Pampanga Kitchen Waipahu

Pampanga Kitchen has become my go-to restaurant for filipino foods. The food and dessert are very flavorful and light. I grew up eating filipino foods, and I recall it being rich and heavy. Pampanga provides a wide selection of filipino dishes, desserts, and combinations. Service is good. The inside is well kept and clean as well.

Love coming to the event with the long drive it's worth it The Laing is awesome I enjoy them so much The staff Altay have the smile

Located in Waipahu in the same shopping center as Pacific Market, this place serves up Pangpangan cuisine. Nice selection with nice photos of each dish are on the walls. Ample parking and dine-in seating. First time here. Not sure if I'd ever return. The food was HEAVY handed with salt! Or perhaps Patis? Way too salty for my pallet.

First and last experience was ok. Because their store inside the plantation ran out of food early, I had to drive to this location to order my favorite Laing. I also added empanada just to try. The laing was great as always. The empanada was not close to the Original Ilocos Empanada. The shell was hard and it's missing some ingredients and seasoning. More than 30 minutes wait for the laing and rice it not justified. I would really recommend to have occasional staff to check on the tables make sure it's cleaned properly. Also recommend the staff to be more attentive, welcoming and courteous. I witnessed two guys came in and they were waiting there in front of the order taker without being acknowledged for at least a minute. Unacceptable not very professional. I will probably not come back to this location very soon. I prefer the turo turo style, inside the plantation.

My family and I decided to have dinner here we had a large group of 12 people. This restaurant is suitable for small or large parties. Price value location nobody even comes close. The wide variety of Filipino food was surprising they also provide desserts such as halo halo! When visiting Waipahu or Oahu, this is a great option if you're seeking Filipino cuisine.I'll be back for sure when visiting the island and family.This place was clean and service was excellent!

Very impressed with this place! We have a go-to spot for Filipino food, but we were recommended to check out this restaurant from a friend. Located in the old Jollibee in Waipahu, Pampanga Kitchen serves up authentic and fresh comfort dishes.We ordered two mixed plates and some a la carte desserts, and we were not disappointed. Liked the fact that they give you an option to choose half and half for your starch selection, so we got to do white rice and try their pancit bihon too.We enjoyed everything we had, not overly salty at all. Lechon kawali had a perfect crisp and the meat was tender. They also give you a vinegar/tomato/onion sauce to pair with it, and lemme tell you, it was on point. Dessert was yummy as well. We had the suman and it tasted exactly as I remember it as a kid.Looking forward to visiting them again soon.

It's so upsetting to do a 1 star review. I always try to support and give good reviews but I think it's important to share my experience. Let me start off by saying I am really not coming back here to eat, unfortunately this was one of the worst experiences I've had with my orders. This was my first at last time here. Today we ordered Lechon Kawali, Beef Bulalo, Beef Pinapaitan, Pork Dinuguan, and Longganisa with spam and eggs. We are a party of 5 and they gave us 2 forks and 2 spoons. The wait for the food was over 30 minutes which is okay because it was a lot that we ordered, but it was the amount of mess ups that sealed it for me. My dad had to stand up about 5 times to go back and forth asking for the right things.These are in order. - First thing we noticed, the tables weren't being cleaned because our table had a bunch of stains. - Second thing that happened we mentioned was the utensils. - Third, we wondered where our dinuguan was (they forgot to give it to us so it came late, and it was SO OILY) - Fourth, we opened 2 of the packed bowls to find that we got TWO beef bulalo's. (Where is the beef pinapaitan?) - Fifth, they gave us GOAT pinapaitan when we told them BEEF. I would like to mention there are about 6-7 workers working, and there's about 5 small groups of people. I don't understand what the hold up was. It's just super unsatisfactory. Hopefully others have a better experience, but I'll pass on this place!

Delicious suman! The best mungo beans dish. And their halo halo is sooooo good and refreshing. Be prepared to wait.

Today July 6, 2023, I ordered food at this restaurant (Pampanga's Kitchen in Waipahu) to be exact around 6:20 p. m.I ordered Lechon kawali and garlic shrimp plate which cost $16.95 + tax. This is my dinner supposedly but food is way beyond worst that even an animal will not eat It. The shrimp is saggy and the lechon kawali which is roasted pork have been reheated several times the meat is hard like a rock and the pork-skin was like you eating a chewing gum which is supposed to be crunchy. The food is expensive, so you expect a better quality of food that they served. If ever you planning to visit this branch or other branches think twice before you order. You don't want to be victimized by this restaurant who is not serving quality food.Marlene

Wow. Ordered food at 5:42pm and got it 40 minutes later. What were they doing? Killing the pig back there? Picking fresh vegetables? Honestly they have one of the best tastes/flavor for Filipino dishes but if the food is taking longer than 30 mins, we would of ate at the pho place next door. Please inform your customers if the wait time is going to be that long instead of not letting us know. That or have a big sign made to order, wait time may vary. 1 star for food only.
