THE LUMPIA JOINT

Lumpia here is D best! A true Pinoy pride! I truly believe making great food come from a great heart! Love the crew behind this joint !

Food: 2/5 Service and Setting: 3/5 Value: 2/5 The Lumpia Joint is a small food stand on the first level of Fashion Valley. They serve piping hot lumpia and turon. The lady serving me was very nice and told me that my order would be ready a little after 4 minutes. They have precooked lumpia that they place into this giant air fryer sort of machine and it literally dumps your lumpia out when it is finished. Quite a show. Pork Lumpia: 2/5 They have 2 types of lumpia, one being pork and the other being chicken. The lady told me that they taste very similar. You can choose between sweet and sour or sweet chili sauce to dip your lumpia in and I went with sweet and sour. The lumpia are very small and the wrapper doesn’t have a fully fried texture to it, more like an air-fried frozen item, which makes sense. It does carry a fair bit of oil too. The filling is the biggest let down. I’m not Filipino nor have I eaten a multitude of lumpias in my life, but this just wasn’t that great. Most of the lumpias that I have tried and enjoyed were very meat forward and I actually would not be able to tell you if there were any veggies in them. The lumpia at The Lumpia Joint has a very squishy filling with a healthy amount of veggies that give me fake Chinese veggie spring roll vibes. Though I am sure everything was fully cooked because of the temperature, the combination of the steam from the veg and conservative amounts of meat gave it this very odd squishy raw ground meat texture. Though I was not the biggest fan, come out and give it a try!

The lumpia is ok…doesn’t taste good to me, but if your desperate it will do. The turon is good as heck though. Don’t know if it is plantain because it tasted good, more like a banana. Expensive.

Best lumpias

Bomb Enough said.

I really wanted to like this, but food did not sit well for me.

Glad we found this joint. The lumpia, both pork and chicken, taste real good. We tried the chocolate drizzled turon as well, and it is a treat. Shall return to go with the other flavors. Here's to opening up the next joints in UTC or plaza. Hopefully the vacant spot left by Starbucks upstairs at plaza will end up working out.

Ordered The 10 Pack Of Lumpias And Got An Turon Strawberry The Lady Only Put The Pork In The Bag And I Had To Go Back And Ask For The Rest Of My Order She Got All Flabbergasted And Say Why Are You So Aggressive I Just Laughed At Her Lady I Only Can Back For You To Fill My Order You Messed Up Will Never Buy There Again

Love me some lumpia!
