Arrived after 10:30am. Glad there were hot food items ready.$18.49 for 3 item combo (plus tax):2 star - Lumpia. Only slightly crunchy. So so taste. I was given sweet and sour sauce in a small packet (similar to small packets of soy sauce from chinese restaurants). Not good.4 star Pinakbet and Ginisang upo but were served room temp. Not even warm.4 star Garlic Fried Rice.For dessert: 2 starBanana Q and Camoteng kahoy Q ($7.99). The package contained 4 fried bananas and 4 small fried camoteng kahoy (with coconut?). The frying oil used for the bananas left a nasty after taste on my lips. Tasted like rancid oil or oil where fish was fried. Nasty. I only ate 2 pcs.Service - 5 star. Very attentive and friendly.Cleanliness - 5 star.Total $28.53 for lunch.

Lechon is always the best. Ampalaya, upo, pinakbet always my favorite. Wish they make some Dinuguan sometimes.

We ordered catered food for our family reunion on July 1st. We needed more food because it was gone very quickly especially the lumpias! I knew I needed more but the owner said that order would be sufficient. Overall the food was delicious and I would use them again but be adamant about the quantity. We ordered lumpia, chicken adobo, pancit, and rice for 30 people (1/2 trays) should have had full trays.

The people are great the food is always amazing. There is a mini store inside too. They do same day catering orders too. I've been going there for years.

This restaurant is my favorite because they have a wide variety of Filipino food that is like home cooked dishes. I ordered palabok, lumpia, and adobo for a private party, good serving size at a reasonable prices. The place is clean, spacious, and courteous staff. I recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Had the pleasure of finding this little gem today. Filipino food is hard to find, but I found it. Had a late breakfast so I was pretty full still so I ordered the pork lumpia. I don't think I've ever had any that's better than that. Can't wait to try the food.

This is our go-to place to pick up lumpia & pancit noodles. Both are the best.

IGNORE all the low stars! Filipina foodie here and I'll give you the real breakdown! Like every Filipino Fastfood it will have tons of hiccups.I gave it a 5 star because they stew correctly! Are the flavors perfect, NO. But it was a pleasant surprise that the Kare Kare was extremely tender!!!! So was the beef stew! Unbelievable on the nice fat and tender ratio on top of steam rice! Lechon was perfect! Not burnt or chewy. It was so crispy that even the fat was edible! Sig sig needs more ginger and crunch. Too much vinegar.Empetido was $7, however too vinegary too!Who ever is in charge of the vinegar, we need to tell Mr or Ms Maasim to please slow your roll... do WAY less. This may be why the adobo can be hit or miss!!! And the reputation of this place is not as good as it could be. All because of the Vinegar Obsession. LOL Cook out the vinegar so it's not too maasim. (Sour) or just hide it from the chef! Only put out what's needed, and place those Costco gallon jugs in a secret place.Overall customers will be satisfied to feed the fix! And Cassava cake is TENDER too! Flan-ish! 5 star!Lastly, they are constantly cleaning!!! Very rare in a Filipino restaurant. Usually everyone is so tired from cooking that the entire place is a little... you know... filthy. LOL!!!This place is CLEAN, you can bring a friend here without worrying that roaches will run across the floor!

Nice people but their prices are bait-and-switch like. Extra $2 for Kare-kare that's all bone. Horrible way to serve

The "Aunties" there are so nice. I haven't to their new location. It was smaller in the 80's. 38 yrs. later I am back! The food is pretty tasty. I had some of their lumpias and a plate of palabok pansit. The pancit was sitting on some banana leaf... nice touch. Their fresh shredded cantaloupe was refreshing! I'll be back.

I ordered 1 combo w/ 3 items, tortang talong, Laing and Sisig and 1 can Diet Pepsi. I paid $21.40 for the entire meal. I was charged extra $2.75 for the tortang talong.1- Laing had no coconut milk but vinegar, terribly SOUR 2- sisig was COLD, I had 7 small little cubes of meat which tasted like left over in fridge and the rest were onions3- tortang talong was BOILED and not properly cooked, has NO TASTE at all like biting a soft towel. AFTER 3 bites, I threw everything in the trash and left. I can't believe the owner thinks his cooking is good. Why have a restaurant? It's really bad! I will never go back to that place!I should have made them all at home. I know how they made shortcuts and not cooked well. I paid $21.40 for trashy food.I will NEVER go back and I DO NOT RECOMMEND!

I recently tried Orient Valley Filipino Cuisine for lunch, and it was a delightful experience. As a first-timer, I ordered the 2 entree plate with the noodles (pancit) and opted for the bbq pork and lechon kawali.Although the lechon wasn't hot when I received it, the crispy texture and delicious taste made up for it. I decided to air fry it at home and it was amazing. The bbq pork was equally delicious and only one skewer was given, which was a bit of a bummer since it was so tasty.Despite my limited Tagalog, the lady serving me insisted on speaking Tagalog. She was patient with me, and I tried my best to respond in Tagalog as well.Overall, I would definitely return to Orient Valley Filipino Cuisine. The food was mouth-watering and definitely not too healthy, but sometimes that's okay.

Let me preface this review by saying I have been a customer for over 15 years. Grew up and raised in PQ. This is a constructive criticism review and hope quality improves. Will give another chance down the line when I am craving Filipino food, but for now I will take a break and travel down the road to Mira MesaQuality in food has fallen off. Some days are better than others depending on the cook. Consistency in food is lacking and taste.It's as if food is cooked in batches and reheated the next day if not sold from previous day. I have gotten takeout several times in the past few months and like I said some days are worse than others. 1 out of 3 times have been quality. Will edit or delete this review if consistency returns.Customer Service: 5/5Quality/Taste
