Kambingan Filipino Express Restaurant

94-366 Pupupani Street, Waipahu, HI 96797

"This little deli have really good Filipino deserts. And hard to find ones such as Uber cascaron."

"Upon entering this restaurant, I was received with an attitude of neglectful indifference. However, rather than turning around and leaving, I was pleasantly surprised to see that an effort had been made to improve the food line presentation. Although, the hand written price altered signage was illegible. Upon ordering Mungo, I was informed that it was sold out but then a container from behind the line was presented and scraped along the sides to produce a small crusted over serving of what should have been added to the garbage bin. Unexpectedly, it was placed in a small serving dish and microwaved for reheating. Without realizing the scraps were intended for me, I had already ordered a different item, served with rice. Both dishes were presented on a tray to a cashier who proceeded to ring up what seemed an excessive charge. Famished and without complaint, I regrettably paid for what turned out to be a most disappointing meal. Initially, it was served cold and had to be returned for another microwave visit. Due to less than friendly staff, coupled with overpriced, below average food quality, I'll not be returning to Kambingan since there are so many better options. To each his own!"

"It is a nice place. The unfortunate thing is that these types of restaurants no longer offer combo meals. You pay for each food item. A 1/2 lb cup of a dish costs between $6.75-7.75. A scoop of rice is $1.75. The rice scoops are pretty small, so you probably want two. That means a two-item combo will cost $17 minimum."

"A very informal place to eat but you can get fresh vegetables if your local. It gets busy at lunch looks like and a local stop for sure. A one off stop if your visiting."

"The dessert was awesome. I had the banana lumpia and loved it! It wasn't too busy when I was there. Perfect place for a Filipino food experience and they have enough seating for dining alone or with someone, they also have a banquet room. Make sure to check them out and to ask for their pricing. It wasn't too expensive but then I only bought a banana lumpia. It was really good."
