We love this place!! We used to come here when it was a food truck off of 301 HWY! So glad to see…read morethey have grown to a restaurant with an amazing owner, friendly staff, amazing food, great environment- nothing has changed just location!!! My favorites are the adobo either chicken or pork and of course the fried pork belly (lenchon). Beautiful sitting area, feels like you are eating at home with an amazing cook at hand. Thank you!!!

WOW! What a true gem. We recently moved to Tampa, and after seeing the wonderful reviews for Manila…read moreEats, we had to give it a try. Our first visit was a few weeks ago, right before closing, and they were so gracious -- they let us finish our meal while they were cleaning the restaurant, and never made us feel rushed. We ordered the pork adobo, lechon, and pinakbet, and damn, that food was GOOD! The only other places where I've had Filipino food this delicious were in LA or Jersey/NYC. My fiancé is Filipino and he gave it his full stamp of approval, which says a lot! Please support this business -- the owner is as sweet as can be. She was so gracious to us, and we ended up chatting with her for about 30 minutes. We genuinely enjoyed her company. My in-laws are visiting next month and we cannot wait to bring them to Manila Eats. They also do DoorDash, so spread the word!

It has been at least 3+ years since I last ate at Kabayan Grill in Kissimmee, FL. However, nothing…read morehas changed. The abundance and flavors of the food is tremendous and delicious. My wife and I got together with her cousins and aunt for a nice meal and Kabayan proved to be worthy. Service was friendly and attentive. The food was plentiful and tasted great. The new environment was modern and clean. Yes, the place can be small and, for some dishes, you may have to wait at least 30 minutes because everything is cooked fresh. I became so full because I ate too fast and I tried everything from the BBQ Pork skewers to the Crispy Pata. The Bicol Express was tangy and tender. Yes, this is Filipino food at its' best and it is right here in Kissimmee near Orlando, FL. You have to try it out for authentic Filipino cuisine!

It has great potential, but it's definitely not a 4+ star experience yet. The gulaman was bland,…read moreand we had to ask for extra syrup just to make it taste like gulaman. The food did come out quickly after ordering, which was nice. The sinigang seemed to be the only dish made fresh to order, the vegetables still had texture, and the soup was perfectly sour, just the way we like it. The palabok was just okay; the sauce needed more flavor, and the noodles could have been cooked a little longer. The garlic rice would have been much better if it had been freshly made, especially since it's quick to prepare and we were the only ones dining in. Overall, the execution and flavor felt like a missed opportunity. Still, I think this place has great potential if they refine their dishes a bit more.

Lechon Kawali was so good! Though we came when they were about to close, they still took our order.read more

Does not beat out Manila Eats for best Filipino but they do have a lot of great dishes…read more Pancit Bihon Lechon Kawali Daing Pinakbet All great. Feel confident in ordering any time. Chicken Adobo Sinigang Both could use a little more sour to really drive it home. Both still good but not better than Manila Eats. However, they do cook to order so that's a great perk. Only 2 tables, it's a small space with the rest of the square footage dedicated to retail. It was worth the drive from Brandon...

This review is for delivery. I ordered using Door Dash. The food was picked up at the expected time…read morebut there were delays on the delivery that were not the fault of Maganda Cuisine. The packaging was adequate. I ordered the BBQ pork, the lumpia, pancit bahon, and the fried fish. The pork and the fish came with rice. The portion size was good. Because the food delivery was delayed, the food was cold, but I won't count that against the food truck. Flavors were good. Textures seemed proper. I don't know that the pancit or the lumpia were the best I've ever had, but for the price, they were pretty good! All in all, I think I like Manila Eats better, but Maganda Cuisine has more operating days, so there you go.

Best taste of Filipino foods in Tampa! My wife and i stop by a lot just to go here, the service is…read morealways top quality, even more so than you would get from most resturants.

I love Filipino food and have been searching for the tastes I love. Pinay hit the spot. I have…read moreordered from them three times so far. First just a plate of pancit and lumpia, to make sure it tasted like I remembered. I ate the lumpia before I even got home. Then I ordered a lumpia tray for a dinner party with a Filipino family friend (she said lumpia was too much work) and everyone enjoyed it. Today my staff at USF celebrated APIDA/MENA month by introducing them to pancit and lumpia. It was awesome! They couldn't get enough. I will continue ordering from Pinay!

I had a large group of people coming into town and have wanted to try Pinay Appétit for some time…read more I ordered a large tray of chicken Pancit, lumpia and flan for dessert. WOW is all I can say! This was the real deal! Absolutely delicious Filipino food that was bursting with flavor! The pancit was perfectly cooked and so flavorful with just the right bite in the noodles. The lumpia was one of the best I've ever had! Delicious filling and super crispy on the outside (zero grease!). The flan is to die for! I didn't but I could have eaten the entire thing myself! Give this small business a chance you will not be sorry!!

Service with a smile indeed. She was friendly indeed. Orders came quick. Sinigang was tasty and…read morefilled with tons of veggies, just how I like it. Pampano fish was cut to three pieces, she even provided me with hot chili pepper (siling labuyo) to add to my fish sauce (patis). BBQ was half cooked so we had to give it back to cook it some more, no issues, things happen, it was solved. Lumpia was just okay, sauce was good. Rice portioned heartily, enough for two people. It's a friendly place, bathroom needs monitoring and repair. Overall vibe is good and a good choice for some home cooked (lutong bahay) meals.

Owner is really nice, food is also good. I think most of the negative complains are not because of…read morethe food but because of the mandatory 20% service fee. If you don't mind paying that then do give this place a chance. They started having live music and karaoke night too. The platter (Bilao) is nice for large group, you get to have variety of grilled and fried food.

I got the Halo Halo but without the evaporated milk. It was still delicious and still very sweet so…read moreI definitely recommend it without the evaporated milk if you're unable to consume any milk products. I can still eat ice cream though LOL. The dessert drink was absolutely delicious. I waited for the shaved ice to melt a little bit so I can drink some of it and all the little fruits in there and the beans were absolutely so fresh and I really love the Ube in there. I'm one of those type of people that like to custom my drinks and food so next time I would probably omit some of the fruits in there and either add extra Ube or extra ice cream or something like that if they allow it. The service was exceptional. The folks behind the counter were absolutely super sweet. I know they're Filipino, but I literally felt like I was in Hawaii. The service was so incredible. I felt like I was in paradise.

The Filipiniana is a small, humble eatery that sits in a rather hidden plaza (it's hardly…read morenoticeable from the main road) along and at the crossroads of eastbound Waters Avenue and Dale Mabry. Like most other Filipino restaurants/cafe, there is a behind-the-counter, glass protected buffet at the forefront of the restaurant. From here, you can make your selections as you build your combination platter. The Filipiniana also offers a small section of baked goods and desert, while specializing in drinks such as Halo Halo and other Asian-curated beverages. Interesting to note that the Filipiniana offers catering in the kamayan style (simply put, a spread of various dishes over banana leaves to be shared by multiple people amd eaten with hands). However, they don't serve this in house/at the location - you will have to give advance notice (like with other caterers) to have this prepared. The Filipiniana is definitely a good spot to satiate your curiousity, explore, and discover Filipino cuisine!
