R J Fast Food & Bakery

Food is o.k. I had the pancit bihon and some BBQ sticks. Both were o.k.

I got to this restaurant at 6:45. I wanted to sit and eat, but they close at 7 PM. However, the smell was so good that I decided to get take-​out. Since the food on the buffet was about to go to waste, they loaded me up! I got a ton of rice, some thin noodles, a sweet and savory pork dish (not sugary sweet… just sweet-​ish), and a curry chicken dish. I got two large buckets of the last two dishes — twice what they normally give out! Needless to say, I was very happy with the amount of food they gave me. As an added bonus, the food is very good! The pork dish was amazingly lush and rich, and the curried chicken, while oily, was great on the rice.
Service is friendly, and they were more than willing to give me a ton of food. Don’t let the name fool you — this place is an excellent stop for a meal.

If you are looking for tradition, authentic Filipino foods in South NJ, this is the place. I drove for 45 minutes to get here with my stupid Garmin (sucks!). But be careful this place is by the road where traffic is heavy. It’s difficult to get in and out of the lot. The eatery is connected to a mini-​grocery. It’s a buffet style where you pick the food that looks good (if you are not familiar). It’s combo (2 small dish & white rice) is $ 6. Compare to NYC, this is not a deal but it’s still reasonable being in this area. There are not a lot of Filipino restaurants to choose from. Compare to Tropical Island, go here instead and skip TI. And of course, desserts are delightful. I guarantee you, you won’t be dissatisfied. You’ll remember because you will be craving for Filipino food. Although this eatery has fast food, it is not Chinese — Filipino food takes time to prepare and cook them so they have to be served ahead of time or served in a buffet style. 3 stars because I don’t think I’ll drive to this area again, otherwise, it’s really good.
