FILIPINA CUISINE coming soon to Morehead City! 4119 F Arrendell Street. Morehead City NC

First time ordering from here and it was so good. Haven’t had good lumpia in a while and was impressed. Boba was 🤌🏽 chefs kiss

⭐️⭐️ (2 Stars) I really wanted to like this place, especially as someone who appreciates Filipino food. But honestly, I left disappointed. We ordered two servings of lumpia for $27, and they were very greasy and not crunchy at all. Lumpia should have that light, crispy bite — these were soft and oily. It just didn’t taste fresh, and it definitely wasn’t worth the price. We also ordered two 16-ounce boba teas for $25. That felt very expensive for what we received, especially for a small-town restaurant in Havelock/Morehead City. I don’t mind paying good money for good food, but the quality simply didn’t match the cost. I hope they improve, because the community could really use a great Filipino spot — but this visit missed the mark for me.

Thank you for preparing my order. I wanted to share some feedback about my experience. The pancit doesn't look fresh, noodles were quite watery mushy and cut very short, which changed the texture more than I expected. The vegetables also seemed overcooked. I ordered vegetable lumpia hoping for a crunchy vegetable filling, but the inside felt more like finely chopped or pureed vegetables similar to making beef eggroll filling.

I would give negative stars if I could. Lumpia was really greasy and lacking in flavor. The boba would have been good but it had large chunks of ice and had no tapioca. I paid for a 32 ounce and only got a 12 ounce. I also had to wait over a half hour to receive my order. I will not be returning nor will I recommend them to anyone.

Coffee boba was great. Lumpias were great. Food was good (adobo chicken, pancit, and rice).
