The Bay Area is home to one of the largest Filipino populations in the United States, and it shows on every menu. San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood is home to SoMa Pilipinas, the city's officially recognized Filipino Cultural Heritage District, while just south of the city, nearly a third of Daly City's residents trace their roots to the Philippines — earning it the nickname "Little Manila." Together with Filipino kitchens in Oakland and beyond, the region serves everything from comforting home-style turo-turo to modern, chef-driven tasting menus.
