Usually pork but I think you can ask them to make chicken lumpia for catering order.

If you are missing the Filipino style barbecue, you've come to the right place. The size is bigger and the taste is on point. I like the chicken better than the pork.
All transactions are for take away only, they've no area for dine in.
Bring cash as they don't accept credit cards.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Aug 6, 2024
What I ordered:
-Rice plate with chicken and pork skewer
_
Fil-Am is a true gem. Their affordable and delicious food keeps me coming back. I usually order the rice plate with chicken and pork skewers, which are always flavorful with a perfectly charred taste. My family loves this place, and it's great for a quick dinner option. Although the store is always busy, it lacks indoor seating, so you have to grab and go. It can get particularly crowded during lunch and dinner hours due to its popularity. They also offer excellent catering options for parties. The staff is always friendly and generally quick with orders. I highly recommend giving it a try if you haven't already.

We got 2 pork skewers and 2 chicken skewers. $3.50 each, cash only.
Wow, the skewers were huge. Never had skewers so large. There were 3 of us eating, and 4 skewers were the perfect amount. The meat had a great sweet sauce on it, the meat was slightly charred but not burned. It wasn't as tender as I've had it in other places, but still pretty good.
Service was good too, people were friendly and fast. Looks like they had a ton of other good looking food I didn't get to try. Hope to be back.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 21, 2024
Daly City is the best area known for authentic fillipino food in the Bay Area. Authentic, fast, no frill place, and affordable. This is an unassuming hole in the wall place that a lot of locals go to. Line was still long as of 6:30 pm(even though it closes at 7 pm) one thing is that it is cash only. It's buffet style and you pay at the end of the line. Best known for their pork and chicken skewers. Huge and a bang for your buck it comes to about $3.50 per one. 2 skewers I think would feed a person. You have the option to get it straight up, with rice, or with pancit but you pay more for the add on. Everything was so flavorful, but wished they gave an extra drizzle of the famous sauce on the skewers or to allow a request to have extra container on the side. It wasn't dry, but t could've used more. The chicken was super moist, the pork was beautifully charred but alittle fatty/grizzly in some areas. This place is a grab and go place and there's not much room inside. The lady taking our order was super nice and patient as we were asking a lot of questions since it was our first time there. We were asking about what desserts they offer but a lot was sold out or unavailable and wished there were labeled pictures of what everything was since it was alittle confusing connecting the dots. We didn't get anything else since they are most known for this item. I know a lot of people order here for catering and in bulk. Perfect for a large party and prices are reasonable.
Street parking could be tough..we had to go around the block. Look for the green sign and that's where the place is. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for some authentic fillipino food.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - 3139366Aug 15, 2024
Great kabobs and portion sizes. Cafeteria size, food made daily, sitting hot behind a glass so you can pick. Downside of this is that you may want to know what you're ordering before getting there. Line was long when I went for lunch time so hard to ask what things are. Service is quick and made to go (not eating room). I got lumpia, adobo and a kabob. My fav was the kabob, the adobo was coo but the lumpia was cooked too hard for me. All in all what is best is what they're known for their kabob, quick service and good prices.

The fact that you know immediately when you walk in that the food is going to be amazing, authentic, and made with love. This spot has been my go to for get togethers with big groups or meals with friends. They are the best for any occasion.
You have to try the bbq pork and chicken on a stick. The meat is so flavorful and juicy best described like eating at a barbecue. Also love the pancit and Shanghai lumpia, which are the perfect appetizers.
My family has been impressed every time we have a get together and I can't recommend their catering enough. Make sure you order in advance.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jul 7, 2024Updated review4 check-ins
Still the best chicken kebobs in the Bay Area. I don't live near but when I'm in fog town I make sure to swing by and get their grilled chicken kebob plate. You get two skewers and rice for about $11 out the door. The quality hasn't changed and the flavor is unbeatable. They don't skimp on the sauce and portions. Definitely worth every cent.

This is one of my favorite places to get affordable Filipino food! My favorite is the chicken skewer with pancit. The chicken skewer is always fresh as you can see them grilling up the food right in front of you. It's also a steal for $3.50 to get a meaty skewer. Their lumpia is also an affordable snack option. They're currently selling 10 mini lumpia's for $4.
If you're throwing a party, you can order ahead of time and go towards the cash register on the day of pick up to skip the line of people ordering food.
Parking can be difficult but there are usually one or two spots available.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jun 30, 20242 check-ins
Amazing people, always helping with a smile no matter how long the line gets. Best believe that line gets long. They are fast! The food is always the best. This hold a special place in my heart. Been coming here for 15 years and nothing has changed. The combos are always priced to sell. There's no indoor seating. Cash only and come early. If you try calling on a Sunday or before a major holiday, good luck. That phone will stay ringing. This is a gem in Daly City and if you've never been, stop by. It's only a mini detour from the city.

I just spent $17 on a delicious meal that could have easily fed two people. That's a hard find in the Bay Area and deserves major love/attention.
I ordered Shanghai lumpia, garlic rice with BBQ chicken and pork skewers, and one turon to-go. The drive home to South Bay was torturous, as the delicious aroma of garlic and fire-grilled meat filled my car and had me drooling. The turon didn't make it home. Desert for an appetizer; the perks of being an adult. ;)
When I opened the entree container, I realized there was A LOT of food. I enjoyed it for lunch and dinner. The rice was very fragrant and delicious. The BBQ pork used belly parts and had a lovely chunk of fat. Yummy. The chicken was very tender and tasty. There is nothing that could have made this meal better 5/5.
The lumpia was delicious, as well. It was still crispy when I got home. It was so good it didn't even need the included sauce. 4/5
The people working there were very friendly. I'm sure they would have explained some of the other available dishes (there were no labels), but I didn't want to hold up the line.
Well, I'm going to be on a diet for the next few days, but I will definitely be back and encourage you all to go to visit this gem.Helpful 4Thanks 1Love this 4Oh no 0
