Two minor “gripes” out of the way then I’ll move on: 1) bigger portions please, or at least have the option for one (aka more garlic fried rice please); 2) more locations! Perhaps Eagle Rock or Highland Park?? I finally got to try this place out while serving jury duty downtown and it’s so so good and addictive (and apparently Jonathan Gold agrees). Having a Filipino joint with a foodie twist is just so fun and I honestly never thought I’d see it. I’ve only had the Sari Sari breakfast, the wonderful homemade spam silog and my favorite, calamansi soda but I’m already in love. The suka (spiced vinegar condiment) is a bit different from my mom’s but still delicious and absolutely essential for cutting the salty fat in some dishes and taking the flavor to another level. Each diner has three main condiments on the counter: fish sauce (Patis), the suka and sriracha (though I’d have probably swapped that out for either regular or spicy banana ketchup, more legit).
Need to go back soon because I want to try it all: the arroz caldo, sisig fried rice, adobo rice bowl, avocado slushie (yes!!!) and of course, the buko pie! Sarap naman!
Ps bonus points for the super cute and authentic Sari Sari store decor�
Absolutely wonderful. First off, amazing service the guys were great and helpful. Had great conversations with the guys behind the bar throughout the meal. I ordered the Pinoy BBQ... now this dish is one of favorite meals. The flavors were spot on and wouldn’t change a thing. The ribs had a perfect char and the onions were the perfect compliment to the dish. I haven’t even got to the flawless perfectly cooked egg that accompanies the dish. I would give 10 stars.. thank you guys I will be back.

Walter and Margarita Manzke owners of Sari Sari Store were so brilliant in opening this joint in the center of Downtown LA. Perfect location! Same owner of one of our top 5 favorite restaurants in Los Angeles... République located in La Brea. I'm so proud of our kababayan Margarita and her talent and passion for food.
The Pork Adobo fried rice was so delicious same taste like the one in République for brunch. The Lechon Manok and Breakfast sandwich was great as well. And the Calamansi soda was refreshing and the Buko Pie made our night. We will definitely go back for some more. Love this place �
