During Filipino History Month, we had the pleasure of celebrating with a meal from Hi-Fi Kitchen in Los Angeles’ Historic Filipinotown. Known for bringing Filipino flavors to the heart of L.A., Hi-Fi Kitchen combines the comforting tastes of home-cooked Filipino meals with the vibrant, local twist of Angeleno culture.

Since its founding in 2018, Hi-Fi Kitchen has been dedicated to strengthening Filipino-American representation in the neighborhood, and it shows in every dish. We tried an assortment of their menu items, which brought out the depth and variety of Filipino cuisine while also offering vegan and gluten-free options to cater to a wide range of tastes.

It was a perfect way to honor Filipino heritage and savor the creativity of Filipino Angeleno fusion—a true taste of home with a unique L.A. flair.
