PAMPANGA’S CUISINE Home of the Original Sisig

Servers are pretty rude/unwelcoming. They never have the heat on during cold months so you’re shivering with your hood on while eating. Food is not as good as the Joyce station location. It’s hit or miss most days. Some days it’s great. Other days it’s bland or waaayyy too salty and oily.

Go to the Joyce Station location… food and service is always 5 star there.

The vibe was so cozy and welcoming, feels like im back in the Philippines in a karinderya. The food was amazing it was really authentic kapampangan cuisine and the staff were really welcoming and friendly. Same as the first location on Joyce St.

Good tasting food. Their food is well seasoned and noted saltier for some taste buds. The sisig is great! Will eat here again.

Food was great and tasty. My daughter liked their sinigang, friend and I enjoyed their calderetta, all paired with rice. She said it tasted like home, similar to flavors from Uganda. I liked their halo-halo, except for the taho slushy flavor can be better and less artificial overly sweet tasting. Service is great but can improve on consistency. I've been there a few times, halo-halo wasn't made the same way as my on my second and third visit. Ingredients and toppings were layered on the first visit making it extra tasty for their PC Special. Second visit, I waited an extra 5 minutes for a second, different flavored halo-halo. Depending on how busy it is, tables are not always customer ready. Cafeteria style restaurant, quaint.

We had lunch her today because one of my friends told me that this ia where she had the best Kaldereta ever. All of us ordered combo 2s and tasted all from each one's food. 2 of us chose adobong pusit and it was so salty it tasted almost like fermented shrimp. Most of the dishes we had were too oily. The Bopis was so dissapointing. Bicol express was ok but it was covered in a soup of oil. Caldereta was acceptable and my friend said that it was better when she had it before.

Re: Pampanga’s Cuisine, 6094 Fraser Street Vancouver RUDE EMPLOYEE I’ve been to Pampanga’s Cuisine on Fraser Street a couple of times before, and honestly, I found the food not that great for the price—it’s quite pricey for a small restaurant. My friends wanted to try it for the first time, so we went together, even though we are used to going to much more decent and expensive restaurants. Our group often enjoys bigger, pricier restaurants, but we also like to support smaller, newer places from time to time. My friend and I ordered first, paid, and sat at a table. While waiting, I overheard a very unpleasant incident at the counter involving my two other friends. The owner’s son, who was working there, raised his voice at an employee who had tried to fairly divide the last bit of food in the tray between their two small containers. Instead of handling it politely, he loudly told my friends that since they were already given a senior discount (just $1), they should not be served that size of a dish – they probably got an extra small piece of meat?. Shockingly, he then took the food that was already on their plates and dumped it back into the serving tray used for other customers—something I found extremely unsanitary. The way it happened, in front of everyone during a busy lunch hour, made my friends look as though they were begging for extra food, which was humiliating and unnecessary. We even tried to confront him afterward to explain that his behavior was wrong—no one should humiliate customers or employees—but he completely denied doing anything wrong. The food here might be okay for some, but the prices don’t match the quality, and the customer service—especially the rudeness and arrogance from the owner’s son—was unprofessional and very disappointing. In the end, we just left and went across the street to a much better Filipino restaurant.

Twice we've come recently for the tapas and the sisig and we've been told they've run out or they're too busy? What's the point of having it on the menu if you can't order it!

The food here is not bad, but it's not worth it due to the very unwelcoming energy of the place and the staff being disrespectful to the customers. I know some days can be tough, but at least be polite when asked politely by a polite customer.

Suggestion : If you guys are in a group, do yourselves a favor and just go across the street at Pinpin where you get treated kindly.

I don’t usually give a perfect 5-star rating unless a restaurant truly exceeds my expectations, and this one did just that. The food is excellent, especially the sisig-it’s hands down the best I’ve had in Vancouver. On top of that, the service was outstanding. The woman who served me was incredibly accommodating and sweet. I believe she’s the one who always wears earrings-she really made the experience enjoyable. I hope you hire more people like her!
I’ve also visited the other PC location near Joyce Station, but this one is by far my favorite. The staff there weren’t as friendly or helpful when I asked about the menu, so this location definitely stands out.
The atmosphere here is calm and relaxing, perfect for a meal. The only downside is that it can get pretty hot, especially in the summer. I’d love to see more fans added to make it more comfortable.

So many missing items and portions are small! The bulalo soup was literally just broth no meat no veggies. My buko pandan and Lumpia were missing but were still charged! I tried calling the restaurant multiple times but no answer and voicemail is full. I messaged DoorDash regarding the missing buko pandan and Lumpia and the driver reassured me that the delivery bag was not opened (it was stapled). Fortunately Door Dash refunded me the cost for the two missing and charged items. They ran out of palabok also despite it being on the menu - this was not charged. Would not recommend ordering delivery from here!!!!

RUDE CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM THE STAFFS ESPECIALLY FROM THE TOMBOY AND ANTIE NA SHORT HAIR SA CASHIER, DEFINITELY RUINED OUR APPETITE.

Ordered food to go. First time customer and quite disappointed. You don’t cook Adobong Pusit like this, you should take the PEN out. It’s not only lazy but shows whoever is working in the kitchen doesn’t like their job at all. Do better, it’s so easy to take them out.

Hit or miss. Some of the items we chose, laing, beef soup, pancit, were very salty. We ended up not finishing those dishes, and left them on the table.

We would like to see more vegetable offerings.

If there’s no lineup, service is fine, but if there’s a lineup, service can be very very slow.
