If you haven't tried Filipino food, you MUST visit this gem! The kindest staff and wonderful service. Very accommodating and extremely hospitable! Got to stop and speak to the owner on the way out. Food is 10/10 ! Plenty of parking out front and four large tables to eat inside the clean establishment . Staff provided a heater on the cold day we stopped by. The lumpia was fresh and delicious. The Lechon Kawali meal was crispy and deep fried to perfection. The pork rib sinigang was perfect for the chilly weather that day, and so flavorful. The pinakbet with lechon was tasted like I was back home in Philippines eating from my Lola's kitchen . Each meal comes With either steamed white or garlic rice. They offer carry out and catering services. Please support local business and give them a try. You won't regret it !

I've never had much Filipino food but this was certainly tasty!! I recently saw a food blogger rave about this restaurant so I wanted to check it out! I decided to get the lumpia, bbq chicken meal, and James' special pancit bihon. All items were really tasty but my favorite was definitely the James' special pancit bihon. Service was friendly and dishes came out fast. If you choose to dine inside, there are a few tables here. For the most part, I noticed most people came in for carry out.

My first foray into Filipino cuisine! My son and fellow *Yelpster suggested James Fiesta Grill for Friday lunch. We have neighbors of Filipino descent familiar with James, so we decided "what the heck?" I don't how many establishments cater to this group and am only familiar with one in business long ago who was in a lengthy legal battle with a large Japanese media company who just happened to have the same name as the lady who ran the place downtown. James is on the ground level of a shopping center bordering Joan Ave, Willow Oak and Amuskai Rd. Aesthetically, James is a dive; simply furnished with few tables. The crew running the joint are cheerful and a joy to work with. Now to the food: we started with the Lumpia Shanghai- small egg rolls. Smaller even than spring rolls. These were served with James' special sauce. They were very good! My son ordered James' Special Pancit Behon consisting of stir fried rice noodles mixed with fish cake, pork, chicken and veggies topped with crispy lechon kawali aka deep fried pork belly. Very yummy, claims my son. I sampled the belly and it ate like pork rinds. Food here is amply seasoned but son decided to drizzle his dish with Sriracha Sauce for a little heat. Yours truly opted for Pancit Canton Supreme- another noodle dish but with stir fried egg noodles with some veggies, shrimp, pork and chicken mixed in. Very tasty!! Both of us finished our entrees as we saw what a Filipino family at the table next to ours ordered. A treasure trove of deliciousness, I say! What can I say? Pleased to have partaken in and enjoyed another cuisine of an ethnic group contributing to the greatness of our nation! My son and I both commend James' Fiesta Grill to one and all. Though indoor seating is limited, this place does a great carryout business! Try it!

James Fiesta Grill has been our favorite place to order Filipino food for parties. They use fresh ingredients and their recipes cater to a larger palate. Today we decided to eat in and though it was lunch time, service was quick. Interiors are nothing fancy, very down-to-earth.

I found this place on Yelp and immediately wanted to try it out. We got there about 10-15 minutes before they closed, all the chairs were up but they were very nice about us placing our to-go order. Definitely try the Filipino lemonade...tastes like a cutie (the fruit). Soo delicious! We also ordered lumpia which was extremely tasty, and came with the dipping sauce. And then we had the BBQ pork on a stick, which was juicy and extremely flavorful! Everything was incredible! Can't wait to go again!!
