Good portion of food for the price, pork sisig is fire and I love the bread roll. Would be great if they have lumpia as a side instead of having to purchase a whole big box of it. Also they dont give u water.

My boyfriend and I decided to try this place for some Filipino food since it was the closest option nearby. The food was okay overall. He ordered the giniling with rice, and I had the pork sisig and lumpia. Unfortunately, the dishes were served cold and didn’t taste very authentic. However, we really enjoyed the lumpia . it was the best part of our meal.

So disappointed I order this all the time. Today it came with just meat and rice where are all the vegetables and flavoring. I am extremely disappointed in the service. I was looking forward to eating it the way you normally make and the way the picture looks. I was going to order from Jollibee but waited an hour to eat from Big boi.

My wife is Filipino and every time we're in a new place, she looks for Filipino restaurants. Today we had some time in LA, and this is the closest Filipino place to the airport. We should have just gone further out. This place was a complete disappointment.

I'll start with the positive... the lumpia, with their sweet chili sauce was actually pretty good. This is why it's two stars and not one.

Everything else was less than subpar. The tocino was disgusting. It's like they just dyed some pork chunks red and overcooked them in sugar water. The longanisa tastes like they just took the same failed tocino, ground it up and stuffed it in a sausage casing. My wife says she can't even describe the sisig, other than it's terrible. She ate her rice. Everything else get thrown away.

Such a disappointment.

This review is regard to their online store. I ordered some ube butter off their website a few weeks ago and they never shipped my item. I contacted them via email, phone call, and Instagram. No one ever responded to my messages. I ordered nearly $100 worth of stuff that I’ll have to file a claim for. It is very irresponsible for them to sell products on a website and have no one to fulfill the order or provide basic customer service. I don’t recommend ordering from their website and supporting their business.

This was my first time eating at Big Boi and pretty much Filipino food in general. I think part was ordering the wrong item - should have ordered something more authentic. I ordered one of their special - the fried chicken and a classic side - spaghetti. The fried chicken wasn’t all that honestly. Wasn’t a huge fan of the flavor and the breading. I was expecting a BIG JUUUUICY meat but didn’t get it. The spaghetti was the most disappointing one. It was pretty much cold 😭 I had such high hopes for it since everyone recommends it and was ready to SLUUURP it. Not sure if they’re prepackaged but it would be nice if they keep it warm for the customer (see how the cheese isn’t melted).
I also got the Ube Butter togo and THAT WAS MY FAVORITE! 🤩 I probably would have scored it lower if the Ube butter wasn’t so delicious. I highly recommend it with some brioche or Hawaiian roll…MMMM PERFECTO! 🤤
I’ll definitely go back and give it another shot and update the review.

Big portions. The big plate was more than enough for two. We asked for pork sisig and longanisa and was amazing. The calamansi water was refreshing.

Great quality food, my favorite go to is their sinigang!

The restaurant is not fully vegan but there are a plethora of vegan options. We ordered the BIGZ combo with plant-based spam and sisig with pancit noodles and garlic rice. It was a delicious and giant meal. We shared and even have leftovers.

This place has some good reviews so I ordered from Uber Eats 2 times. And both times it was terrible and the food did not look anything like the picture. I got the weekend special today and what I got was sad. The meat had no sauce but the pic shows as if it has sauce. Was not a fan of the lumpia, but that could be preferance. The only thing that was worth eating was the pancet. So sad because I tried it twice and both times I was disappointed. I really wanted to like it. Maybe I'll have to go in person.

Best Sisig! We come every time we're in LA.

I’ve never felt more disrespected in a restaurant. The way I was treated by someone who seemed to be the manager (or possibly the owner) was completely unacceptable. Their tone was rude, dismissive, and frankly, shocking for someone in a position of leadership.

It’s incredibly disappointing when a business forgets the basic value of treating people with decency. I came here expecting good food and a pleasant experience, but instead, I was made to feel humiliated and unwelcome.

No one deserves to be spoken to or treated this way—especially not paying customers. I will not be returning, and I hope others think twice before supporting a place that allows this kind of behavior.

Unbelievably good food. Counter service, not a very large place but some outdoor dining to give you a chance to watch the people walk by.

Large portions of very tasty Filipino food. Everything cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back for more.
