The food is delicious! My family has been purchasing the turón for years! It is such a delicious pastry! As for the service everyone is always helpful and extremely respectful.

The best turon! The family loves their turon. It's the perfect size, ratio of banana and langka is just right. I don't like langka but it is mild here and compliments the banana. It stays crispy all day long- so come early on holidays. It's a no frills, small store with free parking. Lots of other goodies there, too. Good kutsinta, empanadas, puto, ube biko, buko pie, buko pandan, etc. The service is great, they take the time to get your order. During the holidays, the line can be long. You can preorder or like me, go when it first opens. I was there at 7am Christmas Day and only 2 people ahead of me. Got my Turon and served at 2pm and by 8 pm only a few left and still crispy. Bring cash- they take cc but add a few percent.

Little store so expect to wait in line on the weekends. No AC (just a fan) inside during the summer and it can get hot while you wait in line. Their fried bananas are to die for! Tastes best when fresh! When pre-ordering thru the phone, I recommend picking it up right on time since it can get soggy, nothing an air fryer can't fix tho.

Have been back here several times to order Turon (banana and jackfruit, wrapped like an eggroll and fried) for family parties. They're $1.25 each. I remember when they were only 50 cents each back in the 90's. Sigh... oh well. They're delicious and worth it. I was craving buko pandan (coconut gelatin dessert) today and came in for some. There was a line, and a little crowded, but it moved pretty quickly. There was only one person working the front (Lisa) and she was very patient and friendly.

Interesting small mom and pop hole-in-the-wall Filipino bakery that I wouldn't have thought of stepping in if I didn't happen to be buying take out from next door. Saw customers frequent the bakery all the time while waiting for my takeout from next door so I popped in to take a look. Very unattractive interior with dry packaged food cluttering up 70% of the visual space. The remaining 20% is on the counter behind a clear shield with a few unattractive bakery goods and the remaining 10% is a small area with photos and words of other stuff they offered. I asked a customer what she likes here and she says everything is good and especially pointed out the empanadas ( not even displayed or out on the counter). After questioning the clerk on what everything is, I decided to risk it and ordered a couple of items. Everything I tried here was good. And l've been popping in almost weekly to see what they have on sale for the day. Offerings varies each and every time I've visited. But my all-time favorites/regular items I get are their empanadas (large and small sizes available- not heavy, oily or dry unlike other places, very addicting yet unassuming) and their sweet rice or cassava wrapped in leaves (I don't know what it's called but they are wrapped in leaves). I'm always back here to adventure for something new and never disappoints. No wonder they have a regular stream of Filipino customers who quickly come in and out, ordering what they know and want with ease.

Have been going here since I was little to always pick up turon for family parties and it's never disappointed. My mom always preordered and I love going in to pick it up because all the workers are so sweet and always make it known that they love seeing me each time! The turon is so fresh we have to keep the tray open for at least an hour so the turon doesn't get soggy ! I love also getting empanadas from here cause they're the best when they're warm. Whenever it's hot out and we're picking up I always get banana con yielo to cool down as well.

Kahali makes the best turon in West Covina! They are truly an institution, according to my friends and family who live in the area. They have a nostalgic cozy space with an extensive selection of kakanin (Filipino rice cakes), snacks, breads and other desserts. It reminds me of a panaderia combined into a sari-sari store. For a family event, my cousin and I ordered 2 dozen turon. I placed the order in advance via phone. Upon pick up at 11:30AM, I did not expect the turon to be fresh and piping warm from the fryer. The lady behind the counter has a great sense of humor, which made their service swift and homey. For two dozen, it is reasonably priced at $30. Cash is highly recommended since they do charge a percentage for credit/debit card transactions. Kalahi is my go-to spot for turon and other traditional Filipino desserts in West Covina!

We always like the Filipino Turon (Banana spring rolls), their turon are so tasty and crispy. We bought 24 pieces of turon today, each one costs $1.25. We also purchased the Ube Pandesal (purple yam bread rolls), which are moist and delicious. We placed the order in the morning but picked it up a bit earlier than our pick-up time. We waited for 10 minutes to pick up our turon. The place is small and outdated but we like their turon.

A small mom and pop for Filipino goodies! Located in small corner shopping plaza, you can find all sorts of snacks, meal items and desserts. I don't have much experience eating Filipino food, so I bought a bunch of things that I never tried before, because I was feeling adventurous (and was talked into it by the other customers and the employee who highly recommended some of the items. Hahaha) Honestly it feels like you're talking to family here, everyone is so nice. All the homemade signs and Knick knacks in the shop gave me the vibes of being at my parentshouse. Kind of messy, but homey. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, and I enjoyed everything I got (especially the Turon!), however my family didn't like the diuguan (pork stew) because it was too sour for their personal taste.
