Easy to place an order highly recommend the pancit and shanghai, the staff who took our order was nice usually when I call a restaurant they sound like they want to hang up
Love this place! Super friendly! Had their lomi, mickey bihon and veggie lumpia! Always a hit! Service was great! Place was clean
Little Ongpin is by far my favorite Filipino fast food. The pansit/noodles are made to order. For years, I've been coming here when I want some fresh made pansit, and it goes well with their vegetable eggrolls. Of course, I also get a few fried banana turon for dessert. The staff is very nice and fast too.. my noddles are done in less than 15 minutes. I think I'm going there right now..ha
My family has been coming this place for over 20 years and it has been a consistent source of delicious, hearty, and heartwarming Lomi. I never pass up the opportunity to pick up a bowl (or several) whenever I visit my parents.
Love this place! I normally order the Arroz Caldo, but I have ordered Pancit Bihon, Sotangon (Thanks to Gerald's recommendations) and more. Customer service is great and everyone is so kind. I will continue to come here for the food and the Thai ice tee in a can. The Thai ice tea can is so much cheaper here compared to other stores selling the same product. A special THANK YOU to GERALD for being so patient with me when I order and for the great customer service and laughter!!! I definitely appreciate it especially after a hard day!
Servers were very nice and the restaurant itself was clean. The food was fine for its price but I think I was mentally expecting more in terms of taste.
Good food and nice people. Always fresh and meets expectations. Whatever I missed of Filipino foods, they're there to equalize.
This place is a great value for a standard, fast Filipino combo. Taste: The pork adobo sauce/drippings are really tasty. When they ask you if you want to drench your rice in the juices, definitely say yes. As with all steam tray places, the meat can tend to get over cooked if it sits too long, so I think the batches can be hit or miss depending on how freshly they've swapped it out. But more than not, I think it's been really solid. I'm a big fan of the sinigang too. Experience: This is just a little hole in the wall strip mall place, the seating is nothing special. Most people probably get this for takeout. The food is mostly pre-cooked so it's really fast and easy. The people were friendly and good service. Mood Before/After: Before going to Little Ongpin I was having a really hectic day running around. It didn't cause that to subside, but I was glad the quickness of the meal didn't contribute to any added stress. Fullness: it's a little too much food. I often wish there was a good option to cut the richness of the food, and maybe I just don't know which option that is. What else did I eat/do today affecting my experience: The first time I went, I was helping to host a house party and running errands before I went to this. I don't remember what I had for breakfast, but I was really hungry and distracted. I think it made me feel extra positive about the place when it tasted good.
