A Culinary Delight with a Dash of Patience:I recently dined here that left my taste buds dancing with joy. The food was nothing short of exceptional—flavors bursting forth, ingredients fresh, and presentation impeccable. From the aromatic curries to the perfectly seared meats, every dish was a celebration of Filipino culinary artistry.However, there’s a caveat—the waiting time. Oh, the waiting time! It felt like an eternity. Picture this: I sat there, stomach growling, as the minutes ticked by. The anticipation was both tantalizing and torturous. An hour—an entire hour—passed before our food graced our table. The hunger pangs turned into a full-blown symphony, and I half-expected the chef to emerge with a golden fiddle, challenging me to a duel.Remember, the best things in life are worth waiting for—but let’s keep it within reasonable bounds. As I left the restaurant, satiated yet slightly delirious from hunger, I couldn’t help but wonder: Is there a parallel universe where time moves faster in kitchens? Perhaps. Until then, bon appétit, fellow food enthusiasts! ?️

Came for dinner with my wife. Ordered grilled squid, kari-kari, fresh coconut and a bottle of red horse. The grilled squid was ok. However, the kari- kari did not come with tripe and had only one small piece of very fatty oxtail. The rest of the meat were beef cubes that were tough to chew. Very disappointed! Also the place have their speakers volume too loud to even have a normal conversation. Total bill came close to $90 that include 20% mandatory service charge! Bad experience.

This review is for Noypitz Cerritos. We try this for the first time this Saturday all you can eat breakfast buffet. Friendly service. First The food choices is not that much. Almost 90% of the food is COLD already... the place is dark. And another one if your kids is 6 years old and up you will pay them for a full price. I don't recommend this place. Try Mekeni Pinoy's Pride in Artesia they got more selections of food (breakfast). Warm food and very pleasant place to eat.

Great food, ambiance, and service. We are from out of town and we enjoyed our lunch here specially the (milk fish) bangus sisig and the (grilled pork raw tuna) sinuglaw. We're definitely going to try it again when we are in Artesia-Anaheim area

Food was so so at best. Band could be much better but everything they played was way to loud. The drummer drowned out the vocals and the vocals too often were virtually screaming If they toned it down several decibals they would be much better.

if you want to have dinner with some entertainment, this is the place to go. We had dinner here on a Saturday night. The place was almost packed. We arrived at around 8pm, and was seated near the stage, the band started playing at this time. We ordered Crispy pata ( fried pork hock which was super crispy), Dinakdakan (grilled pork with mayo) and Miki Bihon ( stir fried noodles), everything was delicious. Overall, a very enjoyable Saturday dinner.

My first time to eat at this place. Food is over priced specially on the quality of food and services they offered. Hard to get attention of the servers. Servers were very polite but seemed not organized of who the server was for each table or maybe it was all of them? Ordered Moscow mule and they put lemon instead of lime and they don’t have lime? Added 20% tip to our bill regardless that it was only my friend and I ? We were willing to give a tip but to add the tip for a group of less than 6 people is not common. There’s other Filipino restaurants that prices are way cheaper and serve good food. They have live music which was awesome. Not sure if I will come back to this place. Not impressed with the quality of food and prices are way way too expensive ..

I used to be a regular at this establishment, but my recent experience has left me incredibly disappointed. The tipping point for me was when I noticed they automatically charged us the maximum service charge, despite there being 15% and 18% options available. It felt like they were taking advantage of their customers. I will not return.

They have a bar but it's off limits. I don't know why? Not recommended to watch sports games.

My wife and I visited the Cerritos location last night and I am very disappointed on the way the do business.FOOD: Good traditional Filipino food; reason for coming here.SERVICE: Good service but I don't know why they INCLUDED the 20% service charge on a dinner for just 2 PEOPLE. NOT EVEN A BIG GROUP. I normally give good tips but this is an IMPOSED giving. Again, I was ok with the service last night but what if I wasn't? Why impose the service charge???ATMOSPHERE: Unfortunately, the band that played last night did nothing to elevate the atmosphere. The band, Monster turned Machine, was READING the lyrics on his phone during the performance, and the instruments were louder that the vocal. It seems like seeing a karaoke performance.ADDED ITEM: They started adding 3% charge if you are paying with a credit card. - To me, this is not a good thing. That's just me.
Came here for lunch with some friends and ordered the Noypitz platter, binagaoong, and pork sisig. Lots of fried food but it was so good! The platter included with lumpia and calamari among other things like pancit and crispy pata. The lumpia and calamari both had great flavor and a perfect crisp to them. I kept nibbling at them even though the other dishes were plentiful. The binagoong was super flavorful too and very crispy! I loved eating it over rice. I wasn't a huge fan of the pork sisig because since I'm not Filipino, I'm not used to eat pig ear and pig snout... Overall, the meal was super filling and I went into a food coma afterwards. The flavors were wonderful and I felt well fed at the end of my meal!

I love everything here! The food is all delicious! Fantastic Filipino restaurant! If you're looking for a Filipino food... you'll probably enjoy the food here too.

I've been coming here since Dec 2022 and I'm just leaving a review now! Everything is great from the ambiance every weekend (the band), to the food, service and the drinks from the bar. Shout out to the bartender lol. The crew is accommodating. I have the best time here and I'll be back soon!

Food is great. We love the pancit noodles here and dinakdakan! The staffs are friendly and accommodating.

Throwing down an extra $30 hidden charge for bad food and really LOUD karaoke. Turn down the bass! And don't stick us with fees. i would tip my waiter but I feel robbed.
