Whilma's Filipino Restaurant - Searcy, Arkansas

Best egg rolls we have had in years. Friendly wait staff. Short wait for food to be cooked. Great flavors. My wife requested the #1 heat and was happy. I requested the #4 heat. It was spicy, but not overly hot for me.

YALL ARE SLEEPIN ON THIS PLACE FR. Absolutely delicious food!! I got the tapsilog and the beef was so tender and juicy. Obviously can’t go without getting the pork lumpia as well, so yummy. I got my food to go but the inside of the restaurant is so clean and has great vibes. The person who helped me with my order, winter, was so kind! My partner usually gets the adobo chicken and it’s his favorite. Highly recommend this place!!

I order the chicken guisado almost every time I come thru Searcy. It is SO good! The spring rolls are really good too! The new location is such a big improvement and much deserved! (The rice comes plain I added soy sauce to mine)

Amazing food and even better atmosphere.
I can't stress this enough, come hungry! Big portions and it's so good you might hurt yourself haha.
Thankfully they also have a to-go option.
They are moving to a new location that will be even bigger and have more options.
This is a must stop for the Searcy area.

Our family were on our way back to Atlanta from Branson and found this restaurant on the way. Having tasted many homemade Filipinos food in Atlanta and tried many restaurants in Atlanta and Honolulu, which are known for high quality of food, Whilma’s definitely amazed us. We stopped by after lunch rush so the restaurant were emptied BUT the server were attentive and the food were amazing! We ordered hot tea, pork lumpia (best one we ever had), siopao (warm and delicious..not too sweet like some we’ve had at others), Pork Adobo (good and not too sweet like other’s), Tapsilog (just amazing), Pork Sinigan (the best we’ve ever had….Just the right spice and the authentic tamarind sauce can be taste by the fragrant). While we were already full, we also tried the fried banana and the Halo Halo for dessert. Fried banana is good (the banana was a bit ripe), Halo Halo is good (could have more fruit) BUT the green dried sticky rice flakes added surprise taste. Not sure if we will ever get to stop by again but we hope our review will bring Whilma’s more business from passerby travelers who happens to stumble through Searcy. Thank you for the amazing experience for our family. Thank you for all that you do to bring a piece of the Philippine to Searcy and definitely the effort of endless drive to far away cities to purchase ingredients to make the dishes for your customers. Paalam ?

The food was really good but they lied about their Siapao!

I asked if they were all handmade from flour and he said yes but obviously you can tell it's machine made!

I like the food here but I will not come back anymore because of their dishonesty!

I heard many good things about this place and today I personally found out why! The staff interaction was professional, informative, and pleasant.

The food was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. I sampled a few dishes and will definitely return to eat my way through the menu.

From start to finish, a satisfying glimpse into Filippino cuisine.

Thos is a nice, comfortable place to enjoy Filipino comfort food. 🙂

Tapsilog was AMAZING!!! The beef was tender and it went perfectly well with the garlic rice and egg. I wasn't a fan of the pork lumpia, as it was dry. This dish was a bit pricey than most Filipino restaurants in Texas, but it was still good and filling.

Guisado with chicken with rice was ok. I also ordered Turon for dessert and it was tasty and fried perfectly!
