Pin Pin Restaurant - Vancouver

Best food I’ve ever tasted I’m going back here soon!

Best Filipino Restaurant hands down. The Crispy Pata was really yummy�

There was some friendly squabble at the counter about who was going to pay. Then the staff flat out insulted me in front of my face in Tagalog as I was paying; she must have thought I wasn't Filipino. Never been so offended at a restaurant.The staff were noticeably very nice to customers who spoke Tagalog and rude to others.The food here is overpriced, not very tasty, and the customer service is horrible. Spend your money elsewhere.

This restaurant is a bit noisy, mostly clean and served up a generally tasty food. The Taro leaf in coconut milk was salty. The rice had no salt at all. So it all had to be blended.The Bihon (nice noodle) was alright. It had a nice smoked flavor to it but they can do better than that by adding more vegetables and being a little more generous with shrimps etc, then reducing the noodle. It cost $10 so they can deliver a better value.The BBQ squid was nice. Very nice actually. Perfectly done. Not burnt. We waited 45 minutes attested placing our order to get the food.Prices are OK. I'll state what I think is missing:1- olive rice cooked in olive oil. 2- some fresh basil leaves on the BBQ dishes.3- faster service (will increase their revenue).4- the water smelt like fridge. Get fresh water with clean ice and a sprinkle of lemon juice. That leaves an impression.Altogether a good place to try. No regrets.

They have a huge variety of Filipino dishes. I was surprised when I browsed through their menu. It was hard to choose as I was alone and don't have someone to share the food with me. I tried their lengua as this is the top 1 on my Filipino food craving's list and it did not disappoint. The only thing I did not like was them serving everything at once. I ordered the appetizer prior to the lengua, it is an appetizer after all. But it didnt serve it's purpose anymore as they brought everything at once. Customer service was not bad but not impressive either. Although I was absolutely satisfied with the lengua!
