Always looking for a Filipino restaurant! Wonders never cease to amaze us but we found one in Rocky Mount, NC. Wow! The area is somewhat depressing though as many local and small businesses are no longer there. It's a bit deserted and a little depressing because this part of the downtown area could be wonderful. So, Kabayan Bites has been around for about 3 years and it is family run (the husband does the cooking). Angelina was our server and did a great job, especially in asking us if we wanted to try dessert or talk about some of the food.
My wife went with Tapsilog, marinated beef slices with rice and a fried egg. I went with Pancit Canton, egg noodles with 4 different proteins. Flavorful! The tastes were so strong and good. They have most of the popular Filipino dishes that are expected so when we come back through, we are ready to try out their lechon kawali and chicken adobo. The restaurant is a partial grocery store and a pickup station for personal shipments to the Philippines (Balikbayan). Seats about 30 to 40. There is a bar and it has energetic vibes. Staff is very friendly and are willing to help you out and get what you need. Food is plentiful and delish. Parking is street parking and seems to be plentiful. Overall, if you want to try something different from Asia, try Filipino and Kabayan Bites! read more
