Review Summary

Overall, Kalapow earns praise for flavorful, comforting Filipino dishes and generous portions, with crowd favorites such as adobo, sisig, lechon kawali, kare kare, and sinigang, and desserts like halo halo and kalamansi leche flan noted as standout options. Service quality appears mixed, ranging from warm, welcoming staff to slower pacing and longer waits for mains and desserts, plus some confusion at checkout about payment methods. Some interactions were described as tense or unclear, though apologies and attempts to resolve issues were noted. Ambiance is described as warm and homey with modern touches, parking is usually easy, and the menu offers generous portions at affordable prices. Taken together, despite occasional hiccups, Kalapow remains a popular choice for authentic Filipino comfort food and is a place many diners plan to revisit.

This was my first time trying Filipino cuisine, & I was delighted. The prices are reasonable, the serving size was good. I had a main meal along with a dessert, which were both delicious. One thing I could mention is that some people may find the food a bit salty (maybe it was just the meal I chose), but I like salty food. I guess one could ask to not have it as salty, but I really enjoyed it as it was. I also had some sort of fried banana dessert which also came with some ice cream, which was so good as well.

There's usually a lot of tables. I would say this place is a bit of western-filipino food fusion. Some dishes are westernized, & yet, it doesn't lose its filipino food taste to it (which is really hard to do). I've brought both filipino & non-filipino friends here, & they all love it. Their food could take a bit of time to cook/prepare (within 15-40 minutes, depending on order) because they are prepared/grilled as you order, but it tastes freshly made! I love their BBQs & kamayan foods if you like variety. They are good for 2-3 people, depending on how hungry you are! Their desserts are also good. I love the turon, peach mango spring rolls, & ube spring rolls. Oh, their halo-halo is pretty good too especially in the hot summer days! I wish they had luminated signage, though. It was a bit hard for me to find the first time around, especially when all its neighbors are well luminated. I also thought they were closed because it was dark, so be sure to check the door. Here's a collection of our photos/videos from our visits:

We made reservation for 6:30 on a Monday. We ordered a few dishes for 7 adults & 2 children to share & it was enough to be full without over eating. Out of all the dishes ordered, our least favorite one was the sizzling pork sisig & the chicken wings...it felt like there was lack of flavor, maybe it is an off day. My personal favorites were: the pork skewers; so flavorful & the grill taste was simply divine! Followed in order of preferences: the salmon seviche with taro chips, the spaghetti filipino sauce, the adobo pork, the lumpia, pancit noodles. For desserts, we ordered the 3 different kind of deep fried rolls & halo halo. My personal favorite was the ube, then peach mango, then the jackfruit plantain.

The service was disappointing. We were served utentils for everyone, 4 napkins, & no plates. Even when the food came, we still didn't have plates to eat. We had to request/remind our original waiter. We had to remind them we didn't get our drink either. Water was filled only once (2 bottles filled all 9 glasses) so it was only as we finished our meal that we were broght more water. Another employee ended up helping our tables for the dessert round as we ordered almost all of them to share. This time around, this employee was on point.

The service took a while, but we were in good company so it helped.

I would recommend paying attention to the basics & do them well, & it would make this place a must place to eat for Filipino food.

Thank you for a flavorful meal.
