February 2021 was the time we visited Batchoyan Ilonggo Restaurant. Yup, we were there during those awful Covid times. The times where we were still required to wear face masks. Filipino food was what the family wanted. So we made our way to Batchoyan Ilonggo Restaurant since we were in the Camarillo area. We ordered our food to go. Batchoy, Pancit, and Lechon Kawali were the main entrees we purchased. For dessert, we tried their Bibingka and their steamed Rice cake (I'm not going to say the Filipino word for it because in Spanish that word means something else). All the food we tried was delicious. We will have to return one of these days. I'm sure we will sometime.

You call it BATCHOY..i call it "Best-Choice"..

4 stars for now..the Batchoy itself is 5 stars as per US standards (i can't complain) ..it gives me nostalgia every single time i take a sip of that soup..reminds me of something nice and simple yet filled with good memories..then you pair it with rice cake..just a perfect blend of saltiness from the soup and the sweetness of the rice cake makes your palate jumps excitedly..the explosion of flavors makes your taste buds overwhelmed yet able to comprehend..you savor every spoonful and every time you chew on that noodles with the stuff that goes with it, it gives you the feeling of satisfaction wherein you can say "it's worth the drive from LA"..4 stars because i haven't tasted the other stuff yet but undoubtedly i will comeback pretty soon..will definitely recommend..

Ilonggo Foodie-Style We revisited Batchoyan, and it's still amazing -- even after a 1.5-hour drive! The batchoy has that rich, savory broth we Ilonggos love -- comforting, flavorful, and just right. My son had the pork belly barbecue, perfectly tender with that sweet-savory kick. The puto is soft, fluffy, and the perfect companion to the batchoy. Plus, the owner Mike and his staff are so friendly, making every visit even better. Authentic comfort food worth every mile!

My wife and I were here with 6 others for lunch. We ordered about 6 dishes and had enough that each of us took a little home. Food was very good. Service was good. You have to order at the counter and then take the food to your table later. One thing that was annoying - outside door got stuck quite a few times, and wouldn't close. Thus, cold air came blowing in frequently and restaurant was chilly. We were fortunate in that we had brought jackets along.

We went here yesterday as I was really craving for Filipino food and the reviews looks legit but I was very disappointed and wished we never came here. Please never come here! We ordered their special beef batchoy and lechon pares and it was awful. We wasted $52 for all, everything we just to ate one or two bites and left everything at our table, we did not even bother to take it to go because it's awfully soooo sweet, bland and it's very unappetizing! It looked great but tastes awful! It's very hard to swallow! She said I made a good choice of my order and if that was their good choice i don't know anymore how else is the rest of their food. Take note: Their door is very loud too, it slams every time theirs a customer who comes in and out, it's very annoying and it hurts the ear. I would NEVER recommend! 0-10!!

To see if Popeyes tastes better in its home country, I bought some to try. Hmm, it's just as good as what I usually eat, nothing special. The food quality control is definitely on point

Pancit, lechon
Tian W.

Super hearty batchoy that was perfect for the cold weather months when I wanted more meat than pho. Soup is on the sweeter side but they make up for it with the heaps of garlic! Pancit is great, as is the lechon.

Receipt and wrong order, is this looks like sotanghon?
Leo A.

I ordered pancit sotanghon and they give me pancit bihon which is cheaper the price .

Batchoyan original bowl with egg Aug.2023

I've been wanting to try them out since they opened but didn't get a chance to till now. First time trying bitchoyan and sad to say I'm not really a fan. There was way too much soup for my liking . Seemed like they were trying to make it look like a bigger bowl than it was (I'm not sure). Noodles were a great consistency. Sliced eggs weren't too bad (**egg was additional). I like the idea of the chichiron in the soup for the added texture but it ended up making the soup way too greasy. Which made it was hard to enjoy for my liking. Maybe that's how it's meant to be, I'm not sure. The restaurant is very spacious. Dining area is kept clean . But the restroom has a funky smell.

Filipino Ham
Cara C.

This restaurant is clean and the staff is very friendly. Seems like there's only indoor seating at this eatery. We ordered a Holiday Filipino ham to go. Tastes so good. Something special to add for the holiday menu.

Original Batchoy with egg and Putos on the side.
Manuel D.

I had ordered some A La Carte items from Batchoyan Ilonggo for larger gatherings before, but didn't give myself the time to sit down and have a bowl of their batchoy, and it felt wrong to review the place without tasting the plate that it's named after (although my review would have been 5 stars regardless). This afternoon I finally did. The lady working the front was very friendly and helpful, as I was not sure what to order with my original batchoy. Per her recommendation, I ended up getting an order of putos, and I have to say, the rich savory flavor of the batchoy combined with the tender sweetness of the puto is a winning combination. The restaurant itself is always impeccable, with ample room between the tables so even at full capacity it wouldn't feel crowded. That, combined with the restaurant working on a buzzer system makes for a very peaceful environment for a meal. I will certainly keep coming back!

Pancit canton
Lisa V.

Very nice Filipino restaurant! Employees were VERY nice and restaurant was spic and span! Garlic rice was 10/10, pork lumpia was so good the picky child gives it a 10/10, canton pancit was good as well. I'm glad we visited!

Little bit of everything
Melissa L.

I've been passing this restaurant for awhile now and I was always eager to go but unsure as I personally hadn't known anyone who had eaten here or shared positive reviews. However, I saw a good amount of my Yelp friends leaving decent reviews and decided to give this spot a try for lunch. I hate leaving under 4 stars, especially because we are in need of more Filipino restaurants in the area, but I just wasn't wowed by this spot. My breakdown is the service was a 5/5, food 3.5/5, value 2/5, and ambiance 3/5. First things first. I came for lunch right at opening on a weekday. There was only one gal in the restaurant and she was waiting on a to go order. The inside was a bit stark and didn't really give off a vibe that made me want to stay. So I also opted for to go. The interior is pretty bare and no frills. I did like seeing the pictures on the walls depicting their culture and different scenery but otherwise this restaurant was giving a bit of a food court bare look. I feel like little fake/real flowers on the tables would have been a nice look. Just needs a little something. Also there was no music or anything on inside. Felt a bit awkward. I don't think anyone wants to dine in an empty restaurant in silence. I will say I came at opening so maybe they just needed a little more time to set up? About 10 minutes in they finally turned on a tv in the restaurant but it was cable tv just playing commercials, so again, not really a vibe. The service here though is great. The food was all made fresh to order. The gentleman who took my order was patient with me as I looked over the menu. He didn't rush me but waited attentively at the register to take it down and cash me out. Also the woman who gave me my food was very pleasant, smiley and kind. Nice people work here so I really hope they make take some of my critics into consideration, to just improve a few things here and there. I really wish they had lunch specials or lunch plates here as this would be a better value and allow people to try a couple different signature bites for under $20. The issue I have as a single lady dining alone was that each item/main protein ran about $16. And the portion size was enough to feed 2-3 people. So value wise for a big family or party sharing, good bang for your buck. But as a customer dining alone, it doesn't make much sense. For example, I wanted to try both the lechon and the pancit, but at $16 a pop that would have been $32 (not counting if you want lumpia, rice, and a drink). And again, the portions are so huge I would have too much extra food and be paying well over a causal lunch $ price. It would be so smart of them to serve like one protein, a scoop of pancit or rice, and two lumpia's for under $25. Now that I would have been excited for! Instead I went with the pancit, lumpia, and white garlic rice which put me at about $28. The food was all "okay", good but not amazing. Thankfully I've had a good number of Filipino friends take me in over the years to share their food with me, so I feel at least decently versed in good staple Filipino food. The garlic rice was good, fluffy and crispy garlic chunks, tasty but it is just classic rice. The lumpia sadly were wayyy over fried. I know lumpias can take on a darker fry appearance compared to like a traditional egg roll but I've never had lumpia this dark and the taste was like a stale oily taste. When looking at other people's lumpia pictures from here there's didn't look as cooked as mine, I think my batch just fried a little too long so it really wasn't that good. The pancit with glass noodles was decent enough, just not entirely memorable. The portion size was amazing though and it tasted fresh, no issues there. I'm glad we gave Filipino food here in the 805 and especially in Camarillo. I just didn't feel that this spot delivered or hit all of the marks but seeing as my friends had better experiences I would be open to trying them again sometime.

This little restaurant is amazing, absolutely love that it's stuck around on CSU Channel Islands'…read morecampus for so long. When I was a student here, I often frequented Mom Wong's or Tortillas and they're still here which is incredible. Mom Wong's is very student-friendly prices as well. Each dish pictured here was about $10-12 and the portions are huge! Seriously, if I was still a student here I'd be going here every week because I'd have enough food for three days. Now for the quality of the food... each dish was great. The chow mein, which included chicken and shrimp, was awesome. Seasoned nicely and not too greasy. The orange chicken, which looked and tasted a bit more like sweet and sour chicken (not mad about that!), was also very good and retained its crispiness. The fried rice, which is what my wife ordered, was good, kinda soy sauce heavy but it had a nice flavor overall. (Tbh idk why but I've never been a huge fan of fried rice).

Suddenly, I wanted to eat dumplings, and I decided to try here…read more It's located in the back of CSUCI. At first, I didn't think there was a restaurant there. Inside the restaurant, the ambiance is casual. I ordered the Juicy pork dumpling($10.99 ) and Milk tea with boba ($4.49). The dumplings were very juicy and a little sweet. That would be nice if they had some ginger slices and black vinegar for the dumplings. About boba tea, it's good. I prefer the tea to be stronger. Boba tea was warm, which means it's fresh, but needed more ice. They always serve in to-go containers. This place is good for friends, couples, and families. Parking is in front of the restaurant.

Food: yes they do marinate their meats and broth for at least 24 hours. It definitely tastes so much better. I normally order the Pho (rice noodles with meatballs. The marinated broth makes a huge difference and so satisfying. Make sure you add the fresh veggies in your soup for optimal taste. Springs rolls are made to order served with a fresh peanut dip. Banh min sandwiches are great too plus the freshly made French roll. Everyone normally has leftovers. Pricing is moderate but everyone leaves with a happy full belly.

One of the best memories from our trip! My family and I revisited this place last Saturday, and…read morethere were three of us. The restaurant was full, but the atmosphere was calm, modern, and very welcoming. We were looking for a good ramen spot and we happened to remember this great place and it turned out to be a fantastic decision once AGAIN!!

The tonkotsu broth was rich and flavorful, and the chashu pork was incredibly tender and delicious. We also tried the spicy tuna crispy rice, Coco ramen and Curry Ramen (Khao Soi), and everything was very satisfying. If you're visiting Camarillo, this place is absolutely worth checking out for sure!
