    Torta talong   Ig:feed_ally

    Gets the Filipino food cravings fixed. When there is torta talong you must get it if you like eggplant and eggs. $8 for one

    Excellent portions

    I went with a group of friends for Father's Day to Kabayan and was pleasantly surprised. They have a family feel with the store on one side and seating one the other side for your meal. The menu is extensive with lots of options to choose from appetizers to entrées to kabayan, and that can be split with a large group of the notable options was the sisig, the pork, and our table really loved the fish. The service was friendly and the staff was very attentive to our party. We decided for dessert to have some ice cream and the Ube flavor is delicious! They have it available for purchase in the store, we ended up leaving with two half gallons. All in all I would recommend Kabayan for a visit.

    Happy to be able to eat out again. Crispy Pata, lechon kawali, Boneless bangus Sisig and Bulalo are delicious.

    Omg for the love of all things good DO NOT GO HEREEEEEEEEEE. I was charged $31 for a small container of kaldereta and a mini size chicharon bulaklak. I was so shocked. I kept asking if it was right but it seemed like the people that worked there thought it was normal. I guess I just feel bad because i'm sure they don't get paid properly but wtf!!!!! Honestly if the food was good I think I wouldve just swallowed my pride but OMFG terrible terrible I was so disgusted. If you want a one way trip to the ER This place is it!!! Absolutely terrible. I cant believe how terrible it is. Truly gave it a chance because I thought people were being harsh... THEY ARE NOT. In fact think of the worst food youve ever had and multiply it by 1038338282882828384. Save yourself the trouble and run!!!!!!

    Was in the area waiting for pizza to be ready so decided to stop in and see what they had. It was my second time inside. First time, was last summer during the pandemic, I walked in and left because no one was inside and didn't see many options. This time I saw people going in and out, so went to take a peek. There was a line for the hot food station (that's a good sign) and they all looked to be Filipino (even better sign). Saw that they had my favorite noodles, Palabok, so I got on line. Ordered a large (quart size) and ordered a pint of what looked like pork belly stew. The customer in front of me suggested getting the sweet plantain spring roll, so I did! I also grabbed some of their seasoning packets to try and make my own Filipino dishes...can't wait! Everything I bought was yummy! But I probably wouldn't get the spring roll again...I would stick with the traditional spring rolls. I will definitely be back to try other things.

We ordered very easily on a huge touchscreen that anyone and your Lola can see!!

I love that they renovated and now have a dining room with iPads to order. It does get crowded on the weekends but you can get a table pretty quickly. Their breakfast silogs come with free coffee which is a great value. They also kept their market in the back with Filipino items that you can't find in Asian stores. There's also baked items in the front including fresh pandasal. The best part of this place is the staff. They are the friendliest. I've been coming here for over 30 years and they always have a smile on their face. During Covid, they stayed open and literally kept me fed with their groceries. I'm so happy this is so close to home!

The place has changed a bit, slightly different decor from the last time we were there. The atmosphere was more "bakya" than Kabayan (from across the street). Still nice. They kept the bar, which is good. The staff was friendly, but kind of rushed us to get our orders before the show started. They explained it would have been more difficult to take orders later. The food was really, really good. All the flavors were on point. For the appetizer, we had some Crispy Chicken Skins. It was nice and crispy, but it needed some more salt. We had the Port Belly Kare-Kare, Beef Salpicao, the Pancit Palabok, Laing and Gambas. The one that stole the show was the Bagnet. That was mind blowing! Very flavorful and I highly recommend it. Dare I say that the food was better than Kabayan. The Key Of C band rocked the whole night through. Everyone was dancing and enjoying the great music. It was such a fun-filled night. Definitely worth coming back to whether it's for the food or the music.

The chicken barbecue sticks were flavorful and enjoyable. Unfortunately, the lumpia Shanghai didn't quite hit the mark for me :( it tasted like it was fried in older oil, and the filling was very minimal, so it felt like mostly wrapper. I was most excited to try the pork sinigang. While the broth had good flavor, the pork didn't taste freshly cooked and came across as if it may have been made a day or two prior. Overall, I really liked the vibe of this place and the friendly service, which makes me hopeful that my next visit will be better. I'd definitely be open to giving it another try.

Service is always quick and the line moves fast. The space has some tables and is very clean. I've tried the spam & cheese pan suisse, the kouign aman, the ube donut, the flan donut, the mango float donut, the calamansi basil donut, the macadamia sable. They're all good. I don't even know how to choose favorites but if I had to, the mango float donut from the summer menu is outrageously delicious. It's the perfect sweetness and amount of cream to mango chunks to mango puree to pastry. I also love love love the passionfruit matcha danish and the flan donut.

I'm glad to see they have a brick & mortar now and the space is well-designed and the kitchen area overlooking the pastry display, there's some seating which was nice to see (I was expecting none), and the staff was so friendly! It was a Thursday around 10am and thankfully there was no line and they were still fully stocked. We got a bunch of pastries that I came in wanting to try and others that just caught my eye. Everything was honestly fantastic. If you're not looking to spend ~$40 on pastries, then the standouts I would get were the Passionfruit Matcha Danish, Ube Donut, and Strawberry Calamansi Shortcake in that order. The Passionfruit Matcha Danish was a perfect pastry (and I don't ever say that). The passionfruit cream actually tasted like passionfruit, the fact that they use Kettl matcha shows they take quality seriously, and the white chocolate ganache mixed with the matcha powder made for such a creamy, delicious, and earthy bite. The fried brioche on the Strawberry Calamansi Shortcake was so pillowy and fresh and I loved the white chocolate chantilly. The Ube Donut was honestly quite dense but what I liked about it was that it was filled to the brim with ube pastry cream! And this cream tasted unlike any other ube cream I've had; it had some texture (not fully creamy), great ube flavor, and balanced sweetness. I found the ube glaze on the outside to be too sticky and slightly weird but the ube brioche & pastry cream helped me quickly look past that. Both drinks we got were also beautifully crafted, the flavors were spot on, and the layers were distinct. They looked better than they tasted but honestly, I'm comparing it to the incredible pastries so it's a high bar. I wish they had more savory (non-pork) pastry options. All in all, a great first visit here and I'd definitely come back!

    Interesting selection of Filipino groceries on the front and an incredible cafeteria style steam…read moretable in the back with a large, clean seating area. I don't know much about Filipino food, all I know is that every thing I got here was heavily seasoned, hearty home cooking. I got the combo with three dishes. First I got the eggplant and pork, which was seasoned with shrimp paste. This was very rich and salty and savory, and although I have never really eaten Filipino food before, this dish gave me an intense food memory but I couldn't nail down what it was reminding me of. The pork is soft and fatty and gelatinous. I also got some kind of chicken stew which came in a sauce of tomato and bell pepper. This was my least favorite the three, but still a solid dish. It reminded me of my mom's chicken chili but more intense and heavily seasoned. The chicken has small bone fragments I had to be careful to pick out. Lastly, I got the pork adobo on the employees recommendation. It was super tangy and vinegary and the pork was very soft and fatty. I got noodles with my meal, but after they were already on my plate the employee told me all these dishes go very well with rice. I wish I had gotten rice, it seems that's the way to go and I will certainly do so when I return. This food is hearty and well seasoned and the portions were very large and more than worth the price. I paired my meal with a couple interesting drinks and a dessert from the grocery sections and had a fantastic meal. Looking forward to my next visit.

    I'm a new fan! Was learning a lot more about Filipino restaurants in Elmhurst & on Queens Blvd…read more because they never seem like a lot of options for a decent lunch when I'd run errands at Target. A friend mentioned a grocery store nearby & I was happy enough since grocery stores are my one of favorite things. Before the restaurant space & grocery consolidated, I noticed the restaurant first (there were many different doors) & was wondering what kind of businesses was it - saw a few tables & it looked busy with people buying food at the steam tables. I looked but was intimidated by the different stews & nothing was labeled. Also, the giant name on the awning doesn't really show that it's a food business, I guess unless you know the language. I always thought it was some kind of furniture store. The "restaurant" has now moved inside the grocery store. I think it works pretty well, because it's so casual. There's about 6-8 tables and every time I go there's always aunties and elders eating. & a lot of people after work or maybe school going in to pick up their dinner. The food is fresh! I recommend the 2 combo plate & add a side of soup. There's a little bit of ordering anxiety, but I watch what other people are getting & if they're not too busy the young workers behind the counter are very nice about explaining things. I've had the beef calderata (beef stew & tomato), pork with liver sauce (actually really good, soy-saucey & deep. Not a strong liver flavor), vegetables (long beans, carrot & okra) in a sort of yellow, turmeric? coconut curry. Highly recommend getting their Sinigang soup of the day. If you like kind of hot & sour flavors (more on the sour end but a clear broth) try it! It's usually with pork but I had a special Salmon one & it was delicious! Found a whole okra & good vegetables in it. Ask for garlic rice (might be extra), it's worth it! There's a lot of options to try, sometimes there's BBQ skewers. You can also get individual sides, Pancit (a rice vermicelli noodle), saw a plate of Pancit Canton (lo mein noodles) come out from the back for a lady. Wish things were labeled or there was a written sign. Very much geared towards Filipino customers who are familiar with the dishes so I guess it's not a high priority. You also can't go wrong with Chicken Adobo (stewed chicken with soy sauce, vinegar, ginger. But has bones). The tables are clean & it's like a little canteen feel where every seems to run into an auntie or uncle they know. There's a case with a lot of coconut desserts & tapioca flour treats, and drinks. One single bathroom FYI. I forget if it's cash only (their register is separate from the grocery's), but paying with exact change in cash is probably easiest.
