I saw there are a lot of rave reviews of this small neighborhood Filipino diner so I was excited to check it out when I drove by. They offer à la carte items as well as Panda Express type fast food. I chose the lechon silog and a combo with pancit and garlic tacos with pork adobe and Filipino chicken curry. The owner was really nice and introduced each dish to me and offer a taste if I liked. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed. The garlic rice was hard and dry and cold. The lechon was not crispy and was dry and chewy. The pancit was a bit mushy. I am not a connoisseur of Filipino food so perhaps I just don't know how to appreciate the food.

I came in a little after 1 and got the tocilog breakfast plate. Service was great. They offered some sinigang soup along with my food. Good portion for food and garlic rice was a1 I would come back again if I'm in the area if I want to fulfill my Filipino craving

First time getting a catering order from here. ( ordered 11 items ) Everything was delicious and will definitely be back for more. They also do a whole lechon which I saw on the menu and will need to try next time we have an event. Super thumbs up!

First time coming here. We had a good experience, from food to service to good location. There is a good parking space. As soon as we entered, we were welcome with warm greetings. Staff were nice , efficient and very accommodating. Service was good as well. Offered us with water and let us eat before we pay. Made sure if we were okay and need anything else. The place was clean and neat. Food was yummy, they have good combination of food. Lots of variety of food to choose from. All looks good and yummy. Hard to decide which one to pick. I want to try them all. We had laing which was similar to home. You can taste the cocomilk. it was savory. Food was perfectly presented, served hot and fresh especially the eggs, we're given how we want our eggs cooked. The garlic rice tasty, rich in garlic. The fried isaw was super crunchy and inviting from that corner. The silogs were all day available, each kind is very enticing. Can't wait to comeback soon again. Looking forward to try their food trays soon as well.

We stopped by for lunch on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. The store was clean and very well lit. Menus were posted on the windows and on the glass. Everything was freshly made when we arrived. We ordered a 2 item combo w the longanisa and Bicol Express as well as a 1 item with menudo. The longanisa was meaty and sweet and the Bicol Express has creamy and aromatic but it didn't have any vegetables. The menudo was had perfectly cooked potatos and had large, moist pieces of pork (though we were more used to menudo being made with beef). Each came with choice of rice or pancit (or half half). We both got rice though when we ordered, the staff said we could get garlic rice; however when we got home, it was just regular rice. :( That aside, LA Chibigan is definitely on the more affordable side (IMO) compared to other Filipino restaurants and stores in the area. Ps - the parking lot is tiny and limited

Mixed Pancit
Shirley N.

Compliments to the chef! The mixed PANCIT is one of the highly recommended items not to mention the famous DINAKDAKAN! So tasty, yummy, delicious. We had a work potluck and those items we ordered were a hit with the whole department. They even had the items delivered promptly by Marlon, nice guy. Edith helped coordinating the order, very efficient. I cant thank the whole LA Chibugan crew, what a team! And of course, next potluck, we will try other menu items to promote "Lasang Babalikbalikan!" Thank you! 5 stars in all aspects!

Kare kare combo plate
Joshua O.

I went here on Saturday. I got takeout. The kare kare was pretty good. I enjoyed every bite, it was rich and thick. I loved that the peanut flavor wasn't overpowering nor underwhelming. It came with bagoong but it was about a teaspoon. I wished it came with more. I like that the kare kare had bok choy and eggplant. The chicken curry was average. Service was good. The employee was helpful and explained what the names of the dishes were. The names weren't on the glass and I had trouble recognizing some of them. The ambiance was warm. I liked looking at the posters while I waited.

Tapasilog and Bangusilog
Angelie O.

If we crave Filipino breakfast, we come here!! The food is so freaking good and not so greasy like other places. Ask for a side of "sabaw" aka sinigang broth to go with your breakfast combo. You won't regret it! We also just love the service here! The owners and workers are so nice and friendly. They treat you like you are family. They keep the place clean and play old Filipino classic songs that make you feel like you're back in the motherland. Can't wait to come back!!!

Garlic Rice & Lechon and Egg
Albert C.

garlic rice is a MUST!!! loved it here & will be here again honestly! wanna try more of the other dishes. the portions are very generous and lechon was tasty but got cold quick, so i recommend asking them to warm it up if it is cold! the menu can be confusing, but i figured it out. * service: spectacular, super inviting and loving especially my first time here * ambiance: very lovely and small but cute * parking: free parking in the lot

Lechon Kawali, Bangusilog, Tapsilog
Cristina G.

Amazing Filipino food - so hearty it took me back to my childhood days! We also tried their crispy sisig - SO GOOD! The sisig flavor, crispiness & the "asim" factor of it was perfect! We loved all the silogs too!!! Will definitely return! Super helpful and friendly staff!

Went here on a Friday night around 7:40 and we found easy parking at the BofA across the block and…read morepaid with the LaZ Parking QR code posted up on the wall. It was a short walk across the street to Kuya Lord, where we entered into a cozy, welcoming space with various groups sat around a couple of communal 4 and 6-top tables. Thankfully there was an empty table so we snagged one! We ordered the beef tapsilog bowl and a special, the lucenachon sisig. The beef tapsilog bowl was delicious, the combo of the atchara (pickled veggies) and vinegar sauce was tops. The meat, the short ribs, were tender and tasty. Next-level. But the lucenachon sisig--it's not on their regular menu, just was listed on a card next to the register along with two other sold-out entrees. But I really hope the team elevates this to a permanent spot! It was truly one of, if not the best sisigs I've ever had. They chop up their famous lucenachon and toss it with a fair amount of onions and peppers and top it up with a poached egg. The crispy textures of the dish come together with the garlic rice and fried garlic/shallots--added with the different dimensions of flavor, plus those peppers and onions, came together for a flavor bomb in my mouth. We also shared one of their special iced teas, I forgot the name but it was long and berry-colored lol. But it was a great contrast to our dishes! Lastly we ended up sharing a dessert, the bibingka mamon. Sweet but not too sweet. Just right and the perfect way to end the meal. Still thinking about the sisig--very happy I had leftovers so I can eat it for breakfast tomorrow hehe.

This tiny eatery has a dining room the size of my walk-in closet, but the cleverly placed bar…read moreheight tables provide seating for, I'm guessing, 24. It feels divey, and the staff is chill friendly. Of course the star of the visit was the food. The Lechon Kawali was excellent: I like that it was cut in true bite sized pieces, and each had beautiful layers of crispy rind, melty fat, and flavorful meat. The accompanying garlic fried rice and pickled veg were perfect partners, rounding out a perfect dish. I also tried the Lucenachon, their signature rolled pork dish and the chargrilled, which were both tender and tasty, and the fried fish balls were delicious, as well. This place isn't fancy, but the Filipino cuisine is definitely elevated in both rounded, balanced flavors and textures and in its simple yet lovely presentation. I can see why it caught James Beard attention. This food is definitely cravable.

The Kare Kare from Spoon & Pork is nothing short of a warm, comforting hug in a bowl…read more When the dish arrived at my table, I was immediately drawn to its rich, golden peanut sauce -- smooth and fragrant, with a roasted nuttiness that made my mouth water before I even took a bite. Nestled in the sauce were vibrant, perfectly cooked vegetables: tender bok choy, slightly charred green beans, and slices of eggplant that had soaked up all the savory depth of the stew. At the heart of the dish lay generous chunks of beef -- fork-tender, deeply flavored, with just enough fat to melt into the sauce and give it that rich, silky mouthfeel Kare Kare is known for. Sprinkled over the top were crunchy bits, adding a satisfying contrast to every spoonful. Of course, the small side of bagoong (fermented shrimp paste) was essential -- a modest dollop transformed each bite, balancing the sweetness and creaminess of the peanut sauce with a punch of briny intensity. Paired with steaming garlic rice, every scoop felt like the perfect blend of textures and flavors, a true homage to the Filipino classic. Eating Spoon & Pork's Kare Kare felt both nostalgic and elevated -- the heart and soul of a traditional comfort food presented with an eye for freshness and balance. It's the kind of dish that makes you slow down, savor each bite, and immediately start planning your next visit.

4.5 stars. Sorry,…read moreguys - I'm still catching up on my reviews and am kicking myself for failing to write this before Spoon & Pork permanently shut its doors. This was an unforgettable eatery. During our trip to Los Angeles in May, 2023, Wendell invited Jay, Z and me to meet up with Veda and him for a late lunch at 2 PM at one of their favourite Filipino restaurants, Spoon & Pork, on Sunday, the 7th. Spoon & Pork, which originated as a food truck, was a restaurant that specialized in Filipino comfort food with a contemporary twist. They offered a fresh, inventive fusion of the flavours of the Philippines with modern sophistication. Nestled in the vibrant heart of Los Angeles' Silver Lake neighbourhood, Spoon & Pork was a cozy boutique eatery on bustling Sunset Boulevard that greeted guests with a neon pig sign at their front entrance. No private lot on this busy street, so finding nearby parking was a bit challenging and although the charming spot offered both indoor and al fresco dining, seating was also limited. The tropical-inspired dining room with warm wood accents created an effortlessly cool and relaxed atmosphere that felt both modern and rooted in tradition. Upon entry, guests were welcomed by the aroma of sizzling meats and fragrant spices which alluded to the culinary journeys to come. The food at Spoon & Pork wasn't exactly what one's nanay (mom) or lola (grandma) would cook. Celebrating fresh takes on the richness of Filipino cuisine, the menu was an invitation to indulge in unexpected, compelling twists on a thoughtfully curated selection of traditional dishes, infusing familiar flavours into new forms. Below are what we ordered: beef tapa ($25) - MASARAP (DELICIOUS)! Of all the dishes that we ordered, this was the winner of them all as the succulent meat packed a punch of flavour. adobo tofu ($14) - One of Wendell's regular orders, this notable plant-based option, was a tasty, innovative take on the Philippine classic that balanced tradition with modern creativity. laing ($9) - From their platito, small plates section, this bowl of coconut braised taro leaves was rich and creamy deliciousness, but, yes, mini in portion size. garlic rice ($4/$7) - Ordering the garlic rice over plain jasmine rice was a no brainer. Thoroughly infused with the savouriness of the many bits of garlic, this rice perfectly paired with all of the other dishes. bistek ($28) - The skirt steak was very tender and the sauce perfectly balanced the tanginess from the calamansi juice with the savoury soy sauce. lechon kawali ($23) - Another reimagined classic dish featuring crispy, golden pork belly with crunchy skin and tender, flavourful meat inside. The dish was complemented by a tangy, pickled red cabbage that enhanced the crispy texture and added a refreshing contrast. This mastery of flavour and texture tickled Z's tastebuds and won him over. Before this day, Z was never a fan of Filipino food. Everything tasted boldly rich and every bit intensely intoxicated our taste buds. Service was quick, friendly, and attentive. What a remarkably epicurean feast and delightful experience we enjoyed! We're super bummed that Spoon & Pork permanently closed shoppe. Z and I were hoping to return for another tasty meal. Truly, a worthy spot this place was to hit up for an impressively creative taste of the Philippines in Los Angeles.

When we walked in, there was a full jazz band made up of what looked like high school students playing. Despite there only being a few families in the audience(presumably their parents), the energy was infectious with loud whoops and clapping every time someone finished a solo. I didn't know any of these kids but I was cheering the entire time. Everyone, including the other customers were very friendly. The food itself was incredible, super affordable with huge portions. Every dish we tried was so delicious, we couldn't stop talking about how good the food was. I ordered the Pork Sisig and it could've easily fed 3 people alone.
