Trining's Bakery Cafe - San Diego

Your food is not bad, but they need to improve their customer service. I called on a pick-up order to minimise the waiting time in the store, because as an adult I have to take over other obligations. They took my order, asked for my name and hung up. I called back immediately just to ask how long it would take, and the lady on the phone said to just come here and wait for her in a rather rude and impatient sound then hanged up again. I called back to cancel my order. I do not understand how such a simple question of a paying customer could be met with such hostility via a transaction. I never come to this place again.

5 stars for the Pan-de-sal (Brot). I'll go in, grab and pay for a pan-de-sal bag, then go out. Pan-de-sal is usually served for breakfast with hot coffee. Nothing nice. You can add cheese or mayonnaise or both! It has a mild sweetness and saltiness. I suggest using the oven instead of the microwave when heating. It will chew a little when placed in the microwave for more than 10-15 seconds. Enjoy!

Love going here for their porkchopsilog and my wife loves their tapsilog

My sweet Filipino co-worker recommended I try Trinings because it's her favorite. I finally got to try it today and I was impressed!BEST LUMPIA SHANGHAI EVER! 25pcs for $18.75)I'm not Filipino, buuuut I am a huge fan of lumpia, especially to bring to family gatherings/house parties/work potlucks. They're always a hit! Well TRINING'S HAS THE BEST LUMPIA! There, I said it! The wrapper is fried perfectly and crisp, but not oily/greasy. It's delicate and thin. The pork and carrot mixture inside was really tasty. Each lumpia held up really well. Every bite had equal parts meat and wrapper. They were about 5 inches long, so a pretty decent size. I've tried 3 other lumpia spots in the area, and this one is by far the best!!BEST PANCIT BIHON EVER! Medium size $17.50 but could easily serve 3-4 ppl)There are a variety of different pancit noodles to choose from. I was a bit overwhelmed to be honest because there were no pictures, only Filipino names. I went with the tried and true, thin noodles Pancit Bihon) and it was BOMB. The pancit here is fully loaded y'all. It has shrimp, vegetables, sausage, and lemons to squeeze into it. You will not be disappointed! Cooked well, not dry, wet, or oily. Literally perfection.PLATE COMBOS $8.99 to $11.99)There are multiple different plate combos kind of like Panda-style, where you pick your entree items). The combos usually come with white rice but I think you can sub for pancit for an add'l charge. I tried the garlic pork chop and pork adobo. At first, I was disappointed because the chicken adobo had sold out. BUT OMG- the pork adobo was DELICIOUS. They use fatty pork almost like pork belly) so the meat was very tender. The seasoning was perfect, not too salty, just right. Highlight of the two was definitely the pork adobo.GARLIC WINGS 6 for $10.50)If you like Golden Chopsticks wings, then you'll probably like the wings here better because the chicken remains tender and juicy and the batter is more flavorful than the competition. LOCATIONIt is located in the giant Target/85C/Menya Ultra plaza and towards the Vinh-Hung supermarket side.AMBIENCEI mean, this is really meant to be a carry-out place imo though they have like 3 tables inside. MENUI just wish there were photos accompanying each item on the menu b/c that would be much more helpful to someone like me. Instead I had to ask a lot of questions to figure out what I wanted to get.PARKINGThere are multiple rows of parking here and some 15 minute ones out front too. Usually not an issue in this part of the plaza,
