Little Ongpin

Marvellous lunch before or after a visit to Ikea. Seemingly simple clear soup packed with lemony celery flavour, deep fried batter free fish delicious, even the egg was perfect, the little pink dipping sce so tasty. For me the eggplant salad took the trophy, such a lovely mix of flavours. And the Flan desert was worth coming for alone, needs to be eaten not described.

Born and raised Richmond Fil-Can and this is my favorite Filipino restaurant in the city. Price is excellent for the quality of dishes they serve. Most importantly, their staff are friendly and I am never disappointed with their service. Clean and fast, ambience could use upgrading though but most of the patrons are local residents and a lot of employees in the area of all races looking for great Filipino Asian dishes. A lot of the offices in the area do take out orders for groups for office parties as well. Call ahead for sure!

For was good, a bit over priced. Had lots of flavor but the beef tough and had been tenderized with tenderizer which removed any beef flavor. I would go back if the process were cheaper and they used quality meat. Had potential for amazing food but it fell short. The service was friendly and inviting.

Well It's not fine dining, for sure. You get a stack of plates with spoons and forks for you to distribute to your companions. Tables are too close that your back might bump into someone seated at the other table. The Filipino dishes taste very good but some like the "sisig" is too salty for me. Prices have gone up though still reasonable. Service is good and quick. Oh, if you are not Christian just ignore the small stickers on the fiber glass barrier.

Burnt sisig and the "crispy" pata was dry and leathery, like it was re-heated. The food was quite good prior to the pandemic but the quality is now significantly compromised. The decor has strong religious elements/messaging that is potentially uncomfortable and segregating to others of diverse orientation and beliefs.

It's been many years since we visited Little OngPing Restaurant in Richmond on No. 5 Road. It's a very busy place for lunch, especially on weekends. The restaurant has many large tables, great for family gathering. The service was a bit slow due to how busy they were, but they were polite when you wave them down. They offer many authentic Filipino dishes, and all looked very delicious. The three dishes we ordered had delightfully rich flavours. Ongpin is a great little eatery for good Filipino food. Recommended.
