    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

    Lechon kawali (crispy skin & moist meat)
    Joe P.

    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.

    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.

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

    Really good, definitely coming back! For my first time trying Filipino food, it was a good experience. I ate everything in the picture.

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. It was solid...first time eating yellow curry (tasted just like the japanese style) at a Filipino restaurant.

I love that this shop offers both savory food and sweets, so definitely come hungry. The service was quick and friendly, and the interior made me feel like I was transported straight to the Philippines. Pro tip: stop by around 1 pm-3 pm for a great 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.

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. The bakery also has other options for desserts and serve fresh pandesal (sweet bread) daily. If you have a craving for Filipino dessert I highly recommend San Honoré Panderia!

Rarely, I purchased hot food from a supermarket, especially Filipino food. I am a Filipino chef and this day I needed specific food that every Filipino restaurant serves. Pansit, pork, adobo, barbecue, chicken, skewers, and Shanghai lumpia. Of course they had these items, maybe it was too late in the day, however, if they followed, serve safe rules this food would've been OK. The pansit was spoiled you could smell it before you even picked up the box they were serving in. The chicken skewers were burnt, and still she offered to pack them up for me. Although the pork adobo was in the heating plate, you could tell it wasn't heated at the right temperature and there were only a few pieces and she was gonna pack it up as a full order. That's a no-no. By this time, I didn't even wanna ask about the lumpia. Somebody please check their food how dare them offer rancid, spoiled food. It's very comical because I look like your average white girl, but I'm actually quite fluent in Tagalog since my father was from the Philippines. It's easy to think that we don't understand what you're saying, but I understood everything.

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).
