Kambingan Filipino Express Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Service was good. Fast and simple. Their puto cheese and patupat (purple rice wrapped in banana leaf) were both good. Their tupig was just okay. Maybe if I heated it up it would have been better.
First time here, dined in. The sweetest aunty took my order made my plate while I went to wash my hands before eating. When I got my food it was served hot and tasty. I'm not local to the neighborhood and not many places where I live serve Papaitan, so I was happy to have a bowl.
They have the best Pancit and Suman in town. Service is fast in a friendly environment.
They have the best longganisa and lumpia on the island hands down. And don't sleep on the torta.
Awesome hole in the wall filipino restaurant located in the waipahu west gate shopping center next to two other filipino restaurants. Once I couldn't stay inside because it smelled too fishy, but today it was ok. I get more if i eat in than take out for the same price because I can fill my bowl a lot more than in a take out tray. Very different and authentic filipino dishes here. Goat stew (kaldereta) - 4 stars - because it's the only place that I know of that serves goat. This delicious dish has a strong stewed flavor that drowns out any hint of gaminess to the goat. Pigs feet - 3 stars - they gave a lot, but it was mostly bones and fat, hardly any meat. The flavor was a blended sweet sour taste. Vegetable with coconut sauce - 5 stars - I don't know the name of this dish, but I haven't seen this sold at any filipino restaurants I've been to. Overall, they offer a variety of great tasting different filipino dishes, especially a lot of vegetable choices that is cheaper than other restaurants. Parking is sometimes stiff and competitive.
Ate here a few times now and I get reminded that Waipahu probably has the best Filipino restaurants on the island, but it's sooo far for me to drive here for Filipino food. I only get to eat here when my wife has a dentist appointment upstairs. They have so many great choices. Maybe it's a good thing they aren't in town where I live otherwise, I'd be chubby lol. Anyways, I love the pork adobo and pork guisantes the most. The lechon kawali is good too. My wife always gets the squid guisado (gross lol). She also gets some kinda soupy looking dish that's yummy too. The parking lot is shared with several other establishments so it maybe hard to find a spot, but there're street parking too. The staff are quick and friendly. The ordering style is like a food court and there're a bunch of tables and chairs to eat on. When you're in the area, come on by.
