    I have been supporting this location for years now in person and more recently on DoorDash. Food is hot and yummy satisfying my Filipino food cravings when needed. Going to the store in person is much more special to pick up some of your favorite snacks, noodles, and ice cream to take home.

    Pork Sinigang.

    Never again! My DoorDash order of Pork Sinigang today, was beyond HORRIBLE, it was downright GROSS AND INEDIBLE! However, if you like old reheated...so much that the pork was shredded and lacked vegetables, this is your place! I am not of Asian descent, however, my homemade Sinigang, will put this establishment to shame. I mean, where is the daikon and okra? Your green beans were too soft to even eat!

    We moved to Oakley almost a month ago and we were surprised to see a Filipino store in Brentwood. We thought we had to drive down to Pittsburgh to get to the nearest Filipino store. The place is not that big compared to the well-known stores. It's just a small mom-and-pop store like a sari-sari store. However, it has several items that you might need for your kitchen and other Filipino items. My wife wanted to make halo halo and we found the items to make it. We also bought a Magnolia Ube ice cream. They also have several cooked Filipino foods. We didn't buy one but I was browsing around the store and the food looks good. We might try them once we come back. I also noticed frozen items like lumpia, purefood hotdogs, tapa, longaniza, etc. I was surprised to see several items that they sell in a small store. We don't have to drive far just to fill up on our cooking essentials, snacks, and other Filipino items you see from a big-name store. We were able to talk to the owner and she was very sweet and nice. The service was excellent and they asked us what we needed. If you need some Filipino essentials and you live in Brentwood or Oakley, come down to Mabuhay before taking a longer drive to Pittsburg.

    My wife and I wanted to taste the pork adobo. Our favorite Filipino catering is in Milpitas. Hoping that the dish would taste the same or even better so we don't need to commute. Good: The staff were very nice. Store is clean and organized. Bad: Pork adobo was just okay. If someone asked me to taste without knowing what it is, I would never thought it was adobo. The store felt really cramped which would be bad if it was crowded. Overprice Honestly, I would not come back and try other dishes.

    Birthday boy with his Kamayan for his party.

    Threw my son a surprise 21st birthday. Menu was one of the first things I locked in...Boodle Fight aka kamayan. Since we were hosting it out of my bffs house in Antioch I needed to find a place that offered what I needed. I wasn't going to have time to taste several spots, so the photos and reviews on Yelp were going to need to come in clutch. I called on Thursday and was able to make my order over the phone. The party was Saturaday. I ordered the following: 1. 50 veggie lumpias 2. Large tray of menudo 3. Large tray of rice 4. Large tray of pancit bihon 5. 2 fried tilapia 6. Large tray of chicken afritada 7. Small tray of pinkabet 8. Small tray of chop suey I then went in a few hours after making my order over the phone because I needed to confirm the sizes of the trays to see if I needed to increase my order. I was pleased with the portion sizes. We even left with a halo halo. The halo halo did the trick bit was missing more beans, coconut strips, pieces of Leche flan and a sprinkle of pinipig. Although, maybe I'm used to the elevated Halo Halo's. The place is a store/catering kitchen. Although they do have a small buffet of already cooked food you can choose from if you just want a plate of stuff. Think Goldilocks. They also have a frozen food section with frozen staples as well as frozen lumpias you can take home to cook. I went on Saturday at 11 and my order was ready. The chipper gentleman at the counter who greeted me even helped wheel out all the trays on a cart and helped load them in the car. He even gave specific warnings of which trays we needed to ensure we didn't tilt as it had sauce that would definitely drip. The warning was very much appreciated. All the food was delicious. No complaints from either myself or guests. It was all fresh. Flavors were on point. My only not even complaint just it was different that the menudo was not diced as I'm used to. The flavor profile of the menudo was on point, I'm just used to a dish wherein all the ingredients are bite sized so you get the perfect bite with each spoonful. I'll be back if I'm carving food, don't feel like cooking it and am in town.

I was very disappointed when I finally made it to this place. -Closed on mondays wtf really -Not friendly (and I'm a filipino) Snobby people if you ask me. -Selection is bare. They don't have many selections of items. -Food is the same stagnant food that sits around for people to buy. Not fresh at all. -Store layout sucks. You kind of get in the way of people when going to their refrigerator. To be honest if you are looking for a filipino store you should stop by a different market if you are in the area of a different town. -Antioch has Mabuhay on buchanan road, there is also one on contra loma next to the save mart. -Pittsburg has Lucy's on Railroad ave and Atlantic -Bay Point has Manila Plaza -Concord has sea food city and 99 ranch I'm all for helping out filipino stores out but only the ones that are worth the time.

The restaurant is also a store at the same time, where you can pick up some Filipino staples from Mang Tomas, Magnolia Ice Cream to Moby (junkfood). They have a small seating area where you can eat but the hubby and I usually just order food to go. We don't know and can't cook Filipino food so to get our Filipino food fix we go to this place and we are happy that there is now a Filipino rest in Oakley/Brentwood area. Tip: You can call the restaurant and ask them what their menu for the day is- this helps us in deciding whether to go or not.

From the moment I started ordering, he became visibly irritated whenever I asked a question about the menu. I simply wanted to know whether the mixed meat plate included beef, but because I had trouble understanding his accent, I politely asked him to repeat himself. Instead of answering calmly, he raised his voice at me multiple times. I eventually gave up and told him to disregard my question because I felt so uncomfortable. Unfortunately, it didn't stop there. After I paid, the people behind me had to wait around 15 minutes while he took a phone order. During that call, the customer was trying to place a catering order and also had trouble understanding him. Rather than being patient, he repeatedly yelled at the top of his lungs. There was a line of customers watching the entire interaction, and I honestly felt secondhand embarrassment for the woman on the phone he had her on speaker so everyone heard everything. Once he finished, the next customer had a few questions about the pricing, and he responded with the same rude and impatient attitude. It seemed like he was frustrated anytime someone asked a simple question. Customer service requires patience and professionalism, and unfortunately, he showed neither. I really enjoyed L&L's food, but this experience made me make the decision to never support a business like this again. I sincerely hope management addresses this because no customer should be made to feel uncomfortable for asking basic questions or be yelled at like 5 year olds.
