I had a sudden craving for lugaw so me and my wife decided to have a midnight snack in this joint. The place was ok for a "lugawan". I ordered their best seller pilugaw and it didn't disappoint. It was really tasty especially when coupled with chili garlic sauce. Their tokwa't baboy though was just ordinary. Their pricing was quite stiff. For one order of pilugaw, tokwa't baboy and one coke in can, we shelled out around P295.00. Nevertheless, got what I came for...a full tummy.👍🏼😁 No complaints here. Hehe!

This place is nice, better than their old location. Lugaw (plain) is good. Thick and full of flavor, add patis to complete it. Aleta which is a deepfried thin liempo is a good appetizer.They have set meals and affordable. Good sinigang. Kare kare is overpowered by the peanut butter but ok.Fatima (staff) is nice and courteous. She recommended items to try too.

We've been going here circa the old branch days. I'm really happy they moved and got a slick new resto! It's beautiful!Good quiet lunch on a lenten Friday and there were about 2-3 tables occupied. We ordered the basic lugaw. Hot and tasty as always! The top layer was malabnaw and you had to dig in to get to the thicker layer, which is what I really like about lugaw. The tripe was a gulity pleasure on a lenten Friday.The calamares was fine! The squid was soft and the breading was a bit thick. Good mix with the sauce. Classic comfort food.We ordered pancit malabon. It was good for 2-3 people, and I was excited about it. I was unfortunately left underwhelmed. It wasn't as flavorful as I expected. It had too much of a fishy taste and the noodles fell apart. Had to squeeze a lot of calamansi on it to make up.All in all, it was a good experience. The lugaw is always a good choice. Would have ordered halo halo or something cold but my companion was sick. So many good choices on the menu; can't wait to try the others!

I have always been a fan of the old lugawan at Timog, I was greatly disappointed why is my gotohell not spicy at all??!!?? Please bring back the original recipe please 😭😭

I love the food, we ordered basic lugaw with extra quail egg, crispy tokwat baboy, crispy okoy and breaded porkchop. Everything was yummy! Made the sick little me happy.But what really irked me was the service. You know service will be bad when the first two dishes served were wrong. It took 30 minutes for our breaded porkchop to be served, that my husband was already full from eating the other food, and I was already done eating! Good food and good place cannot quite compensate for very poor service.

Since its raining the whole week plus a bad flu lastweek, been craving for something that will make me feel good and comfy... Lugaws on my mind to keep me warm, and Lugawan Republic's GotoHell came up to my mind! With its spicy flavor, it will give the "hot" feeling and eventually declogged my nostrils! 😂😂😂 Go for the Pilugaw if your not fond of spicy lugaw (it has bits of siling labuyo) and enjoy it with chicharon and quail eggs! Your lugaw will not be complete without the Tokwat Baboy so better order one too! Got amazed coz the pork they served is so crispy and tasty! Yummmy! Cravings satisfied and worth the travel in a Rainy night! 😋👍🏼

There are times when the most simple food could give you the greatest satisfaction. It was what I felt the first time I went to Lugawan Republic. I could not believe it was the first time I tried their food and I have to admit I was a bit ashamed of myself since I've lived in QC my entire life. But it's never too late to try new food and find new favorite spots. I can't wait to be back to satisfy my pilugaw craving!

Lugawan Republic gives its diners the opportunity to customize each steaming bowl of this classic Pinoy comfort food. Who says the lowly lugaw is limited to chicken or boiled egg? Why can't we have beef with our lugaw? Or century egg? Or mushrooms? My personal favorite is chicken and pork adobo.While not as inexpensive as the typical local hole-in-the-wall gotohan, I feel it is still good value for money. The basic lugaw will set you back 60 pesos, and the chicken and pork adobo add-ons will cost you 40 pesos each.Lugawan Republic is open pretty much round the clock, which is a boon to early morning people like myself.

Lugawan Republic's Pilugaw is a hearty sticky bowl of rice and assorted mix ins. It reminds me of pancit luglog because of the orange color and the noodles. Loved the bowl and the comforting familiar feeling that this dish brings.The Crispy Tofu was ok but the sauce wasn't to our liking so we requested for vinegar and soy sauce which tasted like Crispy Pata sauce!The servers weren't attentive and sadly their service water tasted like Sago Gulaman.I'm sure we'll be back for the Pilugaw especially since all 4 of us downed one bowl each.

How nice it is to have found this lugawan in the midst of the gimik area of Morato. We tried their specialty, the Pilogaw and we weren't disappointed. The lugaw is orange in color (like palabok-orange color) and upon scooping, you'll notice some thin noodles! Amazing! First time to tried lugaw with pansit sotanghon. And it was gewd! :)There are a lot of variety toppings for this comfort food. Just experiment the way you dress up your lugaw. After all, it's all about enjoying this one-of-a-kind comfort.
