Having been with my Filipino girlfriend for 2 years this was the first time we had eaten Filipino food whilst out. Having tried 2 years worth of Filipino home cooking I was expecting something of at least the same standard...I was left disappointed. The staff were friendly enough which was the guise for "Were going to rip you off". We ordered fresh lumpia, Kare Kareng Manok (Chicken in peanut sauce), Rice, Lechon Baboy (Crispy Pork), Buko Pie (Coconut Pie), 1xSan Miguel Spanish, 1xRed Horse, 1xSprite. The Lumpia: Warm and quite bland, not much taste too it.Kare Kareng Manok: Not too bad, but not fantastic. Not up to the home cooking standard, I feel I could do it better having never made it before.Rice: Straight out of the rice cooker where it had been all day, it was dry and quite frankly rubbish.Lechon Baboy: Quite tasty, not a bad dish. Although, the accompanying sauce was very bland though.Buko Pie: Bad! Microwaved! Parts were warm, parts were cold. This is a southern dessert made nothing like they make it in the south...disgusting.Beers: £4.95 each.... enough said.Sprite: £2.60...for a can!!!!!Total cost: £50.45!!!The food here is of a quality not even found in the Manilla slums. However I'm sure this food finances Josephine's massive mansion in the Philippines...it is waaaay over priced for cheap rubbish. Our Score: -0/10We will NEVER eat in here again. Fortunately, it hasn't put me off Filipino food completely.

I’m a regular diner at Josephine’s and had dinner there yesterday. Was going through their menu and they’ve got a surprising good amount of seafood dishes available.

We like to holiday in the South of France and although it is a Filipino restaurant, the mixed seafood dish we had reminded us of when we holidayed in the south of France.

It was a mixture of fresh muscles, prawns and other assorted seafood, gloriously covered in oyster sauce.

We also went for the spicy stuffed crab shell along with the creamy coconut. We eat lots of seafood, given that we holiday a lot in the South of France, and happily devoured the dishes placed in front of us.

The crab meat drenched in coconut sauce was tender and fluffy, with the crabmeat taste mixed with cream, ginger and bits of coconut strands intermingled amongst the meat.

The other crab dish we had was indeed spicy and infused with what tasted like it was cooked in red wine and peppers to give it a sweet, but sharp taste in between bites.

For an oriental restaurant, there’s actually a lot of southern European flavours. Some of the dishes actually tasted like they were from a “Pacific / European fusion” restaurant.

We talked to the waitresses about this and they said there was actually a lot of Spanish influence within the dishes.

If you like a different take on traditional oriental food, then try this place, a lot of the dishes are a little similar to traditional Thai and Chinese, except, much different.

I can’t really describe it, the flavours, as tend to have a real range to them. Really subtle and some with some really distinctive flavours.

For great Filipino food that’s been recommended by top chef Jason Atherton, Gordon Ramsay’s Executive Chef for Maze Restaurant, has had Manny Paquiao (before training camp for his fight with Ricky Hatton) and numerous other Filipino celebrities dine there, this is an

Having had authentic Filipino food, I was disappointed with this standard of food in this place and it has no atmosphere.

For those willing to tolerate blandness in search of Filipino inspired food.

Just been paid so excited about having a decent meal with my partner. Sadly we walked past Josephines and decided to go in - big mistake! The restaurant is quaint enough and the staff are friendly, though speak very little english.Ordered starters which turned up glutenous and in various coloured gravy.

The chicken satay was of the likes I've never seen before and hopefully never again, some sort of bisto mix was used instead of peanut sauce which was a novel approach. The battered prawns were incernerated and had paper attached to the bottom of one.

The chicken wings were slimy and highly offensive.Mains continued on the bisto gravy theme with chicken in a 'local sauce'. The chicken was sliced in large jenga blocks and chewy to the core.

The rice dish had hardened chicken slices which was another over cooked surprise. To top it all off it cost £45 with only one glass of wine and a beer!Feel like I've been bummed! Cheers Josephine!

We had a great meal at Josephine's , the staff were really friendly and helped us pick some really delicious food like the chicken adobo and chicken cashew nut, as well as the crispy pork. We washed it all down with a lovely rose! Yum!

We've been going to Josephines Restaurant for the past year and a half and we've always recieved a warm reception from the staff. The food is delicious, the place is friendly and cosy and we have throughly enjoy our visits to Josephines Filipino.

All in all a good place we like to retreat to on the weekends

First impressions of Josephine's Filipino were terrible. Our last impressions were even worse. The toilet’s carpet was dirty. The walls were cracked and in poor condition. Josephine must have painted over the cracks herself. An amateur job. Once safely within the toilet, I noticed the dirt around the sink. Josephine - buy a bottle of Flash forgodsake.



Once nestled at the table, I noticed stains on the paper cloth. The waitress at Josephine’s Filipino was very charming and did a good job. The food was okay. Not the best but I was hungry. For desert I wanted Ube, but they only had ube ice cream, so I declined. At the end of our meal the waitress wiped clean our paper cloth. I thought they would throw it in the bin.

I went to Josephine's Filipino last week with a friend and I thought the food was delicous. We shared two starters, one large vegetable spring roll and the prawn ribosado. For main, we both love fish, so we picked the sea bass with lemon which was cooked to perfection and not too heavy, decent portions too as a main. Feeling piggy we decided to try two different desserts, I had the coconut pie and my friend had the casva cake which is like sweet potato and purple yam tasting ice cream. We both had a very enjoyable time at Josephine's Filipino, the staff were charming and very welcoming. Highly recommend this place.

Not sure where the last reviewer is coming from, but I have to say that Josephines was the worst restaurant I have eaten at for a long while. The service at Josephine's Filipino, to be fair, was ok, however the food quite frankly was awful. For starters we had the spring rolls and tempura prawns, the batter on the prawns was so dark and greasy that you just know that it was cooked in oil that has been reused more than should be acceptable. I ordered a traditional south sea sauce chicken dish whilst my girlfriend ordered a chicken in coconut sauce, my dish came with about half the amount of chicken than my partners and both dishes were over cooked. The sauce in both was so bland that we sent them back after just a bite. The punchline is that Josephine's Filipino still tried to charge us for these dishes. All in all avoid!!!!!

We had a very good meal at a very reasonable price at Josephine's Filipino restaurant. If you choose to have an exotic experience this restaurant will be a good choice. You will not get a posh meal in luxury surroundings but instead a range of very nice traditional Filipino dishes in a very comfortable atmosphere. The service was excellent. I can without doubt recommend Josephine's Filipino restaurant.

I discovered Josephine's back in 2002 on a business trip. As a Filipino American it was great to find a small restaurant that served good Filipino food, with better than average service. The prices were about what I expected given I was in London so no sticker shock per se.
