Crispy pata here is so good! Kare Kare is a must try here since they they leave peanut chunks on the sauce plus the veggies are fresh and it’s up to you to mix them up when you’re ready to eat. Halo-halo was ok, missing kaong and nata de coco but overall it’s still good since they had ube halaya and leche flan on it.
No hate. Food is good but portion size is kind of a robbery.

Unfortunately disappointed in both their food and service.When I arrived for my order, the woman who took my payment did not converse at all except when I asked for the total. It felt unwelcoming and awkward. I entered and left with no greeting and no one helped me to my order so I just looked for it myself.Food itself was also not great. Kare kare was very bland, I could only eat two bites before deciding I had to adjust it.Sisig seems to have lemon instead of calamansi. The lemon flavor was overpowering and just didn't taste right in the dish.

We had a big family meal here. We ate kare kare, pork sinigang, lumpia Shanghai, pancit mixed, lechon kawali, turon and a Pandan drink. Food was really delicious and we left really happy. The staff were nice too. They had a nice conversation about the fruits on the painting on the wall behind our table with us.

Been dining here almost twice a month, food is good and not salty at all. I love their crispy pata and adobo rice the most. Turon with ice cream for the best dessert :)Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly environment.
The food is good. I just don't prefer the sisig here. I think it's not sisig, it's more like dinakdakan because it has a ginger. But if you like that version, you might like it. The drinks are also good. Overall, the place is nice.Parking: There is a paid parking lot nearby.

Very good Filipino food without having to trek out to Queens. They also have some Thai and Vietnamese dishes for those who are so adventurous. If you never had Filipino food before, dip your feet in by ordering lumpiang Shanghai (Filipino spring rolls).Crispy pata is very good. Their kare-kare is also good. They put the steamed vegetables in on top of it instead of mixing it in like many other places.Save room for their halo halo with ube ice cream or toron.Note: BYO. There’s a store a couple of blocks away.Parking: Metered parking lot less than a block away. Metered street parking also available.

Excellent food selections. Great taste. Affordable price. Excellent customer service.Vegetarian options: The pinakbet that we ordered, for example. A vegetarian can order it without pork, chicken, or shrimp. Food is freshly cooked in the restaurant, so a vegetarian can specify her food preference.

My Family and I and friends have been coming to Pandan for years and we will continue to do so. Everything is amazing and delicious and we love the staff. Super sweet and it just feels as if they are extended family.

I take my kids to Pandan for their fantastic Halo-Halo. Their meals are excellent, too. I especially enjoy their Pork Sisig. My only issue is that it's a little small, but that's a tiny complaint for such quality food.Parking: There is a lot across the street.
Their BBQ chicken with rice and their Halo-Halo are the best! I will definitely be trying more of their menu items. Food is always delicious and the staff is always friendly.
