My boyfriend come to Pinoy Pam almost every week to have lunch/dinner here. The employees are so sweaty and the food NEVER disappoints. Almost taste as good as home cook filipino meals made by your Mama!!! Recommend
The best Filipino food in SoCal! We order from here every time we visit Grandma and always have them cater Thanksgiving and Christmas!!
I love the service! The workers and staff are very nice! Love the small little dining area they have, and also the Filipino cuisine is really good, especially after working out at the gym. I recommended their Adobo Chicken, one of the staple dishes they got
Today I went there with my Filipino friends and they spoke Tagalog with the servers! We ordered the pancit, pork adobo, grilled chicken leg, chicken curry and halo halo. Everything was delicious!! I always go there to get the pancit but they had never given me as much as good as they did today! lol... told my Filipino friends that I should bring them with me every time I go there. They have the best halo halo! Ambiance is very casual.
Lots of choices, interesting little restaurant store combination. Food is good bistec sig sig are the only things I tried.
Massive selection of Filipino food inside a grocery store; it's complicated but it makes perfect Filipino sense. It's warm in there so bring a small fan if you run hot all the time (me). Be patient if a line forms, we're all hungry too (me, again). Now, the details... in Tagalog... translated back to English. THE FOOD ELABORATION. - Combo Plate (2 Items) | Came with white rice and two items of choice. I went with... 1. Pork Adobo | Great savory flavors, but the pork was somewhat dry. 2. Dinuguan | Extremely tender pork offal sitting in thick gravy sauce... which is pig's blood... sweet and savory with irony flavors. What I had here was the best dinuguan, ever. Highly recommend for the pig blood fans. - Combo Plate (1 item) | Rice and... 1. Mechado, Filipino Beef Stew | Hearty, richly flavored with carrots and other vegetables to balance the savoriness. The beef is tender, but some pieces were a little dry. - Lumpia | Made to order, the lumpia was fried to a golden crisp; stuffed with ground pork and minced vegetables. Comes with sweet chili sauce for dipping. Highly recommend. - Sinigang | Just the sabaw (soup) which I used to drench my rice with. Its sour and savory flavors are what to expect and usually consists of a vegetable medley with a protein component (pork or fish are popular). - Pork BBQ Skewers | Tender and sweetly flavored with charred edges for an added crunch. Highly recommend. - Halo Halo | A popular Filipino dessert, this halo halo had different types of sweet beans & jellies with evaporated milk and a thick layer of shaved ice. A scoop of mildly sweet ube ice cream tops this dish. Masarap! THE VIBE EVOCATION. Makati Manila vibes. Filipino food aromas emanate and persist throughout the store. Tables are haphazardly placed wherever room is afforded; in and around shelves of exotic Asian food. Do we still call Asian food exotic? Anyway, it feels familiar as this kind of hybrid set up is very typical in the Philippines. THE PARKING AFFAIR. Plenty of free parking in front of the store. THE RETURN QUANDARY. Definitely coming back for the dinuguan and to try other dishes too.
FILIPINO FOODIES & ENTHUSIASTS, THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!! If you're in Orange County and looking for AMAZING goodies, Pinoy Pam's Best has got you covered. With better prices than commercial Filipino markets, you'll be supporting a small family business that's been around since 2009. This place is 10000% more than meets the eye. I actually stumbled upon this on my way to work and the big PINOY sign caught my attention. I was immediately surprised upon entry at how much stuff was there. I'm talking white rabbit, leche flan, ube halaya, etc. ANDDD they even have more stuff on the right side of their store. If you're craving Filipino then this is it for you. They've got frozen foods like lumpia, siopao, longanisa, and you can even buy hot foods like kare kare, bistek, and if you're brave enough they also have diniguan and balut. There is a $15 card minimum but trust me when I say you'll be ordering much more than that. I'm so glad I found this gem. I'll certainly be back. (9/100--2023)
