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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

They have a new, bigger location. We came for breakfast and it was delicious! The coffee was strong and so good.

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

New location, bigger restaurant space , more staff and they were very pleasant including the owner ! I will start with food , it hasn't changed , they're still delicious ! Ordered tapsilog , it's so yummy and filling , the beef was tender , has a hint of sweetness and sourness , it's perfect with the side of vinegar . Their bangus was so crispy and compliments the garlic fried rice and egg . I also tried their Sunday Buffet that starts 0800-1400 , came in around 10 am and the place was not so busy . We got served coffee and sweet tea and water immediately ( it's a self service but the waiter was so nice ) the food option were not only for breakfast they also have lunch option .

I think I paid 53$ tax included for 2 . Food was delicious , this is the best restaurant that took over this space ! I will come back again . 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

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

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

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

My husband was hangry so decided to give this place a try. Took awhile to get our order in and get our food. Those reviews saying they waited for 45 to almost an hour it's true. With that said, I can't blame the guy since he was the host, server, cleaner and all of the above. There were a total of 9 tables and some people were more needy than others. 35 minutes later not even water. I feel bad since the guy was nice but overwhelmed. This is a mgmt/owner issue. The second guy we saw working was the cook. 40 minutes later noticed 2 more staff. The server was still doing most of the work. BBQ sticks had good flavor, small size but had the right amount of sweetness. Had a good char without the burnt flavor. Lumpia was crunchy. We enjoyed it. Tocino was half tender and half hard. Had the right amount of sweetness. Garlic rice was not overwhelming, just a hint of garlic. If you like it garlicky then you might find it mild and blah. Overall enjoyed the food. Maybe just an off day. 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

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

The food sold are delicious & freshly made. The lady behind the counter is very friendly & accommodating.

Not my style. Was greeted by an empty kitchen in front of me and two full tables to my right. Once one of the cooks emerged she advised that her coworker would be out shortly to take our order. We sat ourselves, grabbing menus stacked by a nearby table. The waitress was very friendly offering a nice smile while taking our drink orders. I was not sure of the bagnetsilog breakfast which she advised was pork and that the daingailog was the bangus. Having had Bangui for the past 2 days, I opted to try the tapsilog which in all honesty, I've never ordered from a restaurant. Only enjoyed that my mamang made growing up. But what I got was far from what I remembered. And a since being Filipino-Americans, instead of coming home to milk and cookies like my American counterparts, I came home to tapa, rice and tomatoes. But that tapa, mmmm, was a nice golden and dark brown (golden for the fatty parts) and the salted dice tomatoes was the perfect compliment to cut through the grease in which it was fried in. And of course the starchy staple of rice balanced it out completely. Unfortunately, what I got here was not steak like cuts of meat (similar to that of a carne asada plate) but blackened shreds of meet with a huge chunk or cubed beef. There was a smaller, thinner piece was it was so tough. I am sure it was bistek refried. And as far as the tomato, all I got was half a slice and one slice of cucumber cut in half. My dad ordered the tortang talong which was tasty but quite salty. And it was recommended along with this place by a friend of his. My mom's order: the bagnetsilog came in looking like lechon. Sadly, it was not crispy at all. But maybe this is how tapsilog is in the restaurants now? I'm not sure. But I'll be eating that at home and most likely will not be back. And if this is no longer a buffet, why keep that existing set up? Why the open kitchen where the guests arriving don't see anyone. Usually open kitchens like that are open where the guests dining can see where all The drama and excitement happens. read more
