Cabalen Filipino Cuisine

Vallejo's best kept secret in Pinoy cuisine. For the moment you enter you can smell the flavors of the Philippines. The food is visually displayed on a steam table. All types of delicious items to choose from. I LOVE most Asian foods. Korean,Thai, Lao, Japanese, Chinese PINOY being my least favorite BUT Cabalen Filipino Cuisine has changed that.

Friendly service good food. Lumpia could be made fresh and not under a heat lamp

Always busy, especially during the holidays! They also sell baked hams during the holiday seasons

Cabalen is our go to in Vallejo when we crave for Filipino food. The food tastes great!

Ladies are wonderful and the food are excellent but the area is just okay.

The lumpia is great! I always go there for lumpia , the 12 piece is small and about $5-6

It's 2023 folks - no weekend breakfast buffet, but a very nice lady behind a counter where you can see all the offerings. Starts with a big serving of garlic rice [very good], then you choose 2 - I got the homemade corned beef [with a little "hash", also very tasty] and the ginniling [Ground meat and veggies - again, quite tasty] plus two cooked eggs [and she gave me a free little taste of the champrado (chocolate rice pudding) - not my thing]. for $14 + $1 for instant coffee + CC charge, taxes & tip for a total of $18. All helpings above were quite hardy, and you won't go away hungry. Different than Denny's and I'd go back if I am in the area again. Vegetarian options: Not really. Garlic rice. Parking: Shopping center parking, easy Wheelchair accessibility: Curb cut, long ramp up to door, no other issues

The regulars are wonderful people and so is the staff! They also let you have tasters, which is great when you can't interpret the menu. The lineup changes very day, so don't be afraid to experiment!
