Pang Inasal -- We're writing this as constructive criticism in hopes it helps improve the experience. We came in genuinely excited to try the food but unfortunately left disappointed. We ordered the chicken inasal, and it was surprisingly bland. The flavor just wasn't there unless you heavily smothered it in chicken oil. Even then, it didn't feel particularly fresh, which was disappointing given that we visited around lunchtime and expected freshly cooked food. The sisilog was even more problematic. My first bite was a complete turnoff--it was tough to the point that I genuinely thought I had bitten into a bone. The meat was dry and largely flavorless. I've had sisig countless times--home-cooked, in restaurants around SoCal, and in the Philippines--and this one simply tasted off. It didn't taste fresh, and it lacked the savory depth sisig is known for. Even the garlic rice, while fluffy, didn't carry that signature garlicky punch. It felt more aromatic than flavorful. We also attempted to order the coconut slushee, but were told it was unavailable or no longer good, which was confusing. We were advised to just get a can of soda instead. Customer service wasn't particularly pleasant either, with the exception of the younger gentleman who brought our food out--he was courteous and the only bright spot in the service experience. As for the ambiance, it's very plain. It honestly felt more like a storage space than a restaurant, with boxes blocking the sunlight from coming in. The overall atmosphere didn't feel inviting. It's rare for us to be this critical of cooking, but this just wasn't it. Given our experience, we highly doubt we'll be returning. We hope improvements can be made, because we genuinely wanted to enjoy this meal.

Came for breakfast. Plenty of choices for Filipino breakfast served all day: tapsilog, tocilog, cornilog, sisilog. Also other traditional dishes that I noticed on the menu: batchoy (a soup that my dad used to make so that's definitely on my list for when I come back), chicken inasal (a Bacolod specialty) and honestly I can't remember what else was on the menu because my eyes zeroed in on those 2 items. I didn't have either one but I'm saving those for my next visit. Today, I had tocilog... a traditional Filipino breakfast of Tocino (marinated fried pork), fried egg and garlic rice with tomato and cucumber as garnish. It was cooked well and we enjoyed it. There were also some condiments at the front counter: Atchara (a pickled papaya slaw) IT WAS SOOOO GOOD, bagoong (fermented fish - hey, don't knock it till you try it... it really is very good) and a 3rd choice but I can't remember what it is. Heidi took our order and said that she and her sister ran the restaurant. She was very friendly and we got to talking about the Philippines and the various foods from different regions. She was attentive and came over to our table and asked how the food was and if we needed anything else. That's great service! Thanks Heidi!!! A good amount of seating is available and the TV played videos of Filipino singers. Nice ambiance. The restaurant is well located off a busy street so lots of good exposure. There's lots of parking which is a plus for when it gets busy. We'll definitely be back!!!

Pang Inasal West Covina, CA Date went: 10/19/25 (Sunday) around 6:15pm (2 hours before closing); not busy at all, no other costumers present inside the establishment Inside: As a Filipina, I LOVE the wooden Philippines flag on the ceiling. It was slight hot, but it seems they might be working on their air conditioning as there were fans on the ground. It also seems like this location might be working on some internal and external projects regarding their building as there was a man outside possibly cleaning their windows. My boyfriend's family and I decided to take our food to go rather than eating there. Staff: Friendly, patient, and willing to be of assistance and answer questions regarding menu items. I ordered: Chicken Inasal Rating: 9/10; the chicken Inasal was so delicious, it was juicy and citrusy and quite possibly one of my favorite grilled chickens I've ever ate. It reminds me of a way better version of pollo asado. If I'm ever in the area I will definitely be coming again just for the chicken. Being that it was my first time having Filipino style chicken, it left me a GREAT first impression. My boyfriend's family ordered other items, but I did not try them so I cannot provide a rating. My chicken was still delicious after taking it back home after a 35 minute drive. Bonus: They sell discounted items on their counter, when we went there was some items that were 50% off.

Newly opened Filipino Cuisine Restaurant last January 2025. They serve freshly grilled dishes that Very friendly hospitable welcoming staff! Counter service only. Ordered : TOCILOG : sweet marinated Pork pieces, fried rice topped with over easy egg with side of sliced tomatoes and cucumbers plus cup of coffee! This Tocilog is a popular breakfast combo and its served ALL DAY !!! Yeahhhhh!!! Pork meat was tender and had a tinge smoky sweet bacon taste and really really so delicious!!!! Hubby got the signature CHICKEN INASAL combo plate which included a leg quarter and rice with side of sliced tomatoes and cucumbers plus a can of soda!! Chicken was served smoked and grilled BBQ style!! This dish comes with unlimited rice .... So nice to know !! They sell snacks so before leaving we gotta have chicharon and Haw Flakes !!!! We got samples of the ATCHARA ( pickled grated green papaya) and their homemade Salted Shrimp Paste ( BAGOONG)!!!

Ordered chicken Inasal. Good flavor. Grilled just right. Tosilog breakfast served all day. Their own version of tocino is mild flavored Filipino hamonado. Reminds me of back home flavor I grew up with. Service good friendly and very accommodating. Ambiance is very comfortable. Came for lunch and in time for a quiet and enjoyable meal together. Will definitely Visit again.

First time trying this new Filipino spot and overall it was solid. Ordered the lechon kawali, chicken inasal, bangus inasal, and lumpia and everything was good. Both inasal dishes stood out and paired really well with the sauces and atchara. The lechon kawali was tasty. Lumpia was decent, the wrapper was a bit paler than I'm used to but still enjoyable. Food was good overall and portions were filling.

Tocino Sisilog
Angelene C.

I've been meaning to try this place out. So far I've tried the chicken inasal and the tocino-silog. Both items came out fairly quickly and were easy to order. You order and pay at the front then they will bring your order to your table once you've chosen your own seat. The restaurant itself is pretty big and is located on the corner of a busy street. They have TV's playing acoustic music and lots of windows. The service is fast and they are very friendly and personable in the front. When I got the chicken inasal, they showed me which sauces to use and how I'm supposed to eat it! I'd definitely recommend this place to bring my friends and anyone in the area wanting to try!

Went there today to get breakfast to my surprise it was good I got the corniglog and longanisaiglog and Joe rock and chicharon the rice was good tasty and the corn beef was good and I can taste it is not water down everything was good will be returning and recommending the place is big and just need to do a big and should do a brunch type breakfast on Saturday and Sunday and have a grand opening is in a prefect spot apartments and offices around it they should take advantage of it and do a a buffet style instead I think it will do well if it did

Pork sisig
Kara S.

We always pass by this restaurant when we go to the mall or Haven City Market. Was very curious. So when my mom said that she wanted a Filipino brunch for mother's day, we turned to Yelp and found that they had good reviews. Went ahead and tried them out. My mom had the arroz caldo, I had the jepsilog (jeprox, sinangag, itlog), hubs got the longsilog and a side of sisig. Mom loved the arroz caldo and the silogs were good (more garlic in the sinangag please :)). Will come back to see if their kare kare is good (my fave). Place is good for big parties - plenty of room. They are very nice and very helpful.

Ask me--I won't say no How could I?  Chicken Inasal Combo from #PangInasal
Mojo S.

I wanted to like this place. I love a good chicken inasal and theirs was quite good--moist, flavorful, and a fairly big portion. Also, the pandesal as a side is a nice touch. It makes for a great accompaniment to the meal. No, the problem was the aesthetics, ambience, and customer service. When I walked up to the counter I was greeted with a pretty lackluster, "Yes?" No words of greeting and nothing like, "Can I take your order?"--it was like he was offended by having to serve a customer. Also, the meal itself looked just unflattering. The presentation with its plain paper plate, canned soda, and barebones rice and ulam spartan portioning made it look like a prison meal that no one involved took any pride in making or serving up. Yes, the food was delicious, but it's like they made an effort to hide that fact from you. I don't know what made have made it better. Real plates or maybe even just some kind of design? Maybe a serving tray? Or like a garnish to put some color into the plating? Or it could've just as simple as putting the pandesal on a large enough plate to include it in the whole dish too. It just all felt very sterile and utilitarian when food, at least to some degree, should look amazing when it first gets to you. Also, it's the same with the atmosphere. It was eerily quiet inside the plain walls and low lighting. I felt like I was eating in a library or church. No one was engaging with each other. No one seemed to want to be eating there. It was like we were eating a meal against our will. I know reviews should be mostly about the food, but it shouldn't be a sense of dread that you feel when thinking about walking into a restaurant. I want to feel uplifted by a meal and not like I'm being punished for wanting to eat chicken inasal.

Love the flag design on the ceiling

I got the chicken meal combo and omg! I have never tasted such a succulent and tasty chicken!!! Pang Inasal you must tell us the recipe because this chicken was moist and delectable!! I also enjoyed trying some of these little sides and a very hot Thai chili nevertheless I will definitely come back and order me another chicken and try something these! Salamat po!

Chicken Inasal
Rhyce A.

Here for a Filipino breakfast fix. First-timer, place isn't hard to find. Was one of the first customers. You order in and grab a seat. Condiments like bagoong (shrimp paste), atchara, calamansi are available at the counter. The menu is pretty simple and straightforward, price is affordable considering today's economy. Food items ordered as follows: 1. Dasilog: fried bangus, fried rice topped with an egg with sides of tomato and cucumber. Fish is cooked and seasoned just right. 2. Sisilog: sisig, fried rice topped with an egg, sides of tomato and cucumber. Sisig had a hint of flavor, very bland. 3. Chicken Inasal: available to order as a la carte which is what we got or a combo meal with rice. I have tasted better. The flavor was on the shy side, a cliffhanger, every bite you wish to taste the savory famous inasal flavoring but disappointed my taste buds over and over again. 4. Lugaw: fairly portioned, another disappointment, flavor on the very bland side, no patis (fish sauce) available to at least enhance the flavor. Overall a 4/10.

Chicken Empenada (cut open)
Ian A.

If Seafood City Supermarket had an empty cafeteria, it would resemble Pang Inasal. I arrived on the weekend (around 12:30PM). When I opened the door, the thick aroma of stale air and pungent wind hit me. Pang Inasal smelled very musty. I immediately decided to order To-Go. I selected the Chicken Empanada and Ensaymada. The staff assured the Empanada was freshly baked. The location is empty and quiet, and I'd left within four minutes. The Chicken Empanada is very small. It's the same size of a fork's head. The crust is doughy and buttery; however, the breading is thicker than the tiny, dry filling. The Ensaymada is sticky, chewy, and rubbery. It tasted cold and flavorless. Red Ribbon is miles ahead. Overall, (concerning the baked goods) Pang Inasal is forgettable. Perhaps the location serves better cooked dishes, but I immediately wanted to leave once entering. 2.5/5

Someone has spent a lot of time creating such a detailed space. I'm not into anime, Pokémon, or fighting card games, but I still enjoyed seeing everything. I ordered the blueberry matcha. As the worker was making it, I noticed they used a matcha whisk. It was fresh, not from a squeeze bottle or premade, which made me happy. I feel that when matcha is made fresh it tastes better and more care goes into the drink and the craft. I will say the cold foams were in a squeeze bottle and premade. The worker said they're made fresh daily, which does add some comfort, but I still prefer them made to order. Anyway, I received my drink and gave it a taste. The matcha itself was very good--nicely blended and refreshing. I could taste the blueberry nicely. I believe the oat milk enhances the flavor and gives it more depth. Next time I'll try some of their food. This review is solely for the blueberry matcha.

Cafe Valer is a small, local cafe tucked away inside the larger Plaza West Covina shopping mall…read more With many food options to choose from in this general area, I never knew Cafe Valer was even here until a friend recommended it to me. Hearing great things about their sandwiches, I came by around 5:30PM on a Friday and tried one of their Garlic Sirloin Steak Ciabatta Paninis that goes for $14. The place was small and plenty of people were looking for a meal, so the food took awhile before it hit the table. But to that point, the staff bring your food directly to your seat should you choose to dine in. The sandwich was much bigger than I initially thought it was going to be. With two large wedges stuffed with a signature sweet sauce, large pieces of steak, melted cheese, sliced tomatoes, and two toasted pieces ciabatta, there was a lot to eat. So much so that even a half of the sandwich could easily be enough for those with modest appetites. At the $14 price tag in West Covina, other restaurants in the area only include basic ingredients like sliced ham, turkey, or diced chicken. Cafe Valer turns this around and gives a large helping of sirloin steak at a generous price point. Price to portion is a steal here and can easily make what should be a single meal into food for days. Though made up of just a few ingredients, the sandwich had to be one of the best ones I've had in the San Gabriel Valley, no exaggeration needed. The ciabatta was toasted perfectly with just the right amount of crisp on the crust. The tomatoes in the sandwich gave a refreshing baseline for the dish and even complimented the light, sweet vegetable sauce in the sandwich. Of anything to highlight, the steak was definitely the best part. Because the cheese was melted to just the right temperature, the cheesiness absorbed into the already juicy pieces of steak. I liked how moist the meat was, especially since the steak was already fully cooked through. Cafe Valer is an underrated gem that continues to anchor the West Covina community with flavorful, affordable food offerings. From the small shop feel to the great tasting food and the affordable price point, there was nothing bad to say about my experience there. Cafe Valer is a solid 5 star spot, no questions asked. The restaurant seems to have quite the range with a variety of sandwiches, wraps, breakfast, and dessert items. So the next time I'm in the area, I'll be back to give more of their food a try!

It's a small café that offers a good variety of sandwiches, wraps, desserts, and drinks. My favorite is the spicy sirloin steak wrap. The ingredients always taste fresh, and the flavors are well-balanced. Their sandwiches are also very good. The cashier was friendly, and I noticed that the employees seemed to genuinely respect each other. You can tell there's good teamwork and probably some solid training behind it. Unfortunately, I had to take one star off because of the Americano I ordered this time. Whoever made it did a really poor job, to be honest. The espresso tasted like it hadn't been extracted properly, almost as if there wasn't enough pressure during extraction. It was extremely watery, with barely any coffee flavor. I took one sip and ended up throwing it away. Since it was a takeout order and I had already left, I couldn't ask them to remake it. I've ordered the same Americano here before and never had this issue, so I'm hoping it was just a one-time mistake. Despite the disappointing coffee, I still really like this place and will definitely be coming back. The food quality, friendly service, and overall experience are worth it.
