I was craving "breakfast food" and was excited to see that Pinay Kitchen has all day breakfast. I ordered daing na bangus which comes with fried eggs, sliced tomato and cucumber, and your choice of white rice or garlic rice. I of course went with garlic rice. The presentation was nice. I got a nice meaty piece of bangus that was fried well. However, I felt it was lacking the vinegar/garlic flavor that I love in daing. The rice was a nice slightly sticky texture as expected, but like the bangus, I felt it was lacking in flavor. I can't even say there was a hint of garlic. The fried eggs were perfectly circular making for nice presentation, but the eggs were overcooked for this dish. For almost all "silog" dishes - eggs are typically fried over easy to over medium so that the yolk is warm and runny or warm and jammy. read more

I was a bit disappointed with the food. It wasn't bad but can't say it was very good. Didn't taste special or craveable. 3 stars because the lady behind the counter was very nice. read more

So glad we stumbled across this Filipino restaurant. Most of the Filipino spots we know serve their food cafeteria style. PINAY Kitchen has a full menu with made to order dishes. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. We had the Kare Kare, Palabok, and Adobo. The Kare Kare needes just a touch of aalt, but after I added the Bagoong (shrimp paste) that the waitress provided, it was perfect. They also gave us complimentary cups of soup before our entrees came out. Everything was delicious and the food presentation was just beautiful. I highly recommend this place and plan to go back. I can't wait to try the Crispy Pata and Sinigang. Yummmmm. read more

Went here on a Friday night. The place is deceptively huge. Didn't look like that from the facade of the strip mall where it's located. We had lumpiang Shanghai, lumpiang sariwa (Fred lumpia), pancit palabok and grilled chicken on sizzling plate. Everything we got was delicious. I especially liked the pancit palabok. The sauce on those noodles were just perfect. They gave a huge portion and I was happy to have a little bit of leftover which I as for breakfast the next day. I wish there were more people dining in since I don't want this place to go to restaurant heaven. I did see a few people do carry out. Food is really good. And so was the service. Will definitely go back. read more

We had an amazing experience with Pinay Kitchen catering for our church event in Woodbridge. The food was absolutely outstanding--authentic, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every dish was a hit, and so many people kept going back for seconds and asking where the food came from. The portions were generous, everything was well-organized, and the setup made serving a large group seamless and stress-free. You can really tell they take pride in their food and service. If you're looking for delicious, authentic Filipino catering that will impress a crowd, Pinay Kitchen is a fantastic choice. We will definitely be using them again. Highly recommend! read more

Decided to try this Filipino restaurant to compare to one down the street. It's more of a dine-in feel except I was able takeout. I ordered the chicken adobo for my dad so I will find out what he thinks. Also ordered lumpia shanghai and was a bit disappointed. There was really no filling and all wrapper. Plus they were tiny. I have made this myself. I will say the taste was good. I did see a post for this lumpia and it definitely appeared more filled. I will give it another try. Thanks. read more

Pinay Kitchen - Halo Halo - Filipino Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

My dad and I visited my grandma and Pinay Kitchen was where she wanted to go for lunch. Let me tell you, this place has some of the best Filipino food we have ever had. This is coming from my dad who makes the most delicious food and my grandma who are both from the Philippines. We went on a Saturday lunch and it was steady. If you're dining in, don't expect very fast service. From what my grandma was saying the owner and her mom cook the food. The small wait didn't bother me because the food was delicious! We ordered palabok (rice noodle with shrimp sauce). As a kid, I have never been a fan of palabok, but this palabok made me change my mind about it! It wasn't too shrimpy and I really enjoyed the taste! Pork sisig was very good. I loved how it sizzles when it gets brought to you and make sure to stir the egg in. Lumpia. Filipino staple right here! This was a hit with my daughter. It's a bit thinner than what I'm used to but everyone makes it different and it was still good. Fresh lumpia is like a thin crepe wrapped in vegetables. Sauce was great. Chicken mami. I loved this soup!! It's like a Filipino style chicken noodle/ramen soup. It was so homey and the broth was excellent. Dinuguan. This one is for the brave who are unfamiliar with Filipino food. It's pork stew with pig's blood. I really have to be in the mood for this one and I usually just eat a few bites. Let me tell you, this was extra delicious! You probably wouldn't have known it was blood. This is my grandma's favorite! Can't forget to get sago which is like a sugary tea drink with boba and jelly. I didn't get to try the halo halo because I was too full. This place was hit the spot and left my belly so happy! Also... there's a stage for karaoke if you're into that, but we're Filipino... of course we are! read more

I was hanging out with my mother and I decided to take her to eat first before we go grocery shopping. This place is located off Minnieville Rd, across from Lowe's. Plenty of parking and as you walk in, it's very clean, spacious, a small stage on your right for karaoke and buffet display on your left. Alice the owner, will greet every customer with a smile. There's an all you can eat buffet every day except for Mondays between the hours of 10a-2p. There's a total of 9 variety dishes and what makes it unique is each day the menu changes. When we arrive, in the buffet line they were serving: white rice, garlic rice, pickled vegetable salad, pancit, chopsuey, sweet and sour fish fillet; pork menudo, Filipino chicken soup and dessert. Everything we try was very delicious especially the sweet and sour fish, chicken soup, garlic rice, dessert. The restaurant can catered and hold the capacity of 110. I will definitely make a return visit to try more dishes on that buffet line. read more

Was in the area for a church service and stopped by as I was craving a Filipino breakfast. Quite the entrance with a gallery of signed pictures from Filipino celebrity artists that have graced the place with their presence. Seems like they hold a lot of banquets and receptions as the place is pretty big. Was not very busy when I came (2pm ish) so I may have missed the rush, but ordered the breakfast longanisa with a side of the milk fish (Daing na Bangus) to-go. Shoutout to the waitress for putting some extra rice to accommodate the fish! Food was spectacular, came out fast, and service was excellent. I always feel welcomed when I'm there, great staff! read more

We needed quick lumpia and pancit for a party and they prepared it as ordered. It was done quickly and delicious. Packed with care. You will be hit with amazing aromas the moment you walk in the door. We will surely return for a special trip to try the sisig and adobo... a table was being served those dishes, and our mouths were watering. The sisig looked so good sizzling in the plate! The decor is awesome and it is spotless clean. Awesomeness. read more

My boyfriend found this place on a TikTok and wanted to bring me (a very picky Filipino) who only loves her mother's cooking I've been spoiled by a mother who was given great talents don't be jealous Anywho about this place, As soon as you walk in Tita would greet you with a smile and give you menu's if you choose to dine and if not you can always order takeout. We wanted to stay so grabbed a table and I ordered the breakfast because they had all day Pinoy breakfast so I ordered the Daing na Bangus (Milkfish) it came with garlic rice, 2 eggs and cucumbers n tomatoes. I truly enjoyed my meal like being in my moms kitchen My son who loves all kinds of foods ordered the pork sisig (a traditional dish made out of pork goodness usually served as pulutan a bar snack) My son said it tasted good to him My boyfriend ordered the chicken bbq on a sizzling plate with white rice and he enjoyed it too We definitely recommend others to come try this place out for a homecooked authentic Filipino meal!!! They also have a grocery store right next door that I didn't get a chance to go into next trip to Woodbridge I definitely will On the weekends they even have fun activities like bingo, line dancing, and of course it's not a true Pinoy place if it didn't have karaoke Thank you to Pinay Kitchen for our hospitality and the delicious true Filipino meals read more

So we actually came here during their grand opening. Was very excited to have yet another Filipino restaurant in our 'hood. Unfortunately our first experience was very disheartening. They were clearly unprepared for the volume of customers they encountered. Service was extremely slow - orders took 45 minutes on average on the Sunday afternoon we were there. Then the food was lackluster and they ran out of items on the menu. The best item they had was the halo-halo. All that being said, I thought it would be unfair to review them during their first week. Wanted to give them a chance...come back when they are not going through a crush of so many customers and have some time to work out the kinks. So...we came back tonight and sad to say they haven't improved much. All the food seems just off. Look...my wife is Filipino and we are very accustomed to Filipino food both in and outside of the Philippines. Our view is that their food lacks taste and prepared in a way that seems very bland. For the price they charge (which is very high by standard) and the fact that they are not "turo-turo" (food on warmers)...this food should be much better. It appears the owner(s) placed most of their focus on the karaoke stage...not the food. My hunch is they thought: "build the karaoke stage and they will come...". I might be completely wrong, but I think they will need to try harder or this place will not survive long. read more

Pinay Kitchen [PK]. (3 stars). From the owners of Pinay Sweet Creations & Pinay Grocery (in Dumfries/Woodbridge border) comes Pinay Kitchen. Disclaimer: This review is for their LUMPIA ONLY. I'm not of Filipino descent & my only exposure to Filipino food has been at family gatherings in Hawaii. However, the friends who made lumpia were from the Philippines & perhaps their method of making lumpia differs from the region PK emulates?? I decided to try PK since I heard they just opened but since there were NO photos or reviews, I went in with only the expectation that I'd get to have some lechon & lumpia. Spoiler Alert: PK does NOT currently serve lechon & the young gentleman at the counter said he highly doubts they ever will. :( PK is a nice & homey restaurant located in Woodbridge that does cook your meal when you order it. I prefer this method to the "cafeteria style" that Kababayan & Pinoy Express uses. Originally, I ordered the FRESH LUMPIA. When it arrived, the "lumpia" was wrapped in a wax paper which steamed the tortilla even further. As I removed the paper, the entire "lumpia" fell apart. The kitchen staff saw this & rushed over to apologize. I was definitely NOT expecting a flour tortilla. My assumption was wrong when I thought FRESH lumpia meant they made it in house. After a dismal first order, I decided to order the LUMPIA SHANGHAI (with pork & shrimp) which is deep fried & more like what I'm used to. My order came out with a gigantic bowl of sauce which was slightly sweet & tangy. While the fry on these lumpia were good, the filling wasn't what I personally care for. The lumpia Shanghai filling tastes like & looks like a pork & shrimp breakfast sausage that was wrapped in the lumpia wrapper & deep fried. Again, perhaps this is another way of making lumpia... I just didn't really care for the texture. Staff was very friendly & PK does have sweet treats such as Ube pandesal which are brought in from their Pinay Sweet Creations Store. I wanted to try their Pork Kare Kare but I had an appointment to get to so I'll come back to try some of their other dishes & update my thoughts... Parking is available in a shared lot. I do wish PK well. read more

Love Filipino food and have plenty for Filipino friends to know what good Filipino food should taste like....sadly this is not it. I called for carry out and they required my credit card info to place the order. I hope my cc info was disregarded afterwards since it sounded like he was writing it down versus running it through immediately. I ordered sisig and lumpia shanghai. My husband picked it up for me. As soon as I opened the container with the sisig, I knew it wasn't gonna be great. It didn't look fresh and was mushy....maybe reheated and I saw like a piece of egg in it. My Filipino friends would laugh. And didn't even come with rice. The lumpia Shanghai was good but not enough to go back. read more

Came here during a week day during dinner hours and the service was fast (I'd say less than 15-20 minutes wait from order to packaging of my food)! Unlike Kababayan, this is a "sit down" style type of restaurant. Entertainment is your local karaoke favorites. Clean and spacious with lots of available seating and tables throughout the restaurant. Around 5-6PM on a week day there was only 2-3 couples eating and 1 other walk-in to go order (other than myself). I ordered my food to go...I feed a family of 5 (3 boys and 2 adults). Pancit, Kare Kare, 2 orders of beef steak, sinigang and a halo halo. We had a container of beef steak untouched at the end. Overall the quantity to price ratio is good. Food was delicious. Recommendation: Would like to see the menu expand to accommodate more Filipino favorites. And, showcase some of your Pinay Sweet Creation desserts and pastries Loving forward to my next visit! read more

Great family restaurant, very friendly and great service and food . Also they have a buffet from 10am to 2pm

Pinak bet very nice just way to salty. Taste like bagoong isda which is not my cup of tea. But would have loved it without all the salt. One great thing was using Japanese kabocha fricking Money$$$$&Also their Palabok same issue tasty but salty as the Pacific Ocean. Definitely go back read more

It was my first time there and we ordered the palabok (noodles), lechon kawali (deep fried pork), and halo halo (dessert). The halo halo was the best thing there...I didn't really like the other two dishes, the flavor of the palabok was not good and the lechon kawali was okay. There's another Filipino restaurant in the area that is much, much better--we normally always go to that one but it was closed that day and why we decided to try out this place. read more

Filipino cuisine was one of my favorites years ago when I lived on the west coast and had several options. That being said, when I noticed this "hot and new" place on Yelp, I decided to give it a try. Here we go: We walked in and there was active karaoke going on which was a total surprise, especially for 2pm on a Sunday afternoon but okay. Food was just okay. We ordered the classic dishes chicken adobo (strong vinegar flavor), lumpiang shanghai (cold, sweet and soggy), and pancit bichon (soggy and wet, no flavor). They were out of lumpia but by the taste of everything else we may not have really missed anything. The service was slow, disorganized, and inattentive. We got to the counter to order and we're given menus for the dine in option, told to sit wherever we wanted but no one ever came to our table to take the order so we back to the counter (long line at this time) and ordered our food. Mid way through our order being input someone from the back walks up and takes over the computer to double check where an order was suppose to go.... What? Really? The prices are ridiculous, without knowing the portion ahead of time. I almost got knocked over three times by employees walking in circles with food trying to figure out which table it goes to. The ambiance is regular, family owned vibes where you can gather and have a shareable meal (portions are huge) if you choose to do so. Appetizer came out after the food and there is no fountain drink options although there is a machine behind the counter. It appears that they have advertisements plastered on the door for hosted events. There was a larger party in a separate section of the restaurant. There is also a Filipino grocery store next door (same name). I understand this place is new and may be still trying to figure it out but the food and service was not great enough to overlook the mediocre experience so I will not be returning. This dining experience and food was so unremarkable, I forgot to take pics and we left most of the food on the table as nothing was leftover worthy. Too bad my friend's first time trying Filipino food was blah, bland, and borderline amateur chef. read more

The interior of the restaurant is very nice and the staff is professional and friendly. Ordered Pancit Palabok & Bihon as well as Lumpiang Shanghai. The food was okay, but not exceptional. It was better than the food at Kababayan, which is often not fresh and tastes off. The Lumpiang was the best of the three items ordered. read more

Came here today and the service was ok. Order halo halo which was good. Pinakbet was salty and I don't think they used shrimp bagoong. Chicken and beef mami was good and lumpiang Shanghai was ok. The portion of the food is definitely overpriced even with the prices going up everywhere. I personally would not come back here. I've definitely tasted better for a more affordable price. Oh and the karaoke? It's a NO for me. There was a man singing and said a bad word which thank goodness my kids didn't understand. There was also other people singing(more like shouting) and it got really loud. read more

Recently wanted a tasty Philippine snack so I dropped into Pinay Kitchen in Woodbridge, VA. The interior is stylish and has a comfy-cozy ambience that goes perfectly with the aromas emanating from the kitchen. I ultimately decided on the Shrimp Rolls and I'm glad I did. They were crispy on the outside with the shrimp still remaining perfectly tender. The dipping sauce really brought it all together. The service was great, everyone was friendly and courteous. I'll be visiting again. I hear the Adobo is outstanding. read more
