“I ordered crispy pata the other day and when I got home the crispy pata was over fried that even the bone is burned. Very overcooked so it is very disappointing!“

“foods are amazing“

“The food was absolutely delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was so inviting. I started with the lumpia, which were crispy and flavorful. The pancit was also great, and I loved the way the vegetables were cooked. But the star of the show was the adobo. It was so tender and flavorful, and I could have eaten it all day. The service was also top-notch. Their crew was very friendly and helpful, and they made sure that we had everything we needed. The "Tindera" also gave us some great recommendations, and we didn't regret following them. The atmosphere at Kainan sa Kanto is casual and relaxed. Overall, Kainan sa Kanto is a great option for anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Filipino meal. The food is always fresh and the portions are generous and the service is friendly.“

“Great food and a lot of it. Good waitress too.“

“Great food but does not have a dress code. Should not accept customers wearing undershirt. It’s gross n tacky. It diminishes the restaurant’s ambiance.“

Parking: They have few stalls, majority are dominated by other tenants. Can be tricky during busy times.“

“A Taste of Home at Manila Sunrise in Carson

If you're craving authentic Filipino comfort food, Manila Sunrise in Carson is the place to go. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with warm hospitality that truly reflects the Filipino spirit. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and served in generous portions that make you feel like you're dining at home.

Their lechon kawali is a standout — perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, full of rich flavor. The palabok is also the best! And a must-try, with its savory sauce, balanced seasoning, and delicious toppings that capture the true taste of Filipino cuisine.

Whether you're Filipino or just exploring the cuisine, Manila Sunrise delivers a satisfying and delicious experience every time. Definitely one of the best spots for Filipino food in the South Bay area!“

“Great service my papz feel like in 🏡 home with his family 👪 and me too 😋 delicious flavors added to 🍖 meat great family atmosphere 😍“

“The best Poke in Long Beach! Loco Moco (oh boy, oh joy! 😋), Braised Beef and California Poke are my favorites. Definitely a MUST try, if you’re in the area! #pokeandmore“

“This place is fantastic! Don't let the location fool you—some of the best spots are hidden gems! The Longsilog and Tosilog were incredible, and the customer service was excellent. Don't just take my word for it; come and try it for yourself!“

“The best tasting Filipino restaurant /food out there.😋“

“Still one of the best values for Filipino food if you're coming from the beach areas of The OC. I discovered this place a long time ago while looking for a closer alternative to the famous Magic Wok (now Crispy House) crispy pata. At the time Sawali Grill's version was the closest.There are other items offered at this place which I favored, lechon kawali, beef kaldereta, bicol express, pork sisig, grilled liempo etc. The crispy pata is what draws me in all the time. The skin is crisp and the meat, very tender. As always, I order it "no chop." That keeps it warm on the way back home. And I always ask for vinegar instead of the standard liver sauce they always provide.Lately though I noticed a difference in the quality of the crispy pata. The skin is sometimes burnt in some areas. Besides that little variance, the taste is the same. Crispy skin as always and still a cost effective and closer alternative than driving all the way to Norwalk.Oh, and yes .. they are closed on Mondays as customary to most Filipino restaurants and yes, there is a surcharge for using a credit card for payment, customary cultural habit also!

Parking: There are parking spaces right in front of the restaurant. This place is located in a strip mall so there is a huge parking lot if none of the spaces in front are available.“

“Casa Filipina Bakery’s ginataan bilo-bilo is a true taste of the Philippines. The balance of sweetness from the coconut milk and the slight savoriness of the bilo-bilo was spot on. The texture of the bilo-bilo was perfect - chewy on the outside and soft on the inside. A delightful treat.“

“So far, they have the best tasting Filipino food in Socal. I don’t mind driving 10 miles just to buy from them. They’ve got big and generous portions and our To-Go order was carefully packed, too. Will definitely go back again and spread the word.“

“From the first moment you enter this restaurant the stuff gives you an enjoyable feeling. Very courteous stuff, it is a friendly place to to go out with buddies or with your date. delightful food, skillful chef de cuisine, modest pay and attentive service. Highly recommended.“

“The pastries and baked goods are delicious, but really, the food is the best. Go for lunch, you will not regret it.“

“Over the years I ordered many many times there sisig and the vegetables egg rolls. There sisig is so good that they run out very quick. The egg rolls are good for a quick filling snack. I was not a fan of there cube pork Lechon compared to other Filipino restaurant but that just me.“

“Something different to our usual flare for Filipino food.“

“WALANG KASING SARAPPPPPPP!!!! superrr bait pa ni tatay johnny������� highly recommended ang mga pagkain pinoy.hindi lang kambing ang mga ulam dito at ang pinaka approved sa akin eh hindi oily..“

“Nita’s is probably my favorite spot for Filipino food in the South Bay. Lots of delicious dishes here - from their sweet ribs to the barbecues, but my favorites have to be the kare kare and daing na bangus paired with their homemade vinegar. Five stars on the food. As for customer service, however, like other reviews have mentioned, they fall short on that. All the times I’ve gone, the staff wasn’t friendly, medyo masungit, with some even looking annoyed. Oh well. Sounds like a “It’s not me, it’s you” problem lol. As long as it doesn’t affect their cooking, it won’t stop me from coming back for some tasty comfort food. Kain tayo!“

“I tried this place for the first time today, and I am very happy I did.
It is a hole in the wall type place with Hawaiian style poke & other Hawaiian dishes.
I had the sweet & spicy ahi and salmon combination with rice, and it was excellent, in my opinion. Also, the service was quick and really friendly.
I plan on coming back soon!“

“Best Filipino food ever! Love the ambience, excellent service, and they have live entertainment and karaoke night!“

“A great place to go for real Filipino food!“

“Our first time to try this place ( Tuesday 1130 a.m.). First negative point was the narrow tight parking spots of the shopping center. You'd easily get a scratch/dent on your car . The next point .. the food prices are pricey ! ( about $ 6 to $7 bucks higher than other comparable eateries). However, to be fair, once we started eating our lomi n fresh lumpia.. it was a big wow.. it's a real sarap n the servings are huge. So it's still ok to eat here unless you don't mind the tight, narrow parking spots. Don't bring your Teslas, Mercedes n other elegant cars you may have esp on buffet days. The restroom doors by the way are supposed to be self closing n not prop opened per health regulations.“
