Ching's Famous Hopia — Restaurant in National City

I bought a “travel pack” of ube and buko pandan hopia as a souvenir to bring with me back to Colorado for my little brother. He says to me, “Kuya pls get some more next time you are in SD”. Neither of us really even ate hopia all that much growing up Filipino and finding it at different establishments, but this place…is something else. The “famous” in their name is not without backing. This really is the tastiest hopia I have ever eaten. It is insanely good.

They have been there for a couple years now I think, and they still make the flakiest, mouth watering, scrumptious, bombitty bomb bomb little hopia bombs! Seriously, all I need is some ube hopia,...

You may have the best hopia in town but you will NEVER HAVE THE BEST SERVICE. I only visit San Diego once a year or two and I make it to a point to stop here for good hopia to take home with me. This guy at front who takes and packs your orders is VERY RUDE!!! I came in to order 3 x 50pcs and he just kept on rolling his eyes and shaking his head as if I am not helping their business. I don’t know who he is, I hope not the owner, but he needs some customer service skills. I wonder if I’m the only one whom he...
