    Tried this new family-owned Filipino spot with the fam this past weekend and we really enjoyed it. My Filipino mother-in-law was in town and it even got her stamp of approval. We tried the pork sisig, garlic shrimp, and the bistek tagalog. We also ordered the kids longanisa plate for my son (which he didn't eat so I ate it, haha). Everything was super flavorful and tasty. The longanisa sausages were amazing and I would definitely get those again. I also really enjoyed the garlic shrimp, though be prepared that they are served whole with the shells and heads on, so you will get messy. My husband did say that the pork sisig contained a bit too much cartilage and hard pieces for his liking and he found it difficult to eat. We, of course, had to get the halo halo for dessert and it was definitely one of the better ones I have had. We crushed it! The space itself is quaint and there's a small stage where they host karaoke. You can tell that this is a popular restaurant for families with children. I saw that they have a dedicated area at the front with games, books, and coloring activities for kids which is nice to see. Since they are a more family-oriented restaurant, I do suggest that they invest in a few more high chairs because they only had one and it was already in use when we got there. Two more families walked in needing one, and it's not ideal to have a toddler in your lap while trying to eat.

    I ordered takeout here and I am so happy they have a restaurant now. I have been following Maya's Merienda at farmers markets, Asian festivals and other local Filipino events and they have always served my favorite Filipino street snacks like pork and beef bbq skewers, Flipino jumbo hotdog, isaw, pig ears, pork belly, as well as pancit and lumpia. I couldn't wait to support this restaurant and hope to see it thrive. I ordered the lechon kawali, pork sisig, and the crispy pork belly kare kare. The dishes come with your choice of white rice or garlic rice. The pork sisig was good but I preferred it to have a little bit of spice. The lechon was perfectly crispy. The crispy kare-kare was my favorite! It wasn't soggy and the sauce was so flavorful. It came with the best accompaniment "bagoong"(shrimp paste) on the side too. I also ordered sago't gulaman to drink (tapioca and jelly) - good size and very refreshing. For dessert I ordered leche flan; it was a bit sweet for me and the custard was a little soft but still good. I can't wait to try their halo-halo next time. Maya was super sweet and took care of my order promptly. The inside of the restaurant felt very homey - made me feel like I was eating at a relative's or friend's house just hanging out and eating some Filipino food. They have a small stage for karaoke and events too. Keep an open mind when trying a new Filipino spot. They're not always going to taste like your grandma's cooking or what you're used to. Filipinos cook their dishes differently by spice and ingredients depending on what region they're from. I'm so excited this place opened up only 15 minutes from me. Make sure to also catch Maya's Merienda out and about selling their skewers and other Filipino dishes!

    In a word - Masarap! Delicious. I ordered from the lunch combo Rice dishes. That was very filling and generous serving. Also ordered lumpia shanghai freshly made and crispy with dipping sauce on the side. For dessert I ordered the halo halo which came in this humongous goblet topped a scoop of ice cream and a cube of flan. Pricing is fair, nothing excessive. Interior of the place is simply decorated- nothing pretentious. Homey atmosphere for sure. Highly recommend this place for diners wanting a taste of Filipino cuisine. I suggest the adobo - chicken or pork- which is always a safe bet plus any of the noodles. Don't live in Orlando but this place goes into my go to places whenever I'm in Orlando.

    The food was super tasty! The portion size was also great. The soup I got had a great ginger kick. The service was exceptional. The place was not too loud. If you are looking to try Filipino food, you must try! I will most definitely be back!

    Birthday Dinner for my son!

    A homey-cozy atmosphere, serving your home-cook Filipino dishes. Spend time with your friends and family and enjoy the hang out vibes we offer. Request for karaoke and you'll have it!

You can probably guarantee this place will always be busy (and for good reason). Even with a line to the door, the service was very quick. There is a lot of seating even towards the back of the shop and loved the ambiance. They're very on brand throughout the entire place. I ordered the birthday mamon in a cone and I loved it! They also had a ton of other unique flavors and sundae options. I definitely will be returning!

Despite there being a parking lot, we weren't able to find parking and we had to park on the street. For the middle of the week, I was surprised that there was a line out the door. It took about 15 minutes before we were serviced, but the staff behind the counter was working hard. Sampaguita has unique flavors, such as Ube. They were very accommodating and they let us try a bunch of different flavors. I was surprised because every flavor that I tried wasn't too sweet like ice cream typically is. My friend and I ordered the Ube brownie with Ube whipped cream and vanilla ice cream. It was good but also not too sweet. Personally I think the ice cream actually wasn't sweet enough. With the hype that Sampaguita gets, I was expecting to be blown out of the water, but it was a little underwhelming. I think there's better ice cream in Orlando. The dining room is really cute and there's actually a lot of tables. It's very comfortable to sit there and hang out with friends.

The…read morerestaurant is already very cozy, but being seated at the bar gave me a much more intimate experience. My server welcomed me and was great in helping me feel welcome as a solo diner. It was also very entertaining watching her and the other bartender whip up drinks in front of me. I ordered: Kinilaw - This is an elevated and more upscale take on the traditional dish. The hamachi was very fresh and the inclusion of the radish helped provide a change in texture. Despite all the fruit, it wasn't very sweet and the flavors of those and the coconut milk worked very well together. It tastes like kinilaw but it doesn't have the same "punch" or "impact" as the traditional one. But again, this is an upscale version and still tasted great otherwise. Crab Fat Shrimp - Shrimp cooked with a very creamy coconut milk sauce. I ordered this dish with the Sinangag garlic rice instead of having it with collard greens. Eating the shrimp with the rice is a great choice since the rice soaks up so much of the flavor from the sauce and the shrimp. Portion was surprisingly filling. Strawberry Basque Cheesecake - This was the best part of the menu! This portion was so generous and the dessert itself was sweet, but not sugary. The cheesecake was creamy and the roasted strawberries provided some acidity to cut through the richness. I had this with a salabat tea. Hot Salabat Tea - Ginger tea with lemon slices and a honey syrup. I loved how fresh the ginger was and it was a great way to end off the night. It felt very good for digestion. This is an upscale restaurant and therefore prices aren't very cheap. However, this is a restaurant to try at least once, especially for a special occasion.

    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.

Went to Inay's Kitchen last night (2/6/26) after our daughter's afterschool event. We were hungry and excited to have sisig, crispy pata and pansit. Pansit was salty and seems like scrap as the noodles were just about an inch long, not your normal pansit noodles. We waited and asked for a set of plates so we can eat it while waiting for the rest of our order. Took time for them to give us plates while the pansit was getting cold. We ate it nevertheless as we were hungry and no other choice but to finish it. Crispy pata, we were looking forward to dive in and munch it... it was priced at $24.99, we were expecting a big serving as with Max's pata is around $26 per order. Yes we were surprised when they served a 4 inches by 3 inches by 3 inches with the bone of course, and that was it. We asked if the price is still the same and we were told that it was small so they will give us discount for it. Come bill payment time, we were charged $21.99 for it and was told that they were giving us the $3 discount from the original price. IMO, the food is overpriced thus the reason why there were no customers on a Friday evening (7pm). Don't get me wrong, we love supporting Filipino restaurants but this one is really not worth it. Find a restaurant that is worth paying for the quality food that you will be eating, this restaurant is not that.

They also sell Uber ice cream by the quart. See you guys again.

    Phil-Asian Foodmart: A Taste of Authentic Filipino Cuisine…read more Location: Kissimmee, Florida Nestled in the heart of Kissimmee, Florida, Phil-Asian Foodmart offers a delightful culinary journey through the vibrant flavors of Filipino cuisine. What sets this eatery apart is its unique turo-turo style, reminiscent of the convenience of Panda Express but with a Filipino twist. Upon my recent visit, I indulged in the Filipino menudo and bistek combo, and I was not disappointed. The menudo boasted tender pieces of liver harmonizing with the savory sausage, all enveloped in a rich tomato sauce. The bistek, reminiscent of lomo saltado, was a symphony of flavors, with the tangy calamansi cutting through the richness of the soy sauce base. Surprisingly, Phil-Asian Foodmart is not merely a market but also features a cozy dining area where patrons can savor their meals on-site. It's more akin to a restaurant with a small market attached, offering the best of both worlds. However, given the changing daily selections, it's advisable to call ahead or arrive around noon to experience the full array of dishes. The culinary adventure doesn't end with lunch; Phil-Asian Foodmart also caters to early risers with traditional Filipino breakfast options from 7 am to 10 am. Longanisa with egg and garlic rice promises to be a delightful treat worth waking up for. Moreover, the market section of Phil-Asian Foodmart is a treasure trove for Filipino food enthusiasts. You can find sauces, snacks, frozen meats, bakery items, and even Filipino cosmetics. I rode my bike here today since I found out it was only 3 miles from my house. I can't wait for my next visit to Phil-Asian Foodmart. I'll bring a car next time so I can take more food home. Whether you're a seasoned aficionado of Filipino cuisine or a curious foodie looking to expand your palate, Phil-Asian Foodmart promises an authentic and satisfying dining experience.
