Sarap Pinoy

Small & simple is best often. Walked in to eat at the cafeteria after a visit to the Jesse Jones Nature Center park. This cafe has lunch combos and you select the meat and sides accordingly. I got the two meat and one side combo with the free soup (soup for dine-in only), The food was super fresh and has a great homemade flavor. The small market has various Filipino products but I was there for lunch so I didn’t browse much. I will definitely visit again.

Brilliant hole in the wall serving absolutely delicious, home cooked style Fillipino meals. No frills, no show, just 100% home cooked style food. Fresh pancit, really good chicken adobo, fresh fried pompano, lumpia, Fillipino style sausages. Like I mean everything was A1. Service was fast and super friendly with a smile. Love small, clean places like this compared to big restaurants.

The staff was great, food was excellent but way over priced. I spend $45 for not alot of food. Also the items that are sold are expensive.

I for thanksgiving i ordered the beefsteak too was really good. In the pictures i ordered the chicken afritida, ube turon,halo halo, and chicken adabo also so good . IF IN AREA THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO TO.

First time here. Passed by this hidden gem so many times, and now I’m kicking myself. The food is amazing. The price is right for the quality. Huge portion! I got the #3 combo with rice, Filipino noodles, Mackerel, and stewed chicken!!!!!! Everything was delicious. I ate the whole fish bones and all!

Food was all excellent and delicious! She was so nice and walked us through all the menu items. The pancit, sour soup, and pork blood soup were all amazing!

In addition to being a pretty good Filipino buffet (with ENORMOUS portions), they have a decent grocery selection too! Where else can you get papaya herbal soap and buko pandan flavoring? Great service too! Definitely coming back to this place!

Wish the grocery store was bigger. The older lady kept watching me when I was trying to find some stuff. She ask me twice if I need help when I said no two times. The Philippine egg rolls are ok. They need to revise their menu prices because online the price is cheaper than when you pay

Quaint cafeteria in a small grocery store. Reasonable prices for combos. I would suggest staying away from the more expensive dishes such as karekare as they have to compromise on which meat cuts to use to make it work. Stick to the staples such as nilaga, sinigang and adobo. You get all the flavor and the right meats that go in the dish. Fried options are good as well. I got the Turon which is amazingly priced. Grocery store prices arent bad either if you just need to swing by. It is very small. Literally just the essentials.

Lady in the front was very nice and explained the menu to me. Severely disappointed in the portion sizes. I came in at 1pm and the still had decent options available. Rice was really bland, meat in stick was okay and lumpia was definitely refried. Sausage was okay. I try to support local and small businesses but there's no way combo b was worth a whole $15. Unfortunately I doubt I'll be going again.

Visited. Food good. Go by. Get your fix for Filpino food. Met Joe. Very nice young man. He'll fix you up. I missed Turon. He advised get there early. Nice place to dine. Home feeling. There's a store. So get your snacks. They have frozen foods. Baked goods. I'll be back. Hopefully soon.

I am so happy i found a Filllipoino store close.to me were i can get some Fillippino Food and Desserts also. The food and Service is very good .

I had the opportunity to taste Imeldas cooking and it was delicious, superb!!! When she's the cook I buy a lot from her.. Bon can cook too but most of his dishes are salty and the pancit too oily. I wish Imelda gets the chance to cook some dishes too. Especially the pancit is so perfect, sinigang and adobo!!!!

Their sinigang is a a must have! Definitely recommend their combo if you're looking to sample multiple dishes. The lady at that served us the food is so nice. Definitely helps to learn some tagalog :)

Food choices were small but packed with balanced flavor. The dinuguan had a very creamy smooth texture. I also had the lumpiang shanghai and pancit. They also sell some Filipino condiments and snacks.

Pancit!!! I've been wanting pancit for so long and I finally found a place that makes it! It was 8/10; very good, greasy, some fat with the pork(I don't like any fat texture). I also ordered pork egg rolls and they were good as well, fresh and crispy. A pleasant staff and good food. Small establishment, but doesn't take away from the delectable meals you can get.

I really liked it. My 3-4 Filipino/a nurses do not. Not sure how to rate it, so I guess I just gotta rate it based on taste and service.

Awesome hole in the wall. I enjoyed the 3 different menu items I ordered. The smoked fish was my favorite. The cashier was extremely helpful.

amazing food and amazing prices love coming here ! The service is just so amazing! The location is always very present and clean.

I really really wanted to like this place. We are 5 months new in Houston and have been on a hunt for some whole in a wall filipino food. Sadly, we probably won't be back again. We ordered the following: Pampano, Sinigang na Baboy, Pork bbq sticks, Adobo. Adobo - the favor is definitely there. However, it was definitely on the dry side and the amount of peppercorn was on a whole new level. It seems like they dropped a whole container of peppercorn in the adobo. I cannot even make my next bite without having to remove an incredible amount of peppercorn. Sinigang - Flavor is there but i would appreciate a more "sour flavor". This is just a preference though. Pork Bbq Stick - Really good. A bit dry and im assuming its probably been under the light for a long time. Definitely not "fresh" but its for sure flavorful Pampano - surprisingly, out of everything I have ordered this is the best tasting one. The flavor definitely penetrated the fish. Really good. Total is roughly $45. Quite high in my opinion for fish, 3 bbq sticks, sinigang, and adobo that is supposedly part of the "combo" but the price is definitely reasonable and fair.

I love the Laing that i take out. Salamat po! Happy to taste food far away from home that taste really delicious. We will be back again soon. Dami ko pong nakaing rice. Hahahaha buti na lang jahit lamon di tumataba.

Everything here is way overpriced and their food isn't that good either. Might as well go to other asian markets to get the same item, but at a more affordable price.

-newest review- OK I wanted to come back and give this place another chance because I really wanted to support them. I bought "halo-halo" (check the gallery) for what I got instead after being made to wait behind other people that were in line after me. No beans, no other fillings, no ube..etc. I was shocked and asked, "THIS is a halo halo?" Had they told me it was just banana and, ice, milk, and a little flan I probably would have just said no since I can make that at home without buying the premise jars. I'm so tired of giving this place a chance. If you don't have something, offer an alternative or offer a refund. Don't just assume a customer will be ok with it. --review no. 2-- Y'all there is nothing I hate more than unprofessionalism. What once was a 4.5 star review I am taking down to 2. Their hours are listed at opening at 9 am today and after taking our time to drive there at 11am , they end up "not ready" without any food out. Told us to come back later. By the way this is the SECOND time this has happened. Sorry, but I don't think we will be coming anytime soon anymore. ---old review--- Let me preface this by saying: this is not a restaurant, and there is no buffet when we got there. Just good ol' a la carte service like Pugon de Manila--another Pinoy food place we frequent. My review is based on the expectations I have of an a la carte canteen instead of a restaurant. We ordered 2 two-entree combos which came with two lumpia rolls and a choice of either rice or pancit. Each order cost $8. Definitely inexpensive. The serving size fit the price and filled us up with a little bit of leftovers. -Dinuguan was pretty good. Just slightly salty and not as fatty as the other review made it out to be. -Chicken curry is pretty good, less aromatic than the Indian version (tailored to Filipino tastebuds imo) -Monggo bean soup had a little too much pork fat and needed more monggo -Pinakbet was really yummy. It had the yellow squash, okra, and ampalaya expected or it. The place had a clean & organized small filipino grocery section, complete with homemade lumpia to buy/seasonings/noodles. When I spoke to the cashier they said they were planning on expanding it and I hope to get access to some longganisa soon. It's in Humble in an older shopping center by a bar and some other small businesses. Places around there close down frequently and it's easy to see why. The area is not the most attractive place to drive to. I hope they find a way to attract customers and continue the nice improvements because this part of town certainly could use some Filipino food eateries.

Sarap ng lutong Pinoy! Refreshing break from all the usual recipes! Please don't change the way you do the cooking Love love love it!

So, this place just recently re-opened under new management. My wife and i used to eat here every couple months or so. I will start off by saying its not the same as it was. Some food items are better but most are definately NOT! We had grilled chicken quarter, pancet, blood stew (chocolate meat), lumpia, and pinak bet. The grilled chicken was delicious. However, you think you are getting a thigh and leg, but you are only really getting half of that because it is sliced thin. you dont realize the lower half is missing until you start to eat it. Wtf!!!???? How can anyone be such a cheap ass as that????? LOL!!! The rediculousness of this cost savings measure is hilarious to me. The entire time i was eating it, i was wondering to myself what on earth they do with the part you are cheated out of? The pancet is crap. If you like dry noodles, a load of chicken boulion, and carrots, this is for you. Otherwise, i suggest choosing something else. The blood stew tasted great, especially if you mix it with white rice. The problem is that the cuts of pork they chose were perhaps 85% fat. I do understand you need fat to enhance the flavor of this dish, but jesus! I guess pork fat costs less than meat? The lumpia isnt nearly as good as it used to be. The actual flavor was decent i guess but they were really dry, and tiny too. The pinak bet was pretty bad. A bunch of russet and sweet potatoes mostly. Not much flavor. It irritated me that they call this an entray when it basically contained no meat. In sumary, the owners are new, perhaps they are trying to get it figured out. The prices here arent necessarily high, but they are not cheap either. My impression of the place is that they are trying too hard to maximize their profits at the expense of quality. The old CEO of continental airlines used to say that you can make a pizza so cheap no one wants to eat it. This, i have to say seems like some inexpensive pizza. It seems like they are making the cheapest food they possibly can that still almost qualifies as the cuisine they are trying to produce. Neither my wife nor i are even Philippino. If we notice, imagine how the locals will think? I hope it gets better. If not, i predict they will be closed in a year or less. We will be back in a couple months to give this place another chance. For now however, i would say the experience was a bust. Blah!

A little store and restaurant combined. This place has some groceries such as snacks, frozen and canned goods that one can pick up on the way while they are having a meal here. This place strictly serves delicious Filipino food. The individuals who work here are nice as well.

Authentic Filipino cuisine. Food is delicious and the staff is so friendly " service with a smile". The mini grocery store on the side makes it convenient for customers to grab their favorite Filipino products.

Never fails to satisfy me. Love how I can sample each item and then make my choice. Price is definitely a great value for the food.

We ordered a couple of party trays for my son's 2nd birthday and this is our first time trying their food, we decided to give it a shot due to good reviews and oh my all the foods that we ordered was amazing and tastes soooooo good. 10 stars out of 5!!!!

True to it's name, the food is SARAP! We've eaten here twice this week. Both times the food was fresh and delicious. The place is clean and the staff warm and friendly. They are also a grocery store on top of being a restaurant. Note: The place is under new ownership. If In the past you weren't satisfied, I highly recommend going back. So happy to stumble upon this place again! Salamat, Sarap Pinoy!

I really like this place. The food is really good and the staff is so friendly. They always make me feel welcome.

I think I just totally Babuy pamore when comes to good filipino food. They really upped their game since the last time I visited. They are coming up with new flavors and majority of familiar flavors. I hope that this place becomes and actual restaurant that can serve the masses and put your money where your mouth is. Great job!

I'm a very busy person. Most of the time I don't have time to cook at home. I love Filipino/Asian food. So one day I passed and ordered food from this restaurant. You know what? Instead of buying fast food; I would rather buy home cooked Filipino food from this place. So close to where I live. The price is so reasonable and the food is the Bomb! I found a new go to place to eat. I would definitely recommend you to go and try the food. I heard it's under new ownership which explains why the place is not yet fully setup. For me, if the food taste great, I'm in. Loved the chocolate meat.

Nice small grocery feel. Good for a quick stop on the go. Location is a little hard to find.

I had to create a yelp account so I could review this place, it's a hidden treasure. This is my second time coming here and I will definitely be back. The best place other than my aunts kitchen to get some amazing Filipino food! You have to try the chicken or pork adobo with the pancit!

So excited I found this place thanks to a local FB classifieds page! Now I don't have to drive 30 minutes to the Hong Kong market for my Lumpia wrappers. The staff here were so helpful as well. Nice little shop, they do have a buffet area with a few tables set up. I can't wait to go and eat there as I'm sure their food is a solid 5 stars as well!

Really authentic Filipino food, all in a buffet or made-to-order. My faves are adobo, dinuguan, and of course, turon for dessert.

Yummy Filipino American food. I like the sautéed watercress, sweet sour fish, shrimp roll, baked salmon, kaldereta, shrimp sinigang.

I wish it had more food to select from but all in all it was nice and neat. Nice people and not pricey. It is also like a store too.

The new management has turned this place from bad to pretty good. The cooks are all from Pompanga which is known for creating the best cooks in the world. I use to drive 45 minutes to get authentic food instead of less than 10 minutes to shop and eat here. Not any more.

authentic Filipino food! went today for the first time and really enjoyed the food. got to meet the owner too and Cristina is soooo nice you feel at home right away. We had chicken adobo, sinigang and turon which are superbly good. Will definitely come back here more often!;)
