L Philippine Cuisine

This Filipino restaurant is underrated. This place has been here for years. The name changed a few times, but I believe it's still the same family. The place has updated over the years to look more modern, but for the most part it still looks the same.For my 20th year wedding anniversary 5yrs ago I ordered some lechon & pompano for my kamayan and it was delicious. My favorite fish is pompano and they sell the fried big ones or the fried smaller ones at a good price. If you're worried about trying Filipino food, you should check it out because they have the food out like Panda Express and you can just point w your finger or your lips haha.We haven't gotten food this year yet, but we should be visiting soon. In 2023 we've probably ordered take out several times since we're always craving dinuguan. The pinakbet was bomb, but my only gripe was that they only gave a few pieces of meat and I wanted more bite.Staff is not always super friendly. Probably because nga English English ka me and ang asawa ko mestizo kag hindi marunong ma sagut kang Tagalog. It's okay... I get it. For the most part on a good day they are okay. Food is really good if you don't feel like cooking at home!

Amazing food! My go to is 15 piece lumpia, sisig, and pork on the stick and pancit is really tasty.

Every time I miss home, I come to this restaurant. I love the fried fish, sisig and pork satay. I had them for to go this morning.

Tucked away in a quiet strip mall, a couple doors down from a pizza parlor, you would probably never know this place existed here. And unless you're a Pinoy craving some Filipino home cooked meal, a Pinoy too busy to cook for yourself, or married to a Pinoy, you would probably never come and eat here. And no, you will not find Filipino spaghetti or Filipino fried chicken here. At least not the kind that Jollibee serves that has amassed a cult following.What you will find here is authentic Filipino cuisine. The kind of food your Lola (grandma) or Nanay (mom) made at home. But let's be honest for a sec here. We all know that out of all the Asian cuisines, Filipino food doesn't garner the attention of the masses in the way Chinese, Thai or Vietnamese cuisine does. But growing up, this is the kind of food I ate as a child. And as an adult, this is the kind of food that when eaten, gives you that warm nostalgic sense of comfort.The restaurant ambiance is casual. There's a hot table with dishes to choose from, meant to be eaten with white rice, but don't expect the dishes to be nicely labeled like Panda Express. More than likely, the dishes will be unfamiliar and might seem like they all look or taste the same. However, I guarantee that if you said adobo (chicken or pork), barbecue stick, beef steak, pancit (noodles) and caldereta, what you'll end up before you is a nice array of the classics. All of this will be served with rice and maybe if you asked, a bowl of sinigang broth (sour soup). If you're feeling adventurous, try the dinuguan (stew made with pork, blood and seasonings). Before you judge, this is actually good because there is no liver and no irony taste. I was skeptical because as a child I always shied away from this dish but now, I almost always order this dish each time.If that's not your jam, they always seem to have on hand a variety of fried dishes--whether it be fish, pork belly or pata (shank) or dilis (baby smelt fish). However, don't forget to ask for the spicy vinegar sauce. For desserts, they may have turon, biko, puto, cassava cake, or flan on any given day. And last but not least...what I really come here for is my childhood favorite called halo-halo. Halo-halo literally translates to "mix-mix" and probably what most would consider the official dessert of the Philippines. It's a cold dessert made up of sweetened red or black beans, coconut jelly, gulaman (colorful agar jelly), buko (coconut jelly), sweetened banana or jackfruit, topped with shaved ice, evaporated milk, a scoop of flan and ube ice cream. Use the tall spoon they give you and go to town mixing the ingredients in the glass. On a hot Bakersfield day, this is what you need to satisfy that sweet tooth. And trust me when I say, this is the most authentic as it comes to what you normally have in the motherland.

Can definitely satisfy your filipino food cravings. Their prices are affordable and the staff is quick to serve you. They have lots of seats and a variety of dishes to choose from. Portions are huge!

Love the fried fish, sisig is always fire!!! Fast service. Great selection every time.

First time here and I enjoyed it. The Goat Kaldereta and squid was soon good. Kinda pricey but worth it. The customer service is awesome. 5 STARS. Highly recommended.

This was definitely traditional Filipino food. Awesome typical Filipino hospitality. Food was ok, not my style mostly. However the pork adobo was good and reminiscent of how we make it. The only Filipino restaurant in Bakersfield on our particular route home so we gave it try. I would go again if in the area.

My go to spot in Bakersfield for Filipino food. Phone in an order in advance for a crispy pata,,, and ask for extra of the vinegar dip.... Trust me! 10/10!!! -romynick
