Very nice atmosphere at this place. It's a combi of Kiwi-Pinoy experience. Those who hasnt been to the Philippines, please try to dine at this restaurant. It will bring you the experience of being in Manila. The food was great! Their pork bbq was devine, tender, and juicy. Their halo-halo taste so good, and their palabok brings me back the childhood memory of my favorite food. Food was beautifully presented (see photos). I missed taking photos of the rest of the food we ordered. This restaurant definitely improved so much from the first time we were here a few years ago. Excellent service, very friendly owner and lovely staff, great filipino food. Jeepney Filipino Restaurant deserved 5 stars Highly recommended dining here when you're in Auckland. We'll certainly come back for more.

Amazing service but they need to have at least 1 more staff. The lone guy was doing everything from serving, seating, cleaning, tab check-out and more. Food was delicious and served hot! Their Sinigang bulalo is one of the better ones we’ve had! Their pork lumpia, wow! The biggest fail for me was the Bistek. Why did you guys make this awfully sweet?!?! No! Texture was great but why sweet?! But still really loved the rest of our meal. The Chicken Inasal had great flavor!

Good location in CBD, easily accessible from the main road. We ordered variety of food ranging from pork bbq, sisig, chopseuy and crinkles for dessert. Taste wise, it’s good. The service and ambiance is average though. It was cold outside and we asked for a heater or if they can close the windows, but both haven’t been accommodated. So the whole time we’re freezing

I miss Filipino food, so I visited Jeepney Filipino Restaurant for the first time. The food really made me feel at home. The atmosphere was nice, with Filipino songs playing in the background. The open windows brought in a cool breeze, though it felt a bit too cold for this season. The service was average and the staff didn’t really smile.

I was working next door on a job and the smells wafting up the street from this place enticed me in for lunch. I've not had much experience with Filipino cuisine so I asked the lovely guy behind the counter what he would recommend. I ended up with the crispy binagoongang and it was one of THE BEST pork dishes I've ever had. Outstanding dish! Pork was tender and crispy and delicious! Thanks guys! Im looking forward to coming back again for dinner soon.
