Heading to the Philippines in Jan '27, so scouting out different dishes in preparation for our…read moretrip. If Kabayan Kusina is any indication of what we will experience, coming back home might be purposefully delayed. Located in a shopping center across from the HEB on De Zavala, nearly hidden, is a restaurant waiting to treat your taste buds to a wonderful meal. The Sisig, pork belly, is so flavorful that it in itself is worth a repeat visit. Wifey added the Chicken Adobe, upgraded the white rice to garlic rice and added lumpia as a side dish. Push all 3 to the middle and let the festivities begin. The chicken is tender, sauce is tasty, and the mixture of all 3 just makes us excited about our upcoming trip. Just before you push yourself away from the table, be sure to ask if they have the Ube Crème Brûlée Cake. It's only available on the weekends and it goes fast. It's a purple mousse cake with a caramelized top. Light, so fun to eat, and it made us spoon fight to the final piece. I had thoughts of licking the plate afterwards, but I was on my best behavior. To sum it up and In the words of the Filipinos...Petmala! The inside tables are packed together so go early and get a seat. The customers came in, ate and then made room for the others on a fairly quick basis. Peaking over and talking to the customers next to us made the experience fun and gave the place a good vibe. The owner and waitstaff were super friendly as it is accustomed to their culture. No doubt we are coming back soon and probably will bring another couple to enjoy.

I usually get the same thing as I don't eat pork or beef, but everything looks delicious, and appears to be made with love. I usually don't visit during the lunch rush but today I did, and the music was louder than it usually is, so the conversations seemed to fill the room. It felt like a party where everyone was enjoying themselves. Shame on me for only having 3 check-ins, because I come here often lol. Bring the kiddos on a Tuesday and enjoy only paying for the adults in your group!!

They were sold out of lechon so we got a dish where the pork belly was chopped and mixed with a citrus sauce (served w/egg on top so very breakfast-y). The shrimp pancit was decent and the fried rice was blah (tasted like the frozen stuff you can buy frozen at the grocery store). The Cassava Cake was our favorite dessert but the Sapin-Sapin was fun too.

The setup is different from other buffets in that they plate everything for you. They ask what you want and they ask how much and dish it out. The food was good. There wasn't anything that I disliked, but nothing jumped out as amazing, either. I asked if they had halo halo and I was told they do but it's $10 per and that seemed too much for me. Also, the lady who served most of our food was addressed as Susie, so I guess it's her place, but she didn't really smile. It always bothers me when food service people don't smile.

This filipino spot is far from me but was worth the trip! We tried their longanisa plate and a pork…read morebelly combo. As a filipino, I love sweet longanisa but I prefer the sausage wrapped ones because I like a bit of char on it. I didn't love their pancit, but loved their garlic rice. We also tried their kwek kwek (fried quail eggs) and it was tasty and love that it came with suka (vinegar sauce). I asked for a sweet chili sauce as well. There's a few streetfood items here that's hard to get elsewhere in San Antonio, like bulaklak. I was tempted to try even though it's pretty unhealthy. They're crispy, fried pork tissue fat and usually have a nice chewy texture. My favorite thing that we ordered was the pork sisig. It came out on a sizzling plate. I just wish it had more mayo and garnishes on it. Mostly just pork flavor. Our waiter was nice and the freshly made juice was amazing. We got a huge glass of fresh watermelon juice and calamansi lemonade. The restaurant itself seems like a venue for parties too, since they have a small karaoke stage. They also connect to a small grocery store with several Filipino staples. I was able to pick up Datu Puti vinegar and some Boy Bawang cornick! I'd come back if I was closer in the area or if i'm really craving a Filipino dish that I can't already make at home.

I thought it was great value for a meal with a savory entree, rice, and 2 lumpia rolls included. I got one of the specials, pork rib Kaldereta. It was a yummy and comforting Filipino stew with tender ribs and vegetables. You can't go wrong with any of his specials, and I definitely want to come back to try more!

I…read moreapproached the truck to pick up my order and after ringing the bell (appeared I was being ignored by the girl rolling lumpia in the truck) and waiting several minutes I tapped on the window to get her attention. I politely greeted her hello and said "order for Mariah", she only opened the window enough to hear my name and then slammed it back shut not responding to me. Then she turned back around and gave me a 5 min hand signal. As I waited for my food I noticed she was either on FaceTime or watching videos with her phone on the prep table/cutting board while rolling raw lumpia. This is so unsanitary, phones hoard ALOT of germs. As for the food, it was ok, pork sticks could've used more char and sauce, lechon cuts had an equal amount of meat to fat ratio, pancit needs just a touch more flavoring, rice was nice and dry the way I like it. I tried one lumpia because I was pretty grossed out about her phone and they were tasty, crunchy, and rolled tight. Overall it was ok. I appreciate the tables and sitting area to enjoy my meal if ever so.
