what type of pancit?  "pancit-shanghai" or "pancit-luglog"(sp?)?

there are a couple on montrose and clark: "fishpond" and "little quiapo" -- right across from on another; buffet lunch at both places on weekend if you're looking to get a variety of filipino food for < $6-$7 (lunch).

on central, there's "barrio fiesta"; i'm not sure of the cross-street, but it's pretty far west past Western ave.  quality and prices are higher here, but worth it, i believe.

there's a "mom's shoppe" (bakery and restaurant) on peterson just off western.  haven't tried it yet.  they advertise a buffet on the weekends also.

on central and devon (or thereabouts, where caldwell is), there's another restaurant whose name escapes me.  haven't tried it yet, either.

Little Quiapo has a seafood buffet (quite good) on Friday and Saturday nights.

Central and Western are parallel...

The buffet is now daily, but it's not very good.

Pampanga's Cuisine.  I haven't been there in about 13 years, but I liked it then.
