We went to the Anaheim branch for food tasting. All the food served were delicious. If you want to experience a fusion of traditional and modern Filipino cuisine, visit this place.

Food was delicious! We had a brunch platter that included various foods. Chicken adobo, longanisa, and tocino, where my favorite. Beef tapa was ok but others were better. Eggs and garlic rice were typical. Overall, everything had a sweet flavor profile. For drinks, we tried ube horchata and filipino mango juice, which were great.
We also had a filipino beer flight that included:
Kalinga Calamansi Pilsner - Brewyard Beer Company Pandan Pilsner - Brewyard Beer Company Manila Mango Hazy IPA - Engkanto Brewery Paint Me Purple Ube Lager - Engkanto Brewery
They were all good, but my favorite was the green, Pandan Pilsner. The ube one was good but I prefer Ogopogo's ube beer.
They had other dishes I wanted to try so I plan to come back and try the others.

We were looking for lunch heading out of the Disney area. My wife found this gem, very close to the Angels stadium. They serve elevated Filipino food, something that is not common. The food was terrific. I had the pictured adobo bowl. My wife and kids all had something different and they were all delicious. They also have a juice menu that was great. The menu also included alcoholic drinks, which we didn't get. They also showed better service than Disney, as they were busy but asked my daughter what she wanted to watch on the TV. They also saw that it was my daughter's birthday and without prompting, at the end of our meal, the staff all sang happy birthday with a candle and Nutella pancakes. That is attention to detail and just caring about your customers. We will let others know about this place and be back when we're in the area

Linked to a scammer that’s scamming people from a Cancer patients donation page. Somehow I was charged my Lola Lumpia when I was asked to donate to a cancer patient to raise money for their family. This is despicable if you guys are truly linked to this scam. Shame on you guys.

Food is decent. Service needs a lot of improvement. They didn’t refill our water. They didn’t give us utensils. They charged 20% tips for 5 people. Will never come back again.

My party of 2 ordered and after 45 minutes of seeing larger parties who arrived later get their food before us, our waiter finally checked on us and had to re-order our food. It seemed they expedited because the food came shortly after but the beef tapa which I paid extra for also came out very dry and unpleasant to eat. Waiter didn’t come to refill our water either which I ran out of very quickly. It’s not like the waiter was too busy with other tables either, he was seen conversing with coworkers and being on his phone quite often with lack of attentiveness.

I REALLY enjoyed this place. Honestly. If you ever do decide to come here, make sure you go online and get on the waitlist, just make sure you're there when you're at least the top 10 in line.
This place had such a great atmosphere and vibe.
The look of the inside was really homely. The people were very friendly.
I submitted a photo: I myself had the Adobo Fried Rice Omelet -- it was really good (however, I got extra rice to counteract that it had a lot of adobo gravy).
It was definitely more on the pricey side, and we did have to wait outside for a little while, but honestly, it was worth it.

A nice and hip place to dine at with exceptional food selections. Excellent customer service and attentive to my party needs. I will definitely come back for more tasting in the near future.
Parking: A big parking lot shared with other businesses, not difficult in finding a spot.

A Filipino breakfast is very hearty, and Lola's knows how to make sure you feast and are full by the end of your meal!!
Lola's by MFK is a great place to have a Filipino breakfast/brunch. There are many great options that are not only classic Filipino breakfast items, but some that are Filipino-inspired and their take on the food is great!
When you come, know that you need to scan the QR code in front to join the waitlist (unless you are lucky and there is not a wait!).
Upon sitting down, there was just so many items I wanted to try. I did first get a Boku Pandan Cold Brew, which had just the right amount of boku pandan flavor in it where it was just not too overwhelming!
Now I will talk about a bunch of the dishes I had!
Adobo Fried Rice Omelette - This was my favorite dish. It was very hearty and had full of flavor! The chicken adobo inside was good and it had the right amount of sauce to over that garlic rice inside! I need to have someone make me this at home!
Ube Pancakes - By looking at it you may think there could be too much Ube flavor in here with all the color, but it was not too overwhelming. The pancakes themselves tasted great and it was just the right amount of Ube to complement the dish. If you want that sweetness for breakfast, then this is a dish to get!
Pork Sisig (was a special for the day when I was here) - You cannot go wrong with a good Pork Sisig! They did a great job with the stir-fried pork with those fried onions on that sizzing plate. This was definitely another heavy dish that we looked to munch on!
The service here was outstanding and very attentive considering it was very busy.
I will definitely need to come back here. I see they do a Kamayan brunch (communal-style meal where it is encouraged to eat with your hands), which is maybe what I need to try next time!

Very disappointing food from what I hoped would be an authentic Filipino experience. I ordered the "Silog" bowl with Tocino and the rice was severely undercooked and under seasoned lacking any flavor of garlic. It was more like steamed rice with crispy garlic than anything else. Given that this is the fundamental part of the "silog" breakfast, it is very upsetting that this restaurant can't get the rice correct.
I contacted the restaurant to address the undercooked rice and received new rice which was still lacking flavor. I do not believe this restaurant to be catered to the Filipino palette and rather a restaurant that is designed for people that do not know what the food should taste like.
As a Filipino who is looking for a taste of home, this was not it. Save your time and money, you can find better food elsewhere.

Why was my coffee flight almost the same price as the whole fish with rice? Tell me and the coffee was less than like a grande at Starbucks.
