Friends & Family prides themselves in serving home-cooked Filipino food that caters to three generations. They have food that grandparents, parents, and the younger generations can relate to.
It’s like taking a trip back in time with Filipino cuisine that you and your loved ones can bond over. The restaurant is also a way to introduce Filipino cuisine as they showcase classic Filipino dishes, and some of the dishes have twists in them that make them a lot more unique.

Sample their Chicken Binakol, which resembles Tinola, another classic Filipino dish. Chicken Binakol is a recent addition to their menu and is served in a Coconut.
It has the same properties as Tinola, but Chicken Binakol is made with Coconut water and has coconut meat. It has a unique kick to it that you’ll surely want to sample if you’re already a fan of the classic dish.

Another new addition to their menu is their Squid Ink Japjae. While not precisely a Filipino dish, this dish provides a twist in the menu. It’s served with Fried Calamari and Calamansi, as well as bread. It’s the perfect dish if you want to try something new!

Rice is somewhat a staple to every Filipino meal, so if you ever visit the restaurant, give their Tinapa Rice a try. It’s served with Friends and Family Salsa and Salted Egg, which adds a flavorful twist to your regular rice.
