Walked up to the window and were greeted by Chef Reinas friendly face! We ordered the sisig silog, ube pancakes with bacon, and the birria quesadilla. The sisig silog was our favorite, it had all the juicy, fatty, tanginess I needed with incredible garlic rice! Birria quesadilla was SO tasty, perfectly crispy, filled with amazing carnitas and the consommé was heavenly. Ube pancakes were lacking in ube flavor but the bacon seriously made up for it. We took our food to the little park right by and enjoyed Brisbane! Overall amazing experience and I want to go back right now. Thanks Chef Reina!!!

Amazing vegan Filipino breakfast. A must try when in SF! We had a sampling of the spam sandwich, lonsilog and other treats! All amazing!

Delicious! Vegan! Cheap friends, this isn't an everyday thing, but so worth it when you need it to be vegan. And actually I don't think you could do it much cheaper if it wasn't vegan. But it is, and you so wont miss eggs, meat, milk....Just YUM!

Haven't had Filipino food for a while so I decided to give Chef Reina a try. I'm a pescatarian so this place is perfect. I didn't see any seatings. Just order take out at the door. Came here around 1pm on a Friday. They are out of a lot of items already so I ordered sizzling sisig only. It was good. Definitely would love to try other items on the menu.

AMAZING! My wife took me here for my birthday lunch and it was incredible. We walked up to the window and Kat greeted us right away. She made excellent recommendations and we are so happy we took them. Her kindness was genuine, and she went above and beyond to make our experience spectacular. The food...oh my gosh! It's so hard finding not only Filipino food in our area (we live an hour away from Chef Reina), but PLANT-BASED Filipino food. They do such a wonderful job reinventing the classic dishes I grew up with while staying true to what we know and love. So thankful for this place! Oh, and we got tocino, singingang, bbq skewers, lumpia, and ube cupcakes. Masarap talaga! Also, there is a cute little park with tables and benches just a stones throw away to sit and eat the delicious food. It's a quiet, quaint little area. Thank you Chef Reina and your amazing team. Seriously, Kat is AWESOME! My wife and I will be back!

A true gem hidden in Brisbane! I've been meaning to try Chef Reina and I finally stopped by for a snack while I was in the area. The staff were super friendly and I really appreciated the extra welcome. Once I walked up, they proactively asked if it was my first time and if was looking for more of a snack (since it wasn't lunch or dinner time). They then recommended items, which I ended up going with! The restaurant serves only takeaway. You order at the door. They don't have indoor seating, and they have a small 2 person table right outside. Parking is only available on the street but I never have trouble finding a spot in downtown Brisbane. I had the Birria Tacos thanks to the staff recommendation. They were super flavorful! They don't skimp out on the filling. I can't wait to go back to try more items!

Straightforward, yet imaginatively appetizing vegan Filipino food. My friends and I shared a couple different plates and a la carte dishes (Lechon, Tosilog, CrunchWrap, Birria Quesadilla, and Tacos), all of which were seasoned nicely and delicious. The Tosilog was a favorite, as the texture of the vegan meat was spot on and the flavors were authentic and tasty. The lechon also deserves a fair shoutout; I've never had vegan pork belly that was damn close to the original! The guy who took our order was very patient and helpful, and the ambience of the shop is minimal but cute for a take-out only spot. Yummy!

The place is really a quick pick up order place. Love Chef Reina (also famous for her cameo on the recent Netflix series, "You Are What You Eat," so I couldn't wait to try. The Service It was wait was not too long, I went to the local liquor store to grab a drink since this place doesn't have drinks. The Taste This place has great vegan Filipino food , which is ultra rare. I had the tocilog, which was yummy. I would have wanted more sweetness, maybe achara on the size or more of a sauce to flavor, it did have green onion and tomato which helped give the meat acidity though (it's the Kapampangan in me that loves achara) and it definitely was not too oily unlike most tocilog, which I thought was a lot healthier than most traditional Filipino food. They also had scrambled eggs which I believed were vegan as well and it wad a nice surprise with good texture comparable to what you'd fine in a red egg. the garlic rice was yummy and well seasoned, very heavy flavors. I also had the mac salad which was good, which I craved and sweet with chopped pineapple. Verdict ‍ I def recommend as a must-have and there were so many other menu items I didn't get to try. I think the only thing I would have liked more was drink options and achara.

Vegan filipino food is a rare find. Nestled in lil' downtown Brisbane Chef Reina is a small and humble spot with two outdoor tables and chairs. The staff greets you with a lot of warmth and energy asking if you've been here before and is eager to tell you about the cuisine and what's good. We tried the sisiglog and the tocilog and they were delish! They really captured the savory element of these dishes and fills you up. Honestly, I did not miss the meat at all. Would of been 5 stars but they ran out of so many items on the menu. Highly recommend

Came here because I had some time to kill before picking up my mom at SFO. Also, I've been following Chef Reina on Instagram for years! I'm so happy I stopped by and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. I had a bit of a food tour before coming here so I really wasn't that hungry at all but I ended up getting the crunch wrap. Kay, who was working there was so incredibly nice, walked me through the menu, and we gushed about NYC's vegan food scene. The crunch shop was incredible. It was packed to the rim with all the right flavors and textures. If you can't decide what to get in you're hungry this is definitely going to fill you up - I wasn't able to finish at all. There isn't anywhere to eat inside, but it's an order at the window situation and then there's a table outside to eat at. Also, if you need a restroom, you can use the gorgeous public library, which is just a block or two up. I'm dying to come back with a big appetite and try the birria as well as some other items!
