History

Established in 2008.

Tommy had a passion-cooking pansit the old fashioned way. Matched with wife Luisa’s business acumen, this couple opened Planet Pansit in October, 2008. He comes from a long line of excellent cooks. From his mother, uncles and aunts worked as professional cooks. Luisa on the other hand is a tireless businesswoman engaged in financial services. Together with their children: Christian (16), Olivier (14) and Albert (11), decided to grab the opportunity to open their first restaurant. In an impromptu family brainstorming cum visioning workshop, they decided on the name «Planet Pansit», with the vision to provide a variety of best tasting pansit they cook at home. With Christian’s artistic logo, Olivier’s analytical knowledge, Albert’s mathematical and physical attributes, combine with the expertice of Auntie Ofel and Uncle Charlie, the family built this Little restaurant with care and passion. Today, Planet Pansit commands a growing clientele of happy diners and catering patrons.

I give Planet Pancit 5 Stars for Excellent Customer Service, cleanliness, and the food is delicious. Small orders or Catering, I still give them 5 stars. The people that works there are very friendly, respectful and helpful. I’ve been coming here for years and I haven’t had any issues with their service, food or other negative things to say about them.
Keep up the good work Planet Pancit! You rock :)

I usually don’t go out for Filipino food, but when I do, I usually get my pancit from Miki House across the street. I decided to try this place out. It is a small, cozy setup, with around 6 tables, yellow walls, and pictures of Filipino food on them. The place is pretty clean and well-maintained. We were greeted by a kind gentleman who helped us with the different sizes of the plates.
After a bit of deliberating, we decided to get the large size of the Sotanghon Guisado that usually feeds around 4 to 5 people. The portion size is pretty good. The plate was freshly cooked, and what really made took it over the top was the lechon that was added to the top of the Sotanghon Guisado. The lechon tasted pretty fresh as the skin that was on top of the fat was really crunchy. I definitely recommend getting the lechon even though it’ll take a hour at the gym to burn that off.
The service here is top notch. The worker that was there was extremely friendly and nice. I definitely enjoyed the food here and I will definitely recommend those that have tried Miki House to try this place as well.

Good food, friendly staff, best pancit in So Cal!!! Try it once at least! Family owned business that taste good, always a plus!

If you love noodles, or pancit, you will love this place. My personal favorite is the pancit hab hab or the chami, my brother loves their spaghetti, and my dad loves their bihon. To be honest, you can’t go wrong with anything you order. Everything is so delicious!
My family and I always feel so at home the moment we walk into the door. The owners are extremely nice and friendly. They can get busy sometimes, but it’s always worth the wait in my opinion. Plus, they also cater or take large orders for parties. Great food, great service, and free wi-fi! Planet pancit is AWESOME, and it’s my go-to place every time I’m craving pancit. I’m a big fan! More power to Planet Pancit!

yum!!! The best pansit to try in town. I got a free crispy pork for my small plate of pansit. Thanks to the owner as i didnt know that crispy pork is only for the large size order and she gave it for FREE.
You should try and come to this place if your craving a filipino style pansit, this restaurant wont let you down. Next time around i will try thier other specialties like palabok and chami.

It’s fumny, I was going to order #1, but the cashier told me, you need to wait 30 min. If you order #3 or #7, 10 min, cause the kitchen is making #3&7.
When food come, I asked, no pork? She said $ 1 more, bread 35 cents.
Food quality 2 stars, free water.

It’s delicious when you eat there for lunch or dinner, but large catering orders don’t turn out as good. I give 5 stars for small orders, and 2 stars for catering.

This is a good filipino restaurant because it specializes in a specific dish, «pancit» which is Filipino noodles. Pancit here is better than any Filipino restaurant I’ve been to. I personally like the Canton noodles. There’s a few to choose from and they are typically topped with fried pork, shrimp, fishball, beef, or quail eggs. I always order take out because the place is very small. Like many Asian restaurants the interior is tacky and simply doesn’t help your appetite. Service is typical filipino. They can be slow, chaotic, but friendly. I would entertain non-Filipinos with food from Planet Pancit.

Although their pancit chami is really good, their customer service sucks. We came in to eat at around 6:15pm and we got the feeling that they’re rushing you to finish eating and leave. Closing time that day was 8pm but they don’t accept any more orders after 6:30pm even if it’s a to go order.

Every time I’ve had food from here, it’s the Miki bihon guisado, and it never disappoints. It comes with lechon kawali on top of the pancit but no other meat. I wish it had some chicken! Try it with some tokwa on top. It’s amazing. The dining area is very small and dark. It’s not ideal for eating in the restaurant.

A little shop hidden in the plaza amongst other Filipino favorites! The lady who helped me at the cashier was super friendly. I got a small order of the Miki Bihon to go. A generous portion for only $ 3.99! I like the Miki Bihon because it has two different types of noodles. Lots of different types of veggies, shrimp, and I think pork. It was tasty and I would come back to try the other varieties of pancit!

I like this place. People are friendly. Service is average. Good freshly cooked hot pancit/noodles. they serve authentic Filipino food and special noodles. My favorite is the miki /chame pancit which they cooked in various ways typical from QUEZON province. Delicious!
I took my visitors here and/or order take out-they like it.

Love this place since they opened in 2009. I wrote the first review which Unilocal allowed to expire.
This reminds me of a classic pansiteria in the Philippines. They do offer one of Lucban’s favorite, Chami. Chami comes in the classic tasa (bowl), toyo (soy sauce), or tamis-anghang (sweet and spicy).
I tasted the Bihon, Miki, Miki-Bihon and have yet to try Canton, Malabon, and Sotanghon. If you are craving for Filipino-style Spaghetti, try theirs when you want something more delicious than Jollibee.
Fried Fish Balls are staple after-school snack. I always eat my Pansit with the Fish Balls.
The weekends are busy due to the catering orders. Ensure to call ahead.

I don’t know pancit but honestly I don’t see what the big deal is. Also they do notaries so someone came in for that at the same time as I was there, the woman sat down at the table next to me to do it.
Cheap and decent but nothing I would crave or go out of my way for.

I come here too often. The woman, who appears to be the owner, knows my name. They are very busy on weekends. These people here are so busy, sometimes they don’t answer the phone. I would not order anything from them on a weekend, unless you first ask them what noodle dish they will be cooking next, and ask for that dish. The first couple of times I went there, I failed to ask and ended up waiting over 30 minutes. After the horrible waits, I decided to ask them what dish would be convenient for them. It works like a charm! No more waiting. But, that also means no more ordering since I get the surprise special. The noodles are okay. Interestingly, they put roast pork, and quail eggs in all their noodles that I have tried so far. The wife like this place. I dunno… I like greasy Cantonese noodles better.
2 ½ stars.
