Manila Sunset Grille: Experience Authentic Filipino Flavors in National City

Store was 20min to closing time, we were left with limited choices nothing from the grill. We got pancit malabon, bibingka and arroz caldo. We haven't had this type of noodles in awhile so it was nostalgic. Bibingka was really good, makes you feel that Christmas season is getting closer. This pairs well coffee or hot cocoa.

We’ve been coming here to eat breakfast and sometimes lunch. This time we ordered for take out. It was not busy. We bought 5 bibingka. I tried bibingka in other bakeries but this one is by far the best, moist and delicious.

Went here for the first time today and it was so good. First thing that struck me was how low the prices are. There main plates are a little less than $10 and you get a solid portion of food. My girlfriend used to frequent their other location all the time but that one closed down so she was happy this one is still open. You could dine in but there isn't a lot of space, so it's the perfect place to get some quick to go food. Everything tasted delicious and the service was quick. My photo is after eating a bit more than half my plate and there's still so much. I was stuffed at the end.

This is a legit Filipino food joint, with savory entrees (got to have them with rice) to sweet desserts, they have it. Can't really go wrong with anything unless you're really picky. We usually go here to pick up snacks that are too tedious to make at home like puto, bibingka etc.

We were about to go get Chinese food, but landed here at Manila Sunset. I haven't come here for many years...perhaps a decade because the last time I came, I was disappointed.... but everyone deserves a 2nd chance (and more, right?). Anyways, the BBQ pork was so amazing. The Pancit Malabon, perfect taste. The Arroz Caldo, yummmmy. Such nostalgic comfort food. Sinigang. Babingka a la mode (so moist). Wow. The taste was so delicious. There is a sign that suggests that there is a shortage of coconut. So yes, don't expect a lot of it. Remember the labor shortage? He asked for 15 or so minutes. It came back quicker than that. I'm happy. Hope u give them a visit.

Hmmm… very mixed reviews about this place. I came to this place for the first time in a while, probably in over a year, just last Thursday. I’m actually sitting inside right now waiting for my order as I type this. Today will be my 3rd time here in the past 6 days. The food here is so simple, very affordable, and very good! I don’t know why I haven’t returned here sooner. Rice, meat, and a bowl of soup is all I need to be happy. Simple life. I got the the Manila Pork BBQ (which has become my favorite). You get a good portion for only $10.39. In this day and age, that is very affordable in my opinion. I also got a side of the Goto soup, which you also get a decent portion and this was only $4.99, again very affordable for the amount you get. You also get a free side of complimentary sinagang soup. All can be seen in my pictures. Only negative review I have is, yes if you get caught here when a bunch of people show up at the same time, your order can take some time to receive. Even still, Overall 5 ⭐

Look here! One of the go-to Filipino spots in National City. I’ve been coming to this mom & pop shop since I was a kid. This is the place for some delicious freshly made filipino food. It is a small restaurant, but it’s a good place to grab to go or there’s seats to enjoy your meal. Their food can be found at your Filipino parties! What do I recommend here?? Bibingka- (as per google: traditional Filipino baked rice cake, known for its soft, spongy texture and slightly sweet, coconut flavor) That is what they’re known for! Second best? The bbq. Chicken or pork. They have a mini window so you can see them grill. My usual? Pork inihaw Lechon kawali Palabok.

great tasting food, though were out of some items on the menu, great prices and service, place was also clean. i just wish they came back to Mira Mesa!!
