    Came in on a weekday, not busy at all. Walked in and was greeted Very spacious and clean. There are tables and chairs to dine in. A lot of items to choose from. The only thing I didn't like, we ordered the kawali and it wasn't crispy at all. I had to airfry when we got home. The had three different sauces which were good. The bibikq was good, loved the salted egg and prices were decent.

    Lechon Kawai
    Kosoma J.

    This little hole in the wall place is literally down the street from me and I dream about their Lechon Kawai all the time lol . The food is always good and fresh here! The service is ok here, I wish they were a little more welcoming especially if it's not as busy. Only reason I gave it 4 star I've had their beef stick and lumpia but their best is the lechon Kawai I love eating it fresh and hot where and their rice is so seasoned. If you are looking for a Filipino spot, this is the place

    Pork Liempo
    Bienvenido A.

    Not a big place but very big on service and food flavor and quality. At home comfortable ambiance. Shannon took good care of us. Warm and friendly to every customer. Ordered pork liempo, pinakbet, sisig and taho for dessert Name of the place have changed but food quality, flavor and service remained as good as it was a year ago. Still deserves my five star and come back visit.

    I was surprised to find a Filipino spot nearby. I found this place randomly on yelp and decided to try them out. The food was good. The bbq chicken had a lot of flavor the first time we had it but the following week and it tasted a little different but still not bad. The java rice was the same, good the first time but tasted different and dry the following week. We went here twice and wanted to try the chicken inasal but they keep running out of it. I'll return again because i would want to eventually try the chicken inasal but also see if the flavor is consistent. Their pricing isn't too bad and I'd recommend it for a Filipino bbq fix that's nearby. They don't have a big sign up but hopefully my picture helps people find the place

    Love, love, love the grilled milkfish! This is a sure stop for us whenever we are in this area. Service is always amazing, and i love that the meat is not super salty . Additionally, i don't know what ingredients they have in the rice but i love it! It is not just the plain steamed rice.

    I found this gem of a place on Yelp searching for a barbecue place near me. I ordered the 3 pcs. Pork bbq meal, the boneless bangus meal, and two crispy patas over the phone for pickup. The service was excellent and friendly. The server and cook were very helpful explaining what other food items they have. The food quality was excellent and very tasteful. The price is very reasonable and the food portions were generous. Definitely will be coming back to try and enjoy their other dishes.

    Pork Sisig - solo size $11

    I wasn't even searching for a Filipino food but this place came up top of the list closest to where I was during a random resto search. Since I don't know of any Filipino food around Fontana area, I couldn't wait to try! I called in my orders for pick up. We tried the ff: 1. Pork bbq stick 3 pieces meal - delish! 2. Chilean sea bass meal - delish! 3. Solo pork sisig - delish! (tasted authentic) 3. Taho - delish! 4. Halo-halo delish! Well, let me tell you..everything was DELICIOUS! Prices were reasonable and good portions. I hope we support this place and that the quality of food remains. I will definitely spread out the good word and I hope you guys try it too. Happy tummy!

    It's a small Filipino restaurant in Fontana. My husband and I came for dinner after watching a movie. They offered grilled bbq meat fresh to cook if you ordered. We ordered grilled salmon collar and stir fry white squash with ground beef. Both were tasty and salmon was cooked well. Dessert was halo halo very refreshing. Be back again

    Pork menudo with rice
    Net A.

    First visit to this location. They had a soft opening in August 2023. As we entered the restaurant we fed our phone first , took pictures of the interior and menus. The restaurant walls are decorated by framed inspirational quotes! A gentleman at the counter greeted us warmly with that Filipino hospitality. Romnick reminded us that my food order will take at least 30 -40 minutes. Well that's ok , because the Pork Menudo was already cooked at the buffet warmer so we ate while waiting for our to go order!! I knew what I wanted to order: Chicken Inasal ( marinated and grilled) Skewered Pork BBQ meal Skewered Chicken BBQ Pork Liempo ( Pork Belly Grilled BBQ) Pork Lumpiang Shanghai (mini pork egg rolls) Pork Menudo (diced pork and liver stew cooked with tomato sauce, diced potatoes and carrots) Everything was "masarap(yummy)" and "malinamnam(flavorful)". Surely will return and I had already send link to co-workers who are looking for a Filipino Cuisine.

    Chicken inasal
    Lenny L.

    Came here on a Sunday not busy in fact were the only customers when we got there since there are 4 of us I did ask the lady in the counter I believe one of the owners what's good can she recommend she mentioned it's better to order the family meal where you can order 3 kinds of meat a pound each comes with rice. But the problem is she said no rice and said won't be available for 35 minutes at least. Oh well can't believe it being in a Filipino restaurant and no available rice. What we did we ask for noodles instead of rice we also ordered crispy pata. Saw the guy in the kitchen preparing everything which is good knowing it's done fresh but he did something he should not have done in front of customers I know he thought I did not see him he was grabbing meat to grill and he dropped it on the floor he picked it up and placed it in the grill was really sad to see that . When they served it did not eat the barbecue the crispy pata was good until we got the meat part it was cold was crispy on the outside though. The place was clean though but the restroom is out of order which is not good. I know I should have said something about the meat incident but I'm not sure why I did not . Hope this will help you guys make it better.

    Grilled squid with rice.

    Cook to order! Best grilled squid in Fontana. I ordered grilled jumbo squid meal & Halo halo. Highly recommended. I will be back and try lechon sisig meal next time.

Not super spacious but good enough to eat your lunch and go. They have plenty of parking and also have a catering menu you can ask for if you want to have trays for a party.

It's basically a Southeast Asian crossover episode in grocery form. They've got hot food too, but I showed up already full like a fool, so that'll have to be a future me problem. As for service... let's just say it stays true to the classic no-frills Filipino market vibe, friendliness is very minimal to non-existent.

Finally made the plunge to give them a try and the result wasn't bad, but it wasn't memorable either. We came in on a weekday for dinner with a moderate crowd at the Haven City Market. There was virtually no interaction with staff at Belly & Snout despite there being two workers in the kitchen. They have a self-service kiosk, which is fine, but it wasn't clear what the next steps were going to be after ordering: Should I wait there? Will I get a text to return? Is there an estimated wait time? Who knows? The two guys were consumed in a conversation and were completely disengaged with the handful of us waiting, unsure of our next steps. When an order was ready, they were quick to just leave the order for someone to pick up instead of handing it to them. Again, they weren't even that busy! I ended up ordering the Chicken Adobo Grilled Cheese because I LOVE chicken adobo and I LOVE grilled cheese. The sandwich was a good size and had a good amount of chicken, however, the flavor was lacking. There was barely a hint of any adobo taste and the garlic crema listed on the description of the menu seemed to be nonexistent. The sandwich just tasted like a plain grilled cheese with chicken in it. Perhaps I came on an off day for them or I just ordered an off item from the menu. They are unique in the market for serving Filipino food, so I would consider returning the next time I'm at Haven City and wanting this type of fare.
