If you're in the San Fernando Valley and craving authentic Filipino treats, Hopia Like It in Winnetka is an absolute gem! We came to visit the San Fernando Valley, and my aunt was on a mission to find the best hopia with lots of variety -- and wow, did this place deliver. They have all the classic favorites: ube, mongo, baboy, yema, pandan -- and every single one was absolutely delectable. Each piece of hopia feels like it was made with love. The texture is just right, the fillings are generous, and the flavors are rich without being overly sweet. You can truly taste the quality. Their bibingka galapong with cream cheese is another must-try -- warm, creamy, freshly made, and incredibly comforting. It's the kind of treat that makes you close your eyes for a second just to savor it. And then... I saw Jerry coming out with freshly made chicharon -- both with laman and without. Oh boy! I immediately ordered a packet. Crispy, flavorful, and perfect to pair with vegetables or just snack on by itself. The place is clean, well-organized, and they even offer catering. Pricing is very reasonable for the quality you're getting. Plus, they offer website ordering, so you can send hopia and other goodies to family anywhere in the United States. Hopia, bibingka, and chicharon here are definitely a must-try. If you're anywhere near Winnetka, don't miss this spot -- you'll leave happy and probably with a box (or two) in hand! read more

Today my parents and I went to hopia like it in Winneka. We were buying two dozen of hopia, we got each flavor of ube, nutella, red bean, and baboy pork hopia. And we also buy two of chicken empanada. We love their filipino pastry called hopia and empanada they were so delicious. The service was great and friendly staff with a smile, the ambiance was amazing and great. We always already looking forward to our return visits!! read more

Absolutely loved my experience at Hopia Like It! The yellow bean hopia was amazing, perfectly soft, subtly sweet, and packed with flavor. A must try if you love traditional Filipino pastries done right. But the favorite for my husband was the Cebuchon was incredibly tasty, crispy, and full of savory goodness. We enjoyed it so much we came back twice just for that! It's that delicious. Also had the fresh coconut juice, and it was exactly what I needed. It was super refreshing and naturally sweet. Highly recommend this spot in Winnetka if you're craving authentic flavors with great quality. Can't wait to go back again! read more

I love this place! My personal favorite is the baboy! (contains peanuts) but its a mix of sweet and salty! They also serve filipino plates here and the food is so good, check them out ! read more

HUGE disclaimer. This place is very small. One small table with 3 chairs. So basically Togo location only. Of course it's the same food as the Granada hills location (though I doubt they have as much as GH ) - so the food is very good. We got a lunch plate this time. It was good, but preferred the breakfast dishes from last time. The Halo Halo was great, and the hopia (pastry) were so good. If you live nearby or want food TOGO - this location is suitable. Otherwise, Granada hills is the best option. Granted they aren't setup for huge groups, but will be fine otherwise We really enjoy local establishments. read more

Hopia Like It - Winnetka - Filipino Near Me - Winnetka, California

My first time there to try Filipino food. Really good food! I've never had "crispy sisig" and I got the lunch special which was a very generous portion. I also got the 9 piece lumpia because you ALWAYS have to get lumpia! As an impulse buy, I got these fabulous little tarts (cashew maybe). I can't remember because I ate all of them almost right away. Very friendly and helpful service at the counter. One small table for eating there. They also have an abundant catering menu. I will definitely go back to try their pork belly lunch special and also their hopia (small cookie type dessert in so many flavors). They also had another type of breakfast pastry that looked amazing. read more

Hopia Like It - Winnetka - Crispy Sisig with rice. (It's a crispy pork dish). - Filipino Near Me - Winnetka, California

Wow! Pleasantly surprised!! HOPIA LIKE IT in Winnetka is a small Filipino cafe that specializes in the small, flakey, Filipino pastry called Hopia! Back in the day, there were only two flavors of hopia: Baboy (pork) and Monggo (red or yellow mung bean). Today, there's a plethora and I'm here for it!! We went in wanting to order Halo-halo, but as soon as we saw the display case full of colorful hopia, we just had to order some! We really enjoyed the Yellow Bean, Baboy, and Peach/Mango. I wish I had ordered more, because we ate them too darn fast. Now I know! After looking at the menu, we also ordered Pancit Palabok and Lechon Kawali Plate to-go. The Pancit was great after squeezing some lemon (provided) and a drizzle of soy sauce once I got home. The Lechon Kawali was gone before I asked for a bite. My +1 loved it! We thought that was enough until we noticed the pandesal was sooooo soft! Grabbed a bag and we are still enjoying it. It is truly heavenly! I used to work at a Filipino Bakery in San Diego that specialized in Pandesal and this might just be my new favorite, at least in LA!! :-) I changed my mind on the Halo-Halo, but ordered a Melon (cantaloupe) drink that was excellent! My +1 loved the Maíz con hielo (sweet corn shaved ice). Already looking to our return visits!! read more

I was driving and saw the sign "Hopia Like it ". I had seen the sign before in Granada Hills but I didn't know there was one in Winnetka. So I stopped and decided to give it a try. It is small, like a hole in a wall, but the food was good. I ordered Pancit Malabon & Bibingka. The Bibingka was tasteful and warm.The place was busy, and people were ordering pastries, they all look delicious. I'm glad I stopped by. read more

Unfortunately was not a fan of the food or the service. We tried the chicken empanada which tasted a bit too old. Tried the hopia baboy which wasnt too bad and seems like a popular flavor. We also got a small tray of puto which tasted a bit dry and flavorless. I think our favorite part of our order was the Thai tea that we got. Everything else was a bit lacking. read more

Sorry, but the palabok and cebuchon is not the same as the Hopia Like it in Granada Hills. This is Kalesa Grill not Hopia Like it. Very disappointed no flavor at all. read more

Hopia Like It - Winnetka - Palabok no flavor - Filipino Near Me - Winnetka, California

They have the best hopia and have so many different flavors. My favorite are the baboy and buko pandan. The hopia is flaky and the filling is so delicious. They also have really good Spanish bread. The bread is soft and the buttery filling tasted like it has some pieces of coconut. This place is far from home. I only come here when I'm in the Woodland Hills or Van Nuys area, which is seldom. I usually pick up a dozen hopia and a bag of Spanish bread whenever I come here. Wish they would open a store in the Long Beach/Cerritos area. read more

I've been coming here for a long time since I used to live in the area. It's a bummer their location got smaller because the business next door is now its own coffee shop. Filipino food here is pretty good, I typically come between here and hopia like it in Granada hills. The service is pretty quick. We love getting a variety of hopia for parties. read more

Delicious food at very reasonable prices and friendly reliable service. Don't miss the Taro Hopia! read more

The hopia is crazy good I will definitely come back for more!! And the customer service is amazing read more

Great if you love hopia and fried pork! This place does both. Rice plate with sisig was delicious-- yum porky fat cut by raw onions and fresh chilies. Nice small business with a variety of Filipino foods. Next to Jesse's Grind coffee in Food4Less strip mall. read more

Good food and fast service. I ordered the crispy pata and pancit malabon and they were yummy! Will order again

Food has always been my weakness and desserts are the secrets of life that keeps me on the go for this type of drug or manna, as others call it. I've known this stores way back when they had it named Kalesa Grill and they evolved with a more focused dessert like their uniquely and classy Filipino "Hopia". Yes, it is a borrowed term from the old Chinese bread makers way back in the Philippines but has now evolved to a better Filipino creation. Their hopia is made with mung beans, peanut butter, cheese, and a variety of different organic ingredients that will make you long for more, no matter your age or taste buds. This is their star dessert so if you buy more you save more. They also sell other desserts like their own style of pork chicharons or pork rinds, pandesal, pulvuron, Puto (rice dessert), along with noodles like Pancit Malabon etc.. I often come to this nook, at least once a month or as often as possible. One suggestion or tip is that it's better to snort their hopia when it's new, crispier and the taste is milkier and better. Yes, they also have Halo Halo and other drinks like fresh coconut etc. Another tip is to call in your order as soon as possible and pick it up, when ready. They also have Uber Food Pick Up and other delivery services. I've been going to their store for more than 20 years perhaps and they continues to deliver the best and cleanest food there is. The couple who owns this place and their families are great local people and are extremely friendly, nice and polite to all their customers. So, if you want the best Hopia and is going nuts for Filipino food, drop by this place and you will never be sorry about it. Enjoy! read more

The Lupia at Hopia Like It are amazing! They taste like home cooking. I can't wait to go back for more! There's also a location in Granada Hills, so I'll have to go there too. read more

Found this silver thing in my food and was utterly disgusted. Quality control needs to be reassessed here immediately because consumption of this is unsafe to say the least. read more

Don't pass on the hopia here! I tried a variety of hopias and nothing compares to the flavors and uniqueness that Hopia Like it has. Sadly the grill and food we can order to go here but there is no sit in place for families to enjoy. Wish they had more tables. But I indulged in my favorite Guava Cheese Hopia. The flaky pastry filled with sweet guava and creamy cheese never fails to satisfy my cravings for a perfect blend of flavors. A true gem in the world of Filipino pastries, the Guava Cheese Hopia and other flavors is a is a must-try for anyone looking to treat their taste buds to something special. read more

If you ever need to buy Hopia , a Filipino pastry with mung bean inside You are in the right place. They may be pricey but it satisfy your cravings for a good Fiipino authentic pastry and you earn points when you buy and the points doesnt have any expiration. They have good and kind staff. The store is small but everything they sell is delicious ! FYI, they have different flavor to try ... the original yellow beans, pandan, ube etc.. Place is worth visiting ! I give this place a 10 ! read more

I gifted hopia from the Granada Hills location to some peeps back in NorCal and when they found out that I was heading back down to SoCal they asked me to grab more hopia lol. Messenger, I shall be! Decided to check out this location this time. A bit compact compared to the other location and inventory here seemed much smaller (a few items were sold out). I have a slight edge over the hopia at the other location in terms of taste as well; the hopia baboy over there in particular was more flavorful (still good here though). I also ended up getting pancit malabon w/ lechon here; tender lechon pieces but overall kinda bland (haven't tried the one at the other location so can't compare). If this location is easier for you to navigate to (plaza parking here vs. street parking there) then I still recommend checking it out for some freshly baked hopia (yeah, actually warm hopia.....very hard to come by)! read more

I haven't been here for so long that they made some changes. The Kalesa Grill dining room is not there anymore. It made this place tiny. Customers have to wait outside too. As It can only accommodate a few. They have one table for dine in. But even so, I'd rather have my meals to go. It makes me uneasy when people are watching me eat. They sell bakery products. And the highlights are the Hopia. They are very addictive. With 7-8 or more favors, it is hard to choose. I stopped by today to pick up my 3 free Hopias. I chose Mung Bean, Pork, and Ube. Omg how I missed this. I finished them in one sitting. Lol. I'm coming back for more. Hopias are good to bring for get togethers or just something available at home for snacks. And when you join Five Star rewards, they send you perks on your birthday month. Wooot!!! Ample parking. No bathroom facilities available. read more

Hopia is consistently yummy and the food Is very tasty. I miss the turo turo part of the experience but I still love how they are menu has great selections and that they deliver in the flavor especially when you have a craving. Wish the prices were still low esp the pandesal. Still a good place to go if ever you don't feel like cooking. read more

Was looking for some pastries to bring to my girlfriend's family for brunch and found this spot on yelp. Looking at the counter I have never seen so many different flavors of hopia I got 2 dozen assorted flavors and brought them to the brunch. I was amazed how everyone was commenting on how great it tasted and everyone wanted to address to pick some up for themselves. These are a guarantee hit if you are invited to a last minute brunch at a Filipino family house. read more

So was looking for something different around where I work. Found this little gem!! I tried the Hopia for first time, got the guava flavored one...it was really good! Not overly sweet or anything. I was more upset that I haven't tried that before lol! I ordered the cebuchon plate, and omg!! Sooooo delicious it was super tender and super crispy skin!! I couldn't get enough! I think I'll order just that ala carte I barely touched the rice! Also tried the lumpia very tasty nice and crispy! Place is small. One table with 3 chairs so I did take to go. And the guy at the counter was very nice. Answered my questions. Definitely will be coming back here!! read more

Tbh the only reason we went here was for Arroz Caldo. We were looking for some good Arroz Caldo and apparently this place had some! We didn't realize it was connected to Kalesa Grill. We got here and I ended up ordering some other food items along with the Peach Mango Hopia and Buko Pandan Hopia. I'm not crazy about Hopia but these were tasty and the flavors were pretty good. The buko Pandan didn't taste like the strong Pandan flavor you normally get but it was still good nonetheless. Overall it's a tiny hole in the wall with lots of food options and baked goods! Super tiny and the workers are a little all over the place but they're very nice. Will definitely come back here for their Arroz Caldo though! IG: @ammysalamii read more

Just WOW. I came across this place on accident. We wanted to get some coffee so we ended up next door to Jesse's. And I look to the left of Jesse's and there this place was!! I never eat Filipino food as much cause I no longer live with my parents lol. So when I come across it, I'll take advantage. I never really liked hopia that much, but the hopia here is amazing!! I initially ordered for my mom who loves them. So I got the ube, pandan and red bean (her faves). But I decided to try one of them because they just looked too amazing!! I don't regret it (sorry mom) lol. I wanna go back and get more!! I also ordered the sisig, pandesal, and empanadas. All are also amazing. Will definitely return! Plus the sweet lady working at the front is so nice. Great customer service for the win! read more

I'm Filipino and generally I don't try Filipino restaurants because I'm so used to my Grandma's cooking, but this place is legit. I've tried: Pancit Malabon, Filipino Pinoy Spaghetti, Fried chicken, Crispy Pata, Lumpia, and and ube hopia. The only thing I didn't really enjoy from the above was the fried chicken, it was over cooked and under seasoned but everything else was delicious. My tip is to call ahead to see if they're able to make the crispy pata. We originally made our order online and they had to call and tell us they wouldn't be able to do the pata. I recommend this place and I'll be back for more. read more

Food is extra good, excellent service, and the hosts is very friendly, nice, & professional.

If you like Hopia this is your place to go since they are baked fresh and there are so many options: Ube, baboy (pork), pandan, Nutella and many more. These are ready made and they sell them by the piece, half dozen, dozen etc. The restaurant is combined with Kalesa grill so you can get hopia and also order breakfast, lunch or dinner. read more

Hopia saved by bacon for a last minute party! Ordered 100 lumpia and 40 empanadas the morning of, they were willing to work with me and I very much appreciate it! I showed up at pickup time, picked up some hopia in addition to my order, and was on my way to the party within 10minutes read more

Food and service, unequalled. Their hopia with different flavors are superb. The place is really neat read more

Favorite flavor is the monggo. They have a wide assortment of flavors to choose from. Better deal if you order a dozen. Also, they taste better if you warm them up for a few seconds before eating. A few cons. They always seem to run out of pan de sal when I make a visit. Parking can sometimes be a challenge. read more

I don't live close by and there aren't many Filipino breakfast places near me. I was really craving tocilog for breakfast as I work long hours and didn't feel like cooking so I drove a long way to try this place since it had good reviews and was the closest to me. "Hopia like it", no, I didn't like it. The fact that it took 25 mins to wait for a simple order, only to open my order up at home to be incorrect is upsetting, instead of a tocilog, I got a hot dog plate...for $13, and only 1 egg instead of the 2 eggs that is advertised...I was going to order catering next week for an event, but if they can't get a breakfast order correct then I wouldn't trust a larger order. But the ube hopia was really good, so that is why they got 2 stars instead of 1.... read more
