It should really be Pam's Worst. They are irresponsible and unresponsive when you need them to be. They ruined my party by not delivering the food as promised. In addition, one of the chicken trays had raw chicken! Pam's Best should not be in business. They will ruin your party like they did mine. They will try to resolve issues by either being rude and/or ignoring your calls. Stay away from Pam’s Best. It should really be Pam’s Worst.

First off...we are AND will continue to be regulars at Pinoy Pam's Best! This was a pleasant surprise, tucked in the food court of Laguna Hills Mall. Our first encounter was at lunch time on a weekend, sampling the lecho kawali and marinated bangus with steamed rice. VERY nicely-prepared!!! To top it off we had turon saging ... WOW! This was a great first time experience with Pam's, especially in the middle of a weekday lunch hour! I want to point out that there was a line waiting for Pam's, so that was a great indication that this may be to our liking! Our biggest critics, our two boys, joined us that Saturday. MY GOODNESS ... fresh lechon! They were slicing it off the roast pig right there! We decided to buy an assortment of entrees, but I chose a $5 tray of lechon ... and finished most of it by myself (and the serving size was plentiful!). We've since come back a third time to Pam's and continue to have nothing but positive experiences from sampling Pinoy Pam's Best! We've met "Tita Pam" and she's right in the thick of everything ... Keep up the good work, "Tita Pam!" OakleyOC on Twitter My wife and I live in South Orange County and there isn’t a multitude of places that serves freshly-cooked Filipino food to choose from.

The food court is on life support. Half the restaurants were gone. I was over quizno's, over sbarro's. Saw Pinoy Pam's best. I love discovering different cuisines and have never had Filipino food. Man have I been missing out. Told the lady up front to hook it up. Give me what she would eat. I think she gave me chicken adobo and crispy pata. I was blown away. Going back there tomorrow for sure. And yes, every store in the food court had empty lines except for Pam's. It was like Filipino's were coming from every angle. I had no idea there were that many Filipino's in Laguna Hills. The line was backed up the entire time I was there. Check it out. Went to the mall today and as usual it was dead. The food court is on life support. Half the restaurants were gone.

Sure there is a place up the road on El Toro but they are a market that happens to serve Filipino food. If I was up in LA or Cerritos, there are probably a few places to recommend. Give Pam's a try. Pam's recipes are pretty good and she was a home cook that happened into catering. She's not a chef or trained, she just loves to cook and feed people. Everyone who was there was enjoying her food for sure! The problem here in The OC, is that there aren’t really any places to recommend.

Almost everyone would reply: "None." Being Pinoy myself (well, last I checked I was) I know there's a GINORMOUS difference between home cooking and restaurant quality when it comes to our cuisine. Hopefully Pinoy Pam closes the gap. I wish them well!
