Lumpia House — Restaurant in Poway

As an Asian, I couldn't stop myself from dropping by Lumpia House since I love lumpias! I tried Lumpia House for my first time today -- ordered a 12 pcs set of vegetables lumpia ($10), some turon (banana lumpia) and a pancit combo with chicken skewer and sour fish (combo w/ 2 side items $15).

Between the vegetable lumpia and turon, I like the turon best. If you like tempura bananas (like me), the turon is pretty good. It was crunchy and sweet, filled with warm bananas. The vegetable lumpia was average -- It was filled with vegetables and has some flavor but not as flavorful as I had imagined in my head. The sweet chili sauce that came with the lumpia didn't have the same kick/flavor as the bottled sweet chili sauce available at Asian stores. It tasted like a mixture of plum sauce and sweet chili sauce -- it might be fine for others but I prefer a stronger chili flavor. That being said, I just added more sweet chili sauce to the mixture.

The chicken skewers were pretty good -- not dry (like the ones I get from Seafood City), with a hint of sweet. I liked the sour fish, it didn't have that fishy smell (at least not to me). It does have bones and it is not descaled. The kind lady at the counter was considerate and let her customers know that the fish has bones and is not descaled.

There are other items to chose from: fried fish, a chicken stew, pork skewers, etc. They also have fried pork belly (will try that next time)!

Would I go back again? Yes, I would give it another shot to try something else -- maybe the meat lumpia or shrimp fritter (the ukoy looked...

No meat at all but said it is mixed with both pork and beef. Where!? It was pure vegetables. $1 each lumpia that it is insane! I thought it would be filled with meat. This company is ripping people off. I asked her to exchange my order as I ordered meat lumpia not vegetable and at first she said sorry no I can't do that, then she did and she gave me a small plate of food for $17. Pork adobo was extremely dry, I basically payed $17 for just good pancit and white rice. Go to titas kitchenette lumpia is filled with meat and far cheaper! Very worth your time your gas and money! Very rude woman, kept smiling and saying "it is what it is" they know what they're ripping people off and they do not care. The picture I posted is there pork and beef lumpia,...

We LOVED IT!! Tried the lumpia of course and it was so yummy. We ate all 12 and wished we had more. Tried the pancit and it was our favorite we've had so far. The teriyaki chicken was cooked to perfection and the sweet sausages were delicious. Was a bit more adventurous than usual and Tried the chicken stew and it was very good. I didn't try the pork dish,, but my boyfriend loved it. The bones in the chicken threw me off a bit, I just had to get used to it because the flavors were amazing. I would recommend and we will be going back. Oh....and the cashier was amazing. Can't recall her name but she had great energy and was very personable. She made us happy just honestly to chat with her. Wish we got your name, but you are...
