Customer Reviews
Plain and Simpol is a very good Filipino restaurant. It's now my families favorite. I am going to be completely unbiased with this review in hopes the restaurant may improve certain things. First off the place is a definition of a hole in the wall or a hidden gem. The parking lot is small and the place fills up quick with not much room to sit. That being said their Pork BBQ and their chicken inasal are standouts and are my families favorite. My son loves their Ube boba and I personally love their Turon w/langka. My wife is in love with their ube cookie! We are actually going to come back this weekend. The only dishes I am not fond of are the calderata and adobo. We had ordered the platter and both were very dry. On a positive note I can say the flavor was there and the Chicken Inasal was a
Filipino restaurant. Very small but nice. Food is good. I like that the have salad.
I have to start off by saying this was a very pleasant experience all around. The food was not only ready upon my arrival, but I saw that the pork spring rolls were JUST fresh out of the fryer. So I guess I'll start with the pork rolls, they had a nice little kick; I don't know if that was from the pork roll itself or the sauce that accompanied it. However there also a nice sweetness to the sauce. And the crispy pork itself was extremely succulent, tender, juicy, flavorful and just an all-around good time!!! The juices from the pork luckily dripped down onto the sticky rice. Talk about a wonderful surprise! The egg that they gave me also had some type of sauce on it and that was a nice touch, if I may say so as well. They give you some type of slaw, I really wouldn't know how to describe i
This place is a hidden GEM. I drove past so many times and then finally a work friend brought me to try it out and it’s now on the normal rotation in our house. Our favorites are the crispy pork sisig, teriyaki chicken (pictured) pork and beef lumpia and the ube cheesecake (if you’ve never had this before GET IT….its such a delicious treat). The workers are always friendly and the food is always hot and fresh.
This spot is quickly becoming one of my weekly go-to's. I have ordered from them three times and each time has been yum. My favorite dish is their chicken teriyaki, it's different than other restaurants, not too sweet with a nice char on the chicken. They also serve it on a bed of rice, with Cesar salad and a fried egg on the side. Both pictures are of the teriyaki chicken, one was eaten in house, one was take away. I'm looking forward to trying more of the dishes on the menu, I'm sure they'll also be good.
