Tropical Hut - Parsippany

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.

Overall really good food. Have ordered catering trays a couple times and very little hasn’t been enjoyed by kids and adults. I just wish their online menu had descriptions of the multitude of dishes to make deciding easier. Googling every dish I’m unfamiliar with takes time and is inconvenient.

I love the pork skewers so much. Reminds me of my childhood in Florida with my Filipino relatives. The flan is my fav indulgence. All the chicken dishes are just as I grew up with, true Filipino comfort food. I am so happy I was able to bring my mom here before she passed and share with her the food she shared with me growing up as half Filipino.

The food is excellent and brings back fond memories from my childhood. They also have a nice selection of nostalgic snacks. I was delighted to find ube and pandan flavors available here as well.

The food was fresh and delicious. I particularly enjoyed the pancit and the crispy fried chicken!
