such as fried whole fishes, meat skewers, quarter pieces of chicken, salmon, pork chops, etc.) to side dishes, beverages and deserts. It's a great place to try dishes you heard of and definitely a good introduction to Filipino cuisine. Portions are ample. You can do combos that come with two huge ice cream scoops of steamed white rice. Their foot long fried bananas are delicious.

Stumbled upon this filipino restaurant while in the Mission with my friends. I got a 1 item combo. I'm not too sure what the entree item I got was called, but it was coconutty and delicious! My friends got silogs and sisig which were very good as well. There was a decent amount of seating inside, and lots of entree dishes to choose from. The only thing that wasn't great about my experience here was they had mentioned my dish was jackfruit.. so to clarify, I asked "there's no meat in there? its jackfruit?" which they replied looked at each other, paused and said "no... there's meat too". Unfortunately, there was no meat in the dish (meaning pork or something of that sort) which I was extremely disappointed with. The sauce and flavoring was overall great but I thought it was meat and it was not. Didn't want that to ruin my review or rating, as the dish was still good and everyone else's food was good too!

4.5 for sure. The food is VERY flavorful and authentic. I ordered the bbq chicken skewer, pork adobo, and sweet pork over rice. Whatever you do, get extra sauce over your rice, It's bomb!! Every bite was on point. I've only eaten half, but am close to a food coma haha. Plenty good portions. On a side note, I would love if the calamansi juice they offer wasn't as cut with as much ice/water as it was. More potent would have been perfect.

If I can rate this place zero I would!!! I rarely write reviews, but this experience was unacceptable. I placed an order through Uber Eats AND called the restaurant twice to confirm a specific item. A woman took my calls both times and assured me the order would be correct. Spoiler: it wasn't. Instead of the item I clearly requested, they substituted a cheaper meat without any notice or explanation. When I called to clarify, the owner not only denied that anyone spoke to me (even though a woman answered twice!) -- he also yelled at me and blamed me for their mistake. Completely unprofessional and disrespectful. If you value accuracy, honesty, or basic customer service, skip this place. I gave every opportunity for this to go smoothly, and they still dropped the ball -- then yelled at me for it. Unbelievable. This place sucks!!!

My old neighborhood I grew up in has a little thing of everything and this includes a good Filipino food spot to get some delicious adobo chicken and pork. The flavor was tasty and the sauce complimented the rice. The price is a bargain when in comes to San Francisco pricing. I will be going to this place again when I get back to the hood. A must try if you are in the area.

The food is good. The service is friendly.,The place is clean because of the mother who cleans constantly. The portions were generous . I love that they use regular dishes. The owner is still so nice and beautiful. The place has been famous for as long as I can remember.

We got this food via delivery. It's ok Filipino food. Their Tosilog is okay but for the order we got, the garlic rice didn't taste like there were any garlic in it. I usually love a delicious Filipino egg breakfasts but this one I tried is not very satisfying. The BBQ chicken and pork sticks are big but tasted just okay.

I ordered Irmas on Doordash. Ordering was simple, and they have a catering option for a small selection of 100-piece lumpia and small or large party platter size pancit. We ordered for pickup to be dropped off around 10-10:20am. I was a bit nervous as my door dasher went to pick up around 9:50 and they were cooking my order still, but it came just in time! The food was delicious! The size small pancit platter fed around 25-30 people and we still had at least one serving full leftover. Both pancit and lumpia came steaming hot and ready to eat and was delicious! Lumpia was crispy. Came with dipping sauce enough for 100. There isn't a lot of catering options for Filipino food on doordash, and I am grateful to have Irma's Pampanga Restaurant as an option!

Authentic Filipino food. Great price and you get A LOT! Highly recommend. Great service as well!

The people are very nice. But dirty food there equals tummy trouble, more than a few times, I had to stop going there.

Ok so this spot looks basic and is easy to walk past, but tbh, the places with the best food usually aren't flashy. This place is one of those. It has a diner like set up and those classic Filipino dishes taste like they're homemade. The pork Tocino with garlic rice and eggs is my Filipino go to dish and this did not disappoint. The meat was sweet and savory, packed with flavor and the rice had crispy garlic fried into it and was dripping with the Tocino meat juice. I loved it, and it was a very reasonable price, after tax and tip like 11 bucks!

Love that this spot utilizes door dash and I was able to schedule a next day drop off for a taste of home and to be able to share with my coworkers and friends. Lumpia is always a hit at a potluck and there is so much more to enjoy. If nanay or tatay aren't able to cook for you, please go to the mission and you will thank me!! Great price for so many. Not able to take pics bc they were gone so fast. Salamat po! Will be ordering more food soon.

7/27/2024, It's been a year since I ordered from Irma's. Nothing has changed. Irma's food remains top of the world.

My former coworkers used to order catering from here for our potlucks and lunches. The store is at a not so good location. The store gives an old run down vibe. However, the staff working there is efficient and straight to the point. They take card but prefer cash. Lumpia is always a crowd pleasure. $17.50 for 50 pieces. Win!

The lumpia here is so good and I love their breakfast silogs. Don't forget to ask for the sawsawan Probably my most ordered place on DoorDash. Ang sarap! Kain na!

DOORDASH REVIEW! As part of my company's all hands week, my direct team met up at the office and ate breakfast together. I had the privilege of selecting the food we would all chow down on for our breakfast meetup. That morning, I was craving some Filipino food and was wondering if there was a place that served Filipino breakfast. ENTER Irma's Pampanga. There were some great menu items and the portions on Doordash looked excellent so I decided to order. Little did I know I was in for greatness. Disclaimer: Honestly all the items below were absolutely fantastic. I'm rating them based solely on the meat item with each dish as the sides were the same for all 3 (rice, tomatoes, eggs). I would recommend all of them. Longsilog - 4/5 the sausages that came with the Longsilog were cooked so well and the little sweet/salty combo of the sausages were a refreshing balance to the garlic rice. The only complaint that I have is the portion size of the sausages are a bit small in comparison to the other combo dishes. Tosilog - 5/5 oh my goodness. The cured pork is incredible in this dish. The portion size is perfect and the texture on the meat is to die for. The softness of the cured pork combined with the crisp on the outside is a combination that you can't stop eating. Adobosilog - 4.5/5 the adobo chicken was moist since it was still on the bone and the sauce was delicious. The adobo style sauce hit the spot, it was earthy, seasoned well, and the skin that's on the chicken paired well with the dish. Garlic rice, tomatoes, and eggs: SO GOOD. The garlic rice honestly is such a great match for the rest of the ingredients in the dish. The eggs were cooked so well, runny by default. The tomatoes were a great addition and added some acidity to balance the sweetness of the rest of the dish. I would 100% recommend getting food from Irma's.

The lumpia shanghai party trays are great! Always fresh and they give a big container of sweet chili sauce too. No need to order far in advance, just give them a call at least 20 minutes before you want to pick up and they'll be ready. Price is super reasonable ($40 for 100 pcs). Always a crowd pleaser!

Irma's is a solid spot for classic Filipino dishes. They have a wide selection of dishes for you to try - Lumpia, Chicken Adobo, Kare Kare, etc. It seems they also change up their menu every now and then. I tried their Chicken Adobo and Lumpia with Garlic Rice and loved how fresh and savory everything was. The adobo had a hint of sweetness, which was unique. Some cuts were mostly bone and not enough meat, however. Service is reminiscent of classic Filipino food joints - quick and straight to the point.

Tinola is A+ out here, and I loved their rice with the hint of garlic. They participate in stopping food waste via Too Good to Go! Support Local

Food is great, service is on point. I'll be coming back. I will definitely recommend this to my family and friends.

I can't just give this place anything lower than a 4 star, despite, the bad that people may say in other reviews. 1. They have, according to my filipino friends, some of the best lumpia in the City. and at 3 -4 pieces for $1.00. That is AMAZING. Just imagine, if this place closed, and you were forced to buy the same quality, or lower, at let's say a filipino hipster food truck, and pay $9.00, how devastated you would be. Hence, the 5 stars on the lumpia. The lumpia, is very meaty and has got that really good crunch. The 10+ times, the lumpia has always always been consistent. 2. I think they make a damn good turon. I haven't had much elsewhere. But do you ever get a pastry for 7 dollars, and think to yourself, I could have just been as happy getting a Turon for $1.00. Their Turon has that crunchy sugar lair that has been carmelized so well. The inside of jackfruit and banana has always been perfect ripeness. And the skin maintains its crispiness. You do have to judge for yourself, if the Turon has been sitting out for more than one day, because that is where the consistency issue lies, and that is where people may have an issue with their food. 3. Now, as for their other dishes. I am a big fan of their pen- a behr (don't know how to spell it). It is their bittermelon stew. There is no better way to cook bittermelon than the filipino way. The shrimp paste they use, and the combination of meat they use makes this stew very delicious. I don't enjoy their adobo, and some of their other dishes. Some of their dishes just get too heavy with the oil and I wish, the sauce was thickened and flavored in better ways that isn't excessive oil or salt. This is coming from a guy who loves both. Their dinigawang is okay. Luckily, I've had a homemade version before. Theirs is a bit vinegary. and their polobok, I wasn't a huge fan of either. The entirety of it tasted like chicharron or pork rinds. My friend once brought over polobok that was so divine, that eating Irma's made me a little sad. It wasn't bad by any means, but definitely, I've had better filipino food elsewhere. and I guess that is where is 3 stars would come in. All in all, you have to know what you like and want from Irmas. They make a lot of different foods and it rotates, and in my case they can make a lot of food not to my liking. but you really cant complain when they make really bomb lumpia for the cheapest you may ever see in your life.

Ordered an hour in advanced but when I came it wasn't ready. Elderly lady took the order and her coworker said she does forget sometimes but no biggie because this is always a party hit! Sometime we have to give grace to people. Will come back for sure

Hands down, my favorite Filipino joint in SF. No frills, cafeteria-style home cooking. Everything they make is good and I can't say that about a lot of places. The dinuguan (chocolate meat) and the adobo ng pusit (squid adobo) are really good. And they don't price gouge like a lot of restaurants in the Bay Area! Rough neighborhood but very much worth the trip.

I was completely impressed by the food, cooked exactly like an authentic Kapampangan Filipino/Filipina would prepare. Full of flavor, personality, and even the rice was perfect. The ambience is a bit dark inside, and the service can be wordless/almost non existent dialogue. But ambiance and little chatter be darned: the food is so good, this place deserves 5 solid stars. The food is really, that good. Really, really, really good. Don't let the shady neighborhood deter you (but be sure you're rolling up your windows and locking your car if you drive here). Recommend checking the "TooGoodToGo" app for possible discount grab bag orders. The food here is a bit on the pricey side, but you may save money using that app.

Burnt lumpias. Questionable food storage. Last week I ordered several hundred lumpias and four orders of pancit for two different occasions. For the first event, the lumpias were okay but for the second, the lumpias were mostly burnt. It was embarrassing to serve them at a public event. There were burnt pieces of pork, burnt pieces of lumpia wrappers, even burnt pieces of empty lumpia shells. The worst part was seeing the server get the pre-ordered cooked lumpias, without any protective cover, from the floor underneath the steam counter which looked very unsanitary. The workers here seem very unhappy and act very irritated whenever I call in or order in person.

Simple, barebones place, but delicious homemade food! Many entrees and sides to choose from - you gotta give it a try!

so happy to have access to good filipino food in the mission!! feels like i am back home when i come here, the service is always good and the food is delicious-- i always order the same thing, calamansi juice and the bbq combo plate with pancit. this place is authentic and home-y and i am such a fan!

I've only ate here twice & the food is sooo good! It's also a great price for the amount of food you get. I've gotten the same combo which is rice, chicken bbq stick & lumpia (10 pcs) & it's so filling.

Super friendly service and great prices. Not the tightest grasp on English, but so what? They're only too glad to answer any questions and feed you!

Food selection was good, serving size was generous, tasted wonderful and reasonably priced. Staff was friendly

Ordered 100 pcs of the Shanghai lumpia for my friend's birthday. Everyone loved it!!! I recommend to anyone who loves Filipino try it.

Cafeteria style, bare bones cafe, with linoleum flooring and thin white curtains... Come get some: Juicy grilled chicken or pork skewers, drizzled with a ruby red, sticky, sweet sauce. Crispy fried lumpia stuffed with bits of pork, and a side of mae ploy dipping sauce. Pancit noodles with tender slices of onions, carrots and shredded chicken. Other stuff I haven't tried yet that looks yummy.

I went here because I was craving lumpia. They don't put that much meat in the lumpia, so they are ok. The banana fried roll was inedible, so I threw what I bought away. The next place I tried to buy lumpia was Chibog in Daly City. Their lumpia tastes great, but are more expensive. Next place I will try is Ongpin in South San Francisco.

Delicious food. Portions are generous. Very cozy setting, it smells good in and out of the restaurant. Staff was very kind and there's little to no wait time. We've stopped by for lunch & have done catering, they Irma's does not disappoint.

Great Bbq chicken and garlic rice, must try whenever in the Mission. Another thing is the portion sizes are nice for the price

Best vegetable lumpia and turon. Quaint spot on the corner of van ness and 16th. It was a quick phone preorder so the pick up was quick. And the price was definitely right!

Delicious hole in the wall Filipino food! BBQ PorkFried LumpiaFilipino Breakfast . Come during morning to lunch for newly cook dishes.

I got a "Too Good to Go" surprise meal pickup meal that was definitely not what the "Too Good to Go" website led me to believe it was worth. It was mostly rice with 3 small pieces of meat and one big piece of pure fat, and four small lumpias with no sauce for them. When I got to the restaurant, no one seamed to know they had signed up up for "Too Good to Go" and I had to wait a long time until someone finally scraped up a little bit of food for me. Definitely not worth it.

This spot is a gem! I just did a staycation with some of my girls and this spot was around the corner and OMG!!! It makes me sad I don't live near it. I'd eat here every day. The titas are putting their love and care into making the food, running the place and keeping up with the door dash orders. The quality of the food reminds me of home. The platters, the options and the "you're at auntie's" house. I got the longanisa plate and Bilo Bilo to go, my friend got the chicken adobo/ longanisa / pancit plate and we both bought lumpia and turon all made fresh. Ugh, I craving it all right now as I write this review. Anyways, I definitely recommend. Go support the Filipino titas!

The best Filipino food in San Francisco, homemade & authentic! Everything from Lumpia (fried eggrolls) to chicken curry is very delicious!

So delicious! Im trying to get them on grubwithmike! 2 item combo has you full all day decent portion size!

just opened in early October I was hoping for more new, healthy foods YOu might not cater to me, but I've been asking for 10 years, any vegan food. All the fried foods and meats , sorry I can not eat. pls have more food, like squash, noodles that are not fried and with no meat thanks , and I'll change the rating.

Lots of choices among the prepared dishes. I tried the special combo with chicken BBQ, pancit and lumpiang shanghai. The flavors were good but the lumpia was soggy by the time I ate them, perhaps because the sauce of the BBQ got mixed with them. Next time, I will try their other dishes. Service was straightforward and direct. Place closes at 7pm (though Yelp says 730pm?).
