Delicious food and wonderful desserts! We ordered too many food because they all tasted good. The…read moreomelette had more ground pork than eggplant. It goes well with ketchup, rice, and rice noodle. Rice noodle is very tasty, with more flavorful than the side dish version. Chicken inasal took time to cook but was worth the wait. I also like their vinegar dipping sauce for the chicken. Lumpia is crunchy and tasty. We could not stop enjoying them. Even though we could not finish all the food, we had to have halo halo. It is so refreshing especially on the hot day. Then we got some tarts and bread to go.

Sweet beans assorted types. Then it was layered with shave ice. I think she added milk or coconut milk and a little sweetened condensed milk. Sprinkles of crunchy topping, corn, flan and topped with Ube ice cream. I'm sure I might have missed some other key ingredients. But I tell you, it was so refreshing and delicious to consume. I wouldn't recommend trying to eat this in the car. It can become messy. Better to consume it there. I also bought a bag of these addicting salt and vinegar chicharron. Yummy!

this was a sad state of affairs. I came here with my family with high hopes of enjoying their…read morefood. I think we arrived around 10 or 10:30am. we talked to the lady behind the counter, briefly. she said that they didn't have much ready, only these 2 dishes that I did not recognize but also could not catch the names of. my husband who is filipino also wasn't so sure as to what she'd said. hmm. nothing was ready. all the food that was out was cold and needed to be heated up. well, that means it was pre-made and wasn't fresh. the store, when you walk in, there are snacks galore. there are plenty of tables to sit and enjoy your food but without food we had no reason to sit and enjoy anything. this was a complete bummer of a visit, one that we'd made quite a long drive for. it was a huge disappointment. I doubt we will come here again but if we are ever in the area again, which I am sure that one day we will be. . . we will not be coming here just because of the SMH NOT GOOD experience that we had here this time. sorry but you need to get it together. the idea of your combo meals and things was awesome but it just isn't possible when no food is ready/available.

This was my first time eating at Tambayan, and I was pleasantly surprised. I am fairly new to…read moreFilipino cuisine and I found the food here flavorful, comforting, and unlike anything I have tried before. The staff was welcoming and happy to explain the menu, which made it easier for a first-time visitor like me to choose what to order. I decided to go with the chicken inasal, fried bangus (milkfish), pork sinigang, and a side of pancit. All the rice plates were simple yet perfectly proportioned and presentable. My favorites were the chicken inasal, pancit, and lumpia. I was not a fan of the pork sinigang, as I found the acidity from the tamarind a bit too strong. I am glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried Filipino food. I enjoyed the unique flavors each dish had to offer, and I look forward to coming back to explore more menu items in the future. Highly recommended for anyone looking to try something new!

If you love intestines grilled with fatty texture then this is a must for you. It's worth the adventure along with the famous filipino hotdog which most Asians who grew up eating as a kid. If you can handle eating kare-kare or Mexican menudo, then you'll love this fatty goodness. I did not know what pork bangs was until I asked what it was. Worth it! This alone gave this place a 5 star for street food. First Time Customer Via Uber Eats First Impressions This place is located at Highland Food Hub which is a commercial kitchen that has other food/beverage related businesses. Banana Turon- It's really good All Day Breakfast Combos- Good. Just for a quick meal. One egg not two. If you want something close to Midtown or Uptown filipino food this place is good. I haven't tried their other menu so I really can't say anything. As for value with two egg breakfast, stick with Halo-Halo on 35thAve+Dunlap $10.50. This place is closed on Mon or Tue. Check Highland Food Hub for hours. Their fried rice is huge(no photo). I still have to try it.

Not there anymore, closed months ago, they need to update their yelp info…read more Fyi: this address is a pick up window for several food businesses, its a one man band type of thing, shared kitchen by several cooks, different food category, theres a kiosk to order your food and window to pick up your order. Sketchy area, dark street, u go into a parking lot, almost looked like a food truck parking, then theres a structure, no windows, only doors to go into then u see a keypad to press and gets confused if youre in the right place lol. What a trip. I thought I was in some kind of a prank to be honest. When I finally made it inside the guy looked at me and asked if he can help me, I asked if theres any filipino food available lol, he said nuhhh u gotta go to so and so street its really close, which I replied, ok thanks, and left.

Tried the spicy beef lonnganisa & egg breakfast sandwich. With a spicy sauce and pickled jalapeños, the soft and slightly sweet bun compliments the salty sausage and egg really well. SO delicious! Also grabbed a few pastries to try: the Silvana cookies and classic brazo de Mercedes (soft meringue rolled around a firm lemon curd filling). Perfect with tea or black coffee! The space is clean and airy, with plenty of seating. Will need to come back and try their flavored coffees, which seem popular and their Sansrival cake and Une brazo de mercedes (which they had sold out of today)!
