One of the best filipino shops i have tried.
Sisig is really good.
Laing is wow!
Goto is pak na pak! :)
The desserts like leche flan, carioca, turon, halo halo, maja, and cassava cake are the best too.

Must try!

If you’re looking for dishes that capture the comforting side of Filipino cuisine, bopis and papaitan here at Ima’s never disappoint.
Plus the serving is far too generous!!!

Some good homemade Filipino dessert and they also sell food. I like the desserts. The pork meat was salty. The staff was nice and filled up the pork to the top but there's no garlic rice or something rice related to eat the salty meat with. It's located in the heart of the strip mall w plenty of free parking next to seafood city grocery and Maxs Filipino restaurant. Grab and go and also dine in as there are a few tables to eat inside. This is not a place for vegetarian food. Maybe some desserts will be okay though.

i wanted to give 5 stars for their home-made chicharron because first time it was so good not over salted at all like other people who sells. then i order second time 5 packs and all packs were SOOOOO salty i felt shudder after each bite and I don’t know what I’m gonna do with rest of it. We also ordered sisig and that was also super salty

Ordered trays for catering. Beef steak, pancit bihon, chicken adobo, chicken curry, menudo. It was a hit with my guests!

The lumpiang Hubad sauce tastes like lechon sauce with liver.

Menu was underwhelming when it’s right next to seafood city, seems like no point to go here.

A taste of back home (sort of). Kapampangan cousine at its most mediocre. At least their bags of chicharon are good, if not a little over-priced. If you don't care about cholesterol and hypertension and all that fun stuff, I recommend their laing, sisig, and atsara, as it is quite decent. Their dinuguan is hit or miss. It's either pretty good or it tastes like paper. The service was interesting. A nice young woman took my order and put it in to-go containers and rang me up, but there was some random little dude, who I'm guessing might be the owner, who just awkwardly stood next to the register like a Terminator and stared at me like I was about to grab the food and run out without paying. Overall, it's not a bad experience. It's a small place with an extremely limited dining area, but it's very clean, and their goods are neatly displayed. If you're new to Filipino cuisine and are looking for a good introduction to Kapampangan food, this is the place to go. That is if you're willing to spend some money, as their prices are a bit high. It's not as good as back home, but it is a reasonable facsimile for the uninitiated.

Parking: If you are shopping here on the weekends, just be wary of the post-church legions of Filipinos doing their food acquisition at around lunchtime.

Today I ordered thru doordash 15mins before closing and they cancelled my order 1minute before they closed. Why you have to wait 15 minutes before cancelling. This was not the first time it happened. I am a regular customer ordering here EVERY WEEK saturday AND sunday. Last week, when I called the guy said hes closing in 5 minutes in rude manner (sounded like Im not allowed to order anymore). Thats totally understandable as I am working in a food business too BUT if you dont want to get late orders then you better fix your integration systems like uber and doordash. Set a time for last call.
You have to understand every time you cancelled orders online it takes at least 3 business days to get a refund.

I will not order here anymore and do it in KAWAYAN restaurant instead which is more professional than this restaurant!
