Arts Kitchen in Duarte

The only Filipino game in this area and its goooood 😋. During covid there is no dine in. You order cafeteria style. You can do combo plates or al-a-cart. The combo says to choose rice or pan it, but you can actually ask them to split it.Dont forget to try the halo halo 🍨, lechon 🐖, and the pata 🐷

Why did I wait so long to try this place? I guess because I thought it was another Filipino place I tried a while back, that was good but not great, but just realized it was further west on Huntington. Anyway, stopped for lunch and they have your typical buffet table with Filipino favorites to choose from as a combo or a la carte. I tried a 3 item combo with lechon (crispy pork belly), beef Kare Kare and a chicken dish which I’m not sure what it was other than delicious. They give you a choice of rice only or half rice and half noodles (i think it’s called pancit) It also comes with free soup. All the dishes were delicious and somewhat elevated compared to your stand bys like DJ Bibingkahan or Pinoy Pinay. Even the rice was cooked well. Hard to explain the difference other than the quality of ingredients and care, probably cooked in smaller batches which makes a world of difference. There are a few other sit down restaurants that serve Filipino food but not “fast and ready” like it was here and certainly not at these prices. My whole meal was about $12 and was enough for lunch and dinner. Definitely coming back.My only gripe was they didn’t have goat (my fave) or the traditional sour and savory tamarind soup (also a fave). The corn soup was great, but just had my taste buds set on the tamarind.They change soups daily, so will have to come back often to try their version.Finally my pro tip. If you want lumpia (small egg rolls), call ahead. They said it would be around 20 mins for those, so will have to call ahead for that next time as well.

Need to order and reserve before 1pm or else slim pickings. Not chea

Food tastes consistent with every visit.Clean place.

Art’s is the closest Filipino restaurant in our area and boy are we glad we have them. Food always tastes like how they should and the people are always so nice and answers our questions patiently. Will keep on coming back.

Arts Kitchen is awesome! Great food and great service! Love their prices and the food is delicious! We will definitely be back here next week! Great Filipino Cuisine indeed! Maraming salamat guys!!!

I asked my Filipino friend where to get good Filipino food. He suggested Arts Kitchen in Duarte. Therefore when I went to Irwindale, I decided to stop by at Arts Kitchen which is within a mile from Irwindale. I got fried whole fish with bones and head everything in it that I had long time ago at a Korean restaurant. They gave me some vinegar sauce and banana ketchup. That vinegar sauce was so good that it made the fish tasted better. Fish was good by itself. They have ready to go food like in Panda Express. Rice with 2 items is $10.50.

Great service and clean place and food taste real good

Not one of those lunch places you would think of everyday but I m glad I did today. Great service, food is good and its a fast, easy and healthy meal. Picked up a catering menu and cant wait to try their catering food next.

The food here is good and the price is cheap. Highly recommend! Its carenderia style with a variety of filipino dishes to choose from. The people there are also very nice.
