Luzviminda Grocery And - Fords

If it's your first time here, make sure you don't sit directly on the chair. They don't come to you to take your order, instead you have to go to the counter and order.Food is fine, nothing special. Order crispy pata, you have to make your own sauce which is a big disappointment.I don't recommend Halo-halo, they don't use shave ice. It's a waste of money.

An assortment of fresh fish, cooked to order. They keep it in ice and you can pick. Great price. They season with salt and include the soy sauce with vinegar. Salamat.

This is based on delivery only. I wanted to love this and was so excited to try this restaurant for a few months now. Today, I had urgent comfort food and homeland cravings. After living in jersey city for well over a decade I'm used to those comforts at an affordable price. I'm not above elevating Filipino cuisine, from Purple Yam in Brooklyn to the more recently closed Maharlika in LES, to MaamSir in LA, I love a fancy retelling of our food. For me Delivery person was kind but didn't follow instructions at all and got lost. The richness of kare kare is meant to be unctuous but this version was tepid and stew/sauce was real thin. You can see the color in the photos that it lacked peanut butter and seasoning. It tasted watered down and sweet, no savory nuance. The pork belly and beef on their own, were cooked perfectly in texture but there was way more tripe than meat. For almost $20, my protein should not be mostly tripe. I definitely needed the bagoong for the kare kare to enhance flavor. The pinakbet was better and had great amounts of gulay squash, eggplant, green beans, with bagoong Umami were excellently timed in cooking and didn't sacrifice flavor. The veggie lumpia was tasty and the best executed of the dishes. 3/5 or a C+ at best. No rice was included and total delivery was over $50 (35 for pick up) for two mains and an app? Kind of wild, really.

It is not easy to find a spacious, clean, fresh and delicious Filipino restaurant. Most of the time the establishment is cramped, messy, tables are oily and the food greasy and low quality. Luzviminda however is none of these things. What I love the most about this place is the fresh seafood case where you can select any fish, squid or shrimp to have cooked in whatever dish you'd like. The food is delicious and the portions and prices very reasonable. And they have a convenient mini grocery! Unfortunately they don't carry everything, but you know that their items haven't been on the shelves for over a year!The service is prompt friendly, patient and helpful. My only critique is that the tables were not cleared right away. It took about 30 minutes before someone finally started clearing up. Other than that, this is my new Filipino restaurant go-to! Try it, you won't regret it!

What a great find! This place has been hiding from me since 2021! If you haven't checked it out...food is non-greasy, freshly made to order! Staff is fantastic and so Filipino...polite, service with a smile, friendly and welcoming! 5 stars all the way! Place is clean and decor makes you feel like you're in the Philippines!
