Art's Kitchen

The only Filipino game in this area and it's 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.

Don't 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.

Great food and customer service! Found this online on my way home to vegas from Universal City. Our new Pinoy food destination in cali.

I asked my Filipino friend where to get good Filipino food. He suggested Art's Kitchen in Duarte. Therefore when I went to Irwindale, I decided to stop by at Art's 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.

Art's 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!!!

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.

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

An Asian Epicurean delight.

Great service and clean place and food taste real good

My first time trying this place with my wife
And it was amazing! Good sized portions and great prices. !! The people were nice and gave out samples, would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking to try something new. Food tastes like a home cooked meal .not over greasy or frozen.

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

Very friendly staff and great food!

1st time trying their Chicken Adobo and I loved it! Very tasty! And Pancit was delicious.
A great Hidden Gem with quality food! Worth trying.

First time here ! I was so impressed by their clean an orderly kitchen. Everything was fresh and delicious ! Tilapia and pancit for me . Chicken adobo for my buddy and nilaga pork for us to share ! Everything was fresh and delicious

Having moved to Monrovia within the last view years, I am happy to say there is a QUALITY filipino restaurant close to us now. No longer do we have to travel to Chaaste Market or Arko in Glendale to get fine food when we are to busy to cook. :)

I love this spot. Their Lumpiang Shanghai is to die for. And their Pancit.

I just tried the pork adobo with rice for the 1st time. It was amazing!!

Good home cooked Filipino dishes

This is my favorite to go pinoy food.
