Everything is good, especially their turon & chicken empanada, but the price [chix empanada] went up sooo much!! A dozen small ones used to cost me arnd $13...now it's $19 for a dozen small ones. A dozen large is $23!! That's insane!! Plus they need to update their hours. Yelp says they close at 9pm, but when i called arnd 7:15pm, the girl i spoke to said they close at 8pm. She said they changed their hours months ago!! read more

Good turon and that's where it ends. Every year during the holiday season they manage to be very unorganized. I order over a week in advance for turon for pickup at 4pm. When I get there there's a long line and people waiting around. They're behind schedule on fulfilling orders. The people coming in for pickup have been waiting for over an hour and there's separate lines inside and outside the store. There's no signs stating where to go. Worst of all, you have people walking in without preordering getting their orders before the folks that preordered. Why not have a preorder pickup line and a walk in order line? Why don't you make sure you have the capability to fulfill orders before you take more? The same thing happened the past 2 years. Get it together kalahi. Sorry, but I had to drop that ether on y'all. read more

I've never tried anything else besides their freshly fried garlic peanuts. It's fried with REAL garlic and tossed with some MSG. This item is not for those who hate MSG (even though, studies clearly show that MSG does not cause headaches or tummyaches, it's all psychological..). Anyway, the peanuts are so good! Don't eat too much of course, a few of these peanuts will put you over 200 calories haha. read more

Whenever we're in the area, Kalahi is a MUST. Chicken empanadas! YES! The empanaditas are cuter, but you end up eating more than one anyway, so might as well get the empanadas! Wish they were still $0.75, but they're so good I'll still buy them any day! Stopped in yesterday to get empanadas, garlic peanuts, and hopia... my family's favorites. You can tell since the stash is almost gone (everyone took something for their baon!) Other things to try: - the pan de sal is always so fresh and warm - turon is yummy You'll pretty much be happy with anything you get there. But, bottom line: empanadas!!! read more

Heartbreak! So...I've been trying to get macaroons for the past few months. Every month or so, I'll go back and see if they have them. They haven't. Today, I went back and not only are the now cash only, but the girls behind the counter said that they don't make macaroons anymore. What?! Why?!?! No reason to go back now, since I like the D.J. Bibingkahan turon better. Bummer. read more

They always give your order away, no matter how long in advance you ordered. Once there, they make you wait 20 minutes to pick up the order you scheduled read more

Come here weekly over the other Filipino bakeries/kakanin sellers in the area. Love their pork empandas! The crust is the bomb, and makes the empanada as good as it can be! It's filled with seasoned ground pork, peas, carrots and other things. My favorite from Kalahi! i tend to buy the larger empanadas because the crust to filling ratio is just right. Although I love the crust, the small empanadas seem to not have enough filling. I think it's $1 for large and 0.85 for the small. Their chicken empanadas are pretty good! Again, because of the crust. Sometimes I find the chicken to be too dry, but always good. My family tends to like this better than the pork. I love their turon, puto - ones in the smaller containers seem to taste better than the one in a party platter... Not sure if it's cooked differently or it's just my imagination? Their kutsinta is the best in the area. Their sapin sapin and espasol is pretty good. Their monggo hopia is a mixed bag - sometimes it's moist, but sometimes it's way too dry... Must have a drink with it. Still tastes good without being too sweet. Their adobong peanuts are good - have brought home a few cups, and their garlic seems to consistently be good. Crisp and toasted, but not TOO burnt. I also order their vegetable lumpia, love that they can keep it crispy, and if I order to go, a light toast in the toaster oven makes it seem like it's freshly cooked. Delish! Nitpicking - my last veggie lumpia seemed like it was just a potato and carrot lumpia, Although not bad and satisfied a craving, I'm gonna be more careful and take a look at my next order of veggie lumpia. All-in-all, I come here for my weekly fix of Filipino food... read more

This is a little gem bakery that tucked away in a small plaza. They specialize in Filipino dessert such as turon, cassava cake, hopia... My favorite is turon. Always freshly made, sometimes you have to wait for them to make it. So crispy, not greasy and the sweetness of caramel is just perfect. Service was fast and friendly. They do take credit cards with minimum purchases. Avoid peak hours and weekend since the plaza parking is quite small. My husband had to wait in the car since we couldn't find parking. Other than that little inconvenience, everything is fine. read more

We went in advance and ordered 3 dishes for a party that we were attending the following week. We paid in full and was told it would be ready the morning of the party. Fast forward a week later, we stop by to pick up the order and guess what? They had no record of the transaction! They lost the order....WTH???!! Ummm, now we have nothing to bring to the party and are scrambling at the last minute for something. We were extremely upset, as you can imagine. They apologized, but that did us no good. Things happen, I get that, but losing a total paid order is just unacceptable. Be wary when placing a catering order with them. I would consider looking elsewhere for your catering/party needs.. read more

The minute you walk through the door and into the small bakery, a chime that has become so familiar to me it sounds like "welcome welcome welcome" announces your presence, you encounter two things: 1. pila (line) - on most days, it's only 3-5 people long. just before, during or sometimes after a major holiday, it's out the door and in the parking lot. We'll circle to surviving this in a minute. 2. the smell of the most incredible bread that is made with BUTTER. And the pancit, the puto, the TURON. Your clothes get tighter with just a few whiffs of the stuff. To survive the line: 1. if it's a large order and you don't want to wait anywhere from an hour or more to get your food, call ahead of time and PAY ahead of time. If you've already paid for your food, when you pick it up there's a separate line (especially during the holiday rush) so don't wait in the long one if you've paid already, and don't let other people tell you that because they were there first, you're behind them in the long, didn't-pay-yet line. 2. if it's not a large order but you want to make sure you get it, call ahead of time and tell them when you're going to pick it up. it helps if you have someone who speaks Tagalog order for you (thanks, Mom) so there's less misunderstandings. And if you're in line and you see what you want already stacked on the racks or the counter, grab it. What to get: 1. Chicken Empanadas - the small ones are cheaper, and for some reason, taste better, even though the only difference between the larger ones and the small ones is price and as mentioned, size. Plus, it's baked vs. fried, like a lot of places make it, and they don't skimp on the meat inside like some places (Red Ribbon of the flat empanadas, I'm looking at you). 2. Turon - you won't find turon quite like this anywhere else; the banana isn't too soft but not hard, either, it's crunchy and sweet but not overly so and most importantly, they don't burn it. 3. Pancit/Puto - get what you can, when you can. Sometimes they run out of stuff if you wait for your turn with one of the friendly staff. Downside: They used to accept debit/credit cards, but I think they reverted to cash only. *sad panda face* read more

Went there to purchase some items so I can take it to my family in Vegas. I purchased a dozen large empanadas, $10 worth of turon and assorted baked siopao and chicken pandesal. Had high hopes for their turn because it's always good each time I get them. But this time the banana that was used is not ripe yet so the turon does not taste good and the banana is still hard and no flavor to it. I wish that they do some quality control on their products. Just so they can make a buck they sell items that are not even edible. What a waste of money. read more

Kalahi Bakery - Wasted turon...no one wants to eat it cuz the banana they used is not ripe yet! Waste of my money!!! - Bakeries Near Me - Walnut, California

EMPANADITAS!!!!! i HEART the empanaditas they have from this place whenever my mom brings home a box of these i eat like 2 at a time b/c they are SUPER SARAP!!! The size of these lil empanadas are perfect and the dough they bake it in is good too...b/c I don't like the empanadas from red ribbon or any other filipino place that has the darker brown yucky dough and puts peas in the empanadas! bleh!!! This place is a hole in the wall type place in a pretty janky joint, but we'll still keep coming here as long as they got hot pan de sal and those empanaditas i love so much. =) read more

This place has great empanadas and Turon... I have to agree with most Yelpers. This is why I gave them 3 Stars. This is why I did not give them an additional 2 Stars: Service is not consistent. Example: Sometimes they say thank you and sometimes they smile. Also, it doesn't matter if you order ahead of time for the turon or empanadas... They still make you wait. Not accepting any credit card is so inconvenient. However, they do have an ATM machine that will deduct a couple of bucks from your account. read more

Outdated facility without adequate ventilation because it was extremely hot in there. Service was nonexistent! A female staff was ignoring me when I tried to ask for assistance. She finally got some turons for me and when I tried to pay, she walked away to do a different task. Turons were good but not worth the frustration. This facility did not appreciate their customers so I won't be back. read more

This is definitely my go to place when I want my Filipino desserts! Low key spot in West Covina/Walnut area. Place is small but once you walk in..it's like being on sweet cloud nine! Come check place out! Ooh and by the way they're best known for their sweet banana roll dessert! (Turon-for us Filipinos!) read more

4 stars for pan de sals- they are so soft and u can tell they were made that day..good on freshness!...I wish they had ensaymadas ...no I did not mean empenadas lol huge difference! Newy I'm awaiting my moms opinion abt the hopia and I can't wait to try their sapin sapin and kuchinta ......O and the turon that everyone keeps yelping about!! couple days later... the hopia was heavy and as big as my wrist LOL , lets just say i will not get hopia from here..the ones sold at seafood city are much better! O and if your using a card there is a spending limit of i think 5 bucks...just a heads up! read more

I grew up coming to this bakery with my family. We'd always buy hot and fresh pan de sal and buy some empanadas while we were at it. This little bakery is cash only...so make sure you have cash on hand before heading in. There are plenty of Filipino favorites...from chips to candy to dessert...I'm just bummed that they don't really have hot pan de sal any more. The prices are alright...nothing too expensive. We always get empanadas when we go there...puto (a rice dessert), and egg pie...their turon is pretty good but I like how my mom makes it better haha. Just one of those little bakeries you keep going to. read more

The kalahi bakery in walnut & west covina are okay, do not try going to their location in Fontana, it is rated C Jan 4, 2020 I drove there to get some "turon" disgusting for me to see on their window being rated C by the Dept of Health.. If you are rated C they are cited for 10 to 12 corrections. When I asked the staff, all they said were it's the temperature..the Dept of Health will not rate them C if just temperature issues. The owner must have gone over their head about this branch, so mismanaged to have the place under C. Seems to be not so concerned bcs they are still operating. They should have close before they get people sick and open when they are above C rating. Just to think, very very seldom a food place with C rating. Disgusting, not safe for food consumption. read more

Ratings are for turons & empanadas. Always a party favorite, yummy turons (best i've tasted so far). Chicken & pork empanadas are flavorful as well. Bakery is tiny with great service & pricing. I've return to this location numerous times. read more

Disclaimer: I am not Filipino and don't eat Filipino food regularly. If you are just a random civilian seeking something new, the desserts here weren't my favorite. I tried the lumpia filled with mashed plantain and a fried 'donut' with a purple paste. The food didn't taste bad but it was overly greasy and a bit one note. read more

Worst customer service ever! They accept orders via call and ask you what time you're gonna pick it up but when you get there you still have to wait at least 2 hours before you get your order because apparently there's a line of people before you. And plus the people there are not very organized and very rude. One time we walked in told them we want turon and then we picked up something else and paid, turns out she didn't charge turon and only charged the other things we got, she seemed like she was rushing because it was almost her time for break, she said oh i thought you didn't want turon like thats the first thing we said. never go here on holidays and don't even bother calling for an order, they don't even follow it. read more

One of my favorite filipino bakery. I have tried Red Ribbon, Goldilocks, Kalahi is just simply the best. It's really sad that the only time I have a chance to go is when I pass by nogales or eat at Sate House. Kalahi has one of the best fried banana in the world. Its crispy and sweet egg roll skin of the fried banana create one of the best combination. Always get more than 1 because you won't be able to stop after the first bite. They used to have Puto pao that I loved so much. Didn't know why they stop making it. Puto pao has the sweet pao that I love and the salty egg and meaty in the center goodness. My wife seems to like the empanada. So far, I have not found an empanada that I like. So, I cant really say about their empanada. Now please bring back puto pao for me !!!! ^_^ read more

Best turon ever! Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Banana and jackfruit taste fresh and sweet. Excellent egg pie. Imagine caramel flan but with scrambled egg texture. The crust was smooth and buttery. Mildly disappointed in the basic as hell cassava cake. I'm accustomed to more coconut in my cassava cakes not to mention condensed milk as a topping. Lastly, they do take debit cards but I'm not sure for credit. I will be back! read more

Need to double check the food that you buy- aside from NO EXPIRATION DATE written anywhere in the food container- it's also spoiled, not easy to return or exchange for another one, at least it happened to me twice ( 2 x ) . read more

Always a favorite for Chicken Emapanaditas and Pandesals!!! Although it's a drive from Eastvale, we try to just stop from our Dentist or other errands in the area. read more

I am so glad Kalahi is out of my way otherwise I will be here everyday. My favorite here is the Turon and of course there are so many options: empanadas, puto, bibingka, different kinds of kakanin and of course, the pan de sal and chicharron! Love this place! read more

TURON! and PAN de COCO. enough said. This is the place for that. Just make sure you order ahead of time if you want a lot. Otherwise, you will wait. read more

Co-worker hooked me up with this place for the pork rinds. Some of the best I've ever had.

Chicken empanadas. Their empanadas are definitely one of my favorites! My mamabear always brings them home for our family. So yummy! On the other side, they need to turn on the AC at that place! It was crazy hot outside and felt even worse in the bakery! At least try to make your customers feel a little comfortable while waiting for their food. Plus I saw a fly flying around next to an UNCOVERED bin of turon! Nasty. read more

Cash only. I tried their ube hopia and it was very dry all throughout. Threw away the rest. They do have a vast array of Filipino desserts and pastries that I'm sure are probably better than the hopia. read more

People go to this place mainly for their famous Turon na Saging which is like a fried banana & jackfruit crepe...but they have something that people are not aware of ...they make the most delicious Sinaing na Tulingan......which is Baby Bonita slow cooked for several hours with Kamias ( tree cucumber) ....awesome! read more

Man, I love this place. Apparently there have been many owners and changing the name throughout the many years, but the thing that always stays the same is the FRESH HOT PAN DE SAL!!! Love bringing back a bag of those home and scarfing a couple of them before they hit room temp. Another thing I love are the Turron. Those are especially good when you come at the right time and are fresh and HOT! I can tell you around the times they are done with a fresh batch, but can't...i want first dibbs...it pays to live 1 min away by walking or 15 sec. by car :P The only downside i see is that during the holiday seasons, especially Christmas and New Year's Day there are lines that stretch out far back till your at that Liquor Store on the corner so getting your hands on fresh pan de sal and turron will be a little difficult, not impossible to come by. read more

My boyfriend took me here to try some of his cultures favorite food: the turon! It is a plantain egg roll I believe that is sugar coated in a syrup. It is so good! The sweetness of the banana combined with the crunchyness and slight savory hints of the egg roll sheet is so amazing. It is not the healthiest snack even though it is fruit.....but it's still fruit right? Haha mmm and it is so inexpensive for the quality and taste! read more

OH man best turron EVER! This is what I buy when I come here - turron, mini chicken empanadas, and whole wheat pan de sal. Their chicken empanadas are soo good and soo addicting. You buy the mini empanadas so you don't eat too much regular size empanadas. You tell yourself you are only going to eat two, and you end up eating six mini empanadas in one sitting. Might as well eaten that one regular size empanada and call it a day! But for real, their turrons are the best out of all the filipino food joints I have ever tried. There are literally a line of people in the morning wiping them out of their freshly made turron, and people waiting in line for the next batch of turron. Its delicious, not to sweet, no strong banana pasty aftertaste, and addicting. It used to be 50 cents a piece and now its 60 cents a piece. Still a bargain, and I still buy at least 12 pieces everytime I'm in the area. I've tried their pancit malabon and its pretty good. The noodles are a little on the thick side, but still good. I actually prefer Manila Sunset's pancit malabon over theirs. My Lola sends me to Kalahi Bakery everytime I'm in town so I can bring it to her when I visit. Everytime I'm in town I have a innate craving for this bakery. Something about the food at this place feels very organic, authentic, and made from the heart. I love it here. read more

Getting worse and worse. This shop keeps on messing up my order. Last time they switched the number or turon and empanadas I ordered. Just went there today. And today's no exception. Somehow some empanadas r missing. I asked for 4 chicken empanadas and 6 pork empanadas. Got 4 chk and 4 pork, but paid for all 10. Thanks a lot for nothing. The price is not cheap either. Please check ur order before u leave. Somehow they might messed it up like they always did mine. read more

Turon. That's all there is for you to have to try here. The best turon. The empanadita is pretty bomb too. read more

Great place to get freshly made daily Turon (fried Plantain banana egg rolls). They also have the best crunchy chicharones! Very affordable. read more

I made an order for food to be ready at 6:30 and I waited 40 minutes for it be ready. I don't like confronting people at food places for wait times, but I am really disappointed read more

This is the lousiest Filipino bakery every established in Southern California. Don't waste your time buying anything from this store. There is no service. I am not surprised if this will close soon. Better go somewhere else. read more

I've only set foot in here twice because I usually have their foods at parties when someone orders a huge tray of stuff but lemme just say that their turon (banana and jackfruit fried in a spring roll wrapper) is the best I've ever had. I know they sell out quickly so be sure to get there earlier in the day and call for large orders! read more
