Affordable Filipino snacks that you can order from an easy list(where you put quantity and just tally it up). This kind of food is for people who already like Filipino food, non healthy conscious people, or adventurous food people– because of the pork ear, stomach, intestines, chicken heart, etc. There’s a reason it’s called ‘street food’. It’s not meant to be gourmet or fancy. It’s supposed to be quick, yummy, and most likely unhealthy haha. Enjoy the experience and the food. And each skewer is $ 1, so it’s not breaking your bank to try something out. Also the have self-serve spiced vinegar on the side(makes the food tastes so much better with it) 3 stars because I like it, not LOVE it. It’s decent(neither great or terrible) and fills me up

I love Filipino food. My wife suggested this place after passing by several times a week. After eating lunch at Chowfun, ordering dinuguan I was compelled to write a review. My wife ordered laing, pancit and barbecue pork. The food was meadeoker at best, even the turon was warm but simply average(nothing to write home about). It was clean and the service was good, but again average for a «point-point joint.» In the future, when my family has a craving for Filipino or asian food. I think we’ll drive another block toward American Ranch, Sam Woo, or Cha2O. The cost of food is about the same, but clearly these places have more flavor and Unilocal users rated them above average. Maybe I expected more but when you have numerous places to select from this won’t make the list for places to eat. Hope this helps you, happy eating.

I had an offal good time! Despite the name, Chowfun Restaurant is a typical turo-turo Filipino eatery(think Panda Express) owned by Tambuli Supermarket next door. They offer the common dishes, such as adobo, lechon & pinakbet. However, what sets apart Chowfun from it’s competitors is that from 4pm-8pm Friday — Sunday, Chowfun offers BBQ street food. Comprised of pork & chicken meat & offal, it’s a taste of home where cheap BBQ is for sale on every street corner. Ordering is like you would at the sushi bar or yakitori– Pick up a checklist Mark the ones you want and in what quantity Wait for food I was told the Betamax(pork blood) wasn’t ready just yet, so I finalized my order with chicken isaw(intestines), Adidas(chicken feet) & tenga(pig’s ears). Mmmmm, flashbacks of my last trip to the Philippines, staying at a compound on Pasong Tamo & having my fill of BBQ on a stick came to mind. The Adidas(chicken feet) had that delectable skin that you suck off the toes and the fatty pad of the foot. The tenga(pig’s ears) were collagenly crunchy and helps maintain my glowing skin ;p. The chicken isaw were tender and had just enough intestine taste to remind you that you’re eating offal. Each only $ 1/piece. Other delicious BBQ street food items, ranging from $ 1 — $ 2, include kwek kwek(quail’s eggs), tiyan(pork stomach) & helmet(chicken heads). Surprisingly, a crowd favorite not on the list — chicken butt. What? C’mon! It’s delicious! What’s the best part of chicken butt? The green, creamy filling BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA Service was okay. It’s a Filipino quick-service eatery, with grilling time depending upon how many are in line. A few tables to sit at & enjoy your food. Parking is in a private lot shared by Tambuli, a computer store & Pep Boys. Meat, meat and more meat! Chowfun Restaurant serves up Pinoy food with a weekend twist — BBQ street food. I can’t currently vouch for the hot tray items, but I’m a big fan of the offal on a stick. Cheap & delicious, it’ll keep me coming back for more. For sure, I’m all about the Betamax(pork blood) on my next visit. Highly recommend! NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM

Street food review only. Chicken and pork isaw, bbq pork skewer was fresh and affordable($ 1 each.) Quail egg(kwekkwek) and kikiam were okay too, but I wish it were kept warm. Would come back to try the arroz caldo, balut, and other street food delicacies.
