Filipino Express — Restaurant in Buena Park

This place is a solid 2.

I would have given this place a 1* but the “nice” lady saved the day.

Come to think of it, I think she was being nice because she knows this place is on a serious downward trend.

The food looked sad when I saw it behind the display but I wanted to try Filipino food for the first time.

Rice was mushy and the pancit was dry and flavorless.

The pork adobo was just salty and flavorless, some pieces were tender while some were tough.

Longaniza was the saving grace here but it still tasted old. She could have given me one more because I can’t believe I paid $16 for a two item combo when I am calculating the food cost to be around $5-$6.

I don’t think this place will survive.

Beware of food places that are not attentive to customers, the food does not look fresh, and the person serving you is overly...

I love Filipino food and was excited to try this place since it was close by. As soon as I walked in there was only one customer in front of me with her food already packed and getting ready to pay...well the lady serving (may be the owner not sure) and the customer kept talking and looking back at me and continued to keep talking their time as if it was on purpose...I was wondering what was happening while still waiting patiently and quietly then I realized the dirty looks I'm thinking it was because of skin color I was doing no wrong. I walked away withouth saying anything (not wasting my energy), but it was just so uncomfortable and saddening especially as I was looking forward to trying their food. I will never return...

The lovely woman at the front was kind, thoughtful, careful, and overall very pleasant. I only my wish the back house staff had the same qualities... The food taste/quality was "o.k." at very best. Based off a product sticker still being on my bell pepper (as seen in my photo), bell pepper seeds randomly in the dish, and dry beef I can tell they dont put much thought or care into the food they prep and cook. I imagine if they dont care enough to prep and clean the food properly then the kitchen and everything else must be a reflection of their lack of care. The Pancit was very bland, greasy. The Chicken Adobo felt like it was uninspired. Sorry but I will not be...
