Manila Turo Turo

An online search for good Filipino food in the East Bay led me to this restaurant. A friend and I have eaten there several times. It’s a casual, cafeteria-style business with a small but cozy dining area. Irene was very welcoming and was happy to describe some of the dishes. Her customer service is exceptional! We enjoyed everything we ordered….the Longsilog with garlic rice, eggs & tomato, the Sinigang with pork, Kare-kare (loved the tender oxtail and tripe in peanut sauce), Pinakbet (like the way mom made it!), the Kaldareta, and calamansi juice. For dessert we had the fried Turon which was sweet and crispy. Their homestyle dishes are all fresh and delicious. We found a “happy place” for Filipino cuisine where we will go from now on. We highly recommend Manila Turo-Turo. You won’t be disappointed!

Top notch service even on busy days (it was the day before Christmas) , wherein I only ordered 2 servings of lumpia and of pansit guisado for 3 people. Irene accommodated my order and my request to pick up after hours. She even gave a tip on how to reheat the lumpia. I could not be more pleased! The pansit was very tasty, with generous ingredients plus toppings of lechon kawali that no one in the bay area offers! My husband, who is very particular with pansit, enjoyed the dish even the next day after reheating (male sure to reheat by steaming). It was delicious as the first serving. Would be coming back to try their broasted chicken and other dishes. Definitely recommend!

Absolutely loved our experience at Manila Turo Turo! The food was amazing, with authentic Filipino flavors that brought us back to our childhood. We drove all the way from Walnut Creek, and it was definitely worth the trip. Irene was incredibly kind and made our visit even more special with her warm hospitality. It's the best Filipino restaurant in the Bay Area. Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking to enjoy delicious Filipino cuisine!

This restaurant has CRISPY SISIG! Since I moved to the Bay Area, it’s been hard to find this kind of sisig. I just happen to not like the sizzling kind.✌️ I like being able to crunch on the onions. The seasoning is spot-on also. The ladies in Manila Turo-Turo are so nice and accommodating. Love their service. I’ll be coming back for more❣️

Had a very delicious and authentic Flipino breakfast at Manila Turo Turo. The owner is a lovely and kind person. Will definitely be back!

A tiny little place with incredibly nice ownership and management, and fantastic Filipino food. The prices are great, and the food quality is amazing. The portions are really big also. When dining in, Nancy would bring little samples of food for my wife and I to try. We'll be regulars for sure! Thank you!

UPDATE: Had the tosilog again and it was very good like last time so it's good to know they cook consistently. Very impressed with how well they cook the sunnyside-up eggs. Love to pop the eggs over my garlic rice. So it seems the silogs don't come with a dipping vinegar sauce. I asked for one and they gave it to me for free. Talked to the staff and they're super nice. Will come back to try the other items here. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Tosilog was solid. Tocino wasn't overly fatty or lean, and not greasy. Love how they give you two nicely cooked sunnyside eggs. What I didn't like is they forgot to pack the vinegar dipping sauce. Good to check for next time. Will come back again.

Was driving through the area and found a bunch of Filipino restaurants and landed here. So glad we did! This is the home made delicious taste you're looking for. If you're not familiar with the cuisine, just let them know and they'll walk you through it. We tried 4 out of the 7 items available and every single one was delicious and tender.

This is my go-to spot for a casual, affordable meal in Fremont. I've tried many Filipino restaurants in the Bay Area, but this one stands out for its consistently delicious food and friendly staff. Whenever I'm in town, I make it a point to stop here.

Delicious authentic Filipino cooking. Big surprise to me to know that the friendly, beautiful staff and owners are actually my old friends. With the mask on, it’s really hard to recognize faces. I loved everything that I bought from there and the espasol dessert is one of the best I’ve had. If you are craving for Filipino foods, this is the best place to be. You’ll be greeted with the friendliest smile so you’ll feel very much at home.

Their lechon kawali is good, crunchy even the next day. Their mechado and menudo is delicious too. My bf likes their adobo and I liked their ginisang munggo. I highly recommend them. The owners are so nice too.

I visited this place two years ago and have come back several times this week, and they have never disappointed me! Coming from San Diego, where there are many Filipino restaurants, I can honestly say this one is the best. The flavors of their dishes remind me of home, especially the dinuguan.

Definitely one of the best Filipino food in the bay area if not the best! I highly recommend!

Visited today for 1st time. Was told for bigger selection of freshly made entrees, best to stop by before lunch. I had the adobo, and it is good. The owner, Irene, is very friendly and accommodating. I would come back 👍

It’s a hole in a wall. I ordered the adobo pusit, bansilog, sinigang broth and tocilog on two different occasions. None took away my breath. They were mediocre. The same as the surrounding Filipino restaurants. However, the owners’ friendliness and genuineness were apparent. Both sisters on two separate occasions, stopped at my table and engaged in a warm conversation, making me feel like a beloved family. I felt like I was being served at Nobu. I asked if they had coffee and she said she can make me one, which was not part of the menu, plus it was’t included on the final check. The black pipping hot coffee was in a paper dixie cup, but tasted better than coffee in Brazil. This personalized and attentive service ensured a positive experience, despite the food. Overall, this hole in the wall offers a welcoming atmosphere and friendly owners. The food might not be the primary draw, but it’s a great choice if seeking a comfortable spot with excellent customer interactaction.
