Their food overall was pretty good. We had the meatlover kamayan feast for 6 people. The waiters was nice but what made me disappointed is that they dont tell you there's a service fee. Not too sure about the percentage but its about $40ish over if we calculated the total including tax and 15% tip. I wouldn't be as upset if they wrote it or mention it anywhere. Most restaurants will have it mention somewhere and its usually its only 18% gratuity but not in Casa Manila.Another thing that bothered me was the amount of food we got. Felt too little for the amount of food we got. Also keep note their drink prices on their site is different than in store, its not an accurate menu price about a $10...
There are a lot of places for Filipino food but this one is not a hole in the wall. Decor is interesting and unique with ample seating. The service during lunch seemed like it was the owner and his wife. Menu was diverse so thank goodness we had a pro with us. We ordered the traditional meal with shrimp, beef, pork and chicken skin served with garlic rice on a banana leaf. It took 30mins to prep and once they brought out the large tray they accompanied the delivery with some drums...so cool.The pork was tasty and so was the chicken skin. I loved the garlic rice but the rest was bland. I was expecting more flavour and spice but it was one note. Go there for Kamayan feast because it is a great...
The atmosphere was lovely and authentic, I think. It is not a big restaurant. We ordered Coconut garlic beef with eggplant. It was ok, i did not expect the beef to be stewed, so it was dry. And we had deep fried squid. That was very good. We did want the spread on the leaf for $38.99 each, but they said we have to order minimum of two. So that was disappointing as there were just two of us, could not eat 6 people worth of food. Maybe next time. I would go back again.
Last weekend I participated in an event at this restaurant without knowing Filipino food and the experience definitely transformed me into a fan of Filipino food, everything was delicious! Plus, the service was efficient and they made me feel very welcome! I recommend the experience and I will definitely return!

Excellent VEGAN/VEGETARIAN options the only Filipino restaurant that highlights some very good PLANT BASED options. Great service and atmosphere you can almost feel the warmth of the Philippines, especially with the tasteful (but not in your face) decorations. Truly a home cooked feel and experience!
$7 for a small bowl of rice, srsly?! It’s totally overpriced. I don’t mind paying a lot if the food was actually good. I ordered pork sisig and it didn’t taste fresh at all. By the texture, it seems like it has been reheated multiple times. The atmosphere wasn’t relaxing at all. I’m never going back.
Food was delicious! Must return to try more of the menu. Love the atmosphere and wish the weather was warmer to experience the patio as well. Staff were key in making it a great evening. Great place to meet friend and celebrate family birthdays.
Must-try Filipino dishes are chicken adobo, crispy pork belly and halo halo dessert. Servers are so friendly and nice, even showed us how to eat halo halo the right way.

Love their variety of Filipino cuisine. The sisig fries are worth the hype. Their kare kare is great too!
