Russ Fam Kitchen

Filipino food located within a gas station at the on in Daly City. They have a wide variety of items and especially the popular ilocos empanadas that are pretty hard to find nowadays. Ilocos empanadas are like a deep fried Filipino taco filled with sausage/longanisa, hard boiled egg, cabbage and other things and you pour or dip your empanada with vinegar. Best eaten fresh while it’s nice and crispy and deep fried. They’re about $7 a piece and they close at 7pm. I’d like to try more on their menu in the future.

A hole in the wall that’s worth visiting. The scramble is reminiscent of what we have in the Philippines (but quite pricey for $9). I loved the cheese birria (also a bit expensive) as it had a generous amount of cheese and meat. The dipping sauce also complemented the birria very well. They have a very simple menu and we’ll probably go back once in a while for certain items that can only be found here.

Not easy to find them as it is attached to the Gas station. Small place to accomodate more than 5 people. I hope they find a bigger place. About the food, their dinakdakan looks like a small serving but very filling and yummy. Isaw gave me a flashback of the philippines. It taste the same as what we have in the philippines. Their fish ball is also good but pricey. And my most fave is their Iskrambol...i loveeee their iskrambol , i remember my childhood eating it and taste exactly like the iskrambol u find in the street of the philippines...yummmy. we are 45 minutes drive from Russ, so I buy 3- 4 iskrambol everytime to save for later.

They accidentally gave my food to someone else, so I had to wait 55 minutes for Birria tacos and Empanadas. The Birria tacos wasn’t hot, barely warm. The Empanadas was full of cooking oil, like it was pulled right out of the oil and into the bag.

This spot is such a hidden gem. I didn’t even know it existed until my husband saw it on TikTok. It’s a family-run place where everything’s made fresh when you order—and it’s seriously so good. Totally worth the wait. They just opened their actual location in late October 2024, but they’ve been doing catering and pop-ups since 2021. Russ and Feonah, the owners, are super chill and so easy to talk to. I felt like I’d known them forever. They were chatting with me while cooking up a bunch of orders—just really down-to-earth people who clearly love what they do. You can see it in the way they talk about their food, and you can definitely taste it too. Just good vibes all around. For our first time here we ordered: 1. Cheezy birria tacos - So flavorful and juicy. I didn't think it needed the consome. 2. Cali Spam Musubi (D.C. Spam Musubi?) - An elevated spam musubi to the 100th power. A cross between. Cali roll and spam musibi. However you want to describe it I couldn't get enough. First bite you get the imitation crab, spam, unagi sauce.. it's a flavor explosion in your mouth. Presentation was exquisite for a to-go order. 3. Crispy lumpia - Crunchy on the outside but so moist on the inside. I never would've known it had bell peppers in it. It was so flavorful on its own it didn't really need the sauce. 4. Classic chicken wings - Perfectly cooked and well seasoned. It had a subtle sweetness to it. For this one, I felt like I needed to eat it with rice. Once I did it hit the spot. Maybe it's the filipino in me but it just balanced it out. 5. Lechon kawali - Cruchy goodness with the thin layer of skin, fat, and meat....then you dip it in the lechon sauce. Smackin I tell you. 6. Dinakdakan - I recently just tried this at a different restaurant. It's not sisig but it has a mayo base. This had a kick to it as well. Once you start eating it you can't stop. They also have a secret menu item *Dubai chocolate covered strawberries Right now I'm stuffed but can't wait to come back and try their other items. I highly recommend this place and urge everyone to try. Parking is a little hard, so I recommend to have one person on the car, while another orders. That's what I did... 😉

Finally got my empanadas after going there for the 4th time. Ordered 6 empanadas but only received 5. I got 6 foil bags but only 5 empanadas. Honest mistake for the cashier was really nice. I’ll just let it go for now, they might not believe me if I go there and complain. I suggest to be more careful with everyone’s order. I paid $52.20 with tax + 15% tip just to let them know just in case they read their reviews.

It’s a gas station take out that is actually good. I had the pork and it was great only thing I can complain about is the portion size, but I’m a fat boy so it is what it is. Would recommend

The lion king sushi bake and the crispy dinakdakan tasted good. Would have been a 5 star review. The iskrambol drink or whatever had a weird chemical taste. It messed up my stomach. I had to make myself puke to feel better. Maybe some random bad batch. An experienced enough to not get that drink again.

This place is the most AMAZING place ever for Filipino people!!(P.S. it does have a long waiting time but I promise it is sooo worth it! Also I'm a real person)

I've been to Russ and Fam kitchen a handful of times and I have fully enjoyed everything I get there. This place is a little hidden gem. Im so impressed by their ability crank out quality food from a tiny space. Service is always friendly and professional. They are always hard at work, but never seem too busy for a friendly greeting amd warm service. The food... I have not yet taken part in most of their staples, which all look very good. The menu is ecclectic, innovative and fun. Not your typical filipino restaraunt fare. There are some street food classics and plates. But for the most i have taken advantage of their willingness to take on and offer their takes on viral food trends. During the summer, they offered dubai chocolate strawberry cups. These were outstanding, generous size and very appealing to the eye. I went back for these a couple of times. Currently, I am obsessing over their Ilocos empanadas. These are a perfrct snack/merienda. Savory, crispy and the filling is satisfying. The filling is loganisa sausage, grated green papaya and a whole egg. Their house vinegar is super flavorful. I cant wait to try it on their other items like kwek kwek and skewers. Overall, i am super interested in their offerings and monitor their IG for the next special. Its always a treat worth trekking out for.

Everyone raves about the Ilocos empanada here and for good reason. It's packed with protein, perfectly crispy on the outside, and the vinegar on the side takes it to another level, so don't skip it! If you're planning to try it, come early because they tend to sell out fast. And heads up, it's a bit greasy, so have some napkins ready. What people should be talking about, though, is my favorite dish: the Crispy Dinakdakan Rice Plate. If you're into pork sisig, you'll love this. Both are made from grilled and chopped pork parts like ears, face, and liver. The difference is that Dinakdakan is creamier and has a chunkier texture, which I personally prefer. It's got a serious kick, so if you're not into spicy food, this might not be for you but if you are, it's amazing. Parking is basically street-only and can be tough, but honestly, it's worth it. If you're craving flavorful Filipino fusion food, this spot delivers every time!

This review is solely based on the ilocos empanadas, which they offered for their first time in the menu this past Wednesday. I've been dying to try the ilocos empanadas, as I'm always seeing it all over TikTok. When I arrived, I ordered 6 which were $8 each plus some tax. I waited about 10-15 minutes, which was not too bad for me considering they were a bit busy. The vinegar sauce was self-serve so I packed some up as I waited. Once I got my hands on the empanadas, we rushed home and boy did it not disappointment. I have nothing to compare it to but I really enjoyed it --is all I can say. The shredded papaya and ilocano longanisa with the egg in the middle as the filling was just so yummy! I couldn't forget to pour the vinegar with every bite. I'm so used to eating very meaty empanadas so this was a nice change from what I'm used to. It was so good, I made a preorder for 5 more. Not sure if this will become a regular thing on their menu or if they'll continue to offer it a couple times throughout the month. I hope they do! I have yet to try anything else here but the next time I come buy, I'll give other things a try.

We finally got to try ilocos empanadas in the Bay Area! They posted on their Instagram what day they'd be taking preorders through Venmo so pickup was easy. It came to be around $17.58 for 2 pieces. The party ahead of us was unable to place an order since they prioritized preorders. The first ilocos empanadas I've tried were from Hawaii for $5 each (Nora's and Alicia's Empanadas) so I did find these to be similar in terms of the filling. The ones from Hawaii were my favorite as far as I can remember. It's nice to know they sell this on their menu since it's been a while that I've had ilocos empanadas. I'm not sure if any other restaurant in Daly City is selling empanadas like these so if you want your cravings satisfied I'd try out Russ Fam Kitchen! Place your preorders if you can!

All the food I tried here was executed extremely well, and everything was incredibly fresh. They specialize in grab & go Filipino cuisine (drawing from Daly City's deep cultural heritage!), but there is a mix of other fried & freshly prepared items as well. The kitchen & order counter is literally inside the gas station convenience store...a hole in the wall in the purest sense! (keep this in mind if you plan to eat on site--parking is extremely limited and they have a single table outside, nearby fumes of gasoline...) The sleeper hit for me were their Birria tacos, perhaps the best I've tried in the Bay (stiff competition!). They advertise these as a pack of 4 for $20. I didn't want 4 tacos for just me, so I asked if they could do 2, which they did for $12! Given the quality, fresh tortillas, well-seasoned consomé (not overly salty), and ample meat, I felt this was a good value. I also tried their Dinakdakan, which is essentially fried pork belly, served with a creamy white sauce, chopped jalapeños, and a side of rice for $16. This is a unique Filipino dish and the portion was huge. Great value. I was least impressed by their chicken wings, not because they weren't fresh (they were fried well, not overly greasy and the meat was tender). I felt the seasoning to be too one-note, and it didn't really "pop" like I wanted it to. I also felt the price ($16) was a touch too steep for the 8 wings provided (on the smaller side). Wouldn't go out of my way to get those again. I wanted to try their Dubai strawberries, but those weren't available the day I visited, so I opted for the Iskrambol (classic) instead. It's essentially a slushie with shaved ice and various candy accoutrements (marshmallows, etc). I felt the sweetness was just right, and the shaved ice wasn't too watery. It cost $9, however, which I felt was reasonable, but this is another one I wouldn't go out of my way to get again. They add a credit card fee of 3% to all orders. They also have weird hours (2p-7p most days), so keep that in mind if you are coming for lunch. All in all, I was impressed by the high quality coming out of a literal gas station, and you can tell this family-operated business is run with love. I will definitely return to try some of their other specialties like the lumpia and sushi bake.

This is located inside the gas station convenience store and is very casual. The $20 cheezy birria taco. It comes with 4 tacos. I shared this and was pretty full after 2 tacos. It was savory and delicious. I'd pass on the $15 pork siomai . The lion king sushi bake and cali spam musubi look really good. I'll have to try those next time. Other patrons said the skewers were really good.

I decided to try out this place since there's not a lot of street food seller around the area. First off, it was hard to find a parking space. 2nd, the place is not for dining in. They have a few selection, but what I really wanted to try was the isaw, kwek kwek and iskrambol. It was good but we find the iskrambol too sweet so i'm giving 8/10. I like the isaw, just needed a lil more grill time. I could've ordered for more but it was a lil' pricey $13 for 3 stix. Love the kwek kwek.

This place is a hidden gem! Passing by you wouldn't know that they are even there. Located right inside a gas station. The reason I knew of this place was from social media and through word of mouth from my husband's co-worker. Food was super fresh and reasonably priced. Service was fast, the staff was super friendly and hospitable. The husband and wife duo is super nice and it shows they care about their business and what they sell. Their little business is well kept and clean. Please come and give this place a try, you'd be missing out if you don't. Will 10/10 definitely come by again.

Super polite staff and great food. Hidden in a gas station replacing the Mediterranean place (RIP). It's super cute family run gem. I tried the strawberry Dubai parfait and it was solid. Would go great over some ice cream if you're sharing. The lechon and the braised pork were both succulent and perfectly cooked. The lumpia were also great super crispy even after driving home with the lid closed. I'll be coming back soon. Side note parking is a bit iffy in the area so I'll be exploring ordering ahead and doing a drive by pick up.

Small "to go" Filipino dishes and street food (fish balls, kwek-kwel, isaw, kikiam, etc) found inside a gasoline station in Daly City. Love the isaw and dinakdakan with rice. Unfortunately, they were sold out of some items when we got there. The staff were friendly and you just need to wait a little as your order is being prepared. Very casual ambian and note that finding street parking can be an issue.

This spot is such a hidden gem. I didn't even know it existed until my husband saw it on TikTok. It's a family-run place where everything's made fresh when you order--and it's seriously so good. Totally worth the wait. They just opened their actual location in late October 2024, but they've been doing catering and pop-ups since 2021. Russ and Feonah, the owners, are super chill and so easy to talk to. I felt like I'd known them forever.

I highly recommend this place and urge everyone to try. Parking is a little hard, so I recommend to have one person on the car, while another orders. That's what I did...

Waited for 30 minutes for my orders. Chicken is half cooked, dinakdakan is no good and the kikiam was overcooked. Not worth for the price and time waited . Just go to seafood city cheaper and better service and no long lines.

The food is really good. Not what you would expect from a gasoline station. The Lechon Kawali is Crispy outside and tender inside. The lumpiang Shanghai is tasty and has really good ingredients. The braised pork is very tender. The iskrambol really reminded me of the street version in Manila only much better, The staff is very friendly and very attentive. The place is not very big but they have some great food. The to go containers are solid and not flimsy. This place will give a lot of well known restaurants a run for their money because of their generous portions and reasonable prices. I highly recommend it. Please visit them, If you want Great Food and Friendly Service.

So I heard from some of the folks I know mentioned to me this is the spot. I heard they use to cook in house and did several pop up events so definitely hit up their now brick and mortar spot and glad to have sampled several items from their menu, let me break down everything sampled and how everything faired The Sushi Bake - honestly never really liked sushi bake but this spot I do recommend it, small will easily feed 3 people if not 4 if you get more dishes, they provide seaweed for this dish, just grab a bit from the dish, and place on top of seaweed and eat away, you can add as much or as little as you want this dish is perfect for sharing with folks Cali Spam Musubi - yeah I know I know its just spam and seaweed with sauce, nope not this spot haha, they brought it up a level by adding sushi bake on top then slightly drizzled sauce, man bit pricey for just 2 but it was well worth the cost for this dish, one can easily be shared with another person since it is massive, definitely order this Cheesy Birria - heavy, delicious, flavorful and meat is super tender, they give you 4 and no joke these are pretty far up there in taste so if you like birria tacos definitely order this dish lumpia - shanghai style decently seasoned served piping hot, definitely finger foods to be shared Braised Pork Belly over rice with lumpia - another heavy hitter, yes it is fatty but it is well seasoned, so picture adobo, but made with all pork belly again delicious they did a good job with this dish imma have to come back and sample the Lechon Kawali and the Pork Dinaknakan, maybe even the fried chicken but everything I sampled was delicious and I would order it again. Hats off to the chefs definitely reinventing some dishes and adding that flair that makes it their own food ***** wow price $$ service ***** best to order via phone or online then pick it up, super helpful and super friendly ambiance *** it is a restaurant share with gas station, seating is small two long tables but difficult to get in and out of the seating area once you get in

Someone posted some really good reviews about this place so I had to try. First of all, Feonah, the owner, is super nice and friendly!!! The food was great! We tried a few things: Chicken Wings - Very good! The seasonings were just perfect. $16 for 8 pieces. I suppose that's not bad. Lion King Sushi Bake - Loved it! It was freshly made, so it was hot when we got it. I'd probably ask for lighter sweet sauce next time because I am cutting back on sugar. $17 for small. That's not bad either. Good size and worth it. Pork Lumpia - The best lumpia I've ever had in a very long time compared to many Filipino eateries/restaurants in the area. You don't even need the sauce. By itself was just fine. Garlicky, crispy and fresh. Perfect amount of pork inside and good size. 10 pieces for $13. Definitely worth it. Fried Fish Balls - This was just okay, nothing special. I've never had it so I don't know how it's supposed to taste. However, I've seen it sold at other places but they were round. I was surprised to see that the pieces were sliced like 1/3 of the actual fish ball. Anyway, I'm not a big fan. $8 for two sticks (5 pieces per stick). I'd skip this next time. I was disappointed that they didn't have any Dubai desserts, but I guess that's a good thing. I didn't need anymore sweets today. I'd definitely come back here to try the other items and for more lumpia, fried chicken wings and sushi bake!

We had lunch there and it was pretty damn good.. We tried almost everything on their menu and we finished it all. Too bad this place isn't a real restaurant where u can dine in but they do have a couple small tables outside though.They are located inside a gas station which was kinda strange when we got there. Parking wasn't bad at all.

Surprisingly good Filipino food for a gas station spot. The flavors were authentic and satisfying, with portions that hit the spot. It's a bit unexpected to find lumpia and I saw next to the fuel pumps, but definitely worth stopping for if you're in the area.

Waited almost 2hrs just to get my food. Ridiculous waiting time. Food was great but its not worth the wait of 2hrs.

Food is amazing!!! And the service was so friendly and generous. So glad we stopped and will definitely be back.

We first tried Russ Fam when they would attend the Filipino festival in Hayward where they used to only sell the iskrambol and sushi bake. Even then, I have loved their iskrambol because it's the closest thing from what I used to eat back home in the Philippines. When we moved to the peninsula, I was so happy when I found out they have a kitchen here! We tried their cheezy birria tacos, siomai, and the dinakdakan! Everything was so darn good so we decided to have them cater my daughter's first birthday! The guests were raving about the food! It also helped that they presented the food so nicely. Thank you so much Feonah and Russ! Highly recommend!

The food is super tasty and yummy and it cooks perfectly good. The price is pretty high in what you like ex: "kwek kwek" is a bit overpriced for the sized of it. I think it is overprices overall, the dessert is freshly made just how it's like in the streets of Manila. It is always busy so prepare to wait for your order more than 20minutes. I honestly thought it be a restaurant but its located inside a liquor store so the line get too long and barely space to wait inside, I can only hope that they make a lot enough to relocate and have a bigger place I can totally see the amount of people would go here each and everyday no doubt. Since it is a small tiny space, I can only visit and have the goods probably once in 6months or even a year. Since I live 30-1hr away depending on the traffic.

So I was a little skeptical at first. So it's in a gas station and I heard about it on Instagram. I wasn't sure about Filipino-Mexican fusion with a Hawaiian twist. But you know what, when I needed to gas up my car and I dropped by this place, it was like finding a hundred dollar bill on the street in Union Square. Not a dirty bill, but a crisp new bill. It was like hitting the jackpot. Their Lechon kawali was so crispy and tender and juicy it was to die for. At first I ate it with the Mang Tomas and was like "ok, you go, girl." But then I tried it with the spiced vinegar and I almost damn near started crying, thinking this was as good if not better than the Lechon Kawali I'd find in Manila. Then I tried their cheesy quesabirria tacos. Man, I normally don't even like quesabirria. But when I had my first couple bites, I knew I was in love. My kids had the other ones and devoured them in seconds. The musubi, man, I didn't even get a chance to eat it as my youngest son ate both of them so quick that my other son and I didn't have a chance. The food here is damned good. Yes, I know there's a lot of hype. But you know what the hype is real. This place makes food that really feeds my Filipino American soul. Love it and can't wait to go back!

I tried the Dubai chocolate cups, sushi bake, lumpia, pork belly and birria tacos. I liked the sushi bake my kids enjoyed that because I make one similar. Items are a little pricey. Small business inside of gas station and it's just a family so orders take a while. I'll probably be back for sushi bake.

Stopped by this weekend and tried the braised pork belly over rice that came with 3 pieces of lumpia for $18, 4 birria tacos for $20, and got their original and ube shaved ice desserts both for $18. The tacos were pretty good! It came with all the pickled veggies, consume, and some hot sauce. The pork belly was a good portion size and was very tender. Flavor was mostly sweet with a hint of savory. As for the shaved ice desserts, I liked the ube one better as it wasn't as sweet as the original. I def will be back to try the other items on their menu!

I really enjoyed everything we ordered -- the siomai, braised pork belly, lumpia, and especially the iskrambol! Everything tasted delicious and truly captured that authentic, homemade Filipino flavor. It instantly brought back memories -- I'm sure a lot of Filipinos miss iskrambol and isaw! I'm so glad I don't have to drive all the way to SoCal, East Bay, or Southbay just to get iskrambol.too sweet thougj, i added water at home haha, but it is still good. Thank you for putting it on the menu! I was hoping to try the isaw, but unfortunately it was already sold out when I arrived.Overall, the food was DELICIOUS! WAITING TIME : I'm giving 4 stars mainly because of the WAIT TIME -- just like others mentioned on Yelp and Google. This place has great potential, but the service process definitely needs improvement. They're open from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM. We arrived around 5:30 PM and didn't get our food until 6:25 PM -- ALMOST AN HOUR later. The cashier did let us know it would be about 30 minutes, but it ended up taking twice as long. It seemed like the staff was overwhelmed with both in-store and online (DoorDash/Uber Eats) orders. For example: * One customer ended up requesting a refund because she couldn't wait another 30 minutes. The owner offered either a refund or to give her whatever was ready -- she opted for the food or what she ordered. * Order numbers were called out in no particular order --example 45 first and then 42. Not sure how the queue or cooking priority is handled. * Several DoorDash and Uber Eats drivers were also waiting for quite some time. * At one point, the cashier had to stop taking new orders just to help get food out to those already waiting. I completely understand they're new and likely adjusting to the demand. I sincerely wish them success and hope they can implement a more efficient system. A one-hour wait feels a bit too long, especially when you're just ordering takeout. PARKING -I discovered this spot through social media, and it's clear they're getting popular fast -- lines are long, people are even parking at the gas station. It's a good problem to have from a business perspective! But for the customers, parking can be a struggle in this location. You can park at the streets little far from the store thougj. They're currently located inside a gas station convenience store, but I can definitely see them expanding into a bigger space someday with more systematic approach (with better parking, hopefully!). Looking forward to that!!! The prices are decent.

Love the baked sushi and iskrambol. Plus they're friendly & super nice. Yet to try - they have street food now too.

The ilocos empanadas alone are a reason I'd go back frequently! I hate to share bc it'll make the lines longer and possibility of running out faster but props need to be given! The flavor is all there compared to others I've tried which were on the bland side. Theirs is flavorful and less greasy! Please put your vinegar in bottles! Haha gotta also give props to the dinakdakan! Super flavorful, only thing is maybe a little less spice haha. Owners are awesome and can't wait to see what else comes to their menu! Great addition to this spot!

The staff was very friendly from the moment I walked in with my mom, we were greeted with a hello, smile and eye contact, so we felt welcomed right away. I believe it was a husband-and-wife team along with another gentleman. I ordered Lechon Kawali and Iskrambol, and both were so delicious that I'll definitely be coming back. The only thing I regret is not coming sooner! I can't wait to try their other street food next time.

Food is good, service good. The location is tricky since there's 3 businesses sharing parking. But to be honest. I couldn't even feed my kids with just 100 bucks. I got 5 boys. Plus me and my wife. Too pricey for my family. I'll come back when it's affordable. Nice place tho

Staff is super friendly and helpful. Prices are fair and wait for food is reasonable. Russ Fam Kitchen is located in the convenience store section of a gas station, but don't let it fool you. Food is amazing! Been there twice and tried the lion king sushi bake (DELICIOUS), pork and shrimp siomai (good portion and filling), birria tacos (SO GOOD), and the Cali spam musibi (TASTY!). We've also tried the original and Ube Iskrambols and they're all worth it! They also do a Dubai chocolate Iskrambol which is next on our to try list! If you can call in / order online, it will help speed up your order when you get there. Definitely will be back!

Food was delicious! We liked the birria tacos, sushi bake, and especially the chicken wings. I also ordered the ice scramble drinks (a bit too sweet for me but good nonetheless) and their newest item - the Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup, which you have to eat right away because the chocolate they use hardens up right away and is hard to scrape from the cup. The couple running this was super nice! Parking can be a challenge at their gas station spot.

Great food but can't handle catering. Try to book it for a party but owner not responsive.

I came to the Russ Fam Kitchen today after my haircut. Didn't check the time they were open but I was there an hour early. The cook told me they opened later but he can make me something rq. Great costumer service. The cheese on the birria taco goes crazy. I got a cheese pull from it. Highly recommend! Thank you Russ fam for taking the time to feed me even though yall weren't opened. Hope your guys restaurant begins to prosper.

Delicious and worth the wait . Ordered the Dubai chocolate strawberries and Dinakdakan.

Ordered food Togo today and when I went to pick it up it was ready for me at noon. Pick up was seamless and workers are really nice. The place is small and inside an Arco gas station. Food was really good. Portions sizes are adequate and they give you more than enough rice. Food quality and tastiness line up with pricing. We tried the dinadakan and lechon kawali it was all super good. This is a place I would recommend and will visit often!

Reallllllllly enjoyed the lion king bake and lumpia. Such great flavor and portions. I can not wait to back and try the quesabirria tacos.

The servers talk too much to the point that they forgot people's order. They are friendly and nice but when they do their job they mess it up

Food is amazing! Their team is incredible! Always super friendly and amazing with the timing. Please bring back the pancakes

On top of the amazing food, the owners are incredibly warm and welcoming. Their friendly demeanor and passion for what they do create a wonderful atmosphere that makes the experience even more special. I ordered the sushi bake and it's one of my favorites over the weekend I also ordered the Dubai chocolate strawberry and it's one of the best tasting one had! My daughter loved it!!

Good spot for some yummy food. Friendly owner and employee. I tried iskramble since I haven't had those for like years and I give it 5 out of 5. The lechong kawali is good no need for utensil use hands but don't forget to wash lol. I'll try the chicken next time.

Their popularity has overwhelmed their spot, unfortunately. I ordered online via Yelp for a 2:30pm pickup order, and several people were waiting on their orders. Those just ordering were told it's at least 30 minutes wait. Good problem to have, but still a problem. People had very little room to wait because the store space's had stacks of beverage inventory on the floor. Having owned a Philippine cuisine fast food business myself years ago, I know there's a lot of food prep involved. They'll need to prep earlier to accommodate their growing popularity. Folks are waiting though just like me. I arrived at 2:20pm to pickup my 2:30pm order, and it was finally ready at 2:41. Food looks fantastic though, but they definitely need to move to a bigger facility. Growing pains of success, but I wish them much success. We will see how the food goes over ;) 3 stars for now...will re-edit when I get food reactions from my fam.

Russ Fam Kitchen is one of the most unique eating experiences you will have. Fantastic Filipino food, warm friendly service, and unique atmosphere combine to make this a one of a kind experience. We met the owner and most of her family/crew when we ordered. The lumpia was top notch! Light, crispy wrapper and fresh, delicious filling. Not greasy at all. Dipping sauce was flavorful and tangy. We had crispy lechon and rice. Fabulous!! My wife is Filipina and we have sampled these delicacies all over.. these were up in the top 10. We will definitely return. We ventured to this neighborhood just for this spot and it was worth it.

The food is great. I got the Ube scramble and tried some of their menu. Everyone is so friendly and tells you how long you'll wait before your order is done. Service is great. The only other option is to eat at the table outside which is just a small space. Will definitely come back.

Absolutely amazing food and service! Very central convenient location for most people, I only drove 10 min from Pacifica and if run out of gas getting here you can fill up outside! I got the Dinakdankan which I've been craving and it definitely satisfied every aspect, it also comes with rice and cucumbers. My boyfriend got the Cali Spam Musubi which was really good as well, he's more of a spam person so he loved it. We shared the ube iskrambol which reminded me of the Jolibee Ube cooler (iykyk) but it had more ube flavor and I drank the entire thing in less than 15 minutes. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND coming here or ordering online, the lady that helped us out today was super kind and answered all our questions. I can't wait to try out more of their items :)

I've seen them all over tiktok and I wanted to support a small family business. After we ordered one of the workers was eating and drinking right next to the person making our food and just overall she was in the area where they're making the food and I found that very unprofessional and just not clean. You can see towards the end of the video she shoves her finger with the glove on in her mouth.

Yummy sushi bake. The Ube Eskrambol was extremely good. Husband enjoyed it. It suxmcks that they are only open 2 to 7

Wonderful people, great food. The atmosphere is very relaxed and casual. Super friendly environment.
