Let me get to the Point...Point Joint! Point-point in Tagalog is "turo-turo," these types of Filipino establishments are common for those wanting to eat their food fast or on the go. This Filipino fast food place is located off Santa Monica and Vermont, in the Staples and Rite Aid shopping center. The chicharron is my favorite! I can't get enough of the crispy pork goodness! The service is fast, TFC available, and there was even complimentary coffee. I also enjoyed the tocino and pancit. If you want to eat a late dinner, they will only allow takeout after 8pm. To get your fast Filipino fix, then make it a point to go to Point Point Joint. read more

I'm admittedly not very knowledgeable about Filipino food at all, but I'm open to anything. When an actual Filipino I know offered to take me here for breakfast and was excited to go, I figured it had to be somewhat legit. This place is in a strip mall with other Filipino restaurants/stores, and is easily overlooked if you don't know about it. It opens early and had a good-sized before-work crowd. It's set up almost cafeteria-style, with an ordering counter, Styrofoam plates and containers, trays, and a TV with Filipino morning news. It's not a place to take a date or linger with friends, and it's not much for decor, but it's a great place to stop by for fast comfort food, on a quick lunch break, or to get some food to go. It was set up Panda-Express style of serving dishes behind a glass counter. An entire wall of the restaurant is dedicated to packaged snacks for sale. The portions were huge (I didn't eat for the rest of the day) and prices were reasonable. We ordered the dasilog and tapsilog, both breakfast dishes. The former is fried fish and the latter is quick-fried beef strips, both of which have a unique sweetness to them that works well. Each is served with garlic rice and fried eggs, and doused with garlic vinegar that you get from the condiment station. The names themselves are words that are built from a combination of the different items, and are used to describe the breakfast dishes. And there you have it, Filipino breakfast foods explained (poorly, I'm sure) by a white girl. I really, really enjoyed the food. It was a hearty, filling breakfast and definitely something different, but still comfortingly breakfast-y. I don't even really like rice, but finished the garlic rice because it was so good. The beef and fish were juicy, well-seasoned, and had lots of flavor. I'd come back any time! read more

Better than Manila Good Ha on Wilshire, wish I could give it 4.5 stars. They had many choices and quite a few I've never seen before, I think the ladies there were half amused at my faulty accent when trying to pronounce the names of the dishes. The Embutido was a little dry, but other than that, everything was excellent and not to greasy/oily which I know can be a trait most of these Filipino food chains have. The fresh juice drinks is a MUST have. We tried one of each, the Cantaloupe and the Coconut (well, I THINK it was Coconut, but nonetheless it was SOOOO delicious!) I loved that there was such a variety of dishes. Some of the places I've been to the dishes are all pork or chicken based. Point Point Joint had seafood, vegetarian, beef, pork, and chicken dishes... yay for choices! The portions are quite large, between the 3 of us we shared two "Mixed" plates... a 2 entree and a 3 entree. Two fresh fruit juice drinks plus our food was less than $20. YES! They accept credit cards for purchase over $10 with a 50 cent charge fee. We bought some snacks to take home later. Shrimp crackers, milk candies, and the empanadas. We were a little turned off that a little kid was running around in there without any pants on. Why is he out in public without any pants? Come on parents, this isn't a fancy joint, but pants should be required for everyone. We did enjoy the game show on TV, 'Questune' - too bad I could not understand any of it as I grew up speaking Cebuano not Tagalog. Will be back again though, for the yummy food! read more

This tasty little place was a pleasant surprise. I don't get the opportunity to each much Filipino food, and if I had known it could be so tasty and comfort-food-y, I'm sure I'd have eaten more of it. The set-up is buffet style behind glass. Their beef soup has a clean, clear broth, and is perfectly seasoned. The Chicken Adobo was as flavorful as one could hope for, and the pork kebab was, by far, my favorite thing there. My rice noodles were a little cold, but tasty. With this cold weather, I'll be back soon and often! Full reviews and photos at www.strictlyfoodie.com read more

This same lady/owner that eats using her hands out of the trays brings her dog pet; this dog barks inside, and after petting her dog goes to grab food from the trays? That's unacceptable. Owners, please guide this young lady, that's not the correct protocol to handle food. read more

I'm a fan, it took a little over 2hrs by bus to get here but it was worth it! Havent had Filipino food since I moved out of my mothers place. The Adobo (my favorite dish) was very tasty and had a strong flavor, which to me is awesome! Also got the Hawaiian chicken thing, forgot what its called in Tagalog. Fail on my part haha. The area: grungy area but next to a giant staples (i think) and near Yogurt land as well. Seating: Plenty The door: haha yeah the door it only goes inward so dont push out when your exiting. Owners? : Really friendly and are quick to serve people The prices: THE PRICES! AWESOMEEEE low and worth it! TV: filipino channels (not sure how many) I'll be back there for sure to try more dishes! read more

Delicious food. Great prices. Friendly staff They also let you sample new foods. I really enjoy the vibe here and grub. Highly recommendable read more

Definitely my go-to for fast Filipino food! And hands down, the best lechon kawali in town! And the lechon sauce is a little special too! The garlic rice in the morning for breakfast is fabulous. Get it with some tapa and tocino with a sunny side egg on top, and you're all set! If you're lucky, they might have pork barbecue already made...and you should get it! I've been going for years, and I'm sorry that I never remember everyone's name in there.:( But they are all awesome! read more

This has been in my bookmarks so I decided to finally give it a try because I was craving home food. And it didn't disappoint. Like at last, I've found the closest garlic rice my mom would make. It tasted so good unlike the others I've tried since moving here. The sunny side up eggs are cooked nicely. Not to runny and not too hard. Kinda like the texture of boiled eggs in ramen. It's also how my mom makes it which I love. The pork tocino is also good but next time I'll request for a less serving of it because it's too many for me lol but I just think heavy eaters such as my bro would like it. The lumpiang shanghai is okay, reminded me of bday party handaan. The ube milk, new fave. Lastly, the mais con hielo is also very goood, perfect as a dessert. All these reminded me of home so will definitely come back again. I might've found a place for comfort food. read more

Please do not take this the wrong way but I am sure a lot if you have been to a Filipino restaurant better than this one. I gave it 2 stars because #1 it was overpriced #2no display of combos they're selling #3 the lady who served me seems to disregard the way of properly packing my order to go. I ordered 3 pieces of fish(milkfish) and she don't bother to ask me which ones (all tails She packed ) ---when I got home the fish was fried in old oil from frying something else---. She puts them on aluminum foil just as it is. And then I ordered another side dish of veggies medium size and wraps it on a seram wrap without putting any lid on it. When she handed me the bag, the container already tipped over. While watching her packed my food, this other lady got her order to go on a better container that fitted everything. I was definitely hesitating and my mind was telling me just to cancel my order but I ddnt want to come off a b so I went ahead and just went on with my order. I just felt like the lady was not willing to help me out to begin with. Overall I don't think ill ever go back to this place again. I am reading OThEr about using a card and I must've went on a bad day because as Some bought items less than $10 with no charge, the lady charged mine??? ..What kind of business is this showing? read more

I don't usually go to this Filipino place, but when here anyway. The food selection varied so that was a plus. I wasn't happy about their prices though. I don't like how they price everything per item depending on what you get rather than there being a combination special or w/e. I'd come back here though despite that; I just don't know when. Btw 50 cents per scoop of rice that is pretty small too I might add. read more

and yes after a week , we're back and brought the kids too. got the same order and got free sinigang soup and an extra side of longganisa.. didn't hurt to ask.the spicy vinegar was the bomb.i need to go back and try the sinaing na tulingan( the batangeno in me says so) and i love gata so i need to try the bicol express too( the bicolano in my bf says so too) .. service was vgood . they are very nice and welcoming .. from chatsworth to buena park .. this is definitely worth a stop. read more

Always have a good amount of food selections! Service is always good! TFC is always on! Clean! Good homestyle cooking! I'd like to point out that their chairs are quite uncomfortable! read more

Straight forward Filipino food, I love ordering their lumpia shanghai, a small meat egg roll that's always a hit and very easy to grab and bring to a party. 30 bucks for 100. Sometimes they sell out or are too backed up and will have to turn you down if you order too late lesson learned. My fiancé loves the tapsilog I'm a sucker for dinuguan because blood is delicious. :) read more

Point Point just keeps getting better. They were a typical cafeteria-style Filipino at the start (and for years before we resided in this area), then they added lechon to the menu and the place took off--they couldn't keep up with the demand! Well, now their production of lechon has finally exceeded the demand, so, to utilize the leftovers, they've added lechon sisig to their menu, and it's fantastic. I've had sisig at some of the best places in the Philippines (especially at Trellis, who specializes in sisig but The Hobbit House's was nearly as good, and spicy--I liked that) and have had better in Chicago, but this is by far the best sisig I've had on the West Coast so far. Point-Point-Joint is reborn! Try the sisig and you'll be hooked. read more

My experience with Point Point Joint Restaurant was quite the little rollercoaster. I began with a positive curiosity because I've been wanting to try another filipino restaurant for lunch. When I stepped into the doors, I felt unwelcome and honestly, it was kind of discouraging. The woman working at the time had such a serious/ stern demeanor and it was kind of intimidating. I found that they didn't have a few of my favorites which was extremely disappointing but they did have other selections that I do enjoy. She didn't provide me with any prices (which I requested) but for $10, I definitely got my fill. The chicken adobo looked a bit anemic at first but it was delicious. The longanisa was downright amazing! The most disappointing item was the SUPER COLD Bbq pork. She recommended it to me so I think she was just pushing out the items that have been sitting out. It would be completely unfortunate if this were the case. Without a doubt, I would be more inclined to come back if it weren't due to the fact that there are other Filipino restaurants that I favor in the vicinity. Overall, still a pretty enjoyable meal. read more

Point Point Joint - Chicken adobo, bbq pork, pork longanisa and of course, rice. $10.87 - Filipino Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The food and service are always great here. I want everything everyone. The lechón is a must.

This is a wonderful spot to go get food, especially during these times of sheltering in. I got the sisig fries, which are delicious. Really, this is a place to go and point to what you want. Whatever you see online for ordering, is not the same as if you just went in to order. During these times you have to be flexible. I called for sisig fries and told them when I'd be coming by. It was ready when I got there, and there was a wide variety of goods for me to take home as well. The food was delicious, and the service was quick. Be aware, this is not the kind of place you go for a healthy, fiber filled meal. So come here for comfort foods and lots of meat! read more

My Go-To filipino breakfast place. You get a silog plate for only $9, which is two scoops of rice, two fried eggs, and a small entree of your choice (i believe coffee is free with a purchase of a plate but you need to ask for it). I usually get the tosilog not until I've tried their tapsilog which I think is way better than other filipino breakfast places. Their tapa is not dry nor overcooked compared to all the ones i've tried in my life. read more

Terrible food ! This place is a disappointment. I got the binagooan was tough and had a weird taste. Tortang talong tasted terrible. I do not recommend this place at all . Two thumbs down read more

This place is awesome...accept when it comes to ordering Pancit noodles. I'm use to the rice noodles...which are super delicious. What sucks is that you may receive regular noodles instead of rice noodles...depending on which type they make per day. That sucks and this my last time ordering from this company read more

I just don't like the fact that there's Covid19 and so much you don't wanna be going outside, I had asked before going to this place if they have lechon kawali and the lady said yes but when I got there and place the order they said it's still cooking it and it will take an hour to finish. Do you believe that. I mean it's not like they're so busy with a lot of customers. I was the only one there. Unbelievable. I like Filipino food but if this is the service I get I'd rather not go here and give the service somewhere else. Good food is okay but great service is what we're looking for. read more

I'm so bummed. I recently just got food delivered from here and was really excited to try the pancit because I've been craving it for a while. I also got the lumpia and a bbq chicken skewer. By the time my food got here it was literally freezing. I had to microwave everything to make it even slightly warm. The top picture is what other reviews on here looked like and their menu picture looked like for their pancit, vermicelli rice noodles with chicken and veggies like the description says, the bottom pic is what I received. Completely different dish. Different noodles, hardly any veggies and no chicken. It tasted like plastic I couldn't even finish it. The lumpia was ok after warming them up but I'm really disappointed overall read more

I'm not the cook... so u mean to tell me u don't know what's on your own menu? .. I guarantee you could ask the bathroom cleaner at a McDonald's what's in a Big Mac and they could answer... horrible customer service extremely rude ... the food isn't worth dealing with bad service read more

I ordered from Point Point Joint today through Postmates because I was craving some Filipino food. I got the Point Point plate with two items and noodles. For the two items, I chose chicken adobo and the longanisa. I got an extra order of pancit, 10 pc of lumpia, and a bbq pork skewer. I was pleasantly surprised at how fresh and delicious everything tasted! Even my 2 year old who is super picky and only likes Korean food ate everything up. The entire order was packed extremely carefully, and my special instructions were followed which is so rare with Postmates orders. I will definitely order from here again in the future! read more

The food..just like your moms cooking. I don't know about you but for me it's the most comforting. I have yet to visit the store but I am an AVID Post-mater. I work in the industry. Their packaging for delivery is great. I live at least 25 mins away and the food still comes in great quality. I just called for assistance with ordering other options since their yelp pictures reflect other than offered on postmates and they were so incredibly helpful with the process. Thank you point point! Fan for life! read more

"Point Point Joint" is pretty catchy. It's technically not a fast food restaurant, but maybe a fast casual-dining type restaurant where you pick up a tray and you point at already cooked food behind the glass barrier and you pay for it. There's not much to look at this place. The food is pretty good. I had sinigang, which is a tamarind soup, and I liked this one in particular because it was pretty sour and it had eggplants in it and small pork chunks. I also had a bbq chicken skewer, but I was disappointed that they told me they don't serve the pork skewers, which makes me sad because that's one of my standard items. I got a lot of rice. I also got a calamansi drink (Filipino lime), which was a nice touch with what I was having. If you try enough Filipno food, you'll notice a difference in taste from place to place (family to family) and you'll notice some differences in dishes depending on the characteristics of the restaurant (what province the family/business is from for instance). Although there is a credit card min of $10.00, there is a service charge which I am not a fan of. This place is pretty good and I'll come back to try it again. read more

I urged my family, including my dear lola, to try this place out. We all almost ordered different things, but I couldn't name most of the dishes even if I wanted to. I tried their ukoy (deep-friend shrimp pancake). It was bland yet salty/excess of batter and I couldn't stomach more than a fourth of it (dipping it in vinegar didn't help). The other entree I tried was the pakbet (squash, string beans & shrimp) which was pretty bland as well. No one in my family was happy with their food or the restaurant. The employees weren't friendly and the bathroom needs some better maintenance. After eating, I'm sitting on the toilet and in front of me is a urinal with pee still in it...something I'm just not quite used to. Meh. I've definitely experienced better. read more

Just happened to stop here, close to Kaiser hospital. What a treat! Absolutely hands-down some of the best Filipino food I've ever had. Very very fresh even before closing, and the staff was so friendly and informative. Everything we put our lips to was delicious. Insider tip, from 3 to 8 PM you get to save an extra 15%! read more

I've been coming to this place for my Filipino food fix for over a year now. My mother is from the Philippines and I've traveled there as well, so I know my Filipino food! I can honestly say this is very authentic Filipino food. The owners and staff are always friendly and it's nice to be recognized every time I come in. The prices are more than reasonable, and in true Filipino tradition, you always get a nice portion of food. My mother has eaten here as well and liked it, which is saying alot since she's very picky about her native food! If you're looking for good Filipino food in a clean friendly place, this is where you need to go. read more

Love this place. Fresh and delicious Filipino food near Kaiser Sunset and Children's Hospital Los Angeles. The menu, in conjunction with the freshness and deliciousness of the food being prepared, is beyond awesome. You can watch them prepare your food, fresh to order, in a timely manner. They work very hard to get a lot of orders done at this very busy location in Los Angeles. The food was seasoned properly, cooked thoroughly and very fresh to order. The employees are super friendly and nice. They provide excellent customer service and made us feel very welcome here. It was our first time coming here, and We will be back when we visit Los Angeles again in a few months. A+ service and quality. Five stars all the way. Highly, highly recommended. We will not be disappointed. read more

How often do you see Palabok out on the hot bar? If not that, how often does it melt in your mouth and leave your soul so satisfied? Both those wishes are granted here. From start to finish, all the Filipino favorites are waiting and easy to swoop up, not to mention at the loving hands of the Tans. Don't forget the Lechon kawali! So much love. read more

First time eating Filipino food and I'm so glad it was here! The food is delicious, With great taste. The cherry on top is the friendly staff, walking me through their menu and being patient lol. They had big smiles on their face as they would hand me another sample. Such an amazing experience and can't beat the can't beat their pricing!!! I even got 15% discount because of their anniversary read more

I was in the area, waiting for the Bike Kitchen to open, and I saw a sign that said "Filipino food". I've never had Filipino cuisine before, so I went in to ease my own curiosity. My options were incredibly limited, because I don't eat meat (only poultry & seafood, occasionally). There were pretty much 2 veggie options. I waited to the side of the line, looking at all the trays of food, listening to what they were, and seeing what most of the Filipinos were ordering. No one ordered the veggies! I went for this pumpkin, saucey stuff. It was yummy, and I think it had bittermelon in it, because the cucumber-looking stuff was gnarly bitter! Otherwise, it was muey delicioso -- I wanted seconds, but I was full. Since none of the dozen Filipinos I let order before me ordered what I got, I'm not sure I got a good example of traditional Filipino food. So I just have to go back. read more

For me, this is my go to for Filipino food. The food is great!! the service is great l!! you get to pick what you want. Her barbecue sticks are the best in town. The chicken adobo is really really great. We also have her cater our party sometimes too. And her Shanghai Lumpia is the bomb!! It's located in a strip mall, but don't let that fool you. The food is very very good and so are the people. And if you come at lunchtime you can see the manila based variety shows on the Filipino TV channel. And on certain days they have spaghetti with hot dog! So good. #comfortFood read more
