Tropical Hut Filipino Cuisine — Restaurant in Maywood

Masarap! Masarap means delicious! And every thing here is masarap!! Authentic Filipino food in Jersey!

Location: It is located in Maywood in NJ. The store is typical Filipino store which has display of all the food and you just (turo turo) point point all the food you want to order.

Service: they are very nice, I order here multiple times and still have the great Filipino hospitality.

Food: Everything was so delicious and good! You might order everything! My favorites are PORK or CHICKEN BARBECUE: omg this was the best! So delicious and smoky! They have good amount of meat on the stick! Very juicy inside! LECHON BELLY with PAELLA: you have to order in advance cause you can’t get this when you go in the store, the lechon is so crispy and tender inside. The paella was so good and a lot of seafood! EMBUTIDO: the embutido is good but you have to fry it first before you eat, it is way better that way. BILO BILO: omg my favorite Filipino snack, it is so creamy and a lot of glutinous rice! The sweet potato are very sweet too! BAKED BANGUS: boneless bangus with mayo and baked to goodness! So yummy we order usually 3 of this! PANSIT: the noodles was perfectly cooked and veggies are fresh. KUTSINTA: omg this is my favorite! Rice cake with coconut strings! So good. BUKO PANDAN: this is legit taste of buko pandan, sorry I don’t have a picture but this is a must!

Price rating: 6/10, very cheap! the price matches all the deliciousness! Not bad for all the goodness.

Well I have been here multiple times even though I live in NYC. We go here just to have their delicious food! Perfect for...

What an amazing restaurant/shopping.

I always love to get Filipino food, especially coming from Tropical Hut. I walked inside and basically like a tiny supermarket with food, wow, it made me feel happy. I got my food and I have to say, this is a place worth coming back to after what I ate! The flavoring of how everything tasted was spectacular.

Service was good! Staff are very friendly and are working real hard to keep the food fresh and customer satisfaction to be positive, however, it is a bit complex for the staff to understand what you want to order as they might tend to get confused, but that is no issue.

Atmosphere was good as well! The sitting area is so cute. Very tiny area with quite literally 4 tables. Music in the background was definitely very fitting and gotta say, bathroom was solid clean, something to always make sure about restaurants

Overall, this restaurant was a solid 8/10. This is a place I would come back to for some more food again as it is clean and has some real good food, I wouldn’t have it as like a dinner, but maybe would have it as like a quick lunch to have and go but otherwise, I would definitely order...

I really wanted to like this place but the food didn't really do it for me. We stopped in on a Sunday at around 1. For $9.49, you can choose noodles or rice, and two dishes. You can only choose from the stewed items and none of the other things (i.e. lechon, fish, bbq items are all sold separately). I went with the pancit, which was very meh and salty, and soggy. It seemed to have been leftover. I had it with chicken adobo and some pork dish but both tasted very similar. Like the pancit, it was super salty. My husband chose garlic rice, which I didn't know was an option. Had I known, I would have picked that, because that was good. I mean you can't go wrong with garlic rice. He had beef, which was really dry. We also ordered a side of lumpia, which was cold and chewy.

Still looking for a go-to Filipino spot in North Jersey because this one wasn't it.

Tip - there’s a parking lot...
