I ordered some party trays for a birthday party and the food was outstanding!!! We will be back!!

Food was great. Really enjoyed the sweet and sour pampano -- and I am not a fish person! Had to take the sauce home so I can still savor it with rice when I got home. Amazingly delicious! Their Kare-kare is always good. I've tasted it before when they were located in a much smaller spot in West Covina. It's one of my favorite dishes there. It's topped with lechon kawali and that made it even better tasting We also ordered Pancit Bihon and Crispy Pata , which were absolutely enjoyable. Service was also great. Our server was very polite and attentive. Even the owners (or maybe their partners) were very accommodating and were very helpful when we asked about their party accommodation. I am looking forward to trying their breakfast buffet. I believe it's cheaper on weekdays. I would definitely come back here as I feel like this is the only good Filipino dine in spot in this Manila Way plaza. They also have one in San Gabriel but not like this one in West Covina. That one is located in a food hall. Give it a try if you're craving for some Filipino food! read more

The food and service were great, but the way the bill was handled completely ruined the experience for me. This review is based solely on what happened last night when we paid our bill. There were four of us in our party on a Saturday night. When we asked for the check, our waiter brought over the Clover payment machine and held it in front of me. The first screen showed the total, but it did not show an itemized breakdown. When I hit "Next," it immediately brought up the tipping options (15%, 18%, 20%, etc.). I entered my tip amount, selected next, tapped my card, and entered my PIN. After the payment processed, the waiter handed me the itemized receipt. That's when I noticed there was already a 20% service charge added to the bill, on top of the tip I had just entered. So essentially, I was about to leave a 35%+ gratuity/service charge without realizing it. I went to the front and brought this up with the woman there. She explained that a 20% service charge is automatically added to parties of four or more. I understand that a restaurant can have its own policies, but customers should be clearly informed about an automatic 20% service charge before being presented with a tipping screen. We eat out often, and while automatic service charges do exist at some restaurants, the issue here was the lack of transparency during the payment process. If I had seen the itemized bill first, I would have known the 20% service charge was already included and could make an informed decision about any additional tip. To their credit, they refunded the original transaction, and I was able to remove the additional tip. I appreciate them correcting the charge, but the situation left a bad taste in my mouth. I honestly felt like I was about to unknowingly pay well over 35% in gratuity/service charges. That's not something I would have knowingly agreed to. If the restaurant simply made customers aware of the 20% service charge and provided the itemized bill before asking them to select a tip and pay, this entire situation could have been avoided. What's especially disappointing is that I would have given this place 5 stars based on the food and service alone. It's a small business, and I actually want to support small businesses. I've also given this same restaurant in the SG Food Hall a 5-star review in the past, so I don't make a habit of leaving negative reviews. Unfortunately, based on what happened last night, we won't be returning. The food was great. The service was great. The payment experience was not. Please just be transparent about the automatic service charge and give customers the opportunity to see the itemized bill before they are prompted to add an additional tip. read more

first time here , it was really fun night! ambience is excellent, food is delicious we ordered eggrolls and calamares and tried this filipino beer red horse. we enjoyed the videoke night. im definitely going back to have party with my friends. very good friendly service, Roxy made out experience more welcoming. read more

I just love this place that no one knows. The food never fails me in authenticity and just or more than enough portions for some. The service is quick and the place is super clean. Here we are on a Saturday lunch and it's not crowded, the way I like it. My daing is just perfectly crispy and the eggs are just the way I like it with the yolk flowing while the whites are semi-firm. The place is like being at home. The tapa is very tasty and the sausages looks like homemade. read more

I've been to their other location and that one is hit or miss. It's so popular that your order can take almost an hour long. I didn't have that issue at this location, but I was also there first thing in the morning. I was there for Filipino breakfast. This is something I grew up with. Beef tapa (almost a drier jerky but nice chewy feel), fried garlic rice, and topped with two deep fried eggs. It's salty, savory, and delicious. They garnish it off with a slice of raw cucumber and tomato which cuts the fatty salty flavor profile of the dish bring it balance. For the truly traditional they give you Filipino vinegar which I douse the eggs and tapa with. This plaza is a Filipino plaza stock full of Filipino restaurants and a seafood city. Parking is plentiful, but the driving not so great (I say that as a Filipino) and even in the morning people were parking over designated lines. The interior of this location is spacious. It looks like they offer some sort of buffet as I saw a section for trays. Looks like they might also have live entertainment? All in all fantastic breakfast option! Haven't been for lunch, but if it's like breakfast it should be worth it! read more

I had a good experience at Almuchow (West Covina). I ordered the Longsilog ($15) and Pansit Mix ($16) for To-Go. The food arrived picturesque! However, the flavors felt fairly muted. It tasted like a "healthy" version of Filipino food. Still, my 83 year old Filipino Grandmother (who's now averse to too much seasoning) genuinely enjoyed this modern interpretation of pansit. I arrived at Almuchow (West Covina) on Sunday (around 3:16PM). Parking is easy. The lot is big. Surprisingly, Almuchow (West Covina) had taken over the old location of Bistro Filipino. Almuchow (West Covina) had relocated to this new spot in late December. Staff is very professional, welcoming and friendly. Staff works hard. I observed how Staff worked nonstop throughout my visit. My food took 14 minutes and five seconds. Good time! As mentioned, the Longsilog ($15) and Pansit Mix ($16) appears beautiful. Although it lacks the usual saltiness & oiliness of traditional Filipino food, it felt health conscious with comforting textures. The ingredients tasted clean. The Longsilog's sausage had the familiar sweetness of the Longanisa, but it felt more comparable to a meatball/meatloaf version. The Pansit also had the wetness and length of the usual dish, but it tasted muted. Still, the food felt well-intentioned and filling. Regarding ambiance, Almuchow (West Covina) is spacious, clean, and welcoming. I appreciated how Filipino music played on its speakers. The flat screen TVs even showed filipino musicians. There's also plenty of tables and a gender neutral restroom. Overall, I had a good experience at Almuchow (West Covina). The food is a good option for customers looking for a modern twist on filipino classics. If curious and nearby, it's a decent option. 4.5 out of 5 read more

This is always my go to spot for office potlucks, but I also come here just for myself. The beef caldereta is my favorite, but honestly everything on the menu is good. The sinigang has a great sourness, and the breakfast items are really solid too. I feel like I've tried most of the menu at this point, and it has all been consistently good. For catering trays, they do require pre payment, but it is definitely worth it. Even during holidays, the pickup experience for catering orders has been easy and smooth. read more

No wasted time of fun, laughter and singing blast! Nice to unwind and sing in whatever tune my mood is. My audience have no choice but listen I also love the foods and the people around read more

Whenever we're in West Covina and near the Seafood City in that area, my wife and I will always try to drop by Almuchow for our Filipino brunch fix. I'll usually get the Longsilog breakfast plate while my wife gets the Tapsilog breakfast plate. To finish things off we usually get two cold glasses of Sago Gulaman. The customer service is great and servers are always friendly and attentive to our needs. They sometimes have live bands performing. They always have great music and the decor makes you feel like you're having your meal at an eatery in the Philippines. read more

New location! Different location, same delicious food! The menu is largely unchanged, apparently they added a few new things. My go to is definitely any of the silogs. But I see they have chicken adobo now and I HAVE to come back and try that. The space is HUGE now. So much more room for sit in dining. read more

I had place a takeout order at Almuchow since I was craving Filipino food. I put in an order on a mobile app and head over ~15 minutes later. The store is located in a large plaza with plenty of parking. When I got there, the order wasn't ready yet, so I needed to wait another 5 minutes or so. I ordered the Longsilog and took a bit of time to eat it. The sausage was a bit tough but tasted good. The garlic rice was not anything special. This dish by itself was a bit expensive and the portion feels a bit light. read more

We came around 2 on a Saturday and there were a few tables with guests. Staff are nice, minor language barrier (as we don't speak Tagalog and it was our first time here) Portions are generous. We ordered the mango, calamansi juice and gulaman (black grass jelly) crispy pata (fried pork), pork kare kare (pork curry), and rice meal with chicken BBQ. We had a lot of leftovers. Everything tasted good. We were not expecting the crispy pata to be a huge foot/leg. Neither the pata or the calderata came with rice so it was a lot of meat. The calderata was subtle in flavor and they offered this salty dark condiment to season it, and it helped. Our favorite dish was the rice meal, the garlic rice was so flavorful and the chicken skewers were cooked perfectly, nice and tender. We didn't see our waiter when we were done so we helped ourselves to the take out containers. read more

I went to a friend's party one time and liked their food. She had mentioned she ordered from them, so I got food from them on my daughters bday back in April. I ordered their 5 medium party trays: pancit, pork sisig, tofu and green beans, kaldereta, and chicken adobo. The servings were pretty generous and very good, so even my Latino guests were raving and asking for the recipes, thinking I made them. Lol, nope, told them Almuchow has the recipe. Will reorder again at my next party for sure. read more

Love the new location. I definitely think the food deserves a wider audience. The interior is nice and simple, chill vibes. The service was also great. The wait staff checked on us while we ate our food but they did not hover. The food had the same great flavors as when they were at their original location. The one thing I would say is that I wish there were more bagnet pieces especially with the price going up. But it was still cooked really well. They also served a good amount of tapa in the tapsilog. All in all I would definitely go back and try their other offerings. read more

Enjoyed the brunch buffet! First time trying a lot of different Filipino dishes. Stand outs were the garlic rice, tocino, longanisa, and bangus. And a special shout out to the eggs! Perfectly cooked. Gooey inside and firm egg white. Went well with the garlic rice. And washed it down with the refreshing peach tea. Will be back again! read more

We ordered the longsilog and tapsilog and both were delicious. Longsilog came with garlic rice, skinless longanisa and eggs. The tapsilog was yummy it was kinda like beef steak as the tapa is on the wetter side instead of dry tapa. It is small inside with about 4 tables. Friendly staff. We'll come back again. read more

We were too hungry we forgot to take pictures! I got the combo item with bagnetsilog and the pork was super crunchy and delicious (especially with the spicy vinegar) and their delicious garlic fried rice. I also had a craving for lumpia and got an order too. On the way out I grabbed one of their ginataang mais (coconut milk + corn) desserts and enjoyed the cold refreshing treat on the drive home (not too sweet!). Will definitely be back when I am craving some filipino breakfast. read more

Amazing Filipino Food! Tried the Silog mainly and the garlic rice is amazing! Tried the tocino, tapa, and the lumpia, all were amazing, though I have to say the Tapa is the stand out. Soft, delicious and not too salty. The area is big, in a good location. The ambience is on point, they play some good music. 10/10 would come again. read more

I give them 1 STAR now i used to be a regular cust of the almuchow. They moved to Amar location. I picked up an order of stapsilog. To My surprise. it was in a small box and the serving was 1/3 of the original serving b4 they moved. The quality and amt of food became small and so BAD! what happened? they moved to the new place and the food was not worth ordering. Don't go here. their quality has gone DOWN. Waste of money. they didnt maintain their quality when they're in Valinda. Typical Pnoy style in food service. Sad. Typical pinoy food business-- only good at the beginning. read more

This is a gem of a find if you like Filipino food. First time being here. Ordered the longsilog, tocilog and kare kare. The si logs were good...I especially like the flavors of both the longganisa and tocino. Tocino was slightly tougher but still good. The kare kare with the crispy beignet did not disappoint. Ample parking space at the plaza, price is a bit more than anticipated although they have decent portions. Place is small - enough for 12 diners only so big groups would not be recommended. Although good service, kitchen is a bit slow with the orders. Overall, still a great find, off the beaten path of Amar/seafood city. read more

Decent food. Got some lumpia on the side, but it was too salty. We got the tapsilog, which was pretty good (7.5/10). Loved the eggs and garlic rice. We also got the tocilog (pork) and the meat was too tough, jaw was hurting chewing it (6/10). Don't know if I would come again. Service was alright, no long waits or anything. read more

VERY UNHEALTHY!!!!! Service was too slow...with only like 5 customers! When we asked for coffee 'cuz coffee dispenser was already empty.... You need to bugged them before they'll refill it!

My husband and I ordered takeout from this restaurant. I'm always on the hunt for a go-to Filipino spot since I'm further away from family. I found this place after a quick google and yelp search. It's a smaller place but there are some tables for a few people to eat their food at the restaurant. Our pickup was super easy and the people there were very friendly and quick for our transaction. The food itself was delicious. I ordered pancit bihon, bagnet (ala carte), side of rice, lumpiang shanghai and spamsilog. The pancit was cooked perfectly and once the lemon was added, it was a perfect balance of acidity and savory. I liked how crunchy and salty the bagnet was; it paired perfectly with the rice and "mang tomas" sauce. My husband liked the spamsilog, but wished there were more spam slices. The lumpia was crunchy and delicious. The only complaint I have is that the food is on the pricier end. We paid about $70 for everything which is a lot for Filipino food. The portions were at least larger so it made up for some of the price. read more

I don't have Filipino food often but decided to give this place a try. It was smaller than I thought so seating is limited with only four tables. Most people come in for takeout but we dined in. Their menu had a good amount of options to choose from especially from their rice dishes and I chose the Bagnetsilog. Their Bagnetsilog has fried lechon, garlic fried rice, and sunny side up eggs and some sauce. The portion size was good and there were giant pieces of the fried lechon. The dish had so much flavor that I could not stop myself from devouring it. It's a heavier meal for sure so you need to come hungry. It's also more affordable than most places so I would definitely come again and try their other dishes as well. read more

Saw all the great reviews decided to give it a try. It was alright. Place is small so it's best to takeout, parking is decent. I got the lechon and tapas combo. The lechon was thick and big but also very fatty. Taking a big bite of it all I got was fat and it was semi dry. The rice was cooked perfectly along with the eggs. The tapa was decent, but nothing to rave about. Service was alright. What got me was that it seemed that They have a reward system with your number. When I went to enter it, they put their own personal number in for the rewards. Not sure what that was about. read more
