    Longsilong no egg gave it a good try but it's spoiled | rotten meat.
    Chris W.

    TLDR -Its 11am you don't have half the stuff on the menu listed [ another customer came asking for specific things don't have it either.] If you don't have it tell us what you don't have or have no point in having a menu that big. -not to mention the cashier had to ask or check for the 2 thing we wanted initially coming in. - ordered stated to have no egg for the order that comes with eggs. Its longailong plate how do you not have eggs? Food: - got it to go the food is horrible and it felt like I'm eating something that was spoiled old meat being reheated come on it's calgaretta it's. - long silog spoiled and 100% rotten and old. -rice under cooked old? I don't even know why it tastes like that. - 2 plates total about 38 or something. Overall don't bother coming here & personally this spot need to be inspected. I don't care if you are a small family own business if you serve me not even decent spoiled food yeah it's a no go for me. I wouldn't care if you don't have what I have initially wanted but at least serve me decent food.....

    Filipino 101. This is nice and creative.

    Food was delicious, cook to order. Service is great. Although not greeted at the door, cashier was patient. Ambiance is good for a Saturday, surprisingly not busy but I mean it's a mom and pop shop hidden in Fontana. I'm from San Diego born and raised so Filipino food is abundant over there. However papababes kitchen is on point. Despite the previous reviews a year ago. I think this spot deserves more credit. My fiance and I ordered 3pc chicken meal and 3pc pork meal, 2 bibinka and 2 Thai teas(Thai tea were legit not the powdered stuff you get from few boba spots) . Overall l, my fiancé loved all the food and drinks served today. I enjoyed their food as well. I will be back soon!

    Bangus and the Lechon were spot on! So many things to go back and try more! Also the staff was great.

    Came in on a weekday, not busy at all. Walked in and was greeted Very spacious and clean. There are tables and chairs to dine in. A lot of items to choose from. The only thing I didn't like, we ordered the kawali and it wasn't crispy at all. I had to airfry when we got home. The had three different sauces which were good. The bibikq was good, loved the salted egg and prices were decent.

    Lechon Kawai
    Kosoma J.

    This little hole in the wall place is literally down the street from me and I dream about their Lechon Kawai all the time lol . The food is always good and fresh here! The service is ok here, I wish they were a little more welcoming especially if it's not as busy. Only reason I gave it 4 star I've had their beef stick and lumpia but their best is the lechon Kawai I love eating it fresh and hot where and their rice is so seasoned. If you are looking for a Filipino spot, this is the place

    Pork Liempo

    Not a big place but very big on service and food flavor and quality. At home comfortable ambiance. Shannon took good care of us. Warm and friendly to every customer. Ordered pork liempo, pinakbet, sisig and taho for dessert Name of the place have changed but food quality, flavor and service remained as good as it was a year ago. Still deserves my five star and come back visit.

    I was surprised to find a Filipino spot nearby. I found this place randomly on yelp and decided to try them out. The food was good. The bbq chicken had a lot of flavor the first time we had it but the following week and it tasted a little different but still not bad. The java rice was the same, good the first time but tasted different and dry the following week. We went here twice and wanted to try the chicken inasal but they keep running out of it. I'll return again because i would want to eventually try the chicken inasal but also see if the flavor is consistent. Their pricing isn't too bad and I'd recommend it for a Filipino bbq fix that's nearby. They don't have a big sign up but hopefully my picture helps people find the place

    Love, love, love the grilled milkfish! This is a sure stop for us whenever we are in this area. Service is always amazing, and i love that the meat is not super salty . Additionally, i don't know what ingredients they have in the rice but i love it! It is not just the plain steamed rice.

    I found this gem of a place on Yelp searching for a barbecue place near me. I ordered the 3 pcs. Pork bbq meal, the boneless bangus meal, and two crispy patas over the phone for pickup. The service was excellent and friendly. The server and cook were very helpful explaining what other food items they have. The food quality was excellent and very tasteful. The price is very reasonable and the food portions were generous. Definitely will be coming back to try and enjoy their other dishes.

    Pork Sisig - solo size $11
    Ces C.

    I wasn't even searching for a Filipino food but this place came up top of the list closest to where I was during a random resto search. Since I don't know of any Filipino food around Fontana area, I couldn't wait to try! I called in my orders for pick up. We tried the ff: 1. Pork bbq stick 3 pieces meal - delish! 2. Chilean sea bass meal - delish! 3. Solo pork sisig - delish! (tasted authentic) 3. Taho - delish! 4. Halo-halo delish! Well, let me tell you..everything was DELICIOUS! Prices were reasonable and good portions. I hope we support this place and that the quality of food remains. I will definitely spread out the good word and I hope you guys try it too. Happy tummy!

    Stir fry white squash

    It's a small Filipino restaurant in Fontana. My husband and I came for dinner after watching a movie. They offered grilled bbq meat fresh to cook if you ordered. We ordered grilled salmon collar and stir fry white squash with ground beef. Both were tasty and salmon was cooked well. Dessert was halo halo very refreshing. Be back again

    The food is great! My ONLY suggestion is to ORDER YOUR FOOD ahead of time. The wait is atleast from 20-30 minutes from the ordering.

She text me back very quickly to complete my order request and we set a pick up time. SAME DAY. I just got home and ate 2 of them. And I don't think I'll be able to stop myself from finishing the whole tray. Ahaha thank you Anna for the treats that taste like home. Will be back for at least one of everything from the menu.

    Unforgettable Filipino kakanin -- worth the wait!…read more We recently placed a pre-order from Anna's Kitchen in Rancho Cucamonga, and I just have to say -- WOW. Every bite was worth it. The cassava with macapuno was the true standout. It's the kind of kakanin that stays with you -- the flavor lingers long after you've finished your slice. It has thick layers of macapuno, and the topping reminded me of yema -- sweet, creamy, and just addictive. It's easily one of the best cassava cakes I've ever had. Her leche flan was just as impressive. So smooth, silky, and melt-in-your-mouth good. As someone who also cooks, I can tell this was made with so much care -- probably strained multiple times to get that perfect texture. It's the kind of leche flan that doesn't even need a special occasion to enjoy -- it is the occasion. Anna's Kitchen is a hidden gem for anyone craving authentic, thoughtfully made Filipino desserts. Just be prepared to pre-order -- they're made fresh, and absolutely worth the wait.

    Nice selection of Filipino groceries, things you can't find elsewhere like frozen cassava,…read morelonganiza, tocino, kalamansi, bagoong etc. The store is adjacent to a small café (Dessert Anatomy) that also sells halo-halo, and if you order hot food you can eat it at the tables there if there is no room in the regular seating area. The hot food is good, I had the goat kaldareta (kaldaretang kambing) and bistec and both were excellent. It's nice to find a local place that serves nice fresh homestyle Filipino cuisine. They rotate the menu daily so there is always some decent variety. I'm excited to return and try something else.

The place is tiny... like "don't blink or you'll miss aisle two" tiny, but it's kind of a hidden gem if you're hunting for Filipino and Indonesian goodies. It's basically a Southeast Asian crossover episode in grocery form. They've got hot food too, but I showed up already full like a fool, so that'll have to be a future me problem. As for service... let's just say it stays true to the classic no-frills Filipino market vibe, friendliness is very minimal to non-existent. You're not here for small talk... you're here to grab your stuff, maybe discover a mystery ingredient, and get out. Mission mostly accomplished.

    OOOUUU BABY!!!! If you're reading this, get your taste buds going and start getting your order…read moreready. You will not regret it! First of all, let's start with the soon-to-be-world-famous Cebu Style Steam Rice. It's literally a flavor explosion in every bite. There is no lack of flavor in that heavenly gravy. It is soooooooooo tasty - if you decide to order anything from her, please get this!!! THE LECHON KAWALI IS ANOTHER BANGER I'M TELLIN YA! The flavor of the pork is 1000000/10. Crispy and moist. This dish is not for those who are "on a diet." But if you are, this is definitely one of those cheat meals. DO NOT SLEEP ON HER LECHON KAWALI! Next up - Grilled Rib Eye + Mashed Potatoes. If you like meat and potatoes, just order it. Please. Just do it. I'm literally still dreaming about the way she seasoned the meat! Low key I think it's way tastier than any steak house out there - treat yourself with this deliciousness! Fettuccine Alfredo Chicken, oh my word please Cianni, my stomach can only expand so much!!! BUT THIS WAS ALSO SO DELICIOUS TOO!! You have magical hands that season your food so perfectly. Oh man, it's sooooo flavorful and much better than any other alfredo's I've had. If ever you need a taste tester for your food, just hire me. Make me your apprentice! Dessert time! Puto Maya + Sikwate - what I love about it is that it's not too sweet. I love how she uses the red rice. The chocolate sauce is to die for though, I'm literally drinking it out of the cup it came in. Bahahah this is my most favorite way to consume carbs!! YUMMY IN MY TUMMY! Can't wait to try the rest of your menu!
