good and friendly service and nice food would probably return so would recommend to friends and family nice and friendly staff and very helpful and smiling
We had a great waiter who wanted us to understand what was on the menu before ordering, excellent service, good wine and fantastic food. I highly recommend it.
Very friendly and helpful staff but unfortunately the food did not come up to our expectations and the wine offerings at the lower price end were appalling.
Excellent meal, with great company. I'm married to a Filipino and neither of us knew Josaphines existed. We will definitely be returning again. Truly authentic food, give it a try!
A lovely meal and very pleasant staff - and a free short guide to holidaying in the Phillipines as an extra (while stocks last I suspect). If there are two of you, go for their set menu which is excellent value. Even for one with drinks, I paid less than £25, including service charge. So good value too for Central London.
Overall food was average but service was poor. Waited over 15mins everytime someone from our group ordered a coffee. The waitresses didnt even know what food they were bringing out. Expecting people to know by the look of the food. When I myself have never had Philippino food before So didnt have a clue. They are very popular and were filled to capacity so maybe it was just an off day when we went. But staff kept telling us they didnt have enough glasses and whem we asked for more milk for the coffees we were asked....is that not enough. It was a small cup of milk for two coffees and a dark hot chocolate. We also had soup poured over 2 of us and we even helped to clean it up. But the soup wasnt reserved. We were just given that bowl. If it wasnt for the people we were with it wouldnt have been an enjoyable night.
My second time eating at this restaurant and I was delighted! Delicious filipino food and a good price! Nice decor and atmosphere. Definitely willl come back again.
I first found Josephine's Restaurant last year when I was in London for work. I'm half Filipino and miss good food like my lola would make. So craving that deliciousness, I found Josephine's and was not disappointed. Best Filipino food I've had outside the islands. So this time I found myself with the ability to take an overnight layover in London on the way home from Malta and did not hesitate. I arranged an overnight in London specifically so I could eat dinner at Josephine's, and again, I was not disappointed. Their Adobo is heavenly. The lumpia is fresh and crunchy, just like lola's. The leche flan was sweet and because I couldn't decide, I got a piece of Cassava for take-away that I enjoyed once I got back to my hotel. Their food is completely authentic, well prepared and presented and absolutely delicious. My only complaint is that the non-Filipino wait staff seemed overwhelmed or confused at times. I even had to show two of them how to use the credit card machine for a non-chip-and-pin card (Sadly, most American cards still don't use Chip and Pin). But other than that hiccough, once again I had a great experience and you can be sure that the next time I'm in London, Josephine's will be serving me dinner again.
Lovely food and friendly service. It was our 2nd visit and we'll definitely go again.
Very nice food, reasonable prices, attentive staff. I would definitely recommend to other people, particularly if they hadn't tried Filipino cuisine before. The Guinataan Isda (Fish in Coconut sauce) was especially tasty, as was the Kare-kareng.
Love it here. Love it here. Reminds me of my mom's home cooking and the staff is very nice and personable. I recommend to eat here. Bill

A really nice friendly restaurant with excellent food and service. Would definitely go again 😊
Bad and slow customer service, tasteless and dry food served barely warm, expensive and not worth the money. I will definitely not go back to this place.
Epic food! Would definitely recommend. Service is very good and the portion sizes are huge. Winner!
Very pleasant evening. Waiter was really nice and helpful. Food was tasty - we went with his recommendations.Restaurant was empty when we first went in so a little worrying but soon filled up and was what we hoped. Would be happy to revisit
It was OK, but not the best. The service was poor. The starter was chewy. The main dishes were fine. So over all its OK
Amazing food. Great service and very relaxing ambience. Will definitely coming back
Really friendly staff, great food, my other half is from Manilla so the standard expected was set high! Overall great value for money. Already planning our next visit
Food avg, service slow! And in the end quite pricey fir what we had .. I wouldn't go back!
Really tasty. Service was great, our waiter was really helpful and polite.
The sisig should be crispy and served with egg but it wasn't
Excellent food & service, great atmosphere, would recommend to everyone.
Overall customer service at a fairly high standard, main dishes came at a suitable rate and the food was of a good standard however the dessert we ordered (Cassava CAke) came with mould all over it. Upon telling the waiter he acknowledged it but did not apologise and offered a free dessert. Bemused that he did not apologise we assumed that he would apologise as we left but alas he did not. We will not be returning to this restaurant due to this experience.
Food was lovely, staff were very friendly! It was a great time!
Excellent food and fantastic service, I couldn't fault it. Can't wait to go back!
Small place, tasteless food and overprised for what you get.
Fish was lovely, service was very nice! Really liked the decor and ambiance. Would recommend.
Lovely food, excellent service, nothing to much trouble, would go back again
Being Filipino-American, it's like having a home cooked meal. Highly recommended!
The food was really not good, not fresh or lovely prepared. A Shame as staff, mostly, are very pleasant.
Such a great view with a nice food for sure.
Fantastic service. Very friendly staff. It's not posh but it is a lovely place to have a nice evening with friends.
