Reviews for Cabalen in Vallejo, CA
1st time here, I'm not an expert on Filipino food but I do love food and know the difference between something delicious and... something bad. I have to say I really enjoyed my meal. The employees were awesome, very kind and patient with us. The foodwas really good, we picked 2 of the combo plates and got a few drinks. My kids who are very picky eaters enjoyed every bite. They have a nice variety of dishes and desserts. Restaurant was clean and we felt very comfortable eating here. Read more
My partner called several times on 12/21 to place an order for Christmas. When she finally got someone on the phone, she placed... her order, gave her phone number and cc number. The person who took the call never even bothered to put the order in, never gavea confirmation number. Had to learn that the hard way - coming in to pick up our order that didn?t even exist. Update as of12/31 - the owner Glecy has since made amends, and we are forever grateful. Read more
I went there because they were supposed to be an AYCE BUFFET. They are not. The prices seem a little on the high side but the... food is okay. The workers do not speak English very well so it is not easy for them to answer you when you ask them a question. I would recommend to this Restaurant that they put labels on their food dishes. I have seen people walk in and right out ofFilipino Restaurants because they don't have the time to find out what kind of Food was being offered. Seems like most FilipinoRestaurants do not take the time to label their their food dishes which is a shame because I believe they would make a lot moremoney if they did. Read more
It is as close as you can get to Southern California goodness when it comes to Filipino food. Too bad they ran out of... chicharon. I wish we had more of these "pick up" turo turo style places. I always come back for their sisig, bicol express andas I say, their chicharon. Read more
Cabalen has always been a favorite resto of ours! My family left California years ago and we finally were able to visit again... recently and we made sure to stop by Cabalen. Food selection is great, always freshly cooked. Their sisig is a must try!! And ofcourse their buko pie and caramel cake are the best!! And also the titas/manangs are accommodating and friendly! Dining area isopen now! Read more
First time going to this location and usually I love CABALEN at South San Francisco location. When I found out they have a... Vallejo location, I had to check it out. I got the Afritada and chicken adobo for two item and rice combo. The chicken adobotasted like its been cooked for how many days already. I only ate one piece of the chicken and the rest I throw it away becauseit was unsavory. As for the Afritada, it was unpleasant to eat as well. Afritada is my favorite filipino dish and I cannotbelieve I had to waste it. It was really awful. Usually, afternoon is the best time to get filipino food because that is whenit's newly cooked and ready to serve to people. But from what I saw the buffet style food were really dry and unappetizing tolook at. I was so disappointed that I don't think I can really recommend people to go here for lunch time. Read more
