Great filipino food Fast and conveniently located. Highly recommend for folks looking for filipino comfort food. Only wished they'd properly make and offer pancit palahbok. Other than that still highly recommend

Great place for Filipino food in the DC area. Delicious food for affordable price. However, if you want to try their food, you will need to go right at lunch hours.

Run by this tita and tito... Evelyn's home cooked Filipino food is very hearty and delicious. You'll never know what she will be cooking that day like it's just whatever she wants. Amazing vibes. Definitely a little slower service since they take their time and sometimes will even open late. There's also snacks and pastries in the market you can shop for, but I love the cafeteria style lunch take-out boxes. We got to try pancit, lumpia, beef stew, and some veggies. Generous portions. Very filling and affordable!

Never Open Food may be great, but I wouldn't know. I've tried--unsuccessfully--to get some three times. The first time there was a hand-written sign on the door saying away, reopening on Wednesday. Showed up on Wednesday. New sign, new reopening day. Showed up on the new day, no sign, still not open. Not wasting any more time here. There are other, great options like Filipino Global Supermarket down by Seminary and Carlin Springs.

First time at this place 8/1/ 23. Food was absolutely delicious! The food taste fresh and the meat was nice and tender. There was a regular customer there that mentioned the chefs food had nursed him back to health, now that is amazing! They say eating out is unhealthy but I think this place is like a home cooked meal! I would have posted a pic of my meal but I forgot and ate it all.

This place was so good, it's inspired me to write my first ever review of a place. We stayed at a cheap hotel nearby for a wedding and found this spot for a quick bite. We were blown away. We went back twice and even bought stuff for the trip home. I would tolerate that hotel again just to be close to Chef Evelyn's market. I'm now going to write my second review ever for that awful hotel.

Hidden gem with amazing food. It's a casual deli takeout place with limited hours but the food here is delicious, including all the different irresistible desserts!They have a hot lunch bar with limited hours, but they also have some refrigerated premade foods. The desserts are amazing and so reasonably priced.Parking: Limited street parking

This was a modest store that offer Filipino snacks, rice cakes and prepared hot meals. I heard their turo turo (cafeteria style food) runs from 12nn to 2pm and always gets sold out. The chef herself greeted us, prepared our orders and billed us out. She made conversation and was so friendly and down to earth. Mind you, she seems to be very popular seeing that she had many recognitions as shown on the framed newspaper clippings and photos with celebrities. And rightfully so, the food that we ordered were so delicious. We had the beef lumpia and lechon kawali. I've never had beef as the meat in my lumpia rolls before but these were great. Super crunchy and flavorful! The lechon kawali also had great texture - the skin had a nice crunch yet the meat itself was tender and moist. Highly recommend this spot for good, homey Filipino food and friendly service!

First time here today. Bought 3 lunch platters, lumpia, desserts, and groceries. It's small and wait time was long but it's run by 2 people serving food and working the cashier with a long line. I loved that it had several choices that weren't pork or shellfish. Very rare to find. Pancit was not oily-huge plus! Beefstik very tender and NOT fatty! Lumpia Shanghai was beef and not pork - another huge plus! I've lived with in the DMV for over 10 years and can't believe this is my first time. Will be a regular.

Such a great little place and Master Chef Evelyn greets you like you're family. Get there around 12 for the lunch takeout.

At $7.50 for the lunch platter this place is a great deal and great food! Their lunch special is from 12 PM to 2 PM.It's a pretty good portion and and everything is pretty tasty. I also got the egg rolls for an extra $3.50, which comes with 10 eggrolls. A steal! They have some ube pies and Pan Dan snacks as well as rice noodles I tried pancit for the first time at another restaurant recently, and I definitely think this place does it better. The service is super friendly husband and wife who have written cook books and make all the food themselves. It's a buffet counter, so there's no seating and it can crowded at lunch because it's a small space. I will be coming back to try the rest of their options and pick up some desserts and check out their groceries!
