There are not better ways to say this other than, "just not impressed." There are so many other places that are better, but since this is the closest Filipino restaurant to me, it's ok. If you are looking for good Filipino food, you are better off driving to Cerritos and go to DJ's, Magic Wok, or Gerry's. If you are looking for good Filipino food in Anaheim, try Piony Fiesta. At Kapit Bahay, my biggest complaint is that selection is limited. I ordered beef steak and it was SUPER dry. I wouldn't say that their food was all that bad, but it was not excellent either. Overall, just blah. If you are looking for something close to this locaiton, go. But if you can go somewhere else...go somewhere else! read more

Really good meal! Yelped looking for some Filipino food near Disneyland (one can get so tired of the Disney fare) tool the risk trying a random new place and boy oh boy did it hit the spot!

Two item plates also came with two scoops of rice , and a delicious side order of some soup , i forget what it was called but it was SO AMAZING !!!! I ordered pancit and afritada ! Yumm! It was good and I'm picky!! Will be returning next disney trip when a Filipino craving hits :) read more

Kapit Bahay - Pancit and chicken afritada - Filipino Near Me - Anaheim, California

See all

Delicious!!!!!!!! I loved the food. Describing it won't do it justice....you have to go to find out how good it is.

Love Filipino food but I notice that their adobo, menudo, beef steaks are old.. Too many food to choose from but quality is below my expectations. Can be corrected. I will try again in a few weeks. read more

Went here because I wanted some authentic Filipino food and not just Jollibee and this was right next door. I ordered some sinigang, chicken afritada and pork adobo to go. Their price was reasonable but the portions were a bit on the smaller side. The food quality was pretty good.. not too oily and very flavorful. I'd probably suggest getting there when they open so the food is a bit more fresh, esp if you want to eat it right away. This is a really small, but very well stocked Filipino restaurant.. with some very friendly ladies behind the counter. Best place to go if you're someone like me and don't live with their parents and miss some home cooked Filipino food! read more

please go somewhere else if u want filipino food, I bought pansit (noodles) it tasted nasty! the after taste was horrible! i think it was expired! it made me sick after !! read more

The reason I give this place 5 stars, is because it's fast food I was not expecting fine dining. For fast food it is one of the better Filipino joints around , I had Sword fish adobo! Unique and great tasting! I loved it. And they serve you there as if they actually like there jobs with a friendly smile and a little small talk goes a long long way! a+ I'll be back soon :) read more

Kapit Bahay - Sword fish adobo :) yummy - Filipino Near Me - Anaheim, California

Found this spot on Yelp and despite the mixed reviews, I decided to try it. This is your typical fast food Filipino spot. Nothing amazing, but not terrible either. They have many options to choose from for their to go entree combos and also sell many delicious pre-packaged snacks. There is better options out there. This is last resort time of place. I may return If I'm not willing to drive further for other shows options. read more

I want to say it's supposed to be zero*because their price is way too much. I purchased two flan and they charge for $7.25 and they still charge me for a credit card fee which is $.50 most of the retailer they don't charge anything if it's more than $10 but then they do. I heard that their food are mostly reheated and will serve again the following day if it didn't sell the day before. There grocery items are over priced. I was going to buy a bag of chicharon and they are charging me for $7.50. read more

Puro reheated and pagkain dito one time yung corn beef nila ay Panis tapos yung pinakbet rin. Tapos yong cashier Na bata Na bababe bago yata ay masungit. Hindi Na ko kakain ulit dito sawali at my fiesta Na Lang ako read more

Meh. I've experienced better. Sums it about up. Not that I expect anything to be better than mom's home cooking but I somehow hoped that it would be tasty after mom said she often came here. Maybe the lady is getting complacent in her years but this place can't hold a candle to the other Filipino places in the area. The meat isn't of great quality and everything is either dry or extremely oily. It's not terrible for a quick meal but I would head elsewhere if you are looking to try Filipino food for the first time or your looking to really get an idea of what real Filipino food should taste like. read more

I always order kare kare plus another dish when I come here. The last time I came I was disappointed because the beef they used on kare kare was tough and the sauce was watery and lacked that peanut taste to it. It's like they just boiled that beef in water quick and dumped it with the remaining meat so it'll blend in. You can tell because the meat didn't have that peanut taste because it wasn't cooked long enough to absorb all the spices. Please be consistent with this dish. read more

The food's great. And when they louse up, they give you more! Sometimes I wish they made more mistakes so I can get more food! LOL! But all kidding aside, this is one of the better Filipino restaurants I've ever been to here in north Orange County. The only problem I have is they prefer cash. And when you pay with a credit card, they charge you an additional $050 service charge. As a business myself that uses merchant services, I know for a fact this is a violation of their contract. But what can I say? The food's great, so I just pay the extra 50 cents. read more

I like this place reviews scared me but I like it.. feels like your aunt or Gma cooked it old school cooking and we catered a pan of their noodles and it was really good everyone loved it! Thank you read more

Have been eating here since about 2000. Now i am NOT an expert on filipino food at ALL. However, as i've become more indoctrinated into the cuisine (wife is Filapina), i've noticed that this place has the least greasy filipino food i've found so far (along with maybe Goldilocks). For some reason, greasy food just doesn't appeal to me. The adobo is pretty decent, the rest i'm still trying. But overall, it's not bad. My wife misses this place now that we've moved out of the area. So, whenever we're in the OC we almost always stop in and at least grab something to eat. The staff is always friendly - and for some odd reason remember us and always say a welcome 'hello!' when we're back. REally nice people. i hope they're able to stay in business for a long time. read more

Well having lived in Carson CA I am surrounded by really tasty and yummy filipino food. NOW that I am in the OC, this place will do I guess. Its ok, I really have experienced better, but in need of a quick flip food fix? I drive to eat here. I would drive to Cerritos but its like 25 mins away from me so I just settle for this. THey tend to repeat a lot of their menu items read more

The pancit was bland. The place does not have air conditioning. It is a regular, typical place with.

We were looking for chocolate mallows and he brought me here. He figured that they would have it here. And yes they have it here!! So i am a very happy camper. They have a lot of Filipino goodies and home-cooked food here. I haven't tried any of their food but he always comes here to buy food and he said they are pretty good. Too bad they do not have dinuguan. They located in a Plaza. Parking is not a problem. The location is perfect. read more

Ok, so I may be white kid but I've had my fair share of good homemade filipino food and this place is right up there. This is a half-fastfood restaurant, half-bakery/grocery. There is not really a menu, just an array of dishes to choose from at the counter, about 14 or 15. None of them are labeled, unfortunate, but the service is friendly and happy to explain anything. The adobo was really really god, then I had a scoop of rice with the adobo sauce and that was amazing, really got the the taste of the pepper and the sauce itself, amazing. I also got ground beef mixed with peas and carrots (no idea what it was called) buit it was good, nothing terribly unique but good all the same. Also tried a chicken empenada, not much chicken but the dough was good and fresh, will have to try some of their bakery items in the future. The two entree plate with 2 big scoops of rice was only around $6.50 and the empenada $1.75, i think. Nice and cheap. Everything is served on paper plates with plastic utensils but there are no knives!, and obviously the meat is pretty hard to cut with a plastic spoon and fork. All in all, a good place, good place. P.S. Authentic Filipino television programming on in the background, can't go wrong. read more

Wow, this was fantastic.I had never had Filipino food before. Now I'm a fan.

I go here because it is close and when I need my Filipino fix, I sometimes don't have time to drive out to Cerritos, so I go here. It's so-so. The food isn't super amazing, but it's Filipino food. Some things are great, like the garlic rice, longanisa, and adobo. Other things (most things) are not that great -- oily, meat isn't deboned, or just plain bland. The service is excellent though -- it's like visiting you uncle and they put food in front of you, and even though you're not liking it -- you eat it just to be polite. When I go, there's usually just one other couple, so they can clearly see when you don't touch the food. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem sending food back when it's not to my liking, but it's different when it's my people (uh, that's something I will discuss with my therapist). Anyway, I would highly recommend going somewhere else if you have the time to drive out to LA -- otherwise, this might have to suffice until next time. read more

worst filipino joint here. typical filipino owner who decides the prize.. very expensive. plus there's transaction fee when i used debit smh.. i ordered a small vegetable it cost me almost 10$ hahahhaa. crazy!! place isn't well maintained. outside the door saw a cockroach next to the side of the door.. yikes.. i dont come here at all cuz i knew the price and thecfood was not good.. just thought id stop by last night cuz i was craving for some vegetable on coconut milk. oh well dissatisfied again.. read more

Mediocre Filipino food at best. I should've taken the lack of people eating there during lunchtime as a sign to skip that joint and go to Jollibee instead. My mom, daughter and I shared kare-kare, bbq pork on a stick, sisig and eggplant omelet. The only decent dish was the kare-kare, though I wasn't expecting tripe in it. The bbq pork was chewy and hardly edible. Needless to say, we won't be returning. read more

Won't come back again. There was hair on my pusit. Plus they throw my two ulams in one plate and one ulam got mixed in with the other. Blah blah.... so gross! read more

to be honest I prefer my moms cooking but then again who doesnt? But its good if your on the go. I stopped in for lunch and I was satisfied

I would have given this place two stars solid, but the fact alone than they have TFC (The Filipino Channel for you non-Flips out there) blaring in the background is definitely enough to warrant that extra ratings boost, particularly since Dolphy was on today!!! I was really looking forward to some old school Filipino favorites since now my mom doesn't really cook as much as she used to unless we're having guests or something like that. Some thick, spicy dinuguan would mos def hit the spot... maybe some palabok with lots of chicharon and patis, some fresh lumpia with toooons of fresh garlic... mmm. So I agreed to take a similarly adventurous foodie friend of mine (who spent some years living in Indonesia so he loves this kinda stuff anyway) out here for some Filipino indulgence. No dinuguan, no palabok (we came at about 1... I'm not sure when these people think merienda is but it's coming up quick, ladies, get that stuff out there would ya?!?!) *merienda = meal between meals* AND NO FRESH LUMPIA??? OMG. O.M.G. As I described to my friend some of the more familiar dishes to me, I began to eye the kare-kare (peanut butter stew) for myself, and possibly even the longaniza... at least that is ONE thing I know I can't go wrong with. He orders the chicken adobo (chicken marinated with vinegar, soy sauce, oil, bay leaves and a little pepper) and chicken apritada (tomato-based sauce chicken with potatoes). Another sad, sad side note: NO SARSI OR ROYAL!!! What kind of a Filipino place is this??? Quite dejectedly I grabbed a calamansi-flavored green tea for myself and calamansi juice for my friend. Kapit Bahay (= next door) is a nice homely place with a few random Philippine grocery items here and there, and your local auntie running the place behind the counter, whose humor is lost in translation. Some of the food looks fresher than others but there wasn't any one particular dish that stood out as looking especially old or disgusting. Sarciado (small fish sauteed with tomatoes, onions and eggs) looked ok, Lola (Grandma) was eating it in the corner kamayan-style (with her hands) so it couldn't have been that bad. I was heartily disappointed with the kare-kare -- too much oil, not enough peanut butter, and the accompanying salted shrimp paste (bagoong) was kind of nasty. Ugh. Thankfully the longaniza was perfect and my friend inhaled his chicken dishes. Two two-item combos with TONS of food + 2 drinks = $16. Not bad when you consider that most Filipino food anywhere in or near Orange County is deathly overpriced. I'm glad I brought my friend here as a safe haven, but there MUST be some better Flip food somewhere where I don't have to drive an extra 30 miles... The selection here is really saddening if you're looking for something specific and they don't have it. But the food is decent (and that means a lot coming from the daughter of a Filipina master chef... well not officially but that's how I see my mom) and the portions are huge. Well worth the trip to satisfy a craving in my opinion. read more

Came here for lunch with my family and partner visiting the area and found this place and was pretty much excited to eat here. Just to find out The food is so so and okay. I had 2 choices which was lechon kawali and menudo. I did enjoy the lechon kawali but had better ones in San Diego, the menudo was alright as well. I was expecting more of the Menudo with more ingredients in it like raisins. The garlic fried rice was served a bit cold and not as fresh plus it didn't taste that great. Paid for 3 meals and it was a bit costly for the little amount of serving they gave. If I was really desperate I probably just shop for the ingredients and make my own Filipino food. Sorry not so sorry. read more

not the greatest filipino food i've had. its your basic point to the food item you think looks good because they dont have any signs to tell you what it is. I always mix up kaldereta with everything. Filipino food isn't the most savory thing out there so i dont know how things can get any better. traditionally filipinos make their food on the bland side so people can adjust it later to fit their taste. however i do like their palabok. its no red ribbon or goldielocks. but it will do. its the only thing i enjoy getting from here. read more

I love this store. The food is good (especially their Igado and lechon kawali), the staff is very friendly and the best part is, they sell my favorite chicharon here! OMSG!!! This is the only place that I know of that sells this chicharon here in Orange County. Now I don't have to go to Las Vegas to get my favorite chicharon. Lol read more

I thought I'd give this place a try but This place is a bit more pricier than other point point filipino place. Their A La Cart food is pricey. I bought breakfast A La Cart. Large langonisa (5-pieces), 3 bbq sticks and jeprox totaled to approx $30. It's like $9 each item and they don't give you a-lot. Think of it...5 longonisa for $9 bucks wow! Oh!, And make sure you look at the freshness of the food. Hard to recommend this place when the food portions doesn't match the price, and we know because we go to other point point pinoy places. read more

AMAZING SERVICE! They are all very nice and the food is delicious! I love going here everyday and it is authentic Filipino food!

Came here for a lunch, this place had many of the basic filipino dishes. I ordered kaldereta and corned beef because I was craving that from their selection. Unfortunately I wish they had filipino BBQ, or Kare Kare, some of my all-time favorites too. But the dishes I had were good, will definitely come back to try their other ones. read more

This place has no hospitality and no customer service. I went there in the morning around 10am looking to get breakfast like, Pork Tocino, Pork Longaniza, Beef Tapa or Bangus. So i Went inside and was the only customer there. The Chef with tattoo, a server and a cashier, was chatting with each other. I stood there for a full 2 minutes without being greeted, and the server kept looking back and fort to me waiting for me to speak up and tel her what i want to order. THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE ON CUSTOMER SERVICE PLUS THEY USE TOO MUCH SALT AND MSG ON THEIR FOOD. read more

This is probably the worst Filipino food I've ever had. Their food was cold and their meat is very tough. The Kaldareta had cold and hot parts and it was spicier than usual. They even messed up the banana lumpia!! It was soggy on the inside and had no flavor. The banana cue was bad too. It was very cold and no flavor. read more

What a little gem I found in this Filipino eatery. I love that it's set up like a mom and pop shop. The food was fresh and ANG SARAP, just like home!!! Wish I could have sampled a little of everything. If this was buffet style as opposed to one, two or three item meal choice, I'd be in heaven. I'd definitely return of I'm in the area because anything is a good time for Filipino food. read more

FACT: i love filipino food filipino food is fattening/oily this is NOT the greatest filipino food... i cannot stress that enough. sometimes i get these strange cravings for filipino food while i am at work. this is fortunately a few blocks away. i get stuff that i don't/can't make at home. i get excited to see it in my to go box but when i actually eat it i get so disappointed. mungo dish = has the tiny shrimp in it instead of the whole shrimp with the head. wayyyyyy oily pinakbet = has the tiny shrimp again! ugh. ok..... too much bittermelon, not enough of everything else. they do NOT have dinuguan... wtf man how can a filipino place NOT have dinuguan... thats just a shame..... i would eat that every day. this place is NOT like my mama's cooking, or my lola's cooking, or even my cook's cooking... who the fuck is in the kitchen?!?! read more

My meal today is one of the few times I've had Filipino food (and the first time eating it out), so I don't have much of a bar for comparison. Upon going inside, it's a larger version of a take-out Chinese location, with a selection of prepared foods under heat lamps waiting to be selected for immediate consumption. The walls were playing host to an assortment of snacks and goodies. I found the lady who helped me noticed my unfamiliarity with the foods and was very nice in helping me. I ended up with rice, pancit, beef adobo, and fried salmon. All in all, pretty good, there wasn't anything I didn't enjoy except the fish, it was very dry from sitting outside for a while. The adobo was good, but not as flavorful as I've had at my friends homes. The pancit were the standard noodle affair with some veggies to change up the flavors while eating. There was nothing about the experience that had me saying "i MUST come back," but Kapit Bahay did fulfill my Filipino craving for today! read more

Honestly food was ok. It's the customer service that sucks. I was served by this lady in a hairnet, she's tall and little bit skinny (I didn't catch her name). She was rude and very impatient. It's not like it's very busy there when I came. It was just me ordering around that time. When I was done ordering my food, I looked up their menu to see the price for their drinks. Small was $1.50 and Large was $1.75. So I ordered 2 Large drinks. The lady told me they don't have small or large drinks. They only have medium. So I asked how much is their medium drink since they obviously don't have that in their menu list. She said it's also $1.75. I told her the medium supposed to be a little less than their Large. But she keeps on insisting it's the same price as their Large cup of drink. So I asked again if they have a can of soda and how much it is. I was hoping the price is a little less. But nope, she said it's also $1.75. A can of soda, Large cup of drink and medium cup drink all have the same price of $1.75. I complained to her about it but she said that's just how it is. I was about to loose my temper but my husband calm me down. Again, food was ok. Customer service sucks. I won't be coming back. read more

Been coming here for years. I love it here. Their food is much more reasonably priced than other places, most are too greasy. Their kare kare is better than Leelin for half the price and i get rice with it. Im sorry if this place isnt for you, you just got champagne taste on a beer budget :) Ive been to similar places and their quality is low. anywho, this place is yum and I love their little store too! read more
