I drove by today and it was gone Does anyone know where they moved to? I am so sad the food was great and a good addition to Kaneohe!

I always recommend pampanga kitchen in Kaneohe, better service, nice employees. I always love their ube lumpia.

Chicken Papaya soup was very tasty and hot. Can't wait to try some other dishes. I hope they get some options for appetizers. A side of lechon would have been great, but only a complete plate lunch option is given.

Was visiting O'ahu from the Bay Area with my family a couple weeks ago. We were craving Filipino food and this place was along our route through Kaneohe. So glad we went here! Everything we had was delicious. We ordered lugaw, longsilog, ube turon, and suman. That suman was so glutinous and coconutty and so damn good. My dad had been craving some Ilocano dishes for a long time so he had the papaitan and dinakdakan. I'll tell you what, if you've watched the Ratatouille Disney movie you'd know what I mean. At first bite he quietly said "wow sarap" with his eyes closed. My dad was smiling ear to ear while eating the food he'd been craving for so long. I was joking that his mind had been transported back to the homeland with Lola's home cooking. That alone deserves 5 stars. We hadn't seen him that happy and content while eating in a while.

Went here for the first time today and ordered three dish with rice for friends and myself but when i got home, i found out they only gave me one rice so we had to share a tiny portion of rice. Other than that food was ok.

Love this place. So thankful to have a Filipino restaurant close to where I live. Food is great and the workers are always super friendly.

I went in craving lumpia around 3pm and the lady at the register said they were completely out. How can you be sold out of lumpia at 3 and not make more when you’re open until 7? I settled for the pancit and it was flavorful but the pork was mostly fat which is why this review gets 3 stars. The lady at the register seemed rude and she wasn’t wearing her mask properly (it was under her chin) and kept touching her face while handling food. Maybe if they had lumpia I’d give it another chance but I really wasn’t impressed with the customer service.

I love Filipino food so much! I can eat that all day in all course of my meal. When I lived on the east side, it's my go-to Filipino restaurant. I love the time they put lechon meat for Nilaga! I think it was a really interesting way of making Nilaga! I love how they cook! I also get a piece of Turon. Don't know why this is a 3 star but this place is cool!

Disappointed in the lechon kawali. It had little meat and the meat that it did have was very tough.
Got Lechon kawali, adobo plate and pork sinigang. All was hot, fresh and tasty. The pork sinigang was especially delicious, full of veggies and pieces of meat.

I picked up filipino plate from Pampanga restaurant in WW City. So disappointing. It's been over 2 years since I ate their food. It was awful. Pinakbet was yesterday's leftover. Dinaguan and pancit were bland. Rice was too sticky. Threw out most of it.

Yummy ube lumpia but service sucks! They never answer the phone at alllll! Also, the young workers are rude-- they don't entertain the customers and are just on the phone while taking our orders!

Went for lunch on 30 NOV. Very quiet, only one table occupied and no line. I specifically went to scratch my Pancit Bihon fix. Ended up ordering the small plate that consisted of Chicken Adobo and Pancit Bihon instead of rice. What an odd contrast those selections were.The Pancit by itself was nice. Noodles may have been cooked a little too soft, but the flavors saved it. I added a little condiment container of the garlic vinegar sauce that made me think of some old school Pancit Bihon. I think the Pancit would have benefitted from just a touch more sauteed cabbage and veg.The chicken adobo on the other hand was a disappointment. This was easily the second toughest pieces of chicken I have had. The portion sizes were fine with 4 large chunck of chopped chicken thigh as was the overall flavor of the adobo. To be fair, I made and served myself the toughest piece of chicken by purchasing a whole "retired egg layer" from H Mart on the mainland and tried to made a slow baked chicken. These toughness of these chopped chicken thighs reminded me of a retired egg layer. The toughness of the chicken could be a one off fluke or could be the result of short cuts in preparation. I'd hate to think that the feral chickens around Kaneohe come here to retire.Regardless, the flavors were good so will probably be back again at some point for the Pancit and maybe better luck with another item.Cashier/service was adequate, did not notice any signs of a dirty restaurant and not there long enough to see if they followed any COVID protocols for guests,

My niece found a cockroach in the bottom of her mung beans. Will never eat here again.
