Food was great. Really enjoyed the sweet and sour pampano -- and I am not a fish person! Had to take the sauce home so I can still savor it with rice when I got home. Amazingly delicious! Their Kare-kare is always good. I've tasted it before when they were located in a much smaller spot in West Covina. It's one of my favorite dishes there. It's topped with lechon kawali and that made it even better tasting We also ordered Pancit Bihon and Crispy Pata , which were absolutely enjoyable. Service was also great. Our server was very polite and attentive. Even the owners (or maybe their partners) were very accommodating and were very helpful when we asked about their party accommodation. I am looking forward to trying their breakfast buffet. I believe it's cheaper on weekdays. I would definitely come back here as I feel like this is the only good Filipino dine in spot in this Manila Way plaza. They also have one in San Gabriel but not like this one in West Covina. That one is located in a food hall. Give it a try if you're craving for some Filipino food! read more

I've been to their other location and that one is hit or miss. It's so popular that your order can take almost an hour long. I didn't have that issue at this location, but I was also there first thing in the morning. I was there for Filipino breakfast. This is something I grew up with. Beef tapa (almost a drier jerky but nice chewy feel), fried garlic rice, and topped with two deep fried eggs. It's salty, savory, and delicious. They garnish it off with a slice of raw cucumber and tomato which cuts the fatty salty flavor profile of the dish bring it balance. For the truly traditional they give you Filipino vinegar which I douse the eggs and tapa with. This plaza is a Filipino plaza stock full of Filipino restaurants and a seafood city. Parking is plentiful, but the driving not so great (I say that as a Filipino) and even in the morning people were parking over designated lines. The interior of this location is spacious. It looks like they offer some sort of buffet as I saw a section for trays. Looks like they might also have live entertainment? All in all fantastic breakfast option! Haven't been for lunch, but if it's like breakfast it should be worth it! read more

Almuchow Atbp. - Tapsilog - Filipino Near Me - West Covina, California

Breakfast buffet....but doesn't have much choices! All food except steam rice were greasy....pancit (too oily), sliced longganisa reheated many times (old, hard & chewy), fried bangus, eggs, dried fish, fried eggplants were all soaked with oil, they didn't use paper towel after they cooked...so food wouldn't soaked of oil.... VERY UNHEALTHY!!!!! Service was too slow...with only like 5 customers! When we asked for coffee 'cuz coffee dispenser was already empty.... You need to bugged them before they'll refill it! Not friendly & helpful server!!! read more

Whenever we're in West Covina and near the Seafood City in that area, my wife and I will always try to drop by Almuchow for our Filipino brunch fix. I'll usually get the Longsilog breakfast plate while my wife gets the Tapsilog breakfast plate. To finish things off we usually get two cold glasses of Sago Gulaman. The customer service is great and servers are always friendly and attentive to our needs. They sometimes have live bands performing. They always have great music and the decor makes you feel like you're having your meal at an eatery in the Philippines. read more

Almuchow Atbp. - Longsilog and Tapsilog breakfast plates w/Sago Gulaman. - Filipino Near Me - West Covina, California

I had a good experience at Almuchow (West Covina). I ordered the Longsilog ($15) and Pansit Mix ($16) for To-Go. The food arrived picturesque! However, the flavors felt fairly muted. It tasted like a "healthy" version of Filipino food. Still, my 83 year old Filipino Grandmother (who's now averse to too much seasoning) genuinely enjoyed this modern interpretation of pansit. I arrived at Almuchow (West Covina) on Sunday (around 3:16PM). Parking is easy. The lot is big. Surprisingly, Almuchow (West Covina) had taken over the old location of Bistro Filipino. Almuchow (West Covina) had relocated to this new spot in late December. Staff is very professional, welcoming and friendly. Staff works hard. I observed how Staff worked nonstop throughout my visit. My food took 14 minutes and five seconds. Good time! As mentioned, the Longsilog ($15) and Pansit Mix ($16) appears beautiful. Although it lacks the usual saltiness & oiliness of traditional Filipino food, it felt health conscious with comforting textures. The ingredients tasted clean. The Longsilog's sausage had the familiar sweetness of the Longanisa, but it felt more comparable to a meatball/meatloaf version. The Pansit also had the wetness and length of the usual dish, but it tasted muted. Still, the food felt well-intentioned and filling. Regarding ambiance, Almuchow (West Covina) is spacious, clean, and welcoming. I appreciated how Filipino music played on its speakers. The flat screen TVs even showed filipino musicians. There's also plenty of tables and a gender neutral restroom. Overall, I had a good experience at Almuchow (West Covina). The food is a good option for customers looking for a modern twist on filipino classics. If curious and nearby, it's a decent option. 4.5 out of 5 read more

I had place a takeout order at Almuchow since I was craving Filipino food. I put in an order on a mobile app and head over ~15 minutes later. The store is located in a large plaza with plenty of parking. When I got there, the order wasn't ready yet, so I needed to wait another 5 minutes or so. I ordered the Longsilog and took a bit of time to eat it. The sausage was a bit tough but tasted good. The garlic rice was not anything special. This dish by itself was a bit expensive and the portion feels a bit light. read more

I went to a friend's party one time and liked their food. She had mentioned she ordered from them, so I got food from them on my daughters bday back in April. I ordered their 5 medium party trays: pancit, pork sisig, tofu and green beans, kaldereta, and chicken adobo. The servings were pretty generous and very good, so even my Latino guests were raving and asking for the recipes, thinking I made them. Lol, nope, told them Almuchow has the recipe. Will reorder again at my next party for sure. read more

This is always my go to spot for office potlucks, but I also come here just for myself. The beef caldereta is my favorite, but honestly everything on the menu is good. The sinigang has a great sourness, and the breakfast items are really solid too. I feel like I've tried most of the menu at this point, and it has all been consistently good. For catering trays, they do require pre payment, but it is definitely worth it. Even during holidays, the pickup experience for catering orders has been easy and smooth. read more

New location! Different location, same delicious food! The menu is largely unchanged, apparently they added a few new things. My go to is definitely any of the silogs. But I see they have chicken adobo now and I HAVE to come back and try that. The space is HUGE now. So much more room for sit in dining. read more

We came around 2 on a Saturday and there were a few tables with guests. Staff are nice, minor language barrier (as we don't speak Tagalog and it was our first time here) Portions are generous. We ordered the mango, calamansi juice and gulaman (black grass jelly) crispy pata (fried pork), pork kare kare (pork curry), and rice meal with chicken BBQ. We had a lot of leftovers. Everything tasted good. We were not expecting the crispy pata to be a huge foot/leg. Neither the pata or the calderata came with rice so it was a lot of meat. The calderata was subtle in flavor and they offered this salty dark condiment to season it, and it helped. Our favorite dish was the rice meal, the garlic rice was so flavorful and the chicken skewers were cooked perfectly, nice and tender. We didn't see our waiter when we were done so we helped ourselves to the take out containers. read more

Love the new location. I definitely think the food deserves a wider audience. The interior is nice and simple, chill vibes. The service was also great. The wait staff checked on us while we ate our food but they did not hover. The food had the same great flavors as when they were at their original location. The one thing I would say is that I wish there were more bagnet pieces especially with the price going up. But it was still cooked really well. They also served a good amount of tapa in the tapsilog. All in all I would definitely go back and try their other offerings. read more

We ordered the longsilog and tapsilog and both were delicious. Longsilog came with garlic rice, skinless longanisa and eggs. The tapsilog was yummy it was kinda like beef steak as the tapa is on the wetter side instead of dry tapa. It is small inside with about 4 tables. Friendly staff. We'll come back again. read more

I give them 1 STAR now i used to be a regular cust of the almuchow. They moved to Amar location. I picked up an order of stapsilog. To My surprise. it was in a small box and the serving was 1/3 of the original serving b4 they moved. The quality and amt of food became small and so BAD! what happened? they moved to the new place and the food was not worth ordering. Don't go here. their quality has gone DOWN. Waste of money. they didnt maintain their quality when they're in Valinda. Typical Pnoy style in food service. Sad. Typical pinoy food business-- only good at the beginning. read more

We were too hungry we forgot to take pictures! I got the combo item with bagnetsilog and the pork was super crunchy and delicious (especially with the spicy vinegar) and their delicious garlic fried rice. I also had a craving for lumpia and got an order too. On the way out I grabbed one of their ginataang mais (coconut milk + corn) desserts and enjoyed the cold refreshing treat on the drive home (not too sweet!). Will definitely be back when I am craving some filipino breakfast. read more

Amazing Filipino Food! Tried the Silog mainly and the garlic rice is amazing! Tried the tocino, tapa, and the lumpia, all were amazing, though I have to say the Tapa is the stand out. Soft, delicious and not too salty. The area is big, in a good location. The ambience is on point, they play some good music. 10/10 would come again. read more

This is a gem of a find if you like Filipino food. First time being here. Ordered the longsilog, tocilog and kare kare. The si logs were good...I especially like the flavors of both the longganisa and tocino. Tocino was slightly tougher but still good. The kare kare with the crispy beignet did not disappoint. Ample parking space at the plaza, price is a bit more than anticipated although they have decent portions. Place is small - enough for 12 diners only so big groups would not be recommended. Although good service, kitchen is a bit slow with the orders. Overall, still a great find, off the beaten path of Amar/seafood city. read more

Decent food. Got some lumpia on the side, but it was too salty. We got the tapsilog, which was pretty good (7.5/10). Loved the eggs and garlic rice. We also got the tocilog (pork) and the meat was too tough, jaw was hurting chewing it (6/10). Don't know if I would come again. Service was alright, no long waits or anything. read more

My husband and I ordered takeout from this restaurant. I'm always on the hunt for a go-to Filipino spot since I'm further away from family. I found this place after a quick google and yelp search. It's a smaller place but there are some tables for a few people to eat their food at the restaurant. Our pickup was super easy and the people there were very friendly and quick for our transaction. The food itself was delicious. I ordered pancit bihon, bagnet (ala carte), side of rice, lumpiang shanghai and spamsilog. The pancit was cooked perfectly and once the lemon was added, it was a perfect balance of acidity and savory. I liked how crunchy and salty the bagnet was; it paired perfectly with the rice and "mang tomas" sauce. My husband liked the spamsilog, but wished there were more spam slices. The lumpia was crunchy and delicious. The only complaint I have is that the food is on the pricier end. We paid about $70 for everything which is a lot for Filipino food. The portions were at least larger so it made up for some of the price. read more

service was welcoming as a first time customer it was satisfactory however food wasn't what I expected for me it didn't match up with the high reviews of the restaurant i ordered pancit canton and it was salty the pancit bihon didn't taste good it had more pepper taste than anything the shanghai was crispy better than chow king's but still not the best i won't be coming back and I don't recommend the restaurant for the choices that I ordered overall 2 stars read more

I don't have Filipino food often but decided to give this place a try. It was smaller than I thought so seating is limited with only four tables. Most people come in for takeout but we dined in. Their menu had a good amount of options to choose from especially from their rice dishes and I chose the Bagnetsilog. Their Bagnetsilog has fried lechon, garlic fried rice, and sunny side up eggs and some sauce. The portion size was good and there were giant pieces of the fried lechon. The dish had so much flavor that I could not stop myself from devouring it. It's a heavier meal for sure so you need to come hungry. It's also more affordable than most places so I would definitely come again and try their other dishes as well. read more

Saw all the great reviews decided to give it a try. It was alright. Place is small so it's best to takeout, parking is decent. I got the lechon and tapas combo. The lechon was thick and big but also very fatty. Taking a big bite of it all I got was fat and it was semi dry. The rice was cooked perfectly along with the eggs. The tapa was decent, but nothing to rave about. Service was alright. What got me was that it seemed that They have a reward system with your number. When I went to enter it, they put their own personal number in for the rewards. Not sure what that was about. read more

My husband was hinting that I should whip up some Filipino breakfast again. As the ever-funny Jo Koy once said, Filipino breakfast is basically leftovers... but with eggs. Usually, I cook up some tocino or longanisa, throw in a side of sinigang na hipon, and of course, sunny side up eggs. He's one spoiled guy, that's for sure. But today, I decided to venture out of my kitchen and into someone else's. We checked out this small Filipino spot--tiny, maybe 10 to 12 chairs total--but packed with flavor. The menu is straightforward: your classic Filipino breakfast staples and some all-time favorites like Kare Kare and Pancit. We ordered the mix pancit, tocilog (tocino, garlic rice, egg), bagnetsilog (crispy pork belly, garlic rice, egg), pork sinigang, and pork isaw. Every single dish hit the spot. The tocino was tender and flavorful, the bagnet was perfectly crispy, and the sinigang came out piping hot with just the right amount of sourness and heat. And that pork isaw? Mouthwatering. Now let me say this: if you're not a fan of fatty pork goodness, this is not your spot. From the tocino to the sinigang, this place is all about rich, savory flavors. No valet, no fancy plating, no health-conscious options here. This isn't for vegans, dieters, or anyone expecting a wellness café vibe. But if you're craving comfort food, Filipino-style, this little hole-in-the-wall delivers. Support your fellow kababayan! We'll definitely be back. read more

Almuchow atbp is a tiny restaurant that serve traditional Filipino comfort food in West Covina. They serve breakfast (all day) and lunch. Indoor seats and space are very limited; no restroom available. Atmosphere was okay. I had one of their breakfast items called Tocilog x lumpia. I liked it as well as their Calamansi juice (citrus lime kind). Prices were fair. Service was good. Food portion was modest. Collectively, I enjoyed my dine-in experience as first time customer at Almuchow. It's a good spot to have Philippine food. read more

Decided to come here since it opens at 8AM and I was also craving some lumpia. I tried ordering my dish in hopes of picking up and paying for my order once I arrive, unfortunately, no one picked up. A part of me was also willing to risk coming here regardless of driving the opposite direction from my workplace and being late. Well, let's just say, I'm glad I did. It took them approximately 15-20 minutes to have the lumpia made, and oh my goodness, it was so good and it sure smells good as well. The lumpia itself was so crispy and authentic to the point where I didn't even need the sauce. After driving for 30-40 minutes to my workplace, it was still crispy! I have no idea what they put in it but it sure got me addicted as I kept munching on it. The price was also affordable, I just hope they don't increase it. Other than that, I would love to be back and try their other menus. read more

Such a cute little spot located in a little plaza so there is plenty of parking. We stopped in after discovering them at a Yelp event and loved it! We visited on a Sunday afternoon and staff was very friendly. There are a couple tables inside to eat, otherwise this is a very easy to-go establishment too. Everything is reasonable priced as well. One thing I love about Filipino food is the pack of flavor the food brings, especially addition of vinegar-based sauces and Almuchow was no different! We ordered: + Tapsilog - the eggs had a slightly runny yolk, nice flavor in the garlic rice, and the meat was tender. I love the bit of friend garlic on top. + Pinakbet with Bagnet - generous portion of pork belly that was cut into the right bite size pieces. Also came with squad, green beans and bitter melon. Sauce consistency was a little thinner but the flavor was there. + Pork Isaw - comes with about 5 skewers of grilled large intestine pieces. The glaze was sweet to cut the fattiness and was delicious to us! + Calamansi Juice - very refreshing! Perfect for a hot day. Their sign inside "Good Food is Good Mood" definitely rings true here! read more

Got a tiny piece of bangus plus it was the head part. Too much rice for the amount of protein. But the worst part is that it is hard like old leftover from day before. Very disappointed. I will not be returning. read more

I probably eat here literally 2-3x a month and the food has always been consistent. The portions are large and I always have leftovers for another meal. My favorite is the pork and it is what you expect from a traditional Filipino breakfast: egg, rice, and different protein options alongside some vinegar dipping sauce. read more

Came in as a walk in on the Sunday before Christmas and they were open, and we were ordering catering to go for their 50 of their lumpia for about $35. Not many chairs and tables to sit at so don't plan on dining in. It came out hot and crispy, and there was plenty of hot and sweet sauce to dip with. They were a hit at the party! read more

I think this is the place to go if you're looking to pick up some really good Filipino comfort breakfast. It is a very small place with only 3 tables, so I recommend taking it to go. PRICE - a little steep, but I think it's justified considering the quality, service, quantity, and economy. SERVICE - friendly gentleman taking the order and looked like he was willing to help answer any questions (although I did my research and came in with my game plan). It seems like they cook to order, so I did have to wait about 5 min for my single plate, but I am not complaining! PARKING - fairly easy. In a shared parking lot with the rest of the small strip mall side FOOD - Got the Tocilog (tocino = sweet pork, egg, garlic fried rice). YUM! I Their tocino was very well marinated and the meat had the right amount of crisp to it! Would definitely recommend to others! read more

Filipino food just like your Lola used to make it. Had a random craving for some tocino and garlic rice for breakfast and this was exactly what I had in mind! The menu covers all your classic Filipino dishes. The customer service was friendly and food came out hot and within a reasonable time frame. Only downside was that I didn't realize how quaint the place was - so not the best choice for parties larger than 2-3 people if you are looking for a guaranteed place to sit down and eat. I would recommend going early in the morning around the time they open so you know you'll get a seat. They also do catering, so that's a big bonus! read more

This is a good quick stop for Filipino food! When I'm craving tocino or longsilog, but don't have the ingredients at home, I make a trip here! Imo, their sinigang is pretty pricey in the sense that it comes in a small to-go bowl, so I usually opt for just the combo plate. Their store itself is small and is located in the same plaza as Stater Bros! Food: I got their Longsilog plate with a side of tocino! It's my go-to order here and it never disappoints. The plate itself comes with two over-easy eggs along with garlic fried rice (a must when eating Filipino food). On some days, if you're lucky, they have carioca for sale! Their sugar is a little on the burnt side in my opinion, but still delicious! Service: Their service is decent (50/50). One day you will be met with welcoming staff and the next, you'll feel like a nuisance to them for stepping foot into the store. read more
