    Left to right: Sinigang, ginataang baboy, pancit.
    Daniel D.

    I pulled up to order some lumpia to-go for my work and to support the local community but ended up ordering more than expected because I was equally hungry and reminiscent of my childhood. It had a fairly simple set up of a few tables with the food warmed up and ready to be served at the front. You walk up to the counter and just let them know what you want cafeteria style. They don't really have a menu listing everything they serve, nor did they have labels on the glass so you know what to ask for. You just point and they put it in a container. You also seat yourself, but there were only a couple people there aside from me so there was no issue finding a seat. Their water can be found sitting in the front that you serve yourself through an open pot into a small cup. A little questionable as it's not covered or dispensed through a machine, it's just sitting there in an open area. But I'm still alive and healthy while writing this review so no issues there. After ordering the 40 lumpias to go, the lady at the front repeated it with wide-eyed emphasis and told me I'd have to wait. Of course I'd wait, lola! I'd wait all day for lumpia! This is also one of the reasons I ended up ordering for dine-in as well. In addition to the lumpia, I ordered pancit and what I believe to be ginataang baboy. Pancit consists of glass noodles with a mixture of veggies and chicken. It was a bit greasier than I expected, but tasted good. Ginataang baboy is pork stew that is cooked with coconut milk. The cream was rich and incredibly heavy, I would describe as one of the foods you can probably only have once in a while. They also served my dishes with a side of sinigang, and sinigang has always been good to me regardless of the restaurant. While it doesn't quite take the #1 spot on my list of Filipino restaurants, it's a place that I see myself coming back to consistently just to experience my childhood again through a bite, a munch, a slurp, or a sip.

    On way to Disneyland and family was feeling like some pinoy food and this popped up. Located in a strip mall and had a good selection for combo plates. Went with the pork adobo, bistec, diniguan and pork bbq stick. Also had a side of chicken lumpia. The owner was very nice and helpful and place was filled with locals. All the food was good but I think I'd ask for pork lumpia next time if they have it. I didn't know I ordered chicken lumpia and I prefer the pork one much better. Would I come back? Yes I would. It took care of our pinoy cravings and gave me some energy for a long day at Disneyland.

    Lumpia (fried pork egg rolls 100pcs. half tray) and pancit (glass and egg noodles)
    Maria C.

    Originally located inside the now-defunct Orange Mall, this Filipino turo-turo (point and choose premade dishes) best functions for catering with prices that are reasonable considering the variety of choices on their menu. It's best to call ahead for catering at least two days in advance although they have a quick turn-around for last minute requests but be prepared to place your order over the phone with little wiggle room to change your mind and edit (reduce/swap) the order although they are more than happy to add to your order once made. The restaurant itself is clean but small with a handful of tables and is tucked in-between a plaza shared with ramen and Mediterranean choices with decent amount of parking. Lumpia Shanghai or small fried pork-stuffed egg rolls are always a hit at parties, and their pancit canton-bihon is packed with protein and veggies. Their bbq pork sticks are now $3.75 each as of Thanksgiving 2025.

    quick service options

    I'm so happy I found them! They're the same folks who use to be at the Orange mall. But since that place closed down, I wondered where they went! In my opinion, this location was way better for them so it worked out!!! It was my first time visiting this location but I've known about their yummy food and great service for over 10 years! Having their food again truly reminds me of being with family and having a home cooked meal. The place is in a great location with ample parking and lots of options. It's a quick service style (turo turo in Tagalog) so you just point to what you want. I can't wait to go back and try more items!

    Savory and Sour Beef Stew (Sinigang?) 2/5 - too sour for me
    Nhue G.

    This is a decent Filipino food place. It was hard to know what you're getting since the food was displayed without any labels. Kind of just got whatever looked interesting. * Grilled Pork BBQ 4/5 - Sweet and savory with a nice honey BBQ glaze. A little too sweet rather than savory. * Marinated Pork Belly? 4.5/5 - Not sure what this is actually called. Tasted like pork belly marinated in different spices. Tender with a good flavor. * Savory and Sour Beef Stew (Sinigang?) 2/5 - Generous amount of beef and onions, but very sour. * Turon (Banana Lumpia) 4/5 - Banana and Jackfruit lumpia deep fried and covered in a layer of brown sugar. The brown sugar layer was a bit bitter, maybe due to being overcooked. Regardless, this was a unique dish that I strangely enjoyed.

We came across Lola's by MFK on Yelp, and it ended up being exactly what we needed! As someone who grew up in the Philippines, I tend to be pretty picky when it comes to Filipino restaurants, as I often find myself disappointed with the food. My girlfriend, on the other hand, has been wanting to try Filipino breakfast for a long time, so we were both excited to give this place a shot. We started with the cold brew flight, featuring ube, Thai tea, pandan, and chocolate. Every flavor was delicious, and it was a fun way to try something a little different! My girlfriend ordered the breakfast bowl with longanisa, which she really enjoyed, while I went with the Iloko Moco. Honestly, it was probably one of the best loco mocos I've ever had. We also couldn't leave without trying the Ube French Toast, and it was SO good that we finished it in no time! Service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit, and the ambiance was just as enjoyable, with some really cool murals inside that added to the atmosphere. I'm glad we stumbled upon Lola's by MFK during our trip to Anaheim. It was a great way to end our Disneyland visit, and I'm happy we got the chance to experience it. Definitely a spot I'd recommend to anyone looking for a delicious Filipino-inspired breakfast!

The inside of the restaurant looks like it may have been recently updated ~ it's nicely arranged with a good amount of seating. Orders are placed at the counter and your food is brought to your table when it's ready. Since it was our first visit, the lady at the front was happy to answer our questions and make suggestions. Everything is freshly made to order, so be prepared for a short wait. Plates come with a cup of egg drop soup (which came up piping hot and was very flavorful) that is served to be enjoyed while you wait for your main dish. My foodie friend ordered a fish dish with the Java rice. I chose the beef rib plate and also went with the Java rice. Siopao was a new featured item and apparently they're known for their bibingka, so I added those as well because at this point, why not right? While my friend enjoyed her fish, she said it could have used more seasoning and she wished that she didn't have to pick out the bones. My beef ribs were SOOOO good!! And the Java rice had a really nice flavor that went perfectly with the ribs. Since we had so much food, we split the siopao (a steamed pork bun), and I can't even begin to describe the bibingka ~ it was rich and delicious, with a slightly sweet & creamy filling. I'd have to have another one to better describe its flavor more accurately. I'm so glad to have discovered Tony's! I can't wait to go back!!!

They were generous with the rice though. We ordered the crispy pata which seem to be the popular item for this place. It was super crispy with a light and crunchy skin which is a very hard process. It smelled delicious and can easily be cut into which is again, a difficult thing to do if done right. My only thing was that it looked big, but once it was cut it actually didn't have a lot of substance. The kare kare came in a big pot and the sauce was bountiful, but the protein (tendon, green beans, tripe) weren't a lot. Great presentation not a lot of substance.
