Welcome to Fil-Am 2. If you can't figure it out by the title, it's a Filipino American restaurant, but I would so consider it just a Filipino restaurant. Unless, it's because a lot of cultures outside of Filipinos come here, then yes. Yes, it is a Filipino American restaurant. How did we discover this place?? What a great question! Well, it started off with us finally arriving in the bay and wondering where we wanted to eat. So...we just checked a street not too far from our stay and walked around. Without a thought, we just pointed at this place and walked in. This is one of the greatest decisions that was made all weekend. When we arrived, it looked like a normal Filipino restaurant, or at least the vibe reminded me of what you would find in Carson. Haha. They just all seem so similar, where you walk up to the counter, say how many items you want, and just point and point and point. The staff were really nice and welcoming, which was a plus for us, outsiders. We didn't really know what to get, so we got the usual. Well, sad to say, I forgot which ones we got the first day..and yes, I said first day. Continuing... we also got the bbq. Too be honest, this is the best Filipino bbq on the stick I ever had and that says a lot. The pieces were big! The picture in the slideshow below doesn't serve justice to how big they are. Also, they were quite flavor with the smokey sweet slightly salty deliciousness that we call Filipino bbq, and can't forget it's quite juicy. Because of the first day, we had to come back the next morning because if they have good food during lunch, they have to have great breakfast there. Day 2: So we went back to Fil-Am 2 for breakfast at 8, but later found out that they actually opened up at 9. Generously as they are, they let us in earlier because they knew we were from LA and it was raining outside. Since it was quite, the parents got to chat it up with them while they were preparing the food, and what was served in the morning is shown in the slideshow below. There was pork longanisa, chicken tocino (my favorite), fried eggs, caldereta, beefsteak, and something I forgot. Lol. Also, (not shown in pictures) were the smoked bangus and the regular bangus. If you guys don't know what that is, it's a marinated milkfish in vinegar and garlic deliciousness. They were all good, and I'm still in love with that chicken tocino. When I got my food, I, of course got the chicken tocino and the beefsteak (shown in the pictures below). She was so nice and gave me extra food. She hella packed it, haha. She knew I was going to post my review on food on Yelp and whatnot, but it's all good. It was well deserved.
Chicken Tocino = a sweet, salty chicken Beefsteak = a salty lemony beef After out breakfast, we bought some bbq to bring back to So-Cal because it was too good that we had to share it with the rest of the family. For people new to the area of SF and want to try really good Filipino American food, I would definitely recommend coming here. I know, forsure that I will be back. Thank you Fil-Am 2 family for such a tasty treat!
