“ I was in the area and went there on the first day for dinner. The owner Lisa was a delight, such a sweet soul, we chatted for a few and she recommended the Okoy as appetizer and I ordered the curry chicken as my entree. Both were amazing and the portions were huge. Before leaving, Lisa made me a cup of tea to go as the temperature started to drop. I went back the next day for lunch and the food was even better than the day before. I ordered Cuban Flan as dessert and I couldn't tell if I was in Miami or Virginia for so good it was. I will definitely go back when i am in the area! ”
“ My trip to Taste of the World Restaurant was a unique culinary adventure that immersed me in the essence of Filipino cuisine. I was welcomed with warmth and hospitality as soon as I walked in, which set the stage for an amazing dinner experience. The meals are unparalleled in their genuineness. With each bite of the delicate beef and creamy peanut sauce of the Kare Kare, I was taken back to the streets of Manila. I was hankering over more Lumpia Spring Rolls because of their delicious blend of crispiness and savoury contents. Not only is the cuisine great, but the restaurant's welcoming atmosphere and kind staff also make it stand out. It was the ideal location to enjoy authentic Filipino flavours with friends and family because of the lively yet welcoming atmosphere. Every guest was made to feel welcome and well-cared for by the attentive and exemplary personnel. Overall, I had an absolutely wonderful experience.

“ The best Kare Kare I've had in the DMV Actual oxtail is used for their kare kare which is very rare to come by in this area ”
“ I was craving Filipino food and found this awesome place. Came at night so it was very chill and quiet but the staff was so sweet. I believe the owner was there and I loved her. Now the food was so delicious and flavorful. The lumpia was the best I’ve ever had. Dessert was mango with sticky rice and I’ve had some before but this was next level delicious. I will definitely be back and reccomend this place to satisfy your cravings :) ”
“ It's great to find an authentic Filipino restaurant in Herndon! They grind their own meat for the lumpia and serve San Miguel. Everything was delicious! I will be back. ”
“ I went here yesterday night and had my first filipino food experience. The food is wonderful and the service is even better. I would definitely reccommend trying this place out if you're in the area and you're looking for a filipino food experience! ”
“ Finally a fulfilling authentic Filipino food experience. Our waitress was so nice and genuine, generously told us about the place, and understanding of our dietary restrictions. The turon was my favorite part, but the lumpia was a nostalgic piece to enjoy. My family definitely plan on coming back. 10 out of 10 everything! Only thing I would change about this place is to double down on the Filipino cuisine. ”
“ This place is amazing indeed. My son had a Tapsilog (Tapa, Sinangag(garlic fried rice) and Itlog (egg), a well known Filipino breakfast, also Lumpia. I had Kare Kare (Peanut sauce stewed oxtail. OMG, it’s the most delicious Kare Kare I have ever tried. The oxtail just melted in my mouth, gourmet Kare Kare indeed. Presentation was awesome and customer service was excellent. It’s a hidden gem indeed. We will definitely be back for many more to try all their dishes. Though they have international cuisines , so happy that they embraced and also highlight their Filipino dishes. You will not be disappointed with this restaurant. We finished our meal with Turon (Fried Banana) topped with Ice cream. Thank you for the heavenly meal. We loved it so much! We left with big smiles on our faces. ”
