    This place is located inside of a Filipino grocery store. I will say, for the most part, this place is consistent. The service is mediocre. They will give you large portions but rarely are they smiling. Half the time they have an ear bud in their ears. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside is busy, but again it's a grocery store. Air conditioning is nice but it gets loud during the busy time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is decent. That's all about timing as are most places like this. You show up during the lunch hour, food will be hot and fresh. Show up after or top early, not so much. Overall: this place is 3 stars. A decent quick bite if you're in a rush, but not my first "go to".

    I enjoyed the food here- great flavor and excellent serving size! Sweet and helpful staff as well! Will totally come here regularly now. Reminds me of my trip in the phillipines :))

    I revisited Pillshouse inside Island Pacific Seafood Market recently, reminiscing about the awesome food I had years ago. Unfortunately, this time around, my experience was mixed. We opted for grilled fish and barbecue grilled chicken sticks, both of which showed promise in flavor but fell short in execution. While the chicken sticks could have been cooked longer for a better texture, they still delivered decent taste. However, the disappointment came with the eggrolls and fried chicken. The eggrolls were soggy, cold, and lacked the desired crunch, while the fried chicken, despite boasting great flavor, arrived disappointingly cold, took the enjoyment out of the food. Despite the enticing display behind the glass, our food failed to live up to expectations, arriving cold and consequently lacking in enjoyment. While I would be willing to give Pillshouse another chance and explore different menu options, the inconsistency in food temperature and quality leaves much to be desired. Customer service was great The cashier was just wonderful. There is dining table for you to eat inside or take food to go. My total came up to $33.04 not bad

    The long line on Wednesdays is because there's a promo, BOGO, and that's why the line is long. The food is average and just conveniently located near my house.

    Before I go shopping at a Filipino mkt, I try to eat at the deli first. This practice allows me to indulge in Flip food that is not prevalent in HB. It also prevents me from buying too much. This PhilHouse is located inside the LBC Island Pacific, similar to the set up in Lake Forest. They offer a lot of hot items inc goat, and their popular combo is two bbq skewers (chicken or pork), w/ rice, pancit or half & half and one side dish. The items we had were very good. The pork skewers (sorry, no pic) were nicely seasoned and the meat was tender. The rice & pancit portion was enuf for two, and the sinigang we had as a side was tart, and inc a pompano head. Lastly, the lechon kawali was crispy and the meat was moist. The staff was nice and there is a small area to enjoy your food. But a rec to help sell more items, and to get the line moving faster is to label the items, and have a menu that tells you what sides are inc in the combo. The person helping us assembled the bbq skewers portion of our meal. But then he disappeared. The cashier was left to fill our lechon order. We would have ordered more had there been dedicated staff to fill the other sides we were interested in. All in all, a positive experience that would make me return. I think the LBC Island Pacific will be my go to for Flip foodstuffs bc it is so conveniently located off the 405.

    Great service and the service is wonderful I live their food and very tasty.... I'll come back again

    Chicken inasal

    Delicious and nutritious, I ordered a variety of items during their buy one get one free day and my family was able to enjoy. I hope they can open around Harbor City, maybe at that old Rite Aid in front of Kaiser Hospital.

    First time trying Filipino food -- I don't remember what I got, but it was really good!! I'll definitely be coming back!

All the cakes are prebaked and packaged, but one can come in to have it decorated with custom lettering while you wait. While we waited, we also ordered two other things that we all love from here: their shanghai style egg rolls (25 pieces for $21) and their miki bihon pancit (medium, enough to feed a family, for $21). We've tried a lot of different version from different places all over, and have come to the conclusion that we like the version at Gemmae's, the best (as long as for my wife, they skip adding patis to the pancit). They also have a turo turo steam table here. The yellow curry chicken caught my eye, so got a small container of that.

Their bread and pastries are always good quality and very nostalgic. Even though I'm not a Filipino, the flavor of their goodies are very similar to where I'm from. I think I might have tried (almost) all stuff they have in store. Some of my favorites are bibingkas (never go wrong with this), any weekend special donuts (ube or cream "cheese" filled donuts), ube cheez pandesal and cakes. I also like their pop tarts but they usually get sold out pretty fast. Their staff are always nice and personable. Check their instagram for any special items or any other updates (such as if they're sold out fast, or if there's any discount or if there's a long line). I'd suggest to eat their bread items on the day of. The other non-bread stuff are still good even after a few days.

I don't understand what's the hype about? The goodies were al dry and not fluffy. I have had better baked goods that were home made and more flavorful. I don't think I will be back. Other Filipino bakeries are way better and home made stuff are even better. TRUST.

Easy to have multiple in one setting, so be careful For eats, be sure to try the Swordfish Katsu - perfectly breaded and adorned with pan-seared peaches, kale and aoli. Union is intentional from interior design to its menu, with a staff that is eager and ready to make sure you have the best experience. Shoutout to Sarah on staff, she felt like visiting a friend in their new city as she truly showed us around as if we've known her for years. In my heart, I initially wanted to gate-keep this spot but I truly want everyone to experience this gem, hidden in the Zaferia neighborhood of good ole Long Beach! If Manuela (in Hauser + Wirth DTLA) had a baby, Union would be its down-to earth first born. Excited to try some of the art classes and wellness offerings also located in the Compound and check out new exhibits over the coming months.

My favorite items are their BIBINGKA and TAHO. Bibingka is a thick coconut rice cake with a cream cheese center. Their bibingka is baked and flavored to perfection! It has the right amount of sweetness and texture when you bite into it! So delicious! I typically eat it warm and pair it with my morning coffee. Taho is a sweet dessert made from soft tofu, brown sugar, and sago (tapioca pearls). You can have it warm or cold. Very simple and tasty.

My wife, her mom, and I stopped in for lunch and we really enjoyed it. My wife and I had stopped into Edna's a long time ago when we first moved to Long Beach, so it was time for a refresher. My wife and her mom shop at the nearby Tambuli for Asian groceries, so knew the parking wouldn't be too difficult in this part of town. The steam tables were jam packed with food, freshly prepared that morning, and there were some things I had not tried before. Thus, was nice to come with other folks. It took me a while to decide. The first steam table had 9 entrees: - Mom wanted Pinakbet which she later stated was good. - large strips of Lechon were chopped for you when ordered, and was a good addition to share. - other dishes included Kambing (available everyday), Pinapaitan, and Kaldereta (made with goat so we skipped it). The second steam table had 10 entrees: - Adobong Pusit - baby squid with adobo and squid ink sauce. I've come to realize that most Filipino restaurants don't have the time to remove the innards (guts and cartilage, which I've found to be inedible) while keeping the ink sacs, as they cook it. So I did it manually while eating, making this a finger food dish (very messy). Went great with the white rice, though. Mom made a good point that some folks consider it edible, similar to the shell of shrimps. - also chose the sinigang with pompano, since bangus was only available deep fried. Every entree with come with a cup of the soup, but if ordered as a choice, will come with a choice of fish piece (head, middle, or tail). The soup was good, very sour (which is how I like it) and not oily. -- final choice was Chicharon Bulaklak, deep fried pork intestines using the fatty mesentery tissues, to produce a flowery looking finger food. It came in a paper bag. It was the first time I tried it, and I liked it, though too greasy to have more than one piece. -- other choices were deep fried bangus, deep fried smelt, boiled peanuts, and a decent selection of sweet rice flour desserts. The ladies manning the steam tables were very friendly, and were receptive when I asked for a sample of the fried smelt dish. Servings were generous, and often came in separate soup containers to make eating easier. There is a large dining room with simple seating, and self bussing. It's a tried-and-true set-up that works well at other point-point places (so many in the area). Ended up getting two 2-combo plates ($14 each), served with white rice. Added 1/3 pound of Lechon Kawali for $6.48, which we all shared. In general the food was good, in large quantities, and presented with pride. Canned refrigerated sodas are only $1, so got cans of Sprite, Sunkist, and Squirt (maybe my favorite mass produced soda of all time).
