Finally got around to trying Bright Light! Boston doesn't have many filipino spots, let alone filipino and jamaican fusion. You can already imagine how tasty the food is here. Bits of love and care in each bite from this ma and pop vibe shop. i got the oxtail stew, lechon, chicken wings and halo halo. it brought me back to the Philippines! would love to visit again soon.

A bright light to foodies like us!!! Rose and Uton are awesome and welcoming! The food is so good that we would drive a 100 miles from NH just to order them! Our favorites are: pork dinuguan, sisig (my son's fave), fried pompano fish or bangus, pancit lomi, Bicol express and of course, pork adobo! We also tried the jerk chicken which is also very tasty! The cassava cake is flavorful and super yummy! Love the bright and colorful Filipino and Jamaican decor and the warm ambiance of their place. Wish we live closer!

Yum!!! I've been wanting to try this place for awhile and so glad I was able to! We got the lechon kawali sisig and y tu he oxtail stew. Yummm. They were delicious. I've been having a hard time finding good oxtail but this place!! Yeah, I'd recommend it. I thought it was perfect honestly. The sisig wasn't as crunchy as I had hope but it was still really good and I'd recommend it still. We ended our meal with halo halo! It's not the best I've had but it was still really good! One thing I'd change is the container it comes in. It came in a cup but it was hard to eat. You had to work ya way down instead of being able to have all the ingredients at once. You order at the counter but there're tables to sit at so you can dine in or do takeout. There're no public restrooms. Overall, I'd recommend and I'd definitely return.

I was here for late diner, and I was so happy that I chose to eat at this place!!!!!! They offer Jamaica and Philipin food, so you are sure to have a wide selection of food here. The food was fresh, perfectly seasoning and very authentic. I am impressed with the ox tail and halo halo the most! There are no street parking or parking garage next to it, so you will need to walk a little bit (less than 1 min walk) to the restaurant, which is not bad after consuming great food. You can dine in or order to go at the counter, meaning it is a very casual restaurant. You can stop by at any time. The owners are the sweetest and down to earth people! They greet us with the brightest smile even tho we are dining in near closing time. I definitely feel like part of a community while eating here, very welcoming.

Heard great things about Bright Light and figured we had to try it out. Bright Light offers both Filipino and Jamaican dishes. You can get both jerk chicken & some lumpia & halo halo, in the same meal, how cool! We decided to do dine in to get the full experience & ordered some lumpia to start, bangus silog & lechon kawali sisig for entrees, and a halo halo for dessert. Lumpia: We ordered their Shanghai lumpia which are pork Filipino spring rolls. I have had homemade lumpia before, and I found these ones to be a little greasier than I would've like & wished that the rolls could've been served hot. They were warmish cold. Bangus Silog: We were a bit perplexed regarding this dish because we were unaware that the fish was supposed to be as dry as it was. I think if we had known, we wouldn't have ordered it because it was too dry for our liking. I think the sauce it was paired with definitely helped but the fish itself was also kind of bland. Garlic rice it came with wasn't bad. Lechon Kawali Sisig: Ordered this dish due to its popularity. This dish had great flavor & had a little kick to it. The pork was nice & crispy, as well as the peppers + onions. I would order this again. Halo-Halo: I loved this dessert. Very tasty and enjoyed all the different layers. Would get this again also. Overall, not the worst meal but I was a bit disappointed. Also, be prepared to wait. Takes a while for the food to come out. The worker at the register was nice & the cook (I think owner too) came out to greet + check on everyone who dined in , which I thought was sweet. Food reminded me of a home cooked meal. I think the food is expensive for what you get.

Wanted to stop in after recommendation from a buddy. We decided to grab some egg rolls, fried fish and crispy pork. Staff was super nice, they take your order at the counter and you can choose takeout or dine in at one of the tables in which staff will bring the food to, you. Our meal was about $61 tip included. First the flavor of the egg rolls had a vinegary dipping sauce and vinegary overall theme to most the dishes on the Filipino side. Wish the eggrolls were HOT, but they came out a bit like from the heater tray. The bangus fish (we didn't know the dish is basically dried fish that's fried). This dish using the sauce that comes with it is a must for me, or else it's just too dry for my taste, i should've probably researched it closer. The crispy pork dish was good, tasty hot and had a good flavor profile, paired with the garlic rice and we in business. The plantains reminded me of a baked potatoe in a sense. To end the meal we got the halo desert, enjoyed this a lot. It melded together and was yummy. The place got super busy after 7pm, we were the only ones but people started trickling in. Who i assume was the owner came out from the back to greet us but probably more so a group of regulars stopped in. Will try some of the jerk chicken next time around.

Had takeout from here recently and tried both the Filipino and Jamaican food, and it was a flavor party, so delicious! I love that this place has both cuisines since the owners are from both places - wife is Filipino and the husband is Jamaican. On the Filipino side, the standouts were the adobo chicken, pancit, lechon, and halo halo. The adobo sauce was so savory and packed with umami and a bit of spice and vinegar, I wish I had gotten more of this sauce on the side. Pancit rice noodles were some of the best I have tried, and the lechon (pork belly) was very crispy. Halo halo was a perfect sweet treat, each of layers and textures were fun to explore. We wanted lumpia too, but for some reason this wasn't on the takeout options, but we saw it on their menu on their site. On the Jamaican side, the curry goat was the favorite, and the meat was tender and flavorful. The jerk chicken had some great spice, but was a bit of the dry side. Sadly, they were out of the Jamaican beef patties when we ordered. It's not common to find Filipino and Jamaican food in the Boston area, and I will definitely return to the brick and mortar to try more food next time I'm in the south shore!

My family often frequented the former space here: JNJ Turo Turo. Since then, I've been to Bright Light a handful of times in the last few years and am finally writing a review. My partner and I got bicol express, plantains, and halo halo - TASTE: 4/5 - enjoyed the hint of spicy peppers in this bicol express. The plantains weren't at their peak ripeness, but still a good sweetness. Have always loved ube ice cream and the various sweets in halo halo TEXTURE: 4/5 - tasty & fatty pork belly in the bicol express. Plantains were cut thicker than I like, so not as crispy unfortunately. Shaved ice is the least satisfying part of halo halo, in my opinion, but the toppings and syrup made for nice contrast PRICE: 4/5 - total came to $36 SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - we weren't super hungry, so sharing the entree worked for us SERVICE: 4/5 - walked in at 5pm on a Sunday and glad we had the space to ourselves; I remember how packed and busy their grand opening was ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - small family-run space, w less than 20 seats, and Filipino and Jamaican touches PARKING: 4/5 - we're usually able to get a free street spot right in front on Water St. When that's taken, we resort to the tighter spots in the parking lot (Adams Ct) behind Bright Light

Let me start by saying, if I could go to this restaurant every single week, I would! This Filipino and Jamaican place in Quincy is a gem! Ever since coming here, I've been three times and have told all my friends about it. It's not a fusion place, which can be misleading. It's actually two separate menus: One Filipino menu and one Jamaican menu. It's owned by a couple who are... you guessed it! Filipina and Jamaican! I love it here. Food: We got the Crispy Pork, Pork Sisig, Jerk Chicken, and Halo Halo for dessert. The Crispy Pork had an insane texture. It was super crunchy and the skin was crackling perfectly but the meat happened to be tender still! The Sisig blew me away. The peppers, onions, lemon, and the pork blended together seamlessly. I've had this dish 3 times on its own. The jerk chicken was a little disappointing because it was dry but the spices were delicious. The Halo Halo was probably the best I've ever had. There was a good amount of all the ingredients and not one flavor was overpowering. It was so refreshing! Ambiance: The interior is very casual and comfortable. The owners and staff are very friendly and I could tell they knew their community! Price: We got all three dishes and the dessert for around $60. Talk about a bargain! We were so full and even had a full plate of leftovers! The only bad thing about this restaurant is that I don't live closer to it! If you are ever in the Quincy area, you must go here!

Been wanting to try this family-ran hidden (perhaps not so hidden!) gem in Quincy for a while now! Bright Light is a Filipino and Jamaican restaurant that appears unassuming but is filled with delicious home-cooked-style meals. The restaurant is a bit smaller, so many people were coming in to pick up their takeout orders. Although small, it is welcoming and cozy with a few tables. We ordered at the counter and sat down as they brought the food to us. We paid in cash (for a small discount) after we finished eating. This was my first time having Filipino food so we got some classic staples: Pork Adobo, Pancit Bihon, and of course, Halo Halo. The Pork Adobo was very soft and had a tangy vinegary flavor to it. It's similar to caramelized pork belly but not as sweet. The Pork Adobo was delicious when paired with rice. The Pancit Bihon came with Lechon and their Lechon was amazing! The Lechon was crispy yet not too salty and the tender rice noodles and vegetables of Pancit Bihon complemented the flavorful Lechon. My favorite part of the meal was dessert -- the Halo Halo. The Ube Ice Cream was so creamy and packed with Ube flavor. I loved the drizzled condensed milk on top and how yummy yet refreshing the entire dessert was. There was banana, jackfruit, coconut, nata de coco, and jelly all over shaved ice with beans at the bottom. Overall, I would recommend coming here! Definitely stop by and support this small family-owned local business. I'll be coming back to try their Jamaican food next!
