Planet Pansit

Tommy Soriano had a passion – cooking pansit the old fashioned way. Matched with wife Luisa’s business acumen, this couple opened Planet Pansit in October, 2008.

Tommy comes from a long line of excellent cooks. His mother, various uncles and aunts worked as professional cooks. Luisa on the other hand is a tireless businesswoman engaged in financial services. When a unit near her office became available Luisa brought her husband Tommy and their children Olivier, Christian and Albert to the site and decided to grab the opportunity to open their first restaurant.

In an impromptu family meeting cum visioning workshop, they decided on the name “Planet Pansit” and set out with the vision to provide a variety of best tasting pancit this side of Los Angeles. Today, Planet Pansit commands a growing clientele of diners and catering patrons.

The couple met in Los Angeles, California although both hail from Quezon, at the foothills of picturesque mount Banahaw. Tradition and culture abound in that province. The Pahiyas festival (feast of San Isidro Labrador, patron saint of farmers, Kiping (colored rick cakes used for decoration during the Pahiyas), Longganisang Lucban are part of the colorful lore of Lucban.
