Certified Philly’s - Salinas (CA)

5 /5 Anthony Prodis: Amazing Filipino/Hawaiian food... the best in Salinas and probably all of Monterey County. Our party of 6 enjoyed the Vegetable Fried Rice, Lumpia, Garlic Prawns, Garlic Noodles, Poke, Seared Salmon Poke, House Salad and Garlic Lemon Pepper Wings. Feels like we ordered the entire menu, as we had plenty left to take home! Hard to choose a favorite, but it had to be both of the Poke dishes and the Wings. So much flavor. Add a couple Modelos into the mix, and you have a great way to spend a Saturday evening meal with the family.

5 /5 Margot Ramos: Couldn’t find a place to stay in Monterrey and decided to relocate to Salinas. Found this place opened by a Culinary Institute of America alumni and what a Wao! Experience ! The tostadas were an outburst of flavors and a fine example of fusion cuisine. A foodie can tell the professional touch : the layers of seaweed , spicy tuna and the roasted topping with the coriander sprouting, an OMG!

5 /5 Ronan: Super generous portions, friendly staff, and delicious food. Shrimp fried rice was some of the best Ive had. Highly recommend

5 /5 Tony Woo: Went in the middle of the week, and I must say 5/5, 10/10, the best dining experience Ive had in Salinas. I was greeted, and an order was taken by a gentleman named Michael. He was a delight in every sense of the word. He was attentive the entire visit, had amazing suggestions on the prawns, and what dish to pair them with, all while being highly energetic & efficient. Great staff in front of the house. The owner/operator came out and introduced himself to me, Chef Philly, it was such a pleasure to have the owner introduce himself after indulging, in what I would call, the "best food in town." I ordered poke, garlic prawns with half rice and half noodles and a charred ahi tostada. I must say Ive never experienced such an exquisite blend of flavors in one meal. Outstanding service, amazing food, will be back indefinitely!
