Russ Fam Kitchen

Filipino food located within a gas station at the on in Daly City. They have a wide variety of items and especially the popular ilocos empanadas that are pretty hard to find nowadays. Ilocos empanadas are like a deep fried Filipino taco filled with sausage/longanisa, hard boiled egg, cabbage and other things and you pour or dip your empanada with vinegar. Best eaten fresh while it’s nice and crispy and deep fried. They’re about $7 a piece and they close at 7pm. I’d like to try more on their menu in the future.

I’m so happy I found this place! Their Filipino scramble instantly brought me back to my childhood — the days of after-school merienda, street vendors, and that unmistakable pink, icy sweetness. The flavor is authentic, the texture is perfect, and every sip genuinely feels nostalgic. The staff is friendly, the presentation is cute, and the portions are generous. If you grew up in the Philippines, this will make you smile. If you’ve never tried scramble before, this is the perfect place to experience it. Highly, highly recommended! A must-visit spot for anyone craving a taste of home

Not easy to find them as it is attached to the Gas station. Small place to accomodate more than 5 people. I hope they find a bigger place. About the food, their dinakdakan looks like a small serving but very filling and yummy. Isaw gave me a flashback of the philippines. It taste the same as what we have in the philippines. Their fish ball is also good but pricey. And my most fave is their Iskrambol...i loveeee their iskrambol , i remember my childhood eating it and taste exactly like the iskrambol u find in the street of the philippines...yummmy. we are 45 minutes drive from Russ, so I buy 3- 4 iskrambol everytime to save for later.

A hole in the wall that’s worth visiting. The scramble is reminiscent of what we have in the Philippines (but quite pricey for $9). I loved the cheese birria (also a bit expensive) as it had a generous amount of cheese and meat. The dipping sauce also complemented the birria very well. They have a very simple menu and we’ll probably go back once in a while for certain items that can only be found here.

They accidentally gave my food to someone else, so I had to wait 55 minutes for Birria tacos and Empanadas. The Birria tacos wasn’t hot, barely warm. The Empanadas was full of cooking oil, like it was pulled right out of the oil and into the bag.
