Banig

Banig has been serving up Filipino food in Moreno Valley for decades and the food is one of the reasons why this long-standing casual eatery is still in existence today.This family-owned business is a small to midsize restaurant with plenty of seating and about a dozen tables. Note: Larger parties can move tables together to create a single, larger table.They have a small television with The Filipino Channel (TFC) playing in the background.The food is served cafeteria style. Basically, you walk up to the display of food and point to a dish you'd like. It's called turo-turo, which literally translates to point-point.There is no visible menu so if you're new to this establishment, you can ask what each dish is. They do have their staple breakfast and lunch items that are available all day:* Longanisa (Sweet Sausage)* Beef Tapa* Garlic Rice* Pancit (Canton-Bihon Mixed Noodles)* Pork Adobo * Bangus (Milk Fish)* Beef Caldereta (Tomato-Based Stew)* Lumpia (Egg Rolls)* Lechon Kawali (Fried Pork Belly)* Sisig * Dinuguan (Pork Blood Stew)* Giniling / Picadillo (Ground Meat)* Binagoongan na Talong (Eggplant with Fermented Pork)* Pinakbet (Vegetables with Fermented Shrimp)* Balatong / Mungo (Lentil Soup)* Sinigang (Tamarind Soup)* Palabok (Rice Noodles with Gravy)... and much moreMy favorites are the Lumpia, Sisig, and Lechon Kawali. They make the best Lechon Kawali I've had from any Filipino restaurant ever!Come check them out. Friendly service and smiles, and delicious food!

Their lechon kawali is the bombThe dessert ginataan is goodTheir pork adobo is good Have them fry fresh milkfish for you thats good tooThe pancit and dinuguan are good enough

I was in the area and finally decided to check this place out. I knew I was gonna miss the goods because I stopped in a half hour before closing time at 2 pm, and sure enough, they didn't have any ginataan, which is what I mainly came for. =/ Ginataan is a Filipino dessert that I never liked as a kid, but somehow grew to love it over the years. I can make my mom's secret recipe, but I wanted to see if Banig's was legit. I guess I'll have to make a return trip and come in the morning.I walked into an empty dining room that was carpeted (so weird!), and 2 customers were placing their order at the counter. As they finished their order, I looked to see what they had. Most of the dishes were gone, and the garlic fried rice was one of them. I saw the sign for their Sisig Bowl, so I felt I HAD to get that since I am a huge fan of sisig!! I also got a small à la carte order of what looked to be Pinakbet, but the only thing it had was pork and eggplant. The o.g. I'm used to has okra, bittermelon and squash, and sometimes tomatoes. I'm not sure if they usually label the dishes, but I didn't see any. I did see Dinuguan, Fried Bangus (milk fish), Sinigang (I think?), some Longanisa, and Chicken Afritada. I know my Filipino food, but some of these did not look familiar to me. I ate them at home, and they tasted just okay. I did ask for a side of vinegar because for me, it's a must-have to go with sisig. The freshly cooked egg on top was a nice touch, and it had the perfect yolk! However, the sisig itself did not wow me, as it lacked the peppers and other seasonings I've had at most other places. The "pinakbet" was odd because it was missing vegetables, but it didn't taste bad, just a bit salty for my taste.When I come back, I hope to get the full experience. I knew I should have went earlier in the day as places like these are the ones where you lose if you snooze and that I did. Prices are average, in my opinion, but the serving sizes could be bigger. I know business owners struggle with the cost of everything continuously going up, but it is what it is. The girl who helped me was nice.Hopefully, I'll get to try the ginataan next time!

I swung by Banig today looking for a sweet treat. I ended up going with the Halo Halo and it hit the spot. I'd for sure come back here to try their entrees!

First time trying this place out and did not dissapoint. Food was good and price reasonable. Will go again and try other dishes

Visited here on a Wednesday morning and it was not busy at all. They had a selection of hot foods made to order at the counter. We tried the pancit, lumpia, lechon, longanisa, tocino, picadillo, and bangus. The lumpia, lechon, and bangus were my favorite items. Our total came out to $68. Service is quick and nice, but the food was honestly just okay. The tocino and longanisa were lacking any char and flavor. The lechon was overcooked, but I like personally like that. I wish they used thinner noodles for the pancit. Overall, everything kind of had a similar taste to it. I liked that they included sauces on the side for the lumpia and lechon. I'd give it a chance to try other items, but overall the ones we picked out were pretty underwhelming especially at the price point.

The best food in the game! I would give 5 stars but the only reason I'm giving 4 is because the hours. I've been coming here since I was a teenager and I haven't been able to come in years but anytime I'm in the area I CRAVE their food. Best halo halo, best pancet, best adobo, BEST everything. Mouth is literally watering as I'm writing this. Homemade feel and always friendly service. I hope this place is doing well.

Everyone working here are always so friendly. They greet you when you arrive and are also so kind. I love coming here for breakfast. Very generous size portions. Breakfast includes rice, egg cooked the way you choice and your choice of longanisa, tocino or bistek. I typically get half bistek and half tocino because they are both so good. The dining area is nice, clean and quiet so you can relax and peacefully enjoy your meal.

Fast food Filipino cuisine for a quick bite. They close at 2pm so got there around 1:45 .There was a line when we got there. When my turn came staff greeted me warmly with a smile. That's the Filipino hospitality way !!!!Food counter display almost empty and not so many choices to choose from.Ordered lumpia ( fried to order) and 2 entree comboSteam riceChicken Tinola ( ginger soup base)Binagoongan ( pork cooked with salted shrimp paste)All were tasty and I we were full.

We ordered the banig party plater. And it comes with a cassava cake but we didn't end up eating it because it has mold in it. Be careful ordering food from there.
