Came here for brunch since my boo was craving Filipino and it was close to home.. bf wanted to try their kare kare.. At most it was decent and mainly he got was bones, barely any meat! He doused the kare kare to enhanced the flavor with shrimp paste cause it was bland.. for me he ordered the longanisa and the skewer for me.. let me start to say the only real meat I had was the longanisa, which I got 3! As for the skewer I only got 1! On top of that half is meat and half fat!! So technically you only get half of a skewer with meat! So disappointing! Mira Mesa has way better Filipino food. That's my opinion. read more

K & K Orient Valley - Interior - Filipino Near Me - Escondido, California

After a long morning of Community sale garage sales my friend and I were very hungry. Sometimes when we get together we like to find a place that serves fried talapia. We did just that today! We looked at everything that was available and of course chose talapia as the main with vinegar. I had care care (sp?) It's a pork with a peanut butter sauce. Half pandit and half rice. It was good. Everything was cold by the time we got to eat. The talapia wasn't very crispy. I give this a 3.5. Still tasty. read more

K & K ORIENT VALLEY, ESCONDIDO. I had no idea this place existed until my elderly neighbor asked me to take her to pick up some lumpia. I got some, too, and my kids mowed it down! They loved the texture, flavor, and freshness. They also enjoyed the mango nectar juice pouches from the cooler. The little red pork sausages were ok. Next time I want to try some of their other dishes. I may also pick up some of their dry lentils, packaged desserts, and imported beverages. My neighbor also got some homemade sweet rice wrapped in some kind of green leaf. Looked very exotic. Located in shopping center where there is a fresh water store, Kotija taco shop, and other popular stores with plenty of parking close by. Prices are great and we will be back! read more

I've been coming here since I was little. Service is welcoming and store has a mom and pop shop vibe. Great place to get Filipino Food from Lumpia, Chicken Adobo, Pancit, Halo Halo, & also while you're there you can grab some items at their mini mart. read more

Simply the best pork lumpia money can buy. Delicious flavor and prompt professional order and pick up process. Recommend Highly.

I was happy to know we had Filipino restaurant here in Escondido but unfortunately, there turon was just a wrap & only little piece of saba. You are not giving justice to our Filipino turon! There's no taste too as in no sugar at all! Not gonna buy turon there anymore! read more

They have the best lumpia and turon! We always order from this store and appreciate it's convenient location.

Ordered some Shanghai Lumpia's and they turned out great. Took them to a party and they disappeared really quick. Thank you!

Food didn't have flavor & was oily. My son didn't even get to eat his food, was too much grease by the time he got to work in Carlsbad. Service was not inviting, either. Never again. Waist of time & money. read more

Came in for lunch, it was delicious,pork and beef it was delicious , I'm an eat and swallow person it was delicious I will be back soon

Was recommend this spot from a coworker who always brought in mounds of delicious lumpia! I happen to be in the area getting my car serviced and decided to stop on by! It's a small place, very "Mom and Pop", full of fun things to try. My favorite Filipino dish is pancit and they just happened to bring out a fresh batch! Soooooo good! They're a little side area market has some interesting snacks too! Prices are decent and portions are nice. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the general area! read more

Come in for a quick bite. Tasty Filipino food and a cute little market. The service is quick and friendly always met with a smile. Absolutely love read more

Food is always great! I order from here for work potlucks. It is my go too! The service is top notch and friendly!

I think this may be the only Filipino place in Esco. I'm so glad I found them. I ordered a tray of palabok half order SAME DAY! They were able to fulfill my order when other viet restaurants would not. When I arrived I was amazed at the sisig, diniguan and Filipino spaghetti they had out. They have so much to offer and I can't wait to try more. The sisig was one of the bests I've had. read more

I met up with my cousin for lunch. She's full Filipina and notes it is better than other places she has gone. She was right! I had the two entree plate with half steamed rice, and half Singapore style (thin rice noodle) noodles--I chose Tilapia (full fish) upcharge only a dollar--and the soup with chicken and upo plus egg. This food brought me back to my grandma's kitchen--eating with my hands, removing the tinick and talking with my cousin. Oh, I couldn't resist getting a small cup of the dessert soup, ginataang. Those starch balls are amazing. Not as much jack fruit as my Inang but sweet potato and coconut--Mmm. read more

Came here on a Saturday morning. Restaurant is located in a strip mall so there's a lot of parking. Although they open early, I would suggest to get here after 10:30am so there's more selections. Food: 2 Item Combo Pork Sinigang Chicharon Pancit Tocino and longanisa with rice BBQ stick The chicharon was the highlight for me. The pork sinigang tasted good but the meat was hmmm tough and maybe previously frozen hard, cooked, then chilled again. But, again the soup was delicious. The tocino was also delicious however the longanisa to me is a hot dog. I had ask again what that meat was and they said longanisa. Had to also ask what dialect or where in the Philippines is the style of cooking is from and one of the workers said Ilocano. So, I'm Ilocano and the Ilocano longenisa I know is with vinegar flavor and not like a hot dog. Oh well. The suman was equally as good too. Service was great and there's a little market for some Asian items. I will definitely return to try the other dishes. read more

Value, value value! Well Harrah's casino has nothing around it, so we had to find a place to grab a bit. We landed at K&K Orient. $45 fed me and my fam of 5 and we have a ton of left overs for the day. Just Wow! read more

I love this place. This is one of the few places that serves sisig everyday, and their sisig is legit. All the food here is delicious. This place is as authentic as it gets in my opinion. Tastes like someone's grandma is in the back cooking. Super tasty. All the ladies up front are super nice too. So glad I found this place. read more

Great food choices, really flexible with catering. It is hard to locate, and parking isn't the best; but their food tastes good and they're the only Filipino place in Escondido and I like that I don't have to drive all the way south just to satisfy my Filipino food cravings, especially if I don't want to cook. read more

Escondido's only Filipino Restaurant! This place is a combination cafeteria and dry goods market. There are no frills to this place and it's no Goldilocks. Just like a cafeteria, you move through the line and select the items you'd like to enjoy. Try the fried fish! For beginners: Everyone I've ever met tends to love these three Filipino dishes Pancit, Sisig, and Lumpia. Everything here is pretty good though. The dry goods market appear to be whatever they can get. There are a lot of snacks and dried noodles. There is also a mix of canned goods too. They have a small sitting area with a TV that is on TFC 24/7. If you'd like to eat the things you've purchased, there are a few tables to sit at. . read more

Amazing food and atmosphere. Food was fresh and service was excellent especially for how busy the place was

This place is kind of hidden, something that always excites and makes me scared lol. Got a mixed bag this time. The pancit / noodles have definitely seen better days, soggy and nothing to be compared to homemade pancit. However, still tasted ok. The chicken here was incredible. It was drenched in it's own juices and I'd be lying if I hadn't tasted chicken that juicy anywhere in Escondido, at least for the longest time. I don't like ordering chicken when eating out but this was delish! This place has my continued interest, hopefully with more of the really good stuff! I want this place to earn those 4 stars all the way! read more

AWESOME LUMPIA!! I want to come back with my wife for a full meal. We got the lumpia for a work party and they flew outta the pan, 100 was not enough! read more

Don't say you're open at 9 am and only have dry garlic rice and dry chicken adobo and 3 other items. And nothing else until after 11 am for the food bar to finally be ready. This was my first time going and it will be my last. I will drive the extra 30 mins to San Marcos to seafood city and get food from them at least when they open they have all their items ready to serve and sell. If I could give 1/2 a star I would but I guess you're lucky to get one star. read more

Good, affordable, decent portion size, home cooking style Filipino food. It's a pick and choose, type of fast food restaurant. You walk down the line and hope that the food that you have been craving for is there. Nothing is labeled so don't be shy about asking what is inside each item. My go-to items are the pancit, kare-kare, sig-sig, and sinigang. There is a store attached to K & K orient that sells snacks, pandesal, ingredients, and Filipino frozen items. There are several tables inside to enjoy your meal. Service isn't always the best. It shares a parking lot with other several businesses. Whenever we are in Escondido we make it a point to stop at this place to satisfy our Filipino craving. Yelp 2020: 3/30 read more

Found this place on a whim because I was in the area. The lady behind the counter was kind and patient with us since we were so indecisive due to a good selection of tasty food to choose from . We ordered two - 2 item combos Combo #1 Dinuguan - deep flavor with the right amount of vinegar Binagoongan baboy - deep savory bagoong taste infused in the tender meat. Not overly salty Combo #2 Pork machado - perfectly seasoned and the meat was juicy without being overly fatty. Sisisg - crispy pork sautéed with jalapeños and onions. But I have to say the onion to pork ratio is off, too much onion. Sides: Ukoy - good size (5" diameter) packed with a lot of flavor. I ended up skipping the vinegar dip, I felt it was better without it. Lechon - you can never go wrong with fried pork. Overall, very pleased with the food and the service. Will definitely be back! read more

It was my first time here and everything was delicious. We don't have much of this to go mom/pop Filipino food to go place in Escondido. I was very impressed with the big selection of food. The portion sizes was huge! They pile up on your orders of food and the price is decent as well. I got their pork sisig 10/10 Cripsy pork and lots of onions which I love. Next is the pork menudo 7/10, it was good just a little oily. Lastly their chicken and pork skewers were delicious 10/10, juicy and tender perfectly grilled. I highly recommend this place if you are craving for some Filipino food in the area. read more

Great spot for ordering lumpia! I called ahead by a day and ordered 100, they were hot and ready when I got there. So delicious and the sauce that comes with it is the best! read more

Had one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. We came in at 4:23 pm and the first thing the lady told me was that they close at 5 so we need to hurry and pick our food(which is already cooked and ready to order like Panda Express). Not a problem it took us 2 min to look at the food and choose. I am not Filipino so I have no idea what some of food items are so when I asked they told me the Filipino name of the dish but no explanation on what it contains. I ended up ordering 2 pork dishes because I didn't know what meats were in them, they did not explain. I wanted to get more of a variety... When we checked out the lady ubrubtly took our payment and then walked away leaving our food about 3 feet behind the plastic curtain that they have up at the register. I have average length arms but I had to disgustingly push myself up against this grungy screen that was cloudy from who knows what to reach our bag of food. Would've been nice to at least slide it closer to us or hand us our bag... The whole experience was rushed because the store owners wanted to go home. read more

Filipino food in Escondido This syle of food is still unique in San Diego & doesn't have that many locations. This location does a good job of representing traditional Filipino food. I absolutely chicken Adobo. The chicken has been stewed in a sauce that is extremely flavorful & the chicken literally falls off the bone. Pan set is Filipino style noodles and its good here! Lumpia & fried bananas are both 5 for $2 and I love them. The place itself has a bit of a all you can eat chinese vibe that also has a tiny Asian store inside. There is only a few places in San Diego that serve this type of food so when I'm in the area I'll be back. Try it out if you haven't had Filipino before, just don't expect much in the ambiance department. Happy eating!! read more

K & K Orient Valley - So much goodness!! - Filipino Near Me - Escondido, California

I don't have much experience with Filipino food with this being the only place I've tried outside of homemade meals, but it didn't disappoint. Everything was good with good service. I'd have to be in the mood for it to go back but definitely would come again read more

I was so excited to find out we had a filipino restaurant here in Escondido so I went today to try it out. Very disappointed overall. I went about 1:00 and they had very few choices to order. I got the chicken adobo and chicken kare. The adobo was very dry and tough and the kare very vinegary. I understand that vinegar is in the recipe but this was a little overbearing. I got some vegetable lumpia and it was mushy and greasy. They didn't have any of the food I was hoping for. They had no chicken skewers and no bibingka or cassava. I ask when they usually have these items and she couldn't tell me. Not very friendly when I ask questions I guess I'll have to drive to Mira Mesa. So sad, I was hopeful based on previous reviews. read more

Growing up in Mira Mesa I've tried lots of Filipino food. This place is excellent. Everyone is helpful and kind. The lumpia is everything you hope for. read more

K & K Orient Valley - Filipino Near Me - Escondido, California

K & K Orient Valley is a nice local spot in Escondido to get some Filipino grub. This place is a great option and beats going to the Orient Valley in PQ. There are plenty of food options for dining as well as a little grocery store inside for other items such as pandesal bread, etc. I come here frequently for the sisig and turon! The SISIG here is top notch and pretty tasty. It has a nice crisp and is tangy with a little spice. Pure goodness!! The TURON is always really great and a hit at parties! It has the perfect blend of sweetness from banana inside and the sweet glaze from outside the turon, and it always has the crunch factor.. YUMYUM. Each bite is addicting :) read more

We got hungry for a Filipino Fiesta (feast) but I didn't feel like cooking all the different dishes that I want just for the three of us; Kare-kare, fresh Lumpia, dinuguan with puto, sisig, pancit, bibingka, ginataang bilo-bilo and of course garlic fried rice. So off I went three cities east of us (11 miles) to get the food we're craving. It's like a Pinoy buffet but with left-overs. Fred is so happy with KK Orient Valley Food Center in Escondido, CA. He's kinda picky with Filipino food, it has to taste authentic not Americanized, nothing bland, and of course fresh. Bonus is the pricing. Very reasonably priced. I pre-ordered a half tray of Kare-kare and requested no tripe. They accommodated my request and no extra charge for the customization. This is a point-point joint but you can pre-order trays of food if you want. During this Rona season, no eat in allowed, keep your social distancing, wear mask, and be considerate. So totally worth the drive for this home style cooked Filipino food. I would definitely recommend this place for your Filipino food craving without breaking the bank. read more

They're the same owner as Manila Fast Food in Mira Mesa, so I am pretty stoked that they're in Escondido! I recently ordered for a party: They have the best crispy pata! They take orders for full on lechon if you order in advance. The turon is my favorite! Not too long, big, bulky (yes, the turon!), not too sweet and it's crispy! The cassava cake is also on point! Consistency is just right and not too sweet. It does have bits of coconut meat in it. The lumpia was fresh and delicious. They were not stingy with their sauce and for each items ordered. Our food was well packaged. The pancit was not my favorite but still taste really good. It was not oily. I ordered the mix; pork and shrimp. I would have preferred a little more meat in it. They did pack lemon slices (some places give you fake lemon juice packets to go. Screw that!). You can also dine in or pick and choose combo plates to go! A little advise: Filipinos do not understand vegetarian or vegan dishes for side! Save yourself the frustration and don't bother! LOL. Overall, pretty satisfied with their service and food. I'm definitely going back there again. read more

This place needs major cleaning. The chairs in the corner been there for years, the condiments are felty to include the blinds.

The parents frequent is place for their party trays. This is the 1st time having this food from the restaurant itself for me. They have a little Filipino market with Filipino goods on the side and all their hot food on a hot tray line in the front. I ordered 2, 2 item combos so I could try a couple different dishes. Of course I had to order the chocolate meat for the kids for those of you who don't know this dish is a pork blood and vinegar based dish called dinuguan. Traditionally it is made with offal but I personally enjoy it more with pork meat and my kids love it, it is a geat dish over rice but give it a try with a fermented sweet rice dough called puto. It tasted great here at K&K. I also had the bikol express which I have had a couple variations but here it was with shrimp and greens, the chiles and coconut milk give it a great flavor but a bit too salty for my taste. I also ordered the pork skewers, it had a garlicy sweet marinade and the char on the meat is so good. What it does for me is a dish called Dinakdakan, its a peppery and creamy pig ear dish that will blow your mind. Great traditional filipino food! read more
