I heard from friends and family that the halo halo here was good and so worth it. I had to try for myself. And yes they were right!!! It was huge!!! And not a bad price too. It had so much filling and extras!!! It's definitely shareable like 2-3 people. I love that it had all my favorite jelly fillings and the ice cream on top. Service was awesome and fast. read more

We were craving halo-halo one day and came here before doing some grocery. There was a line when we arrived. A few people ahead of us and after us. Workers didn't seem personable or engaging. Not much interaction. Gave our order and waited quite a while for just one halo-halo. It was a pretty good size portion and pretty to look at. Much better presentation than the other places in the same plaza. Worth the price with all the ingredients and toppings they put. The halo-halo was good. The only thing I don't care for was piece of leche flan. Tasted bland. At least satisfied the craving. read more

Halo halo is a Filipino shaved iced dessert. Other southeast Asian countries and beyond (cendol, bingsu and falooda to name just a few) seem to have their own versions. Ima's Kusina has the best version of halo halo in Seafood City's food court. Love their ice. It shaved super fine into a huge mound. Other places don't have ice so fine and it definitely affects the eating experience of finished dessert negatively. Ima's also has the best garnishes. They almost have the perfect mix of toppings. Theirs includes red and green gelatin, shredded fresh coconut, nata de coco (aka coconut jelly), sweet jackfruit, real ube, puffed rice and ube ice cream. Missed the sweet red beans, kaong (aka sugar palm fruit) and leche flan. They added the evaporated milk but seemed to skip the condensed milk. Frankly didn't miss it. Everything else was sweet enough. Today's weather was overcast, cold and windy but the cold dessert was so good. Can't wait to get it when the weather heats up. Bet it would be even better. read more

Such slow slow service. They never have anything prepared and my god -if you order something, just prepare for it to be like 30/40 mins. There's only one person, and I just cannot believe this place is still in business. read more

My favorites: pansit bihon, relyenong bangus (milkfish) and their halo-halo. Some food are salty for me.

I think Ima's Kusina serves the best halo-halo in the East Bay! It's big, extravagant, and at least 1000 calories. Yes, each calorie is worth it. I haven't had any other food here, but I am sure it's more than decent. Auntie Ima's got your back (your stomach) for when that Filipino food craving arises. read more

The lechon belly skin was unfortunately very hard. The rellenong bangus was disappointing it did not taste like bangus at all- it lacked a fish flavor it tasted more like flour or cornstarch. I do not recommend... cost $40 each. Not worth it! read more

The food is good but kinda pricey. The service is just okay. It's kinda fast food what kind of service do you expect. read more

I always know when I buy food here, it's gonna be the best! So I recently bought a beautiful tray of their delicious panceit for my family for New Years and it was sooo good that it blew my mind. The price was super reasonable too. I came back a few days later to buy 2 more trays for my Sunday church fellowship. Thank you Ima's & staff for making everyone so happy! Love your restaurant, the warmth & kindness of your staff, and all your yummy homemade food! You're a 5 Star Business! God Bless! read more

Went in for a Halo Halo omg!!! It was so delicious and huge!! The gentleman that made it for me was great friendly kind and asked if I wanted it to go and made sure to wrap it up!!! it was packed with deliciousness ummm ummm yummy !!! read more

Food was alright but service was terrible! I asked the lady how much was breakfast and she just gave me the mean look and point at the glass. Seems she was irritated!! Then, instead of ringing me up she walked away without saying anything. By the way, she sneezed and didn't wash her hands. Anyway, I would spend $50 somewhere else next time! read more

Paksiw na lechon and their adobong baboy are the best dishes that they have. Service was really fast and the prices are reasonable.

Owner is very nice,very helpful to their food order if you give her specially instruction order that is exactly what you get highly recommendable read more

The lady was so RUDE! I asked what was next to the banana cue because I'm not familiar with it she mentioned the name but I don't know what it was and asked her what was in it and she was so rude the my entire interaction with her. Mind you I was polite and nice to her while asking, and I was about to order the eggplant dish and she just dismissed me and started talking to the lady behind me and did not even acknowledge my order. Idk about the food, it's subpar. But the service is AWFUL! RUDE PEOPLE! Would never recommend anyone to come here. read more

I love to come and buy delicacies and meals here. I even brought my American friends. Well, the lady helped us. She is nice and friendly But the GUY who is at the counter is RUDE and MEAN. My friend asked for utensils, and he said he had just bought bananaq kamote q and lumpiang gulag and didn't give him a fork. I asked for dipping sauce for my lumpia. He put it in my friend's plastic bag. I asked him, and he answered me in the rudest way. I will never recommend this place anymore. If I can give 0 I will rate them 0. #badexperienced. #rudestaff. Neveragain. read more

Food is alright, like what they say "beggars can't be choosers". Due to the lack of local Filipino food, that's all we have. The big negative factor is the unprofessional behaviors to local door dashers. 2/3 of my orders were out of stock and all they can tell the door dash driver is "it's cancelled" with no explanations. As we support our local businesses to thrive in this economy, businesses should adhere to principles of professionalism. I will bring my business elsewhere like Isla, which is way better pampanguena cuisine. read more

I go here for their dinuguan. It tastes just the way my dad made it! My favorites are: their cassava cake, turon, torta talong, pancit palabok, chicken curry. Employees are always nice. I've tried their vegetable egg roll and ground meat egg roll, and sisig, they're just ok, lacks seasoning, not for me. read more

Poor service. Ate here and I had to get a Togo bag since I have leftovers. I got no change. The owner asks the customer for 0.15 cents... she will not give you the bag if you don't have a change. Poor service indeed. read more

Correction the date was 10/7 not 10/4. During this time apparently a lot of people got sick and still getting sick from this place. read more

Can't say much about the cooked food that looks very appetizing but this is our go to place for desserts! The Halo Halo is over the top! Tip - bring 2 more containers to share - it's good for 3! The Turon is simple and excellent! The service is very efficient in spite of long lines. read more

In addition to other Filipino food servers at Seafood City, Ima's is one of our favorites. It has some of our fav dishes & pastries if we don't find in the other food servers. I highly recommend Ima's. read more

I recently tried Ima's for the first time, and the food was amazing. My husband was craving suman, and I saw that Ima's Kusina had it, so I picked some up. While I was there, I also got biko, lumpiang gulay, lechon kawali, and pancit malabon. They also sell lechon belly, okoy, and tortang talong but I had to hold back. The lumpiang gulay with meat was delicious and huge, with a crispy lumpia wrapper and well-seasoned filling. Perfect with garlic sili vinegar! The lechon kawali was perfectly crispy and tasty, especially when dipped in Andok's lechon sauce. The pancit malabon, although a bit salty, was full of flavor ( tinapa taste). The biko and suman sa lihiya which came with latik syrup were both excellent. Although Ima's Kitchen food is a bit pricey, the taste and quality make it worth it. We're planning to go back next week to try their lechon belly and okoy, and my husband loved the suman so much that we'll definitely be ordering those again. As for the biko, Valerios sell them cheaper. Overall, Highly recommend! Service is quick, its like a turo-turo. Ambiance is alright, it's a food court so don't expect much. I had mine packed to go to enjoy at the comfort of my home. read more

I love this place! It's the best food to get inside seafood city. One of my favorite things is their carioca!!!

Ordered a couple of party trays for my daughter's birthday, beef kaldereta and palabok. Both were good and I would order again. It was expensive though ($170 for the two items), but we were satisfied with the size and I guess that's what food costs nowadays... read more

Poor customer service! This lady is rude! My purchased was only $8.50 and in a rude manner, said "Sir may charge kami .50 cents if your paying card." I was paying my debit card. I told her, I don't see any sign for the extra charge. Again, in a rude voice, "kaya nga sinasabi ko na sa inyo!" Sabi ko dapat may nka post kayo. She said, " I didn't have time to make it." I told her , why how long have you been opened? she just ignored me. Pa salamat ka binili ko pa rin yung kamote que. that will be my last purchased. I've been buying there maybe just for the last 6 months every other week. I will never go back and will not recommend to my family and friends. Note: I stayed in line for almost 20 mins. read more

Ordered tray of Turon for Christmas dessert. Arrived and the line was wrapped around the mall area!!!!! Very unorganized how they did the pick up orders. People lined up for an hour when it shouldn't be like this. They should have tables set with hourly pickup: 1p, 2p, 3p, etc..... they didn't know who ordered what, called out people's names and others got pissed that had been standing in line for an hour. They need more staffing. Just go to Valerio for your desserts! This is added after taking the Turon home. Waste of money ! The banana was hard - was not riped yet, but the wrapper and glaze was perfect. read more

Ima's Kusina serves Filipino hot foods, but apparently they also sells Filipino snacks/desserts such as flan, maja blanca (a dessert composed of coconut pudding, sweet corn kernels, and toasted coconut topping), puto (steamed rice cake), and also street foods such as fish balls on skewers, fried tofu on skewers, and assorted grilled fish. They all looked super good. I got Ube puto, which was delicious and I would certainly get that again. But I also got another dessert called kalamay (a sticky sweet dessert made of coconut milk, brown sugar, and ground glutinous rice) but it was tough :( but it was better when microwaved though. Overall the desserts were pretty good, but they were super pricey. read more

I am partial to cassava cake, even the not so great ones. BUT these cassava cakes were moist and given it's made with condensed milk, it was not that sweet. I also got the puto/kutsinta platter. This was my first time trying puto and it wasn't bad, but just not special. The kutsinta was pretty good too. They also have savory dishes but I didn't get any, some looked promising. I will definitely visit again and try more desserts and maybe savory dishes too. read more

I don't know what all of the negative reviews are all about, my experience at Ima's was great! So for Easter Sunday the family wanted a small tray for lumpia Shanghai and turon. Since we hadn't tried the lumpia and turon from Ima's before we visited Ima's a few days before Easter to give it a try. I told the worker who I think may be the owner that we wanted to order 50pieces of lumpia but haven't tried it so he was soo kind to take one out of the freezer and fry it for us to try. We ordered other random things while we waited. When it came the family liked it and so we put in the order. The lumpia and turon turned out great. Got rave reviews from the family! We will definitely order from here again!!!! read more

The grossest desserts here. I bought bibinka here and it was moldy and furry. I would avoid at all costs.

Ordered 1 banana cue. For $3.80 (nearly $4!!!!), I thought this better be the best tasting banana cue ever! How disappointed was I when I took my first bite??? Lordy! It's dry . I can't even finish it because it was NOT good at all. I've had better banana cue. My thoughts....super over priced and totally not worth the money. read more
