I had the La'ing (dried taro leaves in coconut milk) and it was delicious. I believe they said it did not have shrimp paste in it making it a vegan option. I'm the farthest thing from a vegan but it was tasty. I ordered medium heat and it had a good kick to it without tasting like fire. (They also have a mushroom adobo vegan dish that looked awesome but I wasn't able to try it.) The next time I go I want to get the lechon kawali (crispy pork belly) because it looked so good. They have 2 dessert options at the moment, ube (purple yam) upside down pie or pandan (tropical herb) upside down pie. I wanted to try them but they didn't have any at the moment, possibly because I came close to closing time. Situated in Historic Filipino Town, they have a sign outside that is easily seen while driving. I found it easily enough and there was plenty of street parking on a weekday afternoon. The interior is clean and bright with a dope mural of subtle quirky icons pertaining to the Filipino culture. (It was fun spotting the various items.) They also have this huge boom box topped with succulents that I loved! Can't wait to come back to try the other items and support this small business! read more

HiFi Kitchen - Decor, table - Filipino Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I originally was looking for another Filipino restaurant, which I think unfortunately might have closed due to COVID-19. I saw HiFi Kitchen on UberEats, and they were highly rated on the app. I ordered the Chicken Adobo, Pork Lumpia and the Talib Kawali Pork Belly, and man oh man - it was so delicious! It's some of the best takeout Filipino I've ever had. I wanted to specifically call out the freshness of the ingredients. The food quality was discernible, and you can tell they take a lot of pride in the preparation. It tasted very fresh, and I didn't feel like I was eating overly greasy Filipino food, which tends to happen a lot with Filipino restaurants. The portion size was also great. HiFi Kitchen is now at the top of my list for go-to Filipino food! read more

Ok I live down the street and it's dangerously good. I only have had 1 not-so-great experience out of the million times I ordered. I didn't get to complain cause I did takeout and realized my food was off at home, the sauce thingi was missing from my la-ing...I am usually scraping for more of it but it was bland that day n I didn't want to walk back n wait again.... hopefully it was a 1x mistake cause I def want it again. read more

I heard about this spot online through a photographer I follow on IG. I had planned to check it out and finally did! I thought it was really great overall. First, my phone had a bad connection because you have to order online, but the worker was cool enough to let me order over the phone. Second, the indoor set-up is really dope with the retro like wallpaper, basketball plant holder, little sneaker mats and old school hip-hop/sports memorabilia. Lastly, the food was awesome! I only tried a few things like the chicken/tocino tacos and the ube dessert in which the worker hooked it up. The way the food was cooked and prepared was well done. I definitely have to return and try out their other foods another time. Plus, it's across from Unidad Park where you can eat your food on a nice sunny day. Salamat Po! read more

Super Pricy their noodle sucks!! $15 for a small plate not even enough for a kid. Noodles are spaghetti noodles with soy sauce will make u puke. Very poor service read more

HiFi Kitchen has a fun, unique, and colorful environment. The food is fast casual and brings all the flavors of Filipino food I loved as a child. The employees are super nice when my friends and I dined in. It's located really close to the Historic Filipino Sign, so it's easy and enjoyable to go on with your day after a nice meal. read more

I wish I could post what I ate but inhaled it before I could! I got one of each taco and they were delicious! I loved the Filipino fusion! My husband got the tapa bowl, my mom got aroz caldo (and if a Filipino mom says it's good you know it's good!), son got popcorn chicken, and my daughters shared a Filipino spaghetti. I loved the vibe, the merch, and the service! Everyone there was so accommodating and nice. We had 12 in our party. We first sat outside but they moved the tables and chairs so we could all fit inside. The parking was conveniently located right next door (just make sure to leave before 4pm on weekdays). This was our first time in P-town and HiFi was conveniently located right across from the historic mural and a couple blocks away from the arch. We'll definitely be back and support this Filipino owned business next time we visit that area! read more

This is the best food I've had in YEARSSSS! Wow I had to stop mid-meal to write a review, it's that good. I'm vegan and getting very sick of the same basic vegan food. I am BLOWN AWAY at the flavors and how incredible this meal is. 10/10. Cannot wait to try more! read more

I could eat HiFi everyday. I felt the portion sizes per dish, were more lunch than dinner... so if you plan only one dish per person or plan to order family style, keep that in mind. The freshness and flavors are amazingly delicious. I opted for vegan options and I was not disappointed. Flavorful, filling and different from everywhere else. Very unique chef-inspired influence that you can taste in each dish. Very friendly and professional staff. Followed safety protocol during the pandemic. I definitely recommend trying this spot, even if you've never had Filipino food before. Entry/pickup is on Beverly Blvd (despite what maps tries to tell you.) Park in the small (free) parking lot, just before HiFi next to Tropico de nopal Art-Gallery. read more

I have to give this place a triple 5 star rating. First I randomly founded this spot while I was driving around in dtla and looked at yelp for fusion. The people who works here are super sweet including the owner. I actually left my credit card here before I went out of town for the holidays and I had a feeling I left it here and maybe about a month later or even two, I called them and they held it for me. Thank god! So thanks guys! Anyway the food is really great! The adobo seasoning is fantastic. Also the Filipino spaghetti takeout I got my daughter absolutely loved. I also tried their red ube upside down and ube halo halo. I like them both. I've been here twice and I wish there was one closer to us. Anyway... I hope you guys are doing well and hopefully open for business during this covid 19! Sending much love and blessings and when it's over I can't wait to return and show love! read more

I love this place. They have a fresh and tasty food. They always deliver order's on time.

Wanted to try a new lunch spot so I ordered from HiFi through the TryCaviar app. I was excited to try HiFi because they have a variety of vegetarian options (very rare for a a Filipino restaurant!). We basically tried everything that was vegetarian - the Mushroom Adobo, La'ing with cauliflower, and the Vegetable Kaldereta. While the food was delicious and very flavorful, we felt the portions were a bit small. We split 3 bowls between 3 people and when we were done we felt like we could still eat. If the portions were bigger it would have been perfect! read more

The best lechon I've had in a while. Really high quality ingredients that you can taste! We loved the vibe of the place too. Really awesome decor! But even more awesome people. Staff was very friendly and welcoming! A really refreshing dose of culture and heritage, especially since I live in Sacramento; where there is.l nothing like this around. HiFi is now a must stop every time I'm nearby. read more

We just came from this restaurant to get lunch today and im soo sorry to disssapoint you all who haven't tried this place but everything we ordered..LECHON, CHICKEN ADOBO and MUSHROOM ADOBO were all not worth the price!! $14 for 8 thin slices of lechon that was mostly fat, $9.50 of shredded chicken adobo meat which didn't taste anything like the authentic yummy filipino adobo that we all know! And $12 mushroom adobo that i cant even describe the taste( well, not good). Im soo sorry but we would rather eat at Manila Sunset for a $6.95 2 item combo that's sooo delicious and the portion is well worth it!! The only good thing about this place was that it was walking distance from our office and the lady cashier was nice. That's all!! I know you guys just opened a few months ago but no way we're ever going back! Bahay Kubo, Dollar Hits and Manila Sunset are way better choices for better taste and price. We're stilll very very hun read more

I happen to be lucky that a fellow nurse friend donated food to children's hospital Los Angeles. I have never had Filipino food before. I had the best chicken I ever tasted from Hi Fi Kitchen. I had the adobe chicken with rice and pickled cucumber. I tell you no lie. It was great.. I recommend his place. Will definitely order from here again. read more

HiFi Kitchen - Chicken adobe - Filipino Near Me - Los Angeles, California

In short: This place is amazing for making vegetarian Filipino food that tastes great!!! It is kinda rare seeing the usual Filipino meat dishes transformed into vegan/vegetarian awesomeness, and I'm happy to say that this place is the next best thing after my mom's veganized/vegeterianized Filipino food. However, they have meat dishes here for meat lovers to enjoy, according to their online menu. Here are the details: I was sick a few weeks ago so my awesome sister decided to try this place out and buy me food. She got me the Vegan Kalderata, and it was soo yummy. I like this dish for its stewy goodness and very flavorful stewy tasting sauce. But, next time I try this dish, I'd ask for more Kaldereta sauce because I felt there was not enough in the first place. Moreover, the veggies were yummy and cooked just right, and same for the steamed rice that came with it. What I'd like to see at this place, however, are options for vegetarian/vegan mock meats (if I browsed their website correctly, it looks like they do not have any fake meats). What I suggest for this restaurant is buying mock meats from vinhloitofu.com as this place has one of the best tasting and most realistic looking fake meats I've ever had--and they're just in Reseda. Another option I'd like to recommend is the Field Roast brand which is often found at Whole Foods. I think searing one of their pot roast meats and then dropping it into the Kaldereta would taste great. Just my opinion though. On a different note, next time, I'd definitely like to try their other dishes, and especially their vegan desserts! read more

This place was dope! Just popped in for a quick bite, not knowing what I was getting myself into, but it was bomb. I'm a big fan of the 90s hip-hop motif. tribe called quest playing on repeat; turn tables; and vintage VHS decor. A few barstools on a single bar top-- the definition of fast casual. I got the lechon kawali. -- crispy pork belly on rice with an egg. I don't eat Filipino food that often, but this joint was great. Clean flavors. Filling. Pork belly cooked to perfection. And I'm a huge fan of supporting local small businesses. Definitely coming back. read more

Good new Filipino spot in LA (Filipino town area). The chicken adobo and Lechon kawali are bomb with a hipster twist in it. Also try the Ube creme Pie! The spot is harder to find but the name of the place makes up for it. Highly recommended. read more

The food is actually not bad, presentation is ok, but the portions are way to small for me. The taste is pretty good and the ingredients are fresh but for the price the portions are small. Maybe it's the new trend of these cool restaurants. Anyhow not sure if I would dine here again.. read more

I've never had a full on Filipino meal until visiting this place and I'm not mad about it! I first decided to give their lechon a shot, because nobody can go wrong with a) pork belly and b) fried food. The meat was salty albeit very tender and had the perfect meat to fat ratio. I loved the sautéed veggies that came with it and wished it came with more. Second visit, I had their sweet spaghetti with medium spice. I was under the impression that they'd add some sauce or paste for spice, but nope, it was my favorite cut up fresh chilis and it was SO. GOOD. AND ACTUALLY. SPICY. I'm in love! I'd drive through DTLA for this place any day. read more

Ordered the chicken adobo, talib kawali, la'ing with crispy chicken, veggie sisig, and lumpia. All the dishes were cooked really well and the lechon kawali was so delicious and crispy! I don't get to eat la'ing often (coconut milk with taro leaves) and it was really good. We ate the food so fast that we didn't have time to take photos of it. Looking forward to coming back here again! read more

So happy to have found a Filipino restaurant that offers vegetarian/vegan options! I loved all of the dishes, but my favorite was the mushroom adobo. Also everyone was very sweet. Highly recommend coming here! read more

HiFi Kitchen - Top: Mushroom Adobo, Left: Vegetable Kaldereta, Right: La'ing - Filipino Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This spot was recommended by a coworker of mine for a work luncheon and I have to say, excellent service, tasty and delicious food, and everything was packed in its own separate serving per person (a must these days). We placed a large order for chicken adobo and lumpia. Everyone praised the Filipino food and for some, it was their first taste of the cuisine. For the Filipino's in the office, we were all overjoyed by the tasty representation that HiFi kitchen brought. It was great and will definitely use them again. I can't talk enough about this place. I want to try everything on the menu. Thanks again HiFi kitchen. See you soon!!! read more

Filipino, fast casual dining. I got the chicken afritada with an egg ($13). I usually don't like olives, but it works well with this dish! You have the option to make it a "mix tape" which is their term for making it a combo. The vibe of the place matches the name. The register sits on a turntable. There's a boom box plant holder. It's pretty neat. The restaurant is small, only barstool seating that seats about ~6. the location is easy to miss. The front is tiny. But look for boba guys, this place is on the other side of the street. Will definitely come by or get delivery to try the rest of the menu. I know it's 2019, and I hope this doesn't sound creepy, but the cashier was the most beautiful human being I have ever seen. ~~~disclaimer this was not factored into my review~~~ read more

I had food from here served at a party next door - everything was excellent ! I love the vegetable fritter

My wife and I had spent days looking for a Filipino caterer who would be able to provide non-vegan and vegan options that wasn't just salad for our baby shower. We had a great conversation with the owner who provided many different options and helped up make a spread that eventually would be popular with our guests in attendance. We had the vegan puto, vegan lumpia, vegan la'ing, vegan pansit, rice, bbq sticks and lechon. Everything tasted great and we had leftovers for days! I cannot say enough good things about the high quality of communication we had with the restaurant and the high quality food we received. read more

If you're reading this, its not too late to get a bomb ass bowl of Filipino Food. The laing + lechon kawali is a must get. The chicken adobo bowl is one of the best in town too! Make it a mixtape (aka combo) and get that lumpia and drink combo! read more

Oh my gosh this place is such a gem and I'm so surprised more people aren't lining up for this. The food is amazing. every single dish hit. I tried the chicken adobo bowl, lumpia, la'ing potato taco, and Tocino taco, ube upside down pie, and one of their aqua fresca. Each element of all the dishes felt so intentional and there is so much attention to detail with all the flavors. The service is also amazing, the staff were all so kind and welcoming and gave great recommendations for stuff we should try. 10000/10 I will definitely be coming back regularly. read more

Service was amazing, but beyond that the FOOD omggggg. Tried the Chicken Adobo, two of the tacos, an Ube upside down pie, the Flip Fantasia (Cantaloupe juice) and the Lumpia. Definitely a go to spot from now on. Everything was so flavorful and amazing. Can't wait to come back. Thank you HiFi Kitchen! read more

Honestly kinda disappointed. Pictured is the "cucumber tomato salad" alongside the chicken adobo. Adobo was good, but portion was so small. Literally 3 little nuggets. Ngl decent adobo doesn't make up for a "salad" made up of literally two thin slices of cucumber and a single cherry tomato cut in half. I just expect more for the prices. Don't be cheap and shitty if you're going to charge $13+ I'm willing to try again if the servings get better. Maybe I went on an off day. Doesn't excuse the shit service. read more

Awesome Filipino food, go here almost every week. Staff are super cool and friendly and the vibe is

Still in shock on how bomb it was, I ordered veggie lumpia, la'ing and vegan veggie sisig. Everything was beyond delicious, it's been so difficult to find a decent vegan Filipino spot for me, it's almost impossible because Filipino dishes are so difficult to convert as vegan but this place totally blew me away. The lumpia was fresh out of the oil, had the right veggies inside with the bihon noodles with thee perfect sukang sawsawan (vinegar dip). The la'ing (customized spicy) was amazing, the sauce was so creamy and delicious with a bit of chili oil on top. The vegan sisig was good too, perfect spices, bits of cauliflower, lemon juice squeezed over and topped with vegan mayo, bomb. They also gave us a free vegan dessert, maja blanca, it was incredible. They definitely deserve all the vegan filipino customers here, no joke. So hard to choose my favorite dish. Love love love this place, dope customer service and bomb grub, for sure coming back. read more
