Small portions. Even when ordering a Large bowl ($19) I was shocked by how much protein they give. Much better value across the road at one sushi where they have much better quality and portion size ($13)
When our event caterer suddenly cancelled, Little Manila saved the day! With less than 24 hours’ notice, their team accommodated my request and made sure we still had delicious food for the occasion. My favorite dish was the pork belly. It brought back memories of home. I highly recommend Little Manila, whether you’re stopping by for a casual lunch at one of their branches or catering your next event. They’ll surely bring the Filipino warmth to your table. ❤️
This is such a banger! The reviews doesn't show justice to this amazing eatery! Located on the other side of the other food court, this place is quick with their service, very polite and really able to bring the native Filipino taste! My fiance being a Filipina herself and picky with her food, she managed to really love it and have a bloody decent craving acquired. For only 30 dollars (very cheap compared to Auckland), this is definitely worth every penny.
It's alright. Could do with more meat and slightly less salad.
I ordered the Buddha bowl with orange chicken and noodles, the chicken was alright but the noodles are super dry, chewy and greasy everything was bland apart from the chicken do not recommend
Worst customer service we have ever experienced, sadly. We never complain, but both working in hospitality and understanding the importance of customer service- this was appalling. No recognition, no greeting, and when we asked if we could order we were told by a staff member (who was standing there, not doing anything besides chewing) that he would prioritise the “line”. We had actually been the first ones to approach the place and there was no offer of service at all. There was another lady who arrived after us and was served first also. Very disappointing, we will not be supporting your outlet in future with such rude staff. We do kindly recommend that the staff are trained in both service and personal awareness and presentation ie. chewing with your mouth closed and better yet, don’t eat during a period where customers are waiting to be served in order to make money to support your business.
I love Filipino food and since moving to Wellington have been struggling to find a place I can get Filipino cuisine. But the sisig and Lechon kawali from Little Manila didn’t really hit the spot for me. The rice to topping ratio didn’t really match up where I had way too much rice left over in the end and struggled to finish my bowl. The sisig didn’t taste quite like the sisig that I am familiar with, but maybe there are different variations and I was just not familiar with this one. Lechon kawali was better out of the two.
A new Asian style fast food outlet chain with a Philipino link. The meals on offer have a salad base with a selection of various cooked meats lavishly cooked in a spicy coatings (pork belly, chicken, beef, lamb, roast pork). You can have a rice or noodle base. I always prefer rice.
