“Maharlika Restaurant stands as a beloved institution in Fremont's Filipino community, operated by a sweet Filipino couple since the early 1990s and famous for their top-secret family recipe broasted chicken. Located at 3671 Thornton Ave, this cash-only, takeout-focused establishment has become legendary for their pressure-fried chicken served in family packs (10-30 pieces) and party packs (35-100 pieces) that have been the staple at Bay Area Filipino gatherings for over three decades. The restaurant also excels at traditional Filipino dishes like lumpia Shanghai (available in 100-piece trays for $45), pancit palabok, chicken adobo, and menudo, all prepared with authentic home-cooking methods. Operating limited hours (Thursday-Friday 3-7pm, Saturday 12-6pm, Sunday 12-5pm), Maharlika requires planning ahead, with customers often needing to visit in person to order as phone service can be challenging. Despite the modest setup, this hole-in-the-wall gem delivers exceptional quality at unbeatable prices, earning it deep respect and loyalty within the Fremont Filipino community.”
