**Cabalen: A Mixed Bag of Filipino Flavors**

While Cabalen offers the promise of an expansive selection of Filipino dishes, reviews reveal a range of experiences. Some patrons express disappointment over cold and poorly prepared items, such as burnt lumpia and unsavory chicken adobo. However, others rave about the freshness and quality of popular dishes like sisig and the familiarity of the dining atmosphere. Service has received mixed feedback, with suggestions for clearer food labeling to enhance the dining experience. Despite some operational challenges, recent management changes seem to indicate a commitment to improving customer satisfaction. Overall, Cabalen stands as a restaurant with potential, but consistency remains a concern.

The lumpia was delicious! I received 11 pieces instead of 12, but I'm not one to complain. Still giving it 5 stars!

I usually order the lumpia, but this time it had a spoiled, unpleasant aftertaste. I had to throw it away, and I feel like I wasted my money.

Lumpia Shanghai (12 pieces) was freezing cold. The Chicken Macaroni Salad (16 oz.) turned out to be a fruit salad with no chicken in it. It was really disappointing. I recommend ordering from a different place.

All 48 pieces of lumpia are burnt and texture is hard, when it should be light and crispy. 3 stars for the restaurant being able to get it delivered in time but quality could be much much better. I got this for a work potluck and am embarrassed to use put it out

This was my first experience with Filipino cuisine, and while I wouldn’t consider myself an expert, I do love food and can tell when something is delicious. I must say, I truly enjoyed my meal. The staff were incredibly friendly and patient with us. The food was excellent; we ordered two combo plates along with some drinks. My children, who are usually very picky eaters, enjoyed every single bite. The restaurant offers a great selection of dishes and desserts. It was also clean and we felt very comfortable during our visit.
