Ej Bistro Manila — Restaurant in Hopewell

Positive first experience at Hopewell’s new Filipino restaurant!

Food: delicious, flavorful, authentic. We enjoyed classic pancit, lumpia, and two types of lechon (kawali, sisig). Everything was fresh and hot.

Tip: for the combos, it’s rice or pancit so make sure you specify which one (board listed entree + rice + pancit). Not a big deal and they made it right, so this tip is just to prevent confusion.

Service: friendly. Everyone was helpful with good, hard-working attitudes.

Tip: you order first at the counter and then pick your own seat.

They have filtered water in addition to boba.

We highly recommend them for quality food! We’re happy to see how they’ve expanded from a store and food truck to an actual restaurant....

My parents and I went here today and the food was great! Everything tasted delicious and freshly cooked. We were familiar with the store but didn't know they had just opened the bistro next door. I'm so glad they did because I can get Filipino food and desserts so close to my house! The menu varies weekly and there were a bunch of desserts looks like freshly made in their kitchen as well. The people working there were friendly as well and the restaurant itself is charming with its authentic Filipino decor and plates and bowls that our food came in. The prices are decent especially with the amount of food they offer. Another plus is that they serve boba and halo halo! We will definitely be...

Found out about this spot and had to go give them a try. I ordered the Lumpia and Pancit and both were really good. Everything was hot and fresh including the sauce that came with the lumpia. I didn't get her name but the woman behind the counter was super nice and I definitely would go back just for her. They have an area toward the back to buy some other snacks and cooking items as well. Great food, great service, and a convenient location. I'm not familiar with the other items they sell but I'll be back...
