Fried pork!!!! I was visiting my folks nearby and told them I wanted Lechon Kawali (deep fried pork belly) so this is where they brought me. Located off the lobby of a Home Suite Home hotel in Kissimmee, the exterior is decorated with a thatch roof and bamboo and looks kind of cheesy. Enter through the hotel lobby and you'll find a very spacious dimly lit restaurant with several tables, a dance floor, and a bar. The place was pretty empty when we arrived for lunch and the hostess seated us right away. Turns out she is also the server, and probably the bartender too. We ordered a few San Migs and looked at the menu: an extensive selection of all the Filipino greatest hits. If you've never had Filipino food, consider it the original Asian fusion. Cantonese soy sauce meets Thai tamarind and coconut milk, meets Indonesian fish sauce and shrimp paste, meets Mexican adobo, meets Spanish porkophilia and lots of garlic. Everything is a la carte, and intended to be family style, so order a bunch and a few sides of rice. We started with Sinigang Na Hipon: a soup made with tangy tamarind and delicious head-on prawns (like Tom Yum Goong). It arrives at the table in a large iron kettle and we serve ourselves. We also got a pot of Kare-Kare, a rich stew flavored with ox tails, peanut sauce, eggplant, string beans, and fermented shrimp paste. Delicious as everything was, the lechon kawali was the only thing I wanted. It arrived sizzling fresh out of the deep fryer: thick strips of skin-on pork belly, deep fried until golden brown and rendered, skin blistered crisp, and chopped into bite size pieces. I ate a whole basket like it was popcorn, each piece surprisingly juicy with tender meat and super crunchy rind. As if that weren't enough, they do have dessert, including Halo-halo (shaved ice, flavored with ice cream, various tropical fruits, sweet beans, corn, and coconut.) However, for me, the pork was the beginning and the end. Until next time Nipa Hut. Masarap!

Didn't even eat. We were ignored by the waitress who was sweeping the karaoke stage. If she took the same care of the patrons as she was gently sweeping the stage they may have more business. Would give it a zero stars but the minimum is one star.

I am positive y'all gonna laugh at this. I found out about Nipa Hut on line and my good friend @droolius also talked about this place. I love ALL kinds of food. I ordered the Tapsilog. Go ahead and say it. It's a breakfast dish. I know I know. But it's so dang good at all times of the day. Best dinner I have had in years. My favorite part was the people inside singing Karaoke. Oh yeah!!
(4)Stephanie N.
Service was extremely slow & even a party who arrived after has got their drinks first. The food was ok. My fav was the sisig but they put too much onions that we had to request one w/ no onions. The sizzling fish was bland. But a dipping sauce solved the problem. Their lechon wasn't crispy enough, so make sure u ask for it extra crispy. The kare kare tasted too much of peanut butter. I probably would come back here just for the sisig, light on the onions.
(3)Lily T.
Refreshing to come across a Filipino restaurant in Orlando but I think House of Adobo in Winter Garden has better quality food. We ordered adobo chicken and tocilog and some lumpia. Prices are low = plus!
(3)Evelyn M.
We were visiting from Toronto/Maryland and thought of trying some Filipino food while in FL. I have been in better Filipino restaurants and so I wasn't blown away by their entrees. We went there for lunch and ordered Spring Rolls, Pancit Sotanghon and Lumpiang Sariwa which were all OK. However, I wasn't too crazy about their Pancit Malabon which I thought was lacking flavour and their Sago/Gulaman drink was blah. I think the price was reasonable and the serving size was ample. The place was clean, servers were friendly and the ambiance was passable. It's not great but it's OK.
(3)J R.
Been here twice - lunch and dinner. Enjoyed the food on both occasion. We'll be going back here when we visit Disney World area.

We have a timeshare here in Orlando and come back every two years or so. Every time we visit, we make it a point to eat at a Filipino restaurant in the area, but always find that the ones we visited two years prior have already been closed down. It's so disappointing! We found Nipa Hut through an internet search and decided to track it down. Luckily it's very close to our time share. We thought that it was a really smart move having a restaurant right below a hotel and feel that they will be more successful since it's a larger location, and in a less obscure location than the past other Filipino restaurants we've visited. They also have other events like dance competitions and karaoke nights that help with drawing in more business. We talked to one of the owners and she said she wanted to make Filipino food more accessible to not just Filipinos. The food was absolutely delicious-- everyone in my family can vouch for that. We ordered the bangus, sinigang, and sago. We had to wait a little bit longer, and some of the items on the menu were no longer available, but it was worth the wait. We ordered food from Nipa Hut for the second time during our stay, but found that it was just 'so-so' compared to the first time we went. Nipa Hut is reasonable price wise.
(4)Cathy Y.
No lie, everything I ate there was SO good. Probably one of the best Filipino food I've ever eaten (besides my family's) lol The young guy who helped take our order was super friendly. We ordered laing, adobo, lechon kawali, sariwang lumpia, & bicol express. Everything was seasoned perfectly! Not too salty & was full of flavor. I had halo halo while waiting & that was yum as well. The atmosphere was laid back. Reminded me of a restaurant in Philippines which made me miss home. Will definitely be trying to go back to try their other dishes before we go back home to Alaska.

Came to Orlando for a family vacation and we've missed Filipino food so we found this place and we weren't disappointed. Located in a hotel lobby, it wasn't that hard to find! We came right at opening so the service was great. We ordered immediately and the food came out rather quickly. We ordered: Tocilog - very good Adobo with rice combo - it was chicken adobo But the chicken was dry. The flavor would've been good if it weren't so dry Lechon Kawali - thinly sliced and crispy! Not as fatty or oily as common lechon kawali so it was easier to enjoy Sizzling Bangus - easily the best entree we ordered! Tons of flavor and good serving size with a good price. Overall, our experience here at Nipa Hut was great! Left with a full stomach ready to explore Orlando. Since it was our first time in Orlando, we didn't know what to do other than go to theme parks so we asked an employee. He gave us a list of suggestions! Very impressed with their customer service!
(4)Dianne G.
I am only gonna write comments about what we order... Sisig- way too much liver. So if you like the taste of liver, then it should work for you. Pancit malabon- the sauce taste ok. It lacks of toppings tho. Shanghai rolls- it taste like the frozen rolls that you get from the Filipino stores. Sizzling bangus- surprisingly good. Big portion of milkfish. Rice- it's a little dry. We stopped here while visiting Orlando since we're all craving for some Filipino food. It's a lil disappointing but I guess the food is just decent. About the waiting time that everybody was talking about, unfortunately, it's true. If you have a lot of time then I guess it's good to try it out for yourself.
(2)Juneli Z.
This is the second time I have been to Nipa Hut, and it did not disappoint! We had a table of 7. We started off with sago gulaman, pork egg rolls and calamari. 6 egg rolls came in 1 order. They were small, but tasty nonetheless. The calamari was ok, they used the rings rather that the whole squid which I am used to. The breeding was more like the breading used for mozzarella sticks. Our meal consisted of 2 pots of sinigang- ordered extra sour, sizzling sisig, boneless bangus, pinakbet, and a large order of pancit bihon (chicken and shrimp). We definitely had enough for 7, and a lot more leftover to bring home! If you want to order rice for a big group, just order the big bowl! We ordered 2, and it was wayyyy to much for 7 of us. For dessert we got our free halo halos which you can get when you make and show your yelp review. Plus an order of buko pandan and butchi butchi! Needless to say... WE ARE FULL AND SATISFIED!
(4)Enrica D.
Food is really good, serving portions are mostly good for 2 people. Clean place, friendly staff. I would've given it 5 stars if the wait is not toooo long. I came here 3 times during my week long vacation, that's how much I liked it.

It is a great Filipino restaurant where you can eat authentic filipino food. My favorite is the Halo-halo a dessert which contain of crushed ice with mixed fruits, beans with ice cream and leche flan on the top.
(5)Aldo F.
Interesting place, located in the lobby of sweet home suites. The place has somewhat of an identity crisis, when you first walk in you don't know if you are walking into a restaurants, bar, karaoke, clubhouse, party pavilion etc. We were excited to try Filipino food for the first time, but obviously had no idea what half the stuff on the menu was and to top it off our waitress spoke very poor English and was not helpful at all when trying to explain the dishes to us. We order a a few plates and appetizers, lechon Kawai which was pretty good, and some sort of spinach with sliced porked which were also good, though the spinach dish did not look appetizing but was in fact pretty good. I order a sisig which is a pork dish served in hot iron pan with an egg in the middle, onions and other ingredients but unfortunately I was pretty disappointed when I came to find out it was made with pigs ears and cheeks. I really didn't enjoy that, lots of chewiness and cartilage. I hate that stuff but if you're into it you would probably enjoy this dish. We also had the pancit, real thin noodles with chicken they were goooood!! The service; As I mentioned, our waitress barely spoke English and it was really hard for her to convey when asked questions about the menu. She also seemed to have very little experience or perhaps they whole crew in this place it's new to the restaurant world. Some entrees came before appetizers, the food came randomly at different times. They just didn't seem like they knew what they were doing. All in all i think the place has potential, maybe they should hire more experienced staff that can speak English fluently, that could be a plus. I think I'll be back in this place to try more dishes, hopefully They would have more helpful staff by then. Oh yea, almost forgot, the desserts suckkkkkk. So stick to the food and save your money on dessert.

Until there's a Philippines Showcase at Epcot...we have the Nipa hut. (Sort of.) As a local, I had driven by the Nipa hut sign for a year or two, marveling at the bamboo and thatched signage and thinking..."Is that some type of cool tiki bar that I'm missing out on?" I like Tiki Bars. It's not one. But it's still pretty awesome. The food is indeed delicious, especially the Adobo Chicken and fried pork belly. And we can't wait to go back to check out the 'breakfast' specials that run daily until 4pm. There are photos of the various dishes, and they all seem to come with a fried egg, hence the breakfast part I suppose. The interior is simple and tidy, and very clean. And there is an extensive stage and dance floor area, which makes me think there may be some rockin' Lea Salonga karaoke tribute every so often?

My family and I were looking forward to having dinner at this place. We even made reservations ahead of time (a week before we wanted to come in), and on the manager/owner(?)'s request ordered from the menu ahead of time as well. We were a large party so this was a great idea in order to avoid long waits. Well once we got there the total opposite happened- table wasn't ready and my cousin had to help the manager set up our table so we can all sit. The food was not ready either. I don't know if they happened to be under staffed that night, but we made the reservation A WEEK in advance and PRE-ORDERED OUR MEALS. How much easier could we have possibly made it for them? The food was mediocre. I was not impressed with the Pancit Malabon, it was very bland. The kare-kare was not as good as I expected. The lechon, I don't know maybe we all had high expectations for the lechon, was not very good. We were all very pleased with the sizzling boneless bangus though. I would give the food 3.5 stars, with the bangus making up most of those stars. What made me give this place 2 stars was the bad service considering the fact that we planned it very well and even worked with the manager to make it easy on everyone. Maybe they are not prepared to handle large parties yet, because I noticed that other events were going on that night too. When you have to; help set the table, chase down the servers, wait for them outside the kitchen door in hopes on catching one of them, bus your own table, stalk a staff member so your table can get some sauce for your lechon, have half of your party wave their hands crazily to get someone's attention because you need water, and stalk a staff member to get your check, it makes you think, "why hell we should have just stayed home and cooked". I really want this place to succeed, because I think it has great potential. The size of the venue is good and it really has a rustic Filipino feel. I just hope that they work on the service, maybe they are not ready to take on multiple large parties yet. Maybe if I had gone here with only 2 other people instead of 14 other people my experience would have been different. We don't have a lot of Filipino restaurants in the Orlando area so my family and I were really excited when this place opened. I hate to give this place a bad review but the service the night we went was just SO BAD. All in all I think this place is still WORTH TRYING OUT, but be aware that a large party is probably not ideal for this restaurant yet.
(2)Matt J.
Craving filipino food around Disney area? this is a good place to get genuine filipino dishes. We specially liked the kilawing kambing and pork sisig.I will definitely go back to this place the next time I'm around the area.
(4)Amado M.
Ordered garlic rice, kawali, & bulakak. All The food was excellently prepared and generously proportioned. Friendly staff that greet you as you walk in. TFC channel playing on the TV. The place is decorative to give it a filipino feel. They Sell Popular filipino baked goods.
(4)Christine H.
I don't know what Christopher P. is talking about in his review, but the food and the staff here are wonderful! The servers were attentive and friendly. The food tasted authentic and oh so delicious. I loved it and if I lived here in Orlando I'd totally be a regular!
(5)JJ P.
OMG! After driving & driving for a really long time (almost another hour from Cid's since they closed for the weekend), I was excited to find another Filipino restaurant & thought I could finally eat & relax. I did find it, didn't realize that it's in a hotel. It's a very nice place, beautiful interior, a bit loud with TV in the front & loud music in the background. Very authentic looking. Love the place! Food is OK. I ordered pork adobo - not much flavor ( taste actually old, not much sauce, no fat). Service is definitely lacking to say the least. One person for the entire restaurant. Next time I'll do BYOB or something while waiting.
(2)Michael G.
This place is so on and off with being a decent restaurant. One day it can be one of the best Filipino restaurants, and the next its a disappointment. I feel that the fact they are the only Filipino restaurant in the area is being exploited.
(2)Justin D.
Growing up as a Filipino American, my childhood consisted of eating hearty Filipino home- cooked meals, which to this day, are always my favorite cuisine. Filipino restaurants are a rarity in Florida, so hearing about one in Kissimmee was more than enough motivation to get me to visit. My second time eating here and the food is always great. However, I will only be reviewing the entrees I got the most recent visit. I have previously tried the kare kare, pancit bihon, and lechon. All were tasty! The latest I add to the Nipa Hut list are the sisig and halo halo. Sisig is cooked pork "niblets" with onions, scallions, and calamansi juice flavoring. It comes fresh and sizzling on a black pan, perfect to share with at most 3-4 people. No complaints with the taste and honestly it is my favorite sisig I have ever had. Light, filling, and flavorful with a zesty taste and subtle sweetness (calamansi). Halo halo is a staple Filipino dessert which consists of shaved ice, sweet condensed milk, ube ice cream, leche flan, jackfruit, gulamon, jellies, beans, and other random things (different places and people serve their own variations). I was not impressed with the halo halo, definitely not worth $5. The ice was not well shaven and still hard. Even stabbing repeatedly without getting the milk everywhere would not help so I just had to make do. The condensed milk was also not sweet at all so it served no purpose really other than having liquid everywhere. The flan (fun size) and the mango ice cream (one scoop) were all that I enjoyed. Usually ube ice cream is used but they were out. They also added corn which is uncommon but really up to the individuals personal preferences. Eating here family style and splitting up the bill with friends or family is the best way to go here. The items are portioned for family style and are priced that way as well. The items are overpriced for what portion you get it you are eating alone or just paying for what you order if with a group.Trying to eat here on a date with just one other person can make Nipa Hut an unexpected pricey visit, especially the fact that just rice for one person cost 75 cents. I noticed that many of the other reviews complained about the bad service and I have to agree. Of the two times I have been there, the service was slow, even when the place wasn't busy itself. I got my drinks the same time as I got my entree, which was more than 20 minutes. The waitress would also fail to check on us and it was hard to get her attention without wanting to be rude about it. In conclusion, come here with a good size party who are willing to split the bill. Be careful about the dessert options but expect good things from the entree choices. The food is pricey and don't expect great service.
(3)Rachel M.
First time dining here and in high hopes of the Filipino food! The sizzling sisig was very good, as well as the halo-halo I had for dessert. They do add corn to their halo-halo, which isn't the norm, but I found the sweet corn a delightful addition to the mixture. However, the service left me with more to be desired. The place was far from busy when I dined, but our waitress barely came around and we didn't receive our drinks until our entrees arrived.
(4)John W.
If you want to try authentic Filipino restaurants, Nipa Hut serves the best in Kissimmee and Orlando. Thank You Po for the hospitality, great service, and delicious dishes.
(5)Mayie C.
Really enjoyed our dinner here. Made my son so happy to find "almost home cooking" here in Orlando.
(5)Neal R.
My family prefers to stay true to their heritage: everywhere we go, we eat at one or two Filipino/Asian restaurants at least. There was a Filipino restaurant I can't help but assume we pass by every time we go to Orlando. We were finally able to try it out; it's called Nipa Hut, and it's worth trying out for authentic Filipino cuisine. Our family and friends were seated at a table seen as soon as you walk through to the door. Unfortunately, the table was directly underneath a fan, so we had to switch tables. Along with the staff being fluent in Tagalog (a major language dialect of the Philippines), they are also very caring and friendly towards their customers. The restaurant is nothing flashy, and it does not seat any more than about 80 customers, but you will feel very much at home with the people around you. The food served here is as authentic and tasty as you want Filipino cooking to be. Along with white rice, we also had pancit (thin noodles with meat and vegetables) and pancit palabon (thick white noodles with shrimp, boiled egg and shrimp sauce), chicharon, fish, sisig (fried pork, onion and egg) and barbecue. They all tasted great. However, I decided to leave out the shrimp from the palabon because I do not like shrimp. Desserts include ice cream and halo-halo (shaved ice with ice cream, leche flan, condensed milk, red beans and sweet corn), although I decided not to try the halo-halo. I suppose it's an acquired taste. The restaurant also serves traditional American foods such as hamburgers, spaghetti, chicken tenders and fries. The one thing that I can really complain about this place is that it does not have a diverse range customers. I would like to see customers other than Filipinos eating at this restaurant. I don't know how the restaurant can, but maybe it should find a way to appeal to these customers of other backgrounds. It's also right next to a hotel: I don't see why the hotel customers shouldn't try out this restaurants. Next time you go to Orlando, be on the lookout for Nipa Hut!
(4)Kathrine R.
Yummy Filipino Cuisine..We always dine here every time we go to Orlando... Very nice staff too.
(5)Justin D.
Filipino food near Disney! This is probably the only Filipino food in the area so if you come from the Philippines and miss that good old dish with some rice, this is the place for you. Price is reasonable. The food and atmosphere isn't an explosion in your mouth but it gets the job done especially if you haven't had a good pancit or sinigang in awhile. I would compare this restaurant to a low end version of maxs chicken. Only go here if you want Filipino food, if you want a great meal with a great environment there are other options around
(4)Jay J.
Pancit is good. Feels like home cooking. Will check out their breakfast sometime this week.
(4)Andrea T.
Since relocating here I think we've either dined here or ordered take out four or five times. The food is pretty good. We've had better and we've had worse. Items we've tried: Bangus: 5 stars, love it! Wouldn't dine here without ordering it! Lumpia Shanghai: 4/5 stars. We like our homemade lumpia more. We've also had better at our former favorite spot prior to relocating. I can say we have bought this for a party and it was a hit. The party size is reasonably priced as well. Pork Adobo: 4 stars. Great taste but small portion compared to the price. Pancit Bihon: 4/5 stars. It's really good. Has a well balanced amount of veggies too. Best ordered and eaten there because when it's fresh off the stove to the table, it's fantastic. Sigsig: 3 stars. The hubby is generally the only person that eats this and after ordering it twice here he said he would pass on it. It's not great, mediocre. I know we've tried other dishes but it's just not coming to mind right now. I wish they would make a beef caldereta instead of goat. If they did, we would be thrilled! Service: 2/3 stars. Unfortunately even three stars might be high. While dining there it was not so great. Borderline, really bad. It was not busy during our dine in times and therefore one would expect really attentive service. No, I don't want or expect someone coming back every 5 minutes. However, when they don't come back until they are flagged down makes for a not so great time. Especially when they are off in the back or chit chatting and you have to either go search for them or feel like you're interrupting them. However, when you do get their attention they are really friendly and have service with a smile. As for our take out orders, most have been successful with the exception of one incident when they said they would have an item ordered in advance and then called to cancel the scheduled pick up time. Overall this is the best Filipino food we've been able to find in the area so far.
(4)Ruby C.
If your craving for Filipino food, head on to Nipa Hut for authentic, delicious food. It's the only one we go to everytime we visit Orlando, it has a good atmosphere rhat reminds you of home in the Philippines. The saff are friendly, and good service.
(5)Gziel J.
The service and food were fast. Good food like how I remember it! We'll come back definitely!
(5)Daren M.
Great authentic Pinoy food in Orlando. SARAP! We ordered late-late, Bangus, lumpia Shanghi, garlic rice, and crispy pata. Lahat SARAP! Go!
(4)Kanitta S.
The food here is always good but my favorite dish is sizzling sisig. The lechon kawali was crispy and delishhhh!!! You have to dip it in the mang Tomas sauce. Yummm. My only complaint is the service is not good. Our appetizers and drinks came with our entrees. Ohhh wait don't forget to order halo halo. It's toooo die for!!!
(3)Pauline P.
Food is great! the sizzling Bangus was delicious! :) service was awesome. We also got lechon kawali and Tocino. Everything was yummy. We will come back again. And we got halo halo for dessert which was also yummy!!! We will definitely come back when we visit Orlando again..
(5)Shane F.
Anyone giving a 1 star review of this place shouldn't review anything else...ever...especially when historically your only good review is of a hotdog! Tocino is red because it's cured with annatto powder a natural food coloring. Ignorance shouldn't be allowed in a review and if you don't know then ask! anyway...the food here is exactly what I expect from a solid Filipino restaurant. Everything from the bicol express, sizzling sisig, papaitan, lechon kawali and pork bbq was executed very well. Tasty! and hit the spot perfectly. the staff is friendly and made sure we were happy satisfied customers. I'm not sure why people say the service is terrible. Maybe if you're ignored here it's because you are not a good human being. If I lived here I would come again and again!
(5)Renaud F.
Great place for filipino food. Great menu and amazing food. We ordered pork sanigong, bihon pancit,garlic fried rice, Lumpia, and pork bbq sticks. Attentive staff. We had Eddie and he did an awesome job of making sure we were enjoying our food. Entire staff was always checking around to ensure customers were getting excellent service. Will definitely come back. Make sure to have some avocado and ube ice cream.
(5)Liezyl L.
This is the best Filipino restaurant in Orlando, Florida!!! If you want to eat authentic filipino food this is the perfect place to go! Lechon kawali, crispy pata, sizzling sisig, pork sinigang, kare kare, name it they have it! I highly recommend this restaurant to all my friends!
(5)Jeanette M.
Nipa hut is located inside the Home Suite Home hotel. Our family dines here every time we go to Orlando before we head to Disney parks. The food is excellent with generous servings, prices are reasonable and affordable and the service is great! We feel at home with the staff talking to us in Tagalog. Our favorite dishes are pork sisig , laing, lumpiang shanghai and lechon kawali. Our children love their breakfast meals - longsilog and bangus silog. We definitely recommend this restaurant! So if you're craving for an authentic Filipino food come and dine here at Nipa Hut. It's definitely worth the trip!
(5)Elizabeth B.
The food was just ok. Not the best Filipino food I've had but not the worst. I like how they also sell snacks. Prices are good if you go between 11 am and 4 pm.
(3)Nikko M.
Horrible ass service. Took forever to take our order, and took forever to get the check. No check-up by the waitress, and got a pitcher of water with no cups.
(1)Lei F.
We ordered a lot of different dishes from here. The Kare-Kare was pretty good, and so is the sizzling sisig!! It was yummy. However, we also ordered laing, and it was mediocre. It had big pieces stuck together and too much juice oozing out without much flavor. I've had better laing. However, the WORST dish here is the CRISPY PATA! Do not get it!! It's overpriced for one thing. It was $30 for a medium size... THAT TASTED LIKE IT WAS RECYCLED! The pieces were already chopped up and seemed like it was re-deepfryed , thus it being too dry. A good quality crispy pata is deep fryed fresh and not chopped up into pieces! When you take the skin apart, it should be juicy! But when we tasted it, it was ALL fried throughout-- no juicy meats! Very very disappointed. For dessert or drinks, I don't suggest you get the sago at gulaman. It's only a little bit and with too much ice-- Not enough juice. Halo halo was good. The corn was a little different for my taste, but good enough if you're craving dessert! Overall, I give this place 2 stars. There was just a lot of things lacking.
(2)Dane Paul A.
Love this place! Authentic Filipino food, quality service and very representative of the Filipino culture: festive, hospitable, delicious! Mark was our server, very nice and attentive. Definitely a gem here in Florida.
(5)Charles S.
Quality of the food was fantastic! Very delicious and authentic! Would definitely come back again in the near future
(5)Sammie C.
The server walked us through the menu and helped me find something without oyster sauce. The chef even came out and confirmed the best way to make the Pancit for us. I really appreciated that. The Laing was amazing maybe on the saltier side for me but still really good. Will definitely come back here. Plus there were a lot of Filipino families eating around us--always a good sign.
(4)Ceejay R.
We are vacationing from CA and stumbled upon this restaurant thru yelp. My wife and sister in law are both Filipinas. With all of the 4-5 star reviews, we had to try it. The food was terrible. The calamari tastedlike it was poured out of a box and into the fryer. The Sinigang tasted too much like patis ( fish sauce )and no tamarind flavor. The pork bbq sticks were loaded with fat and covered in bbq sauce and the Kare Kare was runny and disgusting. I don't know where these 5 stars are coming from unless family members are giving the reviews. Stay away
(1)Kathryn W.
Authentic Filipino food. Really good! I had the chicken adobo and it tastes just like how my family makes it in the Philippines. Definitely coming back again!
(4)Arnold G.

Service was horrible. If you decide to eat here, do not get Mhae as your server. My family and I was there on 6/9/14 and when we asked for water all around, she said she would bring us a pitcher. And she did. That's it. A pitcher of water. How did she expect us to drink our water? There was a family that came in about 15 minutes after we did, and they received their food before we did. It took a while to track down our server as well. She never checked in on us and asked if we were doing ok. Nothing special about the food. We've had better FIlipino food elsewhere. We were from out of town and had a craving and it was the closest restaurant from our resort. We learned that in Florida, automatic gratuity was added for parties of 6 or more. I told the manager we were not going to pay the extra $11 for poor service and that there was no sign anywhere in the restaurant nor their menu about that. We are from California and I have seen signs for automatic gratuity for 8 or more posted at restaurants. The manager took out the gratuity and then told us it was our server's "third day" working there. Don't care if she's "new", it's common sense to bring your guest cups to drink from and to check on them. I think the manager was just saying things to defend her server. We were very unhappy. I'm pretty sure we will visit Disney World again in the future, but we wont be coming back here again.

It's literally on my top Authentic Filipino Restaurant list, the food is incredible and the staff is just beyond friendly. Not to mention their kareoke machine and stage! Definitely coming back here, and their decors are very festive I feel like I'm back at home!

Came here last year and I wasn't impressed but we tried again after a year and we ordered Crispy Pata, chicharon bulaklak, gulaman, garlic fried rice and calamansi juice. Not only was the food excellent so was the service! Yay Nipa Hut! Thanks for making it up. Will be back!

I just had to create a Yelp account, so that I could review this place! My sister and I were visiting Kissimmee about a week ago. We ventured out to find a place to grab some lunch, and all we could find were boring chain restaurants that we had back home in Chicago. Luckily, I spotted a little restaurant/bar on the side of the road that looked interesting and different. Neither of us had had Filipino food before, but we wanted something new, so we decided to dine here. I can't stress enough how great this place is! Our waiter was so incredibly helpful and insightful. I believe his name was Stan? Every recommendation that he made was better than the previous. The cooks catered to my sister's special dietary needs as well. I would go back here every day, just for the calamansi juice, garlic rice, and ube ice cream!! Though everything that we ordered was absolutely delicious! Some of the BEST SERVICE I've had, especially considering the fact that he was the only waiter. This is a must for any tourists visiting Orlando, looking for something new and exciting.

So glad Yelp turned me in the direction of Nipa Hut! I have never found a restaurant in the Orlando area that I can't wait to go back for! They are all just so mediocre and unoriginal, but Nipa Hut is so good it will be at the top of my list next time I head south!! We started with the lechon kawali - crispy fried braised pork belly. It came with a slightly sweet sauce and it was perfectly cooked. Not chewy at all, the fat was perfectly rendered and unctious and just GREAT! The portion for this 'appetizer' is huge, also! Great with their garlic rice (which you should get over the plain rice, it sounds like a small addition - the garlic - but it makes that rice much more than a vehicle for other food!!) We then had the milkfish, deboned and char broiled or something like that. Came out smoking like fajitas would at a mexican place. The sauce it was brushed with gave it great flavor. It was tender but not mushy, and perfectly cooked. So good with the garlic rice. I think anything is good with that rice, though. We finished with the Halo Halo for dessert which was a bit of a culture shock but that was part of the whole experience! It was tasty and the (corn?) ice cream was super tasty. Wish I could find that in a grocery store up here somewhere! The portions are huge, prices reasonable, and the flavors are great!! Can't wait to come back.

Visiting Orlando from California with my love who enjoyed the filipino dishes I've cooked for him made him think I was crazy wanting filipino food in Orlando but he changed his mind with the delicious food and personable service at Nipa Hut! Everything was brought out very quickly and our waitress was very sweet. Pork sinigan, pork adobo, garlic fried rice, sotanghon fresh mango juice and halo-halo were all delicious. Our waitress was very friendly and super sweet to even bring out my boyfriend's sunglasses he left on the table to our car. Only warning is prices were above average and be prepared for the post food comatose lol.

Wanting to eat some place outside the Disney resort, we decided to try one of the only Filipino restaurants in the area. A lot of the reviews of this place is surprisingly true. The restaurant is located in a hotel - a "Home Suite Home". The hotel looks a bit seedy and a far cry from the Disney hotel we were stayed at. The entrance to the restaurant is at the hotel lobby. Don't expect a friendly greeting here - both of the hotel receptionists didn't even bother to lift their heads to greet us when we entered, just stuck in the magazines they were reading. In contrast, the workers at the restaurant were actually friendly. We were seated promptly and our server was very nice and made a lot of suggestions. Unfortunately, a lot of the items on their menu were unavailable - which is weird because we were there for lunch. He said they were busy, but I only saw about three other tables with diners. The food that we did receive had mix results. Their fried lumpia and pancit needs improvement. But their pork sisig and chicken wings were actually pretty good. Garlic rice is the only option asides from plain white rice. And yes, as someone pointed out, it is a mixture between a restaurant, a bar, and a karaoke lounge. But a couple more people came in after us, so there must be something that draws people in. Another reviewer mentioned the waitress that didn't really have a grasp of the English language - she is real. If you're in the Disney World area and looking for Filipino food, I would give this place a try.

I can only pick one or two off the entire menu that will make me come back. Sorry to say the the food is just not well prepared! The Kare Kare only had 2 pieces of oxtail which was undercooked. I ordered chop suey and the veggies were overcooked with the sauce being watery. The crew need some etiquette training. They made us wait too long before taking our orders and to top it off our server made sure we tipped according to what she expected from us by encircling it fr the bill and counting the money right in front of us before taking our payment! That's disgusting and way out of line! Not recommending this place to my visitors. One reason why Filipino resto don't last in this town!

My meal; pork lumpia, bicol express (spicy) was outstanding and exactly what I wanted. Other members of my party were VERY disappointed with their meal. One friend says, the oxtails were undercooked and wouldn't touch another bite. So the food side is subjective at best. The service on the other hand, was horrifically bad. I had to interrupt the waitress from counting her tips and arranging her belongings in her purse, to get her to bring out the VERY first appetizer we ordered. ALL the other food for the adults came out before the kids meals came out. We had to remind the waitress to refill our drinks, bring us napkins and the check. I was very disappointed in the service we received. It was bad enough that I couldn't leave a tip. Food-8, Service-2.

First off, I have to say ratings are debunked mostly due to service as the few times I've been here it's been slow for them and even slower service in getting to my table. Last time (i.e. last week) I just went to the server area myself to get what condiments and napkins we needed. I felt pretty rude but there wasn't a server in sight and I notice my server tended to defect to my mother for everything since she ordered in Tagalog... HOWEVER--the food is good and portions are generous! If you can get over the consistently slow and sometimes all together lacking service you can indulge in the large portion orders for a cheap price. Sisig, Sinigang, lechon kawali, chicken adobo, and an order of pork eggrolls filled up our table and practically had our party of 3 rolling out the door. Authenic, flavorful, and at a good price for those in need of a Filipino food fix for both homey and easy to make as well as not so easy to make pinoy foods can enjoy it all here (after all I don't know about you but I don't keep a sisig hot plate in my pantry). All food comes out fresh and piping hot so please exercise caution on the innocent looking foods like eggrolls when taking that first bite. One thing to personally note for this last visit was they didn't seem to have an calamansi, which I feel is a huge component to a truly authentic meal but also is pivotal to understand that Calamansi blooms and bears fruit in the spring/summer seasons, so during this time of the year is overall a luxury item. Also if you come within time for the lunch special (which ends at 1:00 PM, not sure when it starts) you can get a huge meal for a great price!

On vacation here which means no home cooked meals. Just saying this place is perfect for that home sick mood. For the whole week we ate out, this was the best meal we had. We ordered so much food, from the dinuguan that was perfect, the sisig that was delicious, the goat kalgareta was totally new to me and I loved it, Kare Kare was so peanutty sooo good! The lechon kawalii was a little too overdone but it's not like I didn't eat it. You guys got thumbs up from New York!!

Service is very slow as they seem extremely understaffed. I've never had Filipino food before so I have to preface this review with the distinct possibility that I just don't like Filipino food. Maybe all Filipino cuisine tastes bad to me. I dunno. I'll have to try another restaurant. The bad: Strike 1: I ended up with a bottle of flat beer. Maybe that Beer Below Zero thing ain't as great as the weird marketing flyers you have on the table claim. Strike 2: The menu lacks description and is schilling shady Internet marketing scams. I don't want to buy your Moringa root cleanse. What the hell is Tocilog? It looks like raw meat and one of those microwave eggs they put on McMuffins. I shouldn't have to google Filipino food to figure out my order. Strike 3: The adobo pork was really really bad. It was at least half fatty gristle. The adobo sauce tastes distinctly similar to Dinty Moore beef stew. The rice was old and had congealed into a singular wad of firm mush. The bottom line is this is a hotel lobby restaurant. Those are rarely good. The staff is inattentive, the food is poor, and the atmosphere is non existent. Well barely existent. They did have a daytime Filipino talk show going on their television.

Was in Orlando in April and was looking for some Filipino food. Was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon Nipa Hut. We came for lunch during a week day. There were about four other tables there and one server. Despite being short staffed, our sever managed to tend to all the tables, get all the food out in a timely manner and exchange in pleasant conversation. He didn't rush anyone out, gave food suggestions and despite being the only server there, he kept a smile on his face! We ordered two different kinds of bangus, lechon, soup, garlic fried rice, Tapsilog. Everything tastes good, just like Mom's home cooking. The lechon was cut up nice and thin so you weren't eating a cube of just fat and it was crispy! Both types of Bangus had good flavor and my parents loved the soup. Tapsilog was also good. We also took some Goldilock's products to go. Great little place in a run down hotel. Great find. Prices are very reasonable. Minus a star because they needed another server, I felt so bad for ours so we made sure to leave a good tip, he deserved it!

Loved this place. Everyone is friendly and professional and the place is spacious and clean. We came an hour of it closing on a Friday night and guests kept coming in and being seated and served. The waiter was very prompt and informative on the menu and, even though I regularly eat Filipino food, I really enjoyed this place. We had the chicken adobo, the sinigang and the barbecue chicken. The portions are good for at least two people and sharing the dishes is half the fun. One downside is that rice needs to be ordered separately with your food. But! They make up for it with the fridges in the back full of Goldilocks products! Great food, good atmosphere, kinda thrown by it being attached to a hotel, but otherwise, a really great, family-friendly restaurant that's got TFC playing on the TV.

Great filipino food at Nipa Hut! Mark our server is awesome!very attentive to our needs. Food came out in a timely manner. Karekare is authentic. Crispy pata is to die for. Pancit is very flavorful. Sinigang is superb. Garlic fried rice and bbq pork with an ice cold red horse beer is amazing! They even sell goldilocks products! Great place to try!
(5)Luther B.
Food and service are great! But location: Thumbs down. Too pricey for their location. You would see creepy dudes passing by or sitting around staring at kids (looks like pedophiles) makes me nervous. They try to give high fives to my kids, trying to be nice but VERY suspicious!

Who would have thought in the middle of Disney central you would find this gem! Ok not gonna lie, this restaurant shares the entrance to the Home Suite Home extended stay....the "hotel" is VER sketch in all the weird and bad ways...but once you get over the initial shock and walk into the restaurant, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Since I have amazing filipino food here in NYC, I was a bit skeptical but we decided to give it a go anyway. I'm soooo happy we did. The flavors, seasonings and portions were all perfect. I also liked that they offered both plain white rice and their garlic fried rice, which is usually only offered during breakfast. They ran out of Crispy Pata, so had the lechon kawali instead. OMG the fried pork belly pieces just MELTED. Some places tend to over fry this amazing morsels of meat but this wasn't the case here. Moist meat, followed by a nice marbelling of fat and gelatin and then the light crispy skin under all that was just fantastic. Also ordered my staples: Chicken Adobo: Not sure is they use the entire bird because I got mostly wings but no matter very very good, Sinagang Na Baboy: the tamarind broth was refreshing and loved both the crisp and soft veggies, Pancit Bihon: The boiled egg slices were missing :( A little on the oily side but overall tasty, also ordered Pinkabet, they had run out of bitter melon and so they added some pumpin and still that was really well made and delicious. When I am back for yet another riveting round of Disney for my kids we will definitely be back to this restaurant!

True definition of a hole in the wall, at first I thought I was in Knockturn Alley. Located in a motel with Dementors circling the restaurant, eating at Nipa Hut is like competing in the 3 tasks of the Tri-Wizard Tournament: 1. Defeat a dragon - the lack of service 2. Fight Merpeople in the black lake - karaoke singers 3. Navigate the maze - bathrooms outside the restaurant When you complete these tasks, you will be a Tri-Wizard, Nipa Hut champion. There's no pumpkin juice, butter beer, pea soup or Bernie Botts every flavour beans, just delicious Filipino Food that would even satisfy the palates of Uncle Vernon and Dudley. It's rumored that Hermoine Granger herself taught the cook how to use the Ang Sarap potion to make the food delicious. Order the sisig, it will be the best food souvenir of your trip. Now if I could only apparate inside of Hogwarts, I'd eat at Nippa Hut once a week.

Initially thought it was Thai food because it shares the name of a well known Thai restaurant , its Filipino & very good at that. The restaurant is huge w bar, pool table, sports Tvs & dance floor , it recently opened according to the owner. I ordered their spicy Kalderetta Kambing w garlic rice. it was easily one of best I've tasted right up their w Leos BBQ in NJ. It wasn't greasy at all as many Filipino restaurants cook it, it was also sweet w the pineapple added, unique & very tasty touch. The owner Julie explained uniqueness of how this is cooked & the style of cooking it is. Food presentation was sophisticated. I also tried Kilawin (goat meat vinegar) which was definitely not my cup of tea. There are numerous other Filipino offerings which I intend to experiment with on my next visit.

Service was horrible. It took forever for the server to even glance at us! We ordered our main courses, then decided we want an appetizer so told the server that we want chicken wings for appetizer. After 45 minutes, our main course came so I asked what happened to our appetizer. She said it's being prepared. I told her that we asked for it as an appetizer and we were rudely told that we ordered the main course first and I responded that we told her we wanted appetizers so I asked her to cancel the appetizer and she said that we can't because we already ordered it and goes "Well do you want me to bring this back to the kitchen and wait for your appetizer?". I said never mind, we'll take it. After we were almost done with our food she said she can cancel the appetizer if we want. What the.......! The other table got their desserts before the main course. I'm never going back there.

We ordered a little bit of everything for pickup and were not pleased. Soggy sisig just isn't my style. I'd love to find a great place in the area, but this was just not it. I really love to give great ratings and think of myself quite generous when reviewing, perhaps I'm just really hungry for some delicious filipino food.
(2)Carrie J.
I read the poor reviews of this place but I decided to give it a try anyways. This is the worst Filipino food I have ever tried and also it is over priced for food that is not good. The food has no flavor and is not worth it.
(1)Anna L.
Good food and friendly staff! Lechon kawali is highly recommended! Kare-kare, sinigang and sizzling bangus are delicious too!
(5)Gail M.
My family and I decided to try Nippa Hut in Orlando after seeing some good reviews on yelp. Really glad that we did because the food was awesome, very easy to find. We tried their delicious kare kare, sisig and chicken adobo...all glorious!!! You should definitely check this place if you're craving Pinoy food. -from a family in NJ-

This place needs to improve on customer service. we were ignored as we walked in. we didn't know where to order to-go so we stood and waited until we decided to walk into the bar to ask if we can order food to-go. There was no smile or greeting, the person at the counter took our orders w/o pleasantries.. she made us pay right away and that was fine but I asked how much time will it take coz we will go take a walk, she said 20 min. that 20 min. turned into 1 hr and not an apology that the food took longer.. the restaurant was not even half filled. It was as if you owe them a favor for eating in their restaurant !!!

Visited the restaurant for the first time a week ago. My husband and I were very unhappy with both service and food. We pity the two servers who were overworked and clearly are not well trained with customer service. It took a while for us to get seated even when they saw us standing For some time. We had to grab one of them to give our order since no one would come take it. Then drinks and food came. Drinks tasted watered down (soda and coconut). The dishes were poorly prepared. We ordered 4 dishes and they were really horrible. Sisig was served in a not very hot hot plate so it was not cooked the way sisig should be. The pancit malabon was atrocious. I couldn't even eat more than my initial taste. The kare-kare was decent. There were a few pieces of tripe and mostly beef cuts but at least the veggies were freshly added. The BBQ my husband got was cold. He also asked for a drink refill but the server never came back. Pls improve on food quality. We'd really like more pinoy restaurants to succeed.
