Paraiso Filipino Native Foods - Lakewood (WA)

5 /5 Michaela Dayco: Best Filipino food we’ve ever had in Washington State (and we live in Seattle). Way too good, had to order more after I finished eating so that I could have more food to-go to eat at home.

4 /5 David Matthew: This was my first time coming in and it felt like a nice cozy place to sit down and eat. I ordered the meal with 3 of their entrees. I ordered the Pinakbet, Kare Kare, and the Laing. I also got a side order of the BBQ pork Skewer. Out of all the food I tried my favorite was the BBQ pork skewer. The Pinakbet was just as good any Pinakbet. It was the first time of trying Laing so I don’t have a big opinion of it. It was good though just not my cup of tea. The Kare Kare was where I was disappointed and gave the reduction in stars. While the flavor was delicious the consistency was a bit too watery for me. I’m used to and prefer a slightly more thicker consistency to get that full peanut butter experience. Overall I do recommend this place to people to try out. They have a better selection of food than the other restaurants I’ve been to here in Tacoma.

5 /5 Cynthia P.: If you’re craving legit Filipino food, Paraiso Filipino Resto is worth the trip. I had the sizzling sisig, halo-halo, and a couple of combo meals, and honestly, I left happy and full. The sisig came out still sizzling (and tasting amazing), just the way it should be. The halo-halo reminded me of the ones back home — traditional, not overdone, and really good. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the flavors hit the spot. On top of that, the owner was so much fun to talk to — super friendly with great customer service. You really feel welcome here. Highly recommend if you want that authentic Filipino taste without hopping on a plane going to Cali.
