Wooo!
Leland S.

I've heard about this spot for a while. I was in the area and finally had a chance to check it out -- here was my experience. AMBIANCE Parking: Welcome to Hollywood! It can get busy, but there's usually metered parking around the area if you're patient. Seating: Mostly indoor seating with room for around 50 people. Works well for both small and larger groups. Vibes: This isn't the flashy side of Hollywood, but it's still surrounded by plenty of lively spots and things to do. The restaurant itself feels like stepping into a Filipino American home -- a mix of Filipino cultural touches alongside European-style artwork and framed articles highlighting the restaurant's history and recognition. It gives the space a lived-in, personal feel. Great for a food adventure, meeting up with friends, or even settling in for a casual meal while getting some work done. FOOD / DRINKS Dinuguan (Recommend) Tangy, slightly sour, and earthy -- classic Filipino black pudding stew with tender pork chunks. It's one of those dishes that's deeply traditional and packed with iron-rich flavor. If you're familiar with Filipino cuisine, this one hits the mark. Chicken Inasal (Recommend) Nicely charred and juicy grilled chicken with saucy flavors throughout. Simple, satisfying, and well-executed. Calamansi with Honey (Recommend) Sweet, citrusy, and refreshing. The calamansi gives it that bright Filipino citrus flavor, while the honey smooths everything out nicely. SERVICE Franco was great -- friendly and attentive without being overbearing. TL;DR OVERALL 4.5 Stars. Delicious food, solid variety, and a pleasant overall experience. I tend to be a tougher critic when it comes to Filipino food, but this place delivered. The dishes had good presentation, quality ingredients, and flavors that reflect Filipino provincial cooking. Props to the LA Rose Cafe team for continuing to honor Lemuel Balagot's legacy. Looking forward to coming back. #FilipinoFoodMovement #RepresentAZN TIPS * Check their website or IG for seasonal specials. * https://www.ft.com/content/9bfd3cc3-1d5f-4173-9e67-c4d942652382

Buchon (1/2 lb)
Nicki A.

Finally got to try LA Rose Cafe after seeing so many good videos about it on insta/tiktok and it did not disappoint. From the moment you walk in, it feels like you're entering your Lola's house with the cozy and design (it was so cute with Christmas decoration, especially) We came with a party of 6 and we were able to book a reservation for 11am on a Saturday. Service was kind and quick! We ordered: - Tapa Plate - Tocino Plate - Oxtail Kare-Kare - Sweet & Sour Sole Fish - Daing - 1/2 lb Buchon - sides of garlic rice for those who didn't get a plate Everything was delicious and felt so homey! My favorite was the Sweet & Sour Sole Fish bc it had a perfect tempura batter flake and came with 2 sauces (sweet and sour & a tempura like sauce). Folks who ordered individual plates said the tapa and tocino were also very good. I loved that the had different kinds of vinegar on the table (forgot to take a pic) There were so many things I wanted to try from the menu so I will definitely be back again, thank you!

Such a cute restaurant. Friendly servers and good Filipino food. Excellent brunch place. Street parking only.

I'm sorry but me and my wife were disappointed when we came for brunch last Friday. Coming in here felt like being at our nanay's home; a traditional Filipino home with random stuff and paintings on the wall. Nothing against it, it was just slightly odd. Not to mention, the bathroom area was pretty dirty with sewer water on the tile floors from the rain, etc. it felt icky. As we sat down, it took a long while for us to order. Maybe because there was only one person? There was literally only one cook as well which slowed things down. As we ordered, they had ran out of Sisig which I really wanted to try; I wish they had warned us from the start or had a notice up so guests knew. When the food came out, I thought their "famous empanadas" were dry and bland. They were so pale and weren't baked correctly. These definitely needed their house hot sauce for more flavor and taste. These DID NOT taste well with their house made sweet mustard sauce. Their cebu style lechon tasted like regular lechon kawali and their longanisa was so cold and dry, we had to tell them to re cook it. They literally threw it back into the fryer and just over cooked it to where it was burnt. This was a bad experience for us and we'll not be coming back. To be Filipino, I'm a bit shocked that this place did not execute especially since there's not that many Filipino restaurants around. Not good.

Craving for bangsilog and decided to try La Rose -- and wow, it did not disappoint! The bangsilog was so yummy, and the longganisa was equally delicious. We finished off with their ensaymada for dessert, which was soft, buttery, and absolutely perfect. The restaurant has such a warm, classic vibe, and Gabriel was super sweet and attentive -- truly great service! Hands down, one of the best Filipino restaurants in the area. There's street parking available, and while the outside of the building could use a little tidying up, the restaurant itself is clean and well-kept inside. Definitely coming back soon!. Thank you!

Ivan craving some really good chicken adobo for a long time as my cousins are Filipino and I only got good adobo at their house when Mom made it. Well if you eat here, Mama will make it for you too! It was a very generous portion of dark meat chicken in a really nice adobo sauce. It came with some grilled vegetables and a big heaping bowl of white rice. Not a tiny little bowl of white rice but old school two decades ago amount. And then the price can't be beat. My whole meal which I was full at the end was 19 dollars and 95 cents. And they do a really good job of giving you some flavored water that's included. With mint and lemon. Just really nice touches. The decor is amazing, you feel like you're tita's living room and eating at her kitchen. Highly recommended.

I'll rate it 3.5. I Visited with my daughter as I was craving Filipino food. Restaurant on corner not much of a curbside appeal. Greeted by a waiter/host. The place was bigger than I thought . High ceilings with a piano. Decorated ornately - Filipino style. We waited awhile to give our order. I ad to call another waiter to let them know we were ready to order. We ordered the 1/2 lb lechon combo plate and pancit palabok. Sizes were reasonable for price.There were 2 of us and it filled us up. They provided infused lemon cucumber water. I really enjoyed the vinegary sauce on the table over the hot tomato sauce. The stirfry veggies on combo plate was like it came from A frozen bag. The garlic rice flavorful. The lechon so-so( too Hard and dry) but enjoyed the sauce that came with. We both enjoyed the palabok with shrimp. . We didn't order any dessert but the halo halo bowl was huge /colorful and looked like it could serve 4 . people! I'll come next time for the dessert. People were nice and polite. But, service was slow. Slow to put in order and to get our check. The bathroom needs an update! It's old and unclean Only street parking and had a difficult time to find one on a Sunday afternoon.

Tom S.

Name does not indicate Filipino food. The palabok was smokey and delicious. Lechon melts in your mouth. I had bangus breakfast with eggs. Cantaloupe and calamansi drinks delicious! Parking limited.

Sisig Calamansi Juice
Josh N.

The Sisig was good! The presentation of the food was well done, the food comes out nice & hot, the drink options are right on par for a Filipino restaurant. The Calamansi juice wasn't too bland or too sweet, it was just right. The server was very good about coming out to check on us and asking if we needed anything and removing anything that no longer needed to be on the table. The outdoor seating was a nice touch to complete the experience for a nice lunch in LA!

1/2 lb pork bbq

We've been here today and all I can say is masarap! Everything we ate tastes back home . The experience was like your lola or nanay made it for special family weekend lunch. Definitely a must try in LA.

Shanghai Eggrolls

so delicious! one of best filipino restaurants in la. we ordered the lumpia, tocino, and chicken adobo. all amazing and so good! i need to come back for more. the service was just a bit slow, trying to get a servers attention was hard.

Sisig
Alexis G.

True hole in the wall! It doesn't look like much from the outside, but once you step inside you do get transported to a different cozy traditional yet modern feel. We were in the area and the husband was craving Filipino food. I've also always wanted to try crispy pata. LA Rose Cafe was the closest that popped up and we decided to just try it out and uhm!! Wow. This is real homestyle cooking with the flair. Everything was so good but of course the star of the show was the crispy pata. Tender juicy meat inside, yet crispy flaky light skin! They have all the table sauces with vinegar of course, and a special hot sauce it tasted like. Loved them all. The sizzling sisig was also one of the better that we've had. Flavors were balanced, not too fatty, retained its textures! Wish we could have ordered more to try but it was just the two of us. I'd really like to bring my dad up here so he can try the crispy pata.

Pinangat with Steak Cut Salmon
Winnie L.

This is my first time trying authentic Filipino food and I loved it! My friend and I got seated right away, service was fantastic. We stayed back for a while to catch up after paying and we weren't rushed to leave. Street parking only. There are a lot in the neighborhood. If you're lucky, you might catch someone leaving and you can get a spot just right outside the restaurant. Starting off with drinks both the calamansi juice and mango juice were great. The taste of the mango juice reminded me of Langers. The dinuguan was surprisingly my favorite. It's so hearty and pairs so well with rice. The empanadas were alright, it was a bit dry. However, the honey mustard sauce that comes with it is soo good! It definitely elevates the experience and adds that tangy flavor to each bite. We needed veggies too so we ordered the lumpiang sariwa. It was alright, I wan't a fan of it. Pinangat was amazing too. It's with a mix of flavors from salty savory, umami, and sour.

The Kare Kare from Spoon & Pork is nothing short of a warm, comforting hug in a bowl…read more When the dish arrived at my table, I was immediately drawn to its rich, golden peanut sauce -- smooth and fragrant, with a roasted nuttiness that made my mouth water before I even took a bite. Nestled in the sauce were vibrant, perfectly cooked vegetables: tender bok choy, slightly charred green beans, and slices of eggplant that had soaked up all the savory depth of the stew. At the heart of the dish lay generous chunks of beef -- fork-tender, deeply flavored, with just enough fat to melt into the sauce and give it that rich, silky mouthfeel Kare Kare is known for. Sprinkled over the top were crunchy bits, adding a satisfying contrast to every spoonful. Of course, the small side of bagoong (fermented shrimp paste) was essential -- a modest dollop transformed each bite, balancing the sweetness and creaminess of the peanut sauce with a punch of briny intensity. Paired with steaming garlic rice, every scoop felt like the perfect blend of textures and flavors, a true homage to the Filipino classic. Eating Spoon & Pork's Kare Kare felt both nostalgic and elevated -- the heart and soul of a traditional comfort food presented with an eye for freshness and balance. It's the kind of dish that makes you slow down, savor each bite, and immediately start planning your next visit.

4.5 stars. Sorry,…read moreguys - I'm still catching up on my reviews and am kicking myself for failing to write this before Spoon & Pork permanently shut its doors. This was an unforgettable eatery. During our trip to Los Angeles in May, 2023, Wendell invited Jay, Z and me to meet up with Veda and him for a late lunch at 2 PM at one of their favourite Filipino restaurants, Spoon & Pork, on Sunday, the 7th. Spoon & Pork, which originated as a food truck, was a restaurant that specialized in Filipino comfort food with a contemporary twist. They offered a fresh, inventive fusion of the flavours of the Philippines with modern sophistication. Nestled in the vibrant heart of Los Angeles' Silver Lake neighbourhood, Spoon & Pork was a cozy boutique eatery on bustling Sunset Boulevard that greeted guests with a neon pig sign at their front entrance. No private lot on this busy street, so finding nearby parking was a bit challenging and although the charming spot offered both indoor and al fresco dining, seating was also limited. The tropical-inspired dining room with warm wood accents created an effortlessly cool and relaxed atmosphere that felt both modern and rooted in tradition. Upon entry, guests were welcomed by the aroma of sizzling meats and fragrant spices which alluded to the culinary journeys to come. The food at Spoon & Pork wasn't exactly what one's nanay (mom) or lola (grandma) would cook. Celebrating fresh takes on the richness of Filipino cuisine, the menu was an invitation to indulge in unexpected, compelling twists on a thoughtfully curated selection of traditional dishes, infusing familiar flavours into new forms. Below are what we ordered: beef tapa ($25) - MASARAP (DELICIOUS)! Of all the dishes that we ordered, this was the winner of them all as the succulent meat packed a punch of flavour. adobo tofu ($14) - One of Wendell's regular orders, this notable plant-based option, was a tasty, innovative take on the Philippine classic that balanced tradition with modern creativity. laing ($9) - From their platito, small plates section, this bowl of coconut braised taro leaves was rich and creamy deliciousness, but, yes, mini in portion size. garlic rice ($4/$7) - Ordering the garlic rice over plain jasmine rice was a no brainer. Thoroughly infused with the savouriness of the many bits of garlic, this rice perfectly paired with all of the other dishes. bistek ($28) - The skirt steak was very tender and the sauce perfectly balanced the tanginess from the calamansi juice with the savoury soy sauce. lechon kawali ($23) - Another reimagined classic dish featuring crispy, golden pork belly with crunchy skin and tender, flavourful meat inside. The dish was complemented by a tangy, pickled red cabbage that enhanced the crispy texture and added a refreshing contrast. This mastery of flavour and texture tickled Z's tastebuds and won him over. Before this day, Z was never a fan of Filipino food. Everything tasted boldly rich and every bit intensely intoxicated our taste buds. Service was quick, friendly, and attentive. What a remarkably epicurean feast and delightful experience we enjoyed! We're super bummed that Spoon & Pork permanently closed shoppe. Z and I were hoping to return for another tasty meal. Truly, a worthy spot this place was to hit up for an impressively creative taste of the Philippines in Los Angeles.

At first, the experience can feel a little overwhelming with the open grills, karaoke playing in the background, and the lines of people waiting to grab food. However, I would absolutely say it is worth the wait. The tables turn over fairly quickly, so it does not take long before seats start opening up. Even while waiting in line, one of the workers running the karaoke setup stood outside greeting guests and striking up conversations by asking questions like, "Where are you traveling from?" and "Is this your first time visiting us?" She had such a great personality that it genuinely made my family's experience even more enjoyable. Once you get inside, you grab a tray and start picking out whichever skewers and sticks you want to eat. After paying, you head outside to the grill area where you warm up and char the BBQ skewers yourself. One small thing to keep in mind is paying attention to which direction the smoke is blowing so you do not accidentally end up standing directly in it. The food tasted great once everything was grilled and ready to eat. I would also highly recommend getting some vinegar on the side since the acidity complements the meats really well. Overall, if you are looking for a family-oriented place that makes people feel welcomed regardless of where they come from, I would highly recommend stopping by to experience their hospitality.

So it was difficult for me to pay for 1/4 of the portion, that's not homemade and in a busy restaurant. We ordered the veggie salad ($16), the half inasal chicken ($28), Lechon ($25), branzino ($34), garlic fried rice ($6), a small single serving of spicy vinegar ($2.50), I can buy a bottle of this spicy vinegar at the store for $2.50. mango coconut sago dessert ($14). Everything was OK, I've had a lot better, but it was worth trying. It made me realize how much I appreciate my best friend and her family and her extended family. I would rather drive 15 minutes West of Chinatown to Filipino town and get homemade Filipino food, made by people who love their culture and food with better portions and quarter of the price. But I did make a promise to my friend that I would go and try it out. And no, I will not go again, ever.
