Tselogs — Restaurant in Daly City

I was working in the area and I did a Google search for restaurants and this one popped up near me. I saw they had lechon kare kare and I had to try it!

I'm so glad I did. I came here for lunch on a Wednesday. The weather was nice and cold so this Filipino soul food would warm my heart.

I ordered the lechon Kare Kare and garlic rice. I ordered the garlic rice in its own container so that I can eat eat it over rice. They really need to serve over rice plates other than silogs.

Oh my God this is the best Filipino food I've had. I have worked in Filipino restaurants and I have eaten Filipino food my entire life.

Let's start out with the basics. The vegetables were not overcooked or mushy. Perfect. The eggplant was nice and soft as it should be. The bok choy was still crisp and not mushy. The green beans were cooked perfectly and that they were not overly crispy or not Mushy.

The lechon!!! don't get me started! It Was so damn good! Usually lechon is not cooked long enough and the fat is not rendered and you get a hard piece of pork with a hard piece of skin.

Not here!

It was cooked perfectly in that the fat was rendered and when you bite into it it melts in your mouth followed up with the crispy crunch of the crunchy skin!

And that was for every bite!

The sauce was so damn good over rice.

I need to order some more rice next time. Order two servings of rice!

This was the only thing I tried since it was just myself. But damn I want to come back and try everything else! Please try this place and keep them in business

I did read the reviews that it is expensive but I have been eating out recently and the quality of the food has gone way down. Here at least the food is great based on what I had today. Everything is damn expensive now so if you don't want to pay cook...

Pleasantly surprised. I've heard of Tselogs before, but never had the chance to go until today. We initially drove to Gateway Kitchen (Google said they were open. Got there and saw they had a sign saying they're closed for the day), then we drove to Superstar (Same as Gateway, closed for the day). Was there something going on in the Filipino community? I had no idea. But we didn't give up. We considered Turo, but since I've never tried Tselogs, we went there instead. Parking was a bit difficult to find. We found a spot on a side street. We entered the restaurant and waited to be seated. There were 7 or 8 tables, half of which were occupied. The lone server was busy with another group of customers. After awkwardly standing by the entrance for a couple of minutes, we were told that we were welcome to pick our own table and take our seats. We were given menus and were told to order and pay at the counter. We ordered Tocilog, sisig fries, lechon kare kare, and a slice of buko pie and waited about 15 to 20 minutes before food was served. The server and the cooks sounded Filipino, so I wasn't surprised that the food tasted delicious. What started out as a budget breakfast ended up being a proper brunch (complete with a price to match). We spent about $60 before tax and tip, but we did take quite a bit of it home. Also have to mention their interiors. Love the bar and the filipino touches. The restroom was clean, too. Didn't see a cocktail menu, so I do want to come back to see what they offer....

Food is very good and their Ube pie is delicious!

Negative - service is bad, not sure if we just happen to come in at a bad time but the cashier girl was not attentive. When she collected our plates, she inadvertently took the fork I was obviously still using but promised to get another one for me. Never came back to do so. She also seem to rush us to leave, despite the restaurant not closing for another hour. Also, when she asked if there was anything else we wanted (additional pie specifically), I asked for an extra order of their longanisa to go. She did say she would ring me up at the front, but I didn’t realize she was going to completely forget or neglect to put in my order.

Yes, you do have to order at the front, but then why bother to ask us if we needed anything else then completely forget to place our order? I think we just didn’t vibe and that’s ok, but I do have to take away one star for the bad service because I really did want an extra order to go. But still would recommend to eat it here and definitely willing to give...
