This venue does not seem to be a very big. A portion of the restaurant appeared to be closed off so I could be mistaken. They do offer indoor and patio seating. We came on a warm evening hoping to get some relief with AC but, that wasn't the case and it felt warm in the restaurant even with ceiling fans going. Customer service was amazing! Every food item we ordered was delicious although I did not care too much for their peanut sauce that came with their Fresh Shrimp Rolls. Nor did I care for the sauce that came with the Crying Tiger dish. Their sweet n sour sauce seemed to be your average sauce you can purchase at any Asian market, nothing special at all in my opinion. We ordered: Pad Thai with shrimp - Good flavor and texture of noodles Calamari tempura - loved the fact tentacles were present but, it was a bit over fried. Chicken wings - crispy outside yet juicy inside...perfectly cooked and flavor was good Fresh shrimp rolls - refreshing and good, I just didn't care for the peanut sauce it came with Yellow curry - great flavor, potatoes and carrots were a bit too large for my liking. Their heat level ranges from 1-10. We ordered a heat level of 8 and even at 8, it wasn't that spicy. Classic Thai Fried rice - perfectly textured rice! Good flavor and comes with a lot of veggies Crying Tiger - Steak cooked to perfection, presentation was lovely! Loved all the veggies and the sauce that came on the plate with the entree. I did not care for the dipping sauce unfortunately. If in the area again, I would definitely return to try more of their dishes!

***TO-GO ORDER***…read more Parking 5/5 -Plenty of free parking spots available in the lot Service 5/5 -I called my order in and picked up in about 15 minutes, they were busy but it didn't take too long to get my order, staff was very friendly. Food 5/5 -Crunchy Jalapeno Hamachi Bites $26, I was craving spicy tuna crispy rice and this was the option closest to me. Compared to most STCR appetizers, this is more like a whole pressed sushi roll. Rice base was crispy and had enough volume to carry the hamachi mixture, fish topping was fresh, soft, saucy and overall just really good quality as seen in picture. I would definitely get this order again. Presentation 5/5 -This was the best presentation I have ever seen in a to-go order, it came in a nylon bag that can easily be reused as a grocery bag. Sushi was nicely intact in the box, it truly looked so pretty and appetizing; also came with really good quality utencils and sauces. Highly recommend!

Always good! Fresh sushi!!…read moreThe parking is pretty easy here since most of the businesses nearby are closed down. This has been our go to place for sushi for about 1 year.

Based on our recent visit, I'm struggling to understand how this establishment has an overall score…read moreof 4 stars. We were not greeted by an employee at the hostess stand and finally sat ourselves. It took 15 minutes for a server to greet us and ask for our drink order. Once he arrived for our drink order we put in a small food order to test out the quality of proteins. It took 40 minutes to get two hand rolls and one albacore sashimi order. The order took so long to arrive that once it did, we quickly put in a specialty roll order before trying the hand rolls. The specialty roll came out in two minutes flat, I did see a roll sitting on the sushi bar before we ordered. I believe we got someone else's roll because I asked about the long wait times. After the roll was delivered a server came over to our booth specifically to make a snarky comment, he said "you're lucky this was fast, people wait 1 hour for this on Fridays." The restaurant was clean, had a neat wall painting and the parking was free, those are the only positive experiences from our visit. The sashimi was dry as if it had been sitting out not properly stored. Hand rolls were mostly rice, the only protein is what you can see in the pic - gone in one bite of a 4 bite roll. The specialty roll was average. This was a very unpleasant experience, we will not go back and will not recommend to friends/family/yelpers. It should also be noted that we went on a Sunday afternoon and there were 3 sushi chefs behind the counter, 3 servers on the floor and 1 host. Hard to understand why the wait times were excessive and service was poor. Our server did acknowledge that the service was slow, however, he did not offer any apology, he just shrugged it off.

My first experience at Tambayan, was in March 2026. The word had spread across social media, saved…read moreto bookmarks for, "places to get High n' try." Plenty of parking in the free parking lot off Paradise Valley Road. March 22nd was the day four friends found out the hype - is real. Tambayan makes you wanna slap yo lolo. Masarap! From the Güd Burger and that ube milk bun, to my personal favorite, sisig fries with calamansi aioli. Friends didn't complain about the pork belly in their sisig bowls either. When it came time for dessert, we met my second favorite mahal, ube churros with dulce de leche ube sauce. Jammed with hot halaya. So, of course we came back itching for more. Let the photographic evidence before you be proof of this customer's satisfaction. Special Kuya Dan shoutout to bro who hooked us up with the complimentary lumpia! GALING. Sisig fries remain the main character in this NPC's game. Pairs perfectly with a taste of Hawaiian Sun, Luau Punch. The fries stayed crispy until the last bite - and I nearly ate clear through to the table. The restaurant serves a handful of open tables. Dine in, or carry out. The plate is the same. Everyone's doing it. Service is simple. Order, snag a seat, and standby for sisig. If your kind of dining requires Instagram worthy ambiance, or you're worried about calories - Tambayan maybe too much for you. I dare you. Kain na! Until your pork belly meets mine once again. Thank you, Tambayan! P.S. This review was written by my hands - not Chat or AI, nor the influence of social media stardom. And I, thank you. Edit: I came back for the 5th star that kitchen is good for.

They definitely not back there counting pieces of meat like it's coming out of their paycheck. You get a good amount of food for sure. I got the sisig rice bowl. Flavor was good, portion was solid, and I definitely ate it...but was I sitting there having a spiritual experience over the sisig? Nah. It was good, just nothing that had me texting the group chat like, BOYS. GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW. THEN MY HOMIE GOT THE SHORT RIB BOWL. Bruhhhh. He let me get a bite and immediately I was mad at myself. I'm chewing his short rib while looking down at my sisig like, I chose you over THAT?? That short rib was GOOD good. Next time I already know what I'm ordering. We tried the mac too. Mac was cool. It showed up. Did its job. Clocked in, clocked out. Nothing bad, nothing life-changing. NOWWWW...we gotta talk about the environment. I went to use the bathroom and suddenly felt like I had accidentally entered the employee storage room side quest. Stuff seemed like it was everywhere, and the whole place just felt like it needed a good cleanup and organization day. AND THEM FLOORS?!?! Slippery AF. I was walking back from the bathroom like a Filipino uncle leaving the dance floor after three Red Horses little steps, arms out, praying I don't end up on Yelp as part of somebody else's review. That was probably my biggest issue. When I'm eating somewhere, the environment matters. If the back/bathroom area feels cluttered and the floors got me ice skating back to my table, it starts making me question things I don't even WANT to question while I'm eating. BUT I gotta give credit where it's due....the service was GREAT. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and nice to us. And honestly, that's why I'm rooting for this place. The food has potential, portions are generous, service is friendly, and that short rib is . If they cleaned everything up, organized the place, fixed the slippery floors, and made the atmosphere feel more inviting??? BRO. This place could be PACKED. I'd definitely give them another shot. But next time....SHORT RIB BOWL. I learned my lesson.

But if you gamble a lot and have comp points to use on food, I definitely wouldn't mind spending them here. My usual order is the bento box with the salt & pepper wings. The wings are actually pretty good--crispy and flavorful. The other items are more hit or miss. The California roll is basically something you could pick up at Ralphs, and the miso soup tastes (and looks) like it's been brewing a little too long. Overall, it's decent casino food, especially if you're using comps. I just wouldn't go out of my way to pay full price for it.
