Nice family owned Filipino restaurant in downtown Bergenfield. Lots of food choices. Tons of tables and seating. Lots of free parking nearby. TVs on the wall playing Filipino shows. Large space inside so you can hold big family events. Friendly employees. It's clean inside. A bit cold in here today but that's due to the cold weather outside. The ceiling tiles need to be replaced soon. Some of the chair cushions are a bit torn, but it didn't bother me. The tables are good.
Only partial negative is that some of the food is old/cold which is actually very common for this style of banquet food where you make it fresh in the morning and just keep it heated all day long as opposed to other style restaurants who make the food fresh to order. The benefit of banquet style is no wait time. Just order and your food is ready. The negative is that yes, it will be sitting out all day and just heated. So if that bothers you, then arrive near the opening hour so you get your food...
Read moreWent there with my family. We each ordered a combo which came with white rice, two sides and a drink. Each sides were put in little cups, which were very small for the price. It look like there were more sauce and bone than meat in the cups. The meat, especially the chicken dish, adobo and fried chicken, were all dark meat and fatty, which was disappointing. Also since I paid via credit card, I was charged an extra 3%, so beware. As we began eating, one of my family member found hair in their food...not a good start. There are no vinegar or filipino sauces around. Overall the food was okay. Place needs a good cleaning. But one thing I have learned is that a clean bathroom means a clean kitchen and cooking..So when I went into their bathroom, let me just say it look like these people still lived and serving in the baryo of the Philippines. Not going back there again, other and better...
Read moreA typical Filipino restaurant wherein you point (turo-turo) what viand you want. Compared to other Filipino turo-turo restaurants they have a wider selection, and we are RARELY disappointed with their authentic tastes and deliciousness.
We frequently order catering size viands from casa Manila whenever we have family celebrations. Our favorites are the roast beef with mushroom sauce, pork sisig, pork asado, and Filipino-style spaghetti. All consistent in quality and very delectable.
Staff is friendly but they have one bespectacled lady staff member who tend to jack up the price of one or more of our catering orders when we come to pick up. When you order, make sure you write who took your order on the phone and the agreed price. Otherwise the rest of the staff are very trustworthy.
I would recommend Casa Manila as a place to order viands and...
