Mabuhay Kitchen: Reviews & Ratings
Food taste great. Love their goat curry but they only have it on Fridays. Great "turo-turo/to-go" eatery!
Been going to this place for almost 10 years now, sometimes we order catered food too. Best bopis in town. The pinatisan adobo is also very unique for a southern tagalog gal like me. Top other favorites are ginataang seafood and bicol express. Very consistent cooking and flavoring!
Ang sarap! One of the best filipino breakfast in the Cerritos/Artesia area! Located next to Power One and across from Yup Duk, in the same shopping center as Seafood City. It may look small, but these dishes pack a big taste! I love to order the 2 item breakfast combo: comes with garlic fried rice, and I usually get the fried bangus and longanisa. The bangus fish tail end is what I prefer versus the head and it comes with vinegar. I also love to order the pompano fish for either lunch or dinner as well as their menudo. It is a small place, so I prefer to pick-up the food and eat it at home. The service can be a little slow at times, but I am willing to wait when it comes to good food. So "long live" this filipino food establishment, Mabuhay Kitchenette, and may your hunger satisfaction be long lived!
Authentic Filipino food since the 80's. We always go here whenever we go to seafood city. We get things to go
The food trays that I would order from this place have become my favorite as well as my guests because of their sumptuous taste. The pricing is affordable and right for the quality and quantity of the food you get. The staff are very polite and always do their best to serve their customers as quickly as possible. The place is kept clean all the time.
This is one of my selected places to go for breakfast for their pinatisan (it's like an adobo but cooked in fish sauce) because my bunso loves it so much. Their dinuguan like everyone says taste like the authentic one in the Philippines. Their food at least is cooked fresh all the time. I don't have complaints on their portion of rice on the togo container because it is sufficient for one meal and I am a rice person too. The last time I came, they did cook a whole batch of eggs when they ran out on the first one for breakfast. The staff are alright and to me are friendly. Maybe because, I smile first and I am a regular customer. I love to strike up conversations with them for a change in the humdum of their daily business. Prices are posted so if you don't agree just move to another place. I am grateful for them having fresh food early in the morning .
