The dish was very ordinary . Dessert was not that fantastic , ube cake was old and staled . Very disappointed actually . Filipino fast food in Blacktown station called Fiesta is much much better . They should swap location .

The Food was inedible. I Will not go back there again and I will not be recommending it to anyone. The food wasn't freshly made.

Very nice food, service reminded of eating places in Cebu. Overall nice to see many Philipinno families eating there. My fiancee said the pork dish was authentic in flavour.

This was our 2nd visit to this restaurant since stumbling across it on a visit to Sydney in January. We decided to celebrate Valentine's Day here as my fiancé is Filipino and I came to enjoy Crispy Pata (which is their signature dish) in the Philippines. Although the service was a bit slow and the atmosphere is a bit low key the food was great!

Amazing food with very authentic vibe. Service is a little bit slow though buy nothing than the good food cannot make you forget. Will definitely come back. Chicken in coconut milk and arroz valenciana the stars of the menu.

Waited over an hour to be served anything not even drinks and only received food after we threatened to walk out! The food when it came in dribs and drabs was NOT worth it. Never again. Do not go to this shambolic eatery.

Good authentic Philippines cuisine in the cbd. Good service. Not too pricey. Not a fine dining but can't argue with the price. Will go again.

The only thing I would order again is the crispy pork leg and the squid and the stuffed fish. The kare kare didn't have enough peanut butter and the sauce wasn't thick enough and had ingredients which are not authentic. The pinakbet wasn't anything like the original Ilokano pinakbet. The same as the ukoy - it had mainly carrots and not shrimps. The original recipe has no carrots.

Issues: We were the first to arrive, but it took 45-50 minutes til we got our food. Portion sizes are small with respect to the prices. Pros: Delicious, authentic Filipino food. Recommend the Lechon and Kare-kare.

Excellent food. Brought us back to the Philippines. We even got a complimentary Birthday Leche Flan with candles for my son. And very fast service too, considering the dishes we ordered.

I took a Philippines national there to see what she would make of it. We were not disappointed...A little hard to find on the first floor, but great location and good sized place for a meal and conversation. However, they may need to look at the acoustics, as when the place filled up, it became a little difficult to talk. Food was excellent and made to traditional Philippines method. Can't wait to go back there for some of there chicken in coconut milk. Not too pricey but I would be looking for a discount for a big group. Mabuhay!

I have been spoiled by some wonderful, home-cooked, Filipino food, and while not as good, LaMesa serves up some tasty, authentic dishes. Would happily recommend.
