Manila Sunset

Specialties

Manila Sunset specializes in a few but unique and hard-​to-​find Filipino delicacies, such as Bibingkang Galapong (soft spongy cake made from ground rice, eggs, and milk, topped with white cheese, butter, and sugar sprinkles, and served with grated coconut) and Puto Bumbong (made from ground purple sticky rice, steamed in bamboo tubes, and topped with grated coconut, butter, and sugar), which are traditionally found in Philippine church plazas and roadside stalls only during the Christmas Season. Pancit Malabon (rice noodles with our own special Manila Sunset sauce) is topped with shrimp, eggs, pork cracklings, toasted garlic, and vegetables). This is a traditional Filipino delicacy prepared from an original well-​guarded recipe from the fishing village of Malabon. Bibingkang Galapong, Puto Bumbong, and Pancit Malabon are all gluten-​free and wheat-​free. Other Manila Sunset specialties are Filipino barbecue (meat or seafood bbq), lumpia (pork or vegetarian), chicken adobo, and halo-​halo

History

Established in 1985.

Featured in 2012 on Bay Area TV stations CBS5 and CW44, Manila Sunset is a family-​owned restaurant business that has been in existence for over 25 years. When the original Manila Sunset Restaurant opened on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, California, in 1985, its limited menu was originally intended for Filipinos in America who have missed traditional Filipino home-​cooking for a long time. Soon, it gained the attention and approval not only of Filipino-​Americans but also of other nationalities comprising the diverse communities of California. You can now enjoy Manila Sunset food in 9 different cities including Concord, California. The other locations are in Las Vegas, Nevada, and in California: Los Angeles, West Covina, Cerritos, Rancho Cucamonga, National City, Mira Mesa, and North Hills (San Fernando Valley).
