The lumpia was overcooked and the pancit was average. Wasn't the best, but also wasn't the worst. The portion size was crazy for the price and the friendly service made the difference for me.

The food is always delicious and we probably eat there twice a week. The staff is always friendly and treat you like family.

They're batting 6 out of 10. Four being decent. It was good mostly when they changed owners, supposedly, but the last two times I got diniguan, it was hands down the worst of anywhere that I've had in 5 decades. Usually when diniguan's going bad they'll add a little vinegar. This place adds water and it can be easily seen on top of the diniguan. On top of that, I timed it two hours after they opened and this was" fresh." The last 2 times around was offensive. Never again. I sincerely hope that first timers don't think this establishment as representative of Pinoy cuisine. I felt like I got conned, even if only for a few bucks. This is not Pinoy cuisine, based on taste, appearance, and texture. It appears to be leftovers from people that didn't pay attention when grandma was giving lessons. It appears they put their own spin on it. This place gets a negative score vs. Conching's, Tita's, or Seafood City in National City, CA. Even the food in Mira Mesa is better than this.

Excellent food and it's inexpensive but plan to take it home (or spill it all over your car like me) because there are only two tiny tables.
Jon Sorensen
What a gem! The food is excellent and the prices are low. Pork Adobo and rice only cost $6. There are two tiny tables so be prepared to get take out.

Guys i just finished eating my to go order at Sampaguita, I'm excited to share this review the food is So Good. i went to Outlet and got hungry so i google some Filipino food near by and I pick Sampaguita, really close by the Outlet mall. I Ordered Adobo, Caldereta, Dinuguan and pakbet All of it is Panlasang pinoy masarap talaga, and the Casava cake taste like special. try nyo guys. ???
The people here are friendly and the food is great. Everything is fresh and their "Halo Halo" is made from scratch it is exponentially authentic. However, there is no place to sit or eat. This is a to go recommended place .

Having lived in the Philippines for a couple of years, sometimes I crave some pork adobo and pinakbet. Sampaguita is a take out only but they do have a couple of seats if you want to eat in. This time, we also ordered a side of their wonderfully crispy and tasty lechon kawali. One order filled up the two of us. It is across the highway from the Premium Outlets. So if you need to re-fuel from a day of shopping, this is the place to be.

The food is horrible, pork belly is dry, sinigang meat driest piece of pork to be found and the soup was just mostly water and salt, lumpias were overcooked. We could have gotten past the bad food in the customer service was good, but it was also horrible. Definitely not a representation of Filipino cuisine and culture.

the dinuguan was good, sinigang is made with knor pansigang mix the pork used is very dry. The lumpia is not good and overcooked. the place is too stuffy. They need to fix their ventilation as when you walk in, you can almost see a smoke-filled room, overwhelming with the stench of fried oil. Their staff needs to know how to smile and work on their customer service.
