Cirilo Noodle Bar & Grill in Tower Hamlets

My husband and I were impressed with the presentation of the food specially the kinilaw sea bass . We enjoyed the kare kare and paksiw lechon. Portions are just right for single serving . The food was sumptuous and I like the way they’ve added mushrooms to their kare kare without altering the Filipino taste. Price range is reasonable for the quality and service you get . Will go back again when I’m Back in London .

Amazing homemade food. Small and quite place, where you can freely speak. A rarity in London! Also very good service!

Way overpriced for the area ! Expect to pay like it was Covent Garden or Leicester Square. The place is tiny, more like a takeaway. No ambience - poor decor, no Filipino vibe, music or even staff. Food taste, quality, selection of dishes = 4/5 Portions = 3/5 (left hungry despite paying almost 34 pounds for 2 simple main course and water) Pricing = 1/5 (was forced to pay almost 4 pounds service tax and the waiter wasn't even Filipino - appalling) Restaurant decor / ambience = 1/5 Sadly, the only smart way to eat out in London post covid and not feel being ripped off is a buffet. The owner should not comment, unless ready to reimburse me that 4 pounds.

Best meal we’ve had since we arrived in London. Very fresh ingredients, well prepared, beautiful presentation. Thank you!!

We shared 3 started and main courses with some rice. Loved the mussels (Tahong) and Pinakbet (vegetables in a lovely sauce). The Sea bass starter was also delicious.I love the way so many flavours and smells come together!

Amazing food and prices Great tofu and vegetarian food as well as meat and fish options All good was tasty and service was great A wonderful place

A must do in London! This is an amazing restaurant. My husband and I went and were blown away by our meals. The food is incredible, the staff are friendly and it has a great ambiance. I will be recommending this place to all my frineds and family!

Amazing fresh and tasty food ..service was so friendly and polite ..i do suggest to try the mussels absolutely fantastic 🔝🔝🔝🔝 thanks for the lovely evening

I first reviewed this restaurant in 2016... I came back and the same friendly smiles greeted me. The food is lovely and tasty. Menu has improved a lot. Nice portions and never left hungry. Support a local business. These people really take pride in their service and food. Great for a pre-theatre dinner (Wilton's just down the road) or even come out of your way - it will be worth it !

I must have been here six times and after six consecutive five star meals it seems right to provide a review. Filipino food was new to me but the first time I tried it I was instantly taken with the lightness of the flavours even when they were bold. It’s a hell of a trick ! In addition, there are always so many subtle layers of flavour and texture dancing on my tongue. On my last visit there was an English gentleman on the next table who is married to a Filipino lady. He was so effusive about the Tahong and the calamari that he bought some for us to try. He was right to be effusive. The mussels were perfect and the creamy, zesty sauce was incredible. The belly of pork is the best I’ve ever had. The chicken adobo is hearty. The aubergine in the Pinkabet was so good I can’t even describe it. We were introduced to the chef and after the round of applause we gave him, he was at pains to tell us that EVERYTHING is prepared and cooked by him and his sous chef daily. Let me add that this review is being written in February 2022 and there are only three main courses that cost more than £10 and one of those is half of a duck! Service is attentive and friendly but you probably already guessed that. If your taste buds need a party, take a trip to Wapping. And if you are going to Wilton’s (the world’s oldest surviving music hall) for a show you’d be a fool to eat anywhere else. Trust me.

Super sulit!!! Super yummy. Highly recommended. We are sooo happy to have an experience like this. Ate Juliet, the owner is soooo accommodating and friend!y.

This is a gem of a restaurant - go there! On-menu food and specials both offer absolute culinary delights. My seabass special was a sumptuously large fish, delicately flavoured and succulently cooked, delicious, satisfying and light. My husband and his friend both revelled in their own order: a superbly cooked generously proportioned steak as a special, and on-menu crispy pork belly - and then promised they would return for the other's dish, having tasted it! A variety of tasty starters, abundant fresh vegetables to go around with the mains, and a short, very well-chosen wine list all additionally conspire to make eating here a sheer unadulterated pleasure. Service is extremely friendly, very knowledgeable and attentive. Covid protection measures were handled well and courteously, and ordering is from an online menu easily accessible by a QRcode.

My friends and I were on a coach trip holiday to London and decided to book a table for 6 on the 29th of October 2021 at the Cirilo Filipino Kainan. Everyone’s been craving for Filipino food so it was a treat to have dinner at a Filipino restaurant. Expectations were high but most of the food we ordered didn't deliver as to its authenticity. It was more of a fusion, not fully Filipino. All of the food were swamped with big pieces of vegetables especially the pancit bihon. The Kare-kare was tasty but the Lechon Paksiw was like fried pork with gravy on top, not tender at all. Here comes the bill which amounted to £187. Upon scrutiny we found out that an “Optional Service Charge” of £17 or 10% was added to our bill of £170. Given the disappointing quality and authenticity of food, we were very reluctant to pay this extra charge. Nowhere in the menu was the service charge mentioned. However, despite leaving a tip of £10, the owner refused to let us leave without paying the extra £17 and justified this by saying that we were a big party of 6. Apparently, the optional service charge doesn't apply to a booking of 5 or less in her view.

the food was light and tasty and incredibly good value. A great little restaurant which I would recommend.

After a visit to Tower of London, a classmate said a filipino restaurant is nearby. About 800 meters away from Tower of London is this little restaurant. Craving for pork sisig, so that's what i ordered. Lovely meal and kind hosts.

Excellent food. One of the best crispy duck pancakes I have ever had. Shame they had run out of Philippino beer. Staff very friendly. Would come back again.

My wife and I found this hidden gem on google on a 2 day trip to London in the Tower Hill area. The food is absolutely AMAZING, if you like Thai cuisine you will love this restaurant. Family run small business on a back street...

This is an excellent restaurant, well worth visiting. Excellent chef and very friendly waitress. The food is amazing. The banana turon was the nicest dessert I've ever tasted, with amazing flavours from the toasted nuts, brownie pieces as well as the delicious turon. Calamari was...

My wife and I stumbled over this Filipino restaurant tonight, and grabbed a quick snack to try. We grabbed Lumpias and Lechon Paksiw and let me tell you, we ran home to try it from the aromas alone. Still with our coats on, we were...

Visited with the family as Cirilo Restaurant had been suggested by both a colleague and a friend that come from the Philippines. We are Spanish and were curious to taste familiar names like adobo! It's very different from our Spanish food and it was full...

Nunca antes probé la comida filipina y ahora me arrepiento de esto. Reservé temprano ya que sabía que era un restaurante pequeño y nos recibió a nuestra llegada un amable personal que nos tomó la temperatura antes de que nos permitieran sentarnos. No teníamos idea de qué pedir, así que nos decidimos por la opción segura de tostadas de gambas, calamares, cangrejo y rollitos de primavera de gambas. La tostada de gambas literalmente se derritió en la boca y fue la mejor que he probado. Los calamares y los rollitos de primavera también parecían sabrosos, pero el calamar estaba un poco demasiado cocido y los rollitos de primavera me dieron la impresión de que estaban fuera de un paquete en lugar de recién hechos. Lo que hizo que esta comida fuera especial para mí es que a menudo encuentro en los restaurantes orientales que los platos principales no son tan buenos como los entrantes. Sin embargo, este no fue el caso y solo puedo describir los tres platos principales como alucinantes. Pedimos tres platos principales, mechado, un plato de carne, adobo, un plato de cerdo y un pollo salteado. El plato de Mechado consistió en rodajas de bife de lomo tierno con una salsa dulce hecha de limón, soja, jengibre, ajo, pimienta negra y especias orientales. La explosión de sabor golpeó tus papilas gustativas tan pronto como tomaste el primer bocado y quedé muy impresionado. Luego llegó el Adobo y esperaba que fuera similar probando el Mechado ya que las salsas parecían idénticas. El cerdo estaba cocido en una fina capa de masa y tenía un delicioso sabor a mantequilla. Entonces la salsa me voló la cabeza. Comenzando como un sabor dulce, el vinagre y la pimienta negra entran en acción y cambian por completo toda la dinámica del plato. Fácilmente una de las cosas más sabrosas que he comido. Después de eso, el pollo salteado con ajo y chiles frijoles se escondió en la nada. Todavía sabía muy bien, pero no en la misma liga que el Adobo. No había postres en el menú, pero al preguntar, nos dijeron que podía comer plátanos en un rollito de primavera o pastel de chocolate. Ambos estaban bien, pero no hay nada que destacar. Lo que me sorprendió de la comida en Cirilo Filipino Kainan es que aún conservas los excelentes sabores a pesar de que se le agregan pocas especias. Nada tenía mucho picante pero eso no importaba. También puedo recomendar el vino rosado español con los platos principales. Y luego llegó la factura y esperaba que fuera de tres cifras. Cuando vi que eran 85 por tres platos y una botella de vino, esa fue la guinda del pastel. Valor increíble y sabores increíbles.

I've never been to the Filipines so not sure what their food typically tastes like but if it's like this it only accelerates my wish to go. The service was excellent, all food very well priced. Prawn crackers to start were very nice - the...

Had a late night dinner in this tiny gem of a restaurant. Ordered the broccoli and ginger, which came out in a sizzling plate. Partner said it was the best vegetable he ever tasted (he doesn’t really like veg so that’s saying something). Had the...

From the service to food amazing experience very small place but makes u to enjoy the food which is so tasty and fresh and a service is top thank u very much ❤️

Probably the most refined Filipino restaurant I have eaten in with some very tasty traditional dishes mixed with a few ‘old favourite’ Chinese offerings. In particular the pork sisig was amazing and the Kare-kare very tasty. A little out of the way but worth the...

We found this brilliant noodle place a few years ago and often dine here when visiting Wiltons Music Hall. I almost don’t want to let the secret out in case we aren’t able to get in ourselves. The staff are so friendly, and even accommodated...

Been here hundreds of times, always found the food and service of excellent quality. Beautifully arranged dishes, big portions and ridiculously low prices. Kare Kare, Beef Mami and Mixed Singapore noodles are amongst favourites. If you get the chance for day chef’s specials - any...

We decided to try this place as Romulo’s was already closed. We ordered Kare-Kare, Pork Sisig, Chicken Sisig and Sizzling Gambas from their Filipino meñu plus steamed rice and juices. First off, the Kare-Kare did not taste like Kare-Kare at all and it was plated...

Work away regularly in London and this little gem is less than 5 mins away from the Premier Inn hotel that I stay at. Food is hot, spicy and incredibly well priced and service is always spot-on. Have yet to find something on the menu...

Having read the reviews I was looking forward to going to this restaurant - we go to Wiltons Music Hall a lot and this place is a few minutes away and always seems to have people eating there - and it’s inexpensive. The reviews on...

Visité para almorzar un fin de semana después de ir a Tobacco Dock, tuve que caminar 15 minutos bajo la lluvia para encontrar el restaurante, pero valió la pena.Nos recibió un servidor amable y el restaurante estaba bastante ocupado.La comida se presentó muy bien, sabía fresca y estaba llena de sabor.El restaurante tenía un precio razonable llegando a aproximadamente 9 para un plato principal.Me encantaría volver a visitar este restaurante para probar más de su comida.

The restaurant is located near Leman Street and not far from Tower Bridge. We shared mussels for starter. We had prawns and their specialty stir fry. We shared their one desert for the evening called Turron. Overall good food and nice experience. Staff were friendly and place was very clean. Good meal.

Pedí el chow mein de carne para llevar. Me sorprendió gratamente.La carne era de mayor calidad de lo que normalmente se obtiene en un chow mein: relativamente espesa, tierna y con un toque de rosa.Había una gran variedad de vegetales asiáticos, todos frescos, vibrantes y perfectamente cocinados. Estaban bien cocinados, pero todavía tenían una buena cantidad de mordiscos. De hecho, las verduras eran tan buenas que casi me engañaron al pensar que estaba comiendo algo saludable, pero el plato todavía tenía ese labio, un sabor más suave que es la esencia del chow mein.Muy recomendable, definitivamente volveré otra vez (e investigaré las especialidades del restaurante cuando lo haga).

Fuimos a almorzar antes de ir al cercano Music Hall de Wilton. Mientras decidíamos qué, nos dieron cuencos de caldo de tamarindo de cortesía. Elegimos entre los interesantes platos filipinos sonando. Tuve Kare Kare con arroz al vapor. Estas fueron rebanadas de filete de res en salsa satay de maní con Pak choi, judías verdes y berenjenas y un pequeño plato de salsa de anchoas para acompañar a los frijoles. Totalmente diferente y delicioso. Mi marido optó por el pollo salteado y el arroz frito con huevo que disfrutó. Raciones generosas regadas con una cerveza cada una. Altamente recomendado.

Kjempe god middag og dessert og hyggelig betjening. Koselig liten restaurant, som virkelig anbefales.

Cirilo no parece ser particularmente atractivo desde el exterior y nuestras expectativas no eran altas cuando comíamos algo rápido y barato para comer antes de ir al Music Hall de Wilton. ¿Qué tan equivocado puedes estar? ¡Qué sorpresa nos esperaba! En su interior es acogedor y confortable, con un ambiente cálido y encantador. Nos recibió un personal encantador. La comida es maravillosa, ahora he vuelto tres veces y he probado tres platos diferentes, todos eran geniales, y los precios muy razonables. Me siento sorprendido por esta pequeña joya de restaurante y no puedo recomendarlo lo suficiente.

Fui a esta pequeña barra de fideos en torno a 5. 15 pm: fuimos los primeros en llegar. Nos recibió una amable camarera, tenía 1/4 pato crujiente y los calamares para empezar, ambos estaban muy bien presentados y deliciosos. Luego, para los platos principales tuvimos el Kare Kare y el Red Curry Chicken Stir Fry - nuevamente bien presentado y delicioso, especialmente el Kare Kare - Beef en salsa satay de maní servido con un excelente acompañamiento de salsa de anchoa que dio un gran golpe de umami. Lo recomendaría, bueno como una cena antes del teatro si vas a Wilton's Music Hall.

Wir sind spontan am Abend in dieses Restaurant gegangen und wurden sehr freundlich empfangen. Der Service war sehr gut und das essen kam auch sehr schnell an den Tisch.

Vinimos aquí para una cena entre semana, el restaurante estaba sorprendentemente ocupado alrededor de las 7 pm entre semana. No sé mucho sobre la comida filipina, pero el menú parece ser una combinación de platos filipinos y chinos. Pedimos unos entrantes y platos principales para compartir. El pato crujiente era agradable, diferente del pato al estilo cantonés (la piel estaba más húmeda y un poco diferente) pero todavía sabía bien. También me gustó mucho el adobo de cerdo, que era una buena combinación de crujiente y agridulce, y el sisik de pollo. Viene en un plato sizzling, así que ten cuidado con los olores de la cocina. El servicio fue muy rápido y amable, obtuvimos toda nuestra comida y bebidas muy rápidamente y se realizaron en menos de una hora. Definitivamente una buena experiencia y una buena relación calidad-precio, ¡seguro que vendría de nuevo!

It was our first time visiting this restaurant and we live locally. We were sat on a table for three and a couple of tables away from us was a man on his own. Apart from that, there were no other customers.

First time visit in this restaurant with a friend and sad to say we were very disappointed. The pinakbet didn't taste like one, it is more like a Chinese vegetable stir fry dish. It had oyster sauce, soy sauce, cornflour, raw onions, red & green peppers and loads of MUSHROOMS!

10/10. Authentic Pinoy n Asian delicasies. Fast service..excellent presentation n tasty food...affordable..near Grange Tower Bridge Hotel..

Quick and friendly service for decent Asian food. Plenty choices for all tastes and spice preferences. Nothing fancy indeed but fine for the price. And you get to vibrate when the trains rumble by!

Love the tofu special, chop suet, teriyaki chicken, and tofu soup. 4 very different people and we all thought it was DELICIOUS!! Lots of fresh veggies and large portions! Will highly recommend:)

Ik heb aan de titel niet veel meer toe te voegen dan dat het personeel uiterst vriendelijk is! We hebben hier lekker Aziatisch gegeten en hebben hier dan ook niks op aan te merken!

Questo si che è un gran posto. Si mangia benissimo, tutto fresco, molto cortesi e non è assolutamente caro per essere a Londra. Da ritornare complimenti

¡Un servicio excelente y atento, pero tal vez no tan inspirado en el menú filipino como esperábamos!

Had an enjoyable meal last week. The food was so tasty and presentable. Very attentive staff. I definitely reccomend eating there!

Local pequeño, sencillo y agradable, camareros muy amables y comida abundante y exquisita. Nos encantó el chow mein.

My first visit to a Filipino restaurant so I can't comment on authenticity. But the food was tasty and the service friendly and efficient. There were a quiet a few Filipino customers so this was a good sign.

Wir kamen noch nach 22h an und wurden freundlich empfangen und bedient. Für meinen Geschmack waren die Spicy Tofu Soup das einzige das nur "normal gut" war. Die Spießchen waren einfach alle super, Kare-Kare war auch toll, Mechado ist zum Verlieben und auch das mongolische Lamm hat uns extrem gut geschmeckt.

Cirilo's is a fantastic place. We know the menu by heart, but we keep on getting new things - a grilled marinated pork steak on a Filipino style noodle soup this time - amazing - and countless nice touches and taste bonanzas over the years. Thanks guys!

I'm surprised about the ranking of this small restaurant. Maybe they're good in meat or fish, but vegetarian dishes were quite bad. I would not recommend this place to my friend, I'm sorry! Waiter is ok.

Este pequeño restaurante filipino es fantástico. Camarones fritos tenía mi maltratada por el arranque y tuve calamares. Tuve la el Adobo, uno de los platos característicos de las Filipinas y mi amigo tenía Kare Kare - ambos deliciosos. Una sola porción de arroz al vapor era más que suficiente para después de cenar teatro. Considerar este lugar antes o después de una visita a Wilton Music Hall - o simplemente ir a cenar allí, no más de 10 minutos a pie de la estación de metro de Aldgate East

The service was wonderful, was greeted as soon as I stepped in. The food was delicious. The vegetable were lovely & fresh, not over or under cooked so still had a nice crunch to them. I will certainly be returning & highly advise.

This was my first time trying a Filipino restaurant, and I was delighted with the place and the delicious food. My lovely Filipina friends that I went with said some of the dishes are quite "fusion" and not authentic - doubtless the owners and chefs have changed some of the ingredients to make it more in keeping with British tastes - but everything I tried was delicious so I'll be going back to try more. There are also Chinese dishes on the menu for those who are less adventurous like crispy aromatic duck.

I've been here a few times and I have to say that the food is very tasty.

Pedí salir de este restaurante: la

I was meeting up with a girlfriend who I hadn’t seen in a long time and we stumbled upon this most amazing restaurant.

Nothing from the outside, but another choice to thank trip advisor for. Very good service and beautifully cooked noodles, with plenty of vegetables and extra chilli as requested. Will definitely visit again

¿Qué un poco este fue - gracias a Tripadvisor. Gran servicio amable y la comida deliciosa! Pinchos de carne y pasamos los rollitos de primavera vegetales para empezar. La carne era deliciosamente húmeda pero siento los rollitos primavera tenía un poco mucho bollo para llenar para mí. Realmente me impugnan los principales ya que tenía el kare kare que era carne encantador en una salsa de cacahuate acompañado con una salsa de anchoa - fue increíble, dulces y saladas, muy diferente mezcla de sabores.

Je ne connais pas bien la cuisine philippine mais certains plats étaient vraiment originaux. Ce n'est pas celui que j'ai préféré mais c'est toujours agréable de découvrir de nouvelles saveurs.

Creo que este lugar tiene un gran potencial pero intenta propicie. Parece un pequeño café (10 mesas), pero en realidad es un restaurante. Realmente no es un bar y no vi ningún espacio para visitar sólo para bebidas. Sólo había una noche de cócteles disponibles en la visitamos pero el vino rosado y botellas de cerveza Red horse filipino. El ambiente es agradable y limpio, pero no es realmente un lugar para una fiesta ruidosa. Empezamos con pato en tortitas que estaba bien, pero no memorable. Principal de cerdo crujiente era enorme, con chispeante, panceta de cerdo y costillas también. Mucho aunque la salsa sobre las verduras era abundante y delicioso. Llegó con corta en lonchas y patatas asadas que eran un poco exageradas. De esta forma, me gustó, pero esto puede no ser del gusto de todos. El pez espada filete de igual forma era demasiado grande y por desgracia no preparado en el centro de tener probablemente empezó como congelado. Esto no debería ocurrir. Una pena ya que el resto de los peces era excelente y lanzar una sombra sobre la comida. El costo de este principal fue descontado de la factura sin solicitando y este es un tributo al restaurante. Sospecho que si la carne había sido un tamaño más manejable, entonces la cocina hubiera sido perfecto. Volveré a este restaurante y probar algunos de los otros platos, pero quizás algo no tan aventureros. El proyecto de ley para 2 era £42 y esta es una buena relación calidad-precio (incluso de contabilidad para el 16 libras. 50 pez espada que fue tomada).

Estábamos buscando un lugar para comer que local no había probado antes. La mejor decisión jamás reservar una mesa aquí! Como en otros comentarios, el restaurante es pequeño, pero el tamaño de las porciones no son! El servicio es fantástico y muy amable y la comida era increíble, te llena, pero no dejan la sensación de un pesado perezosos!

This was a spur of a moment visit. After a quick check on this site to ensure we could expect a certain standard - we called in.

If you want great food, good service and in a cosy environment then you won't be disappointed. We had a great meal with our family with everyone enjoying the evening. The welcome was friendly and the chief is first rate.

We were visiting wilton's and trip advisor led us to this restaurant nearby. We were amazed how good the food was. All of us enjoyed it. Best was sizzling pork. Also good the meat udon noodles. Good reasonably priced house wine. Friendly service. Would definitely come back when next in the area.

Wow. Great menu and the food was just beautiful. So nice to find such a wonderful gem in the city. Certainly on my return list.

Loved this place. Everything so fresh and the cook is an absolutely whizz. He made some stuff for us that wasn't even on the menu when we got chatting to him. Outstanding value for money. Some of the best cocktails I've ever had and the meat was so tender and veg so perfectly cooked. Will definitely be returning many many times.

Many reviewers have already sung the praises of this understated little East End gem, with its wealth of exciting Filipino dishes and a chef who's a creative wizard in the kitchen. What is less well known is that they grow much of their veg on their own organic allotment. Sure raises the bar for all the generic chain restaurants springing up in the area. We really treasure this place!

We needed a restaurant close to Wilton's music hall and we were delighted to find this little gem. They went out of their way to produce a menu of vegan food for me and it was absolutely delicious.

Me enteré acerca de este restaurante en Tripadvisor, y de inmediato fuimos a cenar para comprobarlo. Inmediatamente nos saludó calurosamente por el propietario y su asistente. Teníamos los rollos de primavera, sisig, calamares y pancit y estaban muy bien! Volvimos a la noche siguiente y pedimos su ceviche (super bien), el adobo, sinigang y como postre que turon todos amor de nuevo. Cirilo, el chef de cocina hace los mismo y podíamos realmente sentido su pasión por la comida sobre cómo él látigos cada plato y se prepara. Nos enorgullece que alguien ha introducido Filipino cocina fuera de las Filipinas y en el escenario mundial.

Normalmente me pare aquí cuando visite Wiltons Music Hall y la última noche no fue diferente. Mi único error absurdo no fue a escuchar a mi propio Consejo y una vez más pedimos entrantes. No hay nada especialmente malo con ellos, pero no a la altura del evento principal fresco y maravilloso. Sospecho que mi langostinos tempura salido del congelador y pan a la grasa (bastante bonito pero no espectacular). Esto no se puede decir que los fideos Singapur son inmejorables, junto con el pato, brócoli y nueces de anacardo. También disfrutamos de espinacas con ajo y lima, ah, y un huevo frito con arroz. Marie nos cuidó muy bien y nos pareció que el vino, cerveza y licores muy buen precio. No vienen aquí para una noche romántica pero si largo que quieras fideos muy fresco y muy bien preparado es sin duda el lugar.

Me encantó cada bocado gran calamares fritos, fideos incluso mejor. Tenía una cortesía del chef encantó chilies cerveza San Miguel filipinas que podrías perder el lugar si somos viejos cuidado

In questo luogo abbiamo mangiato la prima sera a Londra , dopo aver scelto un luogo per cenare che non fosse troppo lontano da dove alloggiavamo.Prima volta in cui ero andato in un ristorante filippino , anche se la cucina ricorda molto quella asiatica del Sud Est (Thailandese, Indonesiana).Rapporto qualità prezzo buono, abbiamo ordinato due piatti ed un antipasto pagando relativamente poco.Servizio cordiale e veloce. Pagamento con carta credito.

The food was very good. It was my first time trying Filipino food and I was pleasantly surprised. Ordered prawn tempura, sizzling beef sisig which were both delicious. I would eat here again.Service was also fast.

I brought my parents here to eat Filipino food after reading about the restaurant in TimeOut. Both my parents are Filipino and we were excited to try this place, however each 'Filipino' dish was a disappointment. We tried the pinakbet, Mami soup, pancit, and adobo - all equally terrible. Each dish was more of a Chinese take on Filipino food and while some may be interested in that fusion, we were hoping to have good traditional dishes, so were left feeling underwhelmed. The adobo was particularly awful. If you are looking for an authentic Philippine meal, please do not go here. It is better to stick to the Philippine restaurants in Earl's Court.

As a Filipino who lives in Birmingham where there is no Filipino restaurant, I craved for a Filipino foods so going to London is an opportunity to find a Filipino restaurant.I have searched for the good Filipino restaurant to go to and I have read the reviews of this place and my cousin and I was really looking forward going to this place. My cousin and I make sure that we will prioritise of going to this place so we rushed our tour in Tower of London and head towards and walked for 14mins to get to this place , we actually waited for it to be opened and we were really excited and can't wait to fill our cravings. But to our dismay we were really disappointed because the food is not what we expected as an authentic Filipino food, we order pancit guisado and instead of pancit what we have was misua which really did not taste like pansit at all and we did not enjoy it, we probably could have enjoyed it if the misua have been mixed with sardines and eggs and we order kare kare which is another disappointment because it was not the proper karekare. In general the only reason we went there is the Filipino food so it did not matter if we were not received a warm greetings, but it lets us down and we were really disappointed. I would not recommend this place for Filipino people who is looking for authentic Filipino food.

friendly service, delicious food, good price.. Duck with brocoli and cashwe-nuts was awesome! We will come back!

Not a big restaurant but wonderful food & friendly helpful staff.Definitely worth a visit if your in the area & easy to find.Would love to go again

Staying just down the street needed a quick dinner. Place was very clean. Food was so hot it was Sizzling looked great and tasted better. I will return

After eating in many restaurants I've found this little treat. It's food is well priced and comes with cirilos very own sauces! Easy to get too from Aldgate and Tower Hill station.Juliet is the bosses husband and offers great hospitality!

We ate at this restaurant after a visit to Wilton's Music hall. The shredded duck was good, though not as crispy as it might be. We both had fish stews for the main course and both were good. Service was good and not expensive.

Ich habe hier Bewertungen gelesen, die den Inhalt haben: Das Essen ist nicht authentisch. Mag sein. Es schmeckt aber sehr gut.

Buena comida abundante y buen trato .Restaurante muy acogedor ylimpio es pequeño pero noda sensación de agobio

Walking distance from Aldgate East and Tower Hill tube stations, this family-run Filipino restaurant on the historic Cable Street, near the junction with Dock Street, is quite a find. Cirilo is master in the kitchen and his wife Julia organises front of house. Our waiter was delighted when we ordered a bottle of Romanian Pinot Noir (£19). She was from Romania. We stayed with the wine all evening. The four of us shared a superb half of shredded duck, Chinese style. Perfect. I could live off this. We shared four main courses of the national dish Abodo, Sizzling Prawns, Beef Sisis and Mechadd, with boiled rice. One of our party is a fan of the powerful Red Horse beer (£4.50) and ordered a bottle to finish off. An exceptional dinner for the four of us came to £116.30. This was with three bottles of wine -- and we left a generous cash tip. What a great find.

No mistake: the food was great, the service good an the meal was reasonably priced.But we nearly didn't eat there because I asked permission to plug in my phone charger and it was refused. When I said that I'd go somewhere else, the boss came over and explained that they are a small business and have to meet the costs. I could only charge my phone if I was prepared to pay...£1.50. My girlfriend was desperate for some Filipino food, so I agreed and we sat down. Then the manager offered to switch on the electric heater...which consumes about 500 times as much electricity as a phone charger. The restaurant was almost empty at lunchtime, so how about free WiFi, free phone-charging, and some genuine Filipino folk music instead of the classic Brit-pop which was playing? There aren't many Filipino restaurants about, so a bit more thought could turn this place into a real success.Remember: the food was great!

Whilst staying in the area overnight with my daughter, we had a look on Trip Advisor for suggestions for the best places to eat near Wombats Hostel.This place is so small on the outside you could miss it, but when you find it, it's well worth a visit.Some tables were reserved, which is always a good sign. We had a lovely welcome and despite the fact it was our waitress' first night on the job, she was competent and friendly.We shared seaweed and duck for starters, and for our main meal we had chicken chow-main and pineapple sweet and sour chicken with rice and noodles. It was all delicious.We will eat here again if we are in the area.

Being short of time before a theatre visit we made our choice from the menu displayed outside.As soon as we were seated a waitress laid cutlery on our table and took our order, the food arrived so speedily they must know the scenario. Th meal, Cheese baked potato with salad was just fine.

Great food and service, and really good value for money at this little philippine restaurant. Recommend the chicken skewers starter. Gorgeous! The noise of the trains running overhead adds to the charm of this place, as does the 80's music!

Best eastern Asian food around here! Good service, tasty food, and really fresh crunchy veges, not overlooked and soggy. Love their Korean dishes too, different to the usual Chinese or Thai. Definitely recommend!

We are very limited for good Chinese where we live in Wapping, the Mrs convinced me to try Korean... and it was all very nice. And mostly recognisable.I did enjoy it, only reason I did not give 5 stars is service was a little over baring and there was no desert.

When in not expecting much because of the prices but had an amazing meal, all dishes were cook well. Nothing over cooked and very tasty. The flavours were exactly how they were explain in the menu. Very good service, left very full and pleased.

Spotted the restaurant by chance. We weren't that hungry so decided to give it a whirl. It was busy (always a good sign). We ordered delicious crispy duck for starters followed by two noodle dishes. Everything was piping hot, pretty good portions and very, very tasty. Accompanied by two glasses of house red (good). Service was fast and friendly. A really good find.

This place looks average from the outside, but the food is outstanding. You'll not find better value for money in all of London and I've lived here for 30+ years. Starters were superb, with the flavour of the BBQ sauce on the tender pork skewers absolutely exquisite. Mains were hearty and astonishingly good value for money, but with no compromise on the delicacy of the flavours. You need to visit this place. In a different location, they'd be queueing out the door.

Sort of place you would just walk past, which we nearly did. It is only small and was quite full but we took a chance.Quite a broad menu for such a small place but all the food coming out looked really fresh and appetisingGreat service and great value, well done

This is an excellent little restaurant with a friendly and intimate atmosphere. I had booked because we were visiting the wonderful Wiltons Music Hall and worried it might get busy before the show. In fact it was surprisingly quiet with only a couple of other tables booked. It was early so maybe we were the only people attending the show who wanted to eat first. My only criticism would be the starters which I am sure came straight from the freezer into the deep fat fryer; all three of our starters arrived with exactly the same sweet chilli sauce, somewhat disappointing. However, things definitely looked up with the main course, the Singapore noodles being the best we've ever had. Also I would highly recommend the duck with cashew nuts and broccoli and the pink Norwegian prawn dish. All three of our choices were great, we shared plates and felt there wasn't a "weakest link" amongst any of them. All this supplemented with an interesting choice of rices and of course those wonderful noodles. The wine list is slightly more interesting than many restaurants of a similar ilk, so all in all we give Cirilo the big thumbs up.

I visited this noodle restaurant a few nights ago and the food was hot (not spicy) and delicious. Also the service was quite impeccable. I only found it accidentally, as it is quite hidden away from the main street. I wish I could go back again some time soon. Serves a good variety of vegetarian dishes. The price is pretty reasonable. A must visit, highly recommended.

A total GEM. Can't wait to go back. Not only did I find this to be authentic, it was over the top delicious. Can't wait to bring friends and family. And we loved the music and vibe! The flavors in the food were so tasty and in good quality.
