Pick your Plate

You never let us down. From my daughter’s wedding to my 60th birthday party, your food has always been a highlight at our events. We always have guests asking us about our caterer and we are always happy to recommend you. Thank you for all your support.

Such a great deal for lunch!!! $13! We were visiting from Atlanta and staying nearby the area - stopped by Pick your Plate to try out Filipino food for the first time. The people working were very kind and even offered a sample for us to help pick our proteins! Amazing locally owned spot - 10/10 would recommend!

You,re the best! I hope you re-open but understand. Thanks for all the great food over the last 5 years I've worked close by.

I visited this place after one of my coworkers who is Filipino told me about it. We made sure to go on a Thursday so I could get Lechon!! The food was really good, fresh, and you can tell made with love, so much flavor and juicy goodness, I definitely recommend others that are looking to try Filipino food for the first time or if they’re already familiar to go here to get there fixed. The service was great and also the establishment was clean and warm, no frills. They also cater as well, and they ended up catering the Thanksgiving day meal for my job.

Food is amazing! Greeted wonderful friendly staff! Chef "Tita Claire" amazing host!!! A Must try in Southbay for great filipino foods!!! Will be back soon!!!!

First time having Filipino food and I enjoyed it. A new taste I’ve never tasted before. A lot of flavor and very tasty. The woman serving me was sooo kind. Told her it was my first time and she fixed me a mini plate to try some samples. I appreciated that so much will be coming back!

First of all, if you aren't familiar with a mom and pop Filipino restaurant shop that you would find in the small province of the Philippines, you're probably not going to be thrilled by the appearance. This is a total hole in the wall. The ideal definition of what people say a hole in the wall would be. It's clean. It's just not fancy. You pay for the food and the family is so sweet. They'll let you sample too. For those saying the samples are small... Lol I don't know how much more food you need to the point the lid is barely closed. They pile it in. You can see the pics of everyone here lol. This is not the type of place you want to bring vegan friends to. Most the dishes are meaty. Though sometimes they'll have a couple of vegetable options. Only thing to not be surprised about is some days they can run out of food pretty quickly or have a huge line depending if they get hit by huge bum rush of different huge groups of people.especially Thursdays on lechon day if you show after 1pm the lechon might be cleared out) And then some days you walk in and it's like totally empty. And then while you're eating all the 30 people show up lol. Most popular days there are Thursdays because that's lechon day. I like Fridays because sometimes they have Flipspag and fried chicken. And it's not like your typical restaurant with as a menu you look at in order. You literally check their Facebook page every morning and see what they've got because they cook everything fresh that morning. Anyone that says this isn't authentic Filipino food is one of two things. 1) A hater.. or 2) they actually really don't know what Filipino food is. And for the people that flat out say this place is bland, I would say those are fake reviews because if anything I have to use less sauce or portion out what I eat because it is extremely flavorful. The people say it's not greasy or fatty? They have lechon on Thursday lol? Longenisa. They've got beefsteak with onions or sisig. Literally. Just look at the pictures everyone takes. For your first visit, if you plan on eating there I would say just come by yourself or go with a friend. The cater to 2 menus. The Filipino of course and a western menu. Their fillet & chicken cordon bleu.. so good. The buffet is mostly Filipino. They're being bulk of the businesses catering so if they are catering that day, they'll usually make an extra batch of that dish and have is an option for the buffet and sometimes you get really surprised because you never knew they offered it. Lol. We've been coming here since the first few months opening and I can still walk in once in a while in the experience a new dish that I never knew that they could cook lol. They actually cater more western dishes... The fillet mignon, cordon Bleu, garlic fried shrimp, and malabon are staples we order here for every big family occasion. We used to do the sisig, but now we switched to chicken sisig (a little healthier lol) I always bring a 1/2 tray pancit to friend parties and it's always one of the first things at the party to deplete. My folks are Filipino and we've brought so many of our relatives from our of town here from all over the US and back in the P.I. when they visit. They all love this place. As for my favorites... Friday Flip Spag. This is the only day I'll choose the food by the weight option. Other days... Longenisa with rice, with some Kari Kari sauce or adobo sauce on the rice, (a sunny side up egg if they have time to make it(no line not busy) This place!
