    Yo, this is fusion done right. Smash Burgers + Filipino flavors. I wasnt sure how it would work out since Pandesal can be a bit dry by itself. But they sauce up their burgers nicely, leaving you wanting to take another bite. I had the Single with a an order of the Oanda fries with an egg on top for the chefs kiss. Staff was super nice and helpful, took the time to explain the menu. Def looking forward to trying out the longaniza and corned beeg egg & cheese breaky sandos. Panda Sal's is located in the Steel Craft food garden in Bellflower. FYI not all the Steel Crafts have the same vendor lineup. They have adjacent public parking, usually not that bad on weekdays, not sure about the weekend.

    I tried the ube sliders, curly fries, and Panda fries with corned beef. I ordered everything to go and was surprised that the sliders were individually wrapped. I thought that was a really nice touch. Each order came with three sliders, and they were actually a good size. I got full after eating two. The burger itself was very tasty. I know pandesal bread is supposed to be a bit thicker, but I personally wish it had been softer and a little more dense, more like a regular hamburger bun. The curly fries were good and stayed crispy even by the time I ate them. The Panda fries were tasty too, but a little on the salty side. The corned beef came in a patty form, which made it harder to spread throughout the fries. Overall everything was delicious, but it did feel pretty heavy after eating. The restaurant is a stand inside SteelCraft, so it can get crowded and parking can be a bit difficult.

    My boyfriend and I were at the Steel Craft and decided to try this place out. We wanted something small so we got the Panda Style Fries which is curly fries with your choice of protein topped with cheese, grilled onions, their signature sauce, and a side of pickles. We ordered it with longanisa as our protein, however when we got it we got it with spam. And we did not get a side of pickles. If you look at the picture I posted, if your eat it from the top, you get all the goods that's included on the fries. So you gotta mix it so you get it all in every bite. We both agreed we enjoyed it. We were a little disappointed we didn't get it with longanisa. Service we okay. My boyfriend said when we went to order, the worked were just chilling and didn't even acknowledge him as he was standing there wait to order. The ambiance of this place is cool. It's a chill place to watch a basketball or football game as Panda Sal's is located next to a place that sells beer.

    Been wanting to try this place for months, only to be disappointed. :( Took us almost 2 hrs to drive here because of the awful LA traffic, parking was nice, they have a decently sized lot and it's free for 2 hrs. We walked into this huge food hall, beautiful space honestly and plenty of tables and seating. I guess we entered from the back side and couldn't find their location which was hidden from facing the other side. We walked up to order, no line, menu was very hard to read since the screen is inside the window and had SO much glare but we managed. Ordered a classic burger, curly fries, and the Ube sliders which we were very excited to try. There was another customer on the side, complaining about how their buzzer still didn't go off but the lady worker said it was going to be a few minutes, turns out they were waiting for almost 30 minutes, I should've taken that as a sign. We got our buzzer and found a table, 20 minutes passed and still no buzzer going off. I gave it another 10 minutes for a total of 30 and just walked up to now a very busy, long line spot. I waited on the side till she noticed me, she paused taking the order of the guy and turned around and grabbed my food tray from the back. She apologized and asked if my buzzer didn't go off and I told her it did not. She apologized again and said if the fries are cold, to let her know and she'll remake it. Odd that she only called out the fries as if they wouldn't remake the burgers if those were cold. I walked back to the table and my bf's drink was missing and I didnt even realize because I was just so tired and hungry. He went back to get it while I settled down. Food was room temp and I basically lost my appetite. I ended up eating one slider and took the rest home for later. The buns were not a great texture, definitely different and odd for sliders and probably won't order again. We both agreed that their pickles were delicious though lol. They were almost subtly pickly and more cucumbery like the kind you find at Korean markets. Otherwise I don't think we'll be back. IG: @ammysalamii

    Not a huge burger person but I love the smash burgers here. I usually get the single cheese burger and add an egg and it's perfection. The pandesal buns are so soft and fresh. I've also tried the loaded panda fries which were pretty solid as well! Keep in mind it's located at Steelcraft Bellflower and the parking is limited but not terrible

    Sliders

    Tried the ube sliders and it was really good! The bread's obviously very unique but the patty was also really juicy and not dry. Came over the weekend and they had live music in the shared space so atmosphere was great. Did ask for no pickles but they put them in anyway though.. will be coming back to try the longanisa burger next!

    This place is located inside Steelcraft Bellflower. There are plenty of tables and seats if you get there before the meal rush. We ordered ube sliders with smash burger and pandasal fries with longganisa. Ube Sliders with Smash Burger- You get an ube brioche bun with a burger patty, cheese, house sauce, pickles, and grilled onions. The meat was cooked with a nice sear and it was bursing with flavor. Cheese is gooey and creamy. Overall a delicious bite! Pandasal Fries with Longganisa- Crispy fries with longganisa pieces, house sauce, and an over easy egg on top. Every element works with the dish beautifully. I especially enjoyed the sweet and savory longganisa pieces. So filling and tasty! Great experience overall!

    I have to admit that I found this on a social media reel, and usually those are paid "influencers" that say whatever the business wants them to say (as in.. it's never usually as good as they say), but this one was GOOD. I wasn't expecting it to be in an outdoor food hall area. There was ample parking and seating, but I wish I could have just grabbed and gone because everything else was so tempting to try!! As for the food.. it was way better than I expected. I tried the spam burger and an ube slider. So good! The fries weren't as good because they just didn't hold up well and got cold right away so they were hard. Canned drinks keep this simple. Service is friendly and quick. The taste is worth the price. I just wish I had a reason to visit Bellflower more often.

    Panda Sal's caught my eye because they offer burgers and fries with a Filipino twist. I don't usually order burgers but I just had to try it! I'm a sucker for Spam so I went with the Spam Burger. The burger included pickles, a sunny side up egg, cheese and sauce. I never had pandesal before but I can say that I really enjoyed it as the burger bun. The sunny side up egg can get a little messy but I think it's worth it. I thoroughly enjoyed my burger and would totally come back here again. I look forward to trying the other items on the menu. In terms of seating, there are plenty available and there is plenty of parking as well. Whenever I'm craving a burger, I know right where to go!

    Panda Style fries with longanisa and egg
    Jacob R.

    I was craving Filipino food with a twist so I went to check out this place. This place is worth a try! I ordered the Egg n Cheese sandwich with longanisa, along with their panda style fries with longanisa and an egg. The presentation of the meal looks amazing. But, I did not like the taste of the longanisa. The flavor is more dark and harsh, and less sweet. The flavor is too strong and overpowering, maybe if I balanced my order with another meat choice instead of everything longanisa. I wouldn't have this "feeling" towards the longanisa flavor. Other than that, this place did satisfy my craving and surely piqued my interest. The service was great as well, the cashier helped me order and it was ready within 10 minutes.

    Panda Sal Single Burger, Corned Beef, Curly Fries
    Marlo Y.

    My girlfriend and I came across this place from an Instagram reel calling it a "Filipino In-N-Out," so we decided to check it out. It's located inside SteelCraft, which is convenient for parking, and there's outdoor seating in the courtyard if you want to eat outside. Service was decent -- nothing stood out, but everything ran smoothly and we got our food without any issues. We ordered the Panda Sal single cheeseburger, the corned beef egg & cheese, and a side of curly fries. The food was tasty, but I found it a bit overpowering halfway through. The dishes were quite salty and oily, and I would have appreciated more veggies or something to balance out the flavors. I'm not sure I'd compare it directly to In-N-Out, but it was fun to try something different and flavorful. Overall, a decent experience for trying something new. The flavors are bold, but the richness can get heavy fast. I'm glad I tried it, though I'm not sure I'd come back regularly.

    Saw a few videos of this place and really wanted to give it a try, since I really love pandesal! It's inside the Steelcraft in Bellflower and theres plenty of seating! We ordered the Spamburger and the Panda Sal Double Burger. Service was really fast and the staff were kind and patient! The food was absolutely delicious! The burgers were so stuffed and we felt so full. Definitely lived up to the hype!

    Ooo we wanted flavor and we got it at Panda Sal's. Been hearing that this is comparable to the Filipino inn n out and with good reason. Their ube sliders were incredible, just perfect size for little ones but this time it was just us parents indulging on some great comfort food on date day. The prices are not bad and we came right when they opened so service was quick. I can imagine it gets busy on weekends but since we came on a Thursday morning we got lucky. Their sauce really is what brings all the flavors together so keep up the amazing work behind the scenes. And the warm pandesal was toasted juuuuust right, my burger didn't get too soggy and we all know how discouraging that can be so I don't know how they are doing it... but they are! Looking forward to coming back to support as we love love Filipino food

    The Ube sliders are delicious! There's flavor in every bite, from the bun to the patty. Perfect guilt free size. You won't be disappointed.

What I received was essentially a regular steamed-style burger with smash-style sauce on it. There was no char, no crust, and none of the texture you would expect from a smash burger. I was very disappointed. The patty was soft and heavy in a way that didn't feel special or well-executed. We also ordered the chili fries with pastrami, which honestly helped save the meal. The flavor on those was decent, though I personally wish they used regular-cut fries instead of crinkle cut, which made it feel more processed than it needed to be. On the positive side, parking was easy in the plaza with wide spaces, and the wait time was reasonable--about 15 minutes for three burgers and fries. The establishment appears to be Filipino-owned. The menu simply says "burger," but Yelp labels it as a smash burger spot, which is confusing because the presentation includes brioche buns and a smash-style mustard sauce, but not the actual cooking technique of a smash burger. It's unclear what they are trying to be. Overall, it just didn't meet expectations. I'll stick with For The Win instead.
