Villa Manila

Went here for a birthday yesterday. The food was set up kamayan style for the occasion. Food was delicious. Service on point. I liked their innovative play on traditional cocktails with a Filipino twist. I had their Mestizalada and my cousin had the Calamansi Breeze.

Never have I ever eaten this way but I will gladly do it again. I think i may have just been took full to clean the table (with 3 other people) but I definitely wanted to. I got to try the Kamayan for the first time and i hope it won't be the last. We got there early and like two people were working. One cooking for sure and another setting up all the food. They did a great job. The big San Miguelito Michelangelo like drink was really good as well

The fix for the homesick. When I was in the Philippines, I would never order Pinakbet at a restaurant. That kind of dish is best made by a mother, lola or tita with decades of experience in balancing each component. The vegetables must squeak, the kalabasa must be firmly mushy to bring out its natural sweetness, the bittermelon must not be masked and the eggplant must be in its right form, all under a light broth that blends all the flavors and yet does not even overpower the humble white rice. The fact that this restaurant achieved this tells me of the skills of the chefs and the guidance that they learned from. And I feel that the message that they serve on the plate is pride in what their parents made for them along with their experiences of living in The Philippines. This is the sis

Our sister in law was visiting from out of town and was craving Filipino comfort food before heading back to Texas. We recommended, Villa Manila Restaurant, which did not disappoint. They had a great selection of food. We ordered the Meat lover Silog, Tapa and longanisa Silog, Bangus, eggplant torta, lechon lewali,and a chicken adobo bowl that came with garlic fried rice and a vegetable lumpia. Everthing was delicious,with good size portions. The service was great and our server was very attentive to our needs. We will definitely be back, to try more of their great selection.

We were referred to this Filipino restaurant, and we're totally satisfied with the good quality of the food and the excellent customer service provided when the 10 of us friends ate at this restaurant last 12/06/2025. A little bit pricey but the serving size and the quality of the food deserve such plus what is not pricey nowadays anyway! And the excellent service by Venice makes the experience worthwhile! I highly recommend this place! And this is my honest and unbiased review!
