Ihawan

Great filipino restaurant in Woodside! A lot of restaurants nearby are relatively small but this is very spacious and comfortable (their indoor seating is on the second floor)! We got the Ihawan sample platter (comes with lumpiang, lechon, and fried calamari), crispy pata, and grilled BBQ chicken and all were really good. all the fried stuff is crispy on the outside and tender inside. grilled BBQ chicken is smoky, flavorful, and juicy we also got the halo halo and it was so good, not too sweet (the waiter was also really kind and let us know to mix it well). will definitely be back!

Went to Ihawan for lunch with my family and had a really great experience. The restaurant has plenty of seating, and we were seated in less than 3 minutes. They have a good variety of Filipino dishes, including platter options, but we went with à la carte and everything we ordered was delicious. The food came out pretty fast too, in under 10 minutes. The one that really stood out to all of us was the lumpiang sariwa… OMG, it’s definitely a musttttt try! The chicharon bulaklak was also so good. Service was great overall, and shoutout to the kuya who took care of us (we forgot to ask his name). He was super friendly and made our lunch even more enjoyable. Overall, such a good experience, we’ll definitely be back! (We ordered a lot more food, but everyone was so hungry that I didn’t get a chance to take pictures of the other dishes. 😅)

Have been going here for 10+ years. Staff is friendly, nice and approachable! Food is great! My favorite is their Liempo (Grilled Pork Belly Meal). Wifey loves the Avocado shake / Slush. They have the traditional "Kamayan" where the food is served on a banana leaf. Parking is difficult, you might have to circle back a few times especially on weekends.

This restaurant knows how to throw a party! My friend hosted her birthday here with a large group of over 25 people. The restaurant held space in the back area for the large group, putting multiple tables together. My friend put in an order ahead of time which made the ordering seamless. The food was great- especially the bbq meats and lumpias. The iced calamansi juice was SO GOOD. I'd get 2 of those just myself next time! The staff kept making really funny jokes, and props to them for carrying tons of large platters out to the table. They also played the group's music over their speaker and jammed out with us. Really fun, good vibes.

The food was really good, especially the BBQ..it was excellent. The wait time can be long, particularly on weekends, so plan accordingly. Their coffee and ampalaya for breakfast were standouts, and the sinigang salmon was also great. The halo-halo was decent, though not a highlight.
