    Baka skin. Almost gone. Too ono.
    Reyna A.

    I love this place. I've never been to the Philippines but I feel like I'm there when I'm here. The workers are super friendly ! They have all the delicacies thar my heart desires. My mom loves the ipon. She says their ipon is authentic. I don't drink alcohol but there are a lot of good pupus here for those occasions - kilawen kaldeng & baka. The worker ( young man ) said that the kilawen baka also has liver in it. He was so nice because he let us sample a piece of the baka skin. Yum ! This was my first time here & I am definitely coming back. It's great that I'll be im this area at least 3 times a month. So glad my mom discovered this place through a friend. They do not accept credit / debit payment. They only accept cash. Lots of free parking probably because it's a weekday.

    Service is amazing, workers are so welcoming and nice. Always talking story with them haha. Food is delicious as well. Indoor and outdoor seating.

    After removing the bones and cartilage, soup is so minimal.

    This is not your typical bulalo, I'm not actually quite sure if this is bulalo. If your craving Tagaytay bulalo this is not the place to get it. All bones, cartilage and hoof. No meat, no veggies, no bone marrow beef shank. After removing all the bones and cartilage from the container very minimal soup was included. For $12 including rice, it's not worth it.

    Stopped by to pick up some longanisa to bring back home but also tried a few of their dishes. The Bulalo was flavorful and full of tender pieces of meat. The pork skewers we also very tasty! Ricky was super friendly. Would come again.

    When I heard that there's a new Bulalo place in Waipahu I'm so excited to try it I love bulalo! it reminds me of my trip in Tagaytay back in the Philippines . I'm so disappointed and think this is the worst bulalo I've ever had. it's not what I'm expecting at all.

    They do have a karaoke machine and byob apparently, good small place to relax and wind down perhaps

    Not The Chosen One So heres the weird thing, I had a dream a few days ago that I had returned to this place after coming about a week ago and I gave it 2 stars. Fast forward today, Im in the area and Im thinking about going and giving it a shot again since I had it at 4 stars, but here I am thinking I dreamt I gave it 2 stars which would mean I am not going to like my 2nd visit and maybe not worth going back. But my curiousity sets in and I feel the need to confirm this premonition thru dream I have, so I decide to go, as I feel its "my destiny" Another trip to the darkside, (its literally dark there at night, miminal lighting in the vicinity) a quick stop here to see if they had the hamburger steak or pork belly skewers, 2 of the most raved about items so far but both were sadly not available. Didnt bother asking about the all day breakfast, which would been my 3rd choice, but not even a menu for the bbq sticks, I didnt bother. Same lady like last time, she looks at me no hi, no hello, no how may i help you, instead of making it more awkward i went ahead and greeted her instead. I felt bad for going there and not ordering anything, but they didnt have what I wanted, so I just got 2 bbq pork sticks again, this time they were in that large plastic container and questionable on how long they were sitting there, nevertheless, I paid, got my sticks and left. Opened the foil, tried the pork, and immediately noticed it was cold. Well what was I expecting for something that was in a plastic container and not even in a warmer. $5.00 for two cold pork sticks. Good flavor, just not worth coming back for imo. If you know its cold why not sell it cheaper? Im sorry Da Bolalohan, I tried. I tried to like you but this is where we must part ways. I feel like saying "YOU were supposed to be the Chosen One!" I really hope they can improve though. Happy Holidays and may the skewer be with you.

    This place is nostalgic for me. Walking up to the truck and if I close my eyes, the smell reminds me trips to the Philippines. I have absolutely loved everything I've ordered from here. I've only had 3 items. Its the bbq pork stick that keeps me coming back. The chicken insal is my 2nd favorite dish. The halohalo was as authentic as I remember. Delicious!

    Catering: Salad, fried rice, beef brisket, pork belly!
    Leland S.

    **This review reflects their catering service and not their food truck** I was fortunate to stumble upon this place at Turtle Bay's Fireworks Show and my oh my was it delightful! Food: Beef Brisket (Highly Recommend) My goodness....Well moist and seasoned. The smoky, garlic, dry rub flavors made it very umami. Slices were fair as it had a juicy texture and balance of meat and fat. Pork Belly (Highly Recommend) My goodness part 2. Really good filipino comfort food. The pork belly was juicy and full of flavor. A low-key balance of some sweet and savory flavors to it. Customer Service: Wonderful! Brisket guy was very convincing and my order was received at a reasonable time. Overall: 5 Stars. Can't complain about this place. My food was deeeelicious, price was reasonable, plenty of choices, and great service. I am intrigued to see what they serve at their food truck. For people visiting the island or any locals in need of some comfort food, I recommend giving this place a go. TL;DR Tips Catering Menu is different from their food truck menu. Definitely get the beef brisket and pork belly.

    Their $11 Bulalo

    Bought the Bulalo and Empanada.The Empanda was big worth the $5 but the Bulalo was pretty disappointing.I expected some meat inside but all i got was some bland soup with beef feet for $11

    I got 4 bbq pork belly sticks with two scoops of rice and an iced cold Coke. It was cooked fresh off the grill and really "broke da mouth!" There were so many other selections like bbq chicken sticks, bbq chicken feet and a variety of Filipino dishes that I need to come back for. They had a table and chairs to eat on and it was pretty busy. This one customer told me he eats here every night! If I lived nearby I probably would too. Jaysen was really nice and cooked my sticks to perfection. He told me I could have it crispy so I'll try that next time. Until then, I'll be thinking about what to eat next time. Loco Moco maybe?!

    Dinakdakan!
    Steve R.

    The dinakdakan and Hibol are legitimately good here! Give them a try, you won't be dissapointed.

I chose the simple Shinramyun ya not the brightest choice on this humid day but didn't want something too heavy as it just need a bit of fuel to get me going and this spot was definitely on my list. Love that they put the spice level beside each item for a heads up the staff here is nice and as they were more flooded with orders than I realized as they do take phone orders it did take a bit for my order. Since I was dining right there among the bench it didn't need to be separated and loved that it was served on a tray along with a side of kimchee yum the ramyun had a soft cooked egg and some carrots a nice and simple snack which gave me much needed boost though as it was basically no different than a bowl of instant noodle this was crazy overpriced and glad that I didn't get the soft tofu which was $13.50 which I didn't need that type of spice in my life. Thank you!

The service was easy and fast but just know they only take cash or venmo - no cards! The menu is simple and yet creative because there are so many of their signature sauces to choose from. I got the three mix plate with Firecracker Chicken, 94 Sauce Pork Chops and Cream Meatballs. I also got the 74 South Moko. Everything was delicious. The chicken was crispy and juicy and the pork was tender. The meatballs were a little salty with the sauce, but just eat a lot of rice! The moko isn't a patty, it's just their meatballs. The eggs were perfectly runny and a very savory.

I got one of the sspecials: the Mum Mum Noodles Deluxe; and the Pork Chops with Garlic Kake (garlic Furikake) sauce. Yum! The Mum Mum Noodles Deluxe was topped with easy over eggs, French Fries, and a sweet mayo (?) sauce. I liked the chewy Noodles, but I prefer a more savory sauce - I'm sure I could have asked to change sauce if I knew. Note: Ketchup at home helped a lot! The pork Chops were delicious and tender! Corn was a nice side, along with two scoops of rice. Service was okay. I asked what "Mops" stood for - it's slang for "eating". The cashier made an eating motion... LOL!

It was sure good to be back, and I am happy for their business to have its own place where customers can sit, not just takeout. They are now located near West Loch station by Mickey D's and Seafood City [the shops West Loch station). I live in Honolulu but it was sure worth it to take the rail to satisfy my sisig craving. I ordered their pork sisig with rice, and it sure was still delish! Pro tip for the business is using calamansi instead of lemon (but still good!). My order seems like it is for just one person but honestly, if you share it with another person, you'd still be satisfied because it is stomach-heavy! If you didn't have much to eat throughout the day, you could easily demolish the sisig dish I ordered. For drinks, they have canned sodas inside for $2.00 but I decided to get some smoothies at Hang's just doors down the place. As the parking spot may fill up, you can always drop a buddy off to pick up some to-go order. I have yet to try some of their other dishes such as their beef pares noodles. So--if you are craving ramen--try switching it up and get some of their noodles! I also recommend getting bulk orders for parties! Mahalo and I hope this business continues to reap success!

    Seen this place showcased on a couples YouTube channel and decided to come in and try for myself…read more They made it look and sound so good! I ordered their pork sisig with egg which cost me about $23 including tip. I'd say it was worth the cost given the portion size and the deliciousness of the pork sisig. The one thing I did not like was the Rice my plate came with. It was very wet and mushy which sucked because it killed the enjoyment of the pork sisig for me. Also, service from the cashier was not very friendly when I asked her a question, maybe she was not having a good morning. Idk. Anyways aside from that, everything else was good. Location is easy to get too, lots of convenient parking outside and dining area was very clean and up to date trendy. I do have plans to return to try their beef pares! That looks Ono too. Hope I get a better experience next time. It wasn't that bad of an experience, so I'd still recommend this place to friends and family because their pork sisig was delicious! Make sure to squeeze the lemon on top gives it extra flavor.

Everyone was working hard to get the food out fast. Lechon had the perfect crispy skin while the meat was tender. A good amount was given n' was nicely prepared. Ate it with the mang tomas sauce that was provided. The addition of spam pieces was to incorporate the main attraction. The fried rice unfortunately didn't have much flavor. I ended up eating it with vinegar to jazz it up. Bbq pork stick was really good on its own. The vinegar that was provided added even more flavor. It was actually my favorite out of everything; had a good char. Pork lumpia was two long pieces that was equivalent to like 6 regular size pieces. My kids enjoyed it.
