Russ Fam Kitchen | Our Story

From Our Family Kitchen To Yours
Russ Fam Kitchen operates out of an Exxon on Hillside Blvd — proof that the best food doesn't need a fancy address, just a family that knows how to cook.

The Empanada You Can't Find Elsewhere
Our crispy, orange-shelled empanada packed with savory longanisa is a Filipino classic that's nearly impossible to find anywhere else in the Bay Area. It's one of the standouts that keeps regulars coming back for a taste of home.
Daly City, Filipino Capital
Daly City is widely celebrated as the Filipino capital of the U.S., and Russ Fam Kitchen sits at the heart of that community — a touchstone for neighbors who grew up on this food.

The Gas Station Kitchen
The Exxon address isn't a quirk to overlook — it's part of who we are. Regulars follow the smell of fried lumpia and golden empanada dough straight to the back corner.

A Taste Of Home
Guests talk about the Filipino scramble the way people talk about their grandmother's cooking. Every order leaves this kitchen made with the care you'd give someone you love.
