Reviews for A Taste of the Philippines in Cookeville, TN
My first time here and I got jasmine tea (recommended by Jay) chicken potstickers, and the fil-Thai soup. I didn?t get any... photos because it was gone too soon. I will be back ASAP! Jay?s cheerful way gave me a smile & I hope he gets his worth in tips!???? Read more
The food was excellent and authentic and the service was friendly.And so good! You gotta try this place. Don't let the... appearance of the building sway you. It's very clean and oh so good! I wish I lived near this place... unfortunately I was anOTR truck driver the last time I ate here. Read more

Overall the food had bold flavors unlike the bland flavor of many Filipino places. The pork and chicken barbecue were tender... and tasty. Unfortunately the Bicol express was lacking coconut milk or cream and there was something not quite right with themeat in this dish. Overall we did enjoy the meal and will return the next time we travel through the area. Read more

I?ve been seeing this restaurant on my local Filipino Facebook page and when I was headed towards Gatlinburg I knew I had to try... it when I passed Cookeville. I was not disappointed. The pictures online lived up to the hype. Sisig: This is for real sisig.It?s made from I think pig?s ear. It?s seasoned quite nicely. It has a smoky taste that brings you back to the streets of Maniladrinking beer with your buddies. Menudo: perfect tomato-y disk with pork pieces, bay leaves, carrots, and red pepper Sweet andsour tilapia: this one was a special for the weekend. I?d follow their Facebook page for their weekend specials. I was sobummed they aren?t closer to Nashville but this Christmas season they offered a pickup service. They were nice enough to deliverto my house for $10 because I was stuck in a meeting. The food is fantastic and authentic. If you?re in Cookeville, your onelucky duck. Read more
The Kare Kare is one of their best dishes!
