Another first for me. I really love trying new places. And I will always try them ones and more if I really liked the food. This spot is like a one stop shop. What I mean is: this place is a restaurant, has a bar, karaoke, and pool tables. It looked very festive inside. The food was great! We ordered a few things in the menu: Fried fish, lumpia, Kare-Kare, palabok, chicken wings, fish Sisig and Halo-Halo. I loved everything. Except I think they fell short on the lumpia. I think they gave like 3 or 5. It's not enough for the price we paid. But it was good. Now the Halo-Halo it wasn't as pretty as I thought it going to look and it tasted ok. But that thing was huge! Big enough for 5 people! I think the restaurant is fairly new is what I was told. So the service was ok. They need improvement. The food came one by one. Like they didn't bring them all at once. It was weird and we had a big group so when one thing came we ate it and then we were on idle. And they messed up on our order. I give them 4 stars though on the entertainment. We had a blast with the karaoke and the pool tables. I hope we have an even better time next time we come. read more

It was my first to mine here and I did enjoy the food. Very good selection. I liked the service. Very friendly. The vibe was not bad. They do have pool tables and you can hear people shooting pool while you are eating. But all in all, I'll be back for more when I'm in Reno. read more

11 7 Tambayan - First time here - Pop-Up Restaurants Near Me - Reno, Nevada

11 7 Tambayan is a combo night club, grocery store and Filipino restaurant. I came to try the Fri - Sun Buffet offered for $25 per person. Drinks nor desserts are included. It's a super small buffet with super authentic foods. So authentic that I really had no idea what any of the things were. Service was not really too helpful as she wasn't around a lot. Everybody else there was Filipino and speaking their native language. They all seemed to know what all the foods were. I think you need to be Filipino to know these foods. I could recognize if it was fish or beef at least. I tried some fried fish and what looked like thin salty fried fish skin. I ate as much as I could, but none of the foods really got me too excited. As noted by others, some of the hot dishes were cold and I even got there right before 11am! There was sausage that tasted like Kielbasa ... sort of. For $25 a person buffet, it wasn't worth it to me, but to those that enjoy this kind of food that you can't get anywhere else in Reno, I suppose it's worth it, to get food of your homeland. I can see why they need to charge so much, cause the actual volume of customers is so small, they can't make up the costs with massive customers numbers like the big Chinese buffets do. This is a very small specialized food operation, pretty much for those wanting super authentic and I mean real authentic (no, there was no Lumpia), foods. As far as ambiance, there really is none, just bright florescent lights. read more

Wanted to try authentic filipino food while visiting Reno. Found this place on doordash and gave it a go. Loved the filipino street food variety, ordered quite a bit of it. Food arrived and everything was delicious! Coming from California I was surprised at how good and authentic the food was. The next night we decided to try it again and also try different items on the menu. We ordered a lot hoping to bring some back home. Not sure if its because we ordered soo much or if its like other reviews had mentioned its hit and miss. Most of it was good but this time some of the bbq and items were hard and chewy like it had been made either a long time ago or premade and re heated, we also did not get the sauces that came with the order that we had received the night before. Overall good food will have to try it again on our next visit and hope its as good as the first impression. read more

Food is good, but the buffet refills are slow. Like the chill vibes and the billiards.. Staff and owners are nice. The bathroom needs serious attention though and that makes me worry about the kitchen... You know what they say, a restaurant's bathroom says a lot about their kitchen. read more

Sisig is pretty good. It's just how I remember from many years ago in the Philippines. The only thing missing is the tabasco for the extra zing and spice. We tried a couple of isaw, too, and yes those are quite good too. This will be a spot to go to everytime we're in Reno. read more

I didn't know about this place until today, I was amazingly surprised that they have the best "Pinoy Buffet". I loved all selections. Great cooking. Oh, and by they way, they have "Balut" read more

Their food for the buffet taste great! Their pricing for the Street Food is manageable. I would come back to this establishment. Likely recommend!! read more

OMG!! Heart warming place to dine. We were welcomed by Anthony with welcoming gestures The food is fresh and delicious the portion is huge! I thank them for serving such yummy nostalgic taste of our home town food. More power to the owner and another reason to go back here in Reno from Bay Area. read more

11 7 Tambayan makes me so happy because it reminds me so much of home. I grew up in a Philippino American family and enjoyed many of these same dishes. I'm someone who really loves garlic and the garlic rice couldn't have hit the spot for nostalgia more. It was my all time favorite way to enjoy rice when it had at least a cup of garlic in it lol! And of course the main favorites are Lumpia, Pork Adobo, Pancit, and Chicken Curry. My titas and titos always made the best food, including my favorite dessert which is Babinka. There is also a Philippino market inside where I found Ube ice cream and cookies and so many other treats that were constantly brought over to the house. Everything is so clean and organized and the service was excellent. I highly recommend a visit or two, or a hundred I know that I can't wait to go back! read more

Sushi at a Filipino place? Who woulda thunk it? I haven't been to Tambayan before now because I just haven't been drawn to Filipino food that much. But I am always up for a new sushi experience and I heard they had just started a "soft opening" for their sushi bar. We starved ourselves before coming in so we could get through as much of the menu as possible. They are still in super soft opening phase. Working out any kinks that they have is a priority and you could tell because the head sushi chef was very attentive, making sure everything was to our liking, even suggesting a few rolls for us to try. He let us know his history and what they are hoping to do in the future. Here is the list of different things we ordered... Cucumber Salad Mussels Pork Egg Rolls Yellow Tail Nigiri Tuna Nigiri Salmon Nigiri Lemon Valley Roll Godzilla Roll (minus cream cheese) Ceviche Roll Adobo Chicken Baked Roll (half size) Spicy Salmon Hand Roll Ikura Upside Down Shrimp (scallop) Peach Dream Dessert Turon w Langka Dessert Everything was fine. No real complaints on anything. My favorites were the Ceviche Roll and the Mussels. The flavor profile on both of those was more unique than what I had expected. There were also a handful of rolls that I would definitely want to come back and try in the future. The price point is a little higher than what we normally pay for our AYCE sushi, but I think the unique offerings on the menu like the egg rolls make it worth the small upcharge. The interior of the place is interesting. You can see how the building has progressed over the years from a Mexican joint to what it is now. A little less "themed" than a themed restaurant, but also not the boring formica and white walls so many businesses seem to settle for today. I feels real mom and pop in a good way. Our server/waitress was super friendly and always there to clean up the dishes at just the right time. I would definitely go back for the sushi...especially if they are going to be getting all of the kinks worked out. They also offer a "best of both worlds" where you can have the Buffet for $10 on top of the AYCE sushi price. The real question is....will this become a "go to" for my sushi needs like a few other places in Reno? read more

First off, I wanna say to the Owners of this establishment, I Guess, good job but try a bit with more quality of foods such as the lechon kawali, more skin please Naman, This place does has the ambience of the Philippines by hanging out with family and Barkadaz. But try to accommodate more authentication to the kababayan. Longsilog was Delicious but rushing here in the morning was kind of worth it. Can't wait to try to open a Seafood City here in Reno to give what the Filipinos want ...But only 3.dishes to me needs to be more on point. Lechon Kawali, Chicken wings and the Kare Kare... read more

We came here on a Thursday evening hoping to get some Filipino food and pastries. I checked Yelp beforehand to make sure they were open so we came across town to come eat some good food. We came here for a birthday party a year ago and I remember the food being delicious and the little store being stocked with fresh bakery items. When we walked in there was nobody. In the front there was a bar with the lights off and chairs stacked. On the right side there were pool tables with 4 guys playing. We walked through and found the little store in the back which was stocked with limited sauces and snacks. We were wondering around the buffet area looking at the menu and there was still no one there to help us. We stood around for 5 mins waiting to get someone's attention, I could see people in the back, but it didn't even look like the kitchen was open so we left. The whole vibe was weird. Probably won't return. read more

We were visiting Reno with our group of friends this weekend and the dealer in the casino told us about this Filipino place because we were looking dor Karaoke . We went late at night Saturday and the owner ( I think ) accomodated us and the service was really good . We had so much fun singing . Toby , was so good in helping us with our orders the fish sisig was also good and the shots of Tequila were big and worth the price lol! We will definitely come back again if we are ever in Reno . read more

I was about to order $100+ of food, but they offer no option to provide special instructions. I had a very small request regarding the fried chicken. Oh well.....moving on read more

I guess that the 2nd time's the charm...LOL! After trying the buffet the first time I dropped by and having no idea what I ate...but, liking everything...I posted my original review on some local "foodie" pages on social media. Lo and behold...one of the chefs that works there saw my review and responded. He told me that the next time I came in, to ask for him and that he'd "walk me through" all the ins and out of Filipino cuisine (including the sauces/condiments), as well as clueing me in as to what the dishes were that were offered on the buffet that day (it changes daily)! I made it a point to do just that...BUT, it turns out that the day I went in, he was off from work...LOL! Fortunately, after asking for him and explaining why I was asking for him to the gentleman that seated me, the host offered to clue me in...which he did...very thoroughly and in great detail, I might add. It was nice to know what I was eating and what sauces/condiments were traditionally used on each dish! Those sauces/condiments added another whole dimension of flavor to everything I used them on and made everything even better than the first time I went in. This time (as I said, the offerings change daily), they had some dishes that I was familiar with. Delicious, crispy, flavorful Lumpia...roasted and deep fried Pork Belly...also, one of my faves, Sisig! It was such a pleasure to experience these foods with the right sauce/condiment added to it! I plan to go back to experience the buffet again and also to drop in during the evening to try their a la carte menu. Give it a try and see what YOU think... read more

Food is okay. Price is affordable and right. Ambiance is a little bit chaotic and confusing. I do not have the restaurant vibe. Im not sure if its a billiard hall or karaoke bar or a grocery store, coz its all in there. Service was very attentive. However, our orders are not right. We didnt notice it coz it was all to-go and its missing counts of it. I also heard from the order before us the same thing too as she ordered 3 items and it was only 2 when it came out. I should've paid attention to it in ours. Other than that food is okay. read more

Hooray for quality Filipino food on a consistent basis in Reno Tahoe! This location has been SO MANY restaurants over the years, many of which have been Filipino. None have stuck around long and IDK exactly why, but it seems 11 7 is making a good run at it and from this first experience I like what I'm seeing. The building is deceivingly large and it seems for the time being, the restaurant is actually situated toward the back of it. The space is intimate with a few large booths and small tables to choose from. During lunch they offer a buffet with some of the greatest hits of Filipino food including pancit, lumpia, adobo, laing, sinigang and more. The buffet looked fresh and the variety was great, but knowing my friend was headed to Cebu, I had lechon on the brain! Luckily they also have a nice menu with many more offerings including their FIlipino BBQ street foods, lechon kawali, kare kare and yes, lechon! We ended up ordering the kare kare, lechon kawali, and the grilled pork belly, for which I cannot remember the Filipino name. The portions are HUGE so bring friends or come very hungry. The Kare Kare was made with oxtails, BONUS, and it also had tripe. The eggplant was a bit undercooked, so that was a bummer, and it could've used a bit more seasoning overall, but the bagooong made for the perfect addition to round it all out! All in all I'm ready to revisit this spot and can't wait! read more

This restaurant came HIGHLY recommended by co-workers which is the reason we came to try it. Karaoke while you wait for your food was the selling point for me. We ordered pancit, pork adobo, garlic rice, lumpia, lechon and can soda. The bill alone was almost $100. We sat at a table that was really sticky. The lady came to wipe it down after we let her know it's sticky. It took about 45 mins before our food came. It was terrible the food was terrible. The adobo seemed to be reheated (not made fresh) the lechon and lumpia was grease and soggy not crispy. Pancit and the garlic rice were the 2 dishes that tasted better than the rest of our order and still it was just mediocre. We didn't finish the food we put on our plate and took the rest to go. Needless to say it stayed in my fridge until I threw it out. It wasn't worth reheating. My friend ended up with an upset stomach. The waitress asked how was the food I said it's a no for me. She said excuse me? I said I didn't like it. She said I'm sorry. What was wrong? I let her know the greasy n soggy lumpia n lechon, the pork adobo tastes like it was reheated in the microwave. She apologized then said she'll let the manager know. Sorry didn't think about taking pictures was too busy singing. read more

We've gone there quite a few times and their buffet it's a hit or miss. There are days we went that the buffet style dishes were really great and there were days that they weren't up to par. It seems whenever the male chef is there the food at the buffet is really good. My daughter and I go there whenever we're in mood for Sinigang and Lechon Kawali. I would like to see more chicken in the menu, especially with the Sinigang. When you order a la carte though, everything is made fresh and tasty and you have more choices from the menu. On Saturdays the buffet dishes they have are seafood based and most of the dishes are made of fish, squid and shrimp. Their halo-halo is hugely portioned and really tasty. Even with 3 people sharing, we still couldn't finish it. Your best bet is to order the halo-halo to go as it is more individual sized and you'll be able to finish it. The staff are attentive and friendly. It seems the best time to go and eat at the buffet is early lunch or early dinner as the dishes are coming out fresh. As for the place itself, it could use some sprucing the up and add more lighting. When you walk in, it is obvious that the place is aged and on the dimly lit side. All in all, it's not a bad place to eat at, otherwise I wouldn't have been a repeat customer. read more

Friendly, welcoming and helpful staff. Good food selection and service was fast. I will definitely keep coming back.

What a hidden gem! I loved all the food here! The staff was incredibly kind and helped us quickly. I felt really at home with all the food and the way the inside was designed. It's more than meets the eye. I would definitely stop by again when in the area! read more

I haven' t tried their buffet, but their ala carte tastes authentic. I have tried a couple of Filipino restaurants in the U.S. and Canada, but so far 11 7 Tambayan's food is closer to home. The restaurant, though, was a little darker, maybe because they are going to install some slot machines. Aside from the food, it's nice that Filipinos and people with music at heart can do karaoke (Filipinos' favorite past time), and also listen to a band serenading the diners with Filipino music. I am really glad to find a Filipino restaurant that serves authentic Filipino dishes. I will definitely go back! Oh! The owners are very kind and accommodating! read more

Loved this place. Will make a return visit soon. I ordered pork adobo, garlic rice, and lumpia.

Great Place for Filipino Food. Came there 45 minutes before closing and they were able to prepare us hot food. Picture below was Halo Halo. Sorry I didn't get a picture before we started eating but it was yummy read more

11 7 Tambayan - Halo Halo after we attacked it. It was yummy. - Pop-Up Restaurants Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Pros: Food is delicious. Cons: Price for the quantity. The box I paid for (plus extra for longaniza) and alacate total was over $43. The rice was, apparently one scoop, and we all know rice is cheap so no idea what was the point in short changing the amount. And the side I picked was chicken and I got only 3 wings!! And the kare kare is beef, so even though it's on the buffet there is an up charge! This is ridiculous. New restaurant, want people to come back give them something worth coming back for!! I wont return. Instead I'll give my money to another Filipino establishment read more

I ordered take-out using grub hub via Yelp. It was quick and easy. The place was dark and empty when I came to pick up my order. It clean and orderly. The lady that helped me was nice. I ordered kare-kare, dinuguan, and pork liempo. Total bill was $67.09. The food was delicious. The packaging was not very good. The kare-kare sauce spilled all over the plastic wrap and the Styrofoam was not sturdy enough that it was squashed by the other container. read more

11/7 Tambayan is a cool little place to hangout, they serve all you can eat Filipino food & offer ala carte dishes as well. I didn't go for the all u can eat buffet, since it didn't look all that fresh, but we did go later in the day. In addition, they have a store inside where you can get Filipino snacks, sing karaoke and play pool. Food wise, we ordered their Sisig ($19), Chicharon Bulaklak ($16), Halo Halo ($12), which was pretty good, definitely on the pricey side. You also have to pay for rice separately which cost us $5 for 2 cups. Service was okay, all in all I give this place a solid 7/10 if you're ever craving Filipino food. A splurge forsure lol. read more

Certainly good food and helpful staff, it's Philippine hospitality, what do you expect? But the dine-in experience is NOT so good. To get to the dining area, one has to go past the bar with loud music and pool tables. I wish it's more family friendly, so I can give it more stars. read more

Same location. New name. So, of course I had to try it out. They have an all you can eat option and an a La cart menu. We arrived kind of late so they didn't have all you can eat. We ordered sisig and lechon kawali. Also, they have all the good Filipino alcohol! While we were waiting for our food, we decided to play a round of pool while we enjoyed some San Miguel beer. The owner was very welcoming and nice. We didn't have cash so, he gave us his quarters and just added it on our tab. The food was very good and it tasted fresh. We were so excited to eat that I completely forgot to take any pics!! Anyways, there were three of us and we ordered two entrees and it filled us up. I noticed that people complain about the price and I agree it's very pricey but, hellloooo everywhere you go nowadays are expensive. I would rather spend my money at a local restaurant than a chain. I've seen this place change time after time so, I'm really hoping this place makes it. By the way, they have a store inside the restaurant. read more

Me and my family came here to try it out.. and we were not impressed AT ALL.. We tried the Buffett?!?! And it looked like it was still the same serving from when they opened in the morning? The food was super dry!!! If the health department came in? This place would fail the inspection BIG TIME!!!. If we didn't come from Carson we would have left, so we ordered food from the menu and did not do the Buffett. Service: Even though the employees are friendly? They have absolutely NO customer service etiquette?!?! Example; Just because you see there's a little bit of food on the plate? Does not necessarily mean that the guest is done eating? You don't just take the plate away without asking first? And if you see that my glass is empty why not ask if I would like a refill? And if there's empty plates on the table why not ask if you can take care of those and get rid of them to have more room on the table. The people are nice and all! But the quality of their food at the Buffett was just unacceptable! They can definitely do better. Over All.. Unfortunately We won't be coming Back. But We do wish Them the best of luck in their business! read more

This place is great! Their unique feature is the street food. Finally! Someone can do chicken isaw and I was in love. In addition, we ordered halo halo and my friend had the buffet. Everything tasted authentic and prices were reasonable. My halo halo was wonderful and made to order (others already put ingredients together and only add ice upon someone ordering). The service was superb and we couldn't ask for more. read more

Best Filipino food in town. The Sisig is breathtaking. One of the best kept secret spots in Reno.

Anthony and his staff are amazing! They treat us just like family when we come in that it's become a regular spot for us. Food is delicious and reminds me so much of my childhood. We had our daughter's 1st birthday here. They let us set up the front room and planning food preferences was easy. Food was great, all my guests had a great time with the full bar & karaoke!

I had just landed after a 10 hr travel day & this place hit the spot. I never crave Filipino food, but it is my husband's favorite. I came here about a year ago & I will admit this place has gotten so much better in the past year. The dishes are filled with so much flavor, meat, etc. Large quality shrimps were used. They have also added a mini Filipino grocery store. read more

Unfortunately they are not organized, we came in to try the $20 buffet but they told us that it was over at 7pm. We had no choice but to pick from the regular menu and their price was extremely over price by $10 for what you received. Two main dishes with white rice and drinks $80. The cook came our table after receiving the first dish to explain that the chicken was frozen and to pick something else. This was a date night with my wife and I didn't want to leave and embarrass her. The least they can do now is give us two free buffets for our troubles. Ugh!!! read more
