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!

I ordered the tosilog and my SIL ordered the lechon kawali to share. This is by far the best tosilog I've had in my life, and I've had a lot of tosilog and tocino in general in my day. For a whole Filipino breakfast with lots of meat, great garlic rice and an egg or two it was only around $13-$14. Amazing. I'm so sad this place is only in the Palm Springs area. I'm ready to go back.

Don't think too much into it. It's ran by an older couple and one other guy who is probably the dishwasher. They're still remodeling the other side. Food was good, service was decent.

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. They even sell some Valerios bakery goodies at the front near the check out. The vegetable selection is also pretty decent: ampalaya, okra, talong, a wide selection of pechay and root crops. 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!

Had a business/pleasure meeting so we decided to meet over Chinese. The person I was meeting…read moresuggested we try JOY Asian Cuisine, the menu looked good so I was game. 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.

We ordered two trays for each dish and we didn't let either of them go to waste! Ms. Romelia cooked and prepared each dish ready to serve, in fact we tossed each tray on chafing dishes and it stayed fresh for hours! 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!!! Love the coconut flavors and texture, a delicious dessert! Highly recommend orders from the official lumpia lady!
