    Eric F.

    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)

    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.

There were also a number of drinks to choose from -- ranging between fun lattes and classic juices. I got the beef tapa and it was really juicy! Sometimes tapa can come with a little bite to it, but this one was really yummy. The restaurant itself if super homey. Not too many tables, so make sure to get on the waitlist early if you come for breakfast! Keep in mind they have a strict 5 minute arrival policy for your party. Luckily, they were able to seat us about 15 minutes after.

    Been to Lola's by MFK a few times now and each time has been solid and delicious…read more Lola's is a Filipino fusion brunch spot located in Anaheim. The parking lot isn't usually too bad in that you can find something as there is an abandoned restaurant near the side. Best to try to give yourself at least a 15 minute buffer though when you go as the place tends to get busy on the weekends at least. Once there, there are usually both smaller and bigger tables in a cozy environment. The menu itself has a mixture of items as well as some juice/coffee drinks as well as some alcohol. Here's what we got overall: *Bang-silog: The fried fish is a surprisingly good option and pretty big. Able to easily feed two and comes with a few side items like rice and a fried egg. *Pandan cold brew: Oddly really good. I was afraid it was going to be overly sweet but ended up being a perfect balance of the pandan and the cold brew flavor. *Silog Breakfast Bowls with Longanisa: Lots of different options to choose from here for your protein. This is a great overall bowl packed meal that includes garlic rice, egg, tomato salad, and the meat you chose. You also get a few sauces to enjoy with your meal like ketchup and soy sauce. The service is really friendly and able to answer all of our questions. And the meal itself took around 15-20 minutes to come out. Overall, it's a solid brunch spot that was great to go to nearby. Would recommend!

However, taste still matters most--some of the dishes were really good, while others could use a bit more flavor, especially seasoning.

    * Who: partner & I * What: random late lunch…read more* When: Saturday a little past noon * Why: hungry after apartment touring * Space/Decor: in a small plaza that had plenty of parking when we arrived. Average space in the sense it's rectangular & like any mom/pop hole in the wall. You step in, tables to your right going all the way back, & left front side has cash register, sweets display, & water dispenser while the rest of the left was the kitchen. Menu was straightforward but could benefit from having a description in case you're not familiar (like my BF). * Service: the reason I'm docking by 1 star. The lady was nice, but not very attentive, & it wasn't like it was busy. We needed to ask or follow up on 2-3 things. My BF was eyeing some dessert when we were first ordering but she didn't try to sell it to us ‍ * Food: surprisingly good as it was both our first time there. He got the adobo bowl & the chicken was tender/juicy & pretty much fell off the bone. I got the tocino plate & the meat was flavorful with just the right amount of garlic in the rice. We also got one chicken skewer & one pork skewer, which was a bit smaller than I'm used to but the smoky flavor & tenderness was spot on. My only issue was the portion compared to the price. * Final Thoughts: mom/pop Filipino food that is great on flavor but leaves something to be desired with customer service. Would recommend & will return again for the food. * Final Grade: B+ or 8.5/10

Crispy Pata - was perfect! The meat and the skin were soft and crispy, and NOT salty. Highly recommended. Lumpiang Shanghai - very good too.
