    Da Dinaguan
    Dolan T.

    I never pearlridge longtime but today had to go and have Lunch with my wife went to Bautista's I had the Dinaguan with rice cause their Dinaguan get the intestines oh yeah she had the pork Guisantes and some sides, but as busy as pearlridge is was okay, the service was great and quick a lot of people were in line, was kinda noisy but it's a food court

    Joanne S.

    Best Filipino food court go to. Portions are pretty good size. Usually i share with my daughter a 2 choice plate, but this time I could not resist 3 choices, because pancit is considered a choice. Unlike other Asian places where you can choose noodles or rice as your starch, so that is why I got 3 choices this time. My 2nd choice is lechon and this time they had a bbq shortrib that I had never seen before. It had been at least a year since I've been here, but if we eat at the mall, I chose this place. I wish they had one in Waikiki because there is no Filipino food restaurants out there. The bbq shortrib was really good! Thats going to be a favorite. There isn't Usually a long line at this place probably because I go after the lunch rush. Ladies are quick behind the counter, customers usually know what they want. Its located in a food court and dining area isn't as big as others mall so finding a place to sit could be challenging. Usually you can share a table with a couple other diners.

    Lechon & Chocolate Meat (dinaguan).. YUMMY

    I Love Filipino Food! This joint does it well. The best time to visit this joint is around lunch time. The lady's working there are forward-facing and get down to business. No real thrills in smiles. But, the food will make you smile. So ignore aunty & Manang for being a bit lack-luster. The restaurant is located in Uptown Mall Pearlridge. Nothing fancy. Just tables & chairs if you don't wanna take it to-go!

    Yummerz is all I can say. Pusit guisado & monggo beans

    The food is always consistently tasty. Pricey, but tasty. My go tos are the pig feet, pinapaitan & the tenga ng baboy. Delicious & addicting !

    Pancit
    Kathy U.

    Don't know why I haven't reviewed here before, I do get food every so often. Pancit - a little oily but yummy. It's all I got this time but I've enjoyed the veg lumpia and banana lumpia, pigs feet, and adobo in the past. What would make it 4 stars if the food was hot. Then the bit of oiliness wouldn't matter as much. Will have to check if they have a microwave oven the next time I go by. Servers are ok. Price is a bit high. It was $8 for a mini pancit, but the server did pack the little container completely full. I had to open it carefully so the noodles wouldn't spill out.

    When they charge for the soup containers and put foil... maybe tell the patrons that you are skimping!

    Used to be a good place for filipino food. The soup has no taste and lumpia is very small for $2 - literally the length of my pinky!! Service is ok. Located in the food court at Pearlridge Mall uptown side / Mauka.

    Pancit, Lumpia
    Peter H.

    Absolutely Delicious! Highly recommended if you love Pancit. I suggest trying everything

    Lechon & pancit 2 choice plate (ate some already, was fuller)
    Jessie M.

    Glad to have an option for Filipino food at pearl ridge fair portions for the price. $18 for two choice but sooo filling. I wish there was an option to replace rice for pancit because I wanted lechon kawali as well and ended up with a super full plate mahalo!

    Every time I come to Pearl Ridge to shop, Bautista's Filipino Kitchen is my go to for lunch. It's because their Filipino version of kalbi is good, the adobo is almost always seasoned well. A plate lunch with 3 options is $18.95 before tax. Today, I got 3 options with white rice, adobo with potatoes, stir fried shrimp and longanisa (Filipino sweet sausage). The adobo with potatoes was seasoned well. The potatoes were soft. We also got stir fried shrimp. The shrimp is soft and tender but it was a bit salty. The 3rd option is longanisa. They can't go wrong with this since it's premade and it only needs to be fried. ;) The service is so-so. I don't think they have ever smiled or said hi or hello. This is their normal service so don't expect anything. The older lady who serves the food isn't mad, she just won't smile and gives you a look that makes you wonder if she's pissed off or something. The one thing that bothered me was when I asked for vinegar. It's a small container with vinegar that is normally given when you purchase lumpia. I didn't buy lumpia but I spent about $33 with the mochi and coconut juice. I didn't get any vinegar. I was told there was none. I looked behind the counter and it was filled with a bunch of tiny containers filled with vinegar. I asked the cashier again if I can have just one vinegar. The cashier said we don't have any. I paid and left and didn't argue. Thank you for reading my review. Have a great week!

    Short ribs. A little oily, but good.
    Wanna L.

    Nice selection of items to choose from. I saw the short ribs and wanted to try them with rice. It's a 1 choice plate for $12.99. Ribs were a bit oily but flavored nicely and very tender. Rice was a touch mushy, but I ate it happily. The counter lady was very nice and offered me utensils, napkins and a take out bag. The place looked cleaned and bright. I saw a couple of dishes I never had before. I might have to try them on a return visit.

    Pancit plate w/lumpia...
    T S.

    Love Bautista's. Food is always fresh and the prices are reasonable too. Go for the 3 choice plate, its the best deal.

    I used to go here all the time to get my filipino food fix. Unfortunately they closed the Kalihi…read morerestaurant and now have to make the drive out to Waipahu. If you have never been here I highly recommend you trying their filipino food. Portion size is good and worth the money but the main reason you're buying their food is cause it's winnahs. I did take out a few of their menu items. Their special for July is lechon Kawali, pancit, pork gisantes and pork adobo fried rice. It's good to get this or mixed plate with 3 choices. It allows to try more of their menu selections. While one is good 3 or 4 is much better especially if coming here for the very first time. You won't be disappointed. I called in to place my order and it would be twenty minutes which is fine cause that's how long it took me to get there. The food was hot and ready to go. I made sure my ac was off so I can enjoy a nice hot lunch. The place was crowded even at 1pm. People know good food when they eat it. Lots of parking. The lechon Kawali was good. It's nice and meaty with some nice soft fat pieces. Oh so good. Yeah if you are worried about cholesterol then this might not be for you. If not you gonna enjoy it. The pancit is good. The pork gisantes which is more commonly known as pork and peas is really good. It's like stew and you wanna mix your rice with it. If you like eggs over easy then you should have that over your gisantes. It's sooooooo good. Kinda like Loco moco except it's stew. When that yolk breaks and blends in with the gisantes hoo boy. Just really good stuff there. Then the main attraction is their pork adobo fried rice omelet. I believe they were the original restaurant that brought it out. I might be wrong but they make it just right. Every bite is so good especially when you bite into one that has fat in it. Yummy. Yeah not a good choice if you're staying away from cholesterol but if not you're gonna enjoy it. The pork adobo fried rice is not dry like some other places I've tried. Ok I admit i love filipino food. I had to get dinuguan. Chocolate meat. Another winner with rice and really good with over eggs on top of it. Nice tender succulent pieces of pork. Oh my God, it's so good. I also got Shanghai lumpia. This is da bomb. You gotta eat this one hot and fresh. If not it gets stale and soggy so I ate this first. You dip it into vinegar. I like a little heat so I add Tabasco to it. Great with beer. It's so good. I'm missing it already. Then the final dish i got was their sari sari. It's soup with mixed veggies, baby shrimp and lechon. The soup is delicious and comforting. It's great on a cold night or maybe when you're feeling sick. Better than your chicken noodle soup for sure. It's also great remedy for that hangover you got last night. Lol All in all you just gotta try it. Let me know what you got and how good it tasted. Enjoy and thank me later.

I called and made a complaint and all the lady said was , sorry! I asked to speak to the manager or supervisor and she said that they don't have one. WTF! I'm calling the owners tomorrow!

She seemed very concerned and worried about my daughter who found it in her mouth. Thank God my 1-1/2 year old grandson didn't swallow it because he was eating it with my daughter!! Sooo dangerous ! Melissa will investigate this. Thanks Melissa. This taught me a lesson , as well as having a phobia . ALWAYS check your food when buying from restaurants or fast food. I Love eating and ordering pans of food at Elena's but I'll be very careful from now on.

The adobo fried rice had grated carrots, pork, and little bits of longanisa sausage throughout it. It added so much flavor and made the loco moco even more special.

LOL! I told her to just meet me at Costco in Iwilei, because it's right there with free, shared parking. Service was very friendly and efficient. We were shown to a private room in the back because the front had a private party with karaoke and a DJ! It was a bit loud and quite lively! My friend had never had Filipino cuisine before. I wanted her to try pancit (noodles), but she wanted the fried rice with salted fish. I really liked it because it also had salted egg on it. It reminded me of Chinese food that my family ate at home! My friend liked the lumpia (like deep fried spring rolls) and the beautiful halohalo (shaved ice with fruits and ube ice cream) dessert.

The restaurant is rather spacious with a ton of seating, so we always get seated right away. The servers have always been so kind, and the food never disappoints. When I was here with my parents, we had ordered Max's Teasers and it was a great plate to share with 3 people. Nothing too special about the dish, but it's a great app choice if you want a little bit of a few things/variety in your appetizer plate. The plates we shared were Max's Chicken and The Lechon Kawali. Max's Chicken is so perfectly cooked in my opinion with the most perfectly juicy meat steamed rice. The Lechon Kawali was also cooked really well, as it wasn't too fried to the point where the meaty parts of the pork was difficult to chew. I also had the Sago't Gulaman, and I will tell you that it's my favorite place to get Sago't Gulaman here. The second time I went, I brought my husband and he absolutely fell in love with the food too. For drinks, we ordered Calamansi Juice and Sago't Gulaman. You guys know my review for Sago't Gulaman; I would just say that the Calamansi Juice is on the sweeter side! For food, we ordered Lechon Kawali Sisig, and the Dinuguan. The Dinuguan was just the perfect meal to have to remind me of home. The ratio of the sauce and meat was perfect, and every bite was delightful. But between the two, I will say that the Lechon Kawali Sisig was MY personal favorite. The flavor was PERFECT and it was cooked just as well--it was tender and every bite was even better than the last...I definitely had to pace myself because it was that delicious. What always tops off my experience and why I'm giving Max's a 5/5 is because of how friendly and amazing the staff is. Always smiling and willing to help, and never snobby! Go visit Max's today!

When the food is ready, you get a text, pick-up is on the kitchen-side, backdoor. We'd heard good things about their steak, dynamite chicken, and ahi katsu so we wanted to try all three. There is a chicken + meat combo that allows you to upgrade the meat to ribeye; we ordered this plate with all green salad. Then we ordered the King Kam ahi katsu with rice and upgraded the side to imitation crab salad. If you love sauce, this is for you. Their fried items are nicely cooked, the ahi katsu had a nice rare center and the boneless chicken was still juicy, but both lost their crispness under a mountain of seasoned soy sauce, Kewpie mayo, sriracha aioli, and sweet chili sauce. With the additional garlic, katsuobushi, furikake, and green onion, these are flavor bombs. The ribeye had a nice char from the grill. It's served with a side of crack sauce which has a vinegar, fish sauce base, plus chili, garlic and cilantro. The heat from the steak and chicken withered the bed of green salad underneath, so we didn't eat it; serves us right for not getting rice and mac salad with a plate lunch. At Kingz, more is more.

I'd order this again for sure. The restaurant is on the smaller side, so seating could be a little tough during peak hours. Same goes for parking, it's a shared parking lot with other places in the complex. But the service is welcoming and the cashier was so helpful guiding us on what to order and describing the meals.

    For our dinner we were served with the following dishes: Snails simmered in coconut milk, green…read moremango slices, pinakbet, garlic butter prawns, Insalada with bagoong na isda, Lechon kawali, grilled Hito, Bulalo soup, pork barbecue on a stick, freshly fried Turon, Biko and Karioka. We were spoiled to the max! The owners and their family run the place and in true Filipino hospitality, they served us buffet/family style and entertained us with their stories from their humble beginnings to what they are today. The food was the best I've had in the Island. Hands down. Everything tasted nostalgic because the technique used in cooking each dish tasted like a handed down recipe from a grandma's kitchen from back home in the motherland. If you're ever in the island of Oahu please make your way to Waipahu and sample as much of their offerings as you can and I can guarantee you will not be disappointed! 10/10 recommended coming from a humble cook who rarely raves about Filipino food because I myself learned from my paternal grandmother.

    Stumbled upon this place because had to go get a haircut for my nephew at the Waipahu plantation…read moremarketplace. They're located on the corner and once you see a tent & smell bbq, you're at the right spot. This restaurant gave karinderia vibe to it! Karinderia is basically like those food stalls they have in the Philippines, where they have a bunch of dishes and you sit out to enjoy the food. Home cooked & affordable eats. They have everything from bbq sticks, adobo, lechon, kilawan, lumpia and more. I got the bbq stick & chicken inasal plate. The bbq stick was packed with so much flavor! The chicken inasal was more on the huli huli side & was served with Filipino dipping sauce. They also offer free sabaw with your meal. Ordering was a little complicating, they have a menu outside with food and also more food inside. The bbq items were cooked by order and the inside food had more of the Filipino dishes like (adobo). But next to the cashier, you could also find other fried dishes as well. So a little complicated. You also have the option to sit outside under the tent or inside the restaurant with AC. For this type of place, if you're dining in, you order & eat first then pay. Like any karindera. Overall, this place was VERY good & SUPER AFFORDABLE. If you want to experience a true Filipino experience with great food, this place is for you.
