    I don't usually post reviews, but im totally disappointed with their lechon. Please see attached photos (i took these photos as soon as i opened and tasted the food) . I got so excited to order since it has been a while since i've eaten filipino style lechon... but to me, this is the worst looking and tasting lechon. Pork's skin is so old, not crispy at all, looks and tastes like it was cooked days ago... so unfresh and the meat is nasty and dry. So disappointed.. nothing like filipino's original lechon. So sorry for this review but this is an honest one...

    Worst place to order. We ordered the 1/4 lechon and we deposited $20. The pick up was 11/6/22 @11am. We we went to the LA store, took us more than an 1hr to get there. The store was closed and I called the number. They told me I did not confirm the day before the pick-up(which they did not even mention to us). So, long story short. We wasted our day and until now. We haven't received our deposit of $20! Is this how they run their business?! It is not hard to refund the $20. I will update again later today.

    See cash only

    The only reason why I know about this spot is because of my friend.. he wanted a roasted pig for Christmas. We was able to order the pig a couple days before and pay for it the day of pick up. You have to call ahead because they are a catering business and all of their roasted pig whole or half was sold out. The place was easy to find and the lady over the phone was super nice. They take cash only so please remember that. After paying my pig was being brought out and the guy walked it to my car, which is a nice touch. It smelled so good and I can tell it was seasoned perfectly. Now this is our Christmas tradition get a roast pig ! Now I'm excited. The place was so cute full of pig decor, no indoor dinning but you can get the feel of the place when you walk in. We will be back hands down, the drive was worth it and I will come again.

    A hidden gem in Ktown! I ordered the 10$ plate and it was fresh and so savory. Exactly what I've been craving but have to put of town to hunt down. The owner was super friendly and sweet, and explained the details to the menu. It was my first time and she offered me a free sauce ( we all know this meal is made better bc if it) making my experience even more memorable. I didn't know they sell the full size pig as well for events!!! Small business owners whose been here over 40 years! Come support this cozy, delicious and adorable spot in the heart of LA.

    The worst lechon. Dry and it doesn't look fresh at all. I don't know if it's just one off but seeing the past reviews kind of validate this feedback. Please see attached photos for everyone's reference.

    Ordered the lechon for my father's birthday. Don't really know much about lechon but unfortunately, my father is somewhat of an aficionado and was rather disappointed . So, in his words, the lechon was probably prepared at least a day before (eventhough we were promised it will be cooked the same day of pick up) because of the following reasons: 1. The skin was not crispy, more like leathery. Like a bag or something. 2. It was a bit burnt probably because they just reheated (because of his claim that it was cooked at least a day before) 3. The meat was dry. Very dry. 4. He says, if it is freshly cooked, bits of fat will still be sticking to the skin. There was no fat left. Refer to #1. He kept repeating these throughout the day so I remembered. In hindsight, I should've been able to tell when I picked it up and noticed it wasn't hot despite the claim that it just finished cooking but I just ignored it. Caveat Emptor. It'll be better if we just "paksiw" the thing. He said. He was right. I called Eva's Lechon to complain about this and confirm if what we got was indeed a day old. They told me that they guarantee that it was fresh so I guess the condition it was in was how they really meant it to be. To be fair though, they offered to refund me 15% of the purchase price (I declined because we "Paksiw-ed" most of it and it finished the whole thing) and promised the next one I order will be better.

Located on the busy streets of Melrose. Parking is most definitely a challenge. We circled around twice and had no luck so we ended up parking closed to 2 blocks away in a residential area. We were committed to trying Kuya Lord's food. Once we arrived the location was close to capacity. We came on a Saturday right around 2:30pm. They offer some tables outside and mostly high top table seating inside with one lower table that is wheel chair accessible. We decided on a few ala carte dishes to share and a Mexican Coke because why not!? We ordered: Prime Beef Short Ribs (savory) Pork Longganisa (sweet) Java Garlic Rice (pint/2 scoops) Tomate Cucumber Salad The staff was kind enough to bring all the shareable plates and orders as it all came out. First impressions, great presentation and aromatics with each dish. Everything was freaking amazing! Chef is a James Beard award winner and I can see why. These are Filipino dishes that I loved eating as a kid and it's elevated on a number of levels. They reminded of me of vacation in the Philippines and eating in the comfort of home. That Java Garlic Rice though! It's SPECIAL! It's one of the most memorable things on the menu. It's one of a kind rice I've not had before. The mix of sweet and savory with the freshness of a salad created a great dining experience for us. We unintentionally created our own family menu. I'm all for supporting my culture and my heritage and I'm glad my wife and I were blessed to try this food. Honestly, I can say this was some of best homestyle dishes of Filipino food I've eaten. Kuya Lord has found a way to elevate our simples dishes and maximize all the right balance of flavors that highlights what our Filipino Cuisine represents to all types of people. I can co-sign that in my personal opinion, Kuya Lord's is worth the hype! I absolutely loved it! I would make this drive and take time to find parking because it was that good to me! Salamat, Kuya Lord! ( ^_^)b

    The Kare Kare from Spoon & Pork is nothing short of a warm, comforting hug in a bowl…read more When the dish arrived at my table, I was immediately drawn to its rich, golden peanut sauce -- smooth and fragrant, with a roasted nuttiness that made my mouth water before I even took a bite. Nestled in the sauce were vibrant, perfectly cooked vegetables: tender bok choy, slightly charred green beans, and slices of eggplant that had soaked up all the savory depth of the stew. At the heart of the dish lay generous chunks of beef -- fork-tender, deeply flavored, with just enough fat to melt into the sauce and give it that rich, silky mouthfeel Kare Kare is known for. Sprinkled over the top were crunchy bits, adding a satisfying contrast to every spoonful. Of course, the small side of bagoong (fermented shrimp paste) was essential -- a modest dollop transformed each bite, balancing the sweetness and creaminess of the peanut sauce with a punch of briny intensity. Paired with steaming garlic rice, every scoop felt like the perfect blend of textures and flavors, a true homage to the Filipino classic. Eating Spoon & Pork's Kare Kare felt both nostalgic and elevated -- the heart and soul of a traditional comfort food presented with an eye for freshness and balance. It's the kind of dish that makes you slow down, savor each bite, and immediately start planning your next visit.

    4.5 stars. Sorry,…read moreguys - I'm still catching up on my reviews and am kicking myself for failing to write this before Spoon & Pork permanently shut its doors. This was an unforgettable eatery. During our trip to Los Angeles in May, 2023, Wendell invited Jay, Z and me to meet up with Veda and him for a late lunch at 2 PM at one of their favourite Filipino restaurants, Spoon & Pork, on Sunday, the 7th. Spoon & Pork, which originated as a food truck, was a restaurant that specialized in Filipino comfort food with a contemporary twist. They offered a fresh, inventive fusion of the flavours of the Philippines with modern sophistication. Nestled in the vibrant heart of Los Angeles' Silver Lake neighbourhood, Spoon & Pork was a cozy boutique eatery on bustling Sunset Boulevard that greeted guests with a neon pig sign at their front entrance. No private lot on this busy street, so finding nearby parking was a bit challenging and although the charming spot offered both indoor and al fresco dining, seating was also limited. The tropical-inspired dining room with warm wood accents created an effortlessly cool and relaxed atmosphere that felt both modern and rooted in tradition. Upon entry, guests were welcomed by the aroma of sizzling meats and fragrant spices which alluded to the culinary journeys to come. The food at Spoon & Pork wasn't exactly what one's nanay (mom) or lola (grandma) would cook. Celebrating fresh takes on the richness of Filipino cuisine, the menu was an invitation to indulge in unexpected, compelling twists on a thoughtfully curated selection of traditional dishes, infusing familiar flavours into new forms. Below are what we ordered: beef tapa ($25) - MASARAP (DELICIOUS)! Of all the dishes that we ordered, this was the winner of them all as the succulent meat packed a punch of flavour. adobo tofu ($14) - One of Wendell's regular orders, this notable plant-based option, was a tasty, innovative take on the Philippine classic that balanced tradition with modern creativity. laing ($9) - From their platito, small plates section, this bowl of coconut braised taro leaves was rich and creamy deliciousness, but, yes, mini in portion size. garlic rice ($4/$7) - Ordering the garlic rice over plain jasmine rice was a no brainer. Thoroughly infused with the savouriness of the many bits of garlic, this rice perfectly paired with all of the other dishes. bistek ($28) - The skirt steak was very tender and the sauce perfectly balanced the tanginess from the calamansi juice with the savoury soy sauce. lechon kawali ($23) - Another reimagined classic dish featuring crispy, golden pork belly with crunchy skin and tender, flavourful meat inside. The dish was complemented by a tangy, pickled red cabbage that enhanced the crispy texture and added a refreshing contrast. This mastery of flavour and texture tickled Z's tastebuds and won him over. Before this day, Z was never a fan of Filipino food. Everything tasted boldly rich and every bit intensely intoxicated our taste buds. Service was quick, friendly, and attentive. What a remarkably epicurean feast and delightful experience we enjoyed! We're super bummed that Spoon & Pork permanently closed shoppe. Z and I were hoping to return for another tasty meal. Truly, a worthy spot this place was to hit up for an impressively creative taste of the Philippines in Los Angeles.

    Here's a polished review that captures the community vibe you described:…read more I finally made it to Dollar Hits, and while the food is great, what really stood out to me was the atmosphere. This place feels like where culture meets community. The concept is simple: you grab your skewers and food inside, then head over to the communal grill to cook and heat everything up yourself. But somehow, that simple setup creates something special. People from all different backgrounds, cultures, and walks of life gather around the same grill, sharing space, conversations, and good food. As we stood there cooking our skewers, I couldn't help but notice how friendly and welcoming everyone seemed. Strangers were chatting with each other, exchanging cooking tips, laughing, and just enjoying the moment. It felt less like a restaurant and more like a neighborhood gathering where everyone was invited. Of course, the BBQ itself was delicious. There's something satisfying about grilling your own food and getting it exactly how you like it. But honestly, the experience goes beyond the food. The energy is contagious. Everyone looked like they were having a genuinely good time, and that's something you don't see everywhere these days. Dollar Hits is one of those places that reminds you food has always been about bringing people together. Great food, great vibes, and a sense of community that's hard to find.

Each time I come by, it's always a good time and the staff here make you feel at home. If you haven't been recently or at all, you're missing out on what makes Filipino culture so fun.

    A while back, I saw a video of a grip of gen z Fil-Ams talking about how this was their go to spot…read morefor Filipino foods. A lot of them said they fux with the sinigang. Color me confused because I had never heard of her. What rock have I been living under that I'd never heard of this place? So, early one Saturday, I pulled up with my sister from another mister to get our breakfast on. First of all, tell me why they're basically down the street from me. They've been around as long as I've been alive and not once had I been. Truly a shock considering my commitment with never making food at home. I stay eating outside. There was only one other group of diners while we were there. A family of 4 who were seated in the back room. We ended up being seated in the area facing Fountain. My first comment was how I felt like I was at my Lola's house because the decor was giving Lola vibes, in the best way. I felt like I was home. My friend got the laing meal and I got the tocino. We also got a side order of the sweet & spicy longanisa. Broooooooooooooo That food was wow. I'm gonna say it again - it tasted like home. Down to the fixins on the table like vinegar and suchas. I appreciated all the little touches. We ate so much yet still had so much leftovers. Their portion size was crazy. We would've been good with just one meal and another protein a la carte. We also got a small bowl of their arroz caldo. Let me tell you something, a single tear legit went down my left cheek. That tasted like what my mom made for me when she was still with us. The memories that came flooding back took me on a rollercoaster of emotions. We did order their famous empanada that never came. We had to remind our server that he never dropped it off. I'm not sure why he didn't double check if we still wanted them which we did. We would've obviously paid for them. Despite that they're getting all the stars from me because the food was fire and their drinks were 10/10. I got the Maria Clara. They also allow two free refills so that's a double win. I'm about to pull up every weekend. Take all my monies.

Our server was nice and accommodated us quickly when we needed something. The wait time for the food we ordered wasn't so bad. I also liked the ambiance of the restaurant because it felt like I was inside a family friend's house, which was unique to me. The food is a little on the pricier side for Filipino food, but overall I had a great experience dining here.
