Tipunan

Best Filipino food in oakland. Super authentic Bangus. Only thing is I wish they’d eventually have their own restaurant instead of a ghost kitchen but I will keep ordering from here because it’s just so good. But I respect that restaurants are expensive and that these folks are doing what they can because the food is so worth it.

Be forewarned that this is a Ghost Kitchen, it’s not a real restaurant you can walk into. It’s part of the Oakland Food Hall which is a completely “digital” food ordering place and pick up (some dine in seating but ambience is super questionable). Also, we arrived around 7:10 and ordered (didn’t know it was a ghost kitchen) and walked out with our food in hand at 8:15 or so. Once we placed our order, it showed a staggering wait time of about 40 minutes, but it actually ended up taking about an hour. They kept saying they were backed up but there were barely any people ordering from Tipunan, mostly the Pollo Campero place :( So not sure how they were 1 hour backed up for 2 entrees and the lumpia which were cold. The pork adobo and loganisa entrees however were amazing. Delicious food, but I can’t justify the unpredictable wait. We may order way in advance then pick it up, but honestly it’s not a great area at night as well.

I ordered catering from Tipunan for a 30-person surprise party and they took such good care of us. The party was on a Sunday, which isn’t during normal business hours, but Jojo made sure pick up went smoothly. The food was exceptional and we got compliments from a lot of people at the party asking where we ordered from. We got chicken skewers, pork adobo, vegetarian lumpia and tofu sisig - everything was scrumptious and we had more than enough for our group. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for some authentic, Filipino flavors!

The food here is so delicious. We had a birthday party for our daughter and the food was such a hit! Everyone was asking about it and going back for more. The staff is also extremely accomodating. There was a miscommunication with my order and they handled it seamlessly. These guys are great! We highly recommend them.

I'm a big fan of this place, as each dish I've tried reminds me so much of my family and home-cooked meals made by my mom and aunts. I like the pork sinigang, pork adobo (especially a few days after), tocilog, and kare kare. I'm obsessed with the spaghetti—simple, comforting, tasty. I like ordering a bunch of takeout at once and then stocking up for the week at home, since some portions are a decent size.

Amazing people and amazing food. The lumpia is addicting. (I could devour a party tray on my own!) Super friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely support Tipunan in the future.

I catered Tipunan for my bday. They were flexible about what time we picked up the food and everyone in attendance talked about how good the food was. TY TIPUNAN!

The food was fabulous. The guest loved the veggie pancit and lumpia's. Thank you, Jojo! I will be coming back real soon. :) Vegetarian options: Pancit and Lumpia's Dietary restrictions: No meat
