Reviews for Manila Sunset in Tukwila, WA

We were in the area and craving for some Filipino meal. Oliver, who was working behind the counter, was very accommodating and... was able to answer all our food queries. We ordered the pansit malabon. Flavor was spot on. It has the essence of the shrimpheads with a hint of citrus. Noodles were al dente. We also got the lechon kawali which was a weekend only item. The skin wasabsolutely crispy and the meat was succulent. Came with two cups of rice and a steaming bowl of sinigang soup. The dinuguan withrice came with two generous cups of rice. The soupy sauce was thick and creamy, with tender pork ears, meat and fat from thepig's head. For our taste, it could have been perfect if it had a tiny bit of acidity. Their lumpiang sariwa did not seem tocontain any ubod. But the substitution and all the other ingredients still made the flavor and texture complete. It has thesweet peanut sauce, with chopped nuts on top. It had no fresh garlic either, but we thought it was fine without it. Theirbibingka was baked on banana leaf. Warm, fluffy and buttery sweet cake. But our order seems to barely have any salted egg, whichdid not complete the sweet salty experience you would normally get from a proper bibingka. Read more

I've been to a few locations of Manila Sunset and this location is by far the worst. Stopped by for lunch since I saw it was... close to where I was and I miss eating at Manila Sunset in National City and Mira Mesa locations. Food: Goto TokwatBaboy Longsilog (Tupac liked i After tasting my dishes, I was highly disappointed that I ordered another plate to go, Liempo(grilled pork.) The TokWat Baboy is the WORST dish I've ever eaten at Manila Sunset (all locations.) Goldilocks is much better.The Goto was ok. Not a fan of the meat. I wish I stuck with the Aroz Caldo that I originally wanted to order. With that said, Ihated the dishes I ordered for myself that I ordered the Liempo. That too was just ok. TIP: I wanted Lechon Kawali but was toldit's on certain days. Did I miss a sign stating that? Bummer that this experience was a negative one. Read more

Server was very nice even when I accidentally made a mistake on my order. The food was amazing. I had dinuguan and rice. Very... cheap price for great quality of food. Will definitely go back Read more

Authentic pinoy food! If you?re in the Tacoma area and do not want to fight the crowds of seafood city, Manila sunset is... definitely a place to be. We always come here to eat Pinoy food and enjoy some more hard to find pinoy cuisine like goto,Tokwa?t baboy, bibingka and the silogs. They also offer catering services esp if you enjoy their sweet and savory pinoy porkbarbecue skewers. Great food and chill ambience. Don?t forget to clean up your table after. Read more

The Shanghai lumpia was good. Ordered the dinuguan and still think my nanay?s is the best! The gravy was good but I prefer more... meat than grizzle and innards. Will try a different dish next time! Read more

I tried this place to avoid the "Seafood City" crowds but left with a lot of regret. The tocino- egg-rice combo had to be the... most mediocre-tasting filipino meal from a restaurant that I've come across. The tocino seems microwaved? Or maybe air-fried??Not sure, but the manager would benefit greatly from unbiased, honest taste tests if they are to even compete with 'Grill City' across the street. Please hire a real restaurant manager who will come up with solutions. I really want to see you succeedbecause there seems to be a lack of good and affordable Filipino foods in the area. Grill City's menu is mostly good but thefood's too expensive. Manila Sunset has the potential to give Grill City a run for its money if only the quality can be broughtup to par with the real Manila Sunset restaurants in the P.I. Read more

Where to begin? Hmmmm? Driving all the way from North Everett to The South in Tukwila for some Filipino food was exciting - I... had high hopes for this place and I?m disappointed with the experience we had today. I wish this place will take this reviewseriously and improve their food quality, service, and amenities/ambiance. The place looked shabby, and the lady/server thattook our orders was not very accommodating. It felt like she didn?t want people to be in there, could be they?re understaffed -but that does not justify poor customer service. The food quality wasn?t that great, but you get what you pay for. We orderedtheir pork inihaw that was super tough, chicken sotanghon that looked like it needed more ingredients and color, and tapa thatwas a ?meh?. They gave free sinigang broth/soup that wasn?t hot which tasted terrible. The sides we got were steamed whiterice?. The rice isn?t the best, I?m pretty sure it?s the cheapest kind you can get from a supplier/store. Rice was not evenwarm. Food presentation and quality felt like they were not made fresh, like some leftovers you have in the fridge that you popin the microwave the next day. You could get more options with more flavor from seafood city?s food court. Food quality,service, and ambiance isn?t impressive. Go check out other Filipino restaurants and skip this. Read more

Been here a few times now. First, a family friend introduced me to this place, pre-Covid. Still same authentic taste. Fresh... lumpia, pancit Malabon! Yum! There is a wait since they make your food fresh! Has ample and accessible parking! Our server todaywas great even though she is by herself! The place immediately filled up. People are pretty good budding their own tables after.Each table has it?s name/marker. Pick your table. Order and pay for your food, take a sear. Food will then be delivered to yourtable. Enjoy!
