Pampanga Kitchen Waipahu Plaza - Waipahu, Hawaii

I had the combo plate, pork adobo and pinakbet. The pork in pinakbet was dry, chewy and tasted old. Eggplant was way overcooked and the pumpkin undercooked. The pork adobo tasted like it was in the refrigerator for a day or two and they warmed it up. It did not have an appealing Color or taste. Both dishes were just not good. Shame that they can mess up a staple Filipino dish. The only thing fresh was the steamed rice.

The restaurant is undergoing renovations (I think). There are foldable tables and chairs on the floor and old refrigerators not being used at the entrance. The atmosphere is hardly business worthy. There is only one menu and it is at the cashier so you have to wait in line, look at what you want while people behind you have to wait their turn to look at the menu. Thankfully it does not get busy enough to be a problem.

Customer service is decent. Nothing negative to say. I hope they take the feedback to make the restaurant better for its customers. It has potential.

Food was good, tried the lechon kawali and pancit. Lechon kawali didn't stick out but was still good. Pancit is really good. Had to ask for sauces tho. I liked how the tables are spaced out and not cramped. Service was excellent. There’s a bathroom which is a plus. Atmosphere is nice and open and is clean and organized. Overall great place!

Me and my wife recently had the pleasure of dining at Pampanga Kitchen and I must say, it was an incredible experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a cozy ambiance that made me feel right at home.

The menu at Pampanga Kitchen is a true culinary delight. Their authentic Filipino dishes are bursting with flavor and made with the freshest ingredients. I had the opportunity to try their Beef Pinapaitan and Goto and it was absolutely delicious. The food was exceptional!!!!
The restaurant itself is clean, well-maintained. Just half of the dining area is currently undergoing construction.
Overall, I highly recommend Pampanga Kitchen to anyone looking for an authentic Filipino dining experience. The combination of delicious food, excellent service, and inviting ambiance make it a standout restaurant in the area. I can't wait to visit again and explore more of their mouthwatering menu options.

Part of the Waipahu Plaza location, near Pacific Market and Savers, was under renovation. I ordered last minute for a medium pan of Pancit Bihon on Saturday afternoon around 4:30 pm. They were able to rush me my order, I waiting in the dining area, it took the cook about 20-30 mins to complete my order. I was waiting her cook my order and moved as fast as possible. I was happy of getting my order, watching from cooking to wrapping my order. I was so pleased, I personally handed the Mama cook , a nice gratuity, we both happy walked away with big smiles. The pancit bihon was very tasty and presentation with fishcake was just the finishing touch. Pampanga Kitchen will be my go from now on. Prices are good and portions are excellent. TIP: If ordering for catering, its best to call their main kitchen, the one near to Pacific Market, more staffing and is one of the main kitchens. 👌
