    I would say more like 4.5 stars. The prices seemed a little too high. I dined in. And the music was really nice. The booth that I sat in felt sturdy and the environment was clean. The dishes were attractive, plated well, and very tasty. I was surprised at how many options there were for vegetarian things. And they were all good. The food was ready in a timely manner and all the ingredients seemed fresh. Very original flavors(at least to me). I recommend this spot. It's definitely worth trying. I was going to get a dessert and ended up having a meal.

    Jerk chicken Jerk Plate

    Ventura has lots of hidden gems, and this is definitely one of them. I was curious about Caribbean & Filipino fusion, and was surprised to find a place like this in Ventura county of all places. We came for a later dinner about 1 hour before closing. There was no music, so it didn't have that fun and lively vibe I read everyone else talking about but that was bad timing on our part. We ordered the adobo chicken wings, jerk chicken plate, and vegetable pancit. The chicken wings were probably my favorite dish- loaded with flavor. The veggie pancit exceeded my expectations. There were lots of veggies loaded and it was a nice dish to balance out our heavier meat dishes. I was most excited about the jerk chicken plate, but was a little disappointed. While the chicken was tasty, it was a bit cold. The rice and peas was delicious! I didn't particularly care for the cole slaw. They do allow you to swap the cole slaw for plantains, but unfortunately they didn't have any left. I think I would've had a better experience if I came earlier in the day, so I'll have to try that out next time!

    Yum!!! Tried this restaurant for the first time and will definitely be returning. Not only was the food delicious, but the restaurant was very clean and the staff were super friendly. I ordered the oxtail stew which was so flavorful, it came with rice/beans and a salad. I put the oxtail broth over the rice and it was heavenly. The salad was fresh and the dressing on it was super tasty. Can't wait to return and try more menu items.

    My first time ordering food from here and it wont be my last. Excellent selection of vegan food and the quality/flavor was awesome. I ordered the cauliflower burger and vegetable lumpia. I recommend this restaurant when you are in the area. I travel for work and will be visiting again.

    Spinach Jamaican Pattie was so good

    So happy to have some authentic Caribbean flava in VC! The restaurant is colorful and fun. They have something for everyone on the menu. The veggie spinach patty was flavorful and buttery. The jerk portobello was unique and satisfying. There's so many other items on the menu I want to try. I can't wait to come back.

    The oxtail stew was sensational! It is a must try because the flavors are spot on. My wife had the barbecue pork skewers and they were also very good. Highly recommend this place to anyone in the area.

    Jerk chicken Roti Wrap
    Monica S.

    The owner was patient while we decided what we wanted to order. We went with a chicken curry roti, jerk chicken roti and a halo halo to go. It didn't take long before our order was complete and we took off to the beach to enjoy our food. The halo halo was good with the ube ice cream and flan. I couldn't finish it all, it's a generous size. It did have a lot of plantain so if that's not your thing you may not enjoy this. The curry chicken roti was delicious sand hit the spot. You can really taste the curry and it's a lot of good. I had it for two meals. The jerk chicken was excellent too, not too spicy just the right amount for it to be enjoyable. I'd love to try their other dishes.

    I found out about this restaurant as it's sister restaurant in Oxnard, The Haven is closing October 1,2023! Happy I checked them out. Great customer service. It's a casual sit down eatery. You order at the counter and choose your seat. I got jerk tri tip, lumpias, and kids pancit all for a reasonable price.

    So delicious! I ordered the chicken pancit and he ordered the steak plate. The chicken breast pieces were perfectly seasoned, and the carrots with green beans were in a tasty sauce over the noodles.. perfection! His steak was cooked perfectly, served with rice and beans! What we were surprised by was how much we loved the coleslaw.. because we don't even like coleslaw!!! We have been coming here for years, everything is always so good.. including the kindest service, check it out!

    FILIPINO PORK BBQ with a Spicy Slaw and White Rice

    This place rocks! It is a nice, colorful, and clean establishment. The lady working the register was very sweet and went out of her way to be friendly and helpful to our group. Everything we ordered was extremely tasty! There was lots of variety on the menu, so it was so hard to choose what to try. Our group ended up ordering Filipino pork BBQ, goat curry, curry jerk fries, jerk triptip sandwiches, plantains, salmon salad, and desserts.They give you big portions and everything was cooked and flavored perfectly. I highly recommend not skipping the desserts. We ordered the halo-halo and cassava pie, and both were exceptional. This place is definitely a hidden gem in Ventura!

    This was my first time trying this spot and the staff were super helpful! Also, the inside is super clean and nicely decorated. I tried the jerk chicken pasta which was really tasty and a good portion. Definitely was a great introduction and I can't wait to try out this place more in the future.

    We were in town vacationing and my husband found this gem by searching for vegan friendly restaurants. We had the best experience! The owner was amazing and so so friendly. She had great recommendations and we loved every single thing we ate. It was my son's first time having Caribbean food and it is now one of his favorites! He absolutely loved the pineapple tofu and the rice, and surprised me by loving the coleslaw salad also! My husband loved his jerk chicken and we all loved the cassava pie! Can't wait to visit when we're in the area again.

    After a 3 hour walk/shopping at the Premium Outlet, we decided to have a late lunch here. My SO have been here a lot and he's been raving about the food. Upon entering, we were greeted enthusiastically and welcomed. I ordered the Famous Rasta Pasta with Chicken. Pasta is cooked to perfection, well seasoned and the spice is just the right amount. It was a lot so I took home half of it. We even ordered one to go. My SO ordered the Jerk Burger. He is a burger type of guy so he finished it in no time. The fries are piping hot and crispy on the outside but soft inside. I will surely come back for more and will try the other items on the menu. I chatted with the server and mentioned that they have another restaurant with live performances. That's something to check it out when I am in the area. Casual and you can sit anywhere. Ample parking.

    Foods great. Recommend the oxtail curry or goat curry. The concept of Filipino-Caribbean was exceptional and refreshing.

We stopped at Camarillo Outlets to try and kill time since our Air B&B is not ready until late afternoon. I looked to see if there are any Filipino food spots in the area and I found Lola Betty's. We ordered the short rib plate and the Tasilog plate and lumpia Shanghai- washed it down with Calamansi juice. Everything was delicious, 10/10. The owner came out to check on us and she was so kind, hospitable and shared some history with us on how Lola Betty's came to be. From food truck to walk up, she said that some people really preferred or hoped for a sit down restaurant. I don't have a preference. I only love the soul and passion that is poured into one's food. Love, soul and passion can be found here. The owner says, "I just really wanted a place where you can really be attentive and really take the time to cook the food the way it should be made". I can tell that she loves what she does and she thanked us for trying their food. I wanted to thank HER for feeding us! If I forgot to thank her, here it is. This place is worth a stop if you're smart.

The pricing is fair, portions are generous, and overall the food was good. As a fellow Filipino, I would love to see a little more variety on the menu since it currently focuses on the basics. From a business standpoint, especially considering the location and customer base, I understand keeping things simple. The only dish I wasn't a huge fan of was the Tapsilog, as the meat was a bit salty for my taste. The Longsilog was much better, and I loved that they included a small puto (rice cake) with the meal. Overall, a great experience and worth a visit.

    Super happy that we have a seafood city in the 805. I have been on the late train of checking this…read morespot out but finally made it in today for a grocery run. I'd been doing Instacart orders from them but first time physically inside this weekend to check them out. The inside was super super clean. Major points there! In the time I was shopping around they had plenty of staff working, floors being mopped and all of the aisles were well organized and pretty. This market is a pretty standard Asian goods focused grocery store. I found about 85% of what I wanted here. I wish they had a premium sushi section and some more Hawaiian imported goods (aside from juices and sauces) but otherwise I was able to find everything I was looking for. Their hot bar is also solid. A wide selection of items to pick and I felt the pricing was reasonable. Actually throughout the whole store the prices are good compared to other grocery stores right now. I had a full bag of items for $50, good luck elsewhere getting those kinds of prices. I didn't have too much of an interaction with the staff while there, but again, lots of people working and keeping this spot in tip top shape. Also the woman working the register who checked me out was very nice. A great supermarket and I'll definitely be back more often now since checking them out.

My friend and I arrived at 8pm, checked into the event with a free ticket she downloaded from another app (I unfortunately for got the name of the app). It was pretty busy already with folks enjoying the DJ's tunes, filipino food and overall vibes. I bought the traditional Halo halo dessert (see my pic) and it was decent. Through out the night there was free gifts, contests and lots of dancing. Overall fun family event to enjoy. Seafood City is located in a strip mall. Lots of free parking. I occasionally shop here for speciality asian items that I couldn't find at Island Pacific. Prices are a bit steeper here. Service is decent here, for both the food court and supermarket.
