Food: so glad I found this place. Can we talk about the sisig!! It's amazing!! A must to pre-order or you are missing out. Everything is freshly made! Service is amazing very down to earth. If you pay cash there is a discount. They do take credit card payments. This is the only Filipino restaurant I found in Monrovia that is fresh and homemade read more

So grateful to have wonderful Filipino food so close to me in the SGV community! I'm picky about sisig, my favorite Filipino food, and even opt to make it myself sometimes because of my standards. Lucky me that the sisig here is so good! It's the owner's recipe and the owner was kind enough to offer a sample of adobo sauce to pour over rice, and put chicharron pieces on top of the sisig as well. I love a Filipino business that is passionate about sharing culture with the community, and I can't wait to continue coming back. read more

My fiancé and I always pass by Art's Kitchen, and say "we gotta go there!" but forget. So glad we finally remembered and did it! We both love Filipino food for its warmth and flavor, and Art's Kitchen met the mark. We got to try a lot of their dishes: Pancit Bihon, Lechon Kawali sisig, Filipino Pork Adobo, and Mechado Filpino Pork Stew, with a container of rice. Only thing we didn't get to try was their lumpia, so we already know we will have to try that next time! I found myself reaching for the Pancit Bihon again and again, which is a thin vermicelli noodle with chicken and veggies. It had the perfect satisfying bite to it and a subtle flavor. It was the perfect pairing to all the other dishes! Haha, I'll even eat this noodle just with rice. As far as their meat dishes, I loved their Lechon Kawali. The texture was so fun to eat - crispy on the outside, and tender pork belly on the inside. I'm talking crispy like so crispy and crunchy. The texture had a crackling crisp crunch to it! Art's Kitchen is a great take-out place and a well-priced for what you get for food in the area. We'll definitely be back to pick up more goodies, especially their sisig and pancit! read more

By far my favorite Filipino place in SGV. It's cafeteria style and their combos are a great deal! The 2 item combo is easily enough food for 2 people. Their menu rotates so make sure to check out their Insta page for the daily menu. Highly recommend the dinuguan, adobo, laing, and menudo. Get there early for the best selection. Also, they sell lumpia but you need to call ahead of time since they fry them fresh. read more

Art's Kitchen - 2 two item combos with sinigang, curry, adobo, dinuguan, and lechon. - Filipino Near Me - Duarte, California

Second time trying this place and it's been pretty solid both times. The food is decent overall. The chicken adobo was boneless, which you don't see too often, so that was a nice plus. It had really good flavor too. The lechon kawali was cut into smaller pieces and the texture was super crunchy. Definitely a satisfying dish. read more

This has been my go-to spot for Filipino food when I feel like cooking one myself would be too much They have such good Filipino food (Yes, it seems pricey because we can make it at home) But compared to other overpriced spots, their food is a lot less greasy and you can actually tell the quality of their food is better! I've tried a few from them including their sisig which is my fave and sells out quickly. It's a 'premium' item and not included in the combo so I always get a one item combo with sinigang or sometimes mechado But I do want to put you on their new dish, which surprised me because it's so uncommon to find 'Chicken Inasal' here Also, get their buko pandan, I regret not getting them today but I'll get it next time lol Anyways, I'm not getting paid for this review lol but their staff has been always nice to me too which I appreciate Note: Parking in the plaza can get packed, but street parking should be fine read more

This place slaps. I may be biased with Filipino food, but this is better than 90% of places I've had in the area. Would definitely go back read more

What can I say but COMFORT FILIPINO FOOD!!!! This place calls your inner child, waiting for Lola to finish cooking (in this case, kuya Art) The food was so good and savory.

Food is always so delish . Their staffs are always very friendly and ready to give great service.

First time ordering from Art's. Ordered 50 lumpia which were ready in 15 minutes. They were smaller (shorter) than expected but very good and I would order them again. Also tried the chicken curry which was a little bland for my taste. read more

On the real their chicken adobo is bombski!!!! This was my first time. I bought a three item plate but chose to Get chicken adobo for all three items. I love how they strain their chicken adobo of the physical seasoning like peppercorn's and bay leaf. I also loved the fact that the chicken was deboned so you had nothing but chicken and adobo saucy goodness. The service was friendly and informative. I took the gentleman's suggestion and it hit the spot!!! He was a young buck but had them skills to slang that chicken. I will definitely be back because I want to try the crispy pork belly that they sell and the teriyaki chicken looked bomb as well. I didn't get the teriyaki chicken because I wanted more than was available. The chicken adobo that they had when I walked in was basically their last fresh batch of adobo. So I took advantage. It's a small spot so people get it to go unless you're by yourself and really hungry. Even though I only been here once I definitely think it was worthy of recommending it to others. He said they post their daily menu on facebook. They also do catering and have a physical menu for catering in house. I gave them a try I think you should as-well. Peace! read more

Food is good. Authentic Filipino tasting food.. Place is clean. People are friendly enough.

Ordered through Uber eats and all food arrived fresh and very delicious. Teriyaki chicken was delicious full of flavor, Lechon was crispy and flavorful and the Lumpia was amazing. read more

I have been to this restaurant a couple of times and always had the 2 item combo (doesnt include a drink). Today was a little different as they only had a a couple of items for a combo which was still 16$, was first told only 4 dollars to upgrade to a premium item been then was told i had to buy the whole side separately for 15 dollars each and couldn't upgrade. Combo and 2 extra premium sides, 50 dollar lunch. read more

Art's Kitchen - (Top left, clockwise) Sisig, Pares, Pork Adobo, Pork Sinigang to go. - Filipino Near Me - Duarte, California

I was very excited to try this place and I was excited for delicious food. The employees were so nice, and I hate to make a low star review, but this is my experience. I ordered the tendon a la cart. I was craving something salty and sweet, and I love tendon, so I figured this would be perfect. While I appreciate the intense flavors, and super tender tendon, the juice was almost inedible salty and sweet. It almost tasted like salted candy. I ate it little by little, but I could not eat in one sitting because of how concentrated those flavors were. I'm afraid to say it was close to being inedible. Mixing it with rice helped, but on its own, it was completely overpowering. I also ordered pork adobo. That was not sweet, but same issue with salt. Keep in mind, I'm a "salty" person. So, I love, love, love salt, and It was too much for me. I barely ate 1/2 portion of each and I finished a water bottle to help stay hydrated from the salt, and I was still thirsty. Food seemed fresh and homemade! It would have been perfect if seasoning was better executed. read more

Years ago, I came by during lunch time. I ordered the pork adobo and the sinigang soup. It was so good. I never forgot the taste. I wish it can be closer to me so I can get it more often. I was really craving adobo and sinigang soup today so I drove about 30 minutes here. The place still looked the same. I decided to get the 3 items combo. The pork adobo, chicken adobo and sinigang soup. It came with rice or pancit. I love rice lol The flavors were the same. Still good as before. Service was also great like back in the days. This is probably the only place I go to for sinigang and adobo so good! read more

The food is pretty good. It gets very packed during lunchtime and you better Make sure that you order before noon if you'd like to try the full menu that they offer for that day. Speaking of menu, it is not consistent. They have specialties every day and if you have a Facebook, they put their menu up so you don't have to call and ask them one by one, but they will gladly tell you what the menu is if you call them. They cater and even get food delivered via either DoorDash or Uber eats have to double check, but they were able to deliver hospital. Most importantly, the food they offer is very tasty and very authentic. The seating area is quite small, but it doesn't take long to eat Filipino fast food and every time I go I always have space to eat. Lastly, they have different desserts as well. They offer the Connelly brand ice cream in qt carton containers. read more

Stopped in for a quick meal before heading back home. The adobo, pancit and dinuguan were very good, the lechon was my favorite! The owner let us sample their grilled teriyaki chicken which was also really yummy! Will definitely stop by here again when we are in town. Thanks Art! read more

I'm picky when it comes to Filipino food, but so far this place might be my favorite place to get Filipino food! I'm from Orange County so tried a variety of places including West Covina. Everything is flavorful and they give you a lot more protein than other places... I always find other places give me more veggies to fill the containers but not this place. Their customer service is top tier! They are very attentive and offer suggestions. So if it's your first time here they can help you find what you might like. The place is very clean and orderly as well. I will be coming back and recommending this place to my family! read more

They are nice and welcoming! I was craving fried bangus (aka milkfish) and I wanted to try this mom and pop shop since it's near me. I got that with a combo of rice and munggo. Thank you Kuya Art for giving me a a small sample of sisig! I will definitely try to order that next time! And also, thank you for the pancit! They only had one hour left before closing so Kuya gave me a small box. Salamat po! I'll be back again! read more

I drove quite a bit to Art's to try their lechon. The cashier was very friendly, but the lechon was very dry. It was definitely not fresh and the photo attached shows what was inedible. The half of the lechon that was edible was quite appetizing and the skin was delicious. If you're able to get a freshly roasted part filled with fatty goodness, then it'll probably be a four to five star review. Unfortunately, I was not as blessed. read more

This place was so good! My parents haven't had Filipino food before, and this was the closest place that had Filipino food, so we decided to try it out for my dad's birthday. Guys - my Asian dad is one of the most difficult people to impress on how food tastes. To give you an example, we had a two-meal birthday celebration, and the first meal was Sugarfish and he said it was "ok". But Art's Kitchen managed to get a "that was pretty good" out of him, and he even had a bunch of favorite dishes! His favorites were the sisig, menudo, and pork adobo. My mom LOVED their pancit. My boyfriend's favorite was the sisig as well. And my favorite were the lechon and the pork adobo as well. BUT EVERYTHING WAS SO DANG GOOD. No one had a least favorite dish because it was just so tasty. I'll definitely have to come back when I'm back in town. Also did I mention how worth it this place is?! So much delicious food for not that much money! read more

we've done catering from art's for their lumpia two times. for the amount you get, the price is super reasonable. plus whenever we do catering, they're so sweet! they even helped bring it out to my car! not to mention it's hot + delicious. aside from catering, their regular take out is just as good. i love their ginataang kalabasa + their kaare kaare! there's not a lot of filipino food in the SGV or around this area, so i'm grateful for art's! read more

A great local Filipino family owned restaurant. Dishes are served cafeteria style and really meant for to go orders although there are some bar style seating. Dishes are different every day and they post on their Facebook page each morning what the menu will be. This is good and bad, as they may or may not have your fav dish on a given day but it also makes it a little more special when they do. I've personally eaten here about ten times and love the food and authentic Filipino taste. We've also done the catering which has been great (even once did a day of order and they were able to accommodate). The front cashier / server is super friendly and will help you figure out what to order. Typically I get 2 item order which includes 2 protein options and rice/pancit. Definitely recommend giving them a try! read more

Came around 12 pm for lunch and the customer service was great. Fyi they only make lumpia if you order 25 pieces or more. The lechon kiwali was freaking delicious. It is sold by the pound (you can order 1/2 pound). They have lunch that come with 1-3 items but the lechon kiwali is not included and is sold by pound. We ordered the chicken adobo, pork adobo, half rice and half pancit (philipino stir fried noodles) and also sweet and sour fish filet. They did not have any sisig on a friday. The selection is a little limited. We also ordered a halo-halo for around $6. The halo halo is a must get and so is the lechon kiwali. I also really liked the pork adobo! Great affordable fresh food!!! read more

I came here in October so it had just opened for about a month. There weren't really any other Filipino food options in the area while we were visiting so decided to give this place a try. It's a turo turo (point point) place and the decor is more modern and clean looking. They serve everything to you in the styrofoam take out containers on a red tray. We had the dinuaguan, tinola, pancit, sisig, and monga. Everything was pretty good to me but my husband just thought it was okay (he's Filipino American). He thinks the food lacked texture and seasoning but worked for his craving. read more

Today we supported our local business by ordering our food to go for our daughter's 21st birthday. We ordered a few combo items for our noonday meal and it was all so delicious! Pork Adobo, Sisig, crispy oats, of course pancit! Edward helped us out over the phone and got our orders ready for our noon pick up. Every thing was ready when I got there. I was even able to add some barbecue stick/ and inihaw na baboy. Porky goodness! One of the things we ordered was the Emo todo which was so good. I'm not serving all this by the way, we are are also sharing it with my mom and dad since they're in isolation. If you're in the mood for some outstanding Pinoy food and service, call Art's Kitchen from Monday through Saturday for your to go needs. We highly recommend this little hole in the wall, a local business that deserves our patronage. read more

Food is good. Service is good. Small shop, friendly people. Would recommend for quality Filipino food.

Art's Kitchen, newly opened since September, took over Kabayan Restaurant. Found in the same small plaza as Duarte Chamber, specifically next door to Wang's Beauty Salon. This plaza is across the street from Sushi Fire. Art's Kitchen's set up is similar to Asian fast food eateries in which you can chose what hot food items you would like via combination or a la carte. There is also a dining room in case you wish to dine in. I came here with my husband last Monday, a few minutes after 4 pm. There was one gentleman ahead of us and a couple that came in shortly after us. After looking at the options, I ended up getting: Small order of pancit, $4.99 prior to tax- Tasty and appreciated that it was not salty (as I have been to other restaurants where it is). Great size to share with 3 people. 2 items $8.50- With this combination, it came with 2 scoops of steamed white rice. I picked chicken adobo and chicken curry. Both chicken dishes have bones (figured I would make mention) and come with a fair amount of chicken. I liked the adobo with the sauce used and potato. The chicken curry was hearty and liked some of the vegetables added. 3 items $10.50- My husband opted for 3 food items, that also came with 2 scoops of steamed rice. He picked pork adobo, pork afritado and one beef item. Unfortunately the food items are not labeled and so I don't know what beef dish we had, but the employee helping us did tell us what meat the items were when we pointed and asked. ----------------------- (Total= $26.27 after tax) I am no stranger to Filipino food, since I actually had a Filipino baby sitter when I was young. I ate plenty of chicken adobo (my favorite), milk fish, lumpia, pork sisig and pancit (don't even get me started on the desserts). I like that food here seems to be made a little healthier than similar Filipino fast food eateries, which I appreciate, with less fat and salt. Portion sizes are definitely plenty. We had enough for 6 meals with the food that we purchased. Art's Kitchen is definitely a hidden gem and will definitely be back to try other food items, including dessert. read more
