Kapit Bahay — Restaurant in Anaheim

So earlier this morning I stopped by Kapit Bahay to pick up some breakfast for my wife and son while I was out. When I arrived, it was just me and one other customer there, The trays were full of food it looked promising, I was excited to bring some home for my family.

I was initially going to leave a 2-star review, but I changed it to 1 star after finding a strand of hair in our bag, marinating in oil from either the corned beef or pork tocino.

The original 2 stars was becaus I was expecting a little more food for spending $28 on x2 2-item combos, at least an egg like other Filipino places. But unfortunately, we received fell short. My wife also mentioned that one of the Longganisas seemed like it was a day old and was inedible. Sadly as well, the older gentleman wasn’t as “neighborly” as the store name suggests. Aside from that, the food tasted okay, but it definitely wasn’t worth $28, both in terms of quantity and quality.

I was excited to try this place out since we’re Filipino ourselves and we love a good filipino breakfast but this place honestly was not worth it in my opinion. I also rarely leave reviews, but I was so disappointed in the serving that I ended up going to Red Ribbon to buy extra food just in case 😂. Maybe they had an off morning or something, but I just wanted to share my experience.

Thanks...

I would love to give Kapit Bahay 5 stars. We have been coming here since the early mid-2000s until we moved to Inland Empire.

Our last visit this weekend, however, gripped my usual expectations of comforting satisfaction.

We got the Corned Beef, Kare², Tinola, and different brands of Hopia.

What surprised me was the pugnacious taste of the Corned Beef - it's at the edge of spoilage. Maybe I was just being over reactive so I kept quiet.

The Kare-Kare's meat (tripe) were not soft. It was not sufficiently simmered that it could be easily chewed and swallowed, but the sauce and vegies are one thumb up. I hope they simmer the meat longer because this savory dish would end up in the trash.

The Chicken Tinola is good. One complain is: there is only 3 very small bite-size pieces in it that the ala carte price would seem too expensive.

I wish Kapit Bahay can make the adjustments, bring back...

One of Anaheim's best filipino restaurants in California for a long time.. very reasonable price, & as always, real flexible hospitality and original fresh, hot variety.. yummy food from 9am to 9pm.. now run by second family generation.. a tradition! On top of that, great staffs of pinoy culture; like the popular Lisa&Elsa team, the cebuana & mexicana who almost speak fluent pinoy..after working there.. 20yrs.? The place is very cozy, relaxing, big enough you can mingle well with other pinoy & customers. Big enough lots of over-the-counter stuffs, from pinoy pharma like Efficacent oil, to most pinoy delicacies. Close to other ethnic other Asian restaurants like Jolly Bee, & 99 Ranch grocery for fresh seafood free frying. This whole area is considered Anaheim's Asian Center particularly PINOYS. Just Google this for more info. WELCOME...
