Bistro Filipino

I ordered catering for a big family party. The price was really good compared to other restaurants I went to. I don't cook Filipino food but my aunts and uncles were expecting it at the event. The Kare-Kare and Beef Kaldareta was very good and meet was really tender. I will be ordering from here anytime I need Filipino food catering.

I think the place has decent value. I had lunch here for about $20 with tax. AYCE and there were a pretty good amount of items. The best tasting things were the fried salmon nuggets, the kare-kare, there was another dish I couldn't pronounce but it was dark with beef, and the chicken adobo. The rice was also really good! The kare-kare was my favorite. The only criticism i have is that some dishes, i felt had a lot of fatty parts to the meat. And by the time I got to the food around 3 it was a little on the cold side for some dishes. Maybe come closer to noon to avoid this

I was starving when I came! First thing I saw was the pork feet soup, minus the soup. Nice and gelatinous! They also had a stewed one too. There isn't much selection on the line. I didn't know what the names of most of them were, but I tried a little of each. All were good. Especially the meat items. I usually don't eat rice, but it's a must have with the dishes. We went for lunch on a Sunday. Didn't ask the price, didn't expect it to be more than $20, but at last, it was $25 a person. I mean, that's probably what I would have spent at dollar hits. Just depends what you want to eat. There were two other tables when we were there. It's literally self serve. You also have to put your used dishes in the bin. Which is ok, but how much do you tip?

Small corner spot, learned that the area is know as a little Filipino town. We arrived around 11am we did the breakfast to lunch swing. Was $23 per person and came with coffee. A lot of options to choose from. My eyes were bigger than my stomach, go slow and portion things out I only lasted 2 full plates and some dessert. Everything I had tried I enjoyed and there was some stuff my Filipino friend had but I wasn't as adventurous lol ‍. Small quiet self serve buffet. The lady who took our payment was friendly and told us all the items available at the time. Would come back again.

Came in for late lunch buffet around 3:00 pm. Place clean and plenty of seats available. Whole roasted pig (lechon ) on display with other foods. Rice and pansit of course, karekare, rotisserie chicken, beef bulalo, beef mechado, pompano fish sinigang, chicken skin chicharon (beware of some little feathery stuff still in some of them). and sweet yam (w/carmelized sugar) or fresh watermelon or cantaloupe for dessert. Food in general has the authentic flavors in them but hardly warm or even hot enough to enjoy specially for bulalo. Didn't ask staff if it was possible to heat up in microwave (not my preference if given a choice) No crisp at all on the lechon skin. Seasoned well and not bland. Amazing lechon sauce. $25 price for a buffet meal not bad. Plans to visit again and check out what they have for breakfast buffet.

Have been wanting to dine here so finally came today Sunday for a late lunch early dinner kinda! Restaurant was not busy as a matter of fact aside from one diner , hubby and I were the only customers there @ 3:30 pm on a Sunday! There were at least 5 people who only purchased a to go order. A gloomy look with black tablecloth dressed the dining tables but brightened up by a lit up decorated Christmas Tree at the side of the stage. Christmas songs merrily played from a tv screen. A small stage for perhaps for music entertainment and karaoke night! On their buffet table was a whole roasted pig, Karen kare Beef stew Fish soup Bulalo soup Rice Pansit Chop suey Chicken Skin chicharon Crunchy dilis Watermelon slices Sweet carmalized Yam Melon drink Roast pig's skin wasn't crunchy at all. Karen kare was deliciously creamy and had tender meat! Loved the Bulalo or Nilaga which is soup with shanks and bone marrows.

Bistro Filipino is a pleasant novelty. The buffet cost $14.99 per person. Soda costs extra. You pay at the register, and you grab a plate. I arrived around 9am (breakfast time), and the filipino buffet's options include longanisa, pancit, garlic rice, and others. This location is welcoming. When I entered, the cashier gave a friendly greeting. The location's tables are clean, and I enjoyed the piano instrumental music chiming from the speakers. I selected the garlic rice, pansit, egg, and longanisa for my plate. The longanisa (sausage) is toasty; it's plump, hot, and fresh. Tasty! The pansit is pleasant; it's not dry, and the meat is moist. However, the rice and egg were lightly chilled. The garlic rice and egg had good flavors, but it's cold. The buffet's plates were also not the cleanest; a couple plates had tiny smudges or bits of sauce under the rim. Customers are forced to search for the clean plates within the pile. Honestly, the quickest way to improve this location is being more diligent with the dishwashing. Overall, Bistro Filipino is a decent, unique location. If you're craving a buffet with filipino foods, I can recommend.

Bistro Filipino in West Covina is my go-to spot for all-you-can-eat Filipino food! The selection is fantastic, featuring all the classic dishes you'd expect, from savory adobo to crispy lechon kawali. Everything is flavorful and fresh, and they do a great job of keeping the buffet well-stocked. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. While halo-halo is available for an extra charge, it's worth it as a sweet and refreshing treat to finish your meal. Whether you're craving a taste of home or exploring Filipino cuisine for the first time, this is the perfect place to indulge. Highly recommended for anyone who loves hearty, delicious food served with a smile!

If you're looking for an authentic Filipino food experience in the LA area/West Covina area, the place is worth the trip! The flavors are robust, service is great, and your stomach will be in heaven!
