North Star Sausage

This was my go to when I'm not in the mood to make my own longanisa! Their arrozcaldo, ginitaan and pinakbet reminds me of my late nanas cooking. Service is always great. All the titas are always nice and helpful.

If you're looking for authentic home cooked Filipino food, North Star is the place to go. We used to frequent their Kalihi location on School Street, however, after 40+ years in business, the "uncles and aunties" finally decided to retire this past October so only the Waipahu location is still in business. One of their popular items is the chiicharon, a crunchy skin on the outside and that tender juicy pork on the inside. Yummy! For those that don't know, it is basically a Filipino version of Chinese roast pork. They also have other favorites including pancit, pork adobo, pork quisantes and pinakbet to name a few. Options include a mini or regular plate lunch or by the container (small, medium or large poke-sized plastic containers). This Waipahu location appeared to be bigger than their old Kalihi location. It is also a Filipino grocery store. Tip, if you are planning on ordering sausage by the case, it's best to pre-order. Northstar is located in the Waipahu Professional Center in the rear building, just diamond head (east) of Servco Toyota on Farrington Highway. There is ample parking as there are a number of other businesses in this strip mall.

Small Filipino store! They serve snacks, plate lunch, dessert, and their famous longanisa $13 each. Service is quick, grab what you need and head to the cashier. I can't wait to taste the longanisa.

I would give them 0 stars if I could. They are super rude if you are not Filipino!!! I'm Filipino (Ilocano to be exact), and I sent my husband there since he was going to an okazuya down the road. He was waiting in line, and the workers there started to help a guy speaking Filipino behind him in line rather than my husband who is Japanese and quite frankly doesn't look like he belongs in that store TBH. I gave them a call to complain because just because the customer isn't Filipino, doesn't mean they can't be served in the store.

Been coming here for over 15 years. By far the best and only place I go to buy my longanisa, dinakdakan and chicharon.

I've known about this place for years. Partly because I had a mom who would always drive here to buy some Filipino goods. And the one main thing I've always known this place to have was longanisas & chicharon. I grew up eating these and continue to til this day. This however was the first time I actually came here on my own to make a purchase. $11 for a bag of longanisa, not bad. It will definitely last me a couple of weeks for just my husband and I. Cooked some up this morning and mmm mm was it good. I once bought from Times and the quality was bad. Wayyy to fatty. But I like North Stars longanisa. Definitely will buy and stock them in my house. Just FYI, the longanisas are sold frozen. Besides all the other dried canned goods they sell here. They also have a variety of cooked foods. You order by how many choices you choose from. Food is delicious!

Came here for the chicarron, pig skins( bag used to be bigger!!), ebotebo(sp?), and stikko wafer sticks! Yum! No customer service, just get in, ask questions, pay, and get on your way. 2 stalls in front of the store, 1 of them is for handicap. Lots of snacks imported from the Philippines.

Wish l could give NO . Will not return. They don't know how to calculate and ring up customers. They charged me $7.75 for somebody else's plate. Terrible.

Prices have really gone up since the last time I came here years ago. The workers are still rude talking in their dialect and ignore customers like me. Don't think I'll come back I'll just go to another store.

Disgusting! The empanadas I bought from them has a fly inside. Ughhh I almost finish it. Don't buy their empanadas
