The Lumpia Company

Oakland, CA

“The Lumpia Company revolutionized Filipino food in the Bay Area by elevating the humble lumpia into a culinary art form, co-founded by food entrepreneur Alex Retodo and backed by legendary Bay Area rapper E-40. Since 2015, this innovative restaurant has expanded from a single location to multiple Bay Area outposts, demonstrating the mainstream appeal of creative Filipino cuisine. The Lumpia Company specializes in handcrafted lumpia-Filipino deep-fried spring rolls-offering both traditional favorites and fusion-inspired creations that push culinary boundaries. Their bestselling Bacon Cheeseburger Lumpia wraps ground beef, smoked bacon, and cheddar cheese in crispy lumpia wrapper, served with signature "moo moo" sauce combining banana ketchup, mayo, and relish. Traditional offerings include Pork & Shrimp Shanghai and Chicken Tinola Lumpia, while creative variations feature street corn, kale and mushroom, and even dessert lumpias like Peach Mango Cobbler. The Oakland Brooklyn Basin flagship location offers full restaurant service with craft beer selection, arcade games, outdoor seating, and a vibrant atmosphere perfect for watching sports or gathering with friends. Beyond lumpia, the menu includes BBQ chicken skewers, adobo seasoned wings, rice plates, and Filipino-inspired sides. The Lumpia Company's success story represents the evolution of Filipino food from niche ethnic cuisine to celebrated mainstream offering, proving that Filipino flavors can compete in the fast-casual dining market. With locations throughout the Bay Area, partnerships at Oracle Park Stadium, and frozen take-home options, The Lumpia Company has become a recognized brand that introduces Filipino food to diverse audiences while maintaining the authentic flavors that Filipino-Americans love.”
