I placed my order through DoorDash and went to the restaurant for pickup. As soon as I walked in, the place felt open, spacious, and very clean. The staff had my order ready right on time, which made the pickup quick and easy. I tried the Thai tea boba first, and that's when I knew this place was going to be good. When the milk tea is made right, you can tell the food will be just as good. The Thai tea was honestly one of the best I've had. Coming from someone who's tried Thai tea all over Los Angeles, this definitely matched that level. Then I tried the chicken katsudon, and it instantly became comfort food for me. It was flavorful, fresh, and so satisfying. This is easily one of the best comfort food spots I've found in Ridgecrest, and it truly reminds me of the quality restaurants back in LA County. Highly recommend -- I'll definitely be coming back! read more

We were surprised to see a Filipino restaurant on the way to Death Valley so we knew we wanted to try it out! It definitely is more of a hole in the wall vibe, which to me usually is a sign of good food. There was a steady flow of people who came in to order after us so seems like a pretty popular spot. We got the ube milk drink with boba. Had a nice amount of ube paste on the cup as you can see, they did not skimp out on it! Nice milky ube flavor after mixing. We ordered the pork lumpia, chicken pancit and lechonsilog (garlic rice plate). Everything was made to order so it was nice and fresh! Lumpia were nice and crispy, good pork flavor and on the salty side but paired well with the sweet chili sauce. The chicken and veggie pancit was freshly off the wok, even 10-15 mins into the meal it was still hot! It also was on the salty side with peppery flavor. The lechon was crunchy and cut into nice 1-2 bite pieces. The garlic rice tasted more like pepper than garlic to me, wish it had a little more garlic flavor. Overall the food was just a bit on the salty/peppery side for me, but otherwise seemed like a good place for classic Filipino food. Their menu also had other things like pho, katsu, loco moco so has different options for everyone! read more

PSA: You can find legit, soul-hugging Filipino food in the middle of the desert -- yes, Ridgecrest, California. If you're cruising along the 395 and your stomach starts singing sad songs, pull off and come here immediately. This spot was hands-down the most unique and appetizing restaurant I found in the area, and it absolutely delivered. They serve homestyle soups like tinola manok that taste like they were cooked by someone's very loving auntie. If you're a sinigang fan they might have that too. Comforting, and deeply satisfying especially if you feel under the weather -- and exactly what you want after hours of desert driving. Bonus points: they also have boba slushie-style drinks, including Ube. Perfect when it gets hot out here. This place feels like a hidden food gem and oasis in the Mojave. Highly recommend for good food on your way to outdoor adventures or if you live in Ridgecrest. read more

Lumpia, adobo, especially lechon and their specials. A true taste from the Philippines. Nice counter staff too ! Did I mention they even have soju ? Cheers and Salamat Po. read more

After a hard days work it was time for some good food. Fired up yelp to see what was around and caught this Filipino restaurant nearby. It is located in a shopping plaza near an Albertsons in a back corner. When you go inside there is some seating in case you wanted to dine in. I just wanted to order and eat back at the hotel. I wanted to try something simple to see how it was. Ended up ordering the chicken pancit and a 5 piece pork lumpia. Everything is made to order so there will be a wait just in case you are in a rush. Total time waiting was around 15 min. I could feel the heat coming through the styrofoam and bag so at least I knew it was fresh. When I finally opened it up I was delighted to see how much food there was, well worth the price. The food was still hot and in fact I actually had to let it cool down before I could eat it. The pork lumpia was good but combined with the sauce made it even better. Once the main food cooled down enough I ate about half and saved the rest for later. Now, I normally eat a lot so for me to save some speaks volumes to just how much they give you. Taste wise it was ok, nothing spectacular but I enjoyed that it was fresh and hot. Check this place out if you're tired of fast food and you'll be surprised. read more

I'm not sure what happened to this place... egg rolls cooked till black and I'm not even sure what the dish was I normally order. The meat was literally stringy and absolutely no flavor read more

I don't think I'll be coming back here after asking for a substitution for my order and getting the shits shortly after, which is a phenomenon upon itself considering I eat out often and can't remember the last i had the runs. I knew someone was awry but brushed it off when I had to repeat myself several times to the bewildered cashier and then again to the lady that was working in the back if I can have my ordered changed. The body language and attitude was a dead giveaway of something sinister. I don't think it's a coincidence and will no longer be supporting this business. read more

At 2pm on a Saturday, the restaurant was expectedly slow. Appears to be a mom and pop store. Lechon and garlic rice were absolutely delicious - they were cooked to order. There were about 9x 4-seat tables. Drinks looked refreshing, but we didn't order any. There was a row of Filipino snacks available for purchase. Wished they had Sisig. read more

Things have definitely improved and we've been coming here a lot in the past year. Yesterday they had a new coffee drink on the menu, which I was particularly happy to see. The coffee jelly cold brew ($5.45) tasted a lot like Vietnamese iced coffee, which is great. The jelly chunks are large, and rather firm (compared to other jellies we've had), which means it doesn't really work with a boba straw. I think they should work on making the jelly a bit softer/smaller so you can drink it. The fact that they only offer one size of drink means I had leftovers for the next day, cuz these drinks are huge. We've been trying just about everything on the menu, and have liked it all except the fries because they're always extremely salty (not exaggerating). The ladies who work here are all very nice and helpful. read more

Only tried and came for the Lechon law Ali and was very pleased with it. It was cooked to order and the flavor and texture was . Honestly didint have high expectations given this desert area But ngl I'm definitely gonna frequent this place more often given a great first impression from the Lechon . We also tried their boba. Passion fruit green tea and the ube milk. The drinks themselves were ehh ok but the boba was actually pretty solid. Great texture, and not hard or slimey and old. Not sure how long this place has been around and if COVID had any affects on it and their current operations but this place definitely has great potential read more

We were visiting my brother and wanted Filipino food. We came across Bahay Kubo. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the person behind the counter. They were very helpful by helping us select what entrees were moat popular. Everything we tried was very savory and delicious. They also have a small selection of snacks you can purchase and really amazing boba drinks. read more

**Bahay Kubo never disappoints!** I brought my mom here during her visit, and she was pleasantly surprised -- Filipino mom approved! But it's not just the food that's amazing--the drinks are equally impressive. The brown sugar milk tea has quickly become one of our favorites. Highly recommend this gem! read more

Tasty Filipino food in the small town of Ridgecrest?! I mean, who would have thunk it?! This place is simply delicious! Came here for dinner after leaving Death Valley, and my oh my was I impressed! This is kind of a hole in the wall spot located at the end of a random shopping center. Very clean interior and super sweet and helpful staff. The food is ordered cafeteria style where you pick and choose from pre-cooked entrees that are set in buffet style food warmers. They offer popular Filipino (and Asian fusion) food items such as adobo, tocino, sinigang, lumpia, lechon, and etc. They also make boba tea here and apparently this is the only spot in town that does. The prices are really reasonable and they give you big food portions. I ordered a two entree combo with lechon, chicken adobo, garlic rice, a side of lumpia, and a Thai iced tea. It ain't anything fancy, but dayum was this food delicious! That LECHON!!! The BEST thang on the plate. It was so incredibly crispy on the outside. And when I bit into it, the pork was nice and tender. They fried that lechon kawali to absolute perfection! The lumpia was the next best item on the plate, and it too was fried perfectly. It had that perfect lovable crunch every time I bit into it, and it was very flavorful. The garlic rice was nice and fluffy. The only thing I didn't really care for too much was the chicken adobo. Although I enjoyed the flavor, it was too dry for me. I honestly don't why I ordered chicken adobo when I usually get pork. I think I just didn't want to overload my plate with pork since I already had the lechon. I think they use chicken breasts for their chicken adobo. I imagine that the pork adobo would be juicier, but I digress. The Thai tea was tasty too, but they didn't fill my cup all the way to the top and I felt jipped. Aside from the dryish chicken adobo and the under-filled Thai tea cup, this meal was really good. I actually tried to come back again the next day but they had already closed. They close at 7 pm which I feel is quite early. But for it being in such a small town like this, it actually makes sense. I don't know if or when I'd be back in this area again. But if I ever do come back, you best believe that I'll be snaggin' some yummy Filipino food from this spot again. read more

Don't order the chow menu. So bad. I ordered the lumpia and noodle. I usually prefer the garlic rice but you don't have that option when order online so I got the noddle. I will not order the lumpia or the noodle ever again. The lumpia was dried and salty. The noodle, OMG... so salty and sour. I think they just use soy sauce to marinate it. I tried to add lots of fried egg, stir fried onion and add some sugar but couldn't make it edible. Still so salty. Do they not taste the food when they cook to make sure it's ok? Last time I ordered pho and the soup tasted like salt water. This time the noodle tasted like salt. They really need to work on cutting it down by half the amount cause it's so hard to eat. read more

This is our favorite place to get takeout. Great food and decent milk tea. Our favorites are the Pork Adobo, Sweet Cured Chicken, and the lumpia but everything is good. Their milk teas tend to be very sweet so I would ask for less sweet. The staff has always been very kind and the restaurant is very clean. My only complaint is they close at 6pm so we often can't go for dinner. read more

Food was old and stale. Had to throw out my delivery order. A total waste of time and money.

Great point point Filipino fast food. Most items are already prepared and sitting out for you to point at the dishes you wish to devour. Some dishes are cooked after ordering. Be sure to look at the menu and not just what's out on display. Social distancing is practiced. Didn't need to use restrooms so no clue on that matter. Parking lot is a large shared lot that I doubt gets busy enough to worry about finding a spot. Order the 2-item combo: garlic fried rice, ampalaya, and lechon. Was hungrier than I thought and ended up eating it all in one sitting. #fatfilipinokidstatus Note: They had an empty sanitizer bottle out. So if worried about the virus, then bring your own. read more

We don't get through Ridgecrest very often except when driving to/from So. Cal. It's a great place to take a driving break. Yelp led us to this place - Very tasty and filling Filipino and Hawaiian dishes, and lots of yummy Boba tea flavors. I had the adoba and it was very flavorful. We would definitely come back. read more

This is one of the few places in Ridgecrest where you can get solid Asian food. Friendly service and clean establishment. They portions are generous. However, don't be surprised if there's stuff out of stock. It's hard to get a lot of these ingredients and there were a couple items I wanted to try and they said they didn't get supplies in. Bummer. read more

Just outstanding authentic and fresh food. Better or as good as anything you can get in the IC or LA. I had the two item combo with double scoop garlic rice. pork belly adobo and another pork dish with a coconut base sauce garnished with serano peppers, mildly spicy. Additionally I had a half order of Lechon and 5 lumpia. A+ on all dishes save for Lumpia which only get an A. I have a second home in inyokern and will def be back to this gem. read more

Came here for lunch after completing a weeks long solar service nightmare, in 100 degree heat. My experience here made it all worth it. Had a Thai tea, without boba, cause boba is disgusting. You know it, I know it, enough is enough. I ordered the chicken katsodon, pork lumpia rolls, and got a box of the hello panda snack thing. The katsodon and garlic rice was great but I thought it would be crunchy, I'm not sure if it's supposed to be, regardless it was delicious. The pork lumpia, where do I start? I wasn't ready to eat the best thing I've ever ate this morning when I woke up, so I'm having trouble finding the words. It was perfect. Only giving you five is basically criminal, I wish I would have ordered 50. All of this coupled with the fact they had Backstreet Boys greatest hits on in the background. I'm still sitting in here while writing this review jamming out. Those lumpia rolls should quit playing games with my heart, cause I live three hours away. Also someone and I don't know who has a beautiful singing voice that you can hear on occasion. It's so nice and cool inside you would have no idea you're next door to Death Valley. A million stars. Quit wasting time and go! Also, there's something about this little desert town, the people are wonderful here. I've felt like I was on vacation after work each day. I've had help yelp worthy experience in every single place I've been in over this last week. read more

I like to go here for the Tai Boba tea. It's always so good. Never tried any of the food but it looks good when I go in.

my wife is filipino so i've had my fair share of filipino food -- and we both agreed that the lechon they make here is pretty much as good as it gets anywhere. we also tried their taro milk, which i would definitely recommend, as it's probably the best one i've had outside of boracay, and specifically in discovery shores the lumpia is also worth an order if you're wanting something other than just delicious crispy pork fat; it was pretty busy when we went and everyone seemed to be ordering their korean style short ribs, so i imagine that's pretty good, given the reviews they get we otherwise tried some of their other stuff but none of it really left an impression like the lechon did. overall: some of the better filipino food i've had in america period, and at a very reasonable price. the next time we're in ridgecrest, there's no question we'll be back thank you for the meal! read more

Bulgogi was one of the dishes we ordered along with chicken adobo, longonisa, pinakbet, sinigang, and dinuguan. Legit treasure in the middle of this small town. Having grown up in SD the mecca of Filipino food I'm so glad we decided to try this out today. Everything was just a gastronomical experience. If you ever find yourself out this way...DEFINITELY give this place a try! The staff are all welcoming and friendly. I have to try their specialty drinks next time. read more

My friend and I ate here last week. First time for me, I'm not much for Filipino food. The food, the service and did I say food was amazing . A lot of food for the price. The garlic fried rice was delicious.. yeah, I know sounded weird to me too, it was bomb and the lumpia was beyond delicious!! Highly recommend this place. The girl behind the counter was the sweetest with a smile on her face the whole time! I will definitely be going back, I'm disappointed they aren't open today, but hey everyone needs days off to revamp for the week!!! read more

My first time here. Holy smokes the Lechon paksiw is awesome. I wish I lived closer- I live in Bakersfield. I would make this my go to Pinoy place. read more

Used to come here a lot, but then one day, the service was slower than usual. I figured they were just busy. Then, I came back a couple more times, and it feels like it has gotten worse. I said to myself, "I'm going to give them a break and not come for a while." Well, it's been at least a couple of months and came back. Sad to say, it didn't get any better, and the server wasn't particularly nice. I'm sure I'll be back, but it will take some time. Hopefully, they'll still be in business. read more

Ok, this place is a little hit or miss. Some food is just excellent and a lot of it is just buffet fare that's been sitting out too long. And it's a little weird that there's a menu you can order from, but every time we've been and ordered from them they're annoyed and it takes so long. But some of our favorite things are only on the menu - not on the hot buffet. The other warning I'll give is the seasoned rice is different. First few bites you may think it's not going to be good, but stick with it. It's good. For some reason it just takes a minute. My favorite part, they'll let you try things from the hot buffet. That helps someone like me who wants to try everything but isn't local. That way, every time I visit I can try something different but have confidence that I'm going to like it. read more

So glad I walked in! The food looks and smells amazing! I tried the ube milk boba drink and thoroughly enjoyed it. Can't wait to come back and try more flavors! I hope they introduce other flavors as well, like passion fruit and mango The chicken teriyaki, lechon, and beef yakisoba, are great! Be sure to get extra sauce for the lechon. The pistachio matcha boba milk is delicious, it's my favorite! The thick creaminess contrasted by the shaved ice and boba texture make it extra enjoyable. read more

The food was amazing and very fresh. They cook to order their signature dishes, however, they do have some ready-made dishes available. We found this place on the way back from camping. I would definitely come back here again and make the trek from San Diego to eat here. We ordered the Beef Mami, Beef Udon, lechon kawali, and lumpia and Chicken Teriyaki. The only thing is, if you come in the summertime they're air-conditioning is not that great (if you decide to dine in) and they have nonexistent signage at the moment of this writing. read more

It was the best lechon Kiliwa I ever had. Great service and the restaurant was clean.

First time in town and had to try "traditional" Filipino food. Came in late, scare selection which was understandable so I order a single combo plate of lechon kawali and garlic rice. The pork belly was deliciously fried but the garlic rice was a major fail. It was VERY dry and had no trace of garlic. Basic Filipino rule, never run out of rice and don't serve bad rice. Kubo sprung a leaked on the second. I'll try again to give them a chance but please fix the rice. read more

On our 12 hour drive back to Mesa, Az from Tahoe we stopped off for gas in the middle of nowhere. Imagine our surprise when we found this little gem here in Ridgecrest. My bf was so excited to see diniguan was one of the items. So excited that he chose it for both of his sides! He tried to order 20 lumpias to to but I talked him down to 10 and then had to order my own side of 5 because he announced that he would not be sharing. The diniguan was in top 3 that he's ever had. I had ground pork dish, I cant remember the name) with pork singing. The homemade longanisa was amazing too! read more
