LOS ANGELES — People come to Little Ongpin from as far as Las Vegas for lumpia, steamed pork buns, beef caldereta and other Filipino specialties.
But few of these loyal customers know that the restaurant is on the edge of a neighborhood called Historic Filipinotown.
"We have Koreatown, Chinatown, Little Tokyo, but in Filipinotown, nothing," Beth Villago, whose mother opened the restaurant in 1980, said as she rang up meals and fielded phone orders.
