Even my husband whom I normally share, "I eat while he drives" a spoonful or two we're very impressed! He actually love it ! The service were fast! I appreciate that she asked if we want sugar in it,which we opt to. It's just right without it. I like the cleanliness of the store and both of the ladies we talked to were very kind!

Stopped here at Fil Am Oriental Market based on the 4 star ratings on Yelp, but when we walked in…read morethe store, we didn't get that friendly vibes. I can see/sense the look on the owner ( lady) like what are these locals from Hawaii doing here, visiting and checking the store, of course. The reason for visiting was to support local and grab Filipino foods for our late lunch. I can say that the shop is very nice and organized, no plans for grabbing grocery items, noticed the prices are on the higher side, price you pay for Palm Springs. One thing that looked very interesting to me and am afraid to try is the packaged Balut. Nice to see they have Kent Mangoes on the counter for $2.99. We stopped in about 3 pm and the hot food choices didn't look good as the Yelp photos, I was thinking to get a plate to give it a try but the staff said that they sell everything ala carte, hmmm.... I am use to getting plates by 1-2 or 3 items. If we were to go with the food selection at Fil Am, I wouldn't know how many orders to get and how much our total would come out to, see that it can get pricey! I think we all passed and left to go to another biz for our Filipino foods. I would get the Filipino desserts but we all wanted to get out of the store quick since it felt like we weren't welcome in there.

The food is incredibly authentic--every dish brought back that comforting, home-cooked Filipino flavor that's hard to find abroad. Their lechon kawali was perfectly crispy and flavorful, the kaldereta was rich and hearty, and the monggo was just like how it's made back home--simple, comforting, and delicious. You can really tell everything is prepared with care and authenticity. What made the experience even better was how it gave us that genuine "back home" feeling. From the flavors to the overall vibe, it really felt like dining in the Philippines. For a first visit, it exceeded expectations, and we'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended for anyone craving real Filipino food!

When on our trips, I need to have our Filipino comfort foods in!…read moreI wanted to support local, mom & pop business, while visiting Palm Springs so did a Yelp & Instagram search which lead me here. Small shop with hot food and made to order options, with a few table for enjoying your foods. The menu has all the different Silog plates, specials and loved that they have photos of the plates. There was a miscommunication with the staff on one of my orders but they apologized and was very caring about it after. The one thing that I wish they had are prices on the hot food selections, I wanted to get the sinigang soup and staff mentioned it was 2 item for $18.95 which I found out after our food came out that it the sinigang is not part of the 2 item special. Pinapaitan came out which she mistaken me for sinigang. The Sinigang soup is $18.95 per order. Our orders: Silog plate, pancit and lumpia plate, lechon kawali, and sinigang soup, the lechon and sinigang soup does not come with rice. Which we need lots of, hehe. it is $1.50 per scoop. I LOVED the sinigang soup, loved all the veggies in there, eating this sure brought back memories of my momma's soup. My son and hubby agreed. The pancit bihon was super tasy! The lechon kawali wasn't the greatest, didn't come with the tomatoes and onions. I did order way too much, packed the leftovers for our hotel but ended up not eating it. I wanted to finish up the pancit and soup we had dinner plans, ended up dumping the food. so sad! Next time I visit Palm Springs, I will be back for more Sinigang soup and pancit! Check out Meng's, ( -sounds Chinese) they have been in business for over 10+ years, great spot and cuisine! Oh & way better than that viral hyped place at Seattle's Pike Place.

Patis, Datu Puti Soy Sauce and Vinegar, Alamang, Bagoong, Sinigang and Kare Kare powders, jufran banana ketchup, and Ox and Palm corned beef. They have all the essentials.

It's honestly a life saver and a gem for the Filipino community of the desert. The store is very small and can feel crammed at times, but I am so happy this place exists. The employees are very helpful and kind. I love this place!

Pun intended but so perfect for her! We were celebrating my 19 3/4 Birthday (x3 LOL). She seated us in a very quaint, part of the dining area, pleasantly seating each guest. Now on to our server, Tony. He was just as professional and polite and welcoming. He ensured our order, drinks and food were all done in perfect timing. Never left a drink empty and constantly ensured we were pleased with our dining experience. Now onto Asia and Tony both, they shocked me with not only an awesomely delicious chocolate cake, but a card signed by the staff.

The restaurant is hard to find in the huge building and we ultimately had to ask directions but that's a minor detail. And if we had come through an entrance closer to the actual restaurant that might have been different. One thing that gave me pause is you can smell cigarette smoke going through the main casino building but thankfully the restaurant air was fresh with no detectable smoke odor. I suspect a positive air-flow system which is good. The restaurant interior is roomy, clean and pleasant with Oriental style decor which is nice. The staff were warm and inviting right from the person that greeted us at the entrance, throughout our meal and just as gracious upon our exit. We were there during the lunch menu which of course is limited but plenty of appealing choices. I ordered Twice cooked pork which though I have made myself I don't recall ever ordering it in a restaurant. My dish was very tasty with plenty of tender pork slices and filling enough I didn't want dessert. My lunch partner had Kung Pao chicken which looked good though I didn't taste, but he thought underwhelming, bland and average at best. If only going by my experience I would have given 5 stars but I have to take into consideration the opinion of my lunch partner for the benefit of anyone reading this review. I would eat there again but not likely anytime soon as it is an unnecessarily long drive when there are plenty of Asian restaurants that I like within my local area. Good but not 60 mile round-trip good.

Absolutely delicious!…read more I was craving filipino dishes and yelped Moreno Valley as I was visiting my parents. I was excited to try Official Lumpia lady as it came up as #1 recommendation on yelp. She did not disappoint. I ordered lumpia and barbecue sticks. The lumpia was freshly cooked so it was still crispy. My sister and I kept eating the lumpia while we were driving lol. The barbecue sticks were AMAZING! They come uncooked so you'll have to do the grilling yourself. The flavors brought me back to my childhood memories where we used to barbecue outside over a bonfire. The whole family enjoyed it. I will definitely order this again. The ordering process was pretty smooth - you order via IG online and schedule a pickup date. She was on time, friendly and very responsive to all my messages. I absolutely recommend the official lumpia lady.

The lumpia came with added sauces and the pancit was beautifully presented as it was topped with citrus slices. Tasty lumpia filled with chicken, pancit with pork and sausage bits mixed in along with veggies! It was a hit with our guests and I look forward to having Ms. Romelia bring her kitchen to our future gatherings again! Oh and if you order her cassava cake, you will not be disappointed!!!
