I wanted to give my wife a wonderful Filipino-themed retirement party, and Katna's Kitchen exceeded all my expectations. After finding them online and having friends check them out, I visited the restaurant and was immediately impressed by Thomas and Agnes. They were warm, accommodating, and willing to work with our many requests. When our guest list expanded, they even offered to close the restaurant for our private celebration. The party was outstanding! The food was delicious, our guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and the staff worked incredibly hard to accommodate our ever-changing needs. Most importantly, my wife was ecstatic and absolutely loved her retirement celebration. Thank you, Thomas, Agnes, and the entire Katna's Kitchen staff for making her special day so memorable. Highly recommended! read more

Came by on a Saturday for their AYCE Filipino Breakfast Buffet and it was so worth! It was just like being at a Filipino party (if you know you know lol). We came right at lunch and all the tables were full. You pay at the beginning ($20 a person) and serve yourself with these super cute plates. The food shopping aisles are pushed to the side to make space for tables. Drinks are an additional cost, but water and coffee is included in the buffet. A great spot to have a mix of people come to eat - from standard Filipino dishes to more Americanized options. The garlic rice, eggs, spam, red hot dog, and bangus were staples of my childhood. Staff was also very friendly and encouraged us to eat more. There was also karaoke as an option! Also plenty of parking next to the Air Force Base. Would love to come back with friends! Highly recommend to get full on some Filipino food! read more

Great service attentive and friendly staff! Wasn't busy so we got served right away mostly made to order which didn't take long at all. Met Thomas the Owner- really nice guy. He made sure everything was to our liking especially since my last experience with their Halo Halo (didn't get all the toppings as requested at the time as there weren't any substitutes) But this time, he really made sure it was customized to how we wanted it and of course staff was genuinely and sincerely apologetic. I would recommend this secret gem of a place to anyone who's wanting home cooked style Filipino food (lots of variety to choose from). And the only go to Halo Halo if you're a local! read more

I didn't realize that this is the place I have been wanting to try out in Fairfield. They are at the Pista Sa Nayon festival today in a Vallejo. There was a long line so I went also as we were getting hungry and it was the closest to where we were located. They had two different lines which made the lines go by a little faster. They were friendly which is always a plus in my book! Here's what I got: Lumpia: Not all lumpia is created equally. I am very picky when it comes to where I get it. The only other lumpia place I swear by is Andrea's in Vallejo. Katna's lumpia is actually really good! Had that crunch I was looking for. Thin wrap and just the right amount of meat. Other lumpia's from people don't have that crunch. Will get this again! Pork Sisig: I don't ever regular Sisig. If I do, I'm also picky about that. I'm usually a Bangus Sisig type of gal. However, there have only been a handful of the regular ones I have liked. I had high hopes for this. It isn't your typical Sisig. It was saucy and had a spicy kick to it. I do like the pepper addition. However, I do think that the meat can be cut up even smaller. It also had too much fatty pieces to it which I don't eat. So I had to remove that. It was lacking flavor and tasted a little bland. It's not the kind I'm used to. It wasn't horrible, but I do think it could be better. Will pass on this next time. Last thing, the rice was cold and not warm at all. I know it's a busy day and a lot of people. But, I like to eat my food with warm rice. I would have expected them to have a rice cooker back there keeping it warm. That ruined the experience a little. read more

Katna's Kitchen - Pork Sisig + Lumpia - Filipino Near Me - Fairfield, California

Haven't been here in a while. Stopped by to order some food for the amazing nurses on base. Ordered Bicol express, sisig and kare-kare. Also ordered a couple trays for an upcoming event. They were so delicious. It takes me back to my childhood memories in my home country. Agnes took my order. She was friendly, helpful and so patient with me. I love that they make you feel at home. She's from Pampanga, the Philippines' culinary capital known for flavorful and yummy dishes. Place is small but perfect for take outs and catering. There are some grocery items also available. I highly recommend them. read more

When we arrived at the Filipino Island Fest in Alameda around dinner time, we could smell the yummy BBQ that came from Katna's Kitchen. There was an extremely long line. Thankfully, my daughter had been standing in line and was half way to the front of the line. It was still a long wait, and they were running out of certain dishes. By the time my daughter ordered, there was no more BBQ. We ended up ordering Sisig & Rice, Lumpia, and Lechon Kawali & Rice - not our first choice, we wanted the BBQ. And after all that waiting in line, we had to wait around 20 minutes for our food. We got one dish + the lumpia. Then we still had to wait because they said the rice would be another 30 minutes to finish cooking. Sigh! I get it! It was a big event, and there were a lot of people. They probably weren't prepared, and we got the bum end of the deal. The sisig was like adobo... not impressed by it at all. The lechon kawali was better but wasn't as crispy as it should have been. This was sadly my first experience with Katna's Kitchen. We saw them again at Manila Munchies in American Canyon. Smaller crowd so we decided to give them another try. We ordered the BBQ Pork with pancit. The food was better. Glad we got to try their BBQ. The customer service is good. The gal that took our order was nice. Our second visit to their vendor booth was definitely better than the first. read more

Katna's Kitchen - First time here - Filipino Near Me - Fairfield, California

I'm not sure what's going on at this place but my order just left my hungry and confused. The Pork Sisig was completely cold as soon as it arrived in the same bowl, yhe so called garlic rice was stale and cold. Completely a waste. Neither was flavorful enough to even reheat and try to save. The lechon kawali was sent in a plastic container ment for soup and broth so it had completely steamed any crispness that might have existed before. It was the most bland lechon I have ever had in my entire life. The pork skewer was pretty good though. Thats what got them two stars. One and done visit for me. read more

Katna's Kitchen is a hidden gem in Fairfield that brings the heart and soul of the Philippines straight to your plate. What started as a humble pop-up has now grown into a cozy, sari-sari store-style eatery that lives up to its name. When you're here, you're literally eating at Katna's kitchen! She's usually there cooking in the back, too! The vibe is warm, welcoming, and full of Filipino hospitality. It's a small, family-run business that radiates love through every dish. Seating is limited both inside and out, but that just adds to the charm. You feel like you've been invited over to your auntie's house for a home-cooked meal. Definitely authentic Filipino comfort food at its best. The menu at their home base is even more expansive than what you'll find when they're at pop-up events like Foodieland. Think classic dishes like adobo, pancit, lumpia, kare-kare, and sinigang--all cooked with care and bursting with flavor. Every bite tastes like home! Don't leave without trying their halo-halo!! Hands down, my favorite dessert! It's a perfect balance of creamy, icy, sweet goodness that's incredibly refreshing and satisfying; esp on a hot day. They also cater for special occasions. Katna's Kitchen is open daily, and while seating is limited, it's absolutely worth the visit. Whether you're a longtime fan of Filipino cuisine or trying it for the first time, this place is a must-visit. Trust! Support local, eat well, and feel at home. Happy eating! read more

Visited this food stand at the Filipino Island Fest in Alameda this past weekend. Spent at least an hour waiting in line, and 25 more minutes for the food to be ready (the wait times quoted by staff were way off). We ordered the lechon plate with pancit and a side of pork lumpia. Not our first or second choices, but that's all they had in stock around 5pm, three hours before the event ended. The food was made fresh, the pancit peppery with a nice mix of ingredients, the lechon with decent flavor but some pieces a bit tough, the lumpia pretty standard, crispy on the outside but a somewhat loose filling. All in all, the food was fine, but not worth the crazy wait. read more

We ate at Katna's Kitchen last Friday and wanted to share our honest experience. The Menudo had good flavor, but it contained very little pork and a lot of hotdogs, which was a bit disappointing. On the other hand, the Bistek was delicious--I really enjoyed it and would definitely order it again. We also ordered the Nilagang Mani. Unfortunately, it tasted slimy and sour, and we couldn't finish it. I even tried rinsing it the next day, hoping it would improve, but the taste was even worse, so we had to throw it away. I hope the kitchen checks the freshness and quality of this dish before serving it to customers. While we enjoyed the Bistek, we felt that the overall value for what we paid did not meet our expectations. read more

I was craving halo halo so I went here. I was excited to see they had a buko flavored one. I also got a kare kare. I usually like it made with oxtail. This one was pork I think, but the meat was really soft. the kare kare sauce was thick and had perfect peanut butter flavor. The guy at the cashier was nice. I would come here again. Theres no inside seating but there are two outdoor tables. read more

Delicious Food! Excellent Fun(ny!:)) and Friendly Service! Like visiting Family at Home! All went very well!! :)

So went there last week with my bf and we were really excited to try their food since it looked so good on IG and the reviews were pretty good. I really wanted to order everything since there was so much to choose from. The staff were really friendly and even let me taste the food before buying. So from there since I did that I trusted every thing else was good but unfortunately it's wasn't. I ordered the beef tapa and it was savory and sweet to me and like I said I sampled it so I ordered it. I also, ordered the beef caldereta since it just came out and that was just ok. Oily but not really any flavor. My bf order the dinaguan that was oily than usual and also got the Bicol express that was ok to me but he enjoyed both. Which where my 2 stars are coming from. Then I ordered the Shanghai lumpia and I think they have a special flavor they make it and it wasn't for me either had only 2and also order the vegetable fried lumpia and the wrapper inside was fully cooked smh ‍ ordered the 1 pork bbq and 1 chicken bbq and they were both cold inside after I saw her heat it up the first time and then I told the lady that looked like that was running the place that the bbq was cold and she asked one of the staff to reheat it. Smh ‍ it should have been the right temperature the first place because I could've gotten sick being that it was cold PORK AND CHICKEN !! Then lastly I also ordered the mango slushie smh it was def a slush but the taste was off .. it didn't taste like mango and more like a powder flavor versus like a fresh mango from the pi if that's what's they were going for as flavor. Like I said I had high hopes for this place and was going to recommend this to my friends and family but after this experience I don't think so. We spent at least $80 on this meal and it's $80 we can't get back smh ‍ instead for dinner we went to concord to Isla to redeem our Filipino experience which was much better even tho the price was a bit higher but at least the food was GREAT tasting. Sorry, I really did want to come back here but not after what we both experienced. 1 star for the friendly staff and another star because at what my bf ordered he was good with it. read more

Was in the area and craving Filipino food. Found this place on yelp so thought I would check it out. I got a 2 item combo plate so I chose Bistek and Chicken Adobo. My dad passed away 2+ years ago and I haven't found a bistek that tastes just like his... until now. Almost made me cry. Also got some longanisa and shrimp chips. Thank you for the delicious food and making me miss my dad sooo much!!! read more

Hands down the best Filipino food in the Bay Area, dare I say even better than home-made. All the food is cooked and kept in warmers, ready for you to choose from. My favorite was the kare-kare with a side of bagoong. The lechon kawali was also top notch. My only note would be that I wasn't a fan of the rice. Jasmine rice would be a better option. So maybe, just buy entrees and cook rice at home. I recommend taking your food to-go, as there isn't much inside seating. You can also do some shopping for Filipino snacks, apparel, and trinkets. I'll definitely be back! read more

Just outside Travis AFB main entrance, this humble Filipino hole-in-the-wall store has a ton to offer! They have Filipino snacks, memorabilia/souvenirs, and awesome Filipino food! We had the Sinigang, Pinakbet, Adobong Pusit, Paksiw na Lechon, Chicken Adobo, and Pork Kilawin...and it didn't disappoint! The food was good and very delicious. My daughter is very particular when having her Sinigang and there are only a few places we go to outside of our home for Sinigang when we don't have it cooked at home, and this place was a thumbs up for her. On top of the regular Filipino dishes, they also have Filipino street food! We tried the Isaw and pork bituka and were pretty good too. The store owners are very friendly and helpful. We wil definitely be stopping by again next time we make a trip out to Travis. read more

Went to their pop-up at a Hawaiian festival obviously because I was feeling a craving for something Filipino food. I was looking at their food menu pictures and looked so yummy. I figured if I stand in line before they actually open I would get ahead of everyone and get some fresh cook food while its hot off the stove or grill. Anyways, I ordered the Lechon Kawali it looked simple and the portion looked more than enough. My order looked real delish but I hate say it but the lechon was dry even the dipping sauces didn't help to help go down any easier and as for the other half of the order it too was dry. Perhaps as the day moved along it may have gotten better...idk Maaaybe I'll try again sometime. read more

Katnas Kitchen has grown from a food truck at local events to a storefront, and we've loved watching the journey. The service is always friendly, the owners are welcoming, and the team takes care of every customer like family. Prices are reasonable, and the portion sizes are solid. We've had the pancit, adobo, halo-halo, and even some of the breakfast options, all flavorful and cooked right. If you're near Travis AFB or anywhere along Air Base Parkway and craving Filipino food, this is the spot to check out. There's a few tables inside and a couple outside. It's usually pretty laid-back unless it gets busy, but either way they're always ready to serve up something salty, sweet, and delicious. They also sell shirts and snacks inside, which gives the place a cool local vibe. Support local. Eat well. Follow me and friend me for more honest reviews and real local gems. read more

Without a doubt, I always tell everyone that needs Filipino catering to consider ordering from Katnas Kitchen. We've been a patron of hers since 2019 when she was doing catering from her home (way before the food event days) and have always been pleased with all her dishes. When I heard that Katna finally found her brick and mortar I was beyond thrilled. She has a great selection of Filipino food options and on weekends the resturant does Filipino Street Food - fresh to order. One thing to keep in mind is that the location is kind of out of the way (in the shopping center next to TAFB) but I can assure you that when the breakfast and lunch rush hits... You've gotta get there for the food as soon as it hits those steamers because they go quick. The dining area is small but they've recently placed some tables on the outside to accommodate more people. The inside is clean and has a ton of dried food items and Filipino culture attire. My favorites to order from her catering is the oxtail kare kare (super tender), her pancit, and lumpia. I'm also a fan of her bistek, tocino, and all the street food offerings (kwek kwek is fire). read more

Reading all the reviews speaking of the friendly, welcoming customer service and great food made me excited to try this place out. We placed an online order and made a 40 minute drive to pick up our food. When we arrived, I stood at the register for quite a while with no greeting or offer of assistance. It wasn't until I asked where to pick up my online order that I was briefly acknowledged and handed my bag of food. Although the taste of the food was good, I was disappointed since I had ordered breakfast plates that were supposed to come with garlic rice, and I was given plain white rice instead. I would have been okay with it if I was told on pickup, and wasn't just surprised once I arrived home. Although disappointed I would be willing to try this place again if we were in the area, but don't think I would make a 40 min trip out for it again. read more

Being a former military, I appreciate that this is so close to the Air Force base. How many times I wish I had Filipino food while I was at training. It's a small business with a few options for dining inside or outside. Not for larger groups. Friendly Filipino service. Snacks and souvenirs available for purchase. Lots of drink options. For a combination one item plate and a large order and a dessert plate totaled 35.96. Not bad if looking for pinoy eats. read more

Katna catered for my recent event and the food was delicious. My guest kept asking me who catered cuz they love the food. The food had the Kapampangan palette, rich & savory taste! The Kare-Kare with their home made shrimp paste.. exceptional! I ordered Palabok, Beef Caldareta, Pinakbet, BBQ Chicken, Pork Sisig, Lechon. My fav is their tender Tapsilog! It's hard to find good tender Beef Tapa around... It's not like other places like Beef Jerky. If you want something cool.. they have Halo-Halo, Buko Pandan, Mais Con Yellow! The owners are super friendly & inviting! Thank you Katna for opening in Fairfield. They're close to Travis AFB. Check them out! read more

I feel so conflicted about this review. I was super excited when Katnas opened in my hometown and I wanted to love them so bad but my first visit left me disappointed. They're located in an old strip mall, not much around, so plenty of parking available. When I walked in, there was just one girl crocheting at the table. It seemed like a bother that she had to get up to help me, so our conversation was very lackluster and unenthusiastic. Almost all the trays of food were pretty filled, except the sisig. I almost missed it because the sisig had no color at all other than the browned meat. I was hoping for a brighter look, maybe some onions and peppers but I decided to give it a try anyways. I went with this and the chicken afritada as my options for the two item plate. I added a small side of kare kare and 1 pork bbq stick. The kare kare here is made with pork which was new to me. The girl seemed like she was careful to make sure i had equal meat and veggies and sauce but when I took it home, there was a giant pork bone and fat, barely any meat. Other than that, the sauce was sooooo good especially with the bagoong (shrimp paste). They give the bagoong to you on the side to add in yourself. This is very necessary but go light, esp if you're new to shrimp paste. It's a strong salty flavor. The chicken afritada was tender with chunks of potatoes and carrots, but there wasn't much flavor other than a light tomato sauce mixed with hella oil. This was swimming in grease. The pork bbq was actually good, tender and sweet, but had a good amount of fat mixed throughout. I like this though and felt this was worth the $4/stick. The sisig was not it. It didn't have the signature citrus, savory flavor that sisig is supposed to have. Their signature is supposed to be award winning, and when I tried it at the 626 night market, it was really good. But here..... hard pass. I had to take it home and redo it to make it tasty :( The two item plate isn't a bad deal, about $16 before tax and the portions are decent. They pack the entrees in small containers on the side, and the mains: pancit, rice or garlic rice, in its own container. I asked for half garlic rice and pancit but they were out. She said they only had fried rice.. so random but the fried rice was actually pretty good. The pancit is yummy too. They use the thicker canton noodles, which is my preference, and lots of tender veggies. I appreciate the lemon wedges they gave and how they packaged the food, but the overall quality and taste did not hit the mark. My total for everything came to $30 after tax. Even though my visit left me a bit sad, I plan to come back for a second try. I'm really hoping I'll be pleasantly surprised the next time! read more

EXCELLENT FILIPINO FOOD. You may have heard of Katna's Kitchen before - that awesome Filipino spot at 626 Night Market and Foodieland or maybe have heard it from your friends/family - but here it is in its physical location, I couldn't be any happier. Even though I don't live in the area, I made my way out to Fairfield for some of this delicious Filipino food! AMBIANCE: 4/5. Located in a quiet corner but with plenty of parking. As soon as you walk in, you see an open & clean restaurant with some indoor seating (several tables and surrounding chairs) and shelves against the walls with Filipino goodies and merch (canned goods, snacks, magnets, decors, etc.) that they are selling. Right in front, you'd see the food in a heated display case with the names of the dishes attached to the glass window. SERVICE: 5/5. We've been a customer of Katna's we've known of their business and since we've lived in the Bay Area - they without a doubt have some of the friendliest and most welcoming owners and staff! FOOD: 5/5. Katna's offers a variety of traditional comfort and also unique Filipino dishes, ranging from street food skewers to combination plates, all within reasonable prices. The calamansi slushie I had was so refreshing and was a perfect side to all the good savory dishes. Portions are big and the quality/authentic taste of this Kapampangan food will not disappoint! OVERALL: 5/5. All-in-all delicious food with friendly staff. Make sure you try it out if you're in the area and have a great dining experience (say hi to Agnes if she's there, she's wonderful and will make you feel so welcomed). I can't wait to be back for some more Katna's! read more
