Update on Bautista's Filipino food located in the food court uptown Pearl Ridge . Now I remember why I don't come here to eat often . I love Filipino Squid Guisado but normally other places remove the cartilage of the baby squid . Here at Bautista's they leave it so look at my pics . Lots of plastic back cartilage that I had to remove from my mouth when eating . Service was fast and friendly although their pork and peas was delicious. Support local read more

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. read more

Recently went there to get Pinakbet because I was waiting for a family member and since I can't get this type of food where I live in the east side kahala I craved it. Going there they were not busy at that time. I was with my friend and we asked them a question then they ignored me so she spoke up and they still ignored us as if we were not there. The service was horrible and that is a big mistake the person I was with has a very successful business with her husband and lots of clients and friends. The price of the food was super pricey, the food looked dry. I sometimes don't care enough of the food but price and service matters. I'd rather next time drive to golden coin. I haven't tried. Elena yet. This place zero and disappointing. read more

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! read more

I love this place but honestly it's a hit or miss on some days. Got my the lechon and it was so rubbery no crispness and it tasted a little under cooked so I didn't end up eating my plate. This was a great spot before not sure what's happening. read more

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

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. read more

I used to love this place but my last experience ruined it for me. The mungo beans smelled really sore but I figured I was just being paranoid, well....I ended up having to leave work early and spend the next 24 hours on the toilet. I should have went with my nose and not ate it. I will not be back because why is a restaurant selling spoiled food? read more

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. read more

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! read more

We eat here when I want some Filipino dish in pearlridge. Now, the food doesn't have any flavor and the customer service is terrible. I think Bautista sold the food establishment because it was way better. Don't eat here. read more

Omg Sarisari is No ka oi -the best. Very nice window servers. Clean. I'll always come here. Good Filipino T Mochi desserts. read more

I still come here but lately it changed, No consistency on there food. I been coming here as long as I can remember. The Pinapaitan this time no taste, like they forgot to put the spices in for taste, all ingredient perfect, but flavor was not there. I spent nearly $40 bucks and two items was not good, the second one was pig feet it was still tuff, but I know me I will go back, maybe not soon but in time I will, You guys where always my to go place, please don't loose your gift in cooking. read more

Lechon tomato onions finally fresh and crisp where necessary. Mung bean taste like a mouth full of iodized salt . Braised beef harder than beef Jerry. To make it worse. the staff did not take me serious. Says I am the only one complained that they had sold out. I was the only brave one to make the call. read more

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. read more

I don't know why Bautista's rating is so low?!?! I come here when I want my "filipino food craving" satisfied fast. I always order their lechon kawali (remember to ask for their vinegar and chili pepper in the little container, because they don't usually ask...why? I don't know!!!) and mongo beans with sabaw from usually the pinakbet over my requested one scoop rice (not two that it comes with, and they always accommodate). Well, I can guess why their ratings are so low, even though they usually have a line. It's because their customer service can use some enthusiasm and energy. The younger servers are more customer oriented, but the manangs, ninangs and ates should smile more and be more engaging. Hey, I am 67 years old and one of them too, although 3rd generation and raised here. Just my $.02!!! read more

Unwelcome attitude, not listening to what you order, just poor customer overall. What makes it worst is grandma age staffs working and the food are tasty like over cook maybe from a poor future food. read more

Food is great. Great portions and flavorful. I like to come when they just open so everything is freshly made read more

Of all the pork gisantes I've eaten, Bautista's is among my favorite. Lots of peas, too! Yummy!

Okay, so I know that there are many options that are better in the area of Filipino food. But, I do love that Bautista's is located in the middle of a busy food court at Pearlridge, and almost always has one of the longest lines... That's got to say something! They are fast, they've got good prices, and give large portions! Being that it's an eatery, you at least expect the food to be decent, which it is, for the most part. Personally, I think some of their dishes could use some salt, or tiny adjustments to their recipes though, but that's just my opinion. I also like my adobo to be more vinegary. I really enjoy their lumpia with the spicy vinegar, but they run out fast, so you have to go at the right time. My husband enjoys the pancit and squid guisado. There are lots of tables, being in the food court and all. This is our usual go to lunch spot when we're in this part of the mall. read more

I'm not sure why their reviews are so low but I went last week and I thought it was pretty good for a mall food court. Honestly, more malls needs Filipino foods as an options. It's always the same thing, Chinese food, Korean food, Japanese food, some type of sandwich shop and chicken fast food. Filipino food doesn't get the love it deserves. The price was a little on the higher end for a plate lunch place but the portions were good, food was tasty and service was quick even though they had a pretty long line when we went. I would come back again! read more

the last time I went there the ladies serving was incredibly rude and I had my 9 month old niece with me who at the time that I was ordering was babbling as she is teething and the lady who was helping me kept looking at me and my niece and giving us really dirty looks as if we were being disruptive when literally we were there during the weekend lunch rush so the food court was very loud and chaotic but for some reason my teething niece just seemed to really bother her. Also the food is meh, and the prices in comparison to other Filipino restaurants is incredibly high, a 2 choice plate here is almost $20 when a 2 choice plate somewhere else is around $14. So although bautistas used to be my favorite after this last experience I probably l won't be going again. read more

Food was ok for food court options! Rice little dry, squid was good and so was Diniguan. Would go here again if I'm in the mood for Filipino food that's already hot n ready to serve(convenience). read more

Bautista's Filipino Kitchen - Diniguan (pork blood), squid guisado - Filipino Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Standard Filipino plate lunch, served cafeteria style. Good: Love that you can get lechon as a choice. It was the best thing on my plate, salty and very moist. Easy access in the Pearlridge mall, so you don't have to drive out to Waipahu. Cons: Pretty expensive for standard plate lunch ($18 for 2 choice). Cannot get half rice, half pancit like most places. Monggo beans were on the bland side. Entrees we're a little lukewarm/cold. read more

I recently ate here but the quality has gone down as well the price went up. I ate a rockstar special which I thought was was lechon. Now I know why they called it rockstar, after one bite I almost cracked my tooth. Rockstar was rock hard read more

Came here on a Saturday night and decided to get a 2 item plate. Portion size was very big! I actually got 2 meals out of it. I got Sari Sari and Lechon. The sari sari was yummy with eggplant and kabocha. The lechon was mostly good ( a few dry pieces). I get Filipino food cravings and on days when I don't want to drive far Bautista is great! Super fast too because you just point and choose. read more

Ate here twice on different occasions because I craved Filipino cuisine at the time being in the mall. Once shortly after opening for business the other during the evening dinner period. Over priced. Lacking attention to Service. Similar staples is subpar compared to other Filipino restaurant quality. I gave a 2 star because my friend ordered pancit said it was the bomb. I had a tasted but I did not agree with his opinion. read more

I'm used to the service being slow. The food is usually worth it. Sadly the squid gesado has changed. It definitely isn't as good. Small squid w/ some kind of bell pepper flavor now. Must be a different cook or something. The lechon was ok. And the kari kari was just meh. I'll give it another try in a couple of months. read more

My favorite place to go every time I hit the mall. I love their variety of food. The service is good. People are friendly. It's located in the food court so there is plenty of seats if you go a little early before lunch rush hour. read more

Ordered (2) 3-choice plates: chicken papaya, Gisantes, Lechon, Pinakbet & squid Guisado. Gisantes had 2 bite size meat and ALL peas, Pinakbet veggies did not taste fresh, Squid had zero taste and I got no skin pieces of Lechon. Chicken papaya was my only highlight. Ordered 3 piece side Lumpiya which was decent. Customer service could be friendlier. I will only be back for their pigs feet. read more

Always go there when I am in the area. Best Filipino food. Disappointed that a couple of my favorite items were unavailable. It was New Year's Eve so I guess I should have expected that. Ordered pigs feet and Gisantes. Good portions and the pigs feet was perfect. Equal amounts of meat and juicy skin fat.... yummy. Can't wait till next visit. read more

The workers are the most unfriendly people. They act like I'm bothering them when I order. The cashier's attitude was worst. My food didn't reach her yet because they were packing 4 lumpias. There were no other customers besides me. I was waiting to pay and she said, "What do you want?' in a disgusting tone. I told her I was waiting for the lady next to her to pass my food to her. She said nothing at all. No apology for her rude behavior/comment. I paid and not even a thank you. Food is decent but service is bad. read more

Great deal on 3 choice plate. They ate celebrating their 38 anniversary. Staff was friendly and offered to give us samples The mung beans was flavorful but the pork adobo was tasteless. However, the spareribs was tasty but kind of tough. The next time we go we may have the pinakbit or lechon. They gave us extra plates and forks. read more

Bautista's food today was a disappointment. The chicken papaya was decent but lack the flavor that I've had before. Squid guisado also was lacking in taste. Also to my dismay the membrane was not removed. My favorites here is the diniquan, but now I might not be back. Be safe support local. read more
