Overall, Kalapow offers a welcoming Filipino dining experience with authentic flavors, generous portions, and a warm, family friendly atmosphere, with many reviewers praising tasty dishes like adobo, sinigang, crispy pata, and halo halo, and noting friendly, attentive service and good value, though some visits were hampered by slow service, long waits for mains and desserts, and occasional missteps at checkout or with updates to orders. A recurring theme is the contrast between standout dishes and uneven timing, with some diners calling it a go to spot for comfort food while others felt timing and staff communication could improve.
There has already been words circulating about this place, & finally I can say it deserves a visit. The ambiance is above expectations; the service is very good; the foods are prepared as you order them; the price at par with other restaurants; the location is very good. Be very careful when you have dietary restrictions, be sure to ask. I strongly recommend this place.
the foods were good po, but the service sobrang mehhh.. huhu naenjoy sana namin if not for the service. improve your manpower po it will help lalo na kung may events

The best place to eat & they serve good foods with the best quality of taste & the atmosphere was nice & relaxing not to much noise & we are so happy the way they served us.Kalapaw is a highly recommended for any person who likes Filipino Dishes.thumbs up for Kalapaw👍
Pour la première fois mais pas la dernière ! Les plats sont exquis mais pas chauds, belle présentation & les viandes sont bien marinées. Le service est timide mais ça va!
L'ambiance chaleureusement avec un décor moderne! Le parking est accessible & pas loin de l'autoroute! On a essayé un plat populaire & c'était humblement suffisant pour deux avec des variétés de viandes! On a adoré !
Some of the tastiest food I've ever had! There's very few times that you have a plate of food that gives you that kind of happiness on a plate. Absolutely delicious!
This eatery serves several unique, authentic platters, including the delicious & crispy lechon kawali, adobo chicken, & crispy pata. Regrettably, many traditional kamayan platters for two have been removed from the menu. We usually finished our meals with the dessert Halo-Halo. However, the service was slow & slacky. On our latest visit, a Sunday at 8:35 PM, the server refused to serve us the Halo-Halo, stating we were the last customers & they wanted to close.

Cuisine un peu décevante. Ayant déjà mangé de la cuisine des Philippine, je m'attendais à quelque chose de plus goûteux. Les calmars étaient corrects, sans plus puisque les morceaux étaient petits, donc beaucoup de friture. Les nouilles avec poulet ne goûtaient rien du tout & étaient grasses.
Le service était bien & le restaurant bien décoré.
Came here with my family for the first time. The interior was rather modern & clean. We were quickly sat & it didn't take long for our orders to be taken.
Our meals came out quickly. We shared the Lumpiang Shanghai, which each roll being delicious & crispy. We also shared the following meals: Adobo, Lechon Kawali, Sizzling Sisig & Palabok. For dessert, we had the Halo-Halo, the Calamansi Leche Flan & the Buko Pandan. It was my family's first time tasting this cuisine & everything was well-liked.
The service could have been more attentive. When we finished our water, our waitress took away the empty bottles but never came back with them. We had to remind her to bring us more water. However, this wasn't a big issue.
Overall, it was a lovely & great experience for a family dinner. Great culinary experience for my family as well. Would recommend!
The food & service at this restaurant is amazing!! Everything is so fresh & delicious: we ordered the oxtail, pork skewers & garlic fried rice. I highly recommend to those who want to try the best food from the Philippines!
Excellent resto! C'était notre première expérience de nourriture philippine & nous avons trouvé cela délicieux! Les portions sont généreuse & nous avons donc apporté les restes pour manger le lendemain. Le resto est très beau avec une belle ambiance. Nous le recommandons fortement!
