Crispy House — Restaurant in Artesia

Came to have dinner with my mom earlier today around 6pm & it was not busy. We were seated, given the menu & no one bothered coming to our table to ask if we at least knew what we wanted to drink to start off. Waited 18 minutes to even get acknowledged, have someone bring us waters to start off or take our order. We signaled one of the waitress to let them know that we were ready and we were told "wait one second". As we waited, a huge party of 8-10 people were sat down, had their waters ready & appetizers ready(probably ordered ahead of time?) Then we saw a party of 2 were sat down & quickly they brought waters to them & the waitress was taking their order. By that time, I told my mom to let's go because clearly no one wanted to take our order! So we grabbed our stuff, got up & walked out. As we were walking out, they seen us and didn't even bother saying anything or tried stopping us. Not sure if they don't give service to Latinos and just their people, but this was such a horrible experience and service! I'm a huge fan of Filipino food & to think that this happened to my mom and I is upsetting. Any Latinos who try going here, hopefully this doesn't happen to any of you! Good luck & I hope this restaurant trains their staff to have better customer service in the...

Crispy House (formerly Magic Wok) – Artesia, CA I’ve been coming to this restaurant since it first opened in 1986 when it was still known as Magic Wok. As a Filipino, I grew up on my mom’s and Lola’s home cooking—so I don’t say this lightly: when I can’t have a homemade meal, this is where I go. Now called Crispy House under new ownership, I’m happy to say the flavors are still exactly the same. It’s the kind of place where every dish feels like it was made with care, tradition, and love. Their Crispy Pata is legendary—perfectly crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside—but honestly, everything on the menu is worth ordering. Some of my go-to favorites are: Lumpia Shanghai – crispy, flavorful, and addictive Pancit Canton – savory stir-fried noodles that hit all the right notes Sinigang – that classic sour tamarind broth with melt-in-your-mouth meat and veggies Lechon Kawali – golden, crispy pork belly that’s pure joy with every bite This spot has been a family favorite for nearly 40 years, and it’s still just as good as I remember. If you’re craving real, comforting, Filipino food that tastes like home—Crispy House is...

Awesome! Being Filipino from Hawaii I’m always craving good Filipino food. Some places are decent, some are good, but Crispy House is AWESOME! I have never used that word in any of my other reviews. I’m not a big eater…but I ate every bit of food! Literally, and we ordered a lot! The white rice was perfect. I like it super sticky! The pork adobo was fantastic! Fatty, tender and tasty! The Shanghai lumpia was perfect and meaty! The pancit bihon, was like my grandmother made it. I love this place. I just wish they would reopen the seating area. I understand there are probably multiple reasons for keeping it closed, so until then I just will remember to bring utensils and paper plates because it’s only a minor inconvenience, and Starbucks will have a regular customer that brings their own food to eat with our coffee and beverages that we buy there. Lol. I didn’t take any pictures unfortunately, and they definitely wouldn’t have been any justice to how good...
