Tipunan (Filipino Food)

Authentic Filipino food unlike the other "Filipino" restaurant in Oakland (iykyk). Nilagang baka was great!!! Also enjoyed the bangus. I wish there were more veggie dishes on the menu like pinakbet though. Glad to find an authentic Pinoy place in the East Bay! Only downside is the long wait time. I ordered through door dash and they took more than an hour to prep and deliver the food.

I ordered kare kare with beef and beef nilaga and both were really salty. I know these dishes are eaten with rice (which btw I ordered 2 orders of rice but only got one container which I assumed they combined but not sure if I got the amount I paid for🤷🏻‍♀). So, yes I tried eating it with rice and it was still salty! I had to add alot of hot water to the nilaga soup and a bit to the kare kare sauce to make it palatable to eat! 😭 The beef for both dishes were tender at least. I was really looking forward to loving this place since it's the closest Pinoy spot to my house but I guess it's a one and done with this one. I even had to wait almost 30 mins past the time they said my order was going to be ready and standing around at a ghost kitchen storefront devoid of human connection and some kind of bugs (flies?) flying around in the middle of the waiting room longer than necessary kind of dampened my appetite. Anyway, so $27 for kare kare with missing sitaw green beans and odd choice of cabbage in lieu of bokchoy and $24 for nilaga soup that I have to water down in order to eat is definitely not it.

I wanna give this filipino restaurant a good review because im very satisfied. I ordered food here twice now and i love the food. Generous amount of serving, i love the Beef Kare Kare( its a whole bow and very tender beef) i love the Bangus silog - crispy Bangus and taste really good- and i tried also the Crispy Pork Belly with rice( Lechon Kawali Silog) was really good too. Really tasty food from Tipunan . Happy Tummy here. 🙂👍

There is not enough good things I can say about Tipunan food, service, and hospitality - JUST GO HERE! This is some of the best food I’ve had in a while - period. And Filipino comfort food on top of that makes it even better. Everything we had was bursting with flavors and the extra sauces on the side were bomb. If I lived closer I’d order every few weeks - everything is delicious and memorable Sinigang - tamarind base with the pork ribs - SO GOOD. Pork belly adobo with quail egg the best I’ve had. Tapsilog so balanced sweet and salty!! Sisiglog with fresh chilis so good but even mild is spicy so beware Bilo bilo best I’ve had Lumpia - enough said - so yummy Thanks to Jojo and team for being rockstars! Hospitality 5 out of 5 stars and food 6 out of 5 stars :). Your friends from Tahoe/Oakland will be back PS new location in a ghost kitchen so pick up from lobby where they bring the food down (we ordered straight from the website) and few outdoor tables to dine

Delicious Filipino food from some dedicated chefs! These pics are from my first order with them; it was all very good and extremely needed on a bad day. On my second order, I went to pick up in person and the people running this joint turned out to be so friendly! They gave me pointers when I confessed I was new to Filipino food, and appropriate containers had holes or were open to the air so crispy food didn't get soggy (like the lumpia!). My favorite so far is the sinigang--so rich with such depth of flavor, but not heavy. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying the rest of the menu.
