Pamilya

I was walking by at 2pm today (April 8, 2025) when I saw a new, soft, opening for Pamilya for modern Filipino comfort food. This is located in a small strip mall at 756 Woodside Rd, Redwood City, CA. I walked in to find a nice, clean, casual restaurant with very friendly and helpful staff. I asked what to get and they recommended the lunch entree combo. I chose the BBQ chicken with a base of half garlic rice and half pancit canton/bihon (noodles). Then I added mixed veggies, pickled papaya, pickled cucumbers and three pork/shrimp lumpias. (They have many other protein entrees, sides, toppings, and desserts!). I ate the lumpias with the sweet and sour sauce first and liked that they weren’t greasy at all. The BBQ Manilla chicken was served on sticks (like a kabob) and was fantastic! They sauce we just perfect, they had a nice sear on the outside yet still moist on the inside. Both base choices of the garlic rice and the pancit could have been warmer but I did come at the end of lunchtime so that might have been the issue but they tasted nice and were perfectly cooked. The pickled papaya and the pickled cucumbers were sooooo good and served cold. While my lunch cost me about $21.00, it was at least two meals worth and I brought the extra home. I look forward to going back there!

Bangus sisig was my favorite!! I had it with garlic rice and eggs + the garlic chili oil and it was such a great combo. The chocolate cake is to die for. So moist and addicting. I also had the halo halo, I was never a fan of halo halo but this one is different cause it has no beans and I finished it to the last drop!

Very nice space and good Filipino food. Glad to see another well executed Filipino joint in the peninsula!!!! Will definitely keep coming back to try other dishes! The Bicol Express was perfectly tasty!

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The plates were a good portion for the price. Also the food tasted delicious and had a nice selection of dishes.

I didn’t have to pre order the pancit bihon tray, I just waited 15mins for them to cook it fresh! The flavor of the pork sisig makes the taste stand out and the mochi bibingka cake (small size) is so moist! There’s ample parking and I went around Merienda time not crowded at all.

Enjoyed my first visit & will be back! Tasty, fresh, generously-portioned, and a good balance of traditional flavors (from the perspective of being a Filipino-American myself) & contemporary sensibility. We tried 2 entree-side combos. It works kind of like Panda Express: you've got the bowl, 1-entree, or 2-entree plates - except you also get vegetables & pickles with everything, and additional sides come with the entree plates. Honestly, the 1-entree plate is sufficient for at least 2 meals for me - the portion was extremely generous. Particularly tasty & fresh lumpia (pork & shrimp) - hot & crispy! I recommend trying it with a side of fish sauce (really good)! The pancit canton was surprisingly tasty - I enjoyed Pamilya's more than traditional pancit canton I'm used to eating. I also appreciated that as compared to a lot of traditional counter-based Filipino eateries, the food here is not over cooked - it's cooked just right - and the food isn't greasy either, which I'm used to with traditional Filipino food. So it was a nice new take on the cuisine. Looking forward to trying their all-day breakfast next time as well as other dishes!

It's finally open! The food is so good 🤤 love the flavors and the pickles, the folks here are so friendly and excited about the food they're serving. They also sell their own delicious homemade chili garlic sauce!

Been waiting for this place to open and they did not disappoint!! We split the 2-combo entree with 2 sides, sharing: chicken adobo, pancit, pork longsilog, lumpia, empanada, garlic rice. Wonderful neighborhood addition, perfect for weekday lunch or dinner takeout. Thank you Jhed and Therese for the hospitality!

Sincerely the best Filipino restaurant here in the Bay Area! Omg I try the chicken adobo with white rice and for topping the egg and the Mac salad really good I recommended. The staff the customer service what a pretty good place I love it! Stop reading this and go to Pamilya RIGHT NOW!!!!!

Friendly staff that was very patient with me because it took me forever to decide what to get. I ended up going with the 2 entree+app to get the most bang for my buck. I did half and half garlic rice and pancit canton, then Bicol express and beefsteak for my entrees. I liked how they added toppings (like the red pickles I think) and then pork shrimp lumpia for my app. The entrees were delicious! Tasty and meat was tender for both. The pancit canton was delicious. The lumpia could use improvements, the filling was a bit odd. I suspect it was already bought somewhere premade. For $28 for everything it was a good amount of food. I liked the generous amount they give for the entrees considering it cost me almost $30 for lunch. I will say the prices aren't that competitive with cheaper lunch options for workers who may be trying to save some money if they don't have lunch to eat. But I intend on spreading my left overs across another 2 meals lol. Ambiance was very clean and plenty of seating inside. Park behind! Don't bother parking at the front

Beef Steak Tagalog 4 beef slices, tender, slightly chewy, off-white sour sauce Beef Kalderetta 5 stew, chewy juicy beef chunks, medium tender, soft melty carrot chunks, brown soy sauce base sauce, flavorful Crispy Pork Sisig 4 small dices of pork and veggie mix, no sauce, flavorful Bicol Express 3 stew, pork chunks, slightly dry / tough, creamy off-white sauce, flavorful, slightly spicy Kuya's Pork BBQ 4 skewer, large chunks, super chewy, slightly dry, slightly sweet, flavorful Longanisa Sausage 5 thumb-size, 3pc, super flavorful, slightly spicy

The food was very tasty and very much comfort food. I did two plates, each with a side. The first plate was the garlic rice and one type of the pancit noodles with the chicken skewers. The server said that it was the best selling item. And it was indeed very tasty especially with the sauce which gives it that sweet and savory taste. The plate also comes with veggies and for the side I did the chicken empanadas(which were also good). The second plate I did another half and half base with the garlic rice and the bihon pancit noodles, Bicol express (spicy pork stew) and for the side I did the pork and shrimp lumpia. Highly recommend the Bicol express with garlic rice. The service was pretty good. The line staff were very patient with a lot of the people in line who were new customers. They were all smiles and laughing. The ambiance is also nice, there are some dine in tables on the left going all the way to the back of the restaurant and the kitchen is on the right. It's a semi open kitchen so you can see them cooking most of the food. Sauces, water and cutlery are self service. There is parking in the front and back of the restaurant. If you plan on driving, I recommend to actually enter through the plaza before and the lot connects on both sides. You can enter the restaurant from both sides

I love this place!! My coworkers and I showed up here for lunch on a Friday and bombarded them with 20+ orders. Pamilya is build your own bowl- like chipotle with Filipino food. I got the half noodles half garlic rice as a base with chicken adobo as my main with a side of lumpia. Everything was so so good, the chicken adobo was heavenly with the noodles. Will definitely try the other noodles next time I'm there. All of my coworkers loved the food as well. So happy to welcome Pamilya to the neighborhood!

This place doesn't have the biggest menu option but they sure have great Filipino food and good service. Ordered for takeout and my food was ready upon pick up. I ordered the Longinisa Silog. As simple as it was, it was cooked well, very decilious, and satisfying in terms of making me full. I even enjoyed the brown rice that was cooked to perfection. Salamat, Pamilya!

Popped in to try the halo halo because there aren't many spots I've found in the Peninsula and I'm telling you: go.there.now. Halo halo had fruit, custard, hearty scoop of ube ice cream, ube paste -- I'm telling you it was a happy universe of textures. The lumpia case was trying to keep up with demand. It was around 1pm on a Saturday so maybe replenishment time was nigh. Inviting vibe with seating accessible, if you or friends have mobility issues. Restrooms have a lock code and this round I didn't have time to see if there are changing tables or grab bars. Service was quick and friendly. Parking can be tricky as the lot and spots on the street were at capacity so I parked some distance away and walked over. Very much looking forward to a return visit to try the dishes (I might swing back around today for more halo halo + food. Don't judge) EDIT: went back to try a dish (and get lore halo halo) and my belly is so happy I did. I love that they aren't shy with the flavors; all are bold without being overwhelming. I couldn't decide between the two pancits so he let me get 1/2 & 1/2 as well as sample the bicol express, which had a manageable heat to it. The garlic rice was tasty without leaving me with dreaded garlic breath. I appreciate the bicol express was in a separate container so that the whole bowl didn't become mushy. My new favorite spot!

Stumbled upon a new Filipino spot, and it felt like discovering a hidden song playing just for the next generation. The vibe is fresh, the staff young and sharp, and the food? Thoughtfully curated, like pages from a well-loved recipe book passed down and reimagined. From sizzling sisig and sweet plantains to bold Bicol express, creamy ube salads, and tangy mango calamansi--every bite feels intentional. The bibingka? Comfort in cake form. And yes, the garlic rice delivers exactly what it should. Their menu doesn't just follow tradition--it dances with it. Try it. You just might fall in love.

we got the 1 entree sotanghon/fried rice, bangus sisig and lumpiang shanghai and 1 entree pancit/fried rice, boneless adobo with chicken empanada. they both came with appetizer also got plantain extra $1. They were tasty not too salty. Friday lunch parking was a little hard. Is located in the same plaza as Popeye's

Not what I expected. Very similar to Goldilocks at Seafood City. Food is pre-cooked in mass and sits out in metal containers and they scoop out per order. Food is served in to go containers, even if eating in the restaurant. The pork stick was too fatty / rubbery and I could tell it had been sitting around seems like it was made with pork belly and the fat wasn't properly rendered. The pork stick at Goldilocks is way better. Same with the lumpia. It's pre-made and sits in a heated display case. And one of my lumpia had a big piece of cartilage which wasn't a pleasant bite. The restaurant itself is optically pleasing and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Yay a good Filipino place! I've been here a couple times with my boyfriend and his family since they live in the peninsula and every time it's been good. They give you enough food for two meals in one which is pretty sweet and service has always been great. It's clean and modern inside and it's run Chipotle/Panda Express style where you choose a base and then entrees and sides etc. Y'all really gotta try the tuxedo cake (and the mango calamansi juice)!

There is a new Filipino restaurant in Redwood City! There is a parking lot in the back as well and I usually don't have problems finding parking here. This place felt kind of like a Filipino Chipotle. You pick your carb, your main entree, and add some veggies, and add a side (for extra). You can also do half and half noodles and rice so I did that. I tried the Bicol Express because I like coconut milk curry dishes and I was pleased with how rich and creamy this dish was. It said it had shrimp paste which I can tolerate in small quantities and I didn't really taste it too much. The protein here was pork, which was not bad. The noodles were good and reminded me of thin lo mein. I thought the fried rice could have used some more salt. The pickled vegetables weren't bad either. I also paid a little extra for veggie lumpia and it was fine, fried well, nothing too crazy. It went well with the sauce. Overall I was pleased with the meal although Filipino food tends to be fried and/or on the oilier side. My stomach was a little upset afterwards but I'd eat this food again! I did think it was quite yummy.

I really hope this place does well because Woodside rd needs something like this. The employees are friendly and the food was pretty good. The quality is pretty good and I would come back for lunch here. Parking isn't the greatest so that would be the only bad thing I would say about this

Food was great! First time having Filipino food and it was great food for dinner and tomorrow's lunch (I still have a lot left). The service is so wonderful and very attentive to what they're serving you. I had ordered garlic rice at first, however they tasted the batch and felt it wasn't good serving and asked if I was okay with the change to white rice. The place was nice and cool feels great to sit and eat with friends. I'm also grateful for the Halo Halo they gave me on the house for the garlic rice inconvenience. Extraordinary people and food would come again with friends. Please come support them and try their food.

I need to downgrade my first review. First of all - the positive : the prices are actually very reasonable - don't believe the other reports of expensive food - Filipinos are extremely cheap and are only focused on price not value . The place is extremely clean. Now here's the real issue : kitchen uses too much oil and cooking style is extremely heavy . The taste is cafeteria level so do not expect the flavor and content like higher end Pinoy places. Bicol express and beef steak are very very tasty but it's been 4 hours and I'm still bloated. Chef needs to adjust cooking method .

The pancit here is my favorite. Generally, the bowls have a significant amount of good food and a nice variety. Would order from here again.

Had such high hopes for this place. A friend and I made a special trek to find it. The menu needs a lot of explanation if you are unfamiliar with this food. I know some basics but not all the dishes in the warming trays. Counter folks were fairly nice in that they wanted to help but offered no insight into preparation or what a basic order might be. Got the big plate to share. It was ok. Tried the halo halo. That was expensive but again. Shared. Better than the meal. Vegetables were flavorless mush. Chicken and pork skewers were super tough and sort of dry. Got a tiny taste of the GARLIC rice. So garlicky it was unpalatable. The lumpia - was sooo looking forward to those - they were cold and greasy. Would order much differently if going back but don't expect to return. Too complicated and not enough info. Oh. And they ran out of forks. Um.... They ended up getting some but still. How do you run out of eating utensils?? Containers were mostly compostable. That was nice. The place was clean.

I was excited to try this newly opened Filipino restaurant in Redwood City. Saw it under renovation and noticed the sign last year. When I found out they finally opened I was ecstatic to try. The place is conveniently located in the stretch of Woodaide rd. With plenty of parking in the front and more at the back of the restaurant. The place is clean and nicely decorated. It has a style of a fast food way of ordering where the food is deliciously displayed and you pick and choose your items. I was excited to taste their cooking and I elected to order a half and half of garlic rice with sotanghon pancit, with bangus Sisig/egg and Bicol express, I also got a side of their vegetable Lumpias and achara. I also got the mango calamansi sago for my drink. The staff that helped me, her name was "tiny" was very sweet, kind and helpful. I ate there and found myself a nice table to dine in. I can say I enjoyed thier food as it was made and cooked fresh and tasted spot on delicious! I will definitely come back and try them again. I highly recommend.

Pamilya is an absolute treasure. This new spot is super clean, the staff is incredibly welcoming, and the lumpia are always freshly made and delicious. You can tell they put love into every dish. I highly recommend checking it out. Definitely a hidden gem in the area.

I am so excited to have Pamilya in my neighborhood. FINALLY! A Filipino restaurant in Redwood City. And they will not disappoint you! The reviews prior to mine were all about tasty food and friendly employees. So true. I love the decor and the ambiance of the restaurant. I had the bangus sisig with 1/2 garlic rice & pancit canton bihon, pickled cucumbers and they let me choose 1 vege lumpia and 1 pork lumpia (instead of 2 of the same). Oh my! It hit the spot. I also tried the mango calamansi boba drink, it was not too sweet or sour, just right. I bought to go meals for my husband and daughter. He loved the bbq pork and El Nido shrimp (cooked at time of order, so you need to wait 5 minutes...) and that was yummy. For the pork sisig, I recommend asking them to put the garlic aioli on the side so it doesn't overpower the meat. I am going to keep coming back to try the rest of the menu. I love supporting family businesses and this restaurant is owned by a Filipino family. The husband, wife and mom of the husband were part of the amazing team behind the counter. There may have been more family but I didn't get to say hello yet to them. I highly recommend you try this restaurant! Their first Sunday to open will be Mother's Day.

I stopped by the soft opening. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. It's a very modern set up inside which looks really nice. Lastly the food was really good. Give them a try. I'm sure you won't be disappointed!

Such a cute restaurant! Service was great, they were so helpful explaining all the dishes, and even gave a taste of some of food before ordering. The food was really yummy. I had every intention of getting the chicken adobo, but the pork in coconut sauce looked pretty appealing. One taste and I was sold! The garlic rice pairs well with it too. For dessert, we tried the Halo halo, and it was soooo good. So much going on in it, every bite had a new little tidbit of deliciousness.

I was walking by at 2pm today (April 8, 2025) when I saw a new, soft, opening for Pamilya for modern Filipino comfort food. This is located in a small strip mall at 756 Woodside Rd, Redwood City, CA. I walked in to find a nice, clean, casual restaurant with very friendly and helpful staff. I asked what to get and they recommended the lunch entree combo.

I look forward to going back there!

Delicious and fresh food!! Friendly staff/family run- felt like I was at home:) I got take out - meals were packed well & in easy to transport containers. Super clean and bright decor! Looking forward to eating in and bringing my family and friends next time:)

We drove a little bit to try some filipino food. It was well worth the drive. The staff greeted us with their great smiles. The food was really good . I ordered one entrée plate . I ordered Chicken, adobo, with side appetizers mixed vegetables , the 1/2 garlic rice , 1/2 pancit. My husband ordered the two entrées, with beef steak and beef kaldereta . He loved it . He also ordered the corn bread , he said it was nice and moist: I would definitely recommend this place.

Yummy food folks. Much healthier and a lot more fun than regular fast food . . . Will be back for sure

Ordered a large order to go and they forgot the sides. We got the 2 entree combo. Adobo was ok - yes, mine is better or different than theirs- but family agreed it was just ok. The steak Tagalog was mediocre. Not much meat. Crispy pork Sisig was different. I've never had it kinda minced with chicharron powder on top. The Manila chicken bbq was tasty. Garlic rice was not flavorful but the vermicelli city was good. I might give it another chance. But Seasfood city is better.

Customer service was excellent! Food was amazing!! Come by and try chicken and pork here, sauces are amazing and goes well with garlic rice!

A great addition to our neighborhood! Run by a husband and wife with a friendly staff, the restaurant is cozy and attractive. The food delicious? Staff will walk you through your choices and what the difference in each Filipino dish is. It's substantial plate for $24 which can fill you up or give you enough for another meal. Check them out!

The jury is still out. We came here for lunch after a Mother's Day hike, curious to try a new local Filipino spot. The place has only been open for a few weeks, and while the staff was enthusiastic, the ordering process felt a bit chaotic--several people behind the counter, but no clear system for taking orders. Based on other reviews mentioning generous portions, we ordered two plates: a breakfast dish and the bangus sisig. However, there were a few surprises. The breakfast plate, which usually includes eggs, had an additional charge of $3.95. The cucumber topping and papaya, which we thought were included with the sisig, also had an extra $1.00 charge. It was a busy day, but there were two open tables that were free; while it looked clean, there were a smear of food on the side which I ended up wiping myself. While the space generally looks clean, little details like that do matter to me. As for the food: the garlic rice didn't really taste like garlic, though there was a lot of it. The bangus sisig was okay--nothing standout, and lacking a bit in flavor. That said, I appreciate being able to get dishes I don't usually make at home, so we ordered dessert to go. Overall, the pricing feels high for a counter-service setup, especially when rice or noodles make up the bulk of the "big portions." I want to support local Filipino businesses, and I'm open to coming back to try other dishes--but likely not soon, and only when I'm craving Filipino food I don't want to cook myself. If the owners want to succeed long-term, I'd suggest they revisit their pricing strategy and streamline the lunch service for a smoother experience.

Great food, service and cleanliness. We got the adobo, Bicol express and the longsilog and all very good with good portions. Will be back

Food was good but not sure what was "modern" about it. It was traditional Filipino food, and SO expensive! I definitely wouldn't go here if I was craving Filipino food. The staff are nice enough and as expected. The place was nice and clean. All in all I would go somewhere else for Filipino food only because if I'm gonna pay for food I don't want my pocket to hurt for it! Try it out if you want but be prepared to pay at least $60 for two people!

Omg. I love flip food but damn. For the cost i would Just go to seafood city. Enough said. The food is like rushed cuisine. Mediocre food. Ample parking high visibility but it Just doesn't do it for me. Up your game. It's like a shiny car that doesn't perform. Do better.

I appreciate the warm welcome!!! We came in wanting Lechón but it's only available weekends. So we asked for recommendations and they were all too happy to help. We ordered the two entree meal that comes with veggies and a side. The portion was huge. Absolutely delicious as well. The sisig was crunchy and the rice garlicky...just delicious. Its a cute spot with seating. It was also quiet clean. Definitely will be back and will try to go on a weekend to try the lechón.

Enjoyed my first visit & will be back! Tasty, fresh, generously-portioned, and a good balance of traditional flavors (from the perspective of being a Filipino-American myself) & contemporary sensibility. We tried 2 entree-side combos. It works kind of like Panda Express: you've got the bowl, 1-entree, or 2-entree plates -- except you also get vegetables & pickles with everything, and additional sides come with the entree plates. Honestly, the 1-entree plate is sufficient for at least 2 meals for me - the portion was extremely generous. Particularly tasty & fresh lumpia (pork & shrimp) - hot & crispy! I recommend trying it with a side of fish sauce (really good)! The pancit canton was surprisingly tasty - I enjoyed Pamilya's more than traditional pancit canton I'm used to eating. I also appreciated that as compared to a lot of traditional counter-based Filipino eateries, the food here is not over cooked - it's cooked just right - and the food isn't greasy either, which I'm used to with traditional Filipino food. So it was a nice new take on the cuisine. Looking forward to trying their all-day breakfast next time as well as other dishes!

Thank you for coming to Redwood City! Finally a Filipino place that is closer to home. Love the modern and fun vibe inside this place. Its clean, bright, and spacious. Coming in last minute to order lumpias and they were so kind and accommodating. Loved the food and so did my coworkers.

I had high hopes and really looked forward to their opening. It was disappointing. The food offerings were limited and what they had in the pans seemed to be there for awhile.. my rice was very COLD along with lukewarm entrees. Not much service, it was cafeteria style. The restaurant ambiance was clean, that part was very good. My filipino friend that I was with said it her Halo Halo was not good at all. Given the co$t and experience, I'm sorry to say I don't think we'll be back.

A modern take on the "Turo-turo" style Filipino restaurant. I like they have plate options which give you the base like rice, noddles or vegetables, you get either 1 or 2 dishes and multiple options for sides like lumpia or empanada. The place is run by an all family employees and they are very friendly. it has a modern decor and very clean. The kitchen is just behind the counter where you can see the cooks make the dishes. The time of my visit was busy and majority of the customers are non Filipino. Honestly it's not the best Filipino food I've tasted but it's very tasty - I have no complaints. Definitely a place to try and it seems the local favorite.

So excited that this place is open! Love having another casual lunch/dining option in the neighborhood. We had the two entree combo with super tender chicken adobo and pork longsilog. Very flavorful. A lot of other options including Filipino BBQ, halo halo, and ube jelly. Jhed and Therese were super friendly and generous with helpings.

We went here today and the ambiance is great, the service is excellent, the people that works here are very nice. The sisig and pancit bihon are the best especially the sisig. For me it's the best sisig I ever had. We also enjoy their dessert the sweet shelby. We will definitely gonna come back here so we can try their other food on the menu.

Good spot for take out and sit down. Really hope this place sticks around. Favs are Chicken Empanadas and Chicken Adobo. I've enjoyed everything I've tried so far and really want to support keeping this spot in the neighborhood.

So excited Pamilya opened a dine in location! Authentic, delicious Filipino food. The portions are really generous, so you're getting a lot of bang for your buck. The service was fast and the people working there were super nice. The ambiance is nice - if you have time, definitely plan to dine in because it's super clean and pretty. Come hungry, and though you won't leave hungry, definitely buy some snacks to go (recommend the banana bread slices you can buy to go!) I got a combo meal and it was super filling and SO GOOD. Loved the honey chicken and noodles. Do NOT skip dessert (cake and banana bread are top notch).

Closest Filipino food in Redwood City! I ordered from them many times when they were on Middlefield. Delicious then, even more so now. Huge servings! Friendly staffs! Definitely would come back! Definitely recommend!

Geezus. All I did was pass by this place and thought, "oh! Was that a Filipino restaurant in RWC?!" After a quick yelp search, the answer was yes. An actual Filipino restaurant NOT in Daly City or SSF. I was so happy. I'm always craving Filipino food, especially lumpia and garlic fried rice so I decided to give this place a shot. Once you walk in, the place was super inviting and clean. The ordering process is no nonsense so be prepared when you get up there. I ordered the two entree plate with garlic rice (I wasn't in a pancit mood) with bangus sisig & beef kaldereta. We also ordered some lumpia a la carte. The food was delicious and very satisfying. We also ordered a white chocolate macadamia ube cookie which was RIDICULOUSLY DELICIOUS. Overall take on this place: DO NOT go here if you're on a diet. It's dangerous. Shout out to the employees of this place. You guys were so so nice and non judgmental when you noticed our empty lumpia box immediately after you served it.

Stop reading this and go eat at Pamilya now!! Sooooo goooooodd!! I've been stalking this place for a year and a half as it was being built as I was ecstatic to see Filipino food in the area. I made it to the soft opening today and let me tell you my high expectations were exceeded. I've been to the Philippines and I'm obsessed with Filipino food and not a single bite was less than perfection. My soul is satisfied. If I didn't have so much leftover I'd be going back tomorrow. Portion sizes are large. But definitely don't skip the desserts! Mmmm that ube jelly salad!! If I didn't convince you to go for the food, go for the owner's and ambience. Super cute interior. Nice, clean, welcoming. The owners Jhed and Tiny are super friendly and sweet. Loved chatting them up and their helpful tips on what to eat with what. So glad this place didn't disappoint. Though my waistline isn't going to be happy. They've earned a lifetime fan favorite customer for sure! Spread the word far and wide. This place is AMAZING!!!!!!

I had no idea what to order or how having had little prior experience with Filipino food. My server was very helpful and cheery explaining the ins and out of the menu. It all looked great. I ended up with an entree with two items though I probably would have been just fine with one and still have enough for a lunch the next day. Next time I would probably be fine with a bowl. So many items on the menu, so much to explore. I'll be back.

Food was amazing! The Honey Garlic Fried Chicken bites were BOMB. We went during the soft opening, so the whole menu was not available yet. Excited to go back and try everything else.

The food here is one of the best in the Bay Area! A must try. The place is so cozy and the staff are very friendly and nice!

Pamilya delivers Filipino comfort food in heaping portions includes sizzling sisig, springy pancit, fall-apart chicken adobo, and crunchy lumpia. Wonderful house-made desserts like velvety ube jelly, banana bread loaf, and "wedding" chocolate cake sweeten the visit, and we even nabbed some Goldilocks polvoron on the way out. Friendly service, fair prices, and flavors that feel like a warm family hug make this spot an instant favorite.
