Kabayan - Woodside

Came here for music on a Saturday evening 9pm-11pmThe kitchen was already closed.I was able to order some appetizers, (chicken wings and peanuts.)Food: 4/5

I loved this place for a number of years. Pre-Covid Kabayan used to seat about 20 or so reasonably comfortably(Seating kind of like an old style converted home kitchen). You would select from the available Philippine specialties then carry it to table. Maybe not Fifth Avenue style, but charming and fun none the less. The food was great and reasonably priced. I forget the actual cost, but I think that it was around 5 or 6 bucks for a meal of a main, rice, and a soda. The lines were long but worth the wait. As much as I still enjoy some of the specialties, some that we used to love are no longer in the mix... Before I start singing, The way we used to be , I 'll sum it up. The food is still good, the prices are higher, and the someone 's kitchen vibe is gone . I still would recommend Kabayan as a darn good Philippine takeout place.

Disappointing experience.I ordered the $75 ham to pick it up today (25th) morning time by texting the owner. When we picked it up, they charged us $95 instead of $75. I let it go since it’s christmas already and I don’t want to ruin my day entirely. When I get home and start plating the ham for the party, the ham was not fully cooked. Now I have to cook it. I do not recommend this place anymore! I used to love it but not anymore. So disappointing

I order a UKOY and did not enjoy it! its to crispy and i think it was a deep fry its so crispy through and through over fried.

Great! Love the service and staff are always helpful. Love the food very much. Nilagang Baka was great And the Kare Kare was sooo good! I loved everything in this restaurant.
