Point-Point Joint

Point-Point Joint brings authentic Filipino street food culture to East Hollywood with their specialized focus on pares, the beloved Filipino comfort food that combines tender beef with garlic fried rice. The restaurant's name references the Filipino tradition of pointing at various dishes in cafeteria-style eateries, a casual dining format that makes Filipino food accessible and approachable. Their signature dish, beef pares, features slowly braised beef in a savory-sweet sauce with star anise and soy, served alongside perfectly seasoned garlic rice and a clear beef broth soup. This classic Filipino combination has been fueling late-night diners, shift workers, and hungry students throughout the Philippines for generations, and Point-Point Joint faithfully recreates this experience in Los Angeles. The menu extends beyond pares to include other Filipino favorites like tapsilog breakfast combinations, crispy pork dishes, and satisfying noodle preparations. The restaurant caters to the vibrant East Hollywood and Silver Lake neighborhoods, areas with diverse populations that appreciate authentic ethnic cuisines. Point-Point Joint's approach emphasizes the honest, unpretentious nature of Filipino food-hearty portions, bold flavors, and affordable prices that reflect the democratic spirit of Filipino street dining. The restaurant serves as a late-night destination where the Filipino community gathers alongside food enthusiasts seeking substantial, flavorful meals. For Filipino-Americans craving the familiar taste of corner paresan joints from the homeland, Point-Point Joint delivers genuine flavors that transport diners back to the streets of Manila while contributing to Los Angeles' expanding Filipino food landscape.
