Nanay’s

Awesome place to go., nothing to say than its fantastic food and people ‚.” TASTE OF HOME”

I’m so excited to come and visit the most popular filipino authentic and home style restaurant here at chandler, arizona. From their most popular dishes to choose from like pork sinigang, beef nilaga, beef kare kare, sisig, pakbet, pork nenudo, beef caldereta etc. All of their prices are affordable. You can also order breakfast all day! Tapsilog, longsilog, tocilog, daingsilog, jeprosilog, cornsilog, hotdogsilog etc. And of course you must try their pork bbq, crispy pata, pork lechon kawali and chicharon bulaklak on a special order and all I can say is so delicious and a must try food. Then at the end they have this desert «halo halo» that you must have as well! My advise to you is before coming to Nanay’s, come and be prepared to be satisfied with your cravings and leave with a smile especially to the owners, friendly staff and services, homelike environment «tfc shows running all day or you can request to sing a karaōke to entertain and be entertained.

Many years ago I lived in the Philippines. Eating here brought back many great memories. The food was excellent, the facility was very clean, the staff was very friendly. I would highly recommended Nanay’s.

Oh man… This place is good! I rarely eat Filipino food, but that’ll change. I have no clue what I ate but everything was delish! The nice lady behind the counter explained all of the dishes to us and still, I have no clue what everything was. My husband and I shared 5 different dishes and it was all tasty. We had a banana jackfruit dessert that was great as well. Definitely will be back!

This place is all about home cooking meal. The people who cook there are like family. I have been here twice and everything I picked was tasty and flavorful. I think if they make some signs to tell us non Philippino what the items are made of that would be great.
Must order items:
BBQ pork skewer
Garlic Rice
Fried Banana
Pansit

I’m giving this place a solid four stars. I have to say that Karen W. was right when she wrote that this place is a step up from the previous restaurant that occupied this space.
I’ve only been here a couple of times but have enjoyed the food. I’ve had the Caldereta, beef steak and some soup. All dishes were very tasty. My wife has enjoyed the Sisig and Laing along with the soup.
This place is a hike for us so we occasionally will go and order a lot of take out. Masarap!

My go to place whenever I miss home cooked meals. They have the most friendliest workers. They greet you right away with happiest face whenever you come in. I have to say my favorite is the paksiw na tilapia with bittermelon and eggplant. Superb service all the time!

So good! The best Filipino food this side of town. The Turon is so yummy and made with Jackfruit.

What a step up from the previous Filipino restaurant at this location! Nanay’s serves stick-​to-​your-​ribs, hearty, comforting food, perfect for a chilly day! We came here around 11 AM for lunch and were the only customers here. As we left a few more people trickled in.
There were a lot of dishes to choose from, with a variety of meat (Chicken, pork, or beef). There was one section off to the side that had some crispy fish. I got a 3 item combination ($ 9.50) which included a plate of 2 scoops of rice. On the menu board it said soup was included so I asked which soup was part of the meal. The person helping us out said she could give me a little bowl of broth but not the other contents of the soup (Which included some greens and pork) so I’m not sure if soup is actually still part of the combo deal since my friend didn’t get any extra soup for her 3 combination meal.
Each dish I had was very flavorful. I especially enjoyed the pork with coconut milk and green beans. Unfortunately I don’t know the name of it but it was tasty! The kare kare and dinuguan I also had were enjoyable. My friend’s chicken dishes were also quite good and the broth was lovely.
Drinks are by the can or bottle and include bottled water, Snapple, and various sodas. There is also a free-​range container of iced water to serve yourself.
Service was good and the person helping us out was warm and friendly. When we entered the restaurant though the music (Tuned to a mix of «easy listening» artists like Barry Manilow) was cranked really high up to dance club level volume! They did turn it down a bit once I asked :)
I’ll definitely come here again and I’ll have to save room next time for halo halo!

Great food and the friendliest people. That halo-​halo is straight from the island, I swear it. Nobody does it better than Pampanga

They have fairly decent food. I didn’t get to try much since I arrived before closing and they were limited on selections, but from what I had, it was good. I do however recommend their halo halo! It was so good and is a must try!
The service was amazing! Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be back to this place when I visit Phoenix.

Great food and friendly service… My husband and I only knew a couple of food items but they were helpful in explaining all the dishes to us. It’s a nice family owned restaurant and we will definitely be coming back!

Wow!!!
I dropped in on a Saturday & it was just starting to pick up. It’s like a buffet style set up & so many dishes to choose from. I was craving the noodle dish (ponsit) & it wasn’t ready but the owners had the cook make it right on the spot.
The family owned place really goes out of their way to cater to what customer wants & that is a huge plus for anyone.
They took the time to say hello to everyone & asked if it’s a first visit. Very impressive how they try to make sure everyone has a great dining experience here.
Now the food…
It is very delicious. Chicken adobo was cook to the perfection. The juice in the chicken was just right to make it moist & not dry like any other chicken breast. Very flavorful.
Noodle was just as I had expected. Brings back memory from back home in Hawaii.
Banana lumpia was cooked just right with the right amount of banana. it was not over powering to take away the taste of the lumpia. Vegetable lumpia wa yum.
What can I say… this place is just right for those who are looking for home cooked meal away from home. You just have to try it to know what I’m talking about!!!

Nanay’s resto didn’t fail to satisfy my cravings! First time in arizona and a warm welcome from the owners alice and her sister. Definitely will come back for more before going back to the san francisco.

Absolutely Filipino food craving satisfied. The family is kampampangan and you will definitely love each meal. We went there a few minutes before closing and they gave us free meals that are all sooo good. Everyone is so nice and friendly and definitely a place we will come back to.
Homesickness cured for now! Burp!!!

Bored with the local fast food places I wanted to look into local great restaurants. I’ve never had Filipino food before and the reviews made me go here.
The food was absolutely amazing. A good friend of mine recommended the Adobo, pancit, or lumpia. Everything was A +. Customer service was also outstanding, and I felt like a valued customer and not another dollar. Will recommend and come back.

Sunday Morning brunches are one of the times that we as a family endeavor to set aside for a get together.
As my daughters have moved on with college and careers, we haven’t been able to set aside time just to sit down and get caught up on activities and life.
Once a month, if our schedules work out, and everyone can accept the meeting invitation, we choose a place that is convenient for everyone to meet up and enjoy a good meal.
Since all of them are in the East Valley, we chose this Filipino Restaurant whose delicacies and flavor are very familiar to all of us. It worked out great because my wife and I were heading to Gilbert, and my daughters were on their way to watch the Phoenix Symphony perform this afternoon.
Nanay’s is a great introduction for those unfamiliar with this type of cultural cuisine as there are a myriad of dishes to choose from. The flavors aren’t on the extreme side, and the selections are quite palatable to the uninitiated.
Today’s menu just had a great variety of delicious beef, chicken, pork, fish, and vegetable dishes that we had to sample nearly all of them. We all had two item selections (comes with two entrees and two scoops of white rice), and chose differing dishes. None of the dishes disappointed us whatsoever.
Then came the obligatory Halo-​Halo dessert, which is a mixture of shaved ice, evaporated milk, jello, boiled sweet beans, and fruits. Just absolute sweet and delicious. No complaints on this department either.
The place is quite clean, and the staff was just so accommodating and friendly. They were so grateful for each and everyone of the customers that were there. The whole atmosphere was very relaxed and inviting.
When we got done eating and planning our upcoming birthday and holiday events, we proceeded to leave, and Frank (owner and host), thanked us personally for our visit.
The delectable dishes, and the service with a smile will have us coming back time and time again.

I haven’t had Filipino food before, but this place will make you love it. If you don’t believe me, go in and ask to try some samples, they’re super friendly and helpful.
At lunch they served cafeteria style, and you could get a plate with one, two or three entrees. The prices were very reasonable.

Recently relocated to Tucson, Arizona and there are no Filipino places around so we are constantly cooking it at home, boo hoo for us right? Any time we are in Phoenix however we stop in.
Sometimes you just want Mom’s home cooking without having to work for it, and this place does the trick! Their tilapia tasted just like home, but I can’t say the same for the adobo or pork menudo, in my pork menudo (respecting the fact that every Filipino has their own adjustments to this recipe, i.e. some use raisins some don’t or some use achuete powder others not so much, you get it)…the ingredients however tasted old. Almost like they didn’t sell it all and have been using the same batch reheated over and over.
The adobo tasted fine but there was also equal parts bone as there was meat in our served portion.
Sinigang was wonderful.
All in all the food was good and works for us when we have a hankering and happen to be in the city. But you know what they say, there is nothing like Mom’s home cooking, no matter how hard you try! :)

We’re returning customers!!! TRY THEIR SINIGANG!
They have the best Sinigang and filipino food around this area. We’re from california who moved to Phoenix. Didn’t know where to try for filipino food. Asked around and finally came to NANAY’S! We drove really far to get here just to get AUTHENTIC filipino food! Love it here!
