The hot and ready food is ok. I've had better. The sisig very dry and hard. This place is so small and crowded. The service is very very very slow which makes it even more crowded than it should be. I wouldn't come here again. I'd rather go to Lutong Bahay. It's also small but much faster service and better food.

So many prepared food options. And the volume of catering shows they are doing something right!

Nagse-serve ng kakanin nila nangungulangot tapos tatawanan ka pa na parang nakakatuwa ginagawa nila.Bago nila sinara bathroom nila for public use, napakarumi, mapanghi, at hindi nililinis. Pero araw-araw ang dami kumakain tapos wala sila bathroom for customers?

Good place to get some freshly cooked Filipino food. Located on the east end of Glendale almost straddling the Eagle Rock boundary, Arko has lots of parking and it's easy to find.Been coming here for years and the quality has been largely consistent. The only difference is what many reviewers have been saying: the prices have gone way up. Used to be the best deal in town for fresh Filipino food. And they have a lot of dishes to choose from, with some of your standard fare like pansit and pork adobo, but other items you'll need to go far and wide around LA to get like sisig. Come early enough in the morning and you can fix yourself up with some scrambled eggs and longanisa. Catering is available here, too.Just to note, they do have a small fish market in the back and a few aisles for your canned goods and other basic products. But you're really here for the fresh food.And that's what will keep me coming back...the food. Yes, it's pricey now, but it's still worth it. See for yourself.

I have to agree with some of the previous posts about the price of the food. We got some takeout food recently and we were in shock at how much the food cost. It's almost better to go to a sit-down restaurant. We ordered a large container of bistek and it was about $30! I think their food is good. In the past we've ordered, sisig, eggplant omlette, pancit, turon, lumpia and laing. All of those were good. I do enjoy their food, but it's starting to cost too much.

Wow, I have been missing out. The hot food is typically priced for a Filipino joint but they offer sooo many options. The food is fresh. looks piping hot, and offer daily specials the day I was there they had $1 fried chicken. The only down side is the lack of sense of urgency, ok ok I get it, don't complain but really there was more than enough workers to accommodate the overflow of customers. Typical filipino spot but bigger! It was my first time thankfully, I figured it out while observing the other customers, once you walk in the first thing you do is grab a ticket for service, while you wait for your number to be called thats when you check out the food. The prices are different, I couldn't even tell you how much a combo was because there are no prices. The pancit, dinuguan, adobo and afritada was good! Give them a try if you are in the area!Outdoor seating, dog friendly

I've been coming here since I moved to the area and it's been a good experience except for the time I did a catering order.I ordered on Tuesday for a Friday pick-up. I called and placed the order and the order take took my name and confirmed the date and time for pick-up. I thought I was all set. I called again about 30 minutes later just to ask about price once more. The worker who picked up the phone was different than earlier and I told her I just called to place an order and she said she couldn't find it "but it's probably just downstairs because we don't always have a the orders in one place." I should have known then to get someone's name.My dad goes to pick up the food on Friday and lo and behold there's no food and there's no record of my order. I was so mad to hear about this because it was an hour to our gathering. Fortunately, they were able to cook the lumpia order and we were able to get some of the food that was still at the turo turo. But it wasn't what we originally ordered.Here's my advice to anyone ordering catering 1) get the staff member's name who took your order 2) call 1-2 days before to confirm your order 3) call ahead of time to confirm your order on the day off. Otherwise, I've had a great time here and they offer a lot of high quality Filipino food, it's always busy and it's a sign that the food is so good. I highly recommend the bistek, sisig lechon, Palabok, Turon, Laing and bangus. Also they have kakanin sold outside on the weekends and it's pretty good, I really like their pitsi pitsi.

Was in the Glendale area and was told this place had some good Filipino food. It's a small grocery store with lots of hot Filipino dishes prepared for to-go combos and or catering orders. I had already eaten so just dropped by to pick up some sweet desserts to go. Purchased all pre-packaged sweet Filipino desserts and was pleasantly surprised the desserts we bought to-go were really fresh and delectable. Will have to come back next time to purchase some hot dishes and give them a proper food review. My Rating: 4Food (Desserts) 4.5/5Service 4/5Price 4/5 Ambiance 3.5/5Cleanliness 4/5

Arko Food International in Glendale is my go-to grocery store for authentic Filipino products. The store is large and well-organized. One of my favorite aspects of Arko Food International is their extensive selection of Filipino products. I can always find what I'm looking for, from staple ingredients like sinigang mix and coconut milk to more specialty items like bagoong and tuyo. The store also offers a wide variety of fresh produce, meats, and seafood at reasonable prices.However, Arko Food International is more than just a grocery store; it is also a gathering place for the Filipino community. The staff is friendly and always willing to chat and make suggestions. I've even met other Filipino customers who have become friends as a result of their purchases at Arko Food International.I would highly recommend Arko Food International for authentic Filipino products or simply great grocery shopping. It is a standout spot in Glendale because of its selection, prices, and community atmosphere.
