High five for HiFi Kitchen!…read more Located a block away from the Historic Filipinotown arch, this cozy spot is worth a stop. I finally had the chance to visit this brick-and-mortar after experiencing their food on two occasions. Once was at a catered event at SIPA, and another was at a pop-up at FPAC. During that catered event at SIPA, I had the Vegetarian HiFi Sisig which has tofu, eggplant, & shiitake, onions, peppers, and vegan mayo. I was obsessed with how good this was and was hoping there would be leftover for baon. But I also didn't want to be greedy...lol! Then at FPAC, they offered Veggie Sisig Tacos. Similar ingredients, except in a corn tortilla. Again, obsessed! https://yelp.to/b419aFUgE- Craving that yummy sisig, I walked into HiFI Kitchen's brick-and-mortar, eager to partake once again. Sadly, they were out of tofu. But the gal behind the counter was willing to modify by going extra on the veggies for my Vegetarian HiFi Sisig bowl. At first glance the portion size didn't quite meet my expectation of what I would consider a $17 veggie bowl that lacked tofu and nixed the egg, but it was surprisingly filling! And maraming masarap! https://yelp.to/tW6yKt2uDg Also masarap is the Pandan Horchata Latte. Yum! https://yelp.to/prcFhvC2jO Staff is very helpful. The decor embraces the hifi theme (high fidelity in this case) of old media such as using an audio tape case to store napkins and utensils, or having a VHS tape rewinder mounted on the wall. There's a single table indoors, bar-height counter for extra dining, and a few more tables out front. When I arrived, there was a family of 3 in there. By the time I sat down, three parties of 2 formed a line at the register. Popular spot! Street parking was fairly easy at 1pm on a Saturday. Would easily make a stop here anytime I'm in HiFi. Happy to support a small Filipino business :)

The staff were nice and you mainly order at the kiosk up front! The interior was smaller than I thought it was, so theres only a bit of seating inside. We ordered the Vegetarian Sisig and the Vegetable Lumpia! The sisig was absolutely delicious! I really loved the bit of atchara it came with and what sauce the vegetables were coated in. The crema on top was also a nice touch of flavor! The vegetable lumpia took me by surprise because it wasn't a typical filling for vegetable lumpia I've usually had. It looked like it had squash and green beans in it and Im not sure what else. It was pretty good though! I will say it is a bit on pricier side and the portions aren't too big. Overall, great experience and the food was superb!

It was bomb and tasted slightly buttery. I also got one of the bagels. They make the bagels in house and you can tell. Plus they stack the toppings and don't short anything, which is nice. The cafe is quiet with decent seating and super chill. Thank-you again to Emily for the great service [: I'll be back.

Took 26 minutes for grilled cheese when relatively unbusy and they also forgot one of our coffee drinks (it was just 3 of us).

Hi-Fi is a little coffee shop located on PCH. It's tucked away and if you aren't looking for it,…read morecan miss it. There is minimal seating indoor and outdoors. Parking isn't the best but there is a small lot in back that is available. We ordered the Chai and Honey Latte. The Chai latte was well balanced, not overly sweet or overpowering. The Honey Latte was bright and had a hint of honey but the milk overpowered the espresso. Another downside was that they didn't have almond milk (not sure if they don't carry it regularly or if it was just the day we came that they didn't have it). Prices are a tad inflated. The service was quick but not the most friendly/welcoming.

I brought in my vintage receiver as it was having random dropouts in the speakers. It was…read morecompletely random and changed which side would drop out and how long it would drop out. I spent a while trying to figure it out and got nowhere. I brought it to him where he promptly kept it for over a month without looking at it. When he did look at it he only looked at it for a day and told me it needed a simple cleaning. Since I'm not an expert, I went ahead and did this. A day later it was ready and he said it was working perfectly. I brought it home to find it had the same exact issue within 24 hours. I'm sure that the cleaning was perfectly fine and needed to be done anyway, but he did not bother to find the actual issue. I spent the next couple of months checking it on my own and discovered that it had to do with the tape monitor button. I can now correct it and we'll get it fixed either myself or somewhere else. Feel it's also worth noting that whatever capacitors he used don't seem to match with the original as my sansui now sounds different than it ever did before. He told me he had to replace a few and I don't think they were the correct ones to keep the sound signature that it needed. He also switched my lights to blue LEDs without even asking me. It's not the end of the world but I would have liked to have been involved in that decision before it happened.

To quote Kevin "What can I say? Things happen."…read more This snippy, blythe remark was made to me after an amplifier I bought from them new bricked. Disappointing. No good-faith attempt, nor any attempt, was made to make it right even after my spending into five figures with them at this shop. I spoke to a different person each time I inquired about the problem and each sounded unconcerned. I got the brush off. They couldn't even take it in for a look towards repairing it (with me offering to foot the bill). In addition, and perhaps most importantly, the 3 product reviews I've submitted to their site about this unit have been not been posted which leads one to the assumption that only the positive reviews of their products are posted. Which, of course, means the whole review section of their website is potentially untrustworthy, misrepresentative and useless. The cynic might say "Of course!" And I would have said that also, but I thought this place was different. It's not. Kevin's an expert salesman and pitchman, but save your duckets and keep moving.

I scheduled the appointment to have a 12.3 Android Car Play unit in my Mercedes-Benz. I showed up this morning and met with Arian, a true professional at his trade as well as a kind, honest and knowledgeable individual. The shop is meticulously maintained and has a vast array of tools, work bench areas, awesome LED ceiling lighting, a waiting area, front office and conference/training room. This shop and team of professionals are a class act. Arian explained the installation process and timeline and I was quite impressed. The Rolls Royce in the shop that was getting customized with lighting and sound was a testament to the quality of work that Arian, Sam and the other team members provide when you bring your car into the shop. Arian called me when the car was completed and when I arrived gave me a very thorough orientation on the features, modes and operational functionality of the new unit. Very impressive and truly a plus when you have such a professional take the time to show you the details and functions of the new unit. Sam was in the shop as well as was amazing. Great customer service! These guys not only know their business and have vast knowledge of car Audio and accessories but are transparent, kind and informative professionals. Sam showed me the lighting in the Rolls Royce and also a few options that can be installed on the Mercedes-Benz. I opted for the very nice AMG entry lighting. Very cool. If you are looking for the best in the business relative to car Audio, Video and accessories you must call Sorena Car Audio and speak with Sam or Arian. This is my second review which I am labeling Phase II completion, as I did review them previously after initial contact simply due to the professionalism, knowledge, customer service and other posted industry reviews. Sorena is simply the best and I highly recommend this amazing team of professionals.
