About Filipino Food Week

Our Story

Filipino Food Week (FFW) is an annual celebration of Filipino cuisine held across the Hawaiian islands. This initiative showcases the rich culinary heritage of the Philippines through special Filipino dishes offered at participating restaurants throughout Hawaii.

What began as a small gathering of chefs and food enthusiasts has grown into a statewide celebration that highlights the vibrant flavors, diverse techniques, and unique ingredients of Filipino cooking.

2025 Special Edition

In commemoration of the 75th year of the establishment of the bilateral relations between the Philippines and the United States, this year's Filipino Food Week shall focus on the ways Filipino cuisine has enriched Hawaii's culinary landscape.

Restaurants across the State will be offering special Filipino dishes that combine both Filipino and Hawaiian influences, creating a unique fusion that represents the strong cultural ties between the two regions.

How It Works

From June 6-12, 2025, diners can visit any of the participating restaurants across Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island to enjoy special Filipino-Hawaiian fusion dishes created specifically for this event.

In addition to the restaurant offerings, Filipino Food Week features cooking demonstrations, cultural performances, and the Pusong Filipinx Market, where attendees can shop for Filipino food and other Philippine-inspired products.
