There's Bistro Filipino on Amar Rd in West Covina operated by Hera Ramos....... Weekend lunch is $18.99. Only Filipino buffet I know in San Gabriel Valley.
Steve, except for the arroz caldo and champorado (the soupy rice items), all the breakfast entrees are intended to eaten with rice, that’s why they’re slightly salty. The garlic rice enhances everything. Trust me.😊 the champorado is best with salted fried dried fish- it’s like eating chocolate with sea salt…yum!
To be fair, when I eat at a buffet, I don't get a lot of rice so that I have room to sample more of the dishes. I definitely think dishes in a buffet shouldn't be too salty to be eaten on their own.
Steve, we should adopt you😁you've been to many filipino restaurants, and now 2x with BB. Lyn is genuinely friendly and accommodating. Thanks for supporting their eatery. You ROCK🥳
Bistro Filipino in West Covina has breakfast and lunch AYCE buffets as well. Also, their weekend lunch buffets have rotating items that highlight cuisines from specific provinces of the Philippines.
First of all great morning beautiful people's bamboo bistro all you can eat nice I know garlic has a really strong smell but is so healthy for you got to try that rice foodie vibes 🥇 thanks for sharing have blessed day byeeeeeeeee
Wow, what an amazing spreads. I love Filipino foods. Never get tired of eating them. Extremely flavorful. Lots of different dishes. One of my favorite is Kaldereta Kambing or Goat Stew. This dish is nothing but scrumptious. And Garlic Fried Rice. As simple as this dish is, it’s just delicious. I’ll definitely visit.
Thank you for visiting that place. Whenever we’re in LA, we always wanted to go to a Filipino buffet. There’s not to many of them. We will definitely eat there!
I wasn't too impressed when I came here with the fam several years ago. But it looks like they have improved the selections and they look delicious. May want to visit them again soon. Thanks for the review!
The goal of Filipino Breakfast is that it has the maximum amount of carb or energy for you to kick-start your day. Add the fact that we pair every dish we have with rice so you get the idea.
Thanks for featuring and liking Filipino food!! It makes our country proud! You’re a real rockstar when it comes to mukbangs! More success to you brother!! ❤️👏🤩👍🏼🇵🇭
I've been there a few years back celebrating a bday celebration. Love their food but haven't been back since. Now I'm thinking of going back and eat good Filipino food again.
Morning thank you so much for all this delicious Filipino food 😋😋😋😋❤️❤️❤️😋😋😋 ♥️♥️♥️😋😋😋♥️♥️♥️ I love all your videos on TH-cam your very professional on what you do keep doing a great job 👏
Tysm for showing us this Steve! I've been to bamboo bistro before for a big party so I didn't even know they did buffets. Looks like I'm going there one of these days to try it out, looks amazing! My husband's side of the family live in panorama city/and the valley area so I'll tell them we all should go! Lol
I'll just take fried rice, a little pancit, little tocino, big serving of lechon kawali, sinigang soup and a little arozcaldo (with toppings of lechon kawali)... Yumm... Coffee afterwards
I'm hungry bro ! Dont worry I subscribe to your channel 👦 I'm here in California for 22 years. In Carson Seafood there is also Filipino restaurants imiss it .
Love your video! Tocino and longanisa are permented sweet because they are a product of sugar cane producer like Pampanga where I'm from and also garlicky flavor from the North part of the Philippines. Thank you 😊
im a block away from this place i didnt know this place existed and i recently went to the philippines i fell in love with the food omg i can finally eat my favorite dishes
Big improvement. Thanks for promoting our traditional dishes. They are really a mixture of Chinese and Hispanic(Mexican) cuisines. That Champurrado (which is a Mexican hot choco drink) I think was the origin of that chocolate porridge that we eat for breakfast when I was a kid. My grandma called it tablea without the glutinous rice. Now, chop suey is more of a Chinese variation of mixed veggies soup. That crispy fried fish is called 'galungong'. It was called a poor man's fish because low income families can afford them. But now as a joke, it is being used as a measurement of how the economy is doing. 😁
Panorama City, my old stomping grounds. Lots of great restaurants and buffet. There's aLos a great buffet off of Van Nuys and Titus, right next to Roscoe and Van Nuys. Shout out 818!
the fried fish is mackarel scad. its fried crispy and you eat the crispy head and tail. you do remove the spine. typically eaten with fish sauce and chopped fresh tomatoes and rice
It's the 19 dollar lunch buffet basically. But for that price alone is worth it. I appreciate the interior. It looks classy. Would do the same, pair garlic rice with the fried milkfish if there is one. Add some beef tapa, chopsuey, a piece of sweet longganisa and a few slices of lechon. The soup would always be Sinigang pork most definitely. The arrozcaldo I would pick for breakfast. But since it is a buffet better get the most of it. If I'm not full by that time would finish it with a small plate of pansit.
Im fairly Americanized filipino with a filipino wife but we dont cook that many filipino dishes in my house as others. My wife tends to think i dont like Filipino food, but i always correct her and say "i love filipino food, but most restaurants typically suck and dont hold quality. I prefer it homemade like at filipino parties." I have yet to find a good filipino place here in the Inland Empire that consistently makes good food and doesnt go out of business. This place looks good and has been on my radar for years. After seeing this video, ill have to make a trip out there soon
If you really wish to feel, see and taste the soul of any nation's cuisine, you need to search it on the streets and remote places, mingling with the common masses in simple places. Just make sure you travel with a wel versed good local to be your guide so you can enjoy your exploration.
as for the deep-fried fish you are supposed to first eat the head (it's crunchy) then open its body and remove the bone then dip the meat into the vinegar sauce and eat it.
The lichon, pansit, chicken and/or beef adobo are just a few of the great things to eat at a Philippino restaurant but believe me there's so much more!😋❤️
Man, it's been a while since I've had a good longsilog... There was an AYCE buffet I liked a lot in Eagle Rock, but it appears that it is no longer running... that said, I think people would love to see you eat at Barrio Fiesta, while not an AYCE, is very traditional and delicious.
We eat that fried mackarel with the sauce you ate with the other fish (milkfish/ bangus). Those fish are best paired with plain rice and any vegetable dish like pinakbet or munggo (shout out to Jo Koy! Hahaha). One needs to be privy to the optimal mix and match sets of Filipino food to best enjoy places like these. Alone, some dishes don't really impress. But with the right combo, it shines. The anchovies for example, if you're familiar with the Indonesian Nasi Lemak, they include anchovies in rice sets. Its the same with us. I mean you can eat it with just plain rice if you want. No ones gonna scold you but its best eaten with a side salad of tomatoes, onions and green mangoes. Its the same salad that accompanies the salted eggs but I would eat that salted egg + salad with the bangus and garlic fried rice. *chef's kiss* Another typical combo is rice, fried chicken and chopsuey. This is a very common budget meal in roadside eateries near universities in the Philippines.
Over half the items are fried! I was so excited to go there after his first video but didn't eat much cuz all of the fried food didn't sit well with my stomach after the first plate.
Wish i could find Filipino food easier around me… usually i just eat the homemade stuff from Filipino friends cuz it’s easier :D will go here if I’m ever in the area!!!! Know of any good places in boston area?
Anyone had a Filipino buffet before?
Thanks for watching! Please also follow my INSTAGRAM for rocking food pictures:

Bamboo Bistro's Longanisa and Beef Tapa with Bagoong rice would be bomb. And sinigang!
You need to eat the anchovies with vinegar and rice. Yum!

I want to try all the foods it looks yummy
Chop suey originated in the US not China more of Chinese-American but not Chinese...
Mexican? Wasn't it Spain that had influence?
@@Desolas_ you are correct. Spain had colonized the Philippines for a little over 300 years.
But Mexican foods have more influence in Cali as Spain is so far away from the mainland.
Please go to Cerritos! It has amazing Asian fusion restaurants & has a large Asian population…Filipino, Chinese, Korean, etc…
i always go there onces a month is truly mouth watering 😊

For Filipino food highly recommend Salo Salo grill in West Covina or artesia
Cool
That place went downhill.The food quality and the servings are crap.Back in the days it was alot better…not anymore.
This looks yummy! Now I want to try Filipino food.
