Stepping into D’Pinoy Joint is like getting a first-class ticket straight to the vibrant streets of the Philippines — and the menu is the passport. I dove into their offerings, and it’s a full-blown celebration of Filipino comfort food, with a variety that satisfies every craving.
I kicked things off with the appetizers — the 3 Piece Okoy was gloriously crispy, bursting with shrimp and vegetable goodness, while the Lumpiang Shanghai and Fried Vegetable Lumpia hit all the right nostalgic notes. For the brave at heart, their Calamares and fish balls are fried perfection, perfect for sharing… or not.
The noodle section is a festival of Filipino flavors. Pancit Bihon and Pancit Canton are classics done right, but the Pancit Palabok with its rich, savory sauce and crispy toppings? An absolute must-try.
When it comes to mains, the beef selection is soul-warming. The Oxtail Kare-Kare with its peanut sauce is rich and comforting, and the Sizzling Bistek sizzles with citrusy soy goodness. On the pork front, the Crispy Pata is a showstopper — golden skin, juicy meat. Pair it with Binagoongan Eggplant for that umami kick.
Chicken lovers, rejoice — from the homestyle Chicken Adobo to the savory surprise of Mang Felix Chicken, every dish is hearty and flavorful. Vegetarians aren’t left behind either; the Pinakbet and Ginataang Gulay deliver traditional veggie dishes with a creamy, earthy twist.
Seafood lovers will fall for the Sizzling Mixed Seafood and grilled Bangus, while the soups — especially the sour Sinigang and rich Bulalo — bring warmth and authenticity.
Don’t skip their fried rice creations or the All-Day Silog combos. And for dessert? The Halo-Halo Overload is pure joy in a glass.
D’Pinoy Joint doesn’t just serve food — it serves up tradition, flavor, and a lot of heart.
