“ Dont be scared off by the location in the corner spot of a small strip mall and unassuming interior. Selection of canned goods, frozen goods and desserts, variety of Filipino desserts. Also large selection of their prepared foods. I had tocino and 2 large sticks of pork bbq My Filipina wife had Bangus and young jack fruit prepared with coconut milk. We have fridge in our hotel room so we also got a small container of squash and green bean veggie mix. We also got a bag of Pan de Coco bun with chocolate inside. All food we tried was so LamiMasarap. We have been touring Canada and USA for 5 weeks and were both missing Filipino food. KAINAN SA KANTO is a must try if you are living or visiting the Long Beach California area. While we were there 3 separate Filipina locals came and also got large orders that is a good sign. The man who took our order was so friendly and he had 3 hard working people cooking behind him. He wished us a good rest of our holiday and hoped we would return next time in LALong Beach we will for sure. Highly recommend this food and the portions are so big we each took out half of our order. The biggest problem is so many tasty choices to pick from!! ”

“ Got takeout for a group order twice over the holiday break. This place is located on an intersection mini mall lot. My Filipino friends and family approve of the food, its solid priced and home style tasting. Out of all the Filipino places in SoCal I go to, this is on the short list. ”
“ Kainan Sa Kanto on Del Amo Blvd. in Lakewood is a hidden gem serving up delicious Filipino fare that will remind you of your Lolas or Ates cooking. The star of the show here is definitely the lechon. The crispy skin gives way to perfectly tender meat, making it an absolute musttry. Every bite is a flavor explosion! They have a great selection of other dishes too. The pancit was another favorite, with a savory and satisfying taste. The chicken adobo was classically delicious, and the bbq skewers offered a delightful sweet and salty balance. For the more adventurous eaters, I recommend trying the cow tripe with peanut sauce kari kari. It was surprisingly tasty and wellprepared. No Filipino meal is complete without dessert, and Kainan Sa Kanto doesnt disappoint. Their turon, those amazing sweet egg rolls filled with plantains, are simply divine. And to cool off after a satisfying meal, their halo halo is the perfect way to end your visit. Overall, Kainan Sa Kanto is a fantastic restaurant that offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere along with incredible homemade Filipino food. I highly recommend checking it out! ”
