Food is great. Service sucks! There's a lot of waiters but they are disorganized. How many times have we asked for something and it has not been addressed. And then when we called one of them out, he says "yeah what do you want?".

Authentic Filipino restaurant with so much good food and choices! Excellent service! We just walked in and we were seated right away! :) definitely coming back again!

Overall, food and service were pretty good! This was the first time my mom and I have ever had filipino food, so we ordered what seemed popular online. The lumpia shanghai was good, basically like egg rolls but skinnier and with meat instead of vegetables. The lechon kawali was delicious, but I'm not used to eating such oily food, so I thought it was a bit too heavy and had to remove the fat. The taste was good, though, and it was very crispy! The pancit was okay, but it didn't stand out. And the halo-halo was delicious! I think I would absolutely come back just for the dessert. Note: come with cash! They charge extra if you pay with card. The servers were very nice, and the restaurant is super spacious and has a nice vibe. Overall would recommend!

This place hits on so many levels. As soon as you walk in, it's just so inviting. It helps that you're surrounded by a glass case of some of the tastiest pastries that make your mouth water. Such a great idea so that you're enticed when you walk in, and you're reminded to pick up a treat before leaving. Best part of our meal was the halo halo. It's served family style in a big bowl. My mom is a halo halo fanatic and this one was the best by far. I love that they had a good ratio of "stuff" in it. Not sure what everything is, but the coconut topping, pieces of mochi and pinipig were delish. They put just the right amount of condensed milk. Will definitely be back for this. Staff was nice but thought it was weird that they asked if we had reservations when we walked in. Understood completely when an hour later when we were about to leave, the place started to fill up. Place is nice and clean with a bright open feel. There are partitions if you want to book a section for a gathering.

THIS PLACE HITS THE SPOT!! Tita Mia has traditional homemade Filipino food - I highly recommend eating family style. It brought so much joy to my heart. I was here on a Friday night with a group of 4. Although it was crowded we were seated immediately. As soon as you walk in you are welcomed with several cases of desserts courtesy of Jennieve's bakery. Service was pretty unorganized - staff members share tables and no one checked in on us throughout the evening. We had to grab anyones attention to order, get more water, grab the check etc. This did not stop us from having a great experience. The food is super sarap (delicious) that the slow service is forgiven haha. We started with the lumpia Shanghai. The pork is seasoned well, the lumpia paper is of great quality and this app was deep fried perfectly. For our main courses we tried the - daing bangus sizling combo, chicken adobo and lechon kawali. All of the dishes were outstanding, very flavorful and portions are generous. Out of the 4 dishes my favorite was the daing bangus. Im a sucker for a dish that has vinegar - YUMMM! For dessert we had halo halo. Ughhh!! The Filipina in me loooooves how good this was. I would come back here just for the halo halo.

I like this place. It's great for having groups and parking lot is huge. There was a substantial amount of food for each dish which was good for sharing family style. Prices were very reasonable after dividing it amongst our group. We ordered a lot of dishes. Customer service was attentive and fast. -lumpia Shanghai 5/5 - crispy and delicious -kaldereta 5/5 - beef perfectly moist and tender -crispy pata 3/5 - nice and crispy on the outside. Meat stayed moist on the inside although there were parts where the meat was kind of dry. -chicken adobo 5/5 - chicken wasn't dry and was nicely marinated. -garlic fried rice - it was okay but nice to even out the fried food with the rice. -daing bangus 5/5 - milkfish was flaky and well seasoned with the sauces and spices -lechon kawali 5/5 - one of my favorite dishes. Pork belly deep fried and tastes great with rice -kutsinta 5/5 - first time I had this kind of dessert. Just the right amount of chew. -halo halo 5/5 - huge amount to feed our whole group -ube cake 5/5 - cake not too sweet.

I think for everyone who had the fortunate of having Asian parents or grandparents that cooked for them while growing up, Tita Mia invokes memories of lots of those flavorful, healthy(ish) comfort foods. Now if you combine this with a giant parking lots, beautiful huge dining room, reasonable prices (for the enormous portions), and fast friendly service you have a winner! You can't really go wrong with anything you order here as everything is pretty much between delicious to very delicious. The lechon kawali is nice and tender with a nice crisp on the skin and comes in a generous portion. The sizzling sisig is filled with umami, with the saltiness tempered down nicely by the onion. The pancit, whether stir fried or in a delicious soup is nice and slurpy and flavorful no matter what you pair it with. The desserts are also amazing here as well. The chocolate cake is full of lots of fudge and not too sweet. The flan is full of caramel, a bit thick but full of delicious eggy flavor and quite smooth. The ube crinkles are like little taro cookie cakes that are sweet and fragrant. Overall, a great place to get a great meal at a great price and be treated like you're family!
