The ambiance was pleasant and the food was delicious. However, the customer service was very poor due to the attitude displayed by one of the waitresses who took our order. She was quite unwelcoming and did not show a professional demeanor. I hope this brings attention to the management for awareness and improvement.

The Good: Overall delicious food Open kitchen Good service The Bad: Nothing really, perhaps lack of ambiance The skinny: Go for it, even for those not familiar with this cuisine I just read a large recent poll that Filipino Food was the near the bottom of favorite foods in the world. They must not have had my late mom's cooking or food at La Republika. Either way, they would've polled way way higher. Too many people mention Balut, the boiled duck embryo egg with baby feathers and dinuguan, the pork blood in vinegar with coconut milk with chitlins as perhaps among the most well-known gross out foods of the world. Even if they only knew pancit (noodle disk) and egg-roll cousin "lumpia" the world might be impressed.. However, most FIlipino restaurants in So. CAL and elsewhere are mostly turo-turo which means point-point for what you want in tired Filipino food, cafeteria style,steam tables. So La Republika was a breath of fresh air. There is patio seating as you enter. If you want to eat inside, like on a very cold winter's day, a rainy day, or a sweltering summer day, you might prefer to eat indoors. There are some tables as you walk inside with meh ambiance, and another nicer back room. It's not really an intimate, romantic place. But the complaints stop there. This is an open kitchen, so you can see if someone is doing something bad like some restaurants do behind closed doors, i.e. accidentally dropping then picking food from the floor and serving it...or spitting on the food of an impolite diner. Yes, it happens. But here, no worries because you can see everything happening. Better year, you can see your food being made to order. Service was prompt and courteous. When my super cute little nephew started in on the halo-halo (mixed preserved fruits, evaporated milk, crushed ice, and ice cream, the wait person nice instructed him and his mom, "It's better if you mix everything first...if you don't you only taste the crushed ice" We started off with the lumpia appetizer. It was good but simple.The 2-piece grilled chicken was excellent, with dark meat marinated and grilled, served with rice and sauteed zucchini. I loved the chicken wings appetizer, moist on the outside. Had it with a side of rice. French fries were excellent, as was the citric infused pancit with red bell peppers, cabbage, and radish in boiled rice noodles, then mixed with chicken broth. The food was not totally old school, but some modern improvements in the food was delicious. We shared the halo halo desert. Total cost was $55 before tip. Excellent place. I'd make this a permanent go to place if I lived here.

Very bad service, it seems the servers are not very happy when ur ordering. If you are in restaurant business and u put a certain food in Menu then you should have enough for the day. It's only lunch and you don't have it anymore? Chicken Inasal was over cooked, burnt and VERY DRY! No Ice Cream in Halo Halo and yet she still charged full price for it. When a customer complains, at least make it be apologetic enough that you didn't give good enough service... Not at all! Lower than negative restaurant service.

Cannot recommend this place enough and have taken numerous friends/family here because it's a fun experience overall! Ordering the Boodle Fight platters is a great way to have everything taken care of for you. The Bonifacio Feast is my go to -- it has a great variety of well-barbequed meats, rice, and to tie it all together, there's ice cream at the end! The pork skewers are AMAZING. It's slightly sweet and goes super well with the rice. The chicken wings I always end up also ordering an appetizer of as well because they're so good and disappear way too quickly. You can also a Halo Halo here, either as a dessert or as something to accompany your entire meal. You mix up what they give you in the mason jar (consisting of a variety of sweet ingredients) and it's a nice, cool dessert to enjoy. Their pancit palabok was also very yummy! And thoroughly enjoyed their salmon tartare as well. And their lumpia (egg rolls/spring rolls) are also a sure win. The only thing I've had that I didn't love was the squid. Which tasted a little bland to me. But there are so many other amazing options on the menu that it doesn't bother me to avoid that one dish!

A small restaurant that's tucked inside a semi basement and very easily missed. Don't let that deter you because the service, the food and the presentation do not reflect your initial impression. If you go as a group, I highly recommend their boodle fight meals. They come with your choice of seafood, meat or a mix depending on your choice. The presentation is really unlike any other restaurant I've been to! Both meat and seafood dishes were really great! It's recommended for two people and it's a fair portion and fills you up since it comes with a lot of rice. You could also add a side to share if you wanted. I recommend the sisig which has chicken liver, making us hesitant to choose it at first but we weren't disappointed! We also enjoyed the sangria which they make in house and comes in a 1L mason jar, super refreshing on a hot summer day!

It's Resto Friday again, yay!!! We are literally skipping the dishes, but with Uber . We Decided to look up best Uber Eats and this restaurant came up. We ordered the Lapu-Lapu feast which consisted of Grilled seabass, Grilled shrimps, salmon ceviche and calamari...Oh my yuuuum that was a quite the feast . We also ordered a side ordered of Grilled Seabass, everything was so flavorful, fresh absolutely delicious. A must try!!!

Referred by my friend. I asked if there is a similar restaurant as Tinuno in Toronto. La Republika is very close. They offer currently only take out. The plate is pretty huge. But unlike Tinuno. The rice is white rice instead of garlic rice. You need to ask and pay for garlic rice. For the grilled squid, sadly it's not a whole squid. Only few pieces. But it's tasty. Few options available on the menu. They should call ahead to order. It may take up to 30 minutes to prepare. Compare to Tinuno, the price is expensive. Overall: Taste 4/5 Price 3.5/5 (~$100 to feed four people)

I had the eggplant salad - fresh and flavorful - and one pork skewer - delicious and good value. They have a few outdoor tables and there is also a nice picnic area across the street at the Jewish General Hospital (open to the public). It took a while to get the food so call ahead to order if you are in a hurry.
