The Park's Finest

In short, This place is a MUST TRY. Fantastic food, ambiance and the most hospitable service. With a few more details, I heard about this place from a friend and it looked very interesting to me so l decided to try it. Not your average boq that's for sure and for LA BBQ this is a huge positive. It reflects the owners' backgrounds and neighborhood with a take on delicious bbq. Johneric, and his wife are part-owners that I met and they had the most fascinating stories of how some of the dishes came to be. The stories showed us how much thought, heritage and love is in the food. The inside was clean and the decor symbolized the Filipino twist in the bbq you're about to have. The service was fantastic, prompt and quick. Now for the food; Every single thing I ate here was delicious. On Wednesdays, you get to try many things in one plate and that's what they call the Wednesday worker plate, and that's what I got. Pulled pork was juicy without the sauce. Links were great. Candied chicken was fantastic. The cornbread was amazing and has a hint of coconut. The star of the show for me was the coconut beef adobo. It was so delicious I had to order more. So l got another order of the coconut beef adobo with rice and packed the leftovers to go. It was fantastic. This is a unique plate to Park's Finest Boq, and if you're visiting LA or a local, you should come eat this here, and I'll tell you why. It's not a dish you can find anywhere else. The slight heat with coconut mix and beef chunks mixed with the warm white rice created a heart warming and belly craving feeling that's make you a happy you tried it. For dessert, the Ube flan was amazing. Great texture and flavor. I can't say no to anything Ube. The table sauces are fantastic and I could put them on everything. I wish they would bottle them. They have a good selection of beers on tap and in the can. Great location close to echo park and downtown and mid city. There is street parking but if you can ride-share here that might be best. I HIGHLY recommend this place and will def be coming back.

Had high expectations of this place but after coming here I was pretty disappointed. It's not terrible but it is very average, overhyped and overpriced for what you get. Service is pretty bad too as I asked for water nicely but they didn't even bother to get it and the server laughed about it as if she was proud of herself. I will say that some of the dishes like the coconut beef, cornbread and mac and cheese were really tasty. However, the cornbread is very overpriced for what you get. It came out to about $12 for a small plate of it. Keep in mind that everything is a la carte so you end up having to spend a lot per person for very little. The tri-tip was awful and definitely not worth the price. It was close to $20 and wasn't even as good as store bought tri tip. Very small quantity too.

Love the food here, I got the Wednesday working man’s plate! Had a little bit of everything, links, chicken, adobo, sweet corn bread and pulled pork! Everything was tender and delicious . Excellent selection of beers too, I’ll be back!

Server (I forgot to ask her name) made sure we get the best experience and food to eat. Thank you! Timuay Tri-beef and Adobo is a must try! Bibingka cornbread and ube flan. Parking would be a challenge (street parking). If you're looking for good Filipino food, this place is worth the visit! We will definitely be back for their microbrews (and food) Added to favorites :)

The food is amazing.
