    Such a cute interior with plenty of tables and comfy aesthetic seats. The halo halo was so good! Clean restroom and fast service.

    Not sure what happened these few months, but it was noticeably unkempt when we got here. Dead plants, sticky tables, messes stuffed in a corner, AC not working and fans turned off on a hot day. Waiting for the drinks to come out was fairly uncomfortable. The drinks and desserts were still good and came out fast, just a little disappointed compared to when we first came here.

    Ube ice cream machine was broke. Good tho otherwise!

    Ordered original halo halo and the Pampanga halo halo. When we asked what it is since there's no description, the worker said " it's a dessert" lol so we ordered without knowing what it was and google said it's a simplified version of the halo halo were used to. Both were yummy! I was excited for the ube ice cream on top but their machine was broken so that was a bummer. Good overall tho and decent value for the price. Hubby liked their food as well, meat and rice plate. Owner Julie was great!!

    First time here and everything looks delicious. Gonna have to come back and try out more of their desserts... We had ice scramble in the Philippines and we got excited when we saw it on their menu! Let me just tell you... The ice scramble is pretty darn close to the ones in the Philippines. Both the mango graham and the ice scramble were delicious. If had to choose, the mango graham was just plain awesome. Totally coming back for those and to try out more flavors. The fries were ok. Pretty good but hit or miss with the crunchy outside. The powder was yummy. Didn't take a new pic of their main menu coz it's the same as the one from last month. The place is cute with native looking lamp decor and lots of fans for such a tiny place (which is awesome coz it keeps the place nice and cool). The chairs are plush and so comfy to sit on. Service was friendly and fast. Have to come back here again. Curious about their savory food. Oh something to note, they charge 3% for using credit card.

    Our first visit was a fun and surprising one! It was fun because when is dessert NOT fun?? We got their signature halo halo and mango sago... dessert... drink (idk, it was served in the typical boba cup but we could've eaten it as opposed to drink it). Tip for the halo halo: grab a plastic water cup from the counter and scoop the ube soft serve into it. It's a lot easier to eat that way. Oh, and a small size is more than enough for two people to share! It was surprising because we got to meet Julie, whom I assume is the matriarch of what I assume is the family run business. It was even more surprising to learn her family and mine were practically neighbors growing up in the 626, with her children going to the same high school as me, a few years before I did. So after moving to the OC and more than missing "home", it was nice finding a place with people who shared the same roots as mine. Yea, yea, the SGV isn't THAT far away, but it's far enough away. Anyways, Julie and staff welcomed us in and answered our questions. They even went a step further when at first they were out of the mango blend for the mango sago, but Julie insisted they can and would make a new batch for us. This is now officially our home for desserts. I'm a sucker for good halo halo. Thanks again for welcoming us in and we'll see you soon! Yelp Adventures 2026 - 3 of ??

    Pineapple fried rice
    Perlie P.

    Craving pancit and decided to give this place a try. I ordered the walnut shrimp, pancit, pineapple fried rice and eggplant tofu. I was pleasantly surprised about the portion sizes, it's kind of family style. The flavor was everything we tried was fresh and fantastic! Walnut shrimp was tender and not over cooked, eggplant was perfectly cooked, fried rice was flavorful and not too oily and pancit was delicious!! Service was good, ordered at the screen and sat down to wait for my food. Food took a little bit to come out, maybe 15-20 minutes but was totally worth the wait. Will be back to try more food, drinks and halo-halo!

    Our second visit here to bring my cousin for her to try the delicious halo halo. This time No soft serve ice cream. Regular vanilla with caramel sauce. Hoping next yime they have Ube Ice Cream.

    Mother's Day lunch at Halo Haus Buena Park with almost a 2-hour wait for the food. I was excited to check this spot out and going here for lunch with my mom for Mother's Day marked the perfect occasion. I drove all the way from the South Bay to go visit. We arrived around 11:15 a.m., 15 minutes after opening, and there were only 3 other orders ahead of us. All ordering is done through their kiosk. I noticed a sign that said all credit card transactions have a 3% fee. There was also another sign that they accept cash but only $20 bills. I asked to pay in cash to avoid the 3% fee but the employee there said they had just opened and so the register wasn't ready yet. Luckily, I had my debit card via Apple Pay and ended up using that instead. We chose to order the Miki Bihon ($17.95), Crispy Pata ($17.95) , Chop Suey with Chicken ($16.95) and a small scoop of rice ($1.75). I had originally planned to get the Wonton Soup but that was no longer on the menu. Similarly, many other dishes, including all their beef dishes were also unavailable. Our order was placed at 11:24 a.m., and was surprised that we didn't receive our food till about 12:15pm. I noticed there were other tables getting a bit impatient while waiting for their orders as well, but since it was Mother's Day, I figured that that items like Crispy Pata would naturally take longer. At first, I wasn't too frustrated with the 45 minute wait. When our orders came out, I was pleasantly surprised with the large portions of the Miki Bihon and Chop Suey. Tastewise, the Miki Bihon was flavorful, comforting and satisfying. The combination of soft egg noodles and thin rice noodles gave the dish a nice texture. The Chop Suey had a good mix of vegetables, but overall it lacked flavor and tasted a bit bland. It had a decent texture but the seasoning just wasn't there. The Crispy Pata was one of the dishes we came for and were looking forward to having this Mother's Day. It had a nice crisp on the outside, but unfortunately it seemed overcooked, and some parts were tough. Since we experience a bit of a wait for the savory items, my mom advised me to place our dessert order early. I ordered a small Supreme Halo Halo ($6.95). I had originally been eyeing the Mango Graham Halo Halo but similar to how many of the savory dishes were unavailable, this item was also not available. They also only had vanilla ice cream and no ube, unlike what is shown in their menu photos. My order went in at 12:29 p.m., and considering it was just a small halo halo, I did not expect a long wait. I was a bit shocked when it was 1:15 p.m. and my halo halo had not come out yet. I went up to the employee at the counter to inquire about it. She asked for my order number and name, then handed me a receipt. After that, I watched her go into the kitchen and only then started making the halo halo. When she finished and handed me the order, I asked why it took so long, and she mentioned something about how the receipt possibly not coming out of the system. I found this strange and honestly a bit frustrating. If I had not followed up, we likely would have continued to wait for a halo halo that would never have been made due to "receipt not coming through." She even asked if I had taken the receipt, which did not make sense. After the initial 45 minute wait for the savory dishes, another 45 minute wait for dessert felt a bit excessive. Overall, it was a good lunch, but that wait tested us. It was worth it for time with my mom though. I would best describe the visit here as "the good, the bad and the ugly." The good is the portion sizes and the pricing. The bad is that many menu items are not available. The ugly is the wait time. Waiting nearly 2 hours for all the food (45 minutes for the savory dishes and another 45 minutes for the halo halo) is simply too long. The biggest improvement would be their service and wait times.

    Tried the mango graham and maiz con yelo and it was so yummy! It smelled so good in there I am excited to come back and try more food and dessert :)

    House fried rice and lumpias
    Junice H.

    My husband and I tried their house fried rice and lumpia - both were sooo good! We asked the waitress what was a recommended dish and she said their mikibihon was popular. Forgot to take a picture of it but we ordered it with chicken (instead of pork) and it was also amazing! Thanks for the great rec! Great portions and everything came out fresh. We'll be back to try the desserts as we were too full by the end of our meal haha!

    Went to Halo Haus to try their desserts as the weather's getting warmer. Ordered the mango graham. It was delicious and refreshing, with just the right amount of sweetness. The mango, graham, and ice cream go really well together. The flavored fries were also great. The place is clean and spacious, the staff is welcoming, and there's plenty of parking. I'd come back again!

    Salt and pepper fish
    Maya N.

    I went to the grand opening and it was very busy but the service was great. The owners were so kind to share Chinese donut samples and milk tea. We shared a table with sweet kababayan. The atmosphere was very welcoming and happy. Our order: tokwa't baboy, tocilog, salt and pepper fish and halo halo. Each dish was delicious. The vinegar in the tokwa't baboy perfectly balanced the juicy pork and yummy tofu. Easily a favorite. The salt and pepper fish had a little spice and good portions of fish. The tocilog came with two eggs - salamat! The halo halo balance was better than I make at home, and the small size was a generous portion. Thank you Halo Haus! We will definitely be back for more!

We decided to give it a try on our first night. Everything from the staff friendliness to the ambiance to the taste of the food was exceptional! The specialty drinks were delicious, and the happy hour prices were more than reasonable. Everything was so good that we went back for a second happy hour in a row. The second visit was just as enjoyable, so much that we decided to visit on Sunday to check out their all you can eat brunch. The selections were amazing with a few exceptions. Some standouts were the ube pancakes, matcha French toast, Toro tartare toast, and garlic scallop fried rice. Some items on the menu left more to the imagination such as the spicy tuna crispy rice, which had no distinct flavor, and the fried oysters. Outside of those selections, the brunch options were amazing and worth the cost. Shout out to Ryan and Koda for the hospitality, and the bartenders that served us during happy hour.

    After last night I was ready to just write this place off and move on. Then I checked my bank…read morestatement today and saw that my tip had been increased by $10 after the fact. That is where this crosses from bad service into outright shady behavior. We came in as a group for dinner and the experience was mediocre at best. The restaurant was so dark we had to ask for additional lamps, which didn't even stay on. The service button at the table didn't work, so we repeatedly had to flag down the two servers. Water refills were forgotten. Basic attentiveness was missing. Nothing about the service justified anything beyond "okay." Our server eventually replenished our onions and broth, and perhaps that single "heroic" act went to her head- because after we paid and were already heading to our car, she ran out after our group. Our server, ASHLEY ran out to the parking lot to tell me my total was incorrect. I had accidentally written $170 instead of $178 due to a minor handwriting error. Understandable- so I corrected it immediately. That should have been the end of it. But it wasn't. She then had the audacity to question why her tip was "only 7%." I told her the service was just okay and we left. No argument, no scene- but it was already inappropriate and unprofessional to confront customers about their tip in the first place. What's completely unacceptable is what happened next. The finalized charge posted as $188- not the corrected $178. That means she added an extra $10 to my tip without my consent. Let's be clear: that is not a "mistake," that is altering a signed receipt and helping yourself to someone else's money. For context, my intended tip was $14.95- about 10% of the subtotal. More than fair for the level of service we received. Tips are optional, not owed and certainly not something a server gets to revise after the fact because they feel entitled to more. This was downright tacky, dishonest, and a complete breach of trust. I have already filed a dispute with my bank as I have a picture of what I signed before leaving the restaurant and I strongly recommend others check their receipts carefully and document it before leaving as well. But if you are smart, you would avoid an establishment that employs such an abhorrent server with no integrity or shame. Do better.
