    Pancit, Kare-kare
    Ryan L.

    Was en route to Anaheim and wanted to check this place out. It's nestled in a market and they had plenty of items to choose from. I appreciate them explaining what was what! The experience was very quick and efficient and everything was very delicious. My favorite was the kare-kare since it was very flavorful and the tripe was super soft. I really enjoyed the market atmosphere and communal table setting.

    Salmon soup sinigang ..... no soup didn't even put in a container
    Cecile O.

    No container! No soup It's salmon sinigang soup !!! Sinigang soup the service is not good no patience for customers

    Kare-kare
    Dixie M.

    $15 Kare-kare. No meat, only pig insides. How could you charge this much for trash? No flavor of peanut butter, mostly flour and food coloring. Many years ago, it was good. This is unacceptable! Parang pagkain ng baboy. This is what people in the Philippines feed their pigs. Left over from what they didn't sell the day before and dressed as a new dish the next day.

    Adobo isn't supposed to be thick like this
    Krista L.

    I was so happy to find a Filipino restaurant nearby. I wanted to like it but it was so disappointing. The adobo didn't look or taste like adobo and everything was so expensive! I spent $45 total for 2 (not so large) entrees and a tiny medium sinigang. I don't think it's Filipinos that make it bc it doesn't taste anything like Filipino. I won't be coming back. And the adobo was so salty! I threw it in the trash

    Horrible Halo Halo. 7.50 all ice. Cheap with ingredients.

    Ordered a halo halo. This is what I got. Cup with ice, hardly any ingredients to make it a halo halo. 7.50 for ice and suger. Cheap on ingredients and they didn't even fill up the cup. Picture is the halo halo uneaten. If this is what the store is representing as Halo halo, they a ripping off their customers and giving the dessert a bad rep. Please treat you like customers better Kapit. This is not acceptable.

    The people who work here are so sweet. There's so many options to choose from and you can't go wrong with any of them. The food was really fresh and flavorful. I want to come here for every meal

    I would love to give Kapit Bahay 5 stars. We have been coming here since the early mid-2000s until we moved to Inland Empire. Our last visit this weekend, however, gripped my usual expectations of comforting satisfaction. We got the Corned Beef, Kare², Tinola, and different brands of Hopia. What surprised me was the pugnacious taste of the Corned Beef - it's at the edge of spoilage. Maybe I was just being over reactive so I kept quiet. The Kare-Kare's meat (tripe) were not soft. It was not sufficiently simmered that it could be easily chewed and swallowed, but the sauce and vegies are one thumb up. I hope they simmer the meat longer because this savory dish would end up in the trash. The Chicken Tinola is good. One complain is: there is only 3 very small bite-size pieces in it that the ala carte price would seem too expensive. I wish Kapit Bahay can make the adjustments, bring back the quality.

    Longanisa and Lumpia
    Gladys P.

    Wow, so disappointed. I wanted to support this Filipino store but seriously? Ordered longanisa (2 small pieces) and lumpia (she said one order was 6 pcs but she was nice and gave me 7). Then she charges me $13.50 because she considers that a 2-entree item! Didn't even get any rice!Probably not going to come back.

We came across Lola's by MFK on Yelp, and it ended up being exactly what we needed! As someone who grew up in the Philippines, I tend to be pretty picky when it comes to Filipino restaurants, as I often find myself disappointed with the food. My girlfriend, on the other hand, has been wanting to try Filipino breakfast for a long time, so we were both excited to give this place a shot. We started with the cold brew flight, featuring ube, Thai tea, pandan, and chocolate. Every flavor was delicious, and it was a fun way to try something a little different! My girlfriend ordered the breakfast bowl with longanisa, which she really enjoyed, while I went with the Iloko Moco. Honestly, it was probably one of the best loco mocos I've ever had. We also couldn't leave without trying the Ube French Toast, and it was SO good that we finished it in no time! Service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit, and the ambiance was just as enjoyable, with some really cool murals inside that added to the atmosphere. I'm glad we stumbled upon Lola's by MFK during our trip to Anaheim. It was a great way to end our Disneyland visit, and I'm happy we got the chance to experience it. Definitely a spot I'd recommend to anyone looking for a delicious Filipino-inspired breakfast!

They were generous with the rice though. We ordered the crispy pata which seem to be the popular item for this place. It was super crispy with a light and crunchy skin which is a very hard process. It smelled delicious and can easily be cut into which is again, a difficult thing to do if done right. My only thing was that it looked big, but once it was cut it actually didn't have a lot of substance. The kare kare came in a big pot and the sauce was bountiful, but the protein (tendon, green beans, tripe) weren't a lot. Great presentation not a lot of substance. I want to support the place, but a bit disappointed.

The inside of the restaurant looks like it may have been recently updated ~ it's nicely arranged with a good amount of seating. Orders are placed at the counter and your food is brought to your table when it's ready. Since it was our first visit, the lady at the front was happy to answer our questions and make suggestions. Everything is freshly made to order, so be prepared for a short wait. Plates come with a cup of egg drop soup (which came up piping hot and was very flavorful) that is served to be enjoyed while you wait for your main dish. My foodie friend ordered a fish dish with the Java rice. I chose the beef rib plate and also went with the Java rice. Siopao was a new featured item and apparently they're known for their bibingka, so I added those as well because at this point, why not right? While my friend enjoyed her fish, she said it could have used more seasoning and she wished that she didn't have to pick out the bones. My beef ribs were SOOOO good!! And the Java rice had a really nice flavor that went perfectly with the ribs. Since we had so much food, we split the siopao (a steamed pork bun), and I can't even begin to describe the bibingka ~ it was rich and delicious, with a slightly sweet & creamy filling. I'd have to have another one to better describe its flavor more accurately. I'm so glad to have discovered Tony's! I can't wait to go back!!!

Whenever we come across…read morea restaurant that looks delicious, we save it and eventually make plans to visit together. I came across this restaurant on Instagram and had been wanting to try it. Since it's a regular restaurant that offers a buffet only on Wednesday evenings, we decided to visit on a Wednesday night to enjoy the buffet. They're open from 4 p.m. for the buffet, and we arrived around 5 p.m. The restaurant was already packed! It's a medium-sized restaurant, and fortunately, we only had to wait about five minutes before being seated. Before entering, we paid first and were told that the dining time was limited to 90 minutes. When we got to our table, I thought the neatly arranged placemat setting was adorable. The plates were wide, clean, and white. Unlike the stainless-steel or plastic plates you often see at buffets, these were ceramic, which I really liked. It made the whole experience feel a little more special--almost like we were being treated to something extra.There was a nice variety of beef, pork, and chicken dishes, and salmon was the main fish option. They had egg noodles, a beef soup dish, short ribs, and lobster!! There was also crispy fried pork skin with meat attached. Just thinking about it makes me want to go back and eat again. Haha. As I was making my way through the food selections, someone who I believe was the owner kindly struck up a conversation and asked if it was my first time there. When I said it was, they welcomed me and told me to enjoy the food. For drinks, there was water and tea. The tea was on the sweeter side. I didn't ask whether other drinks were available to order. I had a lovely time chatting with the gentleman at the table next to us while enjoying our meal. The owner also kept coming by to check on us and make sure we were enjoying everything. Haha. Our plates were cleared quickly, too. The overall atmosphere felt like being invited over to a friend's house for a meal. Cozy, warm, and family-oriented! It had a kind of welcoming vibe that's hard to find at restaurants these days, and we had such a pleasant and enjoyable evening. I was especially happy because my friend enjoyed the food so much, too! Overall, almost everything was delicious, but the roast beef was particularly good. I also really enjoyed the lumpia. The lobster was probably somewhere in the middle in terms of flavor, but honestly, expecting too much from a $38 buffet would make me feel like I was asking for the impossible. Haha. You can really taste the care that goes into each dish, and the overall quality was impressive. I'm already wishing Wednesday would come around so I can go back!

    Matiki Island BBQ on Lincoln in Anaheim is the kind of place that makes a family dinner feel easy…read more We went for the island BBQ plate energy, and it delivered. The beef ribs were really good, big and properly cooked, the kind of meat you actually talk about on the way home. The galbi was right there with them, savory and satisfying, and between the two we were set. The kids loved the spam musubi. That alone would have made the stop worth it for us. Spam musubi is one of those things that either works for kids or turns into a negotiation, and here there was no negotiation. They were happy, which meant the adults got to eat in peace for a minute. Dessert sealed it. They have a version of Dole Whip that tastes just like Disneyland. I am not being cute about that. Same soft, cold, pineapple hit you remember from the park, which is a wild thing to get after a plate of ribs in Anaheim. We finished full and already half-planning the next visit. One caveat: it was really smoky inside. Enough that I noticed it the whole meal. If I could give 4.5 I would, but I'm rounding up because the food was that good. Portions felt solid for a plate-lunch place, the vibe was casual and family-friendly, and nothing about the meal felt fussy. If you want Hawaiian-style BBQ with kids in tow, this is still an easy yes. Five stars.

When we got in and got sat immediately we could not decide on what we wanted. My wife wanted the Chicharron bulaklak, and I wanted Pancit bihon. We also added an order of Bichol Express with Lechon kawali and a grilled boneless bangus. Service was good. Food came out quickly and correctly. The taste was exactly what we were looking for. We decided not to have dessert there as their halo halo was over priced at $16.00. The food here has changed over the years for the better. The bichol express had a nice consistency from the coconut milk and the spice was not over powering. The bulaklak was nice a crispy and did not have an oily texture. The pancit also has pieces of Lechon Kawali which is not traditional but have a. Ice texture contrast. Last was the grilled bangus. Nicely grilled and charred with a fresh accompaniment of tomatoes and salted duck egg. It was a nice meal to bring us back to reality and why we live in this area that has so many Filipino restaurants.

Despite visiting as a large group of 9 on a busy Friday night, our wait for dinner was only about an hour. The live band playing that evening was also excellent. Cons: Unfortunately, the food was a mixed bag. While the sisig and grilled bangus were very good, the pancit lacked ingredients and was underwhelming. Worse, the pinakbet was completely inedible because the squash was spoiled.Service: The service management needs significant improvement. We brought the spoiled food to our server's attention, who passed it along to the manager. However, they completely ignored the situation and failed to come to our table despite multiple assurances. We weren't even looking for a replacement--we simply wanted to alert the kitchen so other guests wouldn't be served spoiled food. Eventually, the manager, Gilbert, came. He was calm and listened to our concerns, though it remains to be seen how the restaurant addresses the feedback. For this experience i will give it 2.5 for food quality and service. UPDATE: The manager discounted the pinakbet. Also, we stayed and ordered more food. I just want to commend Fausto our server for his great service.
