Manila Good Ha

Lots of my family come here to buy food. I usually like their pancit bihon, but am not the biggest fan of their pancit malabon. I LOVE pancit malabon and was disappointed in their version. Something is just off. Their meat ratio in the sauce is good, but it is lacking in flavor. It’s also missing the crushed chicharron. I think even if they did add that, the flavor would still be bleh.
The vegetable lumpia was good. It was crispy, big and tasty! That I would order again.
They have a good variety of food to choose from and the food is usually fresh.

I’m so glad I stopped in today… Just got off night shift and NEVER is there anything I want to eat… just breakfast food everywhere blech! Not here though. Yay! Ulam!

My filipino coworkers at the hospital take me here after work almost every other month for breakfast. Love this damn place!
The longsilog is awesome… everytime.

Ate there (corned beef– for me and tapa silog for my wife) and prices were decent. Beef was normal, but tapa however tasted old and WEIRD. Had bad stomach for the whole weekend. Should rename the place Manila (not-​so) Good Ha. I wish that Ima Grill down the street was still open.

Not good at all. I ordered the tocino with garlic rice– no taste. My husband ordered lechon kawali– hard as a rock.

My brother and I come here for some good ol’ Filipino breakfast called Lonsilog (slang for Longanisa sausage and egg/​itlog). It comes with garlic fried rice (you can also order steamed). For breakfast, we also like the corned beef, tocino (sweet pork) and arroz caldo (rice and chicken porriage). It reminds me of my grandparent’s (lolo and lola’s) cooking.
The luncheon selections are good too. I do like the lecheon (roasted pork), talong (whole eggplant, dipped in egg and pan fried) and affritado (chicken, peppers and potatoes stew). Filipino staples of pancit (noodles), lumpia (eggrolls) and adobo (chicken or pork stew flavored with soysauce and vinegar) — a must try! They have a wide assortment of filipino desserts too. Remember: Free coffee with purchase.
Good Ha competes with nearby Arco, but in my opinion, it’s truly fast, hardly any line, no crowds and most importantly you don’t have to deal with the hauty, prima donna type of crowd that tend to frequent that other place.
Good Ha has friendly folks who take pride in their cooking and the prices are so much better. You get the most bangs for you buck here at this Filipino Mom & Pop place.

This is a popular spot for brunch for Filipinos and everyone in between.
The food is pretty good. I had the sausage with garlic rice and egg.
You cannot just walk into the restaurant, smell the delicious food and walk away. That’s what happened to me.
Seating here is pretty limited. There are a few tables, but the place is small. Most people took their order to go.
I would come here, have breakfast. Stop by Red ribbon to pick up stuff for later and call it a day.
Plenty of parking.

Big portions and good prices are the highlight of Manila Good Ha. This is another option for take out Filipino Breakfast when I am craving it but while the potions and price is better than other places I go to, it isn’t quite as good and satisfying as other places I frequent.
THE ORDER
Tocinolog — 3.5 out of 5 — Very good dish. Torcino was well good and there was plenty of it. Garlic rice wasn’t as garlic-​y as I would have liked and the over easy egg was sadly cooked through.
Longsilog — 3 out of 5 — Longanisa was solid. The meal was a huge portion and definitely filled me up but it was a slight step down in quality that you can get elsewhere.
OVERALL
This is a great budget place as your dollar goes a long way and service is pretty prompt which is impressive considering that this place can get packed during peak hours. Personally, there are better places to go.

We come here for miki bihon it’s actually not bad. But oh boy! Don’t ever order GINATAN here!!!. It looks good but it taste SO terrible! It tasted like it had more starch than coconut milk. And it was super sweet. Please improve your GINATAN. You are cheating your customers who look forward to eating a good dessert. Also their kare2 is not ox tail but cheap meat.

Good for takeout Filipino breakfasts on the weekends. I either get the tapsilog or tosilog. Tapsilog is short for TAPa (dry cured beef), SInangag (garlic fried rice) and itLOG (fried egg). Tosilog comes with tocino. It’s sweet marinated pork that’s fried. The combination of a certain marinated meat of your choice (beef, pork or sausage), garlic fried rice & fried egg is comfort food at its simplest. It does its job and hits the spot. Perfect when you don’t wanna cook your own breakfast. Service is fast & it can certainly get busy in the morning, especially on weekends.

It is a rarity to realize that when you come into this quaint Filipino food joint, there is absolutely NO GREASY SMELL that one picks up from similar places. You come and go unscathed from any peculiar kitchen aromas. I’m impressed.

Authentic Filipino’s eating here?- Check
Lumpia– Check
Pancit– Check
Sweet pork– check
Delicious Filipino fast food if your in a rush & don’t want the crowds of Arco. Head over heels for their Cantaloupe drink. Not to be missed

I love the food here. My family usually orders Filipino food here for our birthday parties and other celebrations.
50 lumpia rolls for $ 14 and 100 for $ 25 is a pretty good deal for me! It only takes 10min to cook too if you order on the spot.
If you want to order food for your own family party, call in advance to place your order and pick up for the next day.

Their breakfast is alright. I usually only get that here. & I get it to go.
However, I decided to come here today in the afternoon. I honestly couldn’t find anything worth eating. Everything looked unappetizing. I decided to get kaldereta cause it was my safest bet… or so I thought. It was too salty for my taste. I don’t think I’ll be coming here again. it reminds me a lot like a school cafeteria.
Good service though.

Hmmm what do I love about this place? Everything! I mean who wouldn’t love affordable delicious Filipino breakfast. I absolutely love their breakfast meals… ESPECIALLY Tosilog. So yummy. It comes with garlic fried rice, 2 eggs, and tocino. Portion size is huge compared to other Filipino restaurants.
Let me break it down for you:
Breakfast:
Garlic rice is always on point and made fresh. Something about the way the rice is cooked… so yummy! I tried duplicating the rice at home but still doesn’t compare…
Tosilog or tapsilog my 2 favorite breakfast dishes… gotta try it to taste what the hype is about… both dishes are full of flavor… so bad for you but soooo good… it can get greasy so beware…
Lunch:
Ooooh they serve a variety of lunch dishes that you must order and save room for lunch after having breakfast here or why not pick up orders to go for dinner that night… I’m sure the family won’t mind it.
Oh and they do catering and if you’re Filipino you would know what I’m talking about. We like to order the medium size trays of any dishes (lumpia, adobo, pancit, etc). Prices ranges from $ 30-​$ 60 a party tray depending on what dish you order.
Overall, I go here mainly for their breakfast. Prices are affordable and portions are plenty. $ 5.50 a plate not bad… Will continue to keep going here probably once a month. :)

We were craving Filipino breakfast, and luckily for us, we came in at 10:30 am and they were still serving.
Filipino restaurants are generally what is called turo-​turo, which means «to point». Basically, there are several different dishes prepared on hot plates and you point to what you want. We came on a Sunday morning and they had ukoy, which is always a treat. It’s a fried batter of shrimp, bean sprouts, and squash.
If you know Filipinos, you know we love our rice. We eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We don’t mess around. Any of their silogs are served with a heaping mound of garlic fried rice.
I ordered the tocilog, which is tocino (sweet pork) and itlog (eggs), and comes with steamed white rice and eggs sunny side up. The serving of rice is plenty, and the tocino was rightfully sweet. You can request it crispy, which is just how I like it. Enjoy it with a little vinegar and you’ll be in heaven.
The bf had corned beef silog. If you’re lucky, they will still have some left. They use the Filipino version, which is more of a pulled beef and has potaoes and onions.
Yes, they serve free coffee, and ask for the sliced tomatoes to accompany your dish.
We always leave here feeling full and happy. Craving satisfied.

Come here for breakfast and try their Filipino specialties of combos for $ 6. Who can beat that!
Everything comes with garlic fried rice and 2 over-​easy eggs. Si is for sinangag which is the garlic fried rice. Log is for the eggs. So then the menu goes something like this: TOSILOG: Tocino (cured sweetened pork strips). DASILOG: (marinated MILKFISH in vinegar, garlic and pepper, fried. LOSILOG: Longganisa (sweet filipino chorizo). TAPSILOG: Tapa (sweet dry beef steak).
They also have other stuffs in the menu that can be ordered with your combo. Tuyo-​dried sardines and tinapa (smoked scadfish). All fried. No excuse.
Free weak coffee!

I’ve been here before for the traditional breakfast called tapsilog which is marinated beef (tapa) with garlic fried rice and a fried egg. I recall that it was not too bad.
More recently, I had the kare kare which is a oxtail stew and vegetables cooked in a peanut sauce. I don’t know why but I thought it was probably the worst version of this dish that I’ve had in my life. The peanut taste wasn’t even that noticeable in the sauce and was sort of more watery and not as thick as I’m accustomed to it being. The vegetables were almost non-​existent but the oxtail was nice and tender, that much I can say.
I was told that ordering rice and one item was $ 4.50 which seemed reasonable but when it came time to pay, I was charged $ 6.00. I felt it was way too much for what I had and wasn’t a very good value.
Some friends stopped by from church while I was there and they ordered stuff like chicken adobo which looked pretty good and I was told was, by the person eating it. There was also turon that one person had which is the banana wrapped in an eggroll skin, deep fried and rolled in honey and it looked a little overcooked and little on the hard side to me.
I don’t think I’d come back for the kare kare but perhaps some other dishes. Actually, breakfast may be the better option here and only if you were just too lazy to drive somewhere else that served tastier Filipino food. I’m indifferent about this place and wouldn’t go out of the way to dine here but if I were in the area, I’d probably stop by again just for the sake of convenience rather than the food.

This spot is one of my Favorite FILIPINO FAST Spot for Breakfast, in Glendale, near Eagle Rock.
They offer the Traditional Filipino Breakfasts:
Tosilog (Fried pork)
Lansilog (Filipino Sausage)
Dasilog (Fried fish)
All with Garlic fried rice, Eggs and Free Coffee. Ask for the Tomatoes, there free as well.
Their FAST And DELICIOUS, and they give a decent serving…
Enjoy…

I remember when I first ate at Manila Good Ha. I asked my cousin, «why is it called Manila Good Ha? I don’t understand.» She told me it’s because it’s «good, huh?»
Since then I have been a fan. Now, Filipino breakfasts are most likely the most unhealthiest thing mankind has ever put on a plate. If you eat a full plate or proper Filipino breakfast then you should probably expect to go to sleep within 30 minutes (so make sure you have a designated driver) or you’ll have a migraine due to your cholesterol level rising to never before seen levels.
My favorite meal at the Good Ha is the bangsilog. This is the only place that I go that has the vinegar just right, and by just right I mean it’s a bit too vinegary and too funky for normal human consumption, but that’s how I like it and you can’t tell me otherwise. This is actually a silly thing to review on, since you put the vinegar on yourself, but I’m too lazy to edit the review so just mentally forget what I just typed, OK?
I would not recommend eating any of the –silog meals unless you’re a) expecting to be unproductive the rest of the day or b) nursing a hangover. I often have both these problems and I call it Sunday. You might find me there on a Sunday.
Anyway, enough of my stupid story. The dinuguan is also pretty good here, but I normally only ever eat the breakfast. In fact, it’s probably the best Filipino breakfast I’ve eaten from a restaurant, so close your eyes and let the thought of white eggs, rice, fish, vinegar, and Sunday morning guide you to this wonderful establishment.
