Very traditional filipino restaurant. Sisig is my favorite filipino dish, and this was quite yummy! Get the sizzling sisig na baboy (pork)! It was a little bit oily, but it definitely was tasty with the egg on top, along with onions, jalepenos, and lemons they added on the side. Tip: For a family of 5, only get 2 bowls of rice/garlic rice! They're really big portions. We ordered 2 regular rice and 2 garlic rice, but the waiters were nice enough to take one away since we didn't know they were such big portions.

I think I get the gist of Filipino cuisine. Take staple dishes from other Asian cuisines, like Viet rice dishes, Chinese noodles, etc... and then: (1) deep fry and oil the crap out of it (2) put a fried egg on it (3) serve it with a soy sauce and vinegar mixture I couldn't even finish 1/3 of my plate without feeling like Honey Boo Boo's family.

Grease! Grease! Grease! I love Filipino food but this place was not the best example of it. The sisig was well seasoned but soooo greasy I felt very guilty eating it. Also I spied the staff cleaning the palm leaves with a cloth of suspect cleanliness... YMMV

House of pissing ? There was No PIECE OF METAL in the food I ordered as Jenn B's review, Thank God, but, dubious skeptical place like this, we are taking a risk, are't we? The food, I'm not trying to put Filipino cuisine down or anything like that, but it seems quite mediocre, as Hawaiian food. I had a VERY SALTY Sisigsilog - $6.50, grilled prok diced and flavored with a special sauce topped with onions and jalapeno peppers, 2 egg over hard ( they never asked me how do I like the egg cooked), Garlic Rice. I remember that a girl I know from Filipine native said, " Why do I have to go Filipino restaurants to eat filipino food? Why should I? My mom makes lot better than them." That's why I totally against the philosophy of "Home made cuisine is the best". Restaurant food and home food are different as Professional chef and house wife. I hate eating someone else's house wife cooking because it's all mediocre. House wife in US don't cook. Very few cooks. But most don't. That's why I felt I was ripped off place like here. Sinigang na Baka? Who is BAKA? calling me BAKA? talking to me? Are you talking to me? No one else here. And you sayin' BAKA? BAKA-BON!!! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teâ€¦ I don't know about the place. I wanted to like it though. But, I really have experienced better like the Gateway Kitchen.

I've been here twice now... The first time was wonderful. Went on a weeknight and it wasn't too crowded at all and the service was good along with the food. Today on the other hand was Fathers Day and the wait wasn't too bad...BUT people sat after us got serviced first. It seemed as though they were very short staffed but still...I had to ask for menus, ask to order, ask for drinks, ask for items and ask for the check/take out boxes. The servers never came back to our table at all to ask us if anything was okay... They also ran out of sisig when it's the House of Sisig...we also ordered halo halo at the end of our meal and they ran out of ice...I've never heard that happen but maybe just be more prepared when you have a holiday on your hands with staff and food. A little upset on our most recent visit but I'll give it 3 Stars bc it's half and half...

Food is good, soul food for the Filipino. But If you come right after a "kamayan" party, you're pretty much screwed and have to wait for your little rice plates for 45 mins which to me is just ridiculous. They make the food for the big parties and completely forget about the smaller ones.

I've eaten here before so was excited to return. I was the first in there on a saturday lunchtime followed by a group of three who got there sizzling sisig 20 minutes later. After 40 minutes my sisig plate came. It was so cold so I returned it, After 30 seconds in the microwave it came back, barely warm and chewy. There's better places so I wont be back!

Bad business bureau. Had a party of 6. What does 15% service charge mean? Tip? Waiters said it was for the owners for keeping the place open and having tables and chairs. Bullshit. Come on. I'm not stupid but I let it go. Tipped 20% on top of this too since food was good and service was alright. Anyways not coming back. Customers beware of 15% service charge of 15% on bill. Waiters said tip is not included in bill when I asked and what does this mean? I work on this kind of industry so I know. Bad business bureau needs to do investigation on the restaurant receipts. Anyways not coming back because of this.

I've never been to a business with such bad service. Where do I start? Our server was lazy. We had to get our menus after being sat down and waiting for 10 minutes. She would never ask us if we needed to fill our water. She waited 15 minutes to serve water to the table next to use. While we were waiting for our food the manager or owner was arguing with a customer in front of everybody in the restaurant. I knew right when I saw that go down the customer service wasn't going to be good. We ordered kare kare, Beef steak, garlic rice and sisig. Here was the order it came out every 5 minute. Beef steak, sisig, garlic rice then kare kare. How do you serve rice second to last? We are Filipino we need our rice to eat with our food. The kare kare, beef steak and garlig rice was mediocre at best. Sisig was really good. After eating we must have waited 15-20 minutes while the server was chatting some of her friends at another table. While in that 15-20 minutes she served them drinks and food. He was leaning on the wall and even giving high fives to her friends. Never once did she stop by to fill our drinks, asked if we wanted our check or a box to take our food home. I got fed up and walked over and asked for a box and our check. Her friend table was next to the hall way to go to the kitchen. She saw me ask for a box, bag and check. She did not once say sorry or asked if I needed help. I told the manager what happened and she said she was going to talk to her but I think that was her daughter and I doubt nothing will come of it. Will I go back? NO! Will I tell everybody about how their customer service sucks? YES!

I've missed Daly City and their abundant Filipino restaurants to chose from. That being said, we made a visit to House of Sisig. Their service was a tad slow for a Saturday night, but our waitress managed to take our TEN orders (along with drinks) without writing anything down! And they all came back correct. My biggest thing with sisig is, "mixed" or "not mixed." I'm still not sure if I like my jalapenos and onions mixed in already with the meat. With other places, I've found that if the jalapenos are cooked down a bit, it's not that spicy for me. (might just be in my head.) That being said, this place does NOT have their jalapenos and onions mixed, it's placed on the side and are chopped quite finely. I have no complaints about my meal. The only thing is I do have a complaint about it that I had to take my kids to the rest room and walking back there, the place is really gross! The floors are sticky and it doesn't look very clean at ALL!

One star because the food was very good. Tinapsilog, sisilog and fried chicken skins were amazing. The lack of stars is for the horrible service. What should have been an hour lunch became 2+. There was a large group ahead of us that had reserved tables....but was 2 hours late. So we sat and stared at 4 empty tables until other patrons were done. The food took forever even though we made sure to get our order in before the large party. Overall we left unhappy and probably will not go back.

Worst service ever! I would rather throw my money into the ocean than to spend another dime on this place. Unless they get a total management makeover, this place is not worth coming. My boyfriend and I first tried this place with a group with more than ten people. I was going to give this place a three star because of the kamayan style they served, for all the people complain because they find kamayan style disgusting need to keep an openmind. There are plenty of cultures out there eat with their hands. So we decided to come back here for a second time which was a biggggg mistake! We sat down and waited for more than twenty minutes before the waitress with an extremely unpleasant attitude take our order. We ordered the sizzling platter for pork sisig, garlic rice and some shanghai lumpia. We thought it was going to be good so we waited for a longggg time before the lumpia finally came out. First of all, there was a black thumb print on the plate which i will upload pictures for. The lumpia was mediocre and it was barely warm. Then we waited for another twenty minutes before of sisg plate comes out. The pork sisig we ordered did not come with a sizzling platter while the other table did. Our dish was cold.The bottom of the plate was extremely dirty and fill with wet pink or bloody stuff of some sort. I thought maybe the food would be good and a little bit of honest dirt wouldn't hurt. We were so hungry by then that we decided to eat either ways, which was another mistake because I spend the night occupying the bathroom. My boyfriend waved for the waitress and waited another twenty minutes before she decide to stroll in. He confronted her about the sizzling platter which she insisted we ordered the other one. Then he told her about the plates being dirty and she shrugged and look at him like he was being stupid. So he asked for the manager and she said the manager is not in. Then he ask if he could speak to the person in charged which she replied saying "there is nobody in charge." I honestly would not be so upset if the food was at least good but it wasn't. The sisg was too salty, there are no authentic ingredients in there accept for just pork. The garlic fried rice was not garlic fried rice. Overall, it was awful service, expansive and unhygienic. If you ask me they should take off that out dated sticker that said "They love us on Yelp."

decided to go here for lunch because some other place we planned was closed on Mondays. cmin from SJ, its a ways drive ...but whatevs! its our 1st time here and in reading the past reviews(and how bad they sounded)we figured(or I figured), that those negative 'yelpers' are probably trying to compare H.O.Ss to some 5 STAR joint in some 'posh' ass area they been to (stop being a candy ass(just sayin)!! *arite, LETS DO THIS! -its located off Junipero Serra Blvd, deep Daly City. -neighbohood is sketchy, accross from an iHop and a smoke shop lol -place is sorta small but lotsa seating -decor is HELLA Pinoy! (still got XMas decor up) -wait staff is FRIENDLY and greeted us right off the bat and attentive, seated right away (and they spoke to us in tagaloglish and I did NOT understand the majority of words cause im born here (but whatever) haha -we had our baby and he was hungry and crying and the waiter heated our baby's milk bottle, upon request, for us(hella COOL) -menu was listed nice and WE KNEW what we wanted to order and i was also recommended the LONGSILOG -we ordered longsilog, sisisg PUSIT, sisigsilog and bangosilog and this shit right here, nicca ...I say this shit RIGHT HERE nicca, was ALL GREAT tasting food!! -descent price, LARGE PORTION plates! -wait staff fills your water and leaves YOU be ...take that for what its worth closing thoughts: House of Sisig got a well deserved 4 (YES FOUR) for my experience considering its bad review(s) and that its in a roody poo area and the place wasn't all spectacular looking ...i only CARED if the food was GOOD, anywayz!

OMG, what happened hell to this place!?! My hubby and I eat here for the sisig when we are in the area (we're from San Jose). Now I will have to find another place for sisig. This used to be one of my favorites. Have you ever been seated and couldn't help but notice those who are seated after you? How about the people waiting for a table since the restaurant is packed? I can honestly say, there were 3 tables that ordered after us: 1 table directly behind us (a group of 4 or 5) and 2 other parties of 2 that were waiting for tables to open up. We were already waiting a long time for a our two dishes (giseng-giseng and sisig) when the those 2 parties that were waiting got seated. By this time, the group behind us already got their kamayan style food. We waited and waited and waited. Mind you, I'm a pretty patient person. Get this, I look to my left and low and behold, that table of 2 already got their kamayan style food!!! WTH!?! We still waited...Finally got our giseng giseng. Get this, while we're eating (and still waiting for the sisig) the other party of 2 (seated by the window) got their kamayan style order. WTH!? I'm furious at this point. I had to ask for our sisig TWICE. It probably arrived 10 minutes after we got our giseng giseng. I kid you not. One table being served before us is forgivable, but 3!?!?!?!?!?! Especially when we ordered WAY ahead of them?!!?!?

~AVOID FOR SAFETY AND HEALTH ISSUES~ I have been coming to House of Sisig for 10 years now, and the staff has changed horribly. The service is awful. WHEN I WAS EATING MY RELLENOG TALONG AND I FOUND STEEL WOOL IN IT! Thankfully I didn't swallow it, but my father was so hungry he didn't notice any. Hopefully he didn't eat any of that. This is a big HEALTH SCARE because my father has had major stomach problems.

My friends in San Jose always talk about driving all the way up for this place, so I decided to come with a friend who lives in Pacifica. We were definitely impressed! She doesn't eat Filipino food too often since her mom stopped cooking and my white girlfriend hates the smell of Filipino cooking in the house. I got sisigsilog, good ol comfort food. I was surprised that they didn't mix the jalapeÃ±os and onions with the pork, but it turned out fine for me so I didn't overpower the taste with too much spice or onion. My friend got the sisig na pusit. Holy crap, it was amazing. It was sizzling squid heart attack on an iron plate, but it was so good! Even just taking the garlicky, buttery sabaw (more like grease!) and putting it on my rice was enough. The portions were very generous, and I had enough baon for lunch the next day. I'm anxious to try the kamayan, but it looks like so much food! The service was decent, the waitress was attentive and quick to help us, but it took a long time for the food to come out.

Poor Service! Came here at exactly 7pm, 3 tables were dirty. We asked one of the staff to clean one of the tables for us and it took him 15mins to clean 1 table!!! Then we went to our table ecaxtly 7:20, told the server that we are ready to order and she responded "Ok hold on coz my hands are still dirty." (we're like ok wth?) they took our order at exactly 7:50!!!! 20minutes wait just to take our order. They served our order at 8:35!!!! While eating, my husband asked for extra rice and spoon. The older lady server forgot so we asked the other server and it took her 10mins to serve our extra rice. The spoon never came so our 1yr old son has to use his hands to eat (not a big deal,but i wish the spoon came tho). Then when we finished eating, we asked for the bill and amazingly it took them less than a minute to process our tab! Food was good BUT Not great (i guess coz we're starving) VERY DISORGANIZED! The younger filipina girl is the worst server! They should get rid of her,seriously!!!

This place is called "House of Sisig" so you think that would be their specialty right?... Ummm yeah...no...not really. I ordered the SisigSilog and I was expecting it to come on a sizzling plate but nope. The onions and peppers were on the side so those flavors didn't even get cooked into the meat. Oh well, I take my first bite and the flavor of the pork was good but it was so SALTY! Like worse than a whole Chinese meal salty. I don't want to beat a dead horse but fck the horse. Service wasn't really there. I don't want to resort to stereotypes but Filipinos are usually so nice and its not just the nurses.

First off, we are a super chill, friendly family or group of people and we make the most out of every situation. So, with that being said, here's the review for House of Sisig: Let me explain why I've decided to take off the stars: One star off -- the service! Ohmygoodness, for us being so smiley-friendly-quiet-sweet... all we got was grumpiness, and a hurry-hurry attitude from the waitresses. I don't get it? It was quite sad for a moment, but that didn't take away our appetite. Haha! Another star off -- It is quite unsanitary. Haha! Thank you Yelpers for warning us, so we brought our own wipes and sanitizer. Yes! we have come prepared! bwahahaha ;) However! we can not be sure if the servers practice good handwashing. I mean, this one server really wore gloves that entire time. Again, I don't get it. And for the food and the rest of our experience: We had a great time!! We used to live in some of the relaxing beaches of the Philippines, and we were used to enjoying the "KAMAYAN"-style of eating--- which is using your hands to eat food served in banana leaves. And we are ecstatic that this restaurant provided such an experience. Being in the U.S., and with all the health regulations here, It's definitely acceptable that some Americans don't find this experience enjoyable. About the food. C'mon. Every cuisine has healthy and unhealthy choices. Filipino food is not an exception. They offer grilled fish, squid, chicken, pork, beef. They have vegetables dishes as well. And if you're not sure what's healthy or not, try asking. But yes, back to our meal.. we had a great mix of healthy and unhealthy choices. HAhaha!! yummy!! All the grilled items were delicious! as well as everything else we ordered. However, the sisig didn't seem quite authentic... haha! ironic since this place is called House of Sisig. So funny! Overall, we had a great experience! You will have too! as long as in the back of your mind... you imagine eating "kamayan"-style in the warm beaches of the Philippines. If you don't have that way of thinking... then you're screwed! lol! ;)

Another one bites the dust... 5 stars during its glory days (food only - never dined in to review service) House of Sisig had the best sisig I've ever had and I've had sisig at Patio Filipino and various food trucks and House of Sisig "had" the edge over these other establishments. If its a big party or event, you better believe we order from this place and we live in the east bay. At its prime, House of Sisig would blow the competition away. The smokey flavor of the pork with the right balance of salt and vinegar mixed with the onions and jalapenos... mmmm..... mmmm.. goodness. I was just about to place another large order until I started reading the reviews. Saddens me to read reviews where customers are finding metal shards in their food. It should never even happens once but twice and possibly more, is enough for me to not order from this place again. It's like watching your super hero turning into a homeless drunk.... SMH....

Rondell M.

worst f****** service i have ever experienced!!! i have never experienced such bad service in my whole entire life! the two male servers especially need to be fired. they sit around and help only people they want to help. environment in this small restaurant is not welcoming at all. the food took 1 hour to come out! wow, everybody please find somewhere else to eat and experience filipino food. Im serious. Please go somewhere else

Food was cold and when we told the server, he gave us the look and responded by saying "that was just grilled". Now, Is it too hard to tell the customer, I'm sorry and let me take care of it? He took the plate of food and proceeded to kitchen window and yelled out to the cook " malamig daw!" Really? At the time we were eating our lunch, there were only 3 tables of customers. Why is it that I have to raise my hand again for glasses of water. Each time we ask for things, he gave us the evil look that we were interrupting him. Had to yell out for the check when we were done and it was so obvious we were done eating coz I was literally trying to get his attention. I had my credit card ready to pay when he placed the check on the table but let it sit there for more time. So, I decided to walk it to the cashier myself. Wow! My question to most filipno restaurant owners!! Where is the customer service? Why can't you hire the right people to serve your restaurant the right way? At least train them to be courteous, to be attentive and this might help bring back repeat customers.

When my mom isn't available to make some home-cooked Filipino food. This is usually where I go. The prices are decent, and all the times I've eaten there it's always hit the spot. I've never eaten there so I can't comment on the customer service but ordering take out has never been a problem.

Anita T.

No The service was horrible, but the food was really good. They did not seat us, they did but offer us any drink or water, they took 15-20 mins to order our food, and we had to ask for things we need & want they did not ask us if we needed anything. Would not recommend this place to family or friends.

I literally live down the street from this place. I ordered the Sisigsilog and thought it was okay. Being filipino, I actually had my first experience with sisig last year. It was homemade by a friend of ours and fell in love with it. The ilocano version of sisig I was brought up with was "calding" (goat). Yuck! Not sure if I will come back unless I'm lazy too to cook filipino food. I'd probably most likely go to Gerry's Grill over House of Sisig.

Great food. Slow service. Small location. If there's a couple of big parties dining for their reasonably priced kamayan deals, you'll probably - no most likely - wait for 30 minutes or longer. You will also die of thirst. Filipino food is heavy and excessively high in sodium content and like the first time I've been here, they didn't give our drinks until midway into our meal, and neither did they refill our glasses. I was about to choke on some lechon kawali (deep fried pork belly goodness which also translates to cholestorol, wahh *sadface*).

Christian L.

Worse service in all the Filipino restaurants in the Bay Area. They're RUDE. SLOW. FOOD WAS OVER COOKED OR UNDER COOKED. No order in anything. I'm surprised this place hasn't burned to the ground yet. And the girl at the cashier is a BITCH.

Despite the negative reviews, my family heard good things from friends and convinced us to give this place a try. Man, this place sucks bad. I've never experienced such bad service. I can laugh about it now but at the time... i don't know why we didn't walk right out when all the signs were telling us otherwise. I came in with a group of 5 (and a baby) on a Saturday afternoon about 2 pm. We obviously beat the lunch rush and were seated right away. About 10 minutes, the waiter asked if we were ready to order. Ummm, no! Everyone was still looking over the menus which is usually a sign that we're not ready. We asked if we can order drinks for now and he gave us a puzzled look. We said it in both english and tagolog too. He took our drink orders and came back with 3 of the 5 orders.. the other 2 being ice water. About 5-7 more minutes and we were ready to order. We couldn't find our waiter. Oh wait, there is he is at the next table eating and laughing with other co workers. We waited until he looked in our direction but he did not. We walked to the cashier/kitchen area and nicely asked if someone was coming to take our order. The lady said yes and then told the waiter that was eating that we were ready. He took our order and the food came pretty quickly except the woman who brought out the food kept putting the piping hot plates in front of the baby! By the third item, we asked if she could place the food on the other side of the table where it was empty so the baby doesn't try to grab the food. She rolled her eyes at us!~ Like it was some HUGE inconvenience. She brings another dish and completely disregards what we just asked her a minute ago. Finally, all the food was on the table and safely away from the baby. We ordered the: Calamari - I personally didn't like it, we didn't take this one to go. Sisig - It was overvooked and even tasted a bit burnt. It was the worst I've had. Crisy Chicken with special sauce - It was tasty except I didn't try it with the sauce. It was just sweet chili sauce.. not very special at all. Bistek - It was good and not too salty. There was just too much fat in the meat for my liking. With the many choices of good Filipino food in Daly City and in that general area, please listen to the reviews and stay away from this place. This is the only restaurant that I've never left a tip. It was well deserved.

The food here is pretty oily and the customer service isn't that good. The people who work here only care about people they know. If you are a new customer, you will be turned off w/ their service. There are better filipino restaurants out there.

Cliff H.

Normally order to go because the place is small, service is slow and the tables are dirty from all the old food and banana leaves. The food is ok but there is better sisig nearby. I found a metal piece (looks like part of a stainless steel brush used to clean the grill) in my party tray of sisig. Besides that on my recent visit, the food i preordered was not yet ready and had to wait 20 more mjn. During my wait, the person who was putting my order together and taking order calls decides to talk to me about how he lost a ton of money gambling at the nearby casino. And then he tried to sell me his old car. He was so engrossed with trying to get my money and sell his car which i had no interest that he got my order wrong and put 2 different items from what i ordered. Might have switched with the other guy who ordered after me. Anyway this experience will keep me away for a while. I will just go to Kuyas in San Bruno who has better sisig.

I can see why this place gets bad reviews. Their customer service sucks! Never get a hi, welcome, or a smile. Had to wait 15 min once to pick up my order, because the lady in front of me kept gossiping with the cashier in Tagalog. Cashier didn't bother to acknowledge me or stop talking to help me and I could see my order was up at the window for awhile. I would never eat at the restaurant, because I know I'd be annoyed with the service. I keep coming back here because it's walking distance from my work and I only order for to go. When I get a sudden urge of longsilog this place is very convenient. Longsilog is decent, 4 pieces of longanisa, garlic fried rice, 2 over easy eggs, and a side of vinegar. Can't really mess that up. Tried the sisiglog, was too salty and too much onions for my taste.

Saw their promo during the show on Adobo Nation. Got interested upon knowing they have Kamayan Style menu. Place is small. Decor is old. Service is ok. The lady who was our waitress that time was great. We tried the Kamayan Style family menu. Foods were yummy. Though I dont think Im going back. Nothing really special about their place. Place looks nasty.

Poor service. Unfriendly and unresponsive staff. Dust flying everywhere from the christmas ornaments they never remove, table next to us found an insect crawling out of the banana leaves they were using as table mats. Cramp space due to too many tables bunched too close together. Sisig isn't all that great for a restaurant called House of Sisig, it tasted like Inihaw. Not going back and wouldn't recommend this place.

It was Eh feeling for me. if your looking for some sisig, I enjoyed my sisig pork but it was pretty much a blah.. It wasn't bad. i was just waiting for the kick ass yeah i will come back feeling. Will i come back, I don't think so.. if i'm in Daly City again maybe, but not anytime in the future

This is the best Filipino food I've had outside the Philippines. Sisigsilog was fantastic! This is clearly a mom n' pop joint. Highly recommend!

This place is banging especially if you are craving for some home cooking. I don't cook much, especially not Pilipino food. This place had some really good garlic rice, eggs and chicken tocino. Yum!! It definitely hit the spot. Another plus: They serve coconut water!

As it was my first time entering this place, I was immediately surprised by the fact that my waiter, Christian was not so attentive to anyone in the store. I was almost immediately ready to find myself another table to be served by Josh. Instead, Christian finally came to my table and took our orders. WHICH BY THE WAY HE FORGOT THE SINIGANG and I ended up asking Josh to check if we were billed for it. Thankfully, we weren't. The food wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I had ordered the Sisigsilog, since it is called "House of Sisig." I really thought the food would be superb, but in actuality, I wasn't satisfied. The onions and jalapenos were separated, which makes it just strips of pork with a side of onions and a side of jalapenos. The garlic rice was okay, but seriously, there is no way you could mess it up. Overall, the highlight of my visit was the nice, attentive, waiter, Josh.

We dropped by here after a trip to Napa, we were totally starving and my boyfriend needed his daily fix of rice. I looked up Filipino places close to us and we decided to go with this one. It did take awhile for the food to come out but while we were waiting my boyfriend was chatting it up with the owners. They seemed really nice. Their portions are pretty big and the food was good. I had the grilled liempo and my boyfriend had adobo (if I remember correctly). We also ordered calamari. This place totally reminded me of my days in the Philippines!

Let's get something straight.... When you go to a Filipino restaurant, you have to be prepared for less-than-stellar service. It's something I've come to know and accept. Bad service at a Filipino restaurant is, to me, pretty standard. I'm not making excuses. I'm just telling it like it is. When you go to a Filipino restaurant, you come for the food. Period. (If you're someone in the Filipino restaurant business, please know that good service is always appreciated. So set that standard, please.) In terms of what I've experienced at House of Sisig, their service is just so-so. It's not great, but it's not as horrific as some folks have described. Next, if you DON'T know what Filipino food is, please don't get pissed off because it's not what you expected. It's like getting mad at a cat because it's not an elephant. Are you with me? If you're new to Filipino food, ask the server lots of questions and PLEASE don't get angry when the food before you is nothing like the Panda Express that you're used to. Finally, the Philippines consists of over 7000 islands. The food is incredibly varied, which makes consistency a challenge. If it doesn't taste like your mom or lola's cooking, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Different people from different regions cook the same dish in different ways. Get over it. (Besides, if you're craving mom or lola's cooking, then just go over and visit!) Okay. Now that we've cleared that up, on to my review. These days, House of Sisig has been the go-to place for me and the Manpanion. The food is good enough, the portions are generous, and the price is just right. Typically, we get the tselogs. He loves getting them with sisig and I usually opt for tocino. They're not stingy with the meat, it's flavorful, and topped off with the egg, garlic fried rice, and a side of vinegar, I'm good to go. The sisig is smoky and seasoned just right and I love the tocino, as it's not overly sweet. As I've said before, kare kare is the standard to which I judge all Filipino restaurants. Recently, I finally got around to trying it out here. I must say, it was quite yummy and I'm definitely ordering it again. The sauce was deliciously creamy and peanut buttery (this is where most places get it wrong). Plus, the oxtail was so tender it fell off the bone to the touch and the tripe was clean and melted in my mouth (a total win in my book). Yes, the veggies were delicately steamed and went wonderfully with everything else. Since I've only been here with the Manpanion, I haven't had the chance to check experience the kamayan menu. (However, I stare with envy at the neighboring patrons whose tables are covered with banana leaves oozing with scrumptious delights.) Soon, when the east bay family decides to make it to this side of the bay, I'm definitely going to indulge in that next!

My review is perhaps fair because I personally don't expect top-notch customer service in Filipino restaurants, just because customer service is completely different in the Philippines and it is somehow reflected in the restaurants here as well. Sanitary standards, I don't know what the other reviewers are talking about - - is it the the banana leaves spread?! Well, it is DAUNTING if you haven't experience eating that way by the beach (ahhhh, the delight) and are used to knives and forks... The authenticity of the Filipino dining experience here is, if I might say, "genuine". Nothing pretentious. So if you're not picky, this is a good place. However, given that the restaurants are catering to California locals, I *think* some things may have to be adjusted to make this place a bit more "acceptable" for potential customers - - Filipinos and non-Filipinos alike. The Filipino dining experience for me is truly enjoyable - - with its flavors, and its warmth, but in order to have people coming back for it or even daring to try it, I think we have to take the best of the experience and adapt it to the current demographic and standards of expectations. While I enjoyed personally found my experience okay, not revolting, a specific incident made me feel uncomfortable. The server was funny - - typical Filipinohumor, but somehow INAPPROPRIATE. How? So we asked for the check, did some small talk, gave my card and when I got my card back...The server asked me if I had another card because my card was declined. I politely confirmed with him and as I was doing that, checked my wallet to see hand him another card. Then he said he was just joking. I totally get the whole thing because I understand Filipino humor and am pretty much compassionate about people's varied people skills. I just hope this was not a typical joke from this server because I think not everyone will tolerate that kind of joke. I work in customer service myself and I understand how sensitive the issue credit cards being declined can be. What if he had thrown the joke to someone who was more catty and intolerant? That's not a good way to represent the restaurant, and more so himself. I guess the owners will have to train their service staff about what's appropriate and what's not - - just to keep everything professional and more so, pleasant.

Those that know me well, already know that I know very little about Filipino food. My base knowledge is chicken adobo, pancit, lumpia shanghai (i think those are the little ones, right?), sisig, puto, and tapa. That's pretty much it. So I was having a craving for filipino food (odd!) and Yelp brought me here! I took the advise of those I was with because they are waaay more knowledgeable then I. But apparently my eyes were bigger than my stomach because I ended up ordering way too much...everything just sounded good and I wanted to try it all. But we are at the House of Sisig so I had to order the sisigsilog which wasn't as good as I thought it would be, and I also ordered the bistek which was sooo good!! I think we also got some lumpia, plus I got to taste their dishes as well. Now I've never been a fan of Halo Halo, I don't know why, I just don't. But like I said, I took the advise of those I was with and ended up ordering the Buko Cha-Cha. OMG!! Heaven!! Absolutely loved it!!! I'll be back again I'm sure...so many dishes I have yet to learn about and try. YUMZ!! =P

If I can give this place negative 5 stars I would. For first timers here, we're now last timers. My girlfriend and I came here on 11/22/13. If you ask me, I'm not at all picky with food. I'll eat Taco Bell for breakfast, lunch and dinner but she always wants rice (WTF... Drives me f'ing crazy!) Anyways, she said she heard good things about House of Sisig from co-workers so since we were in the Daly City area, we decided to try it out. It was just an ordinary day for us. Cool heads coming into the restaurant but from entrance to exit, it was LITERALLY the worst experience, EVER! Dark clouds rolled in and rain poured. Upon entering, we were told to sit anywhere and not a single "hi" or "welcome" from the four people behind the counter. The fat b*tch who took our order acted like she didn't wanna have any customers at all. We ordered 'pork sizzling sisig' and it was swimming in oil! I should've taken a picture and posted it as proof. The mango drink I ordered didn't taste like mango at all; rather a mixture of melting ice with the tongue looking for the flavor. The only thing we enjoyed was our shanghai lumpia as appetizers. Overall, the food was so greasy that I can cook a sunny side up egg on my hand. The service sucked so bad and everything was just so wrong that we decided to bag up our food and eat at home. Before even coming to this place I read some reviews here on Yelp and I already knew the experience was going to be ugly but my girlfriend kept insisting. I'd rather have Jolibee or Goldilocks. Heck, I'd rather starve than return to this place again. Too bad I'll never get that 1 hour back. REMEMBER, I SAID IT WAS AN ORDINARY DAY AND COOL HEADS CAME IN. THIS REVIEW ISN'T COMING FROM A PERSON WHO WAS ALREADY HOTHEADED. THE RESTAURANT RUINED MY DAY!

OK, lets get this out of the way, the service here sucks. They don't seem to give a damn about you, in fact they do seem to genuinely not like customers. They take their time, they don't clean the tables, they don't give you water, they forget orders...... HOWEVER The food is phenomenal and cheap. That is why they can treat you like crap and still stay in business. People will come back for the food. Now I have been to many filipino BBQ, family gathering for years, I am hardly an expert, but I know what I like and this food is awesome. The pork sisig, was one dish that I've never had and I think its immediately one of my favorites. The flavors are unique and with a handful of rice? Excellent. Oh, you'll be eating on banana leaves and with your hands. This is a messy, but fun and unique experience. I worked in a sushi restaurant for a year, as anyone in the service industry will tell you, its hard, back breaking work. Having been a waiter, I always try to give the server the benefit of the doubt. HOWEVER IF the service is awful for you, just don't tip. Its simple, they get the message, your meal is cheaper. Win, win. I will be coming back here again definitely, even with the bad service.

I've been here a few times and recently discovered a big gross Cockroach. The creepy crawler was hanging around the walls near the register. I called the next day to complain about the the Cockroach and apparently the 2 neighboring restaurants also have the same issue. I was told by the lady I spoke with that they have treated the pest three times before and will be scheduled for another treatment. I guess I will be staying away... Yikes!

I been here on many occasions with family as i live close by and they have sucked so much i forget everytime when i come back that it was horrible experience. But for one time, they did a fantastic job in getting my order to me in 15min. I came and ordered to go and was out the door in 15min. Prolly fastest they got something cooked for me ready. I ordered the lechon kawali (so good but only do it like once a month haha) and it was cooked better and more fresh than my usual go to spot Toppings. I got my parents the sisig which was decent...portion size was kinda smaller than usual but overall it tasted better than some other spots i went to... I guess i got good service for once after all the lousy times i had over there so i bumped them from zero stars to a 2 which best describes how i feel..meh

Walked in looking forward to trying the food and some young lady just motions to us to find a seat where we walked in from across the room (how lazy). We sat down for a few seconds and the same lady walks up to us with her arms crossed and asked "are you ready"? I looked at her and asked, "can we get some water first?"... Got the chicken adobo and the food tasted disgusting. It was about 50% grease, SERIOUSLY. The tables were dirty. Do not eat here.

Annabizelle D.

It was a BIGGGG mistake to try this place! The service should be a ZERO STAR! The server served the food we ordered before giving us the plates! We waited 20 minutes for the plates! I had to get up and get water for our table! The food was a typical Filipino food, nothing special. My apologies to the management...... Your service SUCKS!!!

Dick R.

I'm giving it 1star coz I can't rate it none... Very bad service&house keeping, we were the first group that came in but last one to get our food, they forgot what we ordered. The waitress never came back to ask for water,napkins etc. and the place it felty Christmas decor is full of dust... I might call Willie brown to check this place out!

Good kamayan style food. however that's the only good thing they have going. NOTHING ELSE. if you want to be treated like you are nothing. Come here! great place to get horrible service and treated like dirt! the store is dirty and the waitress was absolutely RUDE! I will NEVER come back here and NEVER reccommend this place.

Caralisa L.

As a Filipino-American, I was rooting for House of Sisig, I really was...but it missed the mark for me. First off, there is no initiative when it comes to service, so don't count on anyone coming to your table promptly, even if the place is practically empty...you will have to do the waiving down when it's time to order, for a water refill, etc. The bf had the tapsilog and I had the sisigsilog. Both the meats tasted the same-burnt! My sisig had none of the hints of vinegar or lemon that is signature to sisig! I would only maybe come back to try the "kamayan" (an old Philippine custom of eating with your hands on banana leaves) since I haven't seen that here in the states before.

Candy R.

POSTED ON ANOTHER PROFILE FROM 1/2011 - transferred review The food here would be as close to getting my "Lola's" as cooking would allow. I really enjoy the food here. The girls and I have now set a day out of the week to do "Filipino night" with the kids and we're all a pretty diverse group of gals. So, for Filipino food to be our fist choice and House of Sisig to be our destination says a lot for the quality of food fare. However, I would love to give this place a 5 star rating for the food itself, but an establishment's stellar rating should consist of an overall good experience. I've consistently experienced a lack of good customer service here at the House of Sisig. Whether it be an instance of numerous staff members (up to 4) behind the counter looking for a lost ticket with no food and customers standing there with ZERO acknowledgment of their presence to a mishap on your order and their only attempts of reconciling the issue would be, "Oh, well did you want to order something else?" HELL NO I DON'T!!! I just sat here for over 30 minutes just for you to mess it up anyways??? Really??? But the whole reason for my review would the experience that I last had there when ordering TO GO... There was a couple dining there and the girl seemed to be introducing her guy friend to the variety of foods that the Filipino culture had to offer (I know because I was sitting right next to them as I waited for my order). I assumed that she may have ordered an item wrong so when it came to their table, she alerted her server. He didn't understand her request so began interrogating her with questions such as, "DID YOU OR DID YOU NOT ORDER THIS ITEM?!!?" He began yelling at her saying, "WELL, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT'S WHAT YOU WANTED IF YOU DID OR DIDN'T ORDER THAT ITEM! SO, TELL ME, DID YOU OR DID YOU NOT ORDER THIS ITEM!!!" (over and over again he yelled that to her) and the whole restaurant started staring... She started crying and telling her guy friend that even her dad doesn't yell at her like that. I felt really bad for her. I feel like her friend should have stood up for her as well but hey, pick your battles right? I felt that was ABSOLUTELY inappropriate behavior from a server. House of Sisig...what will you do to step your Customer Service up? Too bad majority of the patrons here wouldn't visit the Yelp website to make a conscious decision to come or not based on a review of bad service...but I sure hope that they figure it out.

For a place called House of Sisig, I would expect the sisig to be mind-blowing amazing. It wasn't mind-blowing, but it was still pretty good. They have all the traditional Filipino dishes you can want including Kamayan communal eating where you eat with your hands off of the table covered with banana leaves. One thing is, the SERVICE IS SUPER SLOOOWWWWW. It took us 2 hours for 2 people to order, eat, and pay. 15 mins to place an order, 20 mins after we ordered, they come back to tell us they were out of the dish we ordered so we chose something else, then another 20-30 mins passes before we get our food, we eat for 30 mins, and then wait another 20-30 mins to pay and get a box for our leftovers. HORRIBLE SERVICE. Order for pick up unless you are very patient! - Sisig na Baboy: sizzling pork with onions, jalapenos and egg on top. get it with the garlic rice and extra sauce. minor portions were overly burnt, but overall good flavor, not too spicy depending on how much jalapenos you put - Bistek: overcooked and chewy, bland flavor, pieces of beef were way too big and they don't give you knives to cut it. - Mango Juice: tastes like thick sugar water with a hint of mango Food: 3 stars Service: 2 stars I don't think I will ever dine in again at this place but I'll order for pick-up.

This was first time here. I came in tonight for a take out. Yes, i was acknowledged when i came in but with a cold stoic face. I asked for a menu it wasn't handed to me. The lady just pointed it for me. Throughout the ordering & paying she never smiled. I found myself a table to sit and wait for my order. All the time the staff just kept staring at me. The lady never gestured or told how much longer i'll be waiting. When the order was ready she called my name. I came up & she simply said thank you without telling me which ones my order. I had to check the receipts. I got home & unpacked my foods there were no utensils or napkins. The pork sisig & calamares weren't so bad. But the service was TERRIBLE!!

Linda L.

First Filipino restaurant I tried! One thing I learned about their menu: lots of fried, grilled, and bbq food! My boyfriend brought me here to try their Sisig (his favorite), which is a dish of diced, marinated pork grilled with onions on top. YUMMM!! Also tried Tapa, which is slices of beef with the choice of grilled or fried. We got it grilled. I don't know what kind of dipping sauces it came with, one was clear/white vinegar-ish, one was a black sauce but trust me, the sauces made a big difference! By itself, it can be a little dry, but with the sauce, it was good! It's definitely something new and can be unhealthy (if eaten frequently) with all the grilled and fried selections, but I'll be back for their Sisig. :]

I was very disappointed at this restaurant for serving us a raw chicken BBQ. I dont usually complaint when it comes to food but my visit here today was the worst experience i had in a restaurant. Service is bad and the person that i talked to could careless if her employees is serving well cooked food. I tried getting her attention of the raw chicken but she said you can not predict if the bbq chicken is cooked or raw. how is this possible for a cook not to be able recognize between cooked BBQ chicken and raw. I just want to remind all my fellow customer that comes to this place that there are hundreds of diseases that you can get for eating raw meat. No 1 on the list for raw chicken is salmonela. Well i let will everyone to be the judge; i just want to share my last experience to this place

Very POOR service. The exhaust is not working good! Food smell sticks on your clothes!!!! Super filthy restroom!!!!! This is a wake-up call to the manager and owner, this is not to put the establishment down! Please do something to improve your services and make your establishment's conditions to a much more tolerable level!

Although their food is really good, their customer service freaking SUCKS!!!!!! We attempted to eat here on a Sunday and it was too crowded so we ended up walking out! We finally ate here last night & it was empty. You would expect a quick service. NOT!! It took them FOREVER just to take our order. Right when I decided to put a review on yelp, our food finally came (35-40 minutes later). My son never got his drink. We were never served water. We ended up grabbing his drink off the counter, which it wasn't even what we ordered! The cashier girl ran her mouth the WHOLE time! This place needs HELP!! Especially on a Friday night! They don't deserve anyone's hard earned money!

Was craving for some Filipino food, so I decided to try this place. I ordered take out after reading about the horrible customer service here. I got the Sisig silog. It looked and smelled really delicious and completely had me fooled. The pork tasted burnt; charcoal like. It came with a type of vinegar sauce so I poured it all over the meat. I was hoping the vinegar would help with the dryness of the meat, but It barely made a difference. The garlic fried rice isn't even "garlic-y" or fried. It's just white rice with a few garlic pieces inside. I also ordered the lumpias- which were actually really good. Came with a good size portion as well. This is why they have two stars instead of one. I'm not sure if my order was rushed due to it being take out, or their food is just normally like this. But I will not be coming back here for their food other than the lumpias. I think I'll just stick with going to Tselogs for some Filipino food.

This place was dirty inside and out. You can go and check it, and I'll guarantee that your not gonna eat. Don't get fool by the smell of the BBQ. If the place was dirty , you could expect the service is also bad.

Jeffrey L.

The time honored Filipino tradition of 'kamayan' (eating with your hands) is why you should come here; the food alone is mediocre. I found out about this place through family members talking about how they dump all this food on banana leaves and you just binge on all the fried-killing me softly-here comes heart disease-goodness. Fish, lumpia, grilled squid, BBQ, lechon, it's all there. It's a pretty fun experience with family and friends. If they love Boiling Crab, they'll love this place. What they really need is better ventilation like the ones they have at KBBQ places. So my biggest advice is don't dress up to go here; you will smell like it.

One of my new fave Filipino restaurant. My boyfriend and I drove 30miles just because we've been craving Filipino food and a friend also recommended this restaurant. We were greeted right away and we were very pleased with Brian's customer service. He recommended lechon kawali so we ordered it along with sinangag rice, mix sinigang, and pork sisig My boyfriend loved the kawali with the Mang Thomas and special sauce they made. Also, the sisig was nothing special until I added some lime (I wish there was calamansi cause it would taste more authentic and delicious), onions, eggs, mayonnaise, and depending with u if u want to add jalapeÃ±o, and you have to mix it real good. The mix sinigang was good too. It was worth paying few bucks more just to have the pork, beef, and prawns in the sinigang soup. Overall, we were fully satisfied. We are hoping to get the same good service and the same good food next time.

Well of course the only thing I've had here is the sisig but only because it's so good I couldn't think of trying anything else...haha... The sisigsilog is the perfect guilty-pleasure and the portion size is more than enough. Usually when we bring food to a party, their sisig is one of our main go-to dishes.

Recently had a wonderful dinner surrounded by good home cookin, great company, and teal velvet cupcakes from Julie K (thanks again). Undeniably a solid 3 stars! I may have experienced better (with some dishes), but I'd still return to try out other items from their extensive menu like the Chicharon Manok, Kare-kare, and their Silog dishes. For people that haven't been here yet... Don't expect elegance. No curtains, tablecloths, or any traditional Filipino decor, but then again, the place was reminiscent of an ordinary small restaurant on a busy street in Quezon City. Don't expect Red Horse or San Miguel. They didn't even have a lot of non-alcoholic drink options either! But DO EXPECT a warm welcome. Customer service was done right here, even with a party of 11 rowdy Yelpers. Thanks HOS for accommodating! EXPECT large portions! Larger than at most Filipino restaurants. EXPECT some digalicious Filipino cuisine. I highly recommend the Crispy Binagoonan, Crispy Pata, Bangus Sisig, and Halo-halo. Their Miki Bihon, Laing, and Pusit Sisig were good, but pretty much average for me. With a name like House of Sisig, I did anticipate really good sizzling Pork Sisig. It definitely ranks up there, but not the best I've had.

To keep things short, I came in, had to seat myself, waited 20 minutes to get a waiter, 20 minutes to get a waiter back for our order, then waited 30-40 minutes for cold food. My friends almost walked out due to a lack of service. I wonder if someone can direct them to the low star ratings and have them read it! Don't even bother here! Go to tselogs or catch the senior Sisig truck! This place gives Filipino food a bad name. I'll never come back and make sure my friends and family know.

Good food shitty service. Their yelp hours say they close at 10:30 but I've found from multiple visits they will close whenever they feel the night is done. If you don't speak Tagalog you're food will NOT come out on time. My boyfriend are sitting here right now and have been waiting for 40 min for our food I am at the point of walking out. The three tables who came after us all have gotten their food. All we ordered were 2 rice plates, took 30 min to get waters. This place has good food but horrible service. Don't come here if you're hungry eat a snack before because depending on who you are you won't be able to eat for another hour or so.

LOUSY service is all I can say. Ordering food took forever. How can u say you have 3 cooks and we got there first and then the other customers who was after us got their food ahead of us. The waiter just told us they have 3 cooks. Who cares but the point is we got there first and they took our order so that means our food should be serve in the order it was received.

Service was so awful that this place doesn't even deserve to receive one star. My guest & I ordered an appetizer, 2 entrees & fried rice. Our rice came half fried & half steamed! Told our server that our rice doesn't look like it was cooked properly & answered me straight in the eye that it was in deed fried. I felt uneasy again thinking it looked like the rice that was served to us was leftover steamed rice or returned from someone else's table & just topped it with a little bit more rice quickly fried for 5 mins then served to our table so I politely asked our server once again. She confirmed once again that it was really fried. As we continue eating we saw the other table being served & along with it were some fried rice & it looked way different than what we were served that's when I began to complain. After several minutes of voicing my thoughts to servers as they each come one by one, finally our server agreed that she really didn't think it was cooked properly but their chef insisted that it was "fried" so she didn't argue anymore. We asked to speak with the manager/owner & she was just mending the register & didn't even bother to come to speak to us but instead sent one of the servers to tell us that they'll just won't charge us with the fried rice! OMG! So sad & very disappointed how the manager only cared about making $$ & gave no regards to their customers. Warning to all customers: next time you eat there or even check out the place for the very fist time, you're better off going somewhere else. However, if you proceed to go through the experience, pay attention to the place's cleanliness (w/c I really meant dirtiness) & make sure the food that u ordered is what you're really getting. It'll be impossible for us to tell whether the food you're getting hasn't came from another table & re-cooked to save money. If you think the owner would care, think again!!! To our server & the owner, shame on you & your service! You don't deserve to stay open & I hope the Department of Food & Safety will pay you a surprise visit & fail so you won't continue to serve bad quality food anymore.

Garlic fried rice, fried egg, and a hearty serving of grilled sizzling hot meat of your choice. Apparently this is the breakfast I never knew I was missing, and can order anytime during business hours for under $10. Woo! Definitely a fan. I've read some of the mixed reviews by others. Personally I haven't experienced the poor service I read about; when that happens I feel like sometimes certain people put out a vibe they end up getting poor service. I'm not very demanding, I put my order in, expect yummy food within a reasonable amount of time, and expect to be able to flag someone down when I need something else. I've experienced that here. The other poor reviews I felt were made by people who didn't understand what they were actually ordering. Filipino garlic fried rice isn't like Chinese fried rice but with garlic...Check this review for some education on the subject: yelp.com/biz/house-of-siâ€¦ If you like pork, beef, meaty dishes. You should definitely check this place out. You are bound to find something that will have you rolling your eyes to the back of your head, and you will come back for more.

Typically I would never eat at a place like this, did not seem like they are up to par with cleanliness, but I was starving and this place was close to DMV. Their chicken adobo was not made for human consumption. I was served a majority of bones and chicken skin, i could tell it was heated in the microwave because half the food was cold and the other half was warm. I can not believe that this establishment takes people's hard earned money an in return serves this type of food. I will NEVER eat here again.

My four stars is mainly for the Kamayan experience that you can do. For those who don't know, "kamayan" basically means to eat with your hands. In the PI, this is normal, but here in the US, it's a novelty. They basically cover the whole table with banana leaves and dump all the meat, fish, lumpia, rice on the table along with a delicious assortment of traditional sauces and side dishes like eggplant, fresh mango, and chopped tomato and onions. Then you just dig in with your hands and get down grubbin! YUM :) I will say, the sisig isn't the best I've ever had. And yes, they are called House of Sisig. SERVICE: I've been once when it wasn't so busy and the service was decent. I've been when it was busy, and it was horrible. Took like 25 mins to get shanghai lumpia, and each dish we ordered came out spaced out within 10 mins, so we didn't get to enjoy all the main dishes at once. They kept forgetting us, and I felt like a lot of other tables were getting their food before us. OVERALL: If it wasn't for the kamayan, I probably wouldn't come back. But yes, it is really fun to do kamayan with a group. Just be careful which day you come. Fri/Sat nights get the busiest.

The sisig might be awesome but the service is poor. I even called in for a pick-up and they told me to hold and then never came back. The whole time I was on hold I could hear them talking... then I hear a click. So I call back and I told the guy what happened and no apology. He just asks what do you want and then all we have left is sisig. Tried to avoid the bad service by doing a pick-up and it apparently extends to their phone service. All I can do now is laugh.

This is one of the few Filipino restaurants that has contradicted me..., I've always preached to everyone how Filipino food/cuisine is ONLY good home-cooked; ya know straight off from your Maaa's or Lola's kitchen. The first time coming here... I remember there was a pretty pack crowd. Luckily we got seats just on time when it really did. We got the menu and made our decision on ordering their Sisig (pork), Kalderetang Baka, and rice. Sisig: Good and different, was served on a sizzling plate with an egg on top for you to mix/scramble together. Although it was good, the onions was kinda overwhelming for me. Portion wise... HUGE! Yes, there was two of us eating, but we sure did take the last overs to go. Kalderetang Baka: Now if your wondering, "WTH is this?". Just to put it into a description, it's beef stew that has a pinch of spice assorted with vegetables that's based in tomato sauce. This was pretty good too, there was more sweetness too it, than a pinch of spice. The beef was tender, and diced into pretty big size pieces. And yes, had to take it to go also because there was more left than what we had ate. Rice: Yes, I have to judge the rice... I'm very picky when it comes to the rice that is being served to me. SERIOUSLY! Rice was good, fresh and white the way it should be. 4 STARS: 1 the AUTHENTIC-NESS. 2 for their HUGE portions. 3 price is CHEAP and waaay reasonable, WORTH IT! 4 for the complimentary Calamansi Juice from the waiter, Thanks!

My cousin ordered food at this shitty place; he had ordered a couple of stuff already to go. One of the orders was an order of LONGANISA--this is where it gets irritating--they weren't LONGANISA's at all, they were regular sausages that you wou get at a SAFEWAY or most likely at a COSTCO and marinated in sugar and other longanisa spices to pass it like it was LONGANISA! What a F'd up place, all for the sake of trying to save money. This place is a disgrace to the filipino community. They will close down one day--and I hope it's soon--because of how they run their restaurant and how they treat their customers.

Lots of seating. Has a parking lot. Food was great! I love the kamayan banana leave plated, but they shouldn't charge for that. Food was well-seasoned. Very affordable.

For a place called "House of Sisig" you would expect Sisig to be their specialty. So OFF. It was overly cooked to the point where more than half of it was burnt. Staff was kind enough to ask how everything was and then gave our feedback to the chef. The chef responded back in a yelling manner upset about our complaint rather than feeling apologetic as if we can't hear him. The staff member returned to us apologizing though. Honestly, if it weren't for that lady checking up on us, getting our food quickly, and her apology, this place would have gotten 1 star.

Came here for the first time with my boyfriend a couple of weeks ago. I saw the Kamayan and wanted to try it and so I did. The portion was huge and can definitely fill you up. My boyfriend ordered the sisig which he thought was alright. I'm a sucker for a good filipino place and I try to find the best in the area just in case I am craving home cooked meals. We always compare it to our family's cooking though and nothing beats that, so i'm still hoping to find one that can come close to is. So...the eggplant that they served me was cold and the staff was not friendly AT ALL. I didn't even see her smile once. I work at a restaurant and poor customer service can make you not want to eat there again. The bbq on a stick was great, the fish and everything else was great. I loved the kamote que but i can always make that at home. OVERALL: We will bring my cousin and our friends here to see how they like it and i hope the customer service improves if not i don't think i'll come back!

I'm only reviewing their take outs. I call this place every I'm around the area and craving for Filipino food but don't want to cook it. I know every one has their own preference on how they want their pancit, lumpia and sinigang... these were the things I always get from them. I like them.. I call and it's ready for pick up within 15 mins. I remember eating in years ago but I think they need to up their site a bit. the practically empty fridge and their counter area is not very appetizing. Maybe they'll have more dine ins if they make their place look pleasant just like their food.

Last week was my first time dining here and also my first time eating Filipino food in a Filipino restaurant. My friends who are Filipino always wanted to show me good Filipino food, so they finally brought me here. At first I got kinda worried because there aren't many veggies in their dishes. I was also worried that I may not like the food because it's all new to me. I ordered the Sisigsilog, which cost about $7 something. They give you charred pork, 2 eggs, garlic fried rice, diced jalapenos, and diced onions. Overall I thought it was tasty and exceeded my expectations. My buddy also let me try some of their lumpias and it was good except the skin was so brown that I thought it was baked and not fried, heh I suspect the frying oil was too old. The people who worked there seem friendly so far, hopefully still friendly if I ever go back. Overall it's not the best or super great but just OK good and I'd only come here once in a while, not often since it's obviously not healthy. I recommend this place to people who want to try Filipino food but has not had the chance to.

I went in and ordered two half-trays of pork sisig before 8pm on a Wednesday. I was asked multiple times if I needed it "right now" like they didn't want to do it. The wait was about a half an hour and when it was time to pay, the lady at the counter repeatedly told me how much it was like I was gonna run off with the food when I was only waiting for her to finish helping the customers who, by the way, cut in front of me. She didn't even tell them that she was helping me first. Yeah, the sisig is good but the terrible customer service is a definite turn off. A piece of advice, if you don't want to serve half or full trays of food after a certain time then put up a sign to inform your customers. Save the attitude.

I had a sisig craving. So I figured.. come to House of Sisig.. right? No. NO. Nooo. Don't come here. It was a weekday at about 2pm. There were 2 other parties in there. I came in and ordered one pork sisig to go, which I paid for right away. It was awkward ordering.. the woman was giving me strange looks and the young guy was staring. Maybe it was the sweatpants and the beanie? Humph. I sat down and started to play on my phone for quite a while. I was waiting for over 20 minutes for sisig.. I kept looking up and they kept ignoring me. And 30 minutes in, I had it. I got up, went to the counter and asked where my sisig was. If I would have know it was going to take this long, I would have asked my mother to make it. The lady replied, "Oh, yes, did you pay already?" .... -__- I finally got my food 5 minutes later. I drove home quickly, because I was absolutely starving. And I get home... scooped it on my rice.. and it was COLD. The meat was COLD. The sauce was cold. Not even tepid or room temperature, it was downright cold. And I was livid. It took me less than 10 minutes to get home, so I KNEW it wasn't me. I called the lady and I told her that I just picked up a to-go order and it was cold, like someone had just taken it out of the fridge. She claimed that it was all freshly cooked and that it was just the sauce that was cold. I am not sure where she got this explanation, because when you cook sisig, the sauce is the pan juices. Which obviously comes from the pan fresh off the stove. I kept asking her why it was cold. And she said that the sauce they use is sitting out. She said that if I wanted to drive back and get a new batch, that I could.. but being close to 3pm and that being my first meal of the day, I refused. I did not want to drive back. She should have offered to deliver a new one. She then suggested that I MICROWAVE it to make the sauce and meat warm. And I was like OBVIOUSLY I will have to do that, since you gave it to me COLD. I was so turned off by her attitude. Completely rude and unhelpful. I was furious, since I had been having this craving for quite a while now. I wanted sisig so badly. Who in the right mind gives a paying customer an old dish that had been sitting out in the fridge? No way I am ever supporting this business. And now all my friends, family, and Yelpers know to NEVER come here. The service is beyond abominable. Even Lucky Chances will do a better job than this.

Some of the food was good, my favorite was their pork sisig. I did not expect the place to be small. The service was good though I found a baby cockroach crawling around on the chair beside me I was dismayed because of that.

I find it difficult to eat out at a filipino restaurant when my kitchen is 10 feet away. However, the upside of doing so is that I don't have to deal with the mess that comes with preparing the down and dirty pinoy food I love. Eating in, and getting the kamayan meal for 3, I recall vacation days in the PI. Food was great! Definitely a fan of how they prepared their calamari. All in all, I came to eat, and that's just what I did.

The sisig is getting pretty bad. Last couple of times its been cold when ordered to go. Also the sisig is chopped into strange chunks instead of nicely diced squares like itnwas before. Goto ongpin if you want quality sisig

Today was the LAST time I will come here. Pro's: the food is good (the only reason I have given them several chances). Con's: service is terrible--the waitresses we've gotten have always been unfriendly. Our waitress gave us the most annoyed look when we asked for some soy sauce, a refill and/or a to go box. The food takes so long to come out, and they have always forgotten a part of our order. *ICING ON THE CAKE: At the end of our meal my little nephew went to the bathroom and came out really excited to share with us that he almost caught the mouse on the floor... WTF!?! Your food is good, but it's not so good that I'll put up with rude service, slow service and resident rodents that have been there so long, they're no longer phased by humans.

DVS A.

Ok came here to order food to go, the service suck big time. The lady told us to wait but then help a customer then went back to sitting down WTF! Anyways after telling her that I am ordering food to go, she just handed me a menu basically with an attitude. Order pork sisig - too salty, talk about high blood pressure or ordering extra rice to balance it. Beef Steak - Pour it in a dish and it was like soup. My beef was basically drowning in way too much sauce. (I almost thought they gave me soup instead) Chicken BBQ stick - too soft that it almost tasted fake, looks like they marinated overnight in baking soda. What I think really killed it for me is that half the people inside were eating on the leaf table (filipino style, no plate, no fork just using their hands) all the tables looked like a total mess with food dropping on the floor, kids basically food painting their faces, old filipino man blowing his nose and then going back to picking the food with his hand YUCK! So gross!! How can people stand eating in there?!

Sara O.

DON'T EVER ORDER THE "Pancit Miki Bihon" WITH CHICKEN!!! It's gross! Pancit is very similar to chow mein: it's a mixture of noodles, meat and vegetables. I chose chicken as my choice of meat and oh-my-goodness was it disgusting! Their chicken taste like un-refrigerated chicken scraps boiled in water. (What ever happen to marinating the meat?) The pancit also comes with shrimp but those were very flavorless and small. I expect BIG, JUICY, PLUMP prawns...not scrawny, miniature shimplings. Uhhg. Unsatisfied customer.

Tasty food, BUT this would be first & last time to eat at this restaurant. This place is dirty and a chaos. Servers are very unorganized and forgetful! Took more than an hour for the first entree. Rice was forgotten & had to ask for it 3 times. 2nd entree was served when we were about to leave. Horrible experience. They prioritize large groups first even though we got there first. The lady with very thick make-up at the cashier has no customer service skill at all - no eye contact, no greeting, no smile, no thank you. I wouldn't be surprised if your business don't last....

Lorelie O.

Food was okay... The WORST service!!! 30 minutes of wait time before we got seated even though there was an empty table that could seat 7 people, they were not going to seat us at that available table because we were only 5 & "not" 7, when my husband said that it does not make sense why not & my kids are hungry; When finally seated, I asked the waitress for five glasses of water but after waiting for it for about 15 minutes, I finally got up and got the pitcher of water & glasses myself from the counter; another wait for them to take our food order & same waiting game for our beverages to be served! After we got done eating, we just wanted to get out of there, so instead of playing yet another waiting game, I decided to get up & asked for the bill.....ready to pay after reviewing the bill, the cashier was VERY RUDE, bad attitude & no customer service whatsoever! HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE & will NOT come back to this place......definitely NOT recommended!

This place is pretty good. nothing on my mom and pops cooking, but its a nice substitute when im craving pilipino poods. The sisig is kinda different everytime I come in. not bad tho. The silogs are yummy. I like the sinigang na baboy fa sho. the fried chicken is kinda salty, but you smother some Jufrans on that biatch, and boom. instant gratification. We ordered some crispy pata as well. get ready for a triple bypass, but damnnn that shit is on point. just cant eat too much otherwise you're gonna a blockage somewhere. haha. good spot tho!

I ordered take out one night here and it wasn't that bad. For the price you pay here, the portions are huge, but it wasn't GREAT like other Filipino food that I have had. I agree with some of the reviews below about service being not so great and I only ordered take out. Here is what I ordered: Sinigang na Baka - The chunks of meat was really dry and tough. I only ate one piece and tossed all the other meat cubes out cause it was just too hard to chew. I don't think my bf liked it either... he didn't even get a second bowl (and he loves soup!). Adobong Manok - I don't think this dish was made that well, of all the chicken adobos I have ate in my life, this one was by far the hardest to eat. It is as if they smashed all the chicken bones and tossed it in a pot, every bite had small pieces of bones which just kept hurting my teeth every time I took a bite. The lady at the counter did say she was running low, so maybe I got the bottom leftovers which had all the bones settling. Note: if they said they have enough for one more order... don't order it, you'll just shards of bones which makes eating this dish unbearable. Pork Sisig - Way better than Sinugba's Sisig! This was by far the best dish I had from house of sisig... hrm... name should say something right? The portions was twice the size of Sinugba and the price was way more reasonable. It wasn't too salty, had enough peppers to give you a kick and it just overall was the only thing I liked eating that night. I also ordered a pancit dish, I don't remember the name but the dish had tons of flavor, but I think the noodles were over cooked. It was semi mushy.

I came here with my friend for lunch. I've never had Filipino food before so I did not know what to expect. The restaurant was located in a random area of Daly City. I expected it to have a lively, cultural atmosphere but was very disappointed when I walked into a small, wood paneled room. I decided to try the sisigsilog and lumpia . My friend had been raving about their garlic rice - which comes with the silog dishes - and lumpia insisting that I'd fall in love with it after my first bite. He was right. The lumpia (or lumpiang) had a nice consistency of crunchiness from the outer shell mixed with softness of the pork filling. It resembled mini-egg rolls except with a meat filling. It was delicious with the sweet and tangy dipping sauce which made the dish even more tasty. My friend couldn't stop eating them! =) My sisigsilog was better than I expected. There were huge piles of garlic rice, finely chopped pork, raw onions, and fried eggs. I am definitely a new fan of garlic rice. The mixture was tasty and the garlic didn't overpower the rice. At times I thought the rice was a bit on the salty side. Moreover, the pork was grilled perfectly so it was still tender and it was the perfect with the onions. The dishes were huge enough for to-go boxes. I'm a big eater and my to-go box looked like the food hadn't been touched even though I ate a generous portion. The service was so-so, we were forgotten most of the time. The waiters casually walked past us without paying any attention to us. Our waters were never refilled and it took a while for us to get our check and to-go box. This was the perfect conclusion to my "frazzled" afternoon. I would definitely return to try their other dishes, specifically their silog. It's perfect for small gatherings.

I love finding food that makes me feel more ethnic and in touch with my roots. Finding that Fil-Am bbq was closed yesterday (however, they were apparently open on Thanksgiving), I decided to bring Stina to this place that a co-worker talked about before. Basically, I've seen HOS dozens and dozens of times, but it's not a place that I would just go to by myself. Good thing I had Stina, who has a very adventurous pallet. So, what to order: SISIG of course! Stina ordered the sisig silog and I got the pancit (Filipino style chowmein). We ordered 2 diet cokes, and the bill was $24 (including tip). Lots of leftovers...perfect at 3am. Sisig is grilled meat that is diced up, served with rice, jalepenos, 2 fried eggs, and onions. YUM.

I felt like a kid back in the Philippines, getting to eat with my hands and having banana leaves as my plate. The portions are generous, and servings are usually family-style. I've only gone twice, but I'll definitely go back to try the other entrees.

If only it weren't for the service, I would really love this place but NOPE! I'm not gonna lie. I've been here PLENTY times because I love their lechon kawali, sisig, and laing BUT damn, their service sucks! I get it. It's a laid back filipino restaurant so it's a given you're not gonna get five star service...which I'm not expecting. But really, you see us sitting here for ten minutes without menus, you ain't doin anything but talking to your co-worker...can I please get some water at least? And how the hell are you gonna serve a filipino (especially an Ilocano) kare kare and give me bagoong 15 minutes later? There is so much more I would like to say, but lets just end it there. To the workers at House of Sisig: You guys really need to look up the word hustle.

I am very saddened that I am writing this bad review. The other day I ordered sisig on the phone for lunch and the person told me that it will take 5 to 10 mins. When I got there the cashier told me that its not ready yet and it will take 3 mins. Both cashier looked so confuse when I told them that I ordered on the phone. I asked if they processed my order and they both looked at each other like they don't have a clue. I didn't mind the confusion and waited for the food. Then when I was about to pay they told me that theres a minimum of 15 dollars if I were to pay by card. So I was forced to order a side of porkchop over rice to meet the minimum. Due to the additional order I waited for another 10 mins. It sucks for me because I was on lunch and im losing precious lunch time. Before ordering on the phone I looked up their number here on yelp and I read all the bad reviews about customer service. I told myself that It won't be that bad since im just picking up. I was only in there for about 15 mins and during that 15 mins I definitely sensed their horrible customer service. The cashiers are snobbish with poor customer service ethic and horrible attitude. When I got both of my orders I was really happy that I can finally walk out of that place. Little did I know that my NIGHTMARE is just about to start. When I finally opened the sisig and started eating it I felt this really crunchy, hard, sharp object in my mouth. Immediately I spitted it out. It was stainless like BRISTLE! If it was hair, I wouldn't mind! But SHARP BRISTLES?!?!?!? I think it's from the brush they use on the grill(hopefully). Its not one bristle, it's a ball of bristles! HORRIBBLE! I WILL NEVER COME BACK! I could've died! Since I was at work I couldn't go there right away to return their nasty food. So I called them and the person who answered the phone sounded very familiar with my complaint. It kind of gave me the idea that they had some before. According to him the manager was not in. What kind of restaurant that operates with no manager on site. I told them that i`ll come back around 7 when I get off work. When I came back after work I had the bristle ball in a zip lock bag for preservation of evidence. I gave them the food and I showed them the bristle in the bag. ALL of the workers looked at me like im weird. The cashier wanted to give me new sisig. Are you kidding me? NO I don't want that! Instead he gave me refund. What I wanted really was not the refund nor food, I want them to be more AWARE of whats in their food! The county of san mateo needs to do some serious HEALTH INSPECTION on this place. Since the manager was not on duty that day to hear my complaint, I hope he/she reads this. I really hope the owners and managers does not take it out on their cooks. Its not their fault! Its your equipment's fault! I really hope this will get the owner's attention. If the owner does not act, more reviews like these will be posted here because more customers will complaint due to bad service.

ATTENTION! To those that are unfamiliar with Filipino cuisine; the dishes are cooked with a lot of oil and/or deep fried. If you can get pass that, it's really pretty hearty; and not just for your arteries. The food is very affordable and they always give you monstrous portions! My favorite is the chicken adobo rice plate with a side order of lumpia (egg rolls). However, It's a shame that after my meal, I'll get a food coma.. zZz

I admit, I haven't had a lot of filipino food other than in the PI where it's bomb!! My friends are die-hard lovers for filipino cuisine, so we made a stop here (one of their favorites) and I must say, I was very very pleased! I really only have a handful of favorite filipino dishes and tocino is most definitely one of them! So obviously, I ordered the Tocilog combo and geeeez, the portions were HUGE! It was delish and I was a happy camper. For dessert, I tried the Buko Cha-Cha - vanilla ice cream topped with tropical fruit, gelatin, rice crispies and coconut milk -- yummmmEEE! Service was good. Place was pretty clean. Reasonable prices. The place was half full on a Sunday night, but there were plenty of take-outs. I'll definitely be back again cause heartburn has never been more worth it! :)

The bf was craving sisig one day after work so we decided to give House of Sisig a shot. I wanted a silog, so I ordered a Longsilog. Got a Tapsilog for the nieces and the bf of course got his order of sisig...to go. Hot dogs ARE NOT longanisa. Not even when you try to make it the same burnt orangy-brownish color. It just is NOT longanisa. I'm pretty irritated that they would try to pass it off to me as if it were. As if I wouldn't notice? As if I'm not Filipino and have been eating longanisa since I can remember? I dont know why I got served hot dogs, I didnt even see that on the menu. If they were out I would've have rather had them tell me that, I would have gladly ordered something else. Tapsilog- I had a bite from my nieces and it was good. Tapa nicely marinated and and not overly cooked. Sisig- Good, but for this item to be your chosen namesake it should be great. And to me it just wasn't all that.

I been here many times to eat some good sisig and silogs. So I decided to bring a friend who's not from the area to try out their food. This would be our first time doing "kamayan" at their restaurant. Kamayan meaning eating with your hands. We had the Kamayan for 3, I forgot what it was liked though. So it came with lechon kawali, fried fish, shrimp, lumpia, grilled squid, bbq chicken, with salty eggs, rice, tomato and mangoes with vinegar, bagoon? and banana cue. I liked all of it minus the shrimp since I am allergy. Even kamayan for 3, I was still full already. But anything eating on banana leaves I am for it! I like this restaurant just for the kamayan, sisigs and silogs. Plus its closer to home so I am down for some filipino food if I am lazy to cook it. =)

Drove there and found out the man at cashier had unhook the business phone line. Did I mention horrible attitude???!!!!! * Ordered the food @ 6pm for take out. 7:20pm...still waiting. It's just 2 x Pancit Bihon?!

After doing a little shopping and running errands with my mom dinner time was approaching, but we both didn't have any specific cravings. My mom then metioned House of Sisig. Ahhh yes...you can never go wrong with Filipino food to satisfy a (non)craving. We walked into the small, casual restaurant (probably seats 25-30 ppl) and were seated right away. Since there were only two of us, we decided to go with the rice dishes rather than family style. Being House of Sisig, my mom went with the sisigsilog (marinated pork pieces served with onions and jalapenos) and I asked for the chopsilog (grilled or fried pork chop). I hear some of you: "What the heck is a -silog?" Well, it's a dish with your choice of meat/fish accompanied with garlic fried rice and fried eggs. I consider it a staple for the Filpino diet. The kind waitress warned me that my grilled pork chop was going to take a while, "15 minutes," she said. "That's fine," I told her with a smiley face. Boy, was I going to regret those words. 15 minutes passed, 20 minutes...okay, now we were getting hungry. My mom finally got her plate of sisigsilog. WOW - the plate was definitely too small for the amount of food they put on there! A heaping mound of rice and piles of meat, onions and jalepenos and a sauce on the side intended to pour over the meat (photo uploaded). I couldn't resist and picked off my mom's plate. The rice was as garlic-y as it should be, and the meat was so flavorful it almost made me forget that I was still waiting for my dish. Minutes later, the waitress comes out again and informs me that the grilled pork chop was taking longer than expected. What the?! Couldn't you tell me that 10 minutes ago when my mom's food came out?! She explained that they have a small grill that cannot handle all the grilling they were doing that night in a timely fashion. I guess everyone was ordering the sisig, their signature dish, which obviously took precedence over my measly grilled chop. Not wanting to change my order completely in fear of them getting confused and/or me waiting even longer, I decided to go with the chop fried. I ate more of my mom's dish to keep to calm. My annoyance level then lowered just a bit - I got my plate in less than 5 minutes and I had 3 HUGE portions of pork chops! They weren't deep-fried as I expected, probably pan-fried. The traditional vinegar and garlic concoction was the provided sauce for my dish. Alone, the chops were OK, but the vinegar is a must to bring the dish to that "OMG this is so good!" level. You also have to break the yolk over the rice to get the full experience of any -silog dish. Trust. In this case, the quantity and taste of the food (slightly) made up for their slow service -3.5 stars. WARNING: only come with family or a significant other that you have been dating for a few years if you're planning to have garlic rice. Your breath will unavoidably be hummin' for the rest of the night!

Not worth your money! I went to this place last week, and it took the server 20 minutes to take my order when there were only 5 people in there, and another 15 minutes to get my very salty and nonedible bistek. I took one bite, cancelled the rest of my order, and walked out! How can the cook screw up cooking bistek?!?! WTF. Oh, and the slow service was due to prioritizing the owner/manager's guests. Here's a small tip: if you want to keep your paying customers, maybe you should cater to their needs as well. Will never return to this place EVER!!! If you want better tasting Filipino food, go a few blocks down the street to Fil-Am BBQ. There's a reason why the line is long! Their food is actually edible.

Food is delicious! I love this place... But the attitudes I don't. Yea sorry I didn't bring cash... Sorry my total was $9.78... Sorry I didn't have the minimum of $15. But don't give your customers attitudes when they are grabbing a menu to add on to the bill by saying, "oh, well I'll do it this time, but we have to pay the fee for YOUR order!" well I didn't ask for you to do that and I'm pretty sure I WONT BE BACK even though I love this place.

Lots of negative reviews already. I wish I'd read them before showing up at their door because those bad reviews are TOTALLY 100% correct. The service is not just poor, that would require that they even tried to serve you at all. I can't talk about the food because, after trying two different occasions, I never got as far as food getting to my table.

I've eaten here twice.... Restaurant overall **** Food: ***** The sisig was delish--- reminded me of home--- Atmosphere: *** The place was kind of hmm-- not so clean, the same fly that we saw here 3 months prior to the day we ate there was still in the window crack-- and as far as i know it's been there for a while... Service: **** My husband and I had a quick lunch break there-- Called in our order, we got there and our table was ready, and the nilaga and sisig were still hot.... My only advice is that you need go there knowing place is kind of dirty, the restrooms are gross, but the food is goood and would recommend it to everyone.

No wonder they call this the HOUSE OF SISIG (; My fam & I go here every so often to get our FilipinoFix. And boy, do they fix our fix. Sago Gulaman? Oh yeah. Silogs? You knooow it. Sinigang? It makes your heart saaaaaaang. Laing? Eh, not that spicy but it's still alright. Other foods that my fam doesn't order 'cause we just don't? It's probably bomb too! Overall, this place is makes you feel the filipino love. On top of the great food, the servers are super nice & always looking for ways to make your experience somethingworthwhile. Something that makes you wanna come back to this House! Yayers.

If you're in Daly City and craving for fantastic Filipino BQ, this is the place to eat! The service is really friendly and they'll do anything to accommodate large parties. House of Sisig is not a fancy or lavish place to dine but, its simply a momma & pappa establishment cooking comfort homestyle food that speaks volume! The number #1 food item on the menu is the Sisig (marinated grilled pork) w/ chopped onions/jalapenos served with garlic rice and topped with 2 fried eggs. It's definitely a hearty meal and it'll keep you well nourished throughout the day. The other item one must try is the Lechon (Roasted Pork- similar to Vietnamese Thit Heo Quay). The pork skin is so crispy and the pork meat is absolutely juicy! The portions are truly generous and their prices are really affordable. I honestly recommend anyone to try House of Sisig over other Filipino establishments such as Kuya's, Toppings, or Patio Filipino if you're craving Sisig! H.O.S.'s serves only the edible parts of the pig...absolutely, no pork brain!

Lechon over rice....on hit! Sometimes a little bit of a wait but well worth it.

Im from the east bay and not a lot of filipino restaurants exist near my area so my family and i tried House of Sisig. I must say the location was kind of ghetto in my opinion and it was next to a dominos and a grimey chinese restaurant which kind of made the location sort of unclassy to me as well... But anyways the food was great, though sometimes the sisig can be a little over done or kind of burnt. I still enjoyed it. The service was sort of poor, because i ate here various of times and i dont understand why theres only one waiter/waiteress... I guess theyre saving money than hiring to make their service much better. i really prefer the chichiron bulaklak... (pork flower) haha. Though unhealthy its so damn good!!

I've only been here once and I just ordered the Calamares to-go... and it sucked. Maybe it would've tasted better with marinara sauce instead of vinegar. Next time, I'll actually sit down and eat a proper meal so I can give a better review.

Paul G.

I dont know why im giving u guys 3 stars, the urban myths say this place was or is ran buy partners of onpin, the food doesnt really reflect that... well here is my gripe is when i orderd i orderd 2 alacart orders and i understan the pricing but why or how could u guys charge $2 per order or rice for a scoop of rice. wow... i would understand if it was garlic rice but $2 bucks for white rice...

A Filipino restaurant in Daly City? Brilliant!!! As my fiance and coworker would say or order, "i'll have the Beef Steak, please." Translation: "i'll have the bistek pls." The sisig is very tasty as well. They have like 3 or 4 kinds of sisig which is fantastic. I should give this place 4 stars instead. Take away 1 star cuz they don't deliver, gad dammit! Make me call and drive and pick up my food! Geez! This place is always full of people going in-and-out with their to-go orders. I truly believe their to-go orders supersede the patrons that come and eat in the restaurant. It's that good. You know you're in a good Filipino restaurant when all patrons and the to go orders come from Filipino's who are too lazy to cook Filipino food cuz it takes too long to prep and cook Filipino food.
(5)
Beth W.

Yum! Bistek and miki - bihon (noodles) are definitely my fave dishes here... If you're craving some homemade Filipino food, definitely stop by here!

Mike K.

have good food here but horrible service. Twice not once, walked into the business. No greeting No nothing. Waitresses walking around, look at you but don't bother to tell you to wait or anything. Learn some customer service! Once we sat down for dinner, they took a long time to take our order or even come by to say Hi. Once they took our order, they forgot our water. We had to ask a second time. Lousy service if you ask me.

They're not called the House of Sisig for nothing. They have the best Sisig in the world! Bar None! Atkins dieters need not apply. You gotta have steamed white rice with this goodness. Don't do garlic or fried rice with Sisig. You need steamed rice to harness all the flavor. I bet people fly from the Philippines to eat their Sisig. I know I know. I've heard the Sisig in House of Sisig is not authentic. Well, I tried the Sisig in the Philippines and uhhmm, I'll just have to pass on it. I usually order to go because I like to tear up my Sisig and Rice with a Coors Light. Get two orders to go becuse it's one of those rare foods that still tastes good after being microwaved. I've dined in before and it was a little too cozy for me.

Pancit tastes like the instant pancit I had in the Philippines. Smells exactly the same too. Just added some more ingredients to it. Sisig tasted like a canned sisig I once bought in the Philippines. and that's NOT how sisig should taste like. Other couple of stuff were alright. Huge portions for the price. But other than a very limited non-meat entries and maybe breakfast choices, I felt like I paid 8-10 bucks for somebody to cook an instant dish readily available in groceries. But the folks were very friendly and nice. They just added 1 star there.

Malou C.

FOOD - is alright nothing extra ordinarily special, again I cook so ordering filipino food only happens when my laziness occurs thus we have to resort to going to places like this. Oh and the SISIG looks like menudo cuts to me, they dont do it the way it is supposed to if you guys have been to Pampanga which is a place in the Philippines were sisig is famous for you would know that the sisig they serve here is a far cry from what the real one is I dont even think that they cook it the way its supposed to...yes I can cook this too. Its funny how food that have been pre-cooked can still take 20-30 minutes before it can be served... CUSTOMER SERVICE - SUCKS!!! the thing is this kinds of restaurants only happen to have Filipino customers, and the same reason as the other customers have in coming here is just that they crave for the dishes which they themselves dont have time to make. Seriously, I have been to say about 4 different restaurants like this the only one that has at least a very good customer service is Kuya's but the rest from Goldilocks to Ihaw Ihaw to Fil-Am all their customer service sucks all they really wanted is to make money. There is even one restaurant in Mission that sells TURON but taste like FISH because they fry the both dishes on the same oil (Filipino business back home style to cut cost). I have been here for 5 years and most of the American friends that I have met here kept egging me to take them to a good Filipino Restaurant to my dismay there is none yet that I can be proud of to go to (because they are usually picky about customer service and the quality of food).

ASIANDIVAH A.

Oddly, their sisig is NOT the best sisig in town! And there are not a lot of variety of sisig in the menu. However, I like their sinigang, crispy pata and chicharon. Not as busy and as crowded as other Filipino carinderia. Will go back here again but not that too excited though.

BTW...if you eat at House of Sisig. Prepare of mouth full of cuts either by burnt sisig or fragment of adobe chicken. Thanks for the memories.

Boodle Fight Dinner - My Review for House of Sisig Have you tried eating without utensils? Yeah, eating without spoon, fork or knife (steak knife if you will) and plate. You read it right, without a plate for yourself. Yes, with only your bare hands... and that's how House of Sisig serve their dinner. Of course, this is only an option along side with the usual plates, spoons, forks and knives. The whole table is covered with banana leaves prepped on fire/flame to make it more flexible and not shred easily. The food is placed in the center all together. I guess we had at least five different dishes plus the mouth-watering side dish of tomatoes and not-so-ripe mangoes with fresh onions and salted egg. Their vinegar with pepper and garlic is so flavorful too and great for almost everything. Although we're only five, we ordered the "Fiesta" which is good for six people. We had "inihaw na pusit" (grilled squid), "inihaw na talong" (grilled eggplant), "lechon kawali" (crispy deep-fried pork belly), fried catfish, chicken bbq, lumpia (rolls), "adobo" (how do you put it in English? Lol). I personally like the "inihaw" (grilled) stuff and "adobo." The rest are good too but basically, the selling point here is the Boodle Fight style of serving food. Boodle fight is a way of eating normally done by military people especially during training. I guess this is more cultural rather than procedural in military sitting. Culturally, we, Filipinos, love eating with our bare hands especially during picnics, or in the beach and of course at home. It is our expression of being intimate and personal with our food. "Mas masarap yan pag nagkamay" (it tastes better if eaten with bare hands) is a familiar line among us. "Masarap" (delicious) not only literally but the overall feeling of being one with our food. We, as a race, love food and made eating a social gathering, a way of sharing ourselves to our friends and visitors. Most Filipino families share their best stories -- the events of the day, what happened at work or school, announcing achievements and anything exciting and joyful -- over food. And when you share food in the simplest form, and that is eating with your bare hands, is a basic hint of closeness and comfort with everyone's presence. Should I mention absence of pretensions? It was a great dinner with my friends, a great sharing of stories and knowledge... We're so comfortable sharing food in one table without boundaries created with plates. I guess that is one major requirement to go eat boodle fight style. Invite your friends to House of Sisig and see who you're comfortable sharing food in a more intimate way. Dare?

Good Filipino Food. Love the Lechon Kawali, Kare-Kare and mmm...If you have room for dessert, wait who doesn't have room for dessert! Halo-Halo and leche flan is yummy! Plus the owner's daughter is HOT!

Patrick C.

Only had their chicken adobo to-go and it was pretty tasty (I guess for take-out??). The lumpia was soggy when I got home (live a few blocks away). Not the best Filipino food I have ever had but pretty good and this place is close to my home. It was priced reasonably as well with huge portions.

Lucy W.

food is okay. service is just terrible. i'm not one to complain, but if i have a CLOSED menu on my table for more than 5 minutes (and the restaurant isn't even busy with 3 servers), then they've already ruined my meal experience. i was so livid that my bf had to order for us (which is a rarity since i usually like to order). i should take the cues of other patrons and just do take-out.

Myna T.

I took my sisters visiting from L.A. to this restaurant (my first time too) recommended by my nephew. He said we will enjoy the "kamayan" menu - got there and the place felt filthy - small is okay, they could at least make it look better (repaint the walls). The food was okay - but i will not give it 5 star, I had better. Service was poor - when the order was served to us the fish was uncooked...items missing from "kamayan" menu. I spoke with the manager to let her know that I was unsatisfied with the service and her response was "we're short on staff" instead of making an effort to make the customer feel better - she made excuses for the poor service. She had to blame others instead of owning the responsibility - what kind of a manager is that? She needs more training - and if you are the owner, you should treat your customers better and be pleasant to deal with. Customers will come back if you have great customer service...

No, I'm not kidding. You're not reading it wrong... there really is a restaurant called "House of Sisig," and of course it is equally fitting that it is located in Daly City. But onto the food. We ordered sisig, of course. The waiter asked if we wanted just sisig or the "sizzling sisig" (that was a mouthful to say). We didn't even know there was a difference! The difference is that the latter has an egg on top. We went with the original. Not bad, comparable and served like the sisig you can get at Ongpin in South San Francisco or at Kuya's in San Bruno. For our "vegetable" dish, we ordered pork sinigang. The broth was nice and tangy and they had a hefty amount of vegetables and pork. Sometimes places go heavy on the meat and not the veggies, so this was great. If you're looking to get your "fix" of Filipino food with some old friends and you don't want to go to your parents' house to get it, I'd recommend this place.
(4)
Tracy T.

This is my first Filipino restaurant that I have tried for sisig. My Filipino friend said that it was not like authentic sisig, which consists of other pork parts besides just the meat. My bf thought the greens that came with our rice/pork were bell peppers, until his mouth started to heat up. Haha. Overall, it was an okay experience.
(3)
Tim L.

The sisig is worth the potential diabetes. Kare-Kare is generously portioned. My only complaint is the service, I felt like I had to stand on the table to get the waiter's attention, which was odd since it was a small place with only a few customers. Still a good place for sisig.

Mike D.

The name says it all! The Sisig is very good... The Silogs are also pretty good...that's the only thing I go for when I eat at this place! Nice people, parking is good too.

Rich Y.

I will never come back to this place.... Food took forever to be served and it was not that busy. had to ask for our drinks twice and when they did bring the drink they had an attitude. They served our sinigang in a plastic bowl that had stains on the bottom . And the rice was wet. This was the second time i ate here and will be my last. Do your self a favor and go to another place........
(1)
Helen L.

I should preface this by noting that I DO NOT have a picky palette. So... Perhaps it is because I am not Filipino so my standards are much lower... or perhaps it is because we are lacking in the selection of Filipino restaurants here in the East Bay that I give this place such a high rating, but I personally think their food is better than decent. Their sisig is absopositively delightful. I've tried traditional Sisig, and yes, true, House of Sisig's dish differs quite a bit... but even if their pork is barbecued/charbroiled, it's barbecued/charbroiled to a tee. No complaints here, but everyone's tastebuds will sing a different tune. The restaurant itself is your typical Asian place of mediocre dining: worn seats, stuffy air, florescent lighting, scratched-up plastic dining-ware, and loud kitchen staff. But while it's no 5-star restaurant, the dishes are more quality and more elaborate than what you'll find at Goldilocks. Whenever I'm in Daly City, it's the first place I think of when my tummy's rumbling... if that counts for anything. :)

Jodi P.

decided to give this place another try and it's still bad. took forever to get our food, a customer service is baaaaad. food is mediocre i don't know how they got a "people love us on yelp" sticker. they probably stole it from somewhere
(1)
CINDY K.

If only Graceypoo were with us, Bernadiva and I probably would've tried more dishes. The first time I came here Grace and I had 3 dishes! As it were, we kept it to a veggie dish w/squash & beans in a coconut milk sauce, and a chopped fried pork w/a grilled whole japanese eggplant and raw onions. They weren't bad, but I think Grace or Bern could make the dishes as good, themselves. The onions gave us gas. If only Graceypoo were with us, she probably would've gotten into some long-ass conversation w/the counter guy in Tagalog and we'd have ended up w/free dessert or something. But since Graceypoo introduced both of us to House of Sisig and their down-home, classic filipino food, and we kept bugging her on her cell and text messaging her...she was really there in spirit.

Michi R.

I've always wondered about this place and I finally decide to try it. I went there in the afternoon and got the pancit which was very good. The portion was big and the flavor was definitely there. I took it home and enjoyed it very much!! But, when I walked in I was given very funny looks. Being that I'm not Filipina it seemed that I was an anomaly to them. I felt a bit uncomfortable with the guys who were working there staring at me up and down, they seemed somewhat sleazy. But, the food is good, take it to go and enjoy the authenticity of it.

the sinigang was super sour and not in a good way. we diluted ours with water, and it tasted just right after that. the crispy pata was okay. pretty much... we've had better for a cheaper price.

Richelle Mae R.

Ready for another artery-clogging adventure, my friends and I pigged out at House of Sisig last night. We thought it was a good way to feast (after Easter) on pork so we ordered Lechon Kawali, Sisig and Pork Adobo. Food is okay, well, good I think. I haven't eaten home-cooked Filipino food in a while so anything with toyo or patis taste good to me. Adobo was kinda salty and sisig tasted not so SISIG-Y, just ---ISH. Lechon Kawali was fine, though I just took four bites from it (I was already full). Parking is good. Prices, reasonable. Service was great. But the food, (I know my friends are gonna kill me for this but...) I can only give three stars.

Lately, we've been taking relatives from out of town here and they love it! The sizzling Pork Sisig- topped with raw egg and served with onion and jalapenos on the side- is the dish to order. Mix everything and chow it down with their garlic fried rice and MMMMM, you're set and guaranteed to be hooked on HoS-for reals! I'm not a big meat eater but lately, I've eaten more of the sisig than my usual order of Fried Bangus. Weird, but yes, it's that good! Other good stuff on the menu are: BBQ pork, ribs, and chicken; Crispy Binagoongan pork; Fried bangus; and Sitaw (string beans) and Kalabasa (squash) in coconut milk. Oh, the Sago and Gulaman and Halo-halo are sooo good too! The staff here is very friendly, accomodating, and they love to chat. They mentioned that one of their cooks is a native of Pampanga (If you're 'flip', I think this is why their sisig is da bomb and so are the rest of their items). They also mentioned they're expanding their area. Apparently they have recently bought an adjacent space next to the chinese restaurant...very good news as it's getting to be quite crowded at HoS lately.

Allie W.

Lol maybe the next time I come here I'll get the sisig x3 My boyfriend actually brought me here one day for lunch. He got a breakfast plate and I got the chicken adobo. I haven't had it in so long, and it wasn't too salty, and there was more than just chicken breast on my plate omg it was so perfect... We also ordered the chichirone. When it came we had no idea what it was and asked the waiter if it was the correct dish. I guess we're just used to seeing the bagged pork rinds x3 I didn't really like what my boyfriend got, he had something with sweet sausages. I'm not particularly a fan of sweet meats =(

Spanky M.

Pinoy food snob Edit: Much like the owners who are SUPLADA! Totally pretentious new money bores. Typical Filipino type of deal that shows in the service, slow, and could give a shit. If ti weren't for the sisig I would NEVER come back. PLease someone tell the fat bitch in the glasses to take a hike her snooty atitude towards american born Filipinos is unacceptable. Maybe I will just find a better sisig house. So the pancit is Eh, I could do better The Sisig is pretty damn good...keep it real and go for the sisigsilog. Adobo....is pretty rubbish Lumpia...ehh I think they buy it frozen Crispy pata...decent Calamansi juice..oh yes Halo-Halo....so empty not worth it The tapasilog....is OK I thinnk they need to marinate and dry the meat longer and not burn the piss out of it when they fry it up. I have yet to try the langonisa.....will do with a longsilog though and edit . All together a great value for the food, and the most authentic restaurant of the three i have tried in the bay area. So for you non-flips who crave the Soul-food of the orient this is a good value. For the one lady who was put off by the looks...sorry Flips are notorisouly racist/prejudice and were probably taken a back by you being there. Thats how i feel when I walk into a KFC in rural southern USA. relax you dont have a boogie stck'n out, they just can't figure out why a non-flip would venture in by themselves. For the others, if you are daring do it up lone star style, stick with the sisig or the rice, egg, and meat dishes on the front page (~~silog) which means. Youe choice of meat (TAPa, LONGonisa, TOcino, etc), SInangag ( garlic fried rice), itLOG (egg). For anyone else bring a filipino friend tell them if you have any food allergies and let the fun begin.....just be glad HOuse of sisig don't have diniguan (pork blood soup).

Michael J.

Absolutely terrible service. Came with five people and we waited fifteen minutes for our appetizer of lumpia and water which was almost bearable. My friends order of the tadyang but didnt get his order of garlic fried rice. We didnt get another order until forty minutes later where we just weren't hungry anymore. I noticed that we didn't get any of our food until other filipino families had finished coming in. Never come here unless you order ahead or have a Filipino speaking person with you. Otherwise just avoid this completely.
(1)
Dana O.

Anyone who has ever tried a homemade lumpia has been on a quest for a real lumpia in a restaurant setting ever since. You've had spring rolls they call lumpia, but it's never that same meaty goodness. House of Sisig is awesome. I think we spent about $14 on 2 meals and a huge plate of lumpia. The adobo is great (as expected) and the sisigsilog is also pretty good. You can actually get a fried egg on anything there and the portions are huge.
(4)
Lucas M.

A friend recommended this place for the Sisig. Since I was in the area, I had to give it a shot. I ordered the Sisig & Rice plate for me, and the Chicken & Rice plate for my wife. I enjoyed mine, which was fried diced pork, topped with fresh onion and jalapeno, served with garlic rice. My wife thought the chicken dish was a bit salty. Overall a decent spot, but I'll continue looking for a great Filipino restaurant.

Rokayah S.

I come here with my family to order take out...I was curious because they call their restaurant, "House of Sisig." I do love sisig (except I don't eat pork). Unfortunately...I could only give them one star...Actually, I should give them no star at all...Why? Read on: Their name does not say anything about sisig. FYI: they only have Bangus sisig, pork sisig, and squid sisig. Only three kinds. Why bother calling their place, "House of Sisig" when THEY ONLY GOT 3 KINDS OF SISIG. Like what I have said before, I came here to try. So I ordered lomi soup (no pork), fried tadyang with bbq sauce, and their bangus sisig. Then, I asked how long will my order take? So, the cashier told us...15 minutes! WRONG!!! My order was ready in 45 minutes. "Oh boy!" So, I left with my take out. Five minutes later, I have to go back to the restaurant because they gave me a pork sisig, I have to wait another 5 minutes. I left the restaurant with BIG DISAPPOINTMET! THE STAFFS NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR THEIR MISTAKES, SLOWNESS, AND CULTURAL UNKNOWN. Why cultural unknown? I believe that if you're a restaurant and you're situated in the bay area (HELLO DIVERSITY!!) you should at least figure that some customers don't eat pork, nor beef, and some are vegetarian. If you're a vegetarian, this is not the place to be...too much meat in this place and there is no alternative! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYBODY!
(1)
James G.

Disappointed. I came here expecting to have a nice sizzling plate of Sisig. No dice. How can you have a restaurant called House of Sisig and run out of your signature dish??? They also ran out of crispy pata (deep fried pork knuckle)! What? I guess this can happen on a Friday Night so I'll give them another chance. My family did proceed to order everything else on the menu mostly to disappointment. The only shining star was the Lechon Kawali - Broiled (or deep fried) Pork - This is deserving of 2 Stars. The Kare-Kare (Peanut Butter Oxtail Stew) was generous but flavorless. Nilaga also not so good - flavorless. Pancit - so..so. Sinanag (Garlic Rice) bland. All the Filipino comfort foods were so disappointing... Prices OK. Credit cards (Visa/MC) accepted. Parking seemed to be ok across the street at the convenience store (7-Eleven?). Came to eat here on July 28, 2006 and it was foggy & freezing!!!

Fred P.

I love this place but I have to get this out... I had ordered my usual of pancit bihon and sisig. After eating like 80 percent of the sisig I found GLASS in my food. This is the only negative thing I have to highlight. All of the food is good...Parking is around the corner.
(3)
Ramon L.

Yo...I bought a gangload of food from H.O.S. for the Pacquaio fight and it was off the hook!!! This is some of the best Pinoy food around. The sisig is my favorite but check the crispy binagoongan & bbq chicken. Thanks for the hook up...Esther & Lynn!!!!
(4)
Glenn G.

Great place for what else...sisig! Not too greasy and you mix with your own desired amount of onions and pepper and soy sauce. I'm sure they have other good items on their menu but I've only really tried their sisig since I get it to go. One of these days, I'll eat there and try some other food. The ambience isn't great but it's cheap and it's good. Update - December 1, 2007. We ordered a lechon from House of Sisig yesterday and it was very good!

Lizzie S.

Went on vacation in the Bay area and family & friends took me to this place - very cozy and family-oriented restaurant. There were sooo many foods to choose from, we pretty much ordered everything! Of course we had sisig, which was my first time tasting it and it was SUPER YUMMY! I couldn't stop eating it. We also had the calamari - big chunks and crisped to perfection. They don't give you cheap small portions and the prices are very affordable. Whoever said they were a lil' pricey must've be kidding themselves! You can get a real great full meal cheaper than most fast food places. Owner and owner's son were both there the night we came - very helpful and friendly. Big plus in my book! We enjoyed the food so much, we went back 2 days later for breakfast before flying back home. The tocino and eggs over garlic fried rice was heaven!! Highly recommended!!!

Lauren R.

I had a party and ordered a tray of sisig. I had about 20 dishes on my buffet style shindig, and this one stood out the most! Everyone was asking where I got it! $45 for half tray and $90 for full large tray which feeds about 50-60 people.

Alex S.

I met a friend here today to checkout the Flip food in Daly City. Its a plain and simple place. The food was pretty good. We ordered Pancit, Sinigang Baca and Baboy Adobo. The portions were very generous and the staff was friendly and accommodating. I would love to come back to try more goodies. I highly recommend this place if you like Flip food!

Cloudy P.

slow service, very loud crowd, and very busy! wth... ok so the only reason why people comes here is because they feel like home eating on top of that banana leaf. next time ill go 99ranch market

Carmen M.

Sisig is good...no frills - just meat, pepper, onions, and some soy sauce, vinegar, garlic mixture you pour over the sisig....yummo!! The kamayan experience will be good, complete with the banana leaf as serving plates.

Reuter A.

We come here quite often but not anymore. Our experience with the waiter here was terrible. The food is great but when the service is lousy, you do not even want to go here anymore. We ordered sisig and sinegang and 4 rice. Well, we fell short on the rice so we decided to order more. My family of 4 can eat but when a family of 8 came in, the waiter just forgot about us. I guess he got excited about the group of 8 that he figured he will be getting a lot more tip by assisting them 1st with his utmost attention. Well finally after 10 minutes and reminding the cashier about the extra rice we just decided to pay the bill and not leave a tip. Im very disgusted about their service! Come to think of it, my wife even saw the waiter drinking a bottle of beer while working. that just shows how they care about their customers.
(1)
Hagow C.

Not bad. Went here with lots of friends. One said the shrimp wasn't fresh. I was hungry so everything seemed good to me. Service was ok and not rude. Prices are probably on the high end as filipino food goes. Adequate parking. I would still go again.

ManOverboard A.

I love Filipino food, but I don't get to eat it very often. I should just cook it, but I have too much stuff going on... Anyway, the past couple of times I've been in need of a fix, I've headed over to House of Sisig. It's a little different from the way my parents cook, but that's to be expected and I've yet to be disappointed. So far, I've tried the topsilog, longsilog, pinakbut, sisig and pancit. I'll probably go back to try some more dishes. The only cons I can think of right now is that it's too far from my house, the Mang Tomas and Jufran are always dangerously close to being empty and sometimes there are flies - with this last one, I just pretend I'm in Manila and it can't be avoided...HA!

Hellz yeah I love their sisig* (scroll down if you want to know what constitutes this dish)! I love their crispy binagoongan too....but ONLY in SMALL QUANTITIES! I hate the service. How in the hell are you going to make my halo-halo (mixed sweetened fruit in crushed ice with evaporated milk and ice cream) WAY BEFORE I get my main course? They didn't even offer to re-make my dessert, so all I got was this unappealing/unappetizing soupy mixture of blehh. *ultimate Filipino beer food: Sizzling Sisig--actually contains... parts of the pig's head, e.g. cheeks, liver, chicharon, raw egg, maybe some brains, calamansi/lemon... this stuff is great with tabasco sauce too)

Became a fan! I ate here the last time I went up north and I think it was the last meal I had in frisco. Pretty good selection of Sisig; they got traditional sisig and other sisig that you might have heard/thought of. its good stuff though.

I gave this place a try not really being too familiar with Filipino cuisine and I figured out it's just not really my fave type of food. It was also too greasy for my liking. Nice staff however.

Their tapsilog and calamari are my favorite and are both so stinking delicious! I just hate that whenever I leave this restaurant my clothes definitely reak of Filipino food.

A pretty good place to eat for filipino food in the area. Prices at this place are cheaper and more reasonable than others for the quantity of food you're getting. Though this place is named "house of Sisig", i wouldn't say their sisig is really the best i've ever had, but they do give generous amounts of food. The vinegar is just a bit too strong, there isn't a good balance of onions. I usually order out from this place for take out. Two ala carte orders, usually sisig and crispy binagoongan, will be enough for 4 people and some. This will only set you back $20 if you decide to cook rice at home like my family does. The waiters are nice and seem to show they care more than putting money in their pockets. Overall, this is good place to check out if you're craving some filipino food.

I was really hoping to give it 5 stars for quantity / fair price and to those who think its overpriced - nah...you're just CHEAP! Look at Gerry's grill price if you want overprice. Portions are good cause I seem to have leftovers and quality is good. Im filipino & Pampangan at that so I have credability to have an opinion. Tocino / Garlic rice and Sisig was fantastic and not too greasy. Pancit Bihon average. Gotta try the rest and update my review. Ok so for the loss of the 2 stars ** ATTENTION EVERYONE ** The server (feminine filipino guy with the loop earrings& dyed hair) was eating his lunch behind the display glass on the service counter right off the serve trays and just picking out which food he likes with the fork that just came out of his mouth and using it in the food thats gonna be served to people. That shit is f***kin disgusting and I dont play that sh**t here...I would expect it in the Philippines or when no one is looking as I think we all know most servers do....But not in plain sight in the Unites States!!! PEOPLE make sure you order outside of that service tray area PLEASE!! Being filipino I love to support my peoples and their business ventures but f**king do it right!!! U need to fire that disgusting lil fu**ker! Its Daly City and not Philippines...THERE IS A HEALTH CODE STANDARD!!!

House of Sisig???????? Please! get real! Doesn't even come close to the real thing. If you happen to be in Angeles City in The PI, try the sisig there and you'll know what I'm talking about. Their BBQ has the same taste like every Filipino restaurant you go. Mama Cita's marinade. Yep! That's right folks. Now available at your local friendly Island Pacific Supermarket.
(1)
Jonathan M.

As a filipino, I've definetely tasted better...however, the workers are very friendly and they give you a descent portion for the price you pay. Every dish doesn't have the same quality though...some dishes are really good (like their sisig), and some aren't that appetizing (their longsilog).

Peter C.

One of the best Sisig I had. Love it.

Jeffrey B.

The food is alright, but i like how the booths are all separated by walls, i thought that was cool. The prices aren't so bad but my only problem with the place is this one guy who works there, he has such an attitude, i don't get why every time i go there, he seems to be having a bad day or something. Anyways, the place shouldnt be called 'house of sisig' if sisig isnt their specialty, also, dont order the Halo Halo, the angry man gets mad every time someone orders it, he's so lazy. EDIT: they removed the walls, now you're forced to look at everyone!!!

Caroline E.

typical hole-in-the-wall filipino joint. closest thing to mom's homecooking and that's saying a lot. my favorite dish is the beef caldaretta. it is SSSOOOO YUMMY! they recently expanded their restaurant so there's more seating available. i'm pretty picky when it comes to filipino food and this place gets 5 stars for taste, that's for sure. the sisig is also really good. my favorite is the squid. the cool thing is they're also open until 10pm, which is good when you don't feel like fast food that late at night.

Chrismond R.

Haters, haters, haters... but I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion. So here goes mine. First, to the non-filipino's out there, let me explain the difficulties of Filipino food. There is almost no standard barometer for how a single dish should taste. Sometimes the sinigang is too sour, sometimes not sour enough. Sometimes the adobo is too salty, sometimes the vinegar is just too much. It all depends on where you come from I guess. You go to certain filipino restaurants to satisfy your taste and cravings for specific dishes, at least I do. Now, that being said... When you're craving sisig, this is the place to go! Hands down the best Sisig around. I don't really recall how good the service was, but let's be real now. Filipino restaurants aren't known for the greatest service. And also, when you're ordering desert, make sure you tell them you want it after the meal. (to the person complaining about getting soggy halo halo) People in the PI are starving, you think they give a shit if their desert comes first or not? They don't give a damn what order they get their food, they're just happy to eat. Ok, you can say that this is America and they need to conform, but we come from a more privileged point of view, we can be understanding right? I'm losing my point. Point is, if you want sisig... some, "make your house smell like delicious sisig for a few hours", come here!

Vince S.

besides the fact that my longsilog was nice and lean....and the garlic fried rice was delicious (but it may be WAY too much garlic for most people's tastes)....this place SUCKS. i've had much better filipino food. probably in my own mother's kitchen. while the halo-halo was worth it once i got it....it took nearly 30 minutes for it to come to our table!! 30 minutes!! they ran out of evaporated milk....and didn't tell us until i went up there and complained!!! the service is TERRIBLE. and we had to go up and ask them for our check. we should've just walked out. the menu is large...but really...we must admit in these parts....there's much more places to be had here.
(2)
Dijonne M.

I, along with friends and family, used to come here ALL the time. We were crazy about the sisig over rice. Nowadays though, we aren't so much. Don't get me wrong, the sinigang, sisig and adobo are still good, but I feel like they always skimp us! It's probably better if you eat there, but take-out is always a for sure rip off now. Calamari is decent, def not the best. Their lechon kawali also used to be good but not the greatest either. =/ The staff can be awkwardly rude at times; One time I had my husband called in an order, then after giving the order he asked what the total would be. The lady on the phone says, "Well the sinigang is about this much and adobo that much, can you just calculate it yourself?" WEIRD! Anyhow, I come to House of Sisig as a last resort now if we have nothing else for dinner and are in the mood for Filipino food. I just think the prices for what you're getting is a bit high!

i went to sisig late in the afternoon. i ordered a pork sisig and they gave me fried fish. i was really surprised but my friend said it was no big deal, it was a mistake, and to just eat it. then a family came in and they ordered. they gave them the same fried fish. they said they didnt order it and the man said it was good and that they should just eat it. i realized then that the waiter purposefully gave us whatever was left in the kitchen and it was not a mistake. i was not happy. i told him afterwards that he should not give people the wrong order and that he should be up front with what they have left and ask us if we want it. he just giggled and laughed. that was so rude! i am still really upset that he tried to trick me and he giggle when i tried to tell him i did not appreciate it.
(1)
M.J. P.

This place is the worst!!!!!! This was my first time here, and after ordering three dishes for take-out, I waited...and waited...and waited...then 45 minutes later, they finally called my name! WTF!!! I asked if it always took this long and the response, "we're in the middle of a shift change, blah blah...your order slip wasn't placed in the correct area, blah blah...this is our busiest time, blah, blah." Their suggestion, "Don't come in between 4-6pm". Of course, I did come in at 5:00pm, but come on! They are in the restaurant business! Give me a friggin' break. I know I should've left after waiting over 20 minutes, but I was desperate for some sisig....shame on me! I will not come back and I suggest no one else patronize this restaurant either!
(1)
Bernard V.

All the food here is simply the best in my opinion except for their sisig? It is quite good too, but how come so lean? That is not so Filipino, but knowing you can order their calabasa & sitao without coconut milk, I came to believe they care so much for their customer. I really think so, maybe they can lower the price of their calamsi juice?
(5)
Berna T.

We came here on a random Saturday and ordered just two dishes and a side of Garlic Rice: Crispy Binagoongan and Sitaw-Kalabasa with Coconut Milk - both of the dishes were pretty good, large portions. Maybe it's just my tastebuds, but I found the Binagoongan to be too salty...but perhaps that's just the Bagoong. Anyhow..this no-frills restaurant is decent, but nothing outstanding.

house of Sisig lovin the food but the bitch behind the counter has a fat ass atituse like you are bothering her or something . but other than that the sisig is bomb. but if you come face to face wit Medusa behind the counter jus ignore her bitch ass

Bert T.

This little hole in the wall place makes a delicious Filipino dish called "Sisig." It's made up of grilled Pork or Chicken soaked in a special sauce (vinegar and garlic based) mixed with Jalapenos and Onions (both of which can be ordered on the side instead of mixed in). It goes great with rice or bread. It's a small place so don't expect to bring a family of 20. I suggest getting the take out bowl of Sisig for $8 and you'll be loving the stuff.

geneive j.

i kind of love this place.. it's close to home, there's virtually no wait, and the garlic fried rice is WONDERFUL. i've tried most of the things on the menu and it's all pretty good. it's not mama's cooking, but i've had waaaay worse elsewhere. unfortunatelty i have to take away two stars for thier horrible service. every time i have gone there, they screw up my order somehow. i don't get it. i feel cursed. :( but i have to tack a star back on for being a mom and pops spot. you just have to appreciate stuff like that.

XoXo X.

I was too lazy to cook cause I worked yesterday. I was craving Filipino food too, but I wasnt feening for the silog type. I asked My Xo if there was some cheap Filipino Fast Food and he suggested to go to the House of Sisig. I dont think I have been here before & wanted to try it. So we arrived at this joint & was immediately seated. Our waiter served us water & asked what we wanted to order once we put our menu down. I must say that they have a better selection than the Lucky Chances menu that I'm used to. My Xo also mentioned that this place was renovated. They used to have booths but took them down. I ordered the Chicken Adobo Plate with Mango Juice & he ordered the Sisig Plate with Calamansi Juice. Our drinks arrived first. My Mango Juice was too sweet & I watered it down. Then my order came next. The Chicken Adobo looked darker than we expected. It was probably a 1/4 portion of a chicken, small bowl of rice, shredded carrot pieces & a cucumber on my dish. It tasted a bit dry & had the usual Adobo taste. My Xo's plate followed after a few minutes. On his plate was Sigig, chopped onions, chopped jalepenos (which you had to mix yourself), bowl of rice, shredded carrots & cucumber. His plate looked appealing than mine, so I took a spoonful of Sisig to try. It tasted better than my Adobo. We did finish our plates. We were debating whether to have dessert or not. Our waiter didnt really check on us since there were only 2 working at that time. So, I went up to pay & ordered a Halo Halo to go. The only ice cream available was Vanilla flavor. Okay?? We have never had Vanilla Halo Halo before. Minus 1 Star for not having Mango or Ube Ice cream!!

Ashley T.

My in-laws come here almost every Sunday afternoon, and I have grown to love this place. I must say that it helps that I am with my in-laws, as they are Filippino and I am white. Otherwise, I'm sure the service would be quite different (and I,too, get lots of looks from patrons and staff alike even with my husband). The sigsigalog is wonderful--I could eat the entire plate easily. The pancit is also very tasty, especially with the lemons that accompany the dish. I also enjoy the beef soup quite a bit. My complaints? It is a bit pricey--we had 4 dishes and it came to $40 and we only drank water. Two, it's soooo cold in there no matter what time of year. However, we will continue to go unless something changes.

C S.

This is place is somewhat..ok. We usually just go there for the sinigang. I'm not very fond of their other entrees because it doesn't taste or look like it or what I'm used to. I don't know if they are to experiement on their food items. Not too sure what they are going for. The workers there..depending who's working...can be nice..can. do a lot of staring. One thing I do not like..the food takes too long and when you finally get your food..it does not come in a group..you'll get one item...and then wait for another 10-20 mins for the another entree or if you're lucky get all your entrees the 2nd time around. I do like the water though..DOES NOT TASTE LIKE TAP WATER! I'm a big water fan! I could actually recommend other filipino restaurants to go to.

Ezduzit S.

I don't know if you can trust my review cuz I'm not Filipino. I didn't grow up eating this cuisine, but I have worked in nursing facilities close to 10 years now. As you may or may not know, it seems most nurses in the bay area are Filipino and when they have potlucks, they go to town boy!!! All you can do is trust is my palate. I come here about once every two-three weeks, but I usually get the signature sisig or tocino. My experiences with other dishes haven't compelled me to reorder them. My young tastebuds prefer my GF's mom's or auntie's dishes. Overall, a nice hole-in-da-wall.

LOVE it!!! This place has good Sisig! I keep on going back for more. It is so good, and they're pretty quick once you order. I ended up coming back twice in a row this one weekend, because I was craving it so bad! I have yet to try the other dishes, but believe me, I'll be back to try them all.
(5)
Teddie M.

Very disappointed with this one. I was really looking forward for the Sisig. Afterall if the place is claiming it's the house of sisig then one would figure the sisig would be good, right? Well not so much. So I had lunch there with the one that must be obeyed and we ordered the pancit palabok, the pork sisig, and one of my favorite pulutan (other than sisig) chicaron bulaklak. Maybe it's because I didn't have a San Miguel with it but both the chicaron and sisig were just flat out not good. First, the chicaron was burnt and I don't know if they just didn't clean it well but it was a bit funky... and yes I know what chicaron bulaklak is made form and it doesn't have to be funky at all. The sisig was edible but just barely (one must be hungry in order to eat).... also where's the egg on top? Finally the pancit, again it was ok nothing to write home about. Probably won't go back, even if I was in the area.

JulieAnne L.

Not sure of the haters on this thing either. I agree with one of the posts that talked about different barameters for Filipino cooking. Nothing is as good as home-cooked, but this stuff comes pretty close. Especially the sisig. The pork sisig with onions and peppers is GOOD over newly cooked rice. Everytime family or friends have a party, it's a guarantee that there's a tray of sisig from this place on the food table. They have decent parking, too, in the lot across the street. Only thing I don't like about the place is that they don't have normal seating pads for the booths. Other than that, food is pretty good at a very fair price.
(4)
Aboc J.

Sisig was precooked. My fault for not going back in to the "sizzling version". 1 order plus two orders of steamed rice to-go. Sisig packed into large plastic cup with diced onions and jalapeno peppers on top. Sisig was cold and had more fat than I would have liked. Combo of vinegar and soy filled the bottom third of the cup. Ain't coming back. Want some sisig? Go to Kuya's in San Bruno.
(2)
Ray R.

standard filipino fare - silogs and stuff. the sisig is just alright. it's more like a pork chop, chopped fine, with onions and jalapenos...i call that americanized sisig, definitely unlike the sisig back home. their fried chicken is good, and my friends say that the crispy pata is good.

Louie C.

Their Calamari was alright but i was disappointed in what I originally went in there for, Sisig! Go to ongpin instead. People said that they share the same owner but Ongpin is sooo much better.

Marleen C.

This dive has pretty good food. I used to think Ongpin's sisig was the best until I found this place. Their food portions are generous and pretty tasty.
(4)
Katrina C.

The food is pretty good, but it can't compare to some of my family's home cooking. The quality here is a little inconsistent and some details are sometimes overlooked. My friend and I had ordered the same thing one time and for some reason the orders came back different, she got garlic rice but I got a bigger portion, but the food is still good. The sisig is definitely not traditional, but its still really good.
(4)
Candy T.

love the fried pork but the beef stew was too dry
(3)
Peter G.

Okay, so I come here for the tocilog, longsilog, bbq pork and sinigang baboy...not the sisig even though I think it is okay. Servings are very ample and I am always full leaving this place. The establishment itself is not that big and there is no decorations per se, but the service is decent and the people I have dealt with are friendly. Price is about average, but to me but the dishes I mentioned are worth it in my opinion.
(4)
Rachel P.

Bomb-a** Sisig! Never ordered anything, but that. Like the other review said- white rice is great with this! No need for anyother rices all the flavor is in the entree. My stars are based solely on that. I must've tried other peoples dishes and was pretty upset. So SISIG it is!

Tin-Tin M.

same kind of food (maybe even same recipes) as ongpin on the otherside of the highway. i never had sisig like that anywhere else but here and ongpin--really meaty not nearly enough unidentifiable pork bits. but good nonetheless. they have really tasty lechon kawali (deep fried pork belly with layers of meat, fat and skin). tasty tortang talong (eggplant omelette with ground pork) and...deep fried chicken skin! oh it's a heartattack waiting to happen. lumpia here is not bad either.

Ryan s.

Recently just ate at this place. I must say that the food are delicious. But i will agree with everyone reviewing this place. You can kiss the friendly customer service goodbye as they are rude and not very friendly. It's better to order to go if you dont want your appetite to get ruined by bad service. They handle your food like they just toss a leftover food to you. Unproffesional and would definitely not give this people tips. If i can find a better kamayan place where you could eat in a banana leaf i would go somewhere else than this place.
(1)
Maggie F.

You eat with your hands... how can that not be legit? Three things you need to know here: - BBQ (don't bring a vegetarian, they won't have anything to eat) - Everything is on the Banana leaves - You eat with your hands. So this is apparently how they used to do things in the Philippines. Best bring someone with you who speaks Tagalog so you can translate the menu. There's a lot of dishes on the menu, but you want to get the Kamayan, and bring some folks to help you eat it. That's the BBQ party pack and there's plenty there. Usually we order just below the amount of people we have and add 1 to 2 other dishes (depending on how hungry you are). The food that you'll get is a mixture of sides (sour mangos, onions, tomatoes, salty eggs, yams and eggplant) and BBQ meats of all sorts, usually Chicken, Squid, Fish, Pork and of course Lumpia (Egg rolls). Oh and rice. (Hey! Its a Filipino restaurant, rice is pretty much a given.) And you eat all this with your hands. Yes yes you do. They have a hands cleaning station out the back so make sure you use it before and after. They do have forks and you can get a plate if you want to. Just ask the servers, they'll have them for you. But really this place is known for the hands eating thing, so you might as well. Know this. This place does look scary. Its not the cleanest looking establishment nor does it look even half way decent on the outside. But! If you are looking for good fill and a unique experience this is the place to go to. Kinda like being in asia but not actually in asia. They do have other meals too that you can eat normally on plates and bowls, but honestly, wheres the fun in that.

Ken A.

I highly recommend this place to anyone coming anywhere near the city! They have the best Sisig in the area, they're Crispy Pata & Garlic Fried rice is amazing! If you are a #Foodie or a fan of Filipino food then you MUST try this place located in Daly City! Masarap! The only thing I would take away from is that they need to be a little cleaner which is the only reason I took a star away!

Emil J.

This place is NASTY. I was invited to eat here and there was a rat in the main dining room! Hell no!!! And you wonder what's going on in the kitchen!!! YUCK! The employees there- no customer service skills at all! Shut this place down please!!! What a shame!
(1)
Ivana Y.

Despite all the negative reviews, I enjoyed the food here. Granted, it was my first time eating Filipino food, and I don't have much to compare it to. They had kamayan, which is traditionally eaten with hands on top of a banana leaf. I liked the concept, but me being a germaphobe, I asked for a fork. This didn't stop be from experiencing the authenticity of the meal. Will definitely be back if I'm in the area!

Mike V.

Not a Michelin rated but I hope you all knew that when you posted your review. I got what I expected. *Good food (used spoon & fork) *Plentiful portions *Reasonable prices *huge selection *** got the service that was expected on a busy evening, not excellent/perfect, but the wait staff was busy & they tried their best. I'm glad we tried it and would come back for more when my once a month allowable FILIPINO restaurant visit allows.

DEAR OWNER/MANAGEMENT: SHUT THIS DISGRACE OF A PLACE DOWN! You make the rest of us Filipinos look real bad. How can you sleep at night serving food that you yourself wouldn't serve to your own mother?!?!?! I mean, seriously?!?! Would you give your mom or your loved ones the same service you give your customers? Would you watch your mom eat frozen chopped tomatoes and half cooked squid, as you do with the customers you expect to give you a generous tip and a pat on a back?!?! Nope, I didn't think so. Fire your cook, fire your server...and fire yourself for embarrassing the Filipino community who pretty much populates 99% of Daly City. And the only reason why you're getting a star from me is I can't write a review without giving you one apparently.

Fathrizze E.

We came all the way from LA and we were all excited to dine in this restaurant and by surprise I was not happy eating in this restaurant. First, you will notice how dirty the place is, the waiters here are very loud and not pleasing. All we here are the waiter arguing with his fellow waiters about tips. It's very annoying because you can't enjoy your food hearing them talking so loud. Second, we ordered the kamayan special, sizzling pork sisig and combination soup. The kamayan we ordered was to dry, it felt like its been cooked for days already and just reheated, its too oily and the meat is overcooked. The sisig is very dry and very oily. The soup is fine but the "pork" they served in the soup doesnt even have a meat but instead they served the "fat(taba)" which is very disgusting. Third, the restroom is dirty and has a bad smell. This place is horrible, the food they served is not worth tasting. I will never go back to this place again and will not definitely recommend it to anyone. I would rather go to isla restaurant because they serve good food and the price are worth paying. At first When I saw the review I was thinking twice to go here but my husband told me to try it, but I was disappointed. It deserve a one star or less. So think twice before buyingfood here. The place deserve a total gut down. It needs to be checked by the owner and please repremand your server to observed proper service because he is very loud and unpleasing to the customer. It's the bald guy im talking about. They have the worst customer service.

My cousin's family, sister, and I came here for lunch and we ordered one of the family style lunches. It was a ton of really great food that we got to bring home and have as a whole 'nother meal! what's great about their family meal is everything is placed on the banana leaves, so you get that fun experience. the dishes they brought out weren't all fried this and that. Their seafood options were great and delectable. The kiddos enjoyed the fried chicken and lumpia. There were only 3 other parties when we arrived so service was pretty great. They didn't mind the ruckus my niece and nephew caused after they were energized with delicious filipino food

The food is excellent. This is a very small place that can get too crowded. There was a very long wait so our party of 12 kind of hurried up because we felt sorry for the people waiting in line looking frustrated. The reason why I will not come back in this place in spite of their excellent food, is this place is filthy. The moment that you get in, you can smell the rancid grease. The floor is greasy and you have to be very careful because you can slip and fall. Since they offer the "kamayan" option , one needs to go to the bathroom to wash hands. The way to the wash room has the filthiest and stinkiest carpet. Sad to say that after the meals, I braved going to the bathroom again but due to the stench, I lost my dinner. There is no ventilation so when you go out after your meal, your clothes and hair smell like the food and stench from the inside. I am wondering if this place had been inspected for sanitation. Food is 5 stars buy sanitation is 0, but I can only choose 1 star.

Raul M.

Just ok. We had such high expectations for this place. The food really didn't have much flavor. We ordered the family dinner, the variety was good but not anything I would order again. The BBQ had a weird taste to it, I've had better at all of the other places we tried. The sisig was decent. It was interesting that they used banana leaves though. Service was mediocre at best. We asked for to go boxes at the register and the lady gave an irritated look and asked for what? Uh, the leftovers!

This place does not serve real sisig. Their sisig is the driest, most tasteless I have ever had in my life. This is coming from a guy who can enjoy a bowl of white rice plain by itself. My toothless grandma would have an easier time swallowing beef jerky than swallowing their sisig. That being said, their service is even drier than that. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I have given this place way too many chances and it's gone downhill, never coming back. The service is horrible, we tried ordering 3 items and the server read our order wrong back to us 3x! We ordered fried catfish that was served golden brown outside but half cooked & it was still cold in the middle, WTH? The rice tasted like it was reheated from the day before & the bangus singang was more like vegetable sinigang. It's bad enough that I had to get up and refill my water myself, we came out of there smelling like we've been frying food all day because of poor ventilation. Sad what has become of a really good Filipino restaurant back in the day.

My girlfriend and I went to SF for valentines weekend and she insisted we go here for valentines (favorite place when she lived in SJ). I was very worried when I walked in and literally every single table was dirty and had not been cleaned yet. There were only 3 tables being used but service seemed to take forever! Once we finally got seated we basically had to jump up and down to place out order. The only reason I'm giving 3 stars instead of 2 is because the food was delicious and I enjoyed the experience of eating with my hands off the banana leaves. We got the combo for 2 with steamed garlic muscles and it was more than enough for 2 and very very good. To end on well I guess a negative note we were leaving 40 minutes before they closed and they wouldn't serve us dessert! They had that look like "we could but were just not going to because it's late". This should almost lose A whole star but I'll stick with my 3

Huge portions! I got the "Sisig-silog" & there was tons of food on my plate. Delicious too! Next time I might try their Sizzling Sisig because the people next to us ordered this & it smelled AMAZING!!! Also, the woman beside our table ordered "Pinakbet" (veggie stew) & she finished the whole order by herself! So it must be tasty! On my list for next time for sure:) Overall for my first experience my brother & I had a blast. I have yet to try other dishes so stay tuned for more updates. So far...so good.

This is the first time my friend tried this place. The food is good and because you could use your hands to eat ... it's fun eating at this restaurant. The service on the other hand is a whole other story. 1. It took them 10 mins to acknowledge us. We had to wave down one of them to give us a menu. 2. After 10 mins of deciding what we wanted from the menu, we finally got a server to take our order. *worst part was it was the same server I had a few years back, who gave us one of the worst customer service. Right off the back it wasn't going to be the greatest experience. I thought she left, guess not. 3. So much for the 3 min rule after you get your food. No one ever checked to see if we were good. They gave 1 glass of water with no refills because there was no server to wave down to and if there was they ignored you. They didn't provide napkins. I pretty much had to jump in front of a server to ask for more water and to go boxes. But they were pretty quick in giving me the damn bill. 4. When I went there to pay for the bill. Our one time server who also happen to be our cashier gave me a dirty look when I was paying. And the only thing she said let me see your id.

So this place is BS . Yelp says they close at 10pm and then the store says 9:30 and now I'm here it's 8:59pm and they are closed but there are still people inside eating. What kind of advertisement and BS is this? And when I asked if they were open the asian lady waived her hand at me like go away. Ummmm girl bye!

Probably one of the worst services that I've received. They messed up our order twice. The food took 2 hours to get to our table and it came in different times. I had my food an 45 mins before everyone on my table did so by the time i was ready to eat.. my food was cold. From where we were sitting we can see the servers chillen and hanging out while people were waiting for our food. They didn't give us the option to do the Kamayan. I do say that the food was good so if your willing to weight the pros vs the cons try it out.

I've been coming to House of Sisig for years ever since its grand opening and rarely had any bad experiences with them, except for the occasional slow service. I've never done a review for them, but when I went to House of Sisig per mom's request two days ago, it was just the worst. When we entered the restaurant, we weren't even greeted or directed to a table. So we sat down and had to wait another 5 min for the menu. Once we got the menu, my mom ordered bangsilog and I ordered kare-kare. It wasn't until after we ordered that the waiter directed us to a different table. It was at this point that I noticed how unclean the restaurant had become. There was still a mess on the table next to us with banana leaves, rice and untouched fried chicken. What a waste. I looked around some more and noticed how their decor wasn't as vibrant as before. After another 8 minutes, our food arrived without place mats. There wasn't a side of bagoong with the kare kare. We had to ask for it. The kare kare tasted ok, but it was too oily and had a strong peanut butter after taste. The oxtail wasn't that good. Not enough meat; too much bone. My mom didn't mind her bangus, hence regretting not getting my original which was bangsilog. Here's the bad part. We took the leftover kare kare home, but when we wanted to eat it the next day, it went bad! It smelled sour after heating it up and it shocked both of us that we might have eaten several days old of food. How could a dish spoil after one day of being in the fridge??? Slow, bad service. Horrible food. If I wasn't so lazy to cook kare kare, I would have cooked 10x better and it wouldn't have spoiled overnight. I will definitely not come back here again. It has a convenient location, but the amount of money you pay for service and food is not worth it.

I love the hole in the wall feel of this restaurant like being back in the motherland. Food was adequate and I got my Kamayan craving solved!!! Place is fairly clean although dust from the ceiling fell on my side of the table before the food was served. This is my 2nd time here and I have never tried the ala carte menu. Some of the dishes other customers had looked tasty, will try regular menu next time.

I'm happy to have discovered House of Sisig the other night, and it's closest Filipino restaurant to where I live, so I can see myself going here often. Whenever I eat at a Filipino restaurant, I usually order my favorite dish, Sinigang na Baboy. I will say House of Sisig's version is pretty good, compared to other versions I've previously had. I like that there's a "shared" parking lot next door, and I was able to get a table without any wait. The service was good and the price was on average typical for what I would pay at other places.

This place has gone downhill. Food taste like it's cooked in old oil. Don't expect to get served all your food at once. I was almost finished with my rice plate before my husband got his sisig. He almost canceled his order because it was taking forever. A large table next to us who got there after us, received some of their dishes before us. Service is not that attentive either. I'm not coming back again.

Forget this place and go try Pampanguena Cuisine. They serve about the same food in the same style but the food at Pampanguena is soooo much better! And the service is a million times better! I brought all my Filipino friends there and they loved it! The last time I went to House of Sisig, the food was good but not worth the money. The server was rude and she gave me the coffee I ordered at the end of my meal when I asked for the check. Will definitely not he back here!

Shannon R.

The food is good but the service is horrible!!! I went there at 9pm when it says they close at 10. The doors were unlocked so I walk in and they look at us hella rude saying they're closed. They should not be in business if they have no manners towards their customers. I would not recommend coming here! Go to Lucky Chances if you want Filipino food. The service is quick and food is yummy!!

Came here to order take out and ordered about 3 a la carte items and an appetizer and also wanted dessert.. However they were out of all desserts except ice cream and they couldn't tell me that until I almost went down the entire list and they said they're all out... I was told it was going to be about 20-25 minutes for the food to be done... Went back inside to pick up and only half my order was complete and even ended up waiting a total of 50 minutes for TAKE OUT!! I asked how much longer it would be until the food was going to be done and guess what the short Filipino lady with brownish/reddish hair tells me.... "They said they don't know how long until it's done, they can't tell" EXCUSE ME??? You mean to tell me I've been wAiting about 35 minutes by now and still don't have a clue. Then I asked her does the people who Are dining in wait this long for their food too.. She said YES (with an attitude) and I find that hard to believe because there was food coming out left and right to those who were seated after I've been wAiting in the restaurant. Guess I'll have to look for another Filipino restaurant to eat at.. Even if they have been in business for a long time and their food is good.. NOTE TO OTHERS: if you plan on doing tAke out order... Order at least an hour beforehand because I was waiting for 50-60 minutes doe my few items

Worst customer service ever. I've been here twice with my bf and both times took awhile for someone to seat us. I would understand if the restaurant was packed, but if there's hella empty tables and we're the only two standing, acknowledgment should be made. What really annoyed me was after we got seated, a couple other Filipinos walked in, but they got greeted and seated right away. A little discrimination...maybe. Not to mention, both times we were seated right next to the cashier area where a screen is put up. Definitely a bad area if you're trying to get someone's attention. Foods just okay and it took forever to come out. We had the kamayan the first time and today we ordered lumpias, tocilog, and pancit palabok. When we got our order they gave us sisigsilog instead of tocilog. I'm not familiar with Filipino food, so of course I didn't know at the moment, but it was hella salty. Pancit palabok barely had any flavor and the lumpias was just eh. Definitely will not be coming here again. Didn't even seemed like we were even welcomed so I'll be glad to take my money elsewhere.

Service isn't the best part about this restaurant. The food is good for the type of service they have. If you want some good Filipino food then you should come here but don't expect good service. Also the restaurant is very small so waits can be long which is why I get takeout. A 3 star rating seems about right from my experience.

Kristie F.

Came here and tried Kamayan for four people -- We had no idea what we really ordered, but I think the idea of having food dumped on your table covered in banana leaf mats and eating food with your bare hands seemed exotic and excitingly barbaric. However, it really wasn't that exciting at all. We had various meats of fried pork and chicken, fried talapia, octupus (or was it squid?). Then you also get servings of cold items -- onions, tomatoes, egg plant, salty egg, mangoes, and sweet potatoes. Add a mound of rice, and various sauces and you are supposed to scoop things together and eat it! All items just didn't mesh well together... Individually, they were just okay... Overall, the Kamayan dish was a little pricey for what it was, and the restaurant itself was a little dirty. I want to try filipino food again! - but I'm not sure if I will choose this place, and probably NOT kamayan style!

You have 2.5 stars bcuz you fail. It's been an hour for my tea and I still don't have it. Rice alone takes the time to roast a pig. I'm not starving.

Looking in from outside it isn't the place you would want to eat! This place has been here for years, you would think they would invest in a lot of upgrades. The only complaint I have is the service. We sat and wondering when will the guy come and help us.. Hmm. But after 20 mins of waiting he finally came over. After ordering, he's missed a few things, and when I asked for extra of vinegar or the mang Tomas it took him 20x's of asking for him to finally bring it. It wasn't like they were that busy, but I think he was just talking to much and having to much fun in the back. As for the food! It was good. Portion size could feed a party of two, depending on what you get. Especially if your gonna have a few in your party and want to experience the feel of eating with your fingers. I would come back again and would bring someone here for lunch/dinner.

Worst filipino food I ever had. you can tell they reuse the oil multiple times and probably for days. The kitchen looks dirty and they don't even have their grade up from the health department. The sisig is too salty and everything else included in the kamayan is detestable.
(1)
Jenny E.

Two stars because contrary to the other reviews we actually had decent service. No stars for the food tho... I've had WAY better filipino food elsewhere for much cheaper. The bamboo mats looked old and rotting, the food was less than sub-par; the SISIG was not sour as it should be, the lechon was a bit overcooked, only decent food was the tilapia we got, the salty egg was disgusting it was overpowering. Really, the service doesn't make up for bad tasting food. Can't believe we spent $110 here for a family of 7 people. Even my parents said they didn't really like the food.

Janice Evita Maniquis S.

Not so good on big groups of more than 10. But the Kamayan is fun. Four of us shared Kamayan for 2 and it was just enough. Sisig is Americanized; I wish it was the pig face but it's still sizzling good. I don't know why people love giving 1 star or less than 4 if it's actually not poor service. Their service was awesome and even rode our joke when we were looking for Tito Boy and Tita Baby. Christian was amazing and took care of us while we were there. Loved the smell of the banana leaves freshly reheated and served to you as a plate. This 0lace has changed since they implemented Kamayan but it's still good just like before.

I don't normally write review, but this restaurant strongly compelled me to give one. I've been here many times in the past cause the food is great. However, as time goes on their service had been DRASTICALLY worsen. It's gotten so bad that I've decided to walk out today. You will find your table often unattended (go get your own water), your order takes an eternity, long line when half of the restaurant is empty, tables are unclean while staffs stood around chit chatting, and don't ever expect a simple smile from your server! I'm sad that I won't be to enjoy the great Filipino food at this place ever again

Went for a 4th of July lunch with the family. We were lucky enough to get a table for 8 right away! (Hint, for large parties you can make a reservation!) This is a small restaurant randomly next to a shopping center. Not the most pronounced place, but it's always the little places with good food. Naturally, we got the sisig, lechon kawali, miki bihon pancit, kare kare all a la carte, and a place of tapsilog and tocsilog. We also got sides of white rice and garlic rice. Some of the dishes came out super quick, some lagged till well in the middle of the meal. It's lunch on a holiday so I get the busyness. Favorites include the lehcon kawali, the sisig, and the pancit. I prefer the kare kare with a more stronger flavor. The tocino was good too, the tapa was a little more dry that expected. I also would prefer the garlic rice more...garlicy? This was a lot of food for 8 people already; we were able to take some left overs home too! Overall a good filipino place to have a good meal with family. I would come back!

If I could give no star I would, but that option doesn't even exist. I'm truly disappointed with their service. Got seated at 7:50pm and another group of six came after us and were seated right away as well. Their orders was taken, they were served drinks as well. It's now 8:26pm and and we haven't been asked if we wanted anything to drink. Group after us are now eating their food. If I could walk out I would.

Recently just ate here. Food is okay, but the service is horrible. Our waiter wasn't even able to give us our third order, we had to constantly remind him that he was missing our other entree. They did not even say sorry or apologize. Probably won't come back.

Forget this place! They have poor customer service. We went there during lunch time and it wasn't busy ( we're the only customers that time). When we entered the place there were three of them sitting on a table, yet they didn't even greet us or said hi. The guy didnt even walked us to our table! They dont pay attention to the customer's needs kuz the staff are always on their phones and kept on chatting with each other. We ordered kamayan for 3 people. We already started eating but they didn't even bother asking us if we wanted water or any drinks!!!!!! Once they served you your food, then thats it! You're by yourself, they won't bother u anymore or ask for ur needs!!! Furthermore, all the staff were quite unproffessional when it comes to their work. we will never ever gonna eat here again!

Both of my sons just landed at SFO from the east coast. One from Georgia and the other from Jersey. I'm told Filipino food is what's for dinner. My friend told me to try House of Sisig many moons ago and I figured today is good as any. We were not disappointed! Their sizzling Pork Sisig , pork Sisig plate silog, tapsilog, beef ribs, and Nilagang Baka were great! I know other reviews here bashed their customer service but I got to tell you... Jack (our waiter) was great! He gave us a pleasant welcome and gave great customer service! I (family) will definitely come back for more. Great food! Great customer service (from Jack)! Good priced Filipino food. Thank you Jack!

House of Sisig is a small hole in a wall restaurant that serves really good Filipino food. What makes House of Sisig stand out from other Filipino restaurants is the fact that they encourage "Kamayan" here. Kamayan (eating with hands), is common with Filipinos and Malays, and the food is usually served on banana leaves! I went here with my parents and my niece during dinner thinking they wouldn't be extremely busy on a Tuesday. Unfortunately, they were and there were only two servers catering to everyone! We ordered the Kamayan for 4 platter (about $52) which came with: - Steam rice - Grilled squid - Pork BBQ - Lumpia - Lechon Kawali - Salted eggs - Sliced mangoes with onions and tomatoes - Grilled Eggplant - Sugar glazed potato (camote-que?) - Grilled Tilapia I think their Kamayan choices are worth it! I liked the variety and they even give you all the condiments you need (Mang Tomas, Sweet & Sour sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, and Shrimp paste) We also ordered two other dishes: - Bangus (Milkfish) Sisig - They gave this to us without any garnishes and I thought they had gotten our order wrong at first, but the gentlemen came back out with the freshly sliced onions, jalapenos, and lemons which you add yourself in order to make it as spicy as you want! - Crispy Binagoongan (to-go) - Crispy meat fried in shrimp paste! YUM! I love this dish! The to-go portion was huge and it comes with grilled eggplant and sliced mangoes & onions as well! We were satisfied with the food! ---------- I see the potential with this place, since they serve good food, but they need to step up their service here! It shouldn't take that long to even start your customers with water and lay down the banana leaves!

Service here is horrible but their sisig is good. I wouldnt get sinigang from here. Their sinigang consists of more fat than meat. The one thing I have to say about their sisig though is that it can be very salty. But overall its good. Be warned the place is a dump I doubt that they frequently clean their tables so be sure to order to go rather than to actually sit there and eat. Yuck.

I decided to introduce my man to a Filipino restaurant & now I almost feel like I could make him forget this experience. Shoulda just gone straight to Jollibees. The food is just okay. A bit bland if you ask me & completely doused in grease: vomitrocious! Garlic rice was not flavorful at all, so lame. If I wanted plain white rice, I would've ordered it. The bisteak was swimming in cooking oil& the pork sisig lacked flavor... Definitely does not compare to home cooked goodness. I've definitely had better. Oh & beware the water has floaties! Yuck! The environment: Extremely crowded. This place is literally a hole in the wall type of spot. Just a ton of tables and chairs in a tiny ass room. It gets pretty loud in there, most of the clientele were so obnoxious and they like to leer at you for no reason *rolls eyes* Service was pretty awful. I understand that they're busy but they need to learn to acknowledge their customers upon walking in. How do you not know there are 2 parties waiting to get seated in your small ass restaurant. Unbelievable. Our server was annoyed the entire time. Don't know why. She couldn't even smile. Everyone else that worked there pretty much would pass by your table as if you didn't even exist. So rude!! Quite the dining experience, eh? I def won't be coming back. Even if the food was decent, the service isn't worth it. Just sayin'. If you've really got a hankering for sisig, skip the atrocious service & head straight for the SeÃ±or Sisig food truck. Seriously, one day you'll thank me for this.

There is one criteria that a lot of restaurants are lacking these days is unique dining experience. Most people go to restaurants solely on the quality of food while some places try to take it one step further. House of Sisig takes us back to the Philippines where people traditionally eat from banana leaves and eat with your hands. I was born in America so this experience is completely new to me. You would see filipino favorites like bbq chicken, tilapia, and tomato/mango. Of course you will not be eating sizzling sisig with your hands, but you get the idea. This place offers a unique experience for everyone who hasn't experienced it before. I recommend trying it with a big group of friends.

Stella J.

Service alone deserves 2 stars. Not the greatest especially since service is slow. Your food might come out cold. Came here for dinner with friends. We decided to eat kamayan style since everyone else was eating that way. We got dinner for 3. The best part was the mangoes. The rest was not my cup of tea. I did not like the fish, or the fried pork. Most of the food was too heavy or had too much flavoring. I would come back when it's slow and for sislog dishes but not kamayan style. Total for 3: $49

Teejay C.

Food is decent. Not bad but not the best either. Food alone I would go back but it's their lack of customer service is why we would never go back. Waiters and waitresses was too busy eating to care about customers. The sauce for our sisig came 5 minutes later. We were never attended too. Customer service is important especially when you're dealing with.....customers. To add to this...my wife saw the cook smash a cockroach that was crawling on the with their BARE HANDS!! Horrible customer service and horrible sanitary practices. I'm not the type of person to just give a bad review. As a matter of fact, I even thought twice about giving this review but it needed to be said.

It's between a 3 and 4 - so more like a 3.5. Good enough for me to go back but the food has some faults to it and the service is good but also lacking - I will elaborate. So this is my first time eating Filipino food and to be more exact - Kamayan. So when we arrive there, the waiter greets us immediately and find a table for us. I felt like the service was very good, they were very patient with us and very friendly. We had a lot of questions about the menu because we didn't know what anything meant. They even offered to take bunch of pictures for us, so kind of them! But one thing they don't bother to do is refill your water. Once you get your food, you're done - they won't bother you anymore, it's all up to you. So we did the Kamayan for 6 people (but there's only 5 of us). So how this works is they serve the food on a banana leaves and you're suppose to eat with your hands. We're too chicken and we asked for utensils and the guy joked around with us because he was like "What!?! You want utensils!?" Here are my notes of the food: Shrimp seasoning (outside of the shrimp) and the pork is good. The catfish and shrimp didn't taste fresh. Overall, I wasn't impressed with the seafood (except the mussels). The mangoes were fresh, sweet and juicy. I like all the sauces, they were good. The pork and chicken were probably the better meat choices. The mussels were AMAZING, the garlicky flavor was awesome (THE MUSSELS ARE A MUST!) The lumpias seemed to be made with chicken and that seemed weird to me for some reason - so that's just a note. Overall, we had a great time and it was a fun experience. Although some of the food was mediocre and some of the food was good, I would still return to this place and get it again. It's also reasonably priced in my opinion for the amount of food we got.

Small place so it's tough to have big groups. Food is ok because you can get the same taste and any other filipino restaurant. Warning. Splitting checks will be a tough task.

My family and I ate here last night (12/1) since we were driving around SF for a bit. My dad suggested this place. We arrived and were quickly seated. We got the "Kamayan" for 3 people. Kamayan is the meal where your plate is basically the tabled topped with banana leaves and choose to eat with your hands or utensils. It was OK.... there were mangos but it was too ripe and the quantity was so small. We even asked one lady if we could have more but she said no. Then we asked the woman that helped us and she gladly gave us more. Um? Other than that, I feel like they give out more vegetables than meats (ie: onions and tomatos). We also ordered a side of sinigang na hipon. That was OK as well... I think the only thing I liked about this place was the traditional Filipino style of eating and the itlog na maalat (salty egg).

Tonie P.

I give this restaurant a -3 stars If I could! The server that served us is so rude and never even checked up on us! And the restaurant stinks and it's so ghetto. They charge you $2 for the "mango juice" when it's really kern mango juice they serve. You can buy those big box of kern juice for $3!!

Oh man, I hate to rag on my people's but damn, they really need to step it up when it comes to customer service. Called 3 times to make a reservation for 12 for my dad's birthday and each time they either put me on hold and forgot about me. After a 4th attempt, I was able to get through. The restaurant itself is very small. We waved our hands, did the the filipino call sign, "psss" and gave a ton of eye contact before we got their attention. We waited 15 min for a menu and another 20 min to order. :( we were there a good 30 min before even getting any water..oh well. Overall, my parents really enjoyed the experience and the food. It was for my Dad's birthday and he said it definitely brought him back to his roots. The food is basically served Kamayan style - eating with your hands on banana leafs. It is the traditional filipino way that food is eaten. The food was amazing, the portions are good and the prices reasonable. People were lining up outside waiting for a table....so despite it being a very small restaurant and the terrible service..if you are looking for authentic, delicious, filipino food, this place is worthing checking out. Get the family meals, it has a little bit of everything (shrimp, lechon kawali, inihaw, mango, chicken BBQ, eggplant, lumpia, tilapia, eggs, tomato & onion, etc.) EVERYTHING is good!

EAT WITH YOUR HANDS! This place is known for "kamayan" where you eat with your hands and the dishes are served over banana leaves! I think for $120 this can feed up to 10 people and comes with the works! Whenever I come here for lunch though I order their breakfast "bansilog" which is a deep fried milk fish with white vinegar and garlic sauce served with a slice of tomato and a large portion of garlic fried rice. It is delicious! This place also gets very busy especially during lunch hour and it picks up again right around 5:30PM everyday. There are plenty of parking right across the street next to IHOP and the Korean Supermarket. Do use the crosswalk when crossing the intersection because cars are coming from all directions! All in all it is not too bad - service could be upgraded - but it's all good!

Alexa-Riva T.

Yummy food. Small space. Dirty rest room. And house of sisig with no sisig available. Hahaha. The guy who served us said he will just give us lumpia, and we thought that lumpia is for free to compensate us because they have no sisig! (Which is the very reason we went there to eat before heading back to San Jose, to eat their famous sisig!) But they still charge us. What a good customer service. (Sarcasm)

My GF and I have been planning to visit this establishment for about 6 months before we actually went. Simply because the drive is from Sacramento. But we've heard so much about this place and the food that we have to check it out. At firs look the place is small and literally a hole in the wall... hey sometimes a hole in a wall have the best dish. So, the four of us went down to the bay and had lunch at this place. The food was good and the best is eating on a banana leaf. I'm sure there are other delish food but you can only eat so much in one sitting. I will visit again and will try others on the menu. Opportunity = expand the area and train servers to display a bit of having 'people skills' so the patrons will think they enjoy being there.

Food is okay, but the service was TERRIBLE. My group and I were seated at 7:30PM and ordered at 7:40PM. Our food wasn't delivered to our table until 8:40PM. Apparently, our food was given to another table. That was never explained, it was just assumed because we saw the same food we ordered given to another table that arrived after us. In addition, it was ridiculous to see other parties be served after us and given special treatment. The special treatment includes immediate seating, ordering, and delivery of food. In addition, the waiter spent a lot of time socializing with them. A response and action by our waiter didn't take place until one of our guests approached the front desk a couple of times to remind them of our situation. I wonder if customer service would be better if we were friends of the hosts or not FilAms. Either way, the level of customer service shouldn't be based on who you are. Sucks for us to try to support a local Pinoy business. On to the next one... I'll stick to Toppings, Tselogs, and Pampanguena

The food here is exceptional. Sometimes it's great, sometimes it's just bad. Their sisig is what they're known for, but it's a little too salty for my taste. Their customer service here extremely bad. They focus so much on their to-go orders that they sometimes forget the orders of their dine-in customers. We ordered pancit along with our other dishes and it still didnt come by the time we got our check. Never coming back because this always happens to us.

Food was good, but they can't really accommodate big groups more than 10 people! Waited about 20-30mins for our table since we had a big group, which was understandable, so we asked for menus to prep up what we want to order as soon as we were seated to our table. As we were taken to our table, there was already miscommunication among the servers. The menu that were given to us when we were waiting was different (make sure they give you the menu with the "kamayan" in it!) so, that was another 10mins of waiting time! As we were waiting, we asked the server for our drinks and she said that she's getting them... 5mins... 10mins... First wave of the food came, still no drinks and asked her again... 5mins... 10mins... Second wave of food came, and asked one more time... 5mins... 10mins... As a few of us were in a brink of choking from our food, they finally gave us water when we asked one last time! We were getting pretty full with the food that we got, but apparently the heavy ones start coming in one by one every 10mins, and we had to have them to-go! Long story-short: slow service, they would rather accommodate small parties, and lack of communication between employees! P.S. If you order to-go, clarify your order before paying because i ordered House of Sisig Tadyang separetely, and apparently the cashier only heard the sisig -.-

The food is pretty good, however, the service is generally fair to poor. This review maybe harsh based on a Christmas Eve order that was not ready on time. The restaurant is noted to have a big following for their sisig. My current wait so far is an hour and they tell me it may be another 45 minutes. Some other customers' orders took as long as three hours.

Came here for the first time last Saturday around 2ish so I guess the lunch rush might have ended because when me and my family of 7 walked in, there were only two other tables. Did the whole Kamayan thing and started off with talong, boiled eggs, etc. The food was quick to come with BBQ, shrimp, crispy pata, fish, etc. There's also a sink in the back specifically for washing hands other than the bathroom which is good for the Kamayan eaters. Now, the thing that really bothered me was the service. Now, of course being filipino and walking into a filipino restaurant where ALL the customers and workers are filipinos, of course you're supposed to feel right at home. But I think the servers and all the workers were too much at home. There were only two other tables other than ours and we never got served or asked for drinks until we got all our food. We were also sitting in one of the large tables, so obviously you'd think all the food would be spread out evenly for everyone to reach since it's family style. Nooo, the waiter just dumped the big bowl of rice on one side of the table and just cut to the kitchen. The other waiters would just walk over to our table hella muggin' and just dumped our food on our banana leaves. REMINDER: There were only TWO other tables the entire time I was there! There are three waiters, and all of them were sitting at a back table eating and just watching. Even our waiter was standing and eating. I mean, I understand you must be working hella hours, but foreal? He couldn't bother to ask us for drinks or serve us the right way, but he could just stand there and eat. There were only two other tables! It's not like they were busy with a lot of other tables. Anyways, our glasses had no more water that even my Tita (Auntie) got up and grabbed one of the pitchers of water for herself and poured water for each of us. Jeeez. Anyways, service sucks here. I'd only come back for the food if I wanna bring someone who hasn't done the whole Kamayan thing only. Psh, my boyfriend's sister used to work here and she said a long time ago they had rats. I don't know if this is still true now, but psh, their service is just as bad as having rats there.

This Pork Sisig is the most delicious dish I've ever had. I had it for the first time less than a week ago and I'm already back to get it to go. The pancit isn't bad either. I've found excellent service both times coming. For Pork Sisig I can't imagine going anywhere else. I look forward to trying beef next time.

I dine here with my cousin and my girl and it was almost like being in the Philippines, well kind of. The place was quite small and a bit cramped. I felt a bit at home because its almost like being back in my hometown in the Philippines. Eating on a banana leaf and being able to use my hand was awesome! I'm so glad my cousin introduced this place to me. I'll be returning to this place every time I visit San Francisco. As for the food, I thought it was great! We ordered the meal for three people and it was more than enough for four. The serving is quite a lot! I'm very excited to come back to this place. I'll probably give this place another review on my next visit. A more detailed review. I'm just excited to have known the place and give it a review.

I will be honest I am no expert on Filipino food and I did not recognize nor even know 90% of the menu. However, I do know food that I do like. I walked in only slightly hungry on a Sunday and there was already a line out the door. However, it seems like most of people were not aware that you were suppose to walk to the front counter and ask for a table and size of party, even though there is a sign up front telling people to go the counter. Anyways there were a lot of large party and I was only a party of two and thus after 5 minutes after a large party left they seat the smaller party. If you have a large party or do not want to wait, then make an RSVP. You know how everyone said the serve suck, well learn to speak up and expect to wait a while because I know I am willing to wait for good food. So I said i was slightly hungry, well after waiting 5 minutes for a table and 15 minutes for my food, I was starving, because the restaurant smell from the kitchen is damn heavenly. My pork was a bit burnt but the sauce that i dumped on my garlic rice and egg still made it delicious. Pork adobo, the better looking cousin of the chicken adobe, tender and awesome. Next time I will RSVP, take a Filipino friend and eat family style with my hand.

I was just at this Restaurant. I waited for 10 minutes to be seated but no one came and so I seated myself. I waited for another 5 minutes and no one even approached me or said hi to me. This place has the SLOWEST service there is! I will never come back to this place again or recommend it to anyones!

Worst service ever! 1st time I walked out coz waitress raised her voice on us. Man we went there to eat and have a good time...not to take BS from an ill mannered waitress. 2nd time, signs say it opens at 11. Come 11:10 i was standing at the door for more than 5mins, they see me but pretended not to see me and kept doors lock. To the owner...u have good food, but if you wanna expand, get rid of your ill mannered staff...they're pulling u down!

Kamayan style - sounds fun, right? It's what got us in the door. This place is a mess. From start to finish, it was just bad. I was beyond annoyed when I had to wait in line for 20 mins just to put my name on the list. They have one line for guests ordering take out and guests who want to be seated. Seriously? There must be a better way of managing this. It was a Sunday, and I didn't mind waiting another 20 mins to be seated (aside from already waiting 20 mins just to put my name on the list); especially after hearing all the good reviews from fellow Filipinos and seeing the pics on yelp. Dining area - sticky tables and chairs, slippery floors. Am I seeing things, or is that a cardboard box on the floor? 3rd world floor mats - great tool in absorbing the wet stuff on the floor. At least I won't slip and break my back, maybe just trip and fall on my face. I'm not the type to actually send food back, but when your served COLD, bland food.. I just had to. I spent $40 for the kamayan style, and what a waste of money; seriously!! Sisig - decent. No issues with this. Restroom/sink area - OMG! RUN! NOW! So gross. The stock room is in this area. Ice machine was right next to the sink! Wtf?!Yuck. One can't help but wonder what kind of splatter went inside my ice! Someone needs to call merry maids or something. This restaurant has some serious sanitary issues and needs to be scrubbed down. Would I go back? No. too bad, I really wanted to like this place.

This place was amaze balls! The food was bomb dignity! Service was excellent and the staff was friendly. Usually on a busy day, you can wait pretty long (weekends) but on a normal working day, it is pretty slow and you can get seated right away. I love how they use banana leaves as placemats. lol. Ok, on to the food. The calamari to start was so good. All of their plates are excellent. Top notch quality Filipino food. I usually get the sisig with garlic rice. It comes with jalapeÃ±os and onions. mmmmm! Definitely a place worth going to.

I went there 3 times . The first twice was good, servise was good, food was good. But when I went there last time , the servise was terrible!!!!! it's the worst servise ever ! My friend and I waited almost 30mins, we saw some people ordered after us ,and they got their food first. When they gave us the food , the food just warm ,just like using the microwave. The worst restaurant ever !

Very tasty, and fairly priced Filipino food. Portion size was great too! Order take out and food was ready, and still warm when we had arrived.

me - "Mom, I like sisig. This is where they have it." Mom - "What? Sisig is so fattening! Hahaha! At least im down to eat filipino food here. The food is great! I had the adobo and the sisig here. I manage to come here with little to no wait. It is a small restaurant so maybe weekdays and early evenings would be the best time to come. Service has been ok when I come. It always can be better but it wasn't horrible.

I enjoy Filipino food to the max! Overall I know they are greasy and may not be good for you but prepared right and presented correctly it could knock your socks off. This is the second time I have been here. The first time I was impressed since we get to eat on banana leaves. I felt authentic if there was such a thing. This time around there were five of us and I decided to order the special for two (meaning the combination of fish, BBQ chicken, lechon, salted eggs, and eggplant) and three large side dishes. The wait staff told me that he will have to charge an extra $3 per person if we want to all eat on the banana leaf. I opted to eat on a plate and save the $9. The combination for two came in no time but the rest of the meal took almost 30 to 40 minutes later to be served. I had to remind two different people that we were still waiting for the rest of out order. The sisig was too greasy for my taste and the sinigang was o.k. Overall, I am not coming back to this place if they paid me. I did not Get my $70 worth.

Went here a while back. Someone in our party got sick. Went to the restroom and saw the staff washing the used banana leaves used to serve on outside behind the restaurant. They don't use new ones. Disgusting!!

if i could give less stars then i would. I went to this place with my boyfriend and his mom today and we were just ordered to sit at a table. After ten minutes of waiting, we were finally given our menus.... after we asked for it. We finally received our food after 30 minutes and we also had to ask for water. You would think that after being seated, you would be given menus AND water. The environment is not at all welcoming. The two male servers only cater to those they feel like helping. I mean i'm filipino but i don't speak tagalog and they seem to help those who only speak their language. My boyfriends mom even held up her cup to get her water refilled and the two servers walked right by her and sat by the front door and started talking. Other people who came in to dine here were catered to very quickly while we were still waiting for our food. It definitely felt as if we were not good enough to be served. then we finally received our check and waited another 15 minutes for them to come and get it after i asked very loudly for the guy and waved my arm up too. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE! I wouldn't spend my money to keep this place going. this place is full of shit.

Patrick Gabriel L.

The name says it all. I'm not sure about anything else, but rest assured this is not a place to bring a date or to introduce someone to Filipino food unless your friend or company is open minded and up for adventure. Besides the sisig, one of the signature items of Filipino cuisine, think of it as our answer to the fajita, the crispy pata was killing me softly. It's one of those dishes you eat after you've had your appointment with the doctor. It's deep fried pork hamhock. I think they can step up their presentation game because other filipino places have done it, but regardless it has the staples that any former resident of the Philippines would enjoy.

Philip Jordan F.

Been here once and I'll probably never go back. Complaints: bad costumer service, slow, the squid sisig was nothing but spicy, gave my stomach grumble in pain, leftovers stank after a few hours, crowded, that's just from the top of my head. Mayb I just ordered the wrong items. Though I'm not really into getting down and dirty while eating.

Laurie W.

So this is like my third time coming here and this is my first time reviewing it I love sisig and this place does make some pretty amazing sisig. Ive came here twice before and always enjoyed it but today...i think i might have to find somewhere else. It's a Sunday, what does that mean to me? Nothing...just the day before work life. Maybe it means more to this restaurant but if you are open and operating with customers...i expect the same service. How is it that I wait to be seated, only to end up seating myself? And that it took...maybe...10 minutes? for a menu? I am hungry and I want to eat! I even already know what i want!! So I'm ready..i know what i want..im ready to order....no one comes. I waited and even signal that we're ready to place our orders, the waitress sees me and nods, acknowledging that she knows im ready....no one comes. It wasn't until another 10 minutes before SOMEONE ELSE comes after WE WAVED HER down to get our orders....look i just want to eat, im a willing to pay customer and I want to eat here cause I like their sisig! why is it so hard to get service?!?! Yes i even timed it because i was THAT hungry, it took almost 1hr and 30 minutes, for MY pork sisig to come...its not even that hard to make!!! and no, there wasn't hella people there. I am famish and when my food came, it wasn't even hot. So it must have been sitting in the kitchen, waiting for me to eat it. What pissed me off the most was, i see the whole crew in the back, eating home made desserts and chit chatting. I cant believe this! And when i got my food, she was smiling and saying o i'm sorry!...sorry for.....what? that you were eating and taking your sweet ass time? or sorry that you left my food on the counter and didn't bother to bring it over because you dont care? Yea, you didn't get a tip or if i remember correctly, your tip was less than nothing....i'll find somewhere else that can appreciate my money

Food is good but the service is horrible. Even placing simple orders over the phone is a drag. This place has potential to be one of the best filipino restaurants in Daly City... All they have to do is be more courteous and cleaner.

I really do not care what other people say, I love this. This place really reminds me of the Philippines (I lived there for almost 6 months) and the food is incredible! I love the spread they put on including a number of delicious foods including fried fish, BBQ chicken, etc. This place is kind of a hole in the wall, so do not expect cleanliness. House of Sisig is more of an experience - kind of like Filipino Soul Food. Yummy in my tummy.

Joshua L.

SAN FRANCISCANS: House of Sisig is worth the "trip" to Daly City, if only because this joint offers "kamayan" - a meal traditionally eaten wherein the food is dumped on banana leaves and eaten with hands (USEFUL: You COULD ask for utensils). The kamayan was fantastic. A great assortment of sauces for dipping and guashing came with the food. The BBQ chicken was perfectly sweet. The lechon kawali was crisp and tender. The tilapia was okay - not hot anymore, next time I'd get it deep fried. We ordered a side of Ginisang Sayote (Chayote with ground beef & shrimp) which was also tasty. Everything came with plenty of rice - which is part and parcel of Filipino eatings. The service was friendly and helpful, and they have parking in the back, which was very nice. USEFUL Tip: If you're getting the "kamayan" - ask for fried lechon, instead of the grilled - for that perfect crispy, juicy, crunchy scrumptiousness slice of heaven that only deep fried pork can offer. Also, you might as well ask for the tilapia fried also, because fried fish is The Word.

Jessica P.

I absolutely love their food and the fact that they're the only restaurant near me that does kamayan. My family comes all the way from the North Bay just to try this place, but I'm going to score it 2 stars because of their crappy service. It's ridiculous that my parents and I had to stand 10 minutes to be seated when there were open tables all around us when the family after us were seated right away. The servers focused on the one big party in the restaurant so we ended up serving our own water and getting our own (yes, they didn't even serve us napkins initially) The waitress was rude and gave attitude to my family but not the other families.

Tony T.

Not sure why they have such a low rating. The food is amazing. Their time to bring the bill was slow but this is the case with a lot of fillipino or Asian places. Not a big deal! Get one of the specials on the front if you're overwhelmed.

I HAVE to start with the horrible service. My friends and I came here for a late Sunday lunch. We got seated pretty promply, however they didn't even clean the table! There were pieces of rice on it! RATCHET! The waiter took a good 10-15 minutes to take our order. After we ordered, we asked for water where he pointed to the counter suggesting we pour our own. A few minutes later, we see him serve water to every other table. Uhh... wtf?? I sense some racism up in here! We were the only Chinese people in the restaurant, and I felt they were ignoring us on purpose. Anyways.. I think they are known for what looks like the Pilipino boiling crab. They bring out a bunch of meat and you eat it with your hands. My friends and I opted for the regular menu. We ordered lumpia, chicken adobo, pancit, and a mango dish (which never came). The adobo and lumpia were my favorite. The pancit was bland and did not look appetizing at all. The mango dish never came out and they still charged us for it! After finishing our meal, we just wanted to get the h*** out that place. All the workers ignored us for a good 10-15 minutes yet again. The server was rude and I feel they were speaking bad things in Tagalog about us. I am never ever ever getting back together with House of Sisig. Like EVER.

This restaurant is very small and not very tidy at all. Definitely not good if you have a big group. I came here all the way from San Jose to just try their Kamayan style eating! It was my boyfriend, my son and I's first time trying this. Were a big fan and huge critics when it comes to filipino food (we try ALL the filipino places). The food here was delicious! Everything about the food was great! My favorite was the pork sisig (a must have)! We also had the garlic rice which was excellent! Kamayan style eating was an excellent experience! The customer service was good too (not great but good). We would definitely come here again if we are in the area.

First time and will never come back. Service was really SLOW. It took almost 30 mins to get our food and they were all silogs. How hard is it to make silogs?? It was not even that crowded. When we got our food, they were COLD!!!!! The place is super DIRTY! I was able to get a glimpse of the kitchen and i did not like what i saw.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. After my terrible experience there in May, I vowed to never give House of Sisig any further patronage, and I've done that so far. However, a friend of mine ordered sisig to go and brought it over to a potluck. THE SISIG HAD BITS OF METAL SHARDS IN IT. Green ones that blended into the sisig. Thankfully before I took my first bite, she exclaimed and spit out a PIECE OF METAL. I mean, it sucked for her, but she was the first out of the group to take a bite and spared us all potential serious injuries. She said her mouth hurt but luckily she did not swallow anything. You know, I can deal with bad service and a little dirt, but I ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT tolerate bits of non-food items in my food, especially metal shards that could cause serious internal damage. Other reviewers have even mentioned their sightings of rats while dining there. I honestly don't know how this place is still in business.

Sheena S.

My family and I came here for the first time and were really impressed since we were already prejudging it from some "bad" reviews. They are so friendly here and the place is clean and neat. The presentation of the food was eye catching. This restaurant has a very traditional Filipino home feeling since you have the option of ordering "kamayan" which means eating with your hands (on top of banana leaves). My Mother in law ordered pork chop and she found it too salty for her and the lady (wish I got her name, light skinned filipina with a left wrist tattoo) gladly took it and came back out with a BRAND NEW plate for free. They didn't mind getting her a new one unlike other places that will give you 'tude because they're lazy fuckers. We will definitely come back when we are back in town!

Maria G.

Came here and tried the kamayan with my friends. Interesting experience to try and eat how they do "back home". Food was good and plentiful with salted egg, mango, tomato, eggplant, grilled squid, fried tilapia, lumpia, barbecued meats, lechon kawali and steamed rice all served on a banana leaf. We didn't finish it all. I can see how some people are put off by eating with their hands, but do it just to say you've tried something different.

Begz B.

Ghetto place. Dirty bathrooms. The place was dirty when we walked in and food everywhere on the floor. They charge you extra for credit cards. Be sure to have cash. Their sisig is not really that good. Theres nothing much on it to be hype for. Just a typical sliced pork with diced pepper and onion toppings on it. Small place. Waiting at the the table for your food to come takes so long.

Vi T.

Okay, why is the sisig not the most awesome sisig I've ever tasted in my life? The place is called House of SISIG for cryin' out loud! I still really prefer Jojoli's in UC, but really.. that's not the point. The point is that if you are going to name your restaurant after a dish, that signature dish better blow the pants off of everything else you have on the menu. It just wasn't very flavorful, and the onions and jalapenos were chopped a little too chunky for my liking. The other dishes we had were actually pretty decent. Beef tapa was well seasoned (and NOT oily!!!! yay!) and the sinigang was delicious. It was cooked such that the vegetables were still recognizable, unlike some places that let it simmer all day until anything that's fresh about it disintegrates into mush. Oh, and the meat courses were served as silogs (with rice and eggs) for something like 8 or 9 dollars with generous portions. Another redeeming factor is that the service here was extremely friendly on our visit which, I'm sorry to say, is hard to find in many of the Filipino joints I've been to (apparently this is in contrast to what others have experienced, but I did say on the occasion we went!). Overall, this place is good solid Filipino food which is why they get 3 stars.... I would just suggest passing on the sisig.

Noelle S.

Came here for dinner last night & I am extremely disappointed! I got inihaw na baboy over rice and the meat was very dry and raw! Pork adobo was very salty and way too much garlic! I love garlic but it was way too much for me. Lastly, service SUCKS! Employees are more eager to eat their dinner oppose to serving customers!

Service was not good. Waited a ver long time. They told me 15-20mins I waited for 40 mins. I wanted to just cancel my order but then I was thinking maybe the food is worth the wait. Went home ate the food. It was horrible. Too salty, fish overcooked and they put the vinegar container on top of my eggs, so the egg yolk was all over the container. Would not go there again!

Booooooooo.... Came here for it's namesake before I left for the airport and they didn't even have sisig. Like, really? I should report them to the Better Business Bureau for this....it's misadvertisement or something. Ended up ordering the chicken adobo, garlic fried rice, egg combo (adobosilog). Only reason I didn't give them 1 star was because this choice was pretty yummy. Warning tho: their garlic fried rice isn't really fried rice...it's "fried garlic topped white rice."

Gerard G.

My first time coming to this place and this place gets 1 star only. The service is REALLY SLOW! The server told us that the Sisig would be a 25 minute wait and it became an HOUR wait. No consideration in the wait, good food but I repeat WAIT WILL BE LONG!
(1)
Rex D.

Not bad at all! The food was good! It's just cramped when there's a lot of people inside. Overall good experience! Ask for the kamayan or you're eating without the banana leaves. I thought the waitress were really nice, but the waiter hated me for some reason. Either way good food!

Quite a different experience if you've never eaten with your hands. Food was pretty good. Some hits, some misses. Place is a little shabby.

Shirleyanne A.

I'm suprised that people kept complaining about customer service. When we went here, the servers gave us our drinks right away. When I asked for the soy-vinegar dip, they brought it over quickly. They even regularly checked up on us to see if we needed anything else. They even gave us extra sauce for the palabok (even if we didn't ask for it). So I give them 5 stars for their service. If you came here, expect to breaking your diet. Almost everything is fried or oily but Filipinos like this. Don't get the palabok. It was extremely bland and I was really disappointed because it's my favorite dish. It was really soupy too so I think they overcooked the noodles. Definitely get the crispy pata (deep fried pork leg). It was so juicy and fatty- nom nom yum! I liked the garlic oil thingy that they served with it. Make sure you douse your rice with it. The tortang talong (eggplant with ground meat) was perfect. It had the right amount of meat and the eggplant was slightly sweet. Their servings are huge too so don't order too much. You can definitely get away with sharing an entree with another person.

This was definitely an interesting experience. I've eaten complete meals with my hands before (i.e. Boiling Crab), but never anything quite like this. I came with a group of 5, and as we were waiting we noticed other tables were eating food with their hands and we all had to admit, it did not exactly look appealing. But once we sat down we decided hey we came here, let's go all the way! So we ordered one of the family meals for 4 and added a pork sisig and pancit. Since we ordered the family style meal they covered the table with banana leaves, which looked like they had been rinsed (at best), and smelled a little funny. This is where they dumped all the food into a communal pile and it's basically a free-for-all grab fest with the food. I could definitely see this being a deal breaker for some people, and I certainly don't recommend you take anyone here for your first date! As for the food, it was all alright. The family meal came with fried tilapia, fried shrimp, fried pork, grilled squid, and grilled pork for the main proteins. Not bad; nothing stellar either. On the side there were freshly chopped tomatoes, onions, and mangoes. There were also some mushy eggplant that I didn't particularly care for, and salted eggs, which I also tried but didn't enjoy so much. Big pile of white rice in the middle. The sisig and pancit were pretty good; probably the best part of the meal. However, it was all rather awkward to eat with only our hands. I don't remember exactly how much it cost, but I do remember thinking the price was pretty good considering how much food we ordered. Bottom line: I would be willing to come back if someone wanted to try it, but I wouldn't come back here on my own because it isn't nearby to me, and there are better filipino places I've been to. Still rounding up to 3 stars though in this review.

I only had the lumpia and the flan. The lumpia was good. Good serving too. But the flan was too airy. A tip for the cook: when it's starting to firm up on your bain marie. Poke holes on the flan using a fork so the air comes out. That way you avoid the flan having air holes when it firms up. Second of all, don't rush the flan, low and steady heat so you dont burn the edges. Anywho, would come back for other dishes. But, I would get the lumpia again. Nice, crunchy little things!

This place has changed, the service was always bad, but the food usually made up for it. After today I won't be coming back. Me and my gf came in and was sat down. Not a lot of people were there so we got to order right away. Ended up waiting 40+ min and nothing. Bigger parties came in and were given food before us. I went up to complain when they gave me a bs excuse saying that the bigger party ordered their food to be cooked grilled instead so it came faster. So it takes 40 min to cook 2 small plates of food? 2 min after complaining the food came UNCOOKED and they gave me like 3 pcs of meat...horrible experience just go to IHOP. After going home I immediately vomited.

The food here is good: the sisig and lechon kawali are great! We've even had the kamayan style meals a few times and it was good. I would give 4 stars based on food alone. But what really kills it is the customer service. The customer service here is TERRIBLE! Which is sad because this place can be so much more better than what it is now. Wake up guys, this is Daly City. There are plenty of Filipino restaurants where I can go to where the food is good and the overall dining experience is much better.

Ordered food to-go a couple weeks ago on the phone and was missing one item. I ordered 2 orders of palabok, (which one order was missing) was too saucey for my taste and 2 orders of sisig which was salty at the end. (Make sure you ask them to separate the sauce other wise it gets really salty). Tried to make this lady repeat what I ordered but she just kept saying, " yea, yea, got your order." And hung up the phone. When I picked up the order, I ordered another item of pinakbit (which I didn't try) and the lady rolled her eyes at me. (Really??) So, I wait but thinking not sure she heard me so I repeated myself. She said, "got it." And rolled her eyes at me again!!! Luckily, I'm a nice person and thought she was just having a bad day. (But apparently according to other reviews, this lady is known to roll her eyes. I think she needs her eyes checked.) When the food was ready I just paid and left without a thank you. (Oooooohhhh... Right?, she didn't care.) Service to-go sucks. Bad service and this lady (didn't get her name) didn't even bother listening to what I have to say and has an eye problem.

The last time we were here, we ordered food to go. As we waited for our food, we witnessed the staff wipe the leaves. Three other people witnessed what I saw on different occasions. I hope that the staff was wiping the leaves for their first use before putting them on the tables. And I hope that they do not reuse the leaves because that is completely unsanitary. Used leaves should be thrown away in the compose bins and should not be recycled for multiple uses. I would NEVER try their kamayan style foods.

Taste and quality of food - 5 stars easily. I went here for dinner with my family and I am looking forward to coming back because the food was amazing. We tried the lechon, BBQ chicken, steak, fish and lumpia. Along with sides of mango, eggs.. Tomato, onion, eggplant... loved it all. You typically do not use utensils here because its Filipino family style however of you ask they do have them for you. My 3 stars is solely based on the actual restaurant itself which I wish were more appealing in regards to the look and feel.. It's in need of some major upgrades. Nicer tables and chairs... Walls etc. if I'm eating with my hands Id like a super clean restaurant to eat inside of. Nonetheless this doesn't hinder me from eating here because like I said the food is phenomenal. I think if they remodeled and expanded they could do some amazing things here because this style restaurant is not very common.

I had high hopes for this place. I looked at the Yelp pictures and really loved the whole kamayan vibe, seeing folks scoop up their food Pinoy style using nothing but their fingers as utensils and eating off banana leaves instead of plates. The whole thing looked fun and earthy and really communal. I even planned a lunch trip here with my homes...that would be my Mom, Dad, hubby, bro and our babies...that constitutes 'my homes' these days. Then I ate the food. Mom described it best. It was a lazy preparation. LA-ZEE. Allow me to illustrate with each of the items I ordered tonight: 1. Laing = shredded taro leaves sauteed in coconut milk with shrimp and pork. Taro leaves should be torn in manageable pieces not served as whole sheets of huge honkin' taro leaves that seem to go on interminably as you try to shovel an entire forkful in your mouth. 2. Crispy pork binangongan = should be crispy fried pork sauteed in shrimp paste with the right amount of crunch and savory and a bit of sweet. This one tasted like leftover, day old pork pieces that hardened over time and reheated to give it that faux crunch. Served with a side of two measly tomato slices, this was unlike the crispy binangongan I'm accustomed to served on a bed of charred eggplant and topped with chopped tomatoes, onions and mango. Where does one get this insanely good by comparison crispy pork binangongan? It would be crass to name another restaurant while reviewing this one. But it rhymes with Patio Filipino. 3. Bistek = should be tangy, savory slices of tender beef with sauteed onions. This one was an oily mess of tough beef--again, big pieces difficult to maneuver without a knife (I've never ever used a knife eating bistek until now)--served with barely sauteed onions that still had a crunch and that strong onion bite because they weren't cooked long enough. 4. Palabok = the best dish of the lot but still lacking the shrimpy taste and orange color of annato seeds or achuete from a palabok sauce that's been given time to sit and marinate in flavors and annato water. One star for generous portions but otherwise a dismal experience.

The food is delicious however the service is not that great. Took us a while to get our bowl of rice for three and also the waiters didn't really tend to us as soon as we got in even though there weren't that many customers during that time.

Not to sound like a broken record but SERVICE IS MEH, it's really a joke. If you are with people who need top service to function, keep driving and don't come to HOS. When I first came here, we had a woman server who loved whitening soap and nose jobs. She walked around like she was the best thing on earth and took forever to take our order, served longanisa that was practically jimmy dean sausages from costco-- we asked her "is this longanisa?" her response was that it was healthier.. no comment. If I was looking for healthy I wouldn't have even stepped in the door lady. And if they want healthy- add some brown rice to your menu. Second experience- an older man served us. Didn't acknowledge us as we came in the door, seated ourselves (it was not even that busy to not have noticed us), gave us menus late, took forever to give us waters...all the usual signs that bad service was yet to come. He handed us plates for our table with one hand and not even placing it on our table and same with the food. Literally handed me the rice and sisg, didn't even bother arranging our table to fit it on...l a z y. There was a younger man working there who was a rockstar server in comparison, actually filled our waters and asked us how we were doing. Food- great, reason for the 3 STARS. Lechon Kawali was cooked just right, not to oily and of course the bangus sisig was tasty. Their food is traditional, not frilly, decent priced. However, I ordered a halo halo to share with someone else and they gave it to us in a to go container..kinda tacky especially since it was obvious we were eating there Atmosphere-it's not the nicest place, tables are old, but in comparison to service the place will do. To House of Sisig: TRAIN YOUR SERVERS. teach them etiquette, hire people with common sense. It's a shame/waste to serve great food and encourage large parties to come and eat on banana leaves if you don't have servers that make the experience memorable if not decent and worth the wait. Also, they only accept Visa.

1 star! If I could give less stars I WOULD. Fuck House of Sisig. Their saving grace is their food. It is tasty. I was going to type up a big play by play about them but you know what? Everyone else with a low rating is saying it. Dirty. The service is atrocious. Fucking terrible. They are rude shitty people. The vibe you get from the serving staff is really weird and uncomfortable. The food takes a long time. I hope this place goes out of business or they fire the family members they clearly have running the joint. It needs to land in new hands that give a fuck.

Bbq chicken was tasteless. Sinigang is good, lumpia shanghai is good. They only offer pork tocino- which tastes good bit is mostly in edible fat. Their Sisig doesn't have as much flavor as other places, and yet that's what they built their Restaraunt on..

Sherry M.

Out of all the places I have tried sisig, this place...hands down has the best sisig I've ever had. They are expensive though I must say but when you are craving filipino food and are too lazy to cook it at home yourself, I would recommend this place. Everything they have here is good. It tastes home cooked, it's fresh and has a lot of flavor. I love their BBQ skewers too with the little side of vinegar sauce they give. It's awesome! I've only eaten inside once and their service was a little slow, otherwise me and my co workers would just order pick up for lunch.

This place is terrible. Service was worst I have ever experienced. Had to get up and find a pitcher of water. Waiter seemed more interested in singing songs than refilling water. MY WATER WAS REFILLED 0 TIMES. Multiple NON FILIPINO tables were told their food would be delayed. When our sisig came out 30 minutes after our rice it was cold and burnt. It was the worst sisig I have ever eaten. How isbour food 30 late and burnt? Every other larger filipino group got their entire meal on theirbtable in less than 12 minutes. I actually timed this. It came out piping hot too. The worst was after being ignored for 15 minutes we finally were able to get our check. Then another 10 minutes of waiting to pay. I finallybwalked to the front counter and was blatantly ignored by all staff for 5 minutes. I am trying TO PAY YOU for the disgusting cold food with terrible service. I AM ACTUALLY PAYING YOU AND YOU WILL NOT ACCEPT MY MONEY. The best is when I turn to walk out the waitress who has obviously been paying attention asks if we paid yet. I had to tell her after being ignored....NOW you pay me attention? I tried to dismiss it as a bad day for the kitchen...others got food fine. I tried to rationalize the wait staff was busy....they sang songs and played with water pitchers. I tried to pay....but this place reeks of a lack of professionalism and racism.

I want to give this place more stars. I love the food. My favorite dish is Kawali Silog it is not on the menu but order it. It's good. The seating is cramped they try and get as many people in there. Sometimes, depending who is working as a waiter the service can be bad. I remember waiting upwards of 20 minutes for food. Depending on the server you have to ask for everything you need this includes utensils and water. Overall the food is delicious and I will continue going back.

As much as I want to keep coming here for the food, the customer service keeps turning me away. The first time I went here, my wife and I sat down in a nearly empty room for a late breakfast/early lunch. We were quickly seated but and our order was taken fairly promptly, each a plate of Sisigsilog. It took 45 minutes for us to get our food. No sorry. No explanation. We weren't in much of a rush but I was freakin hungry. I didn't go into a frenzy because at least the food was really good. I figured it was a one off but the next time I came in about a month later, same thing! My wife really likes the Sinigang Na Baboy soup that we'll order for pick up once in a while. Everytime I've ordered the food for pick up, I've walked up to the registers and it takes forever for the cashiers to so much as acknowledge me, even if there aren't any other customers in line. When I can finally get their attention, they're rude and curt as if I interrupted their converstations. I hate having to come in here but the food is still pretty good and the portions are fairly large. Oh decisions... decisions... :P

Idiosyncratic G.

This was okay. Sisig was okay not as good as Gerry's grill but what the hell we aren't in Manila. We ordered everything! My fave was the Kare Kare! Pancit okay lang. Sinigang had better... nothing to write home about. if you are craving filipino food this is an ok place. Adobo was okay. The least favorite dish was the liempo which is usually my favorite dish but here they made it like it was Kalbi LOL what? Yeah so sisig is okay get if you are craving sisig and definately order their Kare kare! Yummers!

Okay so I usually come in and take out every week.. I usually get the sisigsilog which is always sooooo delicious..It's a must if you come to this restaurant. But one day me and a friend decided to eat there at the restaurant. It was 11:30 am on a weekday so it was pretty slow. I told my friend he has to try the sisigsilog. So when the waitress came to take our order, we ask for 2 sisigsilog. She comes back and says" I'm sorry we are out of sisig right now would you like to order something else." REALLLY your restaurant is called HOUSE OF SISIG and you ran out of SISIG at 1130am... I was puzzled and so was my friend. We were really craving sisig but they ran out so we decided to leave and just laughed about it on the way out. I give it a 3star cause the sisig is one of the best I have ever tasted....but i never dine in I always dine out...

RACHELLE T.

Customer service was terrible!!!! The place looks dark and just by standing at the register and peering through the kitchen, you can see it is filthy in there. The food was mediocre. Good, but not awesome. Even the sisig was mediocre. It's "House of Sisig" for goodness sake, it should be top notch, right? I just would never get food from here ever again. There are so many other cleaner tastier filipino cuisine options around.

Man I was so disappointed the last time I came here! There was a big party going on so we were crammed into a corner table. I was fine with it because I was super hungry and expected the food to be awesome as usual but it took forever to order (since the big party was their main priority) as soon as we ordered it took forever for our food to come. We ordered 2 sisig silogs and lechon kawali. The lechon kawali was perfect! Meat wasn't dry and the fat was crispy! But as for the silogs our sisig tasted soooo burnt! I know sisig is suppose to have that charred taste but it was just burnt. My garlic rice was cold and my eggs were so oily. I'll probably give them another try BUT not for awhile. Sigh*

Bad service. I ordered a to-go lunch plate. Chubby guy server gave my order to a dine-in friend then forgot to ask the kitchen to make another one. Made me wait 20 minutes and acted like nothing happened. Chubby guy also ignored my request for an update. Will never eat here again.

All I have to say is I hope someone CALLS the health department! This place is unsanitary PERIOD! My review is based on how this business practices their food handling Our waiter was wearing gloves the whole time. The same gloves he would serve food, to boost tables and who knows what else. I'm not coming back because of how icky this location is. The restroom is just nasty, they use it as a storage too! Every health code is broken at this restaurant. Please don't bring your family here you might get sick!

This is the absolute worst Filipino restaurant I have ever been to. Their customer service are the pits and their employees are shady individuals. God forbid that you decide to order from this despicable place (despite of my warning), never ever order days in advance for a holiday occasion because you'll end up waiting hours past your actual pick-up time. And on top of that, they will double charge you if you had given your card number in advance as well!!!

Avoid this place if possible! Service is ridiculously slow! Prepare to spend at least 2 hours in this place. This restaurant is also filthy as hell. If I see something in my food other than what I'm supposed to eat....something's wrong inside that kitchen. Umm, what's HealthDepartment's number please?

First visit to this place was all it took for me to decide to never return. The service in this place is some of the worst I have ever seen. Came to eat around 6:00 P.M with my girlfriend. The restaurant was a little more then half full. My girlfriend and I walked in and stood at the entrance and made eye contact with several waiters including what looked like the female manager behind the counter. After about 5 minutes a waiter finally said it would just be a minute before we were seated. I looked at my watch and started counting... After about 10 minutes I was starting to boil. I decided to stand and wait to see how far they would let this go. At about 20 minutes in another large group came in behind us and were immediately seated. Several minutes later a couple of more couples came in and were seated. After nearly 40 minutes I finally walked up to a waiter and asked if we could be seated. He pointed and sat us down right next to the door which was extremely cold and away from the main dining groups. I was pretty furious at this point. I could have walked out but I was so angry I wanted to know just how far I could push this. I continued to monitor my watch and we sat at our table for another 30 minutes without a single waiter ever checking on us or even offering to take drinks. So far we had been in the restaurant well over an hour without anyone so much as looking our way. Behind the counter the manager looking lady was talking and chatting with employees. Many of the employees would stand at the counter and talk. They would also go into the kitchen and not come out for 10 minutes at a time. I continued to stare at the counter attempting to make eye contact with someone. I gave up after about a 1.5 hours and approached the lady at the counter. I told her we had been sitting at our table and in the restaurant for over an hour and no one had asked us for a drinks order. She said, "Oh really...?" very unsympathetic like and I replied that I just wanted to let her know that the service was terrible and I'm leaving. She didn't say anything or even bother to say excuse me. To the others who rate this place 5 stars... You all are terrible reviewers and your opinions don't count. You can't rate this place 5 stars when it looks like it's falling apart and there is dirt and food ALL over the floor. 5 stars is like saying this was the best dining experience you've ever had with the most delicious food you have experienced. This place couldn't even get 5 stars just on cleanliness and atmosphere. I do plan on returning to this place to see if they can do better. If not then I'm going to let the manager have it and I will report this restaurant to every government food regulating agency in California. **UPDATE** Girlfriend and her mom stopped by this place to eat. They had to wait 20 minutes just to be seated after being told it would just be a moment. Waiters were slow and when they got one of their egg plant dishes it was completely cold all the way through. Told the waiter and they microwaved another one and put it on the same plate and gave it back to them. When her mom asked them to separate the food they put all the dishes together in one large container and it mixed up.

This review is based on their lack of customer service. Truthfully, I don't remember the exact dishes I ordered. I think it was catfish and maybe a rice plate. Anyway, non-memorable. Like I said, this review is about customer service. Okay, so I ordered 3 items for takeout. When I get there to pick up, the server says that they ran out of the short ribs, so now I only have 2 out of the items. (The short ribs were what I was really looking forward to, too!) The convo went somethin along like this: I tell him, "In the future, you should think about maybe calling the customer back or even just replacing the order with somethin else... I was kind of really looking forward to the ribs and I'm kind of really hungry." (Seriously, I think most hungry people would be a little/lot pissed off if they were in my shoes, right?) The dude goes, "Sorry, I was in a rush and didn't get your phone number." I go, "It's cool, that's just something that you might wanna think about for future customers." (In my head, I'm like: yes, it's your bad that you didn't get my phone number, so make up for it somehow. An apology is fine, but what about actually correcting your mistake somehow?) So anyway, when I get home, I realize that my receipt says $31.57. In my head, I'm like, damn, he gave me the wrong receipt now. Looking at the food I ordered, it came out to about $16, so I cross out the $31.57 and write: "$16, Given wrong receipt" for my records... When I get my end of month statement, I cross reference the receipt and I'm obviously like: WTF, they really did charge me $31.57... I friggin paid for some ribs that I didn't even get.. To correct this mistake, I actually go back to the restaurant and tell them about it. They say that they have to figure out who the waiter was, so I describe him and they say that he should be working next week. In the meantime, they'll pull up the original receipt in the next few days and see if I was charged the ribs then call me. I say to them, "Okay, that's fair. I'm sure your employee will remember me, since it was less than a month ago." I leave, still annoyed at the situation, but since we've come to a resolution, I'm confident that they'll realize their mistake and it will be corrected in time. WRONG. It's been 2 weeks and they still haven't called me back. WTF. They've had 2 chances now to correct their mistake and have failed on both occasions... I almost forgot about it too, but as soon as I remembered today, I was like: damn you guys, I'm leaving you a weakass Yelp review!!! GOOD JOB AT TAKING MY MONEY, GUYS... YOU OWE ME $15, NOT JUST AN APOLOGY AND A "WE'LL GET BACK TO YOU (NEVER.)" Oh, and after all of this happens, I tell my parents about it... You know what they tell me? They go, "Yeah, we went in there once, and after standing there for a long time with no one serving us or acknowledging our presence, we decided to leave." FORREAL?!

House of Sisig? More like House of chard food! The ambiance was not that great, service is super slow and the guy behind the register didn't give a crap to the people waiting to be seated, not even to acknowledge them(the way I saw it on a customer service standpoint). Restrooms, you'd have go through a maze of boxes along the hallway before you reach the door. I'd go to Toppings instead. Better food and more affordable...

Decent place to eat. I ordered the Sisigsilog, pancit bihon and chicken adobo over rice. First the Sisigsilog, pretty yummy. I like the chopped jalapeÃ±os with the BBQ pork. But was really good was the garlic rice it came with. Add the two over easy eggs on top and that was perfect. The pancit was good but oily. Not a big fan of oily noodles. The adobo was cooked perfectly and very yummy over rice. But it was nothing special compared to other places. Pretty typical dish. I don't agree with the one dollar sign. I guess my opinion of "cheap" doesn't agree with the mass but I wouldn't call this place cheap. I only ordered to-go so I can't rate the house service. They were just ok when I picked up my food. Except the lady first greeted me by asking if I was paying with cash. No "thank you" afterwards. Whatever.

Maila P.

the only reason I gave this ONE STAR IS I CANT GIVE ZERO and the food was actually pretty decent. First of all I was born and raised in SF/Daly City but reside in Union City, this place is FAR from where we live!! I wish we just drove back to our neighborhood where the service is way better!! common sense is not so common at this House of Terrible Service!! I wanted to try this place out after a LONG day in San Francisco with my boyfriend. I heard from a friend this place was good in price and the food was good. We have been wanting to eat here, just never had the time. FINALLY....we did and I regret it!!! Eat here if you plan to do takeout which I don't think is good either since a lady who came in was complaining about how her order was not even placed!! We got seated right away but didn't even get water nor our order til 10 minutes of sitting there, finally ordered three dishes at 6:15pm. Got our main course maybe 15 minutes later, not bad. Then we saved our rice and some of our other food to enjoy the dish we were waiting for. 7:00PM...OUR plate was still not at the table when a part y of like 8 was getting their food already?!!? SERIOUSLY.....more than 30 minutes FOR ONE FREAKIN DISH!?!??!!? our rice was already cold, our water was already empty, our soda was already empty and our food came this late!?!? TERRIBLE!!!!! and when we asked the server what was going on, they were so nonchalant about it!!!! the service here is HORRIBLE!!!! first and LAST time ever eating here!! They need better communication! seems like the owner cares more about her plastic surgery nose looking oily then caring for her waiting customers!!! she seems to just look pretty while her servers were stressing out!!! BOTTOM LINE, MIGHT AS WELL COOK AT HOME!!! SHAMEFUL TO FILIPINOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LEARN SOME RESPECT AND COURTESY! I will never recommend this place to anyone!!!! people nowadays need jobs!! if you cant do it right, DO NOT WORK!!!! stay home and be lazy!!! LADY BEHIND THE COUNTER...you are ridiculous at even being an owner!! get your damn fake face out your ass and handle your business like a professional should!!

Avoid Bad service, avoid bad service, avoid bad service... Their specialty "sisig", was served burnt...wtf!!! They did not have lechon kawali, so instead of telling the customers, they substitute it for more inihaw and when asked why they did that, the manager rudely replies.."we put enough inihaw and that should be good enough"... Wtf???... This place is horrible... After asking 4 times for water, i finally got up and got my own, Avoid it like the plague.. You have been warned!!!

This review is simply based on the sisig. First of all, I have to state that sisig is a party in my tummy...so yummy so yummy...haha... I've noticed a bunch of people say that the food at this establishment is a little pricey but for the sisig orders I've had, I think the pricing is right on. My family loves sisig and we come all the way from Sacramento just so that we can order some or we simply have guests who are coming our way order some and bring it on over. One order is a lot. I don't know any guy, heavy set or average, or can scarf down one order with rice and all the jalapenos and onions and sauce that comes with it. I think that's insane if they can and more props to them. This sisig is the "fake" sisig by all means since it doesn't have pig's ears and all the other parts of the pig to make it the "real" authentic sisig from the Philippines but I'm fine with that. I like my meat grilled to perfection, with the sauce on the side along with the chopped jalapenos and onions. I can add as much or as little as I like to my heart's content or to anyone who's going to devour this not-so-good for my healthy but oh so yummy that there's a party in my tummy goodness. A half tray is about $46 and some change which is good because that's about 4 orders. Believe me, it's A LOT. I was thinking two orders wasn't going to be enough for my husband and I because he can eat one order in a matter of a couple of days. I was able to have some for my family and share with my cousin's family who also LOVES sisig. The only problem was that we were missing some beer. Now, Sacramento needs to get with the program and have a place like House of Sisig. The food is good and it was fresh when I ordered it. I called ahead just to make sure that they had sisig for me to order. They had my half tray order ready in a matter of a couple of hours (only because I was close and didn't want to leave the house just yet). I would love to try the other entrees they have available but for now, I'll savour my yummy sisig and come back for the extras. So...what are you waiting for? Go and get some sisig...you know you want some...

We had no time to cook dinner so as a last resort, we came here to order some take-out. I haven't been here before, even though it's in our neighborhood. While waiting for the food, I couldn't resist listening to the conversation between two Filipino patrons in line. They were talking about San Francisco Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum, who won the Cy Young award last month. Conversation went something like this: FOB # 1: Yoooou know dat peetcher Tim Lincecum op da Giants? FOB # 2: Yess...baket? (Yes...why?) FOB # 1: He's a half Pilapeeno...I tink hiz mader is Pilapeeno. FOB # 2: Really? Hisss good huh? You kennot het dat pastball. FOB # 1: He won dat best pitcher op all of beisbol last year. But his dad is puti. (White) FOB # 2: Yeah...but hiss not American...I think hiss Europeeyan. FOB # 1: Yeah...I wonder what part of Canada hez prom? FOB # 2: I thenk Bancouver...day say hiss pamily is prom da Northwest area or Shuttle. (Seattle) What The Puck? We ordered some beef sisig, bangus (milkfish) and crispy pata. It hit the spot, and the crispy pata was pretty decent. Let's just say I was pleasantly surprised and satisfied. I didn't expect the food to be this good a quality and we'll probably order many more take-outs in the future. I always passed this place to and from work and never bothered to stop here. I learned my lesson to sometimes stop and smell the roses. Like Anthony Bourdain said, "Sometimes you just gotta open that uninviting door." You never know what you're gonna get. And...I got a pretty good free entertainment to go. 3 1/2 stars.

House of sisig is great! Usually when we go here we get the sisigsilog. But this time my friends and I decided to partake in their Kamayan meal. Kamayan is a communal way to eat. They lay banana leaves on the table and put all the food on these leaves and you eat with your hands or "kamay". You get an abundant amount of food and with great friends it's an awesome experience. I do wish you can pick and choose the food you get. One reason I'm giving them one less star is because the services isn't that great. I put our drink orders in and the guy screwed it up and took so long. We had to ask him more than twice for our drinks. Other than that the food was great.

I have yet to actually eat here. I hope to soon tho! Ive always just called for pick up. The sisig of course is good. I always get that and the bbq. No complaints on the food. When I come in to order to go, I dont wait very long. Staff works fast and are very friendly!

I'd probably die of a heart attack if I eat here everyday. I went to this place twice in one week and I know its bad for me but... its so damn yummy. I had the sisigselog - It is basically sisig with fried rice, egg and some vegetables. For those of you who don't know what Sisig is - its basically shredded, marinated pork. Warning - its fatty and its like pringles; once you pop you cant stop!! I've also had the tocilog and the tocino is pretty on point too. Tocino is more of a sweet pork. The meat was tender and juicy which I LOVED! I've had tocino from other Filipino restaurants and in my opinion, House of sisig makes it the best! I left out a star because it took a while for us to get our food. We ordered it to go and we waited a while.. probably 40 minutes.

I'm really picky about the Filipino restaurants that I go to but so far House of Sisig has got to be one of my faves. My family and I usually cook our own food but when I want some Tocilog, now this is the place to go. The staff, well they're not the friendliest at times but the food makes up for it. The Bicolano pinakbet is not as good as my mom's but it's close enough. This is where I ordered my daughter's lechon (slow roasted whole pig) for her baptism. I swear I would've given them 5 stars but they forgot to cut the lechon and I paid extra for it. Now time is of the essence if you're paying a lot of money for a hall that you're renting and then you get stuck cutting a whole pig. But other than that, the food here is good. Oh and if you want something less greasy, well then this is not the place for you(",)

After a friend, here from Berkeley, found this place on the internet, I told him I had passed by this place a hundred times! At first we stood in this line by the counter, because we had never been there and did not know we could seat ourselves. The table next to us was full of people eating off banana leaves with their hands, which we wanted to do, but apparently you have to tell your waiter/waitress if you do. The table next to us had lot's of great dishes brought to their table, such as an entire fried fish; simply plopped on their table. It looked amazing, and I want to order it the next time I stop by. My friend ordered the sisig silog, while I had the pork adobo. We both loved the sisig and adobo, and his mom was featured in The Chronicle for her Filipino cooking! There was more food than I knew what to do with. We had the sweetest young man help us, so we quite enjoyed the customer service! They could have a better decor..as it is just about the plainest looking restaurant I have ever seen; it feels like a tiny cafeteria (don't dress up!). Put up some paintings or photographs, something to look at after I get bored with the person I am eating with. Just kidding!!! Also, someone should either be directed to a table as soon as they enter, or just have a sign that says please seat yourself. The restaurant was pretty empty when we first sat down, but filled up by the time we left, on a Saturday at lunch time. I will most likely return.

I dont really know much about Filipino cuisine but from what I've seen and this may make me sound stupid but from what I;ve seen it consists of a lot of pork and fried items. Now I'm not trying to put down Filipino cuisine but it seems quite unhealthy. Anyways, the food I had here was fried and the option of some vegetables seemed close to none. And eating all this fried stuff wasnt that great for my stomach and my mouth. Lets just say I left the place with cuts on the inside of my mouth. yes the lumpia was fried and hot and cut my mouth, the garlic rice didnt help with that. I had a fried pork dish that i thought would of been juicy on the inside but was just as hard as the fried outside. A veggie dish that seemed to be flooded with a fish sauce smell didnt help much. In the end I was drinking a lot of water and picking at dishes ...and maybe I should of tried the sisig..but maybe next time...if i really have no other choice..

With a plethora of Filipino restaurants near where I live, I never thought of driving exclusively to House of Sisig. Even if it's only 2 exits away, I am really just that lazy. I have been to HoS before, but usually I just get the breakfast plates, which are really good. But this time I actually tried their a la carte. I got the sisig na baboy and asked for the onions to be cooked, because I can't eat raw onions. The server said that he had to ask first. He didn't come back to tell me that it was okay, but the dish came out with the onions cooked. Phew. It was very good. Possibly the best sisig I've ever had, and I don't even like sisig all that much. That last statement is highly subjective and not to be judged by real Filipinos who's had real Filipino food. The second dish was the House of Sisig Tadyang. It's beef short ribs with special BBQ sauce. This one is a winner for me. The beef is super tender and the sauce is sweet savory. Dishes like these are the reason why I can never be a vegetarian. For dessert, I had a halo halo to go. For some reason I still like Jollibee's halo halo better. Service was slow. We waited a while after we were seated and had to flag the server just get the menu. The two dishes came out about 10-15 minutes apart. So that was kinda annoying. Despite the slow service, I had a satisfying meal and hours later I'm still burping my dinner out.

Intrigued by the name, I was excited to try this place and made sure that it was on the "to-do" list when we visited the Bay. Not knowing what to expect, I found concept of eating on banana leaves and with your hands rather charming. The restaurant was a bit small and cramped. It was pretty crowded and hectic on a Friday night. We decided to take our food to go and waited about 20 minutes for our order. The service behind the counter was okay, although we did catch the owner trying to give our order to another customer. One of the employees called her out on it maybe cause he knew we were watching. We ordered pork sisig, garlic fried rice, crispy pata, inihaw na bangus, and chicken skins. The food smelled so good that the drive home was torture. The wait was absolutely worth it--everything was delicious. The sisig was perfect-- just the right amount of spicy and not greasy. The chicken skin was sinfully delish. Will definitely return the next time we're in town.

Worst Customer Service I've ever had. Someone came to take our order & then after we told him it he said hold on let me get a pen & asked for us to repeat it. They told me that their minimum for Lumpia orders is 24 when I've come here plenty of times & got less. I asked for soup for my daughter & got broth with onions that looked dirty sink water. The woman with the nose ring & the long hair who gave us our food rolled her eyes at us because they got our order wrong. Then continued in the back to loudly talk about us. I asked for soy sauce & I was given it with garlic I asked for it without it & they drained some garlic out & left some in. The only one who wasn't rude was the young guy. The rude woman was making sandwiches with bologna, eggs, & cheese & the owner told the cook you see how much you mean to me as if to show she was giving them some great lunch. The food was great but their service is horrible so I'll never be coming back.

Been here before and I liked the food but after today, I am never coming back. A great restaurant will have great food and even better customer service. Don't come here during the holidays and don't bother trying to order catered food. Apparently they're more interested in making cash than satisfying their customers. There were more than a dozen of us waiting for the same scheduled pickup and a few that had already been waiting for an earlier pickup time. They basically tell the people who show up later that if they were not here at the scheduled pickup time they had to give their food to someone else and she had to wait for everyone else that was there presently. Basically telling everyone to go F themselves. If you can't handle the amount of orders you are taking, DO NOT TAKE THEM! What's more important the dollars for today, or repeat customers with continued dollars in the future? You lost one loyal customer here.

This place lacks customer service. You walk in and people don't even greet you. It's pretty nasty actually if you think about how they allow people to eat with their hands. Have the customers ever thought about the bacteria on the table? Unless they sanitise the wipes and the table, bacteria's got to be crawling everywhere. I'd order to go but i wont eat here.

Okay, I need to preface this by saying that even though I am Filipino, I don't eat that much Filipino food. It's not exactly healthy. A lot of it is fried, and most plates consist of meat. But I have nothing against meat, so whatevs. Having said that, tocino is one of my favorites. Growing up it was always a treat when moms would bring some home. And I have to say that House of Sisig does it right. I've had other places where it's too fatty or too something else, but the tocino here is pretty damn good. I know other people rave about the sisig, but like I said, I didn't grow up eating that much Filipino food and never really fell in love with sisig. I've had the sisig here before, as well as the bistek...both pretty good. But since I'm a tocino lover, I'm giving a big thumbs up to the House for getting it right. ps. I never actually ate in the restaurant...just always got takeout. :) pps. Tocino, garlic rice, and an egg on top? Daaaaaamn....my mouth is watering!

My boyfriend took us here to eat for my father-in-laws birthday. A lot of people tend to eat here, because you can eat kamayan style (food served on banana leaves, and you eat with your hands). Just to let you know, the service here sucks!!! When we sat down, it took a few minutes before our waitress came to take our order. She had us sitting there for awhile, and didn't even give us water. By the time part of our order came, she still had not served us our drinks. She finally brought it when we were almost done. Also, when we originally ordered, we only ordered three things, but only got served our kamayan order. She didn't even put in the order for the other two things!!! We even had to ask someone else to get her, because she kept hiding in the back. I even saw the other waiter tell her that we needed her, she looked at me, then hid some more. Because of her, we had to cancel the remaining order, and she and the manager acted as if they didn't care. We left the place upset and still hungry. They are slow, do not listen to orders correctly, and have poor customer service!

OK, let me start off by saying I'm a white guy. Not that it matters, but you should know this going in... House of Sisig is hella good! This was one of my first restaurant exposures to Filipino cuisine. I've had the usuals (you know, lumpia, pansit, etc) and friends' houses and I've liked it all. So when my buddy from work - shot out to Jed - suggested we go here I was all in favor. What I tried: Pork Sisig - This tasty dish comes out on a sizzling platter with an uncooked egg freshly cracked on top. On the side comes a good portion of freshly chopped jalepenos and white onion. I prefer my sisig to be a little less smokey tasting but I would still recommend this for anyone who likes pork. Just don't look at all the grease! Sinigang -Talk about some tasty soup! The vinegar and veggies are great and it's a perfect accompaniment to the heartier dishes like sisig and pansit. Most def get this and sip it with your other food. Kare Kare - You know, I hate to say it, but I wasn't a fan. And I've had this other places so I like the dish, but HOS does it a little bland. After dumping in some salt and fish sauce I thought is was aight but I wouldn't get it there again. Sorry guys! Pansit Palabok - CRACKIN!!!! That's all I have to say. I wish HOS kept dinuguan on the menu. The time I went before my last visit I noticed it on the specials menu after I had already ordered so I couldn't add it on - well, I guess I could have but then I would have had waaaay too much. Come on HOS, throw this on the regular. I rated HOS 4 stars and not 5 for three reasons: 1) kinda expensive for the portion size, 2) rice costs more than it should especially because they know EVERYBODY is going to order it, and 3) they don't have dinuguan on the menu! But for reals, you have to try this place. And for my fellow white folks out there - if you haven't tried Filipino cuisine you are seriously missing out. Get your feet wet at the House of Sisig in Daly City. Yeeeeeee!!!

Was craving their food after watching my Mom's pics of a recently dine-in with relatives. The 3-stars posted by people doesn't do justice to this place. Here is my take: Ambiance (-1): Not impressive when walking in. Needs updating in their interiors. Service (-1): The staff isn't really accomodating, as listed by people's reviews. But they're not as bad as Tribu (from Union City). Food: Now this is where it gets better. Their menu has all the different -ilogs and Filipino dishes from your typical restaurants. What sets them apart is their separate kamayan menu. The kamayan menu has set dishes (depending on the number of people in your group. Since I was with my wife and two kids, we only ordered for three people. This consisted of a fair share of lechon kawali, chicken bbq, inihaw na tilapia and squid, crispy shrimp...all with mango, tomatoes, onions, kamote que, and salted egg. We ordered their their pork sisig with egg on top as a separate dish. All these were on top of a banana leaf (yes where you eat with your hands..ala Filipino style, as if you were in the Philippines). The flavoring was fantastic as I ate more than I normally would. And there was a lot of take-home food as well. I do recommend this place if you want to relive how it was in the Philippines and if you like inihaw dishes. I haven't tried their regular dishes but will soon try it....

Ordered off the Kamayan menu. For 3 people $36.95 is a value. Considering you are given Pork, Chicken, and Fish. The food itself was mediocre but I go there to support a local business. People can judge this place and say the service sucks but when you actually take the time to listen to the wait staff...their heart is in the right place and they work hard so BACK OFF! This time around, the waitress was having such a bad day. When we asked her if she was ok, she mentioned the possibility of becoming homeless and that she knows it's best to keep her spirits up for her kids. That's the reality of a recession.In spite of her situation, she's trying to stay positve though. I'm just trying to encourage everyone to have some compassion. Servers don't have the most lively job and sometimes it amazes me how people bash on them. I enjoy eating with my hands because that's how I grew up. The only thing I would say you should pass on is the bbq chicken skewers.

Came here after church with my family and had a HORRIBLE experience. First, we sat ourselves because we stood by the door and not one server greeted us. I'm sure they saw us, there were 6 of us. Second, we sat in the middle table for 20 minutes with no menu and servers walked by and ignored us. Finally a server came and asked us, "are you ready to order" WTF is she serious WE HAD NO MENU. So we ordered anyway from their kamayan recipe. And ordered drinks as well. Third, another 15-20 minutes went by and still NO WATER and drinks. The kids were thirsty so I got up and got plastic cups and a pitcher of water for us. Worst of all, they include 15% gratuity in your bill even if they don't wait on you. Horrible service. Do not come here. It was a wate of time and money. Fourth, they didn't include the salted egg because they "ran out" yet failed to tell us that upon ordering. Fifth, they charged us for the sodas and juices we never got. This is a money hungry place with little or no respect to their customers. This place gets the ultimate thumbs down. Food is not even all that. I've had better sisig. Service is horrible. Staff are unfriendly. Place is small and dirty.

This was one of the first Filipino restaurants we ate at after moving to the Bay Area. Surprisingly enough I've never eaten in the restaurant or ever tried their sisig. The first time we went there it was packed so we took our food to go. And the wait took forever! Probably about 30 minutes for two dishes. Their cripsy pata is really tasty. I think its their soy sauce with chopped jalapeno that makes it good too. Their Pancit Palabok is way too fishy for my taste. TheLumpia Shanghai is decent as well.

Lida N.

this is my first time here and the food was pretty good (the two dishes that i tried). shrimp, pumkin, string bean in some kind of coconut curry sause was ok and sisig was delish. -2 stars for the service...had to ask for water more than twice to get our first fill plus we got our boxes and check after two other customers eventhough we asked first.

We are so upset because me and my husband were sitting down alreadyand ready for our order but then one staff guy approach us and said oh somebody's gonna sit there already when infact he was the one who pin pointed us our table that thing was so unethical and so disrespectful. They're so unorganized and the place is too small that was supposed to be our first time there but Im very sure it will be our last time too visiting that place!! He didn't even apologize!! Damn try to enroll yourself to ethics class!!!

Their food was good. Everything from the crispy pata, lichon kawali, pork sinigang, and of course their sisig! Oh and how can I forget their garlic rice, it's soo addicting! Yummm. The restaurant itself is a bit small and shabby, but when it comes down to it, it's the food that reaally matters! Now if only they served their sisig on a sizzling platter, then I'd say this is as good as it gets. But, it's alright I guess. Sisig I still love you!

I came by the middle of last week after buying something at the Kukje Markey next block over. When I think of Filipino food, the top item that comes to mind us sinigang, my personal favorite. That's what I ordered, the one with shrimp. Their portion is just right for one person to finish (unlike another place in SSF where it was bigger than I can handle). It was quite sour but I guess that's how they should be. The service was not the mist organized (had to ask for my bill more than once), but overall not bad. Also nothing fancy about the interior but better than most other Filipino restaurants nearby that I've seen.

Dahlia C.

Ok, I really wished I could have tried dining in this place because being Filipino, I love good Filipino food, especially Sisig anything.... BUT, I'm so glad I saved the trip because after my experience with them over the phone (and reading all the negative reviews afterwards), I refuse to support a business who has ZERO quality customer service... I don't care how good the food is, if I'm being treated poorly, no business deserves my hard earned money. So here's the story... I called earlier in the day to order a party tray for pick up later in the evening. My plans were changed and I wanted to call and see if I could pick it up earlier, but after this initial experience on the phone, I am not planning on ordering from them any time soon or ever... The first time I called and waited for a long time, I'm thinking, "Ok, must be a busy night." but then they hang up on me. Okay...let's try it again. When I called the second time, same EXACT THING. They told me to hold on, waited another 5 or more minutes while hearing them talk, then 'CLICK'. I'm sitting there saying "Hello? Hello?" and I hear a dial tone... I'm trying to reason it out, "Maybe they had to use the bathroom so badly they totally forgot? Maybe someone else walked by and hung up the phone. Maybe someone choked on a some bones from their bangus sisig." I don't know, whatever. Then, I called right back a third time, and I didn't even get a chance to speak, when she answered all rude like "Why is this woman keep calling?!?!".... "Um...If you would maybe take time to talk to me, then I wouldn't have to call so many times???"....and once again I was left hanging to be put on hold for what seemed eternity. Keep in mind, each time I called I'm hearing them talk, laugh, just doing whatever it is that is more important than just answering my call. All I wanted to do is ask a question. One. Simple. Question. And when they hung up on me this third time around, it wasn't just a 'click', but whoever it was, literally slammed the phone. Seriously?? It was so ridiculous that I had to laugh. By now, it really got me so turned off that the 4th time I called and actually got someone to finally take time to talk to me, I was happy to cancel my order after wasting, kid you not, 20 minutes to talk to somebody... Now, I know it's probably busy with a short staff, but hopefully they listen to the reviews and get some extra help. It won't do their business any good or attract more customers with that type of system. Like I said, I really wished I could have tried them out, but maybe I will SOMEDAY, when they have better management or hire people who can provide better service on the phone AND in the restaurant. Obviously, the majority of Yelpers would agree. And if that doesn't convince you, be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom and click on "Filtered" links where people have their reviews hidden, because they don't want you to know the truth....

The food is delicious, authentic, hearty, and very comforting. This is not diet food by any stretch of the imagination. Expect a ton of flavor, fat, and food coma. I can't think of another food that makes me feel more connected to my Filipino heritage than Tosilog with fresh tomato or perhaps Sinigang with lots of rice. The halo halo is pretty good, too, considering it's pre-packed. The service is...awful, which is to be expected.

elizabeth c.

I visited with my husband and father in law. My father in law ordered the kalderetta and we shared the pork sisig and garlic fried rice. Are you serious? The potatoes were raw and the beef was fatty. Let me elaborate...the potato was browned but cold and hard when you bit into it and there were 3 chucks of white fat on the platter. I was literally draining out the oil of the kalderetta onto a spare plate. Being a house of anything, one would expect something pretty good. I didn't even get good. I really wanted to give this place a great rating, because of all the positive reviews and the people were so nice. I just can't. The sisig was ok, but I have to deduct a star for serving ok sisg at the HOUSE of SISIG. For me, this is not a revisit.

Tina L.

Their Adobo is a bit gross, it had A LOT of bones in it and I couldn't tell the bones apart from the garlic. The bones were small particles possibly similar in size of the garlic. I don't know, but I didn't like it. The second time I came here, I ordered the Longsilog, and it tasted MUCH MUCH better than the Adobo. It was absolutely delicious! Their garlic rice is perfect! I love it! -2 stars for their nasty Adobo.

The portions are huge here and the food is delicious. I always get topsilog, sisigsilog, and the beef sinigang. We always leave with leftovers which is my favorite part. The only downside is that the service here is pretty slow. You seat yourself and it takes a while before anyone even brings you a menu. It takes just as long for anyone to take your order. The food comes out pretty quickly but asking for the bill or any other service just takes too long in my eyes.

Beini S.

Good food, terrible service. Truly, truly terrible service. We asked the waiter for a different kind of sauce, he looked confused, and said they never had it, which is ridiculous because it's the most common sauce there is in Filipino food, the shrimp paste stuff, not sure what it's called. The waiter didn't write down one of our orders, and tried to convince us that we didn't order it. He never looked us in the eye, and seemed way more preoccupied with avoiding our gaze of wanting more sauce or the check. I would come again though, because good food is more important than bad service, to a point, and this place is right on the line, but hasn't quite crossed it.

Anna Marie T.

This place is off the hook! Well, their sisig is, at least! It's a nice little, traditional, family-feel, restaurant. I like how you can order in both family style or personal platters.Their pork sisig was AMAZING. It was well marinated, cooked slowly to a perfect texture, and very filling. I was happy with the fact that the quality of the meat was there. Most definitely no fillers or excessive fat. Their garlic fried rice was okay. I felt like they added a tablespoon of garlic on top of some white rice. I haven't had the chance to try anything else, but I've only heard great things. Without a doubt, I'll be back to try their silogs and kare kare.

The food here would be as close to getting my "Lola's" as cooking would allow. I really enjoy the food here. The girls and I have now set a day out of the week to do "Filipino night" with the kids and we're all a pretty diverse group of gals. So, for Filipino food to be our fist choice and House of Sisig to be our destination says a lot for the quality of food fare. However, I would love to give this place a 5 star rating for the food itself, but an establishment's stellar rating should consist of an overall good experience. I've consistently experienced a lack of good customer service here at the House of Sisig. Whether it be an instance of numerous staff members (up to 4) behind the counter looking for a lost ticket with no food and customers standing there with ZERO acknowledgment of their presence to a mishap on your order and their only attempts of reconciling the issue would be, "Oh, well did you want to order something else?" HELL NO I DON'T!!! I just sat here for over 30 minutes just for you to mess it up anyways??? Really??? But the whole reason for my review would the experience that I last had there when ordering TO GO... There was a couple dining there and the girl seemed to be introducing her guy friend to the variety of foods that the Filipino culture had to offer (I know because I was sitting right next to them as I waited for my order). I assumed that she may have ordered an item wrong so when it came to their table, she alerted her server. He didn't understand her request so began interrogating her with questions such as, "DID YOU OR DID YOU NOT ORDER THIS ITEM?!!?" He began yelling at her saying, "WELL, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT'S WHAT YOU WANTED IF YOU DID OR DIDN'T ORDER THAT ITEM! SO, TELL ME, DID YOU OR DID YOU NOT ORDER THIS ITEM!!!" (over and over again he yelled that to her) and the whole restaurant started staring... She started crying and telling her guy friend that even her dad doesn't yell at her like that. I felt really bad for her. I feel like her friend should have stood up for her as well but hey, pick your battles right? I felt that was ABSOLUTELY inappropriate behavior from a server. House of Sisig...what will you do to step your Customer Service up? Too bad majority of the patrons here wouldn't visit the Yelp website to make a conscious decision to come or not based on a review of bad service...but I sure hope that they figure it out.

My cousin goes to school in the City, so when I was in town to visit, he took me to this restaurant because his friend worked there and he felt the food was up to par. Because of it's name, we HAD to have the sisig, which is one of the best I've ever had. Their garlic rice was ok, but their fried chicken, eaten with either Jufran or Mang Tomas is the best!

Resa N.

****Rating is more like a 2.5*** I used to come here frequently when in the DC or Westlake area. I actually really like the sisig here, esp the SISIGSILOG or BANGSILOG dishes. Until a few years ago, I've never had sisig like this (where the meat is grilled and not cooked/soaked in tons of oil). The other food we've tried; SINIGANG, KARE KARE and PANCIT was just OK to me, not great but not memorable either. The service really isn't that great though. The few times I've eaten there, it was pretty slow and it wasn't even crowded. The staff was in the corner table either eating or wrapping utensils / napkins all times. We had to call them over just to get some attention. Since then, we only order for pick-ups and/or call-in orders.

The longanisa is the bomb. Never had it like this before! It's is prepared fried so it looks like a regular hotdog. It's fried but the taste is even better without the fatty juices. The only reason why I'm giving this 4 stars was because service was kind of slow...but it was semi busy. Definitely will be a regular here

This place is terrible. I wish I could rate lower than 1 star. The place is filthy. If you don't believe me, take a walk to the restroom to wash your hands. On your way there, you will see where they "clean" the leaves you eat off of. You might as will be eating off of the table itself. If that doesn't turn you off, their service is bad too. The staff is just really incompetent. After we ordered, they served us our side dishes and completely forgot about the rest of the food. We asked for our rice hoping that will show them that we did not receive our order yet, but they just looked confused. Rather than looking into it, the workers just passed by with a perplexed look on their faces wondering why we weren't eating. After some time, we finally asked where the rest of our food was, and that is when they realized that no one had been cooking it. Others that came in after us were eating and no one bothered to look into why we did not get our food yet. One of the workers got defensive and yelled at me that the reason why it took so long was because they were short-staffed, but our food magically arrived within 5 minutes after they had realized their mistake. They did not even admit to what actually happened. I think there is just a plain lack of care for customers or cleanliness or even decency in this place. If you are reading this and still feel like you have to give this place a try, then I will also add that the food is expensive too. Eating with my hands is a good gimmick, but it shouldn't triple the price of the food. There are many other Filipino places out there that have better quality food for a cheaper price. This place makes me ashamed that Filipinos would serve food in such a disgusting and unprofessional manner. This place does not deserve to stay in business.

Not bad. I love sisig and it's pretty good here. I wouldn't consider this place my go to location for sisig but it goes the trick when I'm on 280 heading home and can't make it to Ongpin. Service is on the low scale but I order to go so I don't have to deal with that. 3 stars show on my rating but it should be maybe a 2.5.

I've only been here once, and it was a pretty good experience. Came here with a couple of friends for lunch and all the dishes except the chicken adobo was fantastic. Maybe it was because I like adobo with more of an age to it. (Ya'll Adobo eaters know what I mean :)) The service was good, and the overall price for a meal for three is pretty affordable.

My second attempt at ordering food for a party and it was unsuccessful again. My Mothers 70th birthday party which I was hosting. It was recommended by a former customer that I not use their delivery service so I went to pick it up personally. We ordered pancit bihon without onions and made sure it was written on the receipt. When I arrived at the predetermined time, my order was ready but had onions. Mom is allergic. I had to wait for a new full tray to be made and the woman behind the counter had only one concern: She said and I quote "we have to eat the cost." Meanwhile I left my own party. Everyone at my party was happy with the flavor of the product but there was very little meat and shrimp. FYI the full tray with tax is $93. I will not be returning.

Came here for lunch on my birthday on Sept. 3rd. Seating didn't take long but everything else did. Service was slow and we kept asking for what we needed twice because our waitress kept forgetting it. They should be glad their food made up for it. I love eating with my hands since I grew up in the Philippines and we used to do that there. It's more relaxed that way. hehe I'm a seafood lover so their kamayan menu satisfied me with all the grilled seafood. We ordered pork sisig too and it was tasty. I would come back for the food but they need to improve their service really bad.

Food is good BUT the service is horrible! We waited for just water for over an hour and the waiter just stood at the cashier! My friend actually had to go get the water for us!

Now I don't want this review for me but for anyone else to feel disgusted. I'm still going to go here no matter what. So I usually love going to place, love the food & the service is good to mediocre BUT THIS TIME OMG. First off, the waiter named Joshua said, "Take a seat anywhere." We decided to sit in the middle table that seats four. Then he goes, "Oh can you guys actually sit somewhere else?" That's not really anywhere now is it? Took a different seat, took a few minutes to look at the menu, decided we're ready & wait. It's like five minutes later and my boyfriend sees that he's just eating, talking to the other waiters & give them little tiny massages. He finally saw us when he gave someone else their order. Got my food, my bf got his about... a few minutes later. The thing about this though is that inbetween my food and my partner, he was talking to his other waiter friend, playing & scratching his hair. My boyfriend also said that he saw him scooting some of the food towards the middle of my boyfriends plate. Ate our food. It was great. Had to ask for water from another waiter. Had to ask for the check from another waiter. While waiting for check though, we looked around the walls & noticed little bugs crawling ALL OVER the place. It was disgusting to see. Bleh. Once he handed us the check, I noticed his hands were wet. I thought to myself, "he washes his hands now?"

A. I guess west coast flip eats taste EXACTLY the same as the east coast flip eats....even though there are like a bzillion more flips here B. Food was on point (sisig...I could eat that 24/7...then have a heart attack) C. Price was about right D. I gotta get outta here, too many flips eating flip food I wish I spoke flip so I'd say 'I would hit it again' in flip

For some strange reason I was craving fried egg and rice and I decided I was gonna get me some House of Sisig for dinner. I don't know. I had the sisigsilog (chopped pork with jalapenos & onions served with garlic fried rice and fried eggs) It tasted just like the 1st time I had it, delicious. But it just didn't satisfy me the way I thought it would. Maybe I waited too long to go eat (we got there after 9pm) and my craving has subsided. Who knows who knows. Then I tried the halo halo. I've never had it here, but my sister said it was good. Omg...ppl are probably going to hate me for this. But I did not like it at all. The mango ice cream was good. But other than that, it was not great. It was packed with shave ice with barely any beans or jelly and some kind of mushy fruit. *hides* I took maybe 3 bites. And that was that. I think it's time to venture out and try other Filipino places just to see whats out there.

i love this place, the food is very good, feels like home, this place never fails to amaze, reason i gave them a 4 star is their service sucks and always seems like they bring out the appetizer last, but alas most of the food we order is always delicious, i cant say enough how good the food is, try it you'll love it.

Colin H.

Short ribs, lechon, crazy pata, and the sisig were prettty good. The disappointing parts were the garlic rice ( not enough flavor ), the bistek ( way too salty ), and the dessert drink ( tapiocas hard, and way too sweet ). I'd go back for the pata, it was fried perfectly.

Enjoyed this Kamayan style with my family. My 2 kids loved using their hands to eat. Banana leaves on the table, the food is served in the middle of the table. This is 3rd world country style, hahahaha... no plates no utensils, use your hand to pick up food and in to your mouth. Food was fine, the 4 servings is more than enough for a party of 5 with food left for to go. I love taking my kids to this types of restaurant for the experience. Kamayan means using your hands without utensils. I'm pretty sure you can ask for a fork and knife if you're not up to it.

This is a bad review as you can see, since I gave them only two stars. Let's talk about the food. In my experience here in the bay area, most Filipino restaurants boasts that they have something special on the menu. Whether its an abundance of choice on a buffet, a cheap alternative to drive through with mediocre food (we'll mediocre has one up against fast food any day), a fusion of some sort (you try figuring it out how what they serve is considered Asian fusion), or that they're place has been visited by Filipino artists (who had no choice but to go there, since the production company can only afford to take them there, or they know the owner). Barbecued meats - ugh. More like charred meats with bland over bland taste. Its pretty much shoveling a piece of burnt charcoal into your mouth, with the difference that charcoal costs less and maybe more edible. Seafood - its like having a really great student, with all the wits and charms and has the potential to do greatness in the near future, only to find out that no one how to nurture what he/she have. Overcooked shrimp, overpriced Tilapia that been sat too long on the grill, gummy squid...... Menu. Couldn't they just put there Sinigang, then expound through table service that they have a choice of meat and souring agent. It just feels like clutter, as well as the barbecued stuff and the adobo and ...silog. (I did the ... to the silog because you can just add something there and voila a complete meal). They have this thing now called Kamayan. Which is a good idea. Too bad its just stays as a good idea. As far as I've been to a lot of places, they would not budge on me asking to replace the damn fried shrimp and squid with the sinigang na bangus belly. 8 pieces of shrimp and a whole squid costs more than 1 slab of boneless bangus. Check your local Asian grocery and see for yourself. $2.99 for two slabs of boneless bangus and 3.99 up for a lb. of shrimp as well as the squid. Talk about doing a de-service against their customers. What's up with the sign "We reserve the right to refuse service". Its 2011, plus it does nothing on their end but an eyesore. Waiting 15 minutes to however long they deem to for the order that you did in advanced is definitely one of the reasons why I'm coming back to this place. Also sarcasm is my first language. Doesn't any worry about those pitchers of ice cold water just sitting there on the counter? It sits there for no one knows how long and they serve those to people. The so called "condiments" for the Kamayan feast sits by the counter as well under those non-working heat lamps. A fly the size of jellybean greeted me coming in and then swarmed the condiments after. Bon appetit. This is why our cuisine still couldn't penetrate the world of culinary awesomeness. The care, the attention, the service, the ambiance and the consistency of the dishes is nowhere near perfection. It was too bad for me when I decided to give this place a new chance with the addition of their Kamayan menu. Such a waste.

I always like to order the Sisigsilog all the time because it comes with garlic rice, jalapeÃ±os, fried egg, pork and sauce. The food is always great and tasty. The only down part is that the customer service needs some improvement. The servers take forever to bring you the menu and during the time you are eating they never look around on the floor to see who need more water and etc.... You have to wave them down or go up to the counter. I see the waiters in the background just chatting with their fellow coworkers and not paying attention to the people. That's the part I feel they lack service wise.

Terrible, terrible, terrible! As another yelp* rating mentions, avoid at all cost! We had a group of about 40 friends who had reservations for the evening. Everything was confirmed, by email, in writing. When we got there, the waitresses told us that they did not know about our reservation. We explained that we made the reservation with so and so, who turned out to be the owner! Rather than apologize, she had the audacity to tell us that we can only stay for an hour or so, to accomodate their "regulars". Mind you, this was a week night and we were emailed our reservations! Tables and chairs had to be re-organized for our group, and we all helped the staff. For many of us, it was the first time that they tried "kamayan". Unfortunately, rather than learn from the experience and enjoy the cultural and culinary merits of this dining style, none will go back to patronize this place after being treated like "s**t". As I want to support a kabayan, I thought about writing the owner so she can be more accomodating in the future. My friend who helped me organize this event, told me, that's okay. She does not care because she thinks that she's someone. Yeah, someone who does not know how to treat her customers. Sad :(

The only thing I've ordered from here is their Lumpia. I took it as take out. It wasn't bad. There was A LOT for a single person to eat. The price was decent. I"ll come back. I think I should stay for lunch/dinner since a lot of other people say it is decent pricing for their quality.

This place is called "house of Sisig" when there's only 3 or 4 types of sisig, and that is the grilled Pork sisig, which most of the time, burnt or overcooked. They have Sisig na Bangus(milkfish. Well for me any restaurant that has sisig na bangus, I'm sure its good. so you gotta have to try this!!f Sisig na Pusit(squid) House of Sisig Tadyang(grilled short ribs). i bet the chicken sisig is jealous for not making it to the line up, and they're missing the crunchy crispy Pork sisig, which I like the most. What I like the most about this restaurant, is they're celebrating CHRISTMAS everyday, they have Christmas light and Christmas lantern too, on the month of JULY!! And they will take care of you, by getting your own water, sauces, napkins.. not gonna happen again.. enough being sarcastic.. this place is affordable, no doubt about that. this is just base on my experience. You gotta try it for yourself, and let everyone knows about it..

The food was pretty good. However, I've had better. Wanted to give this place a chance cuz I thought it'd be a place I'd want to visit again and again..but eh, me thinks not. The sisig didn't have pork ears but was still pretty goood. The adobo was a little dry and was just clumps of pieces of meat instead of full pieces. However, the service was delayed at all times: -Had to get their attention to be seated which took some time. -Had to wait 20-30 minutes to get food (a white guy next to us got his food 3 minutes after he ordered and his food looked hotter, fresher and wayyy more nicely prepared) -Had to interrupt the group of waiters having a chit chat session in the back to get our check. OVERALL: not too satisfied. I've had better.

ahjie t.

I want to give House of Sisig at least 3 stars, I really do but.... The food and service... We ordered the "Kamayan for two" and and extra order of bangus sisig. The first part of the order came out after about 10 minutes of waiting... The server (a girl who said she was new, just a few months on the job) told me, "Ma'am, sorry but the condiments will come later..." I said, ok. Thinking later means that she will go to the back and promptly come out after she fetches the condiments....20minutes later, the condiments came. During those 20minutes, I see our server helping the to-go counter, bussing tables, and disappearing in the kitchen, that is why I could not catch her attention so I can ask her about my food. . Me thinks she was wearing too many hats in this place. (There was another server who was nice enough to give me my soda but complained when we asked him about our condiments that were missing- he said he was busy with his own tables). (Condiments -- diced tomatoes and onions, bagoong, vinegar dip, lumpia dip, fried sweet potatoes) When she came to give us the rest of the food that came with the "kamayan" order, I asked her where our bangus sisig is...She said, I will check,Ma'am....about 10 minutes later, she came back to our table saying they did not have bangus sisig...GRRRRRRRRR.... So we ate our food...the "kamayan" came with: grilled small tilapia --was grilled very good. the fish was not dry. it was actually tasty. bbq chicken (a handful) -- was very good. very tasty. boiled eggplant (about half of an eggplant) -- yuck! wish they served the eggplant "torta" way. lechon kawali (4 small pieces) -- the pork was somewhat dry but edible. lumpiang shanghai --tasted like the frozen ones i buy from the asian stores. When we finished eating, we saw that our server is still busy being jane-of-all-trades, we decided to go to the counter to just pay there directly...the lady there (I think I read her name as esther) who i think could be the owner/manager said that they will give us our bill at our table. So I sat my ass back down on my chair. Again, our server, who was supposed to be getting our check ready, was running around the place doing I don't know what but I was certain she wasn't tallying up our check... After 10 minutes of waiting for a check, I got up, looked at their menu for the prices of what we ordered, went back to my table and left money for the amount of what we ate...Sorry, no tips... Never again...

i haven't had a lot of filipino food but compared to the i had previously, this one is not as good. i noticed that there isn't a "right" way to cook filipino food, it's more of a preference on which home cooking style you prefer. they had a good amount of customers on a friday night, the place was half full. we ordered: - Sisigsilog - grilled prok diced and flavored with a special sauce topped with onions and jalapeno peppers - Sinigang na Baka - beef and assorted vegetables in tamarind broth - Adobong Manok - chicked braised in soy sauce, garlic and vinegar - Pancit Bihon - stir-fried rice stick noodles with meat, shrimp and vegetables the grilled pork in the sisig was a little dry but i have never had sisig before so i don't know if it's suppose to be like that. the Sinigang na Baka was very refreshing, more on the sour side. i liked it cuz it had a kick to it. the Adobong Manok was ok, it's chicken marinated in soy sauce. the Pancit was ok, a little on the salty side also. i m not sure if i'll be coming back, maybe if i don't feel like driving down to SSF for filipino food, i might come here.

MMMM HMMM :D Delicious food! I always come here with family for dinner when were all hungry. It's one of our favorite filipino cuisines or even the BEST one so far. The size of the restaurant isn't that big or that small but hospitable. What I like most about House of Sisig is the fact that the food comes in huge portions (Just look at the pictures). I also end up having left-overs to bring home. Dishes I`ll recommend are the Sizzling Pork Sisig and the Pancit Bihon. Yum! And dont forget about the Halo-Halo.

O'Shea J.

Wowoweewow. This place is absolutely off-the-fucking-hook. It's like the Filipino Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles. 1. Pork sisig - chopped up pork with diced onions and jalepenos. This would go well as a taco w/ corn tortillas. 2. Lechon kewali - I've never had anything pork quite like this. Chiccaron-like. So crispy, yet so tender, so buttery. The sweet dipping sauce complements it well. 3. Bistek - slices of beef sauteed w/ onions, garlic and soy sauce. YUM. 4. Pork sinigang - way too sour but it wasn't my choice to order this so oh well. I could eat this shit everyday. Well maybe not. Our bill came out to over $40 fucking dollars. For two people! For Filipino food! Oh hell no!

Trish L.

Food portions are good here but....it's one of those hole in the wall places. Like other reviewers, we saw little cockroaches on the walls and there was a piece of hair in one of the dishes. Be prepared to flag down the servers if you need something like more water or the bill. For the food, I give it three stars but it could be higher if it weren't for the piece of hair in it. Stars would be lower but since it is a hole in the wall place and I don't expect it to be clean, so it's for the food only.

tom l.

The food is good. The salong was a great value, garlic rice, adobo, and a fried egg for under $10. The shanghai rolls were killer, good flavor and alot for $8. This place is almost non descript, and you could almost miss it if you blinked. My server was very helpful in offering suggestions. I will be back.

Sorry but the name "House of Sisig" can be deceiving. First of all, their customer service sucks ass. I called in to order ahead of time and they put me on hold for like 5 minutes to attend to someone in the restaurant. When you go inside, everything seems to be chaos. The workers are rude, mainly the women who work there. I ordered 1 sisig a la carte and everytime I order sisig there, it is ALWAYS burnt! Bleehh. Every bite I put in my mouth, I get that burnt taste. No bueno. I mean the whole banana leaf thing is cool, but I'd still give it a 1 star. Hopefully they read their reviews and make some changes.

My first Filipino restaurant experience despite growing up with Filipino friends was quite delicious. My sister and I had the Sisigsilog and the Longanisa plates. Both were really tasty and I wish my rice cooker was always filled to the brim with their garlic rice. If only the decor and ambiance weren't so gloomy, I think I would rate this establishment higher.

Lady K.

meh-pork sisig was good although I prefer beef. ordered that, the thick and thin pancit (miki?), calamari, garlic rice, and 2 sides of eggs. rice was kinda hard, and the pancit was too saucy. & i didnt appreciate the fact that they snuck a fish ball in there (who really wants to get any kinda ball slipped in their food?). the photo: the calamari..the cardboard calamari. now, being that they snuck that fish ball in the pancit, i wouldnt put it past them that they KNEW this calamari was burnt/overcooked---the meaty part was as crispy as the batter. so before i could send it back..eff it, my youngest was devouring it, (probably thinking it was chips or something). whatever. i dont think ill return. Kuyas or Ongpin are my first choice for sisig, ill stick with them. damn the yelp pictures for luring me in to this place!

Gigi T.

3.5 stars. This was my first dine-in Filipino restaurant, so, AGAIN, I let the bf order. We ordered some lumpias as appetizer, they came in BIG portion and were crunchy and super tasty. The bf got the chicken adobe silog and i got the fried pork chop silog. They both came with DELICIOUS garlic rice with 2 eggs. The chicken adobe came out to be a little dry for our taste, but the taste was really good. Portion-wise was huge also, very good for $6.45. The fried pork chop was HEAVENLY delicious and super juicy, served with lemon garlic vinaigrette. The combination of the sauce and chops was perfect. The fried pork chop was immediately made less heavy because of the sauce. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. We walked out with food coma and were ready to lay down and watch the inside of our eyelids.... (-_-)zzzz Next time imma try the fish.... I just didn't know bangus means fish, otherwise I would've get that one already!

Emily T.

To serious Filipino cuisine connoisseurs: You'll have to excuse this review - my Filipino food experience is limited to halo halo and chicken adobo. Sisig - sorta like carnitas with diced jalapenos, garlic rice, and an egg. Very tasty with this thinned out soy-ish BBQ sauce. I could definitely see myself eating sisig all day e'ryday. Yep. My friend also ordered this soup - tamarind (?) highlighter red with lots of shrimp, bok choy, and tomatoes. Its name eludes me. Made my lips pucker with delight. They were really generous with the shrimp too and curiously, the soup made the shrimp heads more fun and tasty to suck (that's what she said). If this is how Filipino people eat all the time then I need to seriously consider identifying with a new ethnic group.

thien h.

This place is not shady with there portions. My friend and I ordered sisig Basically stir fried pork on a host skillet with an egg on top. I thought they would have cooked the jalapeno and onions inside of the sisig but we had to just pour that in ourselves, but it was still good. We also had the fried pork fat skin as well. The fried pork skins was extra crispy and oily any type of combination that would give you a heart attack. I would definitely come to this place again just to try out more of there food.

Anna P.

I finally got a chance to try this place...and fellow yelpers your reviews were all true! Went with the BF today, there was no wait, pretty clean place, I ordered a sisiglog and he ordered pork barbeque and mango juice. The sisiglog is pretty good, I might try their fish sisig next time though after i saw someone order it. Oh and the calmansi juice mmm.. I haven't had it in hella long. The BF love his food too he said it's better than he other places I took him too. Mango juice was very sweet and refreshing. The workers were nice too. Total: $ 18 something My belly is yet again satisfied after wanting sisig for hella long! ;) 4 1/2 stars.

We arrived here and they took about 10 mins to realize we were there. A lady approached us and asked how many, we said 10. She looked at us and walked away without telling us how long our wait will be. Another 10 mins, a guy comes up to us and said "10 people, ok wait". What kind of shi... is that?. Fast forward. We finally sat down and told them our order. Usually, restaurants are quick with their drinks...they served the appetizer which was tomato and onion before the drinks. We wanted our drinks *_*. The food took forever and we had pregnant women here. As a big group, they had an a la carte menu and we ordered it. one of the items, they ran out of catfish. We wanted our catfish. It was terrible. The food was good, not hella bomb, but good. Not kuya's on San Bruno status...mmmmmm ^_^. As soon as we were done with our meal. We wanted dessert. They didn't even come to us if we wanted dessert. We had to get them ourselves. I wanted fried banana with ice cream and my cousins got the halo halo. Oh hey! They ran out of the fried banana. lastly, i used my card to pay for our bill. you know what they did, the accidently used my card to pay off for another guest's bill...really? luckily i was in front of them when they did the transaction. so, they voided the wrong guests payment and i asked for the voided receipt just in case if it does go thru and show them that they were suppose to void it. Grr... Overall, your better off going to lee hao (?) or max's. Highlight: No good customer service No water in the beginning No fried banana No catfish Only GOOD (not hella good) thing: Food

Had dinner at the House of Sisig with the family last night and the food and service was horrible. The place was dirty when we walked in with un-bused tables and food everywhere on the floor. The server took 25 + minutes before coming over to greet and take our order. Our coconut juice drinks was imported from the island of Boracay Philippines that's why it took an hour to be served. The coffee never came because the beans from South America was still growing. The food came in Cold like SEBO Cold and I, yes I had to microwave our food. We had to serve our selves our own water plates and utensils since the place was under staff and server was busy with other tables. What a very horrible dinning experience. Never Again will I be coming back to this place again.

4 1/2 and yes you have to order the sisig filipino spot all plates made well I would not recommend the Kare Kare though not to tender and sauce is watery. everything else made on point, bangus, pata, kawali, silogs, even sinigang. ordering the sisig for a big fight is always good order two enuff for 15 folks, just remember to make rice or the spot your going already have rice ready haha. food **** everything good except the kare kare price $$ depends on what is ordered most items under $10 ambiance *** wood paneling, glass tops on the tables service **** if you are filipino they will talk to you in tagalog haha this is not there fault but parking sucks.

O sisig ko! Miss na miss kita-ah-ah-ahhhh.... Translation: Oh my sisig! I really miss you! Maging sa pagtulog ko ikaw ang nakikita.... Translation: When I sleep, it's you that I see. O sisig ko, miss na miss kita.... Lagi kang nasa isip sinta.... Translation: You're always on my mind darling. Hindi nilang tatawaging "House of Sisig" ang restauranteng ito kung hindi masarap and sisig nila. At hindi lang ang sisig ang masarap, marame pa silang mga Pinoy favorites gaya sa adobo, lumpia, sinigang, at huwag kalimutan ang kanilang mga silogs! Translation: Hella good.

The best sisig I've ever had! The other menu items were good too... but the sisig (marinated in a vinegar sauce with peppers and onions) was the star of our meal!

My Filipino food fix whenever I make a trip up to the bay and am flying out of SFO. Upon entrance, the restaurant was filled with pop hits from the "auntie's" iPod. There was no wait for seats and we were immediately taken care of. We asked the title of the songs that were playing and they were always friendly and answered us kindly. The portions are HUGE! Be ready to bring some of the food home with you. The pork sisig is really good, as is the beef sinigang. The garlic rice is great and a must. Also, get the halo-halo.

Edward A.

I love the Sisigsilog, any kind silog, and the pork adobo from this place. Very good garlic fried rice, too. One thing about the Sisigsilog that I agree on with some the other patrons is that it had too much jalapeno peppers on the side. I liked the touch of heat, but the dish doesn't need that much peppers. The soy/vinegar/kalamansi sauce that also accompanies the dish is really a great compliment that I like to pour over my rice. Other than that - Clean establishment. Simple decor. Free parking. If you want pig ears, you can make sisig yourself youtube.com/watch?v=bS5wâ€¦ or go to the Philippines.

I don't know why this place got such bad reviews. Their food is pretty good. I really like their sisig and their kamayan is def. worth an experience if you don't get to experience this at home. The service has changed though, and they are a lot slower, so I try not to come here during their busiest times.

janelle t.

I don't like this place at all,why simply because one of the cashier "she's like older women wearing eyeglasses"is so rude taking order over the phone even tough you're so nice,she has no manners or etiquette towards to her customers,how can you satisfy by giving an excellent good customers service if you're the owner of that restaurant? My friends was really disappointed to this place....we rather go to Ongpin,employees are more friendly compare to this place...

probably the WORST service I've had ever. Chicken was burnt and the sisig was burnt. had to ask for everything... drinks, ketchup, etc. all things were served one by one. sorry I would never waste my money there again!!

The food is pretty good but the service? ATROCIOUS. I can't tell you how many times I've been here when the service just wasn't up to par. I'm not high maintenance at all and I'm usually pretty patient but man, the service in this joint is just upsetting. They don't even acknowledge you when you come in, they get your order wrong AND are rude about their own mistake. Boy I can go on and on! Ok, I just might--they take forever to give you your order. My family and I waited about FORTY minutes to get our food. We had to constantly ask them about the progress of our order. Ayayayay they need to read these reviews and try to improve their establishment. A plethora of reviews about their service is saying something-- they have terrible service! If you can tolerate that and just focus on the food, then good for you. But service is just as important in my book and in this case-- they failed miserably.

First of all, i really contemplated how many stars to give because this place was all up and down for me. Being filipino this should have been normal, or at least easily accepting. Let me just explain my first and maybe my only experience here. Not that it was bad, many other reasons why ... i live far enough, may not have another occasion to come here again, and find the right group of people to enjoy it with like i did this time. Let me paint the scene. I came here for my brother in law's graduation dinner and we were ... maaaaaybbbeee a little too over dressed for a friday night.. maybe. Next, I was forced to order ... all i really know about good filipino food is what my mom, mother in law, dad, and all my other relatives food and only really trust theirs. So i ordered sinigang. For those of you who don't know what that is, lets just say its soup, goood soup. With the help of my mother in law we got quite a spread. DID I MENTION OR DID YOU KNOW THIS WAS HOUSE OF SISIG, KAMAYAN STYLE. Again, for those of you who don't know what kamayan style is, its eating with just your hands to eat all the food. To add, they go all the way here with the banana leaves on your table. This is where things started going wrong for a little bit. We of coursed asked for napkins and water and didn't get it for like 30 mins ... after the food came. Oh and on top of that, we were told by our waiter, for the amount of people we had in our party, there was not enough banana leaves to place on our table for the kamayan style decor. Well, he had enough for our long table .. that leads me to question, did he lie to me, told me the opposite of what he meant by not having enough even though he did, or brought out the machete and cut the leaves in the back of the restaurant, which actually is the parking lot ... ehhhuuuuuoooo. When the food started coming in lets just say they pretty much place it in front of you and you just have to dive in with all ten fingers and start eating. I was with family so there was nothing for me to be held back about eating with my hands, i just couldn't look at them eye to eye while i ate. I went with the mentality that is you can't see them they can't see you lol, seriously though ... the food wasn't at all bad. For the kamayan style, we ordered the biggest package on the which was calle the "fiesta fiesta". No, its not double, we just ordered 2 of them. The BBQ squid was one of my favorites. There was also an order of mussels that were cooked with some garlic which were surprisingly good. oh and i also appreciated the chopped onions and tomatoes they gave. It was a great compliment to the meal. Let me just end the food portion of my review with saying i went carb free by not eating rice... well so much. If anything, just on scoop, from my hands. So embarrassed .... This place was great for me over all because of the company i was with. Okay to good food makes it all better with the company. My bothers and sister in law and I could not stop coming up with all the jokes we could about our meal. I felt bad at times because i practically may have wronged my people, but I didn't care ...tssss at least I wasn't wearing sweats in public. THAT'S RIGHT, I SAID IT. That's one of my biggest pet peeves. COME ON, ARE WE AT YOUR HOUSE OR SOMETHING??? Like I said, I had a better time because of the company i was with. The jokes help digest the food better. I'm not going to explain every joke that was made ... it stays there and then. I will say we had a game going on in trying to figure out what was rude or what was accepted. Question, was it rude of me to steal the food my 1 year old as nibbling on right in front of her??? I didn't even use my hands, just bit it off my wife's hand right in front of her face... hhhaaa. One last thing was this place was not as big as I expected so it was really awkward when the people waiting for tables were staring you down waiting for you to leave so they can get one of our many tables. So, food okay to only a handful good, I don't mean that literally. Experience ... memorable. My advice, make sure you come here with the right people ... oh and your own napkins if you want to be on point. LOL

When choosing a name of this restaurant, they should have tried harder. The name implies they have a ton of different sisig flavors, and that their sisig should be at least decent to outstanding. Unfortunately one gripe was that they don't even have chicken sisig. Secondly the pork sisig I had was charred and burnt. Every bite tasted like charcoal, hence unedible. The chicharron manok was also a shame. No flavor and sort of burnt taste. Tasted like they haven't changed their oil in a looong time. First and last time eating here .

Nothing special and extremely bad service. Had to wait 45 minutes for a waiter to even come by the table to ask us what we wanted to drink and I asked for a 7-up and they couldn't even get that to me quickly my food that took another 45 minutes came before the drink and when they brought the drink after another 15 minutes was the wrong drink!!!!! This is a simple can of 7-up I could actually see in the fridge from where I'm sitting might I remind you! I don't even want talk about my entree that they forgot and had to remake. What even made it better was that I had a pregnant lady next to me and asked for her eggs fully cooked and it came out half raw and then they took it back which took another half an hour and they still couldn't get it right!!! Enter at your own risk, time, and service.

Bad bad bad service. How can you run out of sisig, if you're house of sisig? That's like McDonald's running out cheeseburgers.

It breaks my heart to give this place a mediocre rating because I love sisig and I am a patron of Filipino-owned restaurants but this place just falls short on all fronts. First and foremost, it's obvious that they didn't prepare their sisig from scratch. The restaurant's name is House of Sisig so I assumed sisig is their specialty but NOT serving it on a sizzling skillet was disappointing. This was my first time to be served dry, cold sisig. Second, sisig without pigs ears, face or any parts of the head and liver is not sisig in my book. What they served was minced pork cooked in vinegar with a bunch of jelapeno peppers and onions on the side. I honestly didn't know what to do with a mound of jelapeno peppers as I haven't been served THAT MUCH on a plate. Although their restroom is clean, their walk-in freezer is not. In fact, it reminds me of those disgusting freezers on Chef Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. I might visit this restaurant again to see if I'll have a change of heart.

Came here because i was craving for some tocino. It was so yummy. One of the best tocino i've had by far. Garlic rice + tocino = heaven :)

I would rate it fve stars, but I think it s a bit overpriced for Filipino food. This place is still freakin the bomb dot com when it comes to sisig! It doesnt come in a sizzling skillet, but its all good cause it still tastes hella good. Coming from San Diego, I havent had any sisig that isnt a little watery. Most of the time my mom and I will buy it and then throw it in a toaster oven and bake it since we want it to be crispy. After moving to the bay for grad school and driving around town I stumbled upon this spot nearby my place while searching for a store that sold Filipino telenovelas for one of my Asian American Studies seminars. I told myself and them that I would give it a try next time since I was busy; I tried it out some morning before going out to study and this place had some bombass tapsilog! After testing out their breakfast, I decided to give their sisig a shot a week later. I was not disspointed either, that stuff was also bomb dot com! What was funny about that meal was that I sat in front of a couple arguing throughout my whole meal in tagalog about random stuff...it was highlarious! This place is legit if you want some breakfast, which isnt worth anything at that craptacular place Lucky Chances! It's hella legit if you want some Sisig thats just as good as the stuff back home in the Philippines, which means hella grease! The staff is dope for helping me find a place for my term paper assignment and since they didnt lie that their place is legit. Oh, they do serve their customers really well too. After talking to my relatives about the place, they told me that they order party trays from here...so that makes them even more legit! Just lower the prices a dollar or two please?

if i could give them a rating im gonna give them a zero star! we actually called to have our spot reserved, and even called to say we will be late see how nice we are, then we arrive around 215pm we've been through the traffic and everything! we've been waiting for our order for almost an hour and then to found out our order was wrong instead of sugbang tilapia they cook catfish fried! instead of inihaw na baboy they cook lechon kawali! we are ready to cancel our order! they kept on saying PASENSYA NA PO well too late we are not going back here!

I once asked, "What is sisig?" The response I got was something like , "OMG you don't know what it is? Have you ever tried it? How can you be half Flip and not know?!" Okay, okay. So maybe I sort of knew, but never really knew the name, or haven't had it in a while. Geez. Well, now I know what it is and here at House of Sisig, it is pretty darn good. I like it sizzling, and mixed up real good with the onions and peppers. Add rice and a fried egg on top and that's all you need. Another dish they make really good here is the pinakbet. I LOVE all the veggies (especially the bittermelon and the okra) and the bagoong flavor. If you are ordering it to eat in the restaurant, it does take a bit longer than the other dishes but I think it's worth the wait.

I'm baffled. If you're not familiar with Filipino food then how can you make a review? Anyways, I on the other hand am Filipino and I dub this place as pretty good. My grandparents (who were born and raised in the rural parts of the Philippines) came to visit and where else to bring them for Filipino food then Daly City. They absolutely loved it. You know it's Filipino if its flavored with onions, vinegar, garlic and all that nose-burning ingredients I've learned to love. CRISPY PATA is hands down one of my favorites. Anything fried is totally a favorite of mines when it comes to Filipino food. The staff is very respectful. The venue is laid back, very homey feeling and somewhere you may have to roll up your sleeves. Totally CHOLESTEROL OUT.

Haven't ate here before but one of our good friends brought some of their pork sisig to a little get together we had and it was off the chain!!! It had that charred taste that I like a lot in many grilled meat dishes that I eat and it was extremely flavorful..... Can't wait until I get to eat it again!
(4)
Jennifer P.

What a great experience! Finally a place where I can eat with my hands and not get judged! The food was very delicious especially their BBQ chicken and Lumpia. Some certain foods did taste a little bit salty though like their mussels. The service was great and very welcoming. I am definitely coming back here whenever I visit San Francisco!

This is the house of "American" sisig. Filipino sisig (or REAL sisig) is made from chopped-up pig face and even better with brain, tossed around on a grill/fried with spices, calamansi, and onions etc... topped with some tasty crumb stuff, green onions, and if you want, a raw egg that cooks on the sisig while it's sizzling hot. American sisig is just chopped-up meat with onions, pepper seeds, and a soy sauce mix. Not bad if you're hungry (and it's only $5.95 for a rice plate sisig-see photo above in that photo thing) but very bad if you want the real stuff. And you want the real stuff. Really.

Very disappointing. We ordered the pork sisig, kare kare, and tocino with rice and egg. Kare kare was a huge portion but lacked in flavor and wasn't cooked enough. The long beans were super crunchy, the tripe was rubbery, and the oxtail was chewy and tough. It was also missing other components that make the dish like eggplant and bagoong. The tocino was dry. And lastly the reason we wanted to try this place was the for the SISIG. Unfortunately the dumb server didn't even write it down when we placed our order. I guess he was just pretending to write something down when we said sisig??? Oh and it took like 15-20 minutes to get our freakin check!!!! Never going here again. I just don't get it wouldn't you want repeat customers for your business? They are a bad representation for Filipino food and service.

Would give 0 stars if possible. Food was mediocre but service was extremely terrible. Will never come back here.

I agree with Jodi P and Michael. We waited while there were open tables in the middle but my guess was that they are reserved for bigger parties and the staff couldn't accomidate the people waiting by splitting the tables apart. When a table for 4 did opened up, we waited for that to get cleared out then another group of 4 came in and the staff seated them right away at the middle tables before we got seated. We left and took our business to Kadoks! The food is good but customer service very bad. I'd order take-out but make sure you call way in advance since speed isn't a main goal there. This place has potential to be great but the service is terrible and holds them down. Call Chef Gordon and see if you can light some fire under their pwets (butts in tagalog).

I wish there was a House of Sisig in SoCal! Coming here is like having Thanksgiving dinner. Maybe because I'm not in the area often and I usually go with the bf, my sisters, and their friends. Sisig na Baboy - This is a must! Delivered to your table sizzlin hot on a platter, it's diced up pork with onions, jalapenos, sauce, and an egg that you mix together while hot. Sitaw Kalabasa - Another must. It's coconut milk, long beans, and squash. Although last time, it tasted like they skimped on the coconut milk and added butter instead. Still bomb, but come on. I guess next time I should ask to add more Ginataang (coconut milk). Bistek - Um, duh. Can't go wrong. Beef steak marinated in soy sauce and calamansi juice with onions. Bangus Sinigang - Delicious tamarind/sour flavored soup with bok choy, daikon, onions, eggplants, and more. Tahong - Mussels sauteed with garlic sauce Chicharon Manok (Fried Chicken Skin)- If the heart attack hasn't happened yet, this will surely do it. The ultimate fatty snack. This is the type of spot where you get food coma BEFORE you arrive forreal.

The food from this Restaurant is always great. The servers are very nice. This place should have more space when you dine in. The problem we just have from this restaurant is the room are not big enough and you have to let server know twice what you need. But other than that again the food and servers are wonderful!!! I give this a four star rate because the food is great.

Great concept...very Pinoy. Kamayan on banana leaves...delicious bagoong, pork inihaw with salted eggs/chopped onions and tomatoes. Service is poor. The restaurant was not full as we came at 3 pm. They forgot our pork Sisig order, the reason for our 40-mile travel. I was very disappointed. Customer service could improve. After the server delivered our food, no one approached to follow-up on how are we doing, if everything's ok, or at least if we needed anything. We ordered an extra rice from another girl but nothing came. I didn't like the Bangus Sisig. It was dry and tasted like it was just fried and shredded then placed on a sizzling plate. I never had the chance to taste the pork Sisig...big disappointment. Overall, I'll not come back to this restaurant. To the management, please improve your customer service and keep the restaurant clean.

One of the worst eating establishments ever! Service was abysmal. The server never even bothered to let us know about the kamayan menu. The place was extremely busy and small, which even magnified the terrible service. What made matter worse, the annoying Bluetooth earpiece-wearing "owner" (or at least he looked like he ran the place) was busy entertaining his own guests while his crack staff was busy unsuccessfully filling orders and customer requests. What kind of business is this??? So if the uneven non-existent service left a bad taste in our mouths from the beginning, the poor quality food even left a WORSE taste. Everything was SALTY, overcooked, bitter and generally tasted pretty much the same after a few bites. The crispy binagoongan tasted like the gising-gising like the sisig bangus like the sisig baboy like the tinapa, etc... You get the picture. And for being called the "House of Sisig," why are there only three different kinds of sisig? By the way, they were 1) NOT good and 2) NOT authentic. Pork sisig is supposed to be made with pig ears, cheeks, skin, etc. and not pork shoulder/leg or whatever they used. I wouldn't waste my hard-earned dollars at this place. If you're in Daly City, you're better off going to Lucky Chances Casino for authentic and quality Filipino food with actual customer service.

I have been ordering here for years now & this is my first review of the place. Their sisig is the best. When they first opened their sisig was very good with the meat cut small ( how it's supposed to be) but for the past year it seems that they have been getting lazy on cutting the meat. Don't get me wrong the sisig is still tasty but the meat isnt even cut. It's like the size of tapa. I usually just order to go & the place has been packed but their customer service is a hit or miss. Another thing I noticed is that when I order two of the same item it seems to be less. Like they just made one & a half Order & split it into two. Their prices have also been going up but their service has not been getting better & their portions are getting smaller.

Delicious!! I was sooo happy with my pancit palabok! I hate palabok that tastes fishy, but this one lacked any fishy taste and they even gave us extra sauce on the side. The spare ribs were delicious, with a smoky bbq flavored and the meat falling right off the bone. Unfortunately, we came when they were closing and the other workers were overtly ready to leave. We tried to have a nice family dinner but easily heard the workers' loud chismis. Other than that, our waiter was really polite. Definitely going back.

As a filthy, burger-eating invader (as Americans are referred to an BBC's QI), I had no prior experience of Filipino food before entering this restaurant. I am an adventurous eater, however, if youa re a burger-eating american like I am , this review is for you. I think that a general rule when trying new food is to go with the basics of the cultural palate. Also, if a place is named after one of their dishes, its probably good. Ergo, I must say I had an excellent experience with the sisigsilog, which is a great and diverse melange of other foods such as rice, egg, and pork. I have some experience with this place, and have ordered some other items, but I always come back to the sisigsilog. House of Sisig has some good dishes, and they generally do good roasted things but they are EXTREMELY fry-heavy. I got some fried pork (Chicharon Bulaklak I believe) and it was disgusting; it was like a slab of gristly left in the deep fryer 3x longer than it should be. But it was NOT a pork rind, those are good. Tips: Always get some extra Lumpiang and associated sweet sauce. Bring your favorite hot sauce for the sisigsilog.

This place is just alright. Had the Sisig Silog and it was kinda burnt but what i did not partially liked was that they added the sauce for me on the meat. im not really a fan of the sauce....

Mandy D.

Got food to-go. I like their sisig rice plate. More than enough sisig with the garlic rice. Their adobo was alright, possibly because most of the flavoring was on the bottom. Even then, the flavor somewhat lacked, I wanted more vinegar-ness and it was quite salty.

After a night of... uh, shall we say "drink indulgences", my buddies and I were ready for a nice hearty meal. House of Sisig was just what we needed - great food, inexpensive prices, and quick service. My buddy says that Daly City is the Filipino capital of America, and seeing how he lives here and is Filipino, I trust him to take me to great places to eat. We got the signature sisig, tocino, and a beef dish whose name is escaping me. All were great, but come on, tocino? That was just deliciousness. Couple that with a few orders of rice and a soda, and it was scarfing down time. The service was quick, the inside is small and unassuming, with plain tables and chairs, but with plenty of hungry people filling the seats. They do plenty of take out, and do have a small whiteboard at the front detailing their daily specials.

Cathy D.

If you have a tray of sisig at your party....I'm SO THERE!!! So the thing is...I've never been here. I've only had the pleasure of having SISIG at numerous family and friends' parties, usually being filipino parties of course. IT IS SO DARN GOOD WITH WHITE RICE!!! I'll get seconds even though I'm stuffed.

Ronnel C.

The food was yummu!

Natalie R.

It's meat and onions and peppers and garlic soy sauce over rice. What's not to love? Filipino food is the best drunk food in the world. The lumpia is always perfectly crisp and the panciet is always pleasantly tart. The adobo makes the pork sing. One order of sisigsalog is enough for two meals.

I don't even want to give this place a single star! The food is so so and service is beeeyond bad! The bf and i were here last Sunday 4/08/12, it was a bit busy (they are just waaaay too unorganized, if they are a little organized then it wouldn't have looked that chaotic in there). Anyway, first we have no idea if we were to just find a table or if we should wait to be seated, finally I asked the old hag (with 10 million pounds of make up on) behind the counter if we could get a table, she pointed to one of the waiters to get us a table. We were seated pretty much between the people in line waiting to get their To Go orders. We ordered the Kamayan for 2 and a bowl of soup. The bf and I were in a good mood and were just patiently waiting for our food, our waiter didn't hear 1 complaint from us, we understand that it was busy. We sat there for 45 minutes, our soup and rice finally came! Our waiter apologized to us saying that the trolls in the back are mixing up orders, we still didn't complain, we still told our waiter it's okay, we understand. We started to eat our soup and rice and kept chitchatting, didn't realize that we have been sitting there for almost 2 hours and still no food! Finally half of our Kamayan order was served to us, which is only A fish and 3 pieces of chicken, our waiter said that the rest should be coming out soon. We still didn't complain. Mind you, all the people who came around the same time as us, had already got their food, ate and left. And the people had barely just got there had ordered a Kamayan for 2 people or more had already got their order and all at one time too! But we still didn't complain! Finally after almost 3 hours, we decided to just go ahead and pay and just take the rest of the food To Go. As we were paying, we told them we never got all of our food and that if they could give us some kind of a discount since we did wait for so long and got really crappy service. You know what the old hag said to us? She said that she couldn't do that, but as a deal, she was willing to wrap the rest of the food that we didn't get To Go...huh? WTF? The food should've came with the rest of our food!? She made it sound like she was giving me a million dollars?! WTF?! So I told her that I don't want to take anything To Go, I just want for her to give me a discount on the bill. So this bitch tells me she is willing to give me 5% off the bill...our bill was $40, and she is WILLING to give me 5 fucking %?! that's $2 off of our bill!!?!?!?! She crazy?! I told her if she can charge me $30 then we are even, she tells me no and told me that I can take the To GO PLUS the 5%! LMAO!! She is making it sound like the To Go is some kind of perk, that shit is part of my order! I laughed at her face and told her we ain't paying and walked out. LMAO! She yelled and told me that Karma will get me...LMAO! WOW!
