Pampanga's Cuisine — Restaurant in Daly City

I'm not qualified enough to discriminate between the tastes of the different regions and provinces of the Philippines, but they obviously pride themselves on Pampaganian flavors as they project that with their restaurant name.

I can vouch that these folks serve up fresh hot food from their kitchen, Turo-turo style, which means you just point at the ready-made dish you want and they serve it to you.

As for the taste, I don't find their flavors to be anymore distinct than the other Filipino places to set them apart other than that I kindly say their dishes seem more bland, but of course, that's a matter of personal opinion. To be sure though, they have a wide variety of options and I haven't tried all of them.

And as this place goes, their presentation is about as bland as well, very utilitarian without any aesthetic considerations other than boxes of supplies also piled around the dining area. Oh, they did put decorative tablecloths on their tables, that's a plus.

Their location is at a pretty unremarkable strip mall at a busy intersection, so they are busy. It's a reliable place to go, I support them for their well-being as a solid provider of ethnic dishes and the folks there are super nice.

I give them props for their staying power in an area that has a relative high concentration of Filipino food competitors, so something must be working in their favor.

All in all, maraming salamat po for your services to...

Darn it! I've been here a couple of times, mostly due to proximity. At first, I was pretty stoked - since they had some kapampangan food that i thought I would only be able to eat overseas, like pusit, sisig, and such. I ate there about 3 good times, by myself and was pretty satisfied. I kept raving to my sister and mom about how cool this place was, how it tastes just like Pampanga, and how I need to take them here when they come next time to visit me. So, they did...and Boy! What a disappointment - they didn't have ANY of the food I was raving about, and not only were we overcharged - the food was cold, they lady was impolite, and I had the runs all day.

I was embarrassed and disappointed that my reputation with good places to eat is now skewed due to my misjudgment...

I come here almost 4 times a month to eat lunch. Pork sisig and torta was good.. But there was something i witness while i was eating. There’s this young lady was filling up those small catsup containers for take outs / to go, some of the top (takip) fell off the floor, there was atleast 10 tops (takip) she picked them up and used them . People walk and stand at that spot where it fell and we dont know where those shoesfeet had been. Those plastic containers are not that expensive, she could of just thrown them away.

One more thing, this food server they have needs to learn how to be nice with customers. She seems like she doesn’t like her job. I guess i wont be coming back...
