Lola Tining's Cuisine — filipino in Forest Park. Order the Egg Rolls. The kind of cooking that doesn't need to explain itself. Affordable. LaTifia Bryant: "The egg rolls were really good as well, but I didn't really like the crispy pork" [$]

“The food smells Amazing as soon as you walk in the door. I went for the Monggo Soup that can be a challenge to find, a high protein mung bean soup. Yet, have to say I wanted to take every dish available. The spicy spinach was delicious and should have super sized my order. The cooking and flavors are simply BOSS. I’m bringing my friends and for a taste and definitely recommend for you to pick up some of the best cooking.”

“Went here for the first time today (11/6/23). Was greeted by a lovely woman behind the counter. I told her it was my first time here, she was very patient with me. I think I've had filipino food once, so I wasn't all that familiar with the different dishes. I ordered some crispy pork, a combo plate with chicken/pork adobo, garlic rice and an order of eggrolls. The chicken adobo was my absolute favorite, the pork adobo was okay, the flavor was a little too strong for my liking. The egg rolls were really good as well, but I didn't really like the crispy pork. Overall the food is pretty good with big portions and great customer service. I will definitely be back, I want to try some of the other dishes they have.”

“I can’t believe I walked out of this store paying like I ate in a fancy restaurant. $75 for 10pcs longganisa x $2.50 each small piece!!!, 1order of liempo, she asked me if I wanted soup and so I said yes thinking it was for free, as is with other restaurants, to my surprise, She charged me with 1order of sinigang with little fish meat around $20++. That money would get me a long way with 2 trays of filipino food elsewhere. It is overpriced. Omg”

“Very authentic and trustworthy experience and proprietorship. If you are in the area it is your best option for both hot Filipino food and various sundries a la a convenience or corner store”
