Currently the best place for Filipino food in the area, and may be the only one I'd recommend! Not much to note on service & ambiance since it's a to-go for pick up only spot. But the food.. Excellent. So far in the past year, I've tried their silogs, Bistek, Filipino spaghetti, tocino burrito, and a couple of ube desserts and calamansi drink. Every dish I've had so far has been perfectly seasoned. You can taste the care put into the flavors of the dish. Their hours are odd but when the timing is right, this is the spot. read more

When I tell you they have the best Thai tea trust me. I live in Manteca and I am happy to grab some every time I can when I'm out there. My boyfriend Jose grabs some every time he came to me. They are very nice people. My boyfriend goes for me a lot he is now a regular. This is my new Starbucks I kid you not i stopped going Starbucks once I got a taste of the Thai tea and it's 2x cheaper. read more

I don't know if I have the words to say how good Alda's is! Speechless. We were going specifically for the sisig, 500/10 by the way... & upon arrival we noticed they have a ton of ube baked goods. We LOVE ube lol. Everything was 10/10. My favorite so far is the ube cassava cake. Order online/take out only & everything is made fresh! The staff is extremely nice. All around rating this as my fav Filipino spot in the Pittsburg/Antioch area. Cannot wait to go back & try more! read more

Prolly the best Filipino food out this way. Only gripe is they are never open But when they are !!!!! Can't go wrong with any other food. read more

Unfortunately I was sadden to know this place isn't a restaurant that has any seating available it's an order for pickup only. So be prepared to have a long wait line. I was really looking forward to having the adobo fried rice omelette. At least you know your getting fresh food. We decided to try this place since we were playing at a football tournament but because it was pickup only we ended up only getting dessert here to go. I got the Ube flan and the ube cheesecake price is about $6 each. Ube cheesecake was my favorite too bad I ate it before I had the chance to take a photo. The crispy topping on the Ube flan was great texture. The place looked closed but says open so make sure to ring the doorbell. read more

Solid Filipino spot! My family is usually hella picky when it comes to Filipino food but this place has yet to disappoint! My mom even requests it when she doesn't feel like cooking, specifically for the adobo omelette plate (like Hawaii)! Our go to's also include: the fried chicken skin lechon kawali their spaghetti is also the most similar I've had to my family's recipe where it isn't overly sweet! & I wish I could remember all the ube desserts we've tried but I'll say those didn't disappoint either! I actually found the restaurant because family from Hawaii visited me and didn't want to show up to my house empty handed & found this spot nearby! Only con was there are some limited hours and pick up only. read more

Aldas Kitchen and Bakery - Ube matcha latte - Filipino Near Me - Pittsburg, California

Aldas is a 9/10 all around. Great small business and the owners are awesome. Filipino cuisine, silos and baked goods. Everything I've tried from the silogs, Aldas omelet fried rice, lechon kawali and more always hit the spot. And those Ube bars and Ube latte are fire! Must try if your in the area or not! Go now! Just a note it is a to go or pick up spot no inside seating. read more

we love aldas! there's not a lot of filipino restaurants around the east bay and when we discovered this place we instantly became regulars. they are so nice and always friendly. their food is pretty good, probably our favorite are their silogs. def recommend this place! read more

I was curious about this place since it's near my work and I LOVE ube. However, after trying a handful of the treats here, I thought this place was just O.K with the ube flavored items. I didn't try the savory foods so this review is only for the ube treats I tried. I ordered the Ube Horchata, the ube cheesecake, and ube cookies. The ube horchata was a little strange tasting to me - it didn't taste very sweet and it also didn't really taste like ube? I wasn't sure what I was expecting. I thought the ube cheesecake was also EXTREMELY dense. It was actually a little tough to eat with how dense it was. The ube cookies were probably my favorite treat that I ordered out of the 3 items, but they were just okay! Overall, I thought the ube flavor in these treats wasn't very strong at all. It actually seemed a little bland. I would eventually want to try other treats from this place. Everything is also ordered to-go. You order at a window and wait for your food to be ready. There is no sit down area! I think I would have to try other items here for sure next time, and I would definitely give an updated review when that time comes! read more

It's hard to beat the katsu spam musubi! Wow, that's amazing! I tried the regular spam musubi as well, which was also very good. I loved their added sesame seeds. have an upcoming bridal shower and I found my musubi caterer! read more

I ordered spam musubi and katsu musubi for a reception we had. It was ready for pickup when I was told it would be. Each piece was individually wrapped and placed in an aluminum serving tray. Everyone loved it, including our guests from Hawaii. A few people saved some to take home with them too. read more

Had the worst food ever. We order Adobo Omelette Fried Rice W/ Lechon Kawali. The pork belly was ALL fat and the rice was so hard even putting it in the microwave with a damp towel couldn't save it. Each time we go it just gets worse. So sad... it use to be the best. read more

It only took 34 years of my life for there to be a Filipino spot that could rightfully deliver the culture to the P. With a huge group of Filipinos in the area and a market for it with the black and brown folks alike, it's about damn time! The spot takes orders online or through a window out front and food is prepared in about 25 minutes. Fresh, sizzling, and delicious. Plus pinays always have great customer service. Chicken bites with furikake is , 'ono grinds! Get it spicy. It has the right balance of savory and spice. Lechon Kawali is flavorful and juicy but not overly oily; exactly how it is meant to be. The sisig (spicy) was delicious. The calamansi juice stands out with the peppers adding a good punch. The meat chunks are well prepared grilled, less crispy than other meat choices but still well done! Ube sweet crème cold brew has me wired. It was better than your average sweet crème from Starbucks because of ube's mellow and nutty flavor. Overall everything was delicious and I'm excited to have a Filipino cuisine option available to spread the culture! Ang Sarap! read more

Uh oh! Drove all the way here for them to be CLOSED. Website said they're open. The OPEN sign was on at their door. But the door was locked. Like the other person said- waste of time driving here. Not ok. Anyways...wasn't a total bust. There's a really nice Sanrio store a few doors down called POPshop25. Really nice guy and really cool Sanrio stuff. Made the trip seem worthwhile at least...if you're into Sanrio & Funko Pops. read more

We drove from Woodland to Pittsburg to try this place today and it was everything I thought it would be! I pre ordered random items online so that we could try a fair amount of goodies. Ube all day, let me tell you! Everything was absolutely delicious and the ube cheesecake, knock your socks off. The service was awesome, she was very kind and helpful. We also tried two of their coffee drinks, brown sugar banana cold brew and the mocha banana cloud!! To die for! Great job ladies! We will definitely come back! read more

Needed some coffee and wanted something other than Starbucks. So I got the Ube Sweet Creme Cold Brew again. This is probably my favorite cold brew in the area. Also decided to try their Halo Halo Cheesecake. It was good! read more

Such a great find on our way back from a wedding in Brentwood! To-go/pick up kind of restaurant. Order ahead though, because they only had online order pick up available when we went, so we had to wait a while for our order. But there's an anime store a couple doors down to browse and check out while you wait for your order. We enjoyed all the food we ordered. It is filipino food, so the tocilog and binagoongan were fairly oily. We loved the eggs on the silog, it's been a while we had perfectly cooked sunny side up eggs when eating out. The rice on the silog was also seasoned well that it compliments both the egg and corned beef nicely. Our favorite out of all the things we ordered was the katsu spam masubi! That breaded spam elevates it and makes it that much more remarkable than a regular spam masubi. Ube bars were great! Ube cookies were pretty salty, but still finished the box! Ube horchata tasted more cinnamon like and ube flavor is lost. Overall, definitely try their dishes! Worth the wait! The masubis were great snacks for the road. read more

Never judge a book by its cover. I pass by this hole in a wall a few time but never gave it a second glance. This morning, my blanket robber showed me this place on her phone. The photos of food in boxes didn't do this place justice. I ordered a bunch of food, brought it to my place, took it out of their sad little brown boxes and placed it properly on plates. Fuck me, this ended up being one of the best meals I've had this year. The Adobe Omelet Fried Rice with a side of Lechon fucks with me in a good way. I am totally and undivided in love with Aldas Kitchen n Bakery. We all have our favorite places that we go to, damn it, this place is now in my top five read more

So a co-worker gave me an Ube Flan from Alda's a few weeks ago and was just super impressed that wife and I decided to check them out. This is a to-go only place, menu is limited and they seem to focus more on their 'Ube Area' treats, which are creative ways of re-doing traditional filipino ube sweets/snacks! We just had lunch so we really only wanted some Halo-Halos for dessert. Noticed that they have adobo fried rice wrapped in egg ala Elena's, one of our favorite spots in Oahu. So yeah I had to order that one. So first the Halo-Halo, it's great. All the essentials are there - ube, bananas, pinipig etc. As for the adobo omelet, I ordered the one that came with lechon pork belly. Also I had to ask them whether they heard about Elena's and they confirmed that they took inspiration from there, that they love visiting the island as well! Well I gotta say, I like their adobo fried rice better than Elena's. Delicious! Theirs is not really wrapped in egg omelet-style, its more of an egg topping. But who cares, the taste is on point! The pork belly is also delicious, freshly prepared and skin is crispy. A little on the tough side but thats par for the course. I just wish they have dine-options. Also their hours can be a little funky, best to call first. Otherwise glad to have another local Filipino joint out this way. read more

This review is for their ube crinkle cookies. They were so soft and dense, like a mini ube cake in cookie form. It was our first time there and wasn't sure how ordering worked. But you check their daily menu online then go up to the window to order. The staff was super friendly and patient with us when we were trying to figure out how to order and what we wanted. Will definitely go back to try more of their food! read more

I got a little depressed when u couldn't order online. I emailed them they answered about my inquiry but when I replied, I didn't get an answer back. No one answers the phone too :( I waited for a week to place an order because they were not accepting any orders during that time. When I checked the website after a week, I was able to place one and was very happy. I regret to not place an order a month before. (This is ideal!!) for a party!They text you that they got ur order - U can even text them if you have any questions about your order. Pick up was easy. we love the ube flan cake and ube cheesecake! Can't wait to try other products! The ube flan cake was the best read more

Y'ALL NEED TO TRY THIS PLACE OUT THIS IS SO FRICKIN GOOD!! There are many delectable and rich ube desserts baked in a variety of ways. I've lived in the East Bay for years and we've never had a go to place for fresh filipino food and desserts. After trying to find a place, I found Alda's bakery on Yelp! There were so many positive reviews, I just had to try it. They mean serious business. There is a whole menu in front of their store dedicated to only ube desserts - from ube bibingka to ube brownie bars (you also have the choice of ordering the corners!) I must mention you have to hurry when you order this because they sell out of some items by afternoon. They also have a menu with traditional filipino food items with a modernized twist. This is a family-owned business and Irene and her family are so chill and sweet and you always feel welcomed there! They are such a passionate family and they loves what they does - and quite good at it too! Anything you get here will never disappoint your tastebuds - I guarantee it! I've ordered the sisig plate, lechon omelette, ube brownie bars, and ube leche flan, the matcha ube cheesecake. There were so many delicious flavors coming from the dish, it is so authentic! They were all so mouthwatering. The desserts aren't too sweet and the food is absolutely delicious. My favorite is their ube brownies since it had delicious caramel notes to it which made it even more delicious! The flan was so silky and smooth and the ube under it was divine. Such a passionate woman and she loved what she does - and quite good at it too! Can't wait to come back to try more stuff! read more

I will always, ALWAYS recommend Aldas/Ube Area to every single person I know who wants unique and authentic Filipino foods and desserts. My first encounter with Ube Area products were through Chill Tea in Brentwood. Their Ube bars are TO DIE FOR. During the pandemic when all small businesses were struggling to stay afloat Ube Area offered delivery! I haven't had a single dessert from them that I did not like. Introduced my family and friends to them too and they are all loyal customers now. So when they decided to open a store front and restaurant you know I had to show my support. If you're looking for Filipino comfort food Alda's is the place to go. All of their dishes are made to order which makes it even better knowing you get fresh food every single time. They also do catering for anyone looking to add Filipino dishes to their next family party! Their sisig is my family's favorite! For my daughters 7th birthday we had their sisig and Tocino fried rice and it was GONE before the party was over. Look no further for the best Filipino food in East County! The Navarro's love you guys so much!!! read more

I can't speak enough good things about this place! Tried them for the first time last week, and I'm pretty much always looking for an excuse to go now on the weekends (open Thurs-Sun only). Musubis: 5 stars for the slightly spicy corned beef one. So so good. Adobo omurice: PERFECT. The egg isn't outstanding in any way, but the adobo rice yeeeessss. Not too dry, just the right amount of vinegar. Ubemisu: Outstanding. I don't love super sweet things, but I make an exception for this, and also the texture is fantastic. read more

Yall. I am speechless. Listen, I've been here a few times before to purchase Ube Area baked goods, and they are REALLY good, but I finally went for the food... and I've been missing out!!! Order ahead online, pick up at the window. We ordered the sisig, longanisa fried rice, and the scallion pancake breakfast wrap. All three were 10/10!! So flavorful and filling and DELICIOUS!!! Seriously some of the best Filipino food I've had in a while - and I'm part Filipino LOL We also got the coconut refresher and the thai tea cold brew (and I had the Ube Horchata on an earlier date) and both drink are seriously GREAT! 10/10 as well!! The coconut refresher was literally refreshing and had great texture and just made me feel good. The thai tea cold brew is a game changer. Seriously the best cold brew I've ever had! I'm obsessed and will be back. SOON read more

To-go orders only! Can order at the shop window, but I suggest ordering ahead of time online through their website and wait for the confirmation text that your food is ready before heading over! I was around the area and ordered right before going to the shop, so I had to wait a bit. Took about 30 minutes total for my order to be ready. Once there, you'll know they're open if their "open" sign is on, and you ring the doorbell to get someone to help you at the window. They sometimes close before their posted hours for catering events - they post a notice on their shop window and website on the day of (looks like they are currently working on an online calendar so customers can check on their website ahead of time). FOOD: * Ube Sweet Cream Cold Brew (3/5): I was craving this, and it was the reason I stumbled across this restaurant on Yelp. Was a bit disappointed in the ube flavor, couldn't really taste it. However, the coffee was decent. * Lumpias (3.5/5): I love lumpias, and these were huge! Crispy on the outside and good filling, although I think it could use a bit more flavor. * Adobo Omelet Fried Rice (3.5/5): I've had adobo fried rice several times before, and it's usually too oily, but that's not the case at Aldas! Taste was pretty good, but like the lumpias, I think it could use a bit more flavor. SERVICE: Only saw one person working, and she was nice. AMBIANCE: To-go only. No dine-in service. PARKING: Small plaza parking lot right outside storefront OVERALL: When I think of of Filipino food, I am looking for more savory/salty flavors, but I found that lacking a bit at Aldas. read more

I gave this new cute place a try and I'm a huge fan! Everything I tried was super tasty. I had the Ube Horchata, the Ube Cheesecake, Lechon Kawali, and the Omelet Adobo Rice. -- I drank the horchata in 30 seconds and wanted a second one. The cinnamon and Ube paired really well together. -- The Lechon was very moist and flavorful and came with some tasty dipping sauces. And the pork skin had a perfect crunch to it. -- The omelet rice was highly addictive. I couldn't stop eating it! And it was a large portion, so good value for the money. -- The cheesecake was one of the best desserts I've had in a while. Rich and flavorful, but not overly sweet. I want to head back to try their other flavors. They have several! read more

Aldas Kitchen and Bakery - Ube Horchata. So good! - Filipino Near Me - Pittsburg, California

Filipino food craving satisfied! Check out this new spot and it'll hit the spot! Drinks 5/5 My girlfriend and I had the Ube Cold Brew shake and the coconut refresher. We both absolutely loved our drinks. The Coconut refresher was...very refreshing lol just the right amount of sweetness and balance to leave you fully satisfied. The ube cold brew might be my new choice of drink. The taste of cold brew stood well against the taste of flan and ube, coming together in perfect harmony! Food 5/5 We ordered the sisig with white rice, spam musubi, and adobo fried rice with lechon kawali. The sisig might the best sisig I've had on this side of the bay. I'm actually really picky when it comes to sisig and I loved it here! The spam musubi had the perfect *crunch* to each bite without feeling too heavy. Each order comes with two pieces btw and we managed to finish them all! My favorite of the bunch was the adobo fried rice with lechon kawali. That adobo fried rice was spot on. Every bite incredibly satisfying! My only critique is that I wish the spam musubi came with a little less rice. I love the portion size and taste, but the rice was just a little tooo much for me. I ended up piecing some off to get my perfect bite. Overall I would highly recommend this place to all my friends. Don't hesitate! read more

Found Alda's via Yelp, looking for a Filipino bakery in the area for a special occasion. Ordered several ube desserts to try. My family loved the ube mochi donut, which tasted more like ube mochi butter cake. It was so good, the ube flavor was front and center! Many other bakeries just slap "ube" on purple colored desserts thinking most can't tell the difference. We also tried the Ube cannoli and cheesecake. Both were also outstanding, but we prefer the mochi texture more. Definitely we will be back! read more
