Bautista's Filipino Kitchen - Aiea

I came here for a one item combo. I forgot to take a picture of my food lol I ended up getting one combo item which was tripe in a bitter soup with white rice and a can of diet coke. All this for $15. A little steep but the food was delicious. Most of the food here is authentic and delicious. The Filipino ladies that work here are nice. Location is inside the mall at the food court inside Pearlridge which is right at the center of the mall. I have tried the pork gisantes which has pieces of pork and peas. This was delicious as well. I think pretty much anything you try is good. I would come back again for more. Highly recommend if you love to eat Filipino food.

Quality of food is not good anymore and service was not good. Food wasn't made with care. Disappointed spent $16 for food that tasted bland dry.

Craving for filipino food and went to Bautista's Kitchen. Ordered beef lauya soup and pig feet with 2 scoop rice. The Price was $18.75!!! Mind you, without a drink. Just was blown away at the price. Taste was ok but portion given was all bones. I don't mind paying for good food but this was ridiculous!!I can assure you if that person serving the food was served all bones at any restaurant and paid any amount, she would've been disappointed! (to say the least). Unsatisfied customer here! Save your money and go somewhere else.

The Pancit is an entree now and not a starch choice. She didn't tell me that initially so my 3-choice plate turned out to be a 4-choice plate to the tune of just under $22.00!! But the food was really good for especially for Mall food. Pork adobo had big chunks of tender meat with potatoes. Kalbi type ribs were flavorful and tender. Pork Squash was yummy. Portion sizes were huge. I can make two meals out of it at least so the $22 isn't so bad. I'd go back again to try some of the other options. It's always busy so that says a lot. Plus you see Filipinos eating there so must be legit ‍

The veggie lumpia was bland. The mongo beans was good and just how I like it. The lechon is also good but could use more patis. One choice is $11.99 Two choices is $16.99 Mama had no customer service skills or maybe she just didn't want to be working. Overall 3 stars for me.
