Certified Philly’s

Heavenly! Everything was delicious! Philly threw down on our orders and Mike knows service. Felt like family coming for Christmas dinner, keep up the great work kuya 😎. First off, the Salmon Katsu was perfectly crisped covered in delicious Japanese style katsu sauce and you have to eat the seaweed with it-I lived in Japan for 4 years and I’ve never tasted a combo like this: uh, impressed. Garlic Noodles were so delicious with extra lemon on it. Tasted like a beautiful cousin of pancit canton, so good. Sinigang-gang Lumpia’s were crisped with excellence and covered in a delectable sinigang ranch combo. And they weren’t the skinny taquito style that some people have tried to sell. Pair that with the vinegary tanginess of the suka, yes please 🙏 The Beef dish, I can’t remember the name but it was also delish. It was a bit salty for my preference but that’s probably just me. The rice will lighten the flavor so I wished it was on the side. Just preferences, but it was still so good! The Garlic Lemon Pepper Wings were nomz! Great flavor and the fries were like perfect. Just the right amount of crunch. Hella solid combo! I will be bacc, take my money!

Absolutely amazing every single time I eat here. Prices are reasonable and the serving sizes are so good. I always leave full and have leftovers to take home. The flavors are on another level and the presentation of the food is so great. The space is very clean and the staff is attentive and nice. Definitely one of my go-to spots in Salinas! Chef Philly is so talented!

Best place ever! Service is amazing. I got the salmon katsu and it was the most moist salmon ive ever had in my life!!? We also got lumpia and it was cooked PERFECTLY!! Highly recommend! 💞🤩

Couldn’t find a place to stay in Monterrey and decided to relocate to Salinas. Found this place opened by a Culinary Institute of America alumni and what a Wao! Experience ! The tostadas were an outburst of flavors and a fine example of fusion cuisine. A foodie can tell the professional touch : the layers of seaweed , spicy tuna and the roasted topping with the coriander sprouting, an OMG!

I would come here just for the music. It set the tone, and everything else was just as good, Atmosphere, Service, Food. Thank you to all the staff. There will be a next time.

Fries 🍟 were fire 🔥. Rice had a nice twist 😋 than typical shrimp fried rice.

Went in the middle of the week, and I must say 5/5, 10/10, the best dining experience I've had in Salinas. I was greeted, and an order was taken by a gentleman named Michael. He was a delight in every sense of the word. He was attentive the entire visit, had amazing suggestions on the prawns, and what dish to pair them with, all while being highly energetic & efficient. Great staff in front of the house. The owner/operator came out and introduced himself to me, Chef Philly, it was such a pleasure to have the owner introduce himself after indulging, in what I would call, the "best food in town." I ordered poke, garlic prawns with half rice and half noodles and a charred ahi tostada. I must say I've never experienced such an exquisite blend of flavors in one meal. Outstanding service, amazing food, will be back indefinitely!
