    Kamayan Grill offered a laid-back ambiance as we walked in just before 3 p.m. for a late lunch. It wasn't busy, and the food came out 15 minutes after ordering. The grilled stuffed squid was perfectly cooked and very tender. The Chopsuey was delicious, and the vegetables weren't overcooked. The pork BBQ was mildly sweet and tender, the chicken inasal was average; not the Bacolod style, but still good, and the Batangas lomi was comforting. It satisfied my Filipino food cravings. Service from Clariss was great.

    Coming from the Midwest, there are not a lot of Filipino restaurants in the area other than in Chicago. So during our latest annual vacation to Orlando, Kamayan Grill certainly satisfied our craving for Filipino food. The Kare Kare and lechon kawali are very good. Save space for dessert. Halo halo was superb, same with buko pandan. Service was outstanding, even though weekday lunch was quite busy.

    Whenever I miss my Lola's cooking, I come to Kamayan Grill to get my fill of home cooked Filipino food. I love their Laing and kare kare! Those are my comfort dishes and I'm always so disappointed when restaurants don't do it the way I'm used to (of course there are different variations) but this place is the closest to my Lola's cooking. The Kare kare stew is thick and peanutty with a hearty amount of beef and the Laing is the perfect combination of spicy and umami. They also have Filipino spaghetti and it's so good, omg. Sweet and savory at the same time and whenever I crave Jollibee, I just order from here because Jollibee is way too far from me. Service is friendly and welcoming and restaurant is small but cozy and clean!! My go-to spot for sure!

    This place is amazing small but comforting. We tried different items to see what we best enjoyed. Sinigang pork was one of our favorites w the lumpia & quail eggs. We will be back again! We wouldn't do the Butangas Bulalo not much in this soup for $24.99 but it was tasty.

    Spotted Kamayan Grill when I was in the area and had visited Adega Gaucha Brazilian Steakhouse and Crush Yard which are in the same plaza. I asked some local Filipinos about it, & they recommended it. Finally stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and it was packed. We got a table at a good spot. It wasn't too close to the person singing which is great for us. We ordered lumpia(Filipino fried spring rolls), chicken adobo, and bistec Tagalog(beef). My fave was the bistec tagalog. Reminded me of my mom's cooking and when I was a kid. My husband liked the chicken adobo. We didn't love the lumpia. Seemed like it was frozen and fried, like I just bought it at the Asian supermarket and threw it in the fryer. FYI, rice is additional and with these dishes, rice is absolutely needed. I ordered garlic rice bc it's my fave but with these dishes there's so much sauce, plain rice would have been fine. Garlic rice is still so so good(my fave). My fave fave from this lunch was the halo halo. I think it's the best I've had in a long time. I have had the halo halo at the local Filipino ice cream shop in Orlando and this one was def better in my opinion, it's also bc they did include leche flan in it. Service was good, and assisted us when needed. Glad I got a chance to try it. I do want to try one of their Bilao platters such as the All Grilled or Ultimate. But the dishes we selected were not part of them so we were happy with what we ordered.

    Authentic Filipino Cuisine in Orlando. On Sundays they open at noon and a few of us were lined up right before opening. We first checked out the to-go dessert counter and ordered a couple items foe home before sitting down. Large space with plenty of tables, lovely wall decor and a mini stage with instruments. We were SO excited to see they have Filipino brunch silog so we each ordered one. Everything we had was delicious and authentic and good portions. The staff are friendly and attentive and the food came out fairly quick. My friends who live in the area already plan to come back.

    Had a wonderful experience at Kamayan Grill! The food was absolutely delicious--everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The service was just as impressive. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. I highly recommend Kamayan Grill and will definitely be coming back!

    The ambiance was great and the location is good too. The staff is very homey and nice. They were fast to take our order, bring the food, and clean up. I love how they helped my group pack up our leftovers afterwards! Food was delicious, but the bulalo and lomi was a little salty. In addition to the soup dishes, we also got the ultimate bilao which had appetizers, side dishes, and main dish. It was very filling for a group of 4! The sago't gulaman was good, but the mango juice and calamansi juice were a tad watered down. Overall, I would definitely go again. Also, the bathroom is single stall, so when it gets busy, I can only imagine how long that line would be. The staff mentioned that there are karaoke nights, so I bet that's fun!

    Ultimate bilao, great for first time trying and liking grilled foods!

    If you're looking for an authentic Filipino food experience, Kamayan Grill seems to be it! My first real experience with Filipino food was a hit and multiple other large Filipino families were there. We got an ultimate bilao mixed seafood and grilled meats platter, kare kare (oxtail in peanut sauce), pinkabet (mixed veggies in shrimp paste), and Halo halo. The lumpia were great here, very meaty, filled, and not over peppery. Pork belly was another hit with high flavor and grilled nicely, not over charred. Garlic rice and the pork rinds and fish complimented nicely. I'm always a fan of okra and eggplant so the veggie selections were up my alleyway. The oxtail kare kare had a nice thick peanut sauce and super tender. Halo halo was large, shareable and had lots of dried fruit pieces in it with the shaved ice and ice cream. The only one I didn't love was the Pinot spaghetti - flavor wasn't something I liked and I dislike when rice noodles of that thickness get harder when cooled. Space has booth seating and is a medium sized place, but can accommodate large groups. There is a sound stage with a cover band at least on a Saturday and open mic karaoke with live band accompaniment. Very vibey! Definitely worth many visits back to try the rest of the menu!

    We really enjoyed the delicious food and everyone was so friendly! We'll be back when we're in Orlando again!

    In almost every state, my parents and I are always on the hunt for Filipino food. We've been coming to Orlando for years and have finally found one right in the middle of Universal Studios and Disney World! Their cooking did not disappoint, but we always look forward to the service these restaurants bring and Kamayan Grill offered only the upmost quality. My parents are already talking about coming back to eat here soon again.

    Halo Halo.

    Food and service is top notch. Come hungry. Enjoyed the Breakfast boodle and the crispy pata. Don't forget to end the meal with their Halo Halo. Plenty of space for families to enjoy.

    Craving Halo Halo from this very hot weather. So from what I recall this place serves the best…read moreloaded Halo Halo. Came in and it was 4 tables filled. I pretty much ordered the Classic Halo Halo - They have another version that leans more towards Americanized but the classic is the Filipino Traditional version. When it was delivered - I noticed it had more milky shaved ice than toppings. (As you can see from the picture). The toppings included - Shredded coconut, Flan, Ube Halaya, Colorful Kaong, Sweet beans, Sweetened Banana and Jackfruit. Before you can see it was more loaded in the glass. The price was $10.50 which is not bad for the size. The milk shaved ice was tooo sweet for my liking. I can tell it was a pre made milk ice block that they shaved once ordered. It fulfilled the craving nonetheless. Also I noticed some were buying the Siopao. Especially the Pork Asado one. They were almost out inside the cooler. I was told by staff that someone delivers the siopaos (the baker) and they are 4 huge siopao for $10.95. The Siopao were the BEST I have had. Better than the filipino franchised bakeries, That is how good these are. You can tell they are homemade. They are large tender soft fluffy light dough and not too thick ratio with the pork asado filling. The filling is packed inside the dough and that is what I love about this siopao. Its not mostly dough. It is evened out throughout - Every bite you get the filling. I will def get these again. Service here is ok - I noticed the check out tab .. They divide the taxes when you pay the bill and its confusing at first as to why they add 3 types of "taxes" for a bill. You are paying 3 taxes along with the sub total of the bill. Other than that - The Halo Halo was a popular dessert this day throughout the diners,

Except for, I ordered Turon early on (eggroll with plantain inside) my hubby's favorite. Before the customers came in and before we served up the food. When it was time to pay, they haven't cooked the Turon and we have to wait 15 minutes for it. Which we didn't. The server apologized. The ambience was casual. The AC is not that good. They had fans all over to keep the place somewhat cool. We ordered chicken chicharron, too salty. Bangsilog was bland, the chicharron made up for the taste. The longsilog, my husband didn't like. He said, it's not the same as the one I usually cook for him. It tasted old to me. The garlic fried rice was good. Not going back.

The flan has its off days sometimes its good sometimes its a little burnt / grainy. The palabok here I can tell its a Mama Sita gravy mix.

The pork rinds theyhad this day tasted kind of stale not crunchy or tasted fresh. The Sago / Gulaman do not have the banana essence syrup. So that kind of lost its authentic touch.
