I recently visited a restaurant in Springfield during a training trip, on the recommendation of a buddy of mine. Coming from Chicago, I was excited to try The Lumpia Truck, and this place did not disappoint. I had the “Dinuguan,” which was perfectly prepared—the vinegar was balanced just right, enhancing the rich flavors of the dish.
This spot truly feels like a hidden gem in the middle of Illinois. The prices were fair, and the atmosphere had an authentic Filipino vibe that made me feel right at home. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Lumpia House has become a staple of what I imagine when hearing the words “comfort food”. Whether ordering Lumpia (likened to thin egg rolls with meat and veggies), Longsilog (Filipono sausage with fried rice and sunny side up eggs), or Tofu Sisig (a spicy tofu dish with veggies piled in accompanied by rice), you cannot go wrong.
I’ve ordered at least seven or eight different entrees and none of them have disappointed. The Chicken Arroz Caldo is also immaculate.
If you’re looking for a beverage, any of their sizzlers (the Calamansi (Filipino Lime) is my favorite) quench thirst. Otherwise the Filipino Hot Chocolate is rich and flavorful, and the Kape Barako might be one of the best and strongest coffees I’ve had the pleasure of imbibing.
Simply put, the food is so good that I forget to take photos because I CANNOT wait to devour it. All my worries melt away here. Also there’s karaoke sometimes on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays which is cool.
Did I mention there’s free broth?

Lumpia House had and amazing Vegan Buffet last month. It was truly a great experience in all aspects. The food was flavorful and unique, the service was nice and not overwhelming, and the atmosphere was talkative enough to hold your own coversations, but not to the point of having to speak louder than usual.
Food : Everything was great but some stabdouts were a tangy vegetable dish, a stewed coconut milk/cream dish, and a tofu curry. We also were able to take home some dessert, I believe was called bilo bilo (10/10).
Service : Everyone working was kind and extremely helpful. Someone even helped me pack some bilo bilo to take home since I was having trouble holding the cups. They are attentive and are quick to ask if the food and service are satisfactory without being uncomfortable.
Atmosphere : The atmosphere was just right for me. I didn't have to raise my voice to converse at the table or while next to the buffet.
I would definitely recommend Lumpia House to anyone who's Vegan, Vegetarian, wanting to cut back on meat and/or dairy, enjoys Filipino cuisine, or wants to try new things.

My partner and I are doing the Route 66 starting in IL. So we were craving food and I saw that the town had a Filipino place? I was shocked to see that had really good reviews online. I’m Filipino and I live in the Bay Area and the Filipino restaurants There are below average so I had to see what this place was about. And it did not disappoint. We ordered the sisig and pork barbecue plate. Ordered on a kiosk, and it was delivered to our table. I was impressed by the large portions and the quality of the food was by far way better than the Bay Area, CA. Kudos to you guys and thank you for representing the Filipino community here in Illinois.
I’ve dined in and carried out several times. The hardest part about eating here is deciding what to order because I basically want everything but my stomach isn’t big enough, so I’ll have to make many return trips and hope to one day make my way through the entire menu. 😂 I love the variety, and the fact that they serve breakfast all day is a huge win for me. There are favorites for when you get that craving—like arroz caldo, lumpia, dinuguan, sisig, Bicol Express, pancit, and plenty of other dishes I still haven’t gotten around to trying. The drinks and desserts are just as good. The pandan and calamansi drinks are delicious. Mango and ube concoctions, halo-halo, and ensaymada are also available.
The staff are very kind, even helping me carry my takeout to the vehicle when I ran out of arms and hands (ordering too much, per usual). 🙂 The interior is homey, and the karaoke setup warmed my heart! The pricing is not too bad for the variety and quality. If you love Filipino food, give this place a try but be prepared to spend too much time staring at the menu trying to decide what you want.
