“ Last Saturday, I was looking for a place to eat some good classic Filipino food, which lead me to this place. I loved the place and the food was top notch, but the real standout to me was the excellent and inviting customer service. They created a great atmosphere and were super nice, explaining food recommendations with great detail. When dining at Fil Cuisine, the combination of a great warm cooked meal and an inviting, accommodating staff made me feel like I was dining with the Fil cuisine family. ”
“ This Filipino restaurant in Lynnwood is a hidden gem with simple, unassuming decor that lets the food shine. The moment you step in, you're greeted by the tantalizing aroma of sizzling sisig and freshly grilled skewers. The menu is a greatest hits collection of Filipino classics. The halo-halo is a dessert so delightful it could make you cry. This colorful concoction of shaved ice, sweet beans, jellies, and fruits, topped with a scoop of ube ice cream, is a medley of textures and flavors. The sisig is a sizzling sensation, bursting with flavor and perfect for sharing - or not. In short, this unassuming spot in Lynnwood is serving up food that's truly something to write home about. So, grab a fork and dive in - your taste buds will thank you! ”
“ My Filipino friend introduced me to this spot, and it did not disappoint! The Lechon Kawali is hands down the best I've ever had--perfectly crunchy, even after taking some home. It's quite fatty, so I can see how it might not be for everyone, but I personally loved it. The eggplant omelette was also a standout, and the Halo-Halo hit the spot. The Pancit, however, was a bit of a letdown. It was too watery and lacked flavor. Despite that, the overall experience was great. Service was friendly and attentive, and the food had a comforting, homey vibe. I'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu! ”
“ After last week's disastrous meal at Otium/Salo Salo (Filipino pop-up), I searched and found Fil Cuisine in Lynnwood (and Kent). The reviews mentioned accolades of their food with 'meh', if not outright bad, service. With that in mind, we purposely went early, 5pm, to avoid crowds. The place had several seated tables and a steady flow of take-outs. We were met with warm auntie/tita family-friendly service. They are full-service order from the table restaurant; you order from the counter for take-out and the packaged foods. We ordered a huge spread for two people, literally everything we liked in the menu, re-creating the comfort foods fest that hubby's parents regularly made during their Filipino parties. Every dish felt like a taste of home. The restaurant is quite large with simple décor. The food arrives as they are made, so don't expect everything delivered at the same time. Parking is plentiful in the same lot area as Hmart and the movie theater. The Food: Lechon Kawali, $18.95 - 4 Stars Menu: Roasted then deep-fried pork belly If you like crispy, crunchy skin, you're in for a treat. This is blistered to perfection. The catch is that it is pork belly, and it is oozing fat with little meat. Best as a sharing dish. Kare Kare, $20.95 - 5 Stars Menu: Beef oxtail & shank cooked in peanut sauce with eggplant and long beans Don't tell my in-laws, but I like the version in Fil Cuisine better with a thicker sauce and veggies that are not over-cooked. FC cooks their oxtail in the sauce, then separately adds the veggies to prevent the veggies from turning into mush in the sauce. Pansit Bihon with shrimp, $18.95 - 5 Stars Menu: Stir-fried cornstarch noodles with veggies: celery, carrots, and cabbage, with protein choice The thin noodle is the version that I like the most. To keep the noodles from sticking together, there's a touch of extra sauce. I added peppers for a kick. The ratio of noodles, veggies, and shrimps are excellent! Pansit Canton with chicken, $18.95 - 4.5 Stars Menu: Stir-fried wheat flour noodles with veggies: celery, carrots, and cabbage, with protein choice This is hubby's preferred version. He liked his, but I thought the noodles are slightly overcooked. Again, the ratio of noodles, veggies, and shrimps are excellent! Lumpia, veggie, $6 - 4 Stars While the meat (pork or beef) version is the traditional lumpia (short and skinny), I prefer the veggie version for a bigger bit. Their fillings are somewhat mushy and undefined, but the flavor is very good. Tortang Talong, $9.50 - 4 Stars Menu: Roasted & fried eggplant omelet This dish is mega comfort food. It's simple and very delicious. Their more common choice is to eat with the ground pork option, but I don't like ground meat texture. I generally prefer this dish to end with high heat as the last step to add some toastiness on both sides. Coach's Chicken, $12.50 - 4.5 Stars Menu: slow roasted and grilled chicken, with a light bbq sauce While Fil Cusinie also offers boneless chicken on skewers, I much prefer bone-in chicken. Theirs is simple, savory, and slightly sweet from the sauce (I didn't use much of it). It is delicious. Leche Flan, $12.50 - 5 Stars My hubby's favorite dessert that his mom made, the Fil Cuisine version is just right with the expected level of sweetness. Bravo! ”
“ Wanted to bring my parents to a Filipino restaurant on the north end.. and we were not disappointed. Plenty of seating right at opening. We all ordered brunch meals and it's pretty affordable for all the food they give. Plenty of rice & meat! It was easy to flag down a server but wish they were more friendly and welcoming. I did take a star off due to service.. overall can't wait to come back to try other dishes. Also they make their own pandesal and one of the best I've ever tasted! ”
“ I heard there was a Fil Cuisine location up north in Lynnwood, which doesn't really help me because I don't live close to Lynnwood (nor do I live close to the OG location in Kent), but while I was up here for an event, we had to check out what is the best Filipino food in the Seattle area. Seriously, the best. We visited Fil Cuisine on a Sunday around dinner time and the place was busy, but not crowded. Unlike it's original location in Kent, the Lynnwood restaurant is more spacious and bright with one center room and a large counter. Plenty of parking, too, since it's in the same lot as H-Mart. For the three of us on a Sunday night, we easily were able to get a table. However, we had no luck in getting cassava cake or any of the desserts that are usually in the case as this kind of stuff sells out by mid-day at the latest. So, yeah, no cassava cake. BUT, the rest of the food was delicious. It tasted just like what's cookin' at the Kent location. We ordered the pork adobo, pancit canton with shrimp, bicol express and sisig. I was surprised that they still had the sisig available with how late we arrived, but we lucked out. Food didn't take long to get and everything was absolutely delicious. Pork adobo was flavorful with the tender pork belly. The pancit with shrimp had lots of lemon-y flavor, which is how I like my pancit, and the sisig with the fried egg was solid. But my favorite, the bicol express was perfect. I love the coconut flavor with some heat on this dish. Rice is provided and refills are complimentary. I've said it about Kent and I'll say it here - Fil Cuisine reminds me of mom's cooking. At least, it's damn close to it. Even when I walk in, I smell the rice and I and just know that I'm at home away from home. Best Filipino food in the Seattle area! ”
