Pandan Asian Cuisine delivers a truly satisfying dining experience that highlights the rich and authentic flavors of Filipino cuisine. The food is simply good—no gimmicks, just honest, flavorful dishes that feel like a taste of home. Every plate reflects the tradition and heart behind Filipino cooking, with standout flavors that leave a lasting impression.
Some must-try favorites include the pork sisig—perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of crunch—the crispy pata, which is tender on the inside and delightfully crispy on the outside, and the chopsuey, a colorful medley of vegetables cooked just right. For dessert, the toron and halo-halo are absolute treats that round out the meal beautifully.
Aside from their Filipino offerings, Pandan also serves Thai food, which we’re excited to try on our next visit. It’s great to see a place that offers variety without compromising authenticity.
Service here is another highlight. The staff are warm, approachable, and genuinely accommodating, making you feel at home the moment you walk in. The restaurant is also impeccably clean, showing the team’s attention to detail and care for their guests’ comfort.
In short, Pandan Asian Cuisine is a gem—whether you’re craving comfort food or planning to explore more of Southeast Asia’s flavors. Highly...
Read moreI truly support this restaurant and eat here once in a while for this is a place that I can really bring somebody and look at Filipino food differently. For me, this is the only decent Filipino restaurant in New Jersey that I know where you will not be embarrassed to bring like your boss! I can't really bring my boss to a Filipino Turo-Truo $7.50 combo and a can of soda. Right? :P It's ambiance and presentation of food is pretty nice. Also their customers here are diverse mix of non Filipinos. It is not only concentrated to Filipino patrons.They have two menus; One Filipino and the other are mixed Asian. Lots of Filipino's I know tends to dislike this place for it is quite expensive. Cheap Charlie's. Maybe $25 per head for a good meal, drinks, and desert. Overall this restaurant puts a little class to Filipino food versus the traditional $7.50 combo with soda.. all Turo-turo like east west, masagana, little quiapo, bread house, fiesta grill, blue ribbon, kabayan, casa manila, barangay union. None...
Read moreHad a nice dining experience at Pandan resto last night. The place is clean and has nice interior setting. The bright orange wall color sans picture frames gives the place a clean, quiet feel to it. I would suggest a couple more tall, green plants (live ones though). The serving staff is pleasant and helpful. Ate Rose who was the manager on duty that night was accommodating. The food was really delicious, we had crispy pata and shrimp with okra cooked in coconut milk. We wanted sans rival for dessert but they were out of it so we ordered pandan roll just to try. To our surprise, the dessert was a delightful treat! I usually push away cake icing for their headache-inducing sweetness but the icing of the roll was buttery with just right sweetness. This roll is a must try - truly. I highly recommend this place to Filipinos and their non-Filipino friends to try. Very nice dining experience overall. Keep up the good...
