Filipino comfort food: crispy pata, pork belly, lumpia
























"At the stadium I found Oming’s Kitchen—originally a Las Vegas food truck that now has two brick-and-mortars—serving Filipino eats from a stadium stall, including pork belly and chicken bowls (listed at Section 320)." - Janna Karel

"At 5180 Blue Diamond Rd I found the earlier brick-and-mortar that Pilas opened in 2019 (just before the pandemic), which also occupies about 1,800 square feet and serves her Filipino dishes that grew out of the original food truck—lumpia, pork belly, chicken and later expanded items like adobos and pancit to better serve the local Filipino community." - Janna Karel

"This food truck serves traditional Filipino street-style food. Chef Salome Pilas, who hails from the Philippines, may only offer seven items, but each dish shines. Some of Oming’s praised dished include her pork sinugba, pork belly that’s grilled and marinated in house barbecue sauce and served over a bed of Jasmine white rice, and the adobo, a diner’s choice of pork or chicken, that’s cooked in soy sauce, vinegar and secret spices, and served over rice. A restaurant opens in the southwest at Blue Diamond Road, just west of Decatur Boulevard, soon, but her food truck generally parks at UNLV." - Bryan A'Hearn


"Originally a local food-truck mainstay and UNLV campus favorite, the restaurant opened its first brick-and-mortar in the southwest to long lines even before doors unlocked. Overseen by Salome Pilas, the 1,356-square-foot casual counter-service spot maintains the truck’s simple menu and similar prices: 12 thumb-size Filipino-style lumpia (spring rolls) for $6.99; a chicken option; a craveable pork-belly sinugba served over jasmine rice for $8.99; and an $11.99 combo with six lumpia plus a choice of meat. It is located near Decatur Boulevard and is open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m." - Bradley Martin

"Opening Aug. 24 at 10 a.m., I’ll be visiting Oming’s Kitchen at 5180 Blue Diamond Road for its first permanent, 1,356-square-foot home serving Philippine-inspired street food; the menu will include its food-truck favorites such as deep-fried lumpia spring rolls and portions of marinated pork belly over jasmine rice, and the spot sits a short distance from Decatur Boulevard next to a Little Caesars outpost and the newly opened Mazzoa Donuts." - Bradley Martin
