Turo Turo - Filipino Bar & GrillB+Worth Trying

102 Tooting High St, London SW17 0RR · Filipino restaurant, Caterer, Southeast Asian restaurant · 4.5/5 Google (312 reviews)

Reservations · Delivery · Takeout · Outdoor seating

Lively Filipino spot in Tooting delivering flavorful crowd-pleasers like sisig and ginger-bagoong wings, with creative twists, energetic vibes, and occasional service and value inconsistencies.

Why it gets a B+ for overall quality

Turo Turo delivers solid neighborhood dining with strong food quality highlighted by inventive dishes like ginger-bagoong wings and sisig, though consistency shows quality variation across visits and menu items. The lively, group-friendly atmosphere with karaoke and boodle fights creates genuine appeal, but tight seating and noise limit comfort, while service pacing wavers during busy periods. Competitive with the area's better neighborhood restaurants, though modest portions and occasional temperature inconsistencies prevent grade A-level standing.

Restaurant Summary

Step into a slice of Tooting that feels warm and bustling, where karaoke pops up between tables and platters arrive to cheers. Servers often guide first‑timers through the menu, and one guest noted the room felt like a "friendly neighborhood hangout" even when the playlist ran loud. However, expect lively energy rather than hushed conversations. The cooking leans Filipino comfort with inventive twists: sticky ginger‑bagoong wings, sizzling sisig, and a croquette riff on kare‑kare with peanut sauce. When the kitchen is on, flavors are vibrant and plating is sharp; a few diners found seasoning or temperature uneven on busy nights. The boodle fight is a joyful, hands-on feast for groups, though a la carte portions can feel modest for the price. Families will find accessible staples like grilled chicken, noodles, and rice, plus sweet finishes like halo‑halo and turon. Noise and tight tables can be challenging for little ones, but ordering simple skewers, fried rice, and spring rolls helps. There is no clear kids menu, so plan to share dishes and aim for earlier, quieter hours.
