Manila Inasal began in 2020 as a heartfelt response to the pandemic, when Chef Natalia Moran and her siblings cooked from their home in San Juan for frontline workers. That small act of love grew into a beloved restaurant in Manila - then in 2023, a new chapter opened in Los Angeles.

A popular and groundbreaking wine bar from two of L.A.’s most celebrated restaurateurs is set to close this summer. On Saturday the Lucques Group’s Suzanne Goin and Caroline Styne announced they will shutter the Brentwood location of A.O.C. on Aug. 1, ending their run of 16 years in the space.
Ah, Silver Lake. The golden hills of the trendy people. There’s a reservoir that you absolutely can’t (nor should) swim in, boutiques where you can buy vintage Italian sunglasses, and coffee shops that smell like Aesop soap. Silver Lake will always have its fans and haters—and its New York transplants—but everyone can agree that it’s home to a high density of fantastic restaurants. Here are the ones you should be eating at.
Before opening their restaurant, the family behind Manila Inasal ran a catering business delivering trays of grilled meat, lumpia, and sisig to birthdays and baptisms. The party is still alive and well.
When restaurants open, we check them out. This means that we subject our stomachs and social lives to the good, the bad, and more often than not, the perfectly fine. And every once in a while, a new spot makes us feel like Angelyne driving her convertible down Santa Monica Boulevard. When that happens, we add it here, to the Hit List.
Manila Inasal, a locally grown food service, offers a distinctive take on Bacolod’s traditional grilled barbecue dishes. Their menu includes a variety of garlic fried rice bowls such as chicken tocino and lechon belly, along with family-style inasal meals featuring whole chicken and bangus. Their popular grilled items are served with their signature inasal sauce and cucumber salad.
Manila Inasal is going international to bring Filipinos around the world comfort food at its finest. Chef Natalia Moran started the brand as a home business in San Juan City back in 2020. She teamed up with her siblings Bella and Enrique to have home-cooked meals delivered straight from her kitchen.
Ah, the curious case of pandemic brands. Takeout- and delivery-oriented concepts and brands boomed during the time of COVID, but the question always remained: what then once pandemic restrictions ease up?
This Filipino restaurant truly delivers on flavor, value, and hospitality. Everyone was incredibly friendly and attentive. I ordered the crab tortang talong and the grilled bangus inasal both were incredible. The ube mochi brownie were so good, definitely coming back soon.
Great new Filipino restaurant in Los Angeles with live music. Their chicken inasal and garlic fried rice are flavorful but not salty. Just delish! Their bibingka dessert is a must-try. The owners are friendly and welcoming, and the service is topnotch! Great atmosphere with a positive vibe. We will definitely come back!
Awesome Filipino restaurant! Food here was phenomenal!!! Need to come back again…and again…and again!!!
