“If you want good Filipino food from a family owned cozy staple in Filipino town then this is the place to go! Came by here during a visit to LA and it was recommended by some friends who live in the neighborhood and I was not disappointed at all. Here are some takeaways:EnvironmentThis is a small cozy restaurant that has a family style vibe to it. A great welcoming energy, we felt right at home. We stopped around midday during the week so it wasn't a lot of people there. Overall it was relaxing and warm - great for lunch with friends or if you're alone and want to grab a bite to eat.ServiceOur server happened to also be the daughter of the owners. She was great and was happy to share some of the history of the restaurant with me. She was very helpful with telling us about the food and giving us recommendations. Great service!Food and drinksWe had a little bit of everything - and all of it was great! Here's a run down of everything we had:MAMA LEAH'S COCONUT BEEF ADOBOANN'S CORNBREAD BIBINGKASTEAMED WHITE RICENOEL'S SMOKED GOUDA MACSAN PABLO PULLED PORKEverything was delicious. The coconut beef (amazing!) was great with the steamed white rice, the mac and cheese was tasty, the pulled pork had a lot of flavor and the cornbread was warm and sweet, but not too sweet. Again - all the food was great.OverallLovely family owned restaurant. So glad that we stopped by here. If i'm ever in LA again this will definitely be a place I'll visit again. Great food with a great story.“
“As someone who takes great pride in the love of fine food, I have to say: This little restaurant is absolutely amazing. This is possibly the best meal I have had in years ( and that is really saying a lot). Each course was a beautiful dance. Each dish had their own very distinct personality, yet the transition between dishes was absolutely harmonious. The staff was fantastic to deal with, informative, personable, and truly enjoyed being there that moment, doing what they do. Get a table now, while they are still available. You won’t be sorry.“
“I dont want to be too critical - but to me this place was just ok.. i mean props on elevating , and putting a twist to Fil dishes. - but it was underwhelming, atleast for me. Ive had many filipino fusion, twist or watever u wanna call it. Iv had Kasama in Chicago, the first Filipino Michelin Star -- and maybe that was my standard... still good though , I wings sadly was my favorite.. kare kare was cool.. but more sauce and more bagoong wouldve been cool - but then again I think they played it safe - to cater to non Fils... now the Pancit Palabok - I dd not get the pasta filling -- it was shrimp supposedly - tasted more like a fish ball, meat ball texture.. it threw me of cus Palabok is mostly just noodles w sauce - and some shrimp if youre lucky , and chicharon.. it had a lil of palabok to it but again I didnt get the pasta filling -- Its a pop up vibe, it was dark like really dark, and was only 2 tables dining, it was also so the menu was super limited.. maybe il come for dinner next time.. but I saw the dinner prices , and its a lil too much , as people have said on yelp, so not sure if Il even go unless it comes about... give em a try , maybe Im just too bias cus of Kasama and also a yelper said, a non Filipino would enjoy it more -- server also gave us the wrong bill, not a big deal but considering there was only 2 tables there , it kinda messed up the vibe more lol .. but still 4 stars for support n the food wasnt bad so dont be discouraged.. check em out.“
“Fusion Filipino restaurant with natural wine and Filipino beer selection. After trying many under-delivered fusion Filipino restaurants, Spoon and Pork easily takes the crowd to have the best executed fusion style dishes. We had the sinigang, grilled chicken, adobo chicken wings, pork belly, and garlic rice, and none of them disappointed.Sinigang's soup was rich and flavorful while the topping in the soup was cooked separately so they are not over cooked. The ribs came with a real nicely grilled flavored. The pork belly had crispy skin as expected and the fat to meat ratio was really good. The adobo chicken wings sauce was thick and sticky and not too salty nor sour, we kept the sauce for dipping Even after the wings were devoured.We are glad we took another chance in another fusion Filipino restaurant and we'll keep S&P on our rotation.“
“Came here for lunch with some coworkers. We were very impressed with the quality and price of the food. $14 for two entrees and noodles, and there was plenty left over to take home. The best thing about this place was the service, though. The woman who helped us was the daughter of the owner. She was very welcoming, explained the different foods to us, and even let us try them before making a decision. I really look forward to coming back!“
“Finally got to try out this incredibly fun, low budget spot in the core of mid-city in Historic Filipinotown. I've recently made a group of Filipinos who suggested with check it out on a Friday night. The place is popping -- and feels like one of those late night spots you'd go after a few drinks out on the town. There is a parking lot out front, but spaces are a premium. My friends lucked out and got a spot, while I ended up parking nearby in the neighborhood. This is a true street food experience. Don't expect trendy night out! It's open seating with plastic tables and stools spilling out into the parking lot with open flame grills for you to cook your food over. The first step is to go inside, and grab a plate to select your skewers. If you're getting raw meat, my friend had the GREAT recommendation of grabbing 2 plates so you don't mix your raw meat juices on the food you just grilled. The energy here is so much fun. I definitely stood out, as the friendly worker behind the counter gave me a shout out over a microphone system that pumped music through the restaurant and parking lot, yelling out "We have Phil from West Hollywood in the house!" Always loving be the center of attention, I ate it up! If you like rice with your meat, you'll need to request that as you pay, along with any sauces. We had a big group so some of us split while we got the food and others saved our table out front since this place can get very busy. All skewers and food (except for the desserts) need to be grilled on the open flames. I had no idea when mine should be done. But I think I guessed correct as I didn't bite into any raw meat or feel sick. It's one of those authentic experiences I've come to find in LA when it comes to regional international foods. Check it out!“
“So delicious! We were bummed to have JUST MISSED the ribs special, the sold out right before our order. But the food we did get was so good. Mmm, for sure will be back.My boyfriend went with a few of his friends several months ago and I’ve been wanting to go since. I’ve sent several friends and family members to enjoy the food.Cute little hole in the wall space. I’ll be back’“
“This is my favorite Filipino restaurant in the historic Filipino town. I've been coming here for decades. The service and food quality is great and consistent. My family's go to are sinigang, okoy, fresh lumpia vegetables (without wrapper), bangus, caldereta, and their breakfast combos. Ambiance is homey.“
“Oi has been a local favorite for us for a while now! It’s so nice to have yummy Filipino food nearby— I’ve tried several of the bowls and have loved all of them.Today I went in and ordered food to go, and then stopped by the boba place next door while waiting for my food. I didn’t even mention where I was going, but a few minutes later someone from Oi peeked their head in to see if I was there and brought me my food. Needless to stay, the staff goes above and beyond. I’d had a tough morning and that little thoughtful act really brightened my day.“
“On our last day in LA we decided to visit Filipinotown to have some Filipino food and we stumbled upon HiFi and boy do we not regret coming by. Food was simply incredible, the flavor was perfect and hands down best Filipino food we’ve tried. Don’t think twice and come in and have some great food!! You need to order their Pandan Horchata drink, soo good!“
“mark and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. as a filipino, I must say this is one of the best filipino panaderias in LA. they have probably the best turon and homemade polvoron I've had in all of the metro area ever. the empanadas are also delicious. I've yet to try everything but I love what I've had so far!!“
“The people that my husband and have encountered at Sisig are truly some of the nicest people we have encountered. It’s always a delight to go in. We are in the area in business and I have to go and get a food and/or drinks for my husband and I. It’s enjoyable to go into the restaurant because of the people that work there .“
“Great place to order some Filipino food. I've ordered Arroz Caldo plenty of times, Sotangon and more!! Customer service is great and everyone is so kind. Special thank you to Gerald who has been so patient with me when I go and order because sometimes I keep changing my mind, and thank you for making me laugh especially after having a hard day.“
“The best home cooked filipino breakfast place! Been going here for decades, the service and taste of the food never changed. A little gem in LA to must visit when craving for filipino breakfast or food. Their Bulalo that is being served on Thursday and Sunday is also a must try. Their phone number changed to (323) 407-6193.“
“Most delicious Pilipinx food in LA, hands down! Love how LA Rose has been an LA staple and hub and guiding star beacon of delicious goodness and community ever since 45+ years ago. This is how you know LA Rose is the beating heart and roots of FilAm food in LA. Love the welcoming, like family, staff who greet you here and are sick to serve and support you and make you feel like home. Appreciate all the warming decors showing pride for FilAm culture. My chicken longanisa w veggies and warm rice was absolutely delicious. Adobo chicken is the best as well. Halo halo dessert with Ube coconut icecream, shaved ice, flan, and more goodies mixed in is a MUST. Maraming Salamat, Many Thanks, LA Rose. Will return again and again with all of our barkada family friends communities. We love you forever!“
“Okay this is going to be a kind of chaotic review but here are my take-aways:We ordered around 6:45 on a Friday and our order was ready earlier than estimated.The pick up window is so cute and I loved the little patio. We live close by so we just took the sushi home to eat.The boxes were HEAVY. The price point is crazy for how much food you get!!I thought the chilote roll was a bit bland for being topped with crumbled hot Cheetos, but I love that it it was rolled in some kind of seaweed dust. Probably would skip this one next time, but I had to try it.I cannot emphasize enough how BIG the rolls are. Even the hand roll. I’m used to a hand roll being 2-3 bites, but this one was easily 5-6. With the special rolls I could barely fit one piece in my mouth ? It is not sexy sushi. I had to eat a lot of pieces with my hands because my chopstick skills could just not keep up.I would 10/10 order again!!“
“I already posted my review on Yelp but I will post it also in Google my personal review of this Authentic Filipino Cuisine “Kusina Filipina”.This is my first time writing a review of a Filipino restaurant. OMG, their food is super delicious and authentic, lots of items to choose from. prices are very affordable and the server is very hospitable. can't wait to go back to this place. Even though I live in Ventura county I will still find time to visit this place and dine with my friend.Thank you Kusina Filipina for serving Los Angeles. You guys rock and awesome ???“
“Awesome Filipino restaurant & im definitely coming back in the future!On this beautiful hot day, I got some calamansi juice to cool me off & I ordered the Sisig with garlic fried rice. By far one of the best Sisig I’ve ever had, a different take on it but still has the taste of solid Sisig! The garlic rice is a must have and the pandesal on the side is gold!Shoutout to the excellent customer service too! I highly recommend checking this spot out & can’t wait to taste their other offerings!***update***I had a Uber eats order and it came correct. Delicious pork pieces that were cooked perfectly and super crispy with that all purpose sauce!The pork tocino, fried lumpia,spaghetti, fried chicken, langonisa, pork sisig and garlic fried rice topped with a fried egg was phenomenal!The spaghetti was good, not as good as jollibee but that’s just my opinion and the fried chicken was also good but not Max’s level. Overall it’s an amazing restaurant.“
“Best upscale Filipino food on the Sunset strip!Will definitely be back.Try the lechon kawali and chicken skins! OMG! So heavenly!Our server was great and very sweet and seemed to genuinely care that our experience is nothing short of superb!“
