Tropical Hut

"absolutely the best food ive ever had in my life, every dish is so heavenly my eyes water whenever I take a bite like I'm so serious that flan is the best tasting thing I've ever had in my life and its the absolute perfect consistency, it completely melts in your mouth"

"Good filipino food in Parsippany area. Traditional food and always alot of Filipinos there, that's how you know it's legit. Combo is also the best deal, rice/pancit with two entrees and a drink, best deal in town."

"Great food, tastes just like my childhood and a good handful of nostalgic snacks too. I was able to find ube and pan Dan flavoring here as well"

"The place is clean and staff is very friendly. The food is presented well. I should have asked to sample the food before ordering. I ordered, lechon kawali and 2 combo meals with pancit. beef caldereta, chicken teriyaki, sisig, and chayote.Also ordered turon. The pancit is too soft, strong peppery taste and overcooked. The pancit spoiled the taste of the other dishes. I had to get back in line to order white rice hoping the pancit was the problem. With the white rice it did not matter. The lechon kawali is dry and overcooked. All the other dishes are not good at all. Fortunately the turons were perfectly cooked; crisp, moist, not oily and not too sweet. For this visit the and the food selected I am giving this place 2-3 stars."

"I’m glad I finally stopped in here. I will say that the portions are enormous and the prices are very budget friendly so you get a lot of bang for your comfort food buck here. My dad is Filiipino so I developed a taste for this country’s incredible cuisine at an early age. Some dishes I won’t eat simply because of the ingredients but most Filipino dishes are fair game for me. I got a combo meal for under $9 (includes a drink!) and they are so generous with the sides that they put them in separate containers as opposed to squeezing them into the compartments of the the takeout styrofoam containers! I had lunch for two days for the price of one! I ordered pancit (noodles), a veggie side made with squash and long beans in coconut milk which I believe is called Ginataang Kalabasa, and pork belly. The pork was very flavorful and a real treat! I would love it if the dishes here were labeled so that it would be easier to make selections. The set up is no-nonsense cafeteria style and as I mentioned, they are very generous with portions. Filipinos are never stingy with portions! I remember growing up going to family parties where the supply of food was limitless. Having had the opportunity to travel abroad to the Philippines years ago, I was met with the same hospitality! I’d like to go back to Tropical Hut and try more dishes. The Philippines is a country comprised of a vast number of islands and regions, and the food is a distinct reflection of this variety. The food is also a unique product of the country’s significant Chinese and Spanish histories. There is also a Malay-Indonesian history, among other ethno-linguistic groups. Latin and Asian fusion is ever present in Filipino food. This restaurant caters also! Maybe that’s where all the lumpia (Filipino version of egg roll) went because they didn’t have any! Darn! Well, until next time!"
