Bautista's Filipino Kitchen

Used to be a good place for filipino food. The soup has no taste and lumpia is very small for $2 - literally the length of my pinky!! Service is ok. Located in the food court at Pearlridge Mall uptown side / Mauka.

Nice selection of items to choose from. I saw the short ribs and wanted to try them with rice. It's a 1 choice plate for $12.99.Ribs were a bit oily but flavored nicely and very tender. Rice was a touch mushy, but I ate it happily.The counter lady was very nice and offered me utensils, napkins and a take out bag. The place looked cleaned and bright. I saw a couple of dishes I never had before. I might have to try them on a return visit.

Every time I come to Pearl Ridge to shop, Bautista's Filipino Kitchen is my go to for lunch. It's because their Filipino version of kalbi is good, the adobo is almost always seasoned well. A plate lunch with 3 options is $18.95 before tax. Today, I got 3 options with white rice, adobo with potatoes, stir fried shrimp and longanisa (Filipino sweet sausage). The adobo with potatoes was seasoned well. The potatoes were soft. We also got stir fried shrimp. The shrimp is soft and tender but it was a bit salty. The 3rd option is longanisa. They can't go wrong with this since it's premade and it only needs to be fried. ;)The service is so-so. I don't think they have ever smiled or said hi or hello. This is their normal service so don't expect anything. The older lady who serves the food isn't mad, she just won't smile and gives you a look that makes you wonder if she's pissed off or something. The one thing that bothered me was when I asked for vinegar. It's a small container with vinegar that is normally given when you purchase lumpia. I didn't buy lumpia but I spent about $33 with the mochi and coconut juice. I didn't get any vinegar. I was told there was none. I looked behind the counter and it was filled with a bunch of tiny containers filled with vinegar. I asked the cashier again if I can have just one vinegar. The cashier said we don't have any. I paid and left and didn't argue. Thank you for reading my review. Have a great week!

One of my favorite places for Filipino food. Always hot and fresh. I don't mind paying the price because the plates are packed and super Ono.

My favorite place to go every time I hit the mall. I love their variety of food. The service is good. People are friendly. It's located in the food court so there is plenty of seats if you go a little early before lunch rush hour.

Always go there when I am in the area. Best Filipino food. Disappointed that a couple of my favorite items were unavailable. It was New Year's Eve so I guess I should have expected that. Ordered pigs feet and Gisantes. Good portions and the pigs feet was perfect. Equal amounts of meat and juicy skin fat.... yummy. Can't wait till next visit.

Okay, so I know that there are many options that are better in the area of Filipino food. But, I do love that Bautista's is located in the middle of a busy food court at Pearlridge, and almost always has one of the longest lines... That's got to say something! They are fast, they've got good prices, and give large portions! Being that it's an eatery, you at least expect the food to be decent, which it is, for the most part. Personally, I think some of their dishes could use some salt, or tiny adjustments to their recipes though, but that's just my opinion. I also like my adobo to be more vinegary. I really enjoy their lumpia with the spicy vinegar, but they run out fast, so you have to go at the right time. My husband enjoys the pancit and squid guisado.There are lots of tables, being in the food court and all. This is our usual go to lunch spot when we're in this part of the mall.

Great deal on 3 choice plate. They ate celebrating their 38 anniversary. Staff was friendly and offered to give us samples The mung beans was flavorful but the pork adobo was tasteless. However, the spareribs was tasty but kind of tough. The next time we go we may have the pinakbit or lechon. They gave us extra plates and forks.

Food was ok for food court options! Rice little dry, squid was good and so was Diniguan. Would go here again if I'm in the mood for Filipino food that's already hot n ready to serve(convenience).

Ate here twice on different occasions because I craved Filipino cuisine at the time being in the mall. Once shortly after opening for business the other during the evening dinner period.Over priced. Lacking attention to Service. Similar staples is subpar compared to other Filipino restaurant quality. I gave a 2 star because my friend ordered pancit said it was the bomb. I had a tasted but I did not agree with his opinion.
