From the moment we walked in, the ambiance felt nostalgic yet fresh, blending traditional Filipino decor with modern touches. The restaurant was clean, welcoming, and had a wonderful sense of openness and community. As soon as we were seated, the staff kindly pointed out the restrooms and let us know that self-serve ice water and extra napkins were readily available in the center of the room. A special shoutout to Paulina and Xavier--they were exceptionally warm, friendly, and helpful throughout our meal! The menu offers an incredible variety. Next time, we'll know to order a bit less for our young kids--the portions were much larger than expected! We definitely aren't complaining, though, especially since our hotel room had a microwave for delicious leftovers. Even our little ones thoroughly enjoyed their meals. What We Tried: Entrees: Bicol Express, Sinigang na Baboy, Vegetarian Kare-Kare, Beef Bistek, Grilled BBQ Pork Skewers Rice Bowl, and Grilled BBQ Chicken Skewers Rice Bowl Street Bites (Apps): Lumpia, Fish Balls, and BBQ Chicken Drinks: Sago't Gulaman and Strawberry Mansi Slushie Every single dish was delicious. There are so many other menu items I can't wait to try, and we will definitely be back next summer!

Absolutely loved all my dishes ordered from Renee's tonight. Yeah parking is goofy as are their…read morehours. But the food and portions were satisfying even if it's a bit more expensive than other places. Totally worth the time and price to pay. Can't wait to go back again in the future!

What a lovely lunch/ early dinner spot in the CoVA region. I have heard about Fiesta Kainan from…read moreseveral of my former coworkers before but never got around to trying them until recently. I tried out the caldereta and the mechado (?). I liked both items but I found it too oily for my liking. The vegetables were stewed perfectly and the meat texture were nice and tender. I think had I visited earlier in the day, it may have had a less oily texture to it. The accompanying soup was super sour but acted as a perfect palate cleanser after the oily meals. The service was excellent-- friendly, patient, and helpful. You can pick and choose different entrees over rice or pancit. Similar to getting food from Panda Express. The inside of the restaurant has several family friendly seatings available and baked goods and market also. Lastly, parking is free and plentiful right across from the front entrance. If an out of area Filipino asked for a good place to eat, I wouldn't hesitate recommending them. I certainly wouldn't mind revisiting again in the future.

Late review, but husband and I came here last month to meet up with a popular kapampangan vlogger…read more I was very impressed with everyone at Fiesta Kainan. I love how well they treated Mak Mariano, and his friends, and also those that came to see and hang out with him. The staff were very kind to allow us all to hang out and take pictures. The food- My hubby ate while I enjoyed hanging out, listening to, and watching Mak tell stories and interact with everyone. Hubby enjoyed the food as always. This was our 2nd time or 3rd time coming here, and even though I can't remember what we had, I know for sure we enjoyed the food. This time around my hubby had Kare-kare and really liked it! We also bought a big container of sisig to go, which we had for dinner and we absolutely love it!!! I'd say Fiesta Kainan is our new fave go to for quick Filipino meals.

Let's talk about the pineapple bun first--because I could honestly eat 10 more of these! It wasn't overly sweet, and the bun was soft with a meaty, gooey center. The coarse bits of sugar on top added a nice little crunch that made every bite even better. The hot dog bun was also amazing. The hot dog had a nice sear around it, which gave it great flavor while keeping it juicy. Definitely one of my favorites! The chicken buns were good and had a unique sweet-and-savory flavor. They weren't my absolute favorite, but they were definitely not bad--just different from what I expected. I wasn't a huge fan of the ham and cheese, though. As my husband put it, it was exactly what it was called: ham and cheese. It reminded me of a simple ham-and-cheese sandwich wrapped in a soft, fluffy blanket of bread. If that's your thing, you'll probably enjoy it! Overall, everything we tried was delicious, fresh, and clearly made with care. I'll definitely be back for more pineapple buns!

While on my Ube kick, I decided to stop by Angie's Bakery since I've heard great things about their…read moreUbe Latte. For a Sunday afternoon, it was pretty packed. The inside isn't super large so the line was almost out the door. While I waited, it gave me time to look over all the pastries. Angie's is a Filipino bakery known for its authentic, fresh-baked goods. They offer pandesal (bread rolls), cheese rolls, pecan tarts and an array of different breads and pastries. I decided on the Ube Ensaymada and the Ham & Cheese Bread along with an Ube Latte. I thoroughly enjoyed the Ube Latte, it was made perfectly and wasn't very sweet. The Ube Ensaymada was coated in sugar and had the most amazing, Ube filling, it was absolutely delicious. The Ham & Cheese Bread was also pretty tasty. Overall, I had a great experience at Angie's Bakery. The staff were very nice and I can't wait to return to try the other pastries!

They apologize about being sold out and were so nice about it. I walked out the establishment sad. So I got in my car and got on Yelp to look for other places in the area that served Lechon. As soon as I was about to pull out, here come the owners saying that had some save for their sister. They said they didn't want me to leave empty handed and called their sister to see if I can buy it. I was so hype! The lechon is so good! Will be back for some more! Only an hour back home and it's almost all gone. Thanks for making my day! Good people, business and vibe! Tip- Make sure you call to order! So if you're in the area, stop by and give it a try!!!

So a typical hour-long dining, became over 2 hours. We had 3 ordered dishes. Three. We had a short visit at VB so we had our days planned and Max's was our first stop on our map. We didn't have another chance to visit to see if that was a one off. Hopefully, next time we are in town, they've streamlined their system. Maybe wait staff should have assigned tables near each other, so we don't have to Uber ours from wherever table she is. LOL

You feel the Filipino hospitality. The price is a little pricier than typical turo turo Filipino restaurants . They do try to upsell everything - I ordered water and they indicated they have calamansi juice. I ordered the classic pork sisig and upsold the pork kawali sisig. They charge separate for rice! Service was left to be desired - they don't go around to check in on you, I had to call their attention for more water. Value - My meal came out to $24. Nothing special about their food. Not worth it, go to only at Renee's for better food.

If you are need of a comfort meal this is the place. The portions are large for a good price and I can stretch it for more than one meal. This past visit I ordered a 2 entree plate with chicken adobo and chicken stew with pancit. I also got some lumpia and Turon and ordered some Palabok for a co-worker. Everything was fresh, hot and delicious and everyone inside the restaurant was so kind. Give this spot a try for take out or dine in.

I stopped by Susan's Kitchenette because I was in the area and wanted some lumpia. When I walked in…read morethere was only one person ahead of me. They didn't have a menu posted, so I was given one when I asked. The food is cafeteria style where your plate is made in front of you. They had several options like fish, pork belly, menudo, lumpia, pancit, rice, sisig, and etc. They also had desserts, chips, turon, and drinks. I chose menudo, pancit, pork belly, and lumpia with a side of sauce for about $15. The prices seemed pretty reasonable. The portions were decent also. The menudo was flavorful and filling the meat was tender but there were a few pieces with fat. The pancit was tasty. It wasn't heavy on vegetables, I wish there were more. The pork belly was crispy and I liked it, but a few pieces were over cooked and had an awkward burnt old flavor. I can't really explain it. But the taste caught me off guard. I enjoyed the lumpia. They had beef inside and went good with the sauce. Their sweet chili sauce is yellow, not like most that are orangeish red. But it was good. The staff was busy. They didn't really talk much, but were nice. They also have a banquet room for private events. I do like their Filipino food more than some other places in the area. Definitely check them out!!

First, great job on the renovation. Place looks really nice and the place looks clean…read more Went here to get some dinner for the fam yesterday. Ended up spending over $100 on food. Sad to say that out of all the food we got, the only thing that made me happy was the small slice of sapin-sapin. I don't know what it is, it seems it's always a hit or miss now when it comes to Felynn's. This used to be the best place to go to, good service, always great food, good portions. These days I have 2nd thoughts on going because I'm afraid I'll end up wasting money on food we end up not enjoying. Bring back the good old days when people weren't being rushed to order, and food tasted like it wasn't rushed to make, the kind that your Lola or Nanay would cook and serve to their loved ones. Because back then this place wasn't just another place to eat. It was like going to a family's house or a friend's house where you feel welcomed. And when you eat, the food brings happiness and comfort because it reminds you of your Lola or Nanay's cooking, it reminds you of home.

It's an updated look inside with a cozy feel and the food is cafeteria style. They had menudo, chicken and pork on a stick, garlic rice, fried pork, desserts, and etc. I ordered lumpia, garlic rice, and pork on a stick. My sister got the turon. The lumpia was hot and fresh! It was ok but could have been a little more flavorful. The sweet chili sauce made it better. I liked the garlic rice also. The pork on a stick was a no no for me. It was tough and had a lot of tough fat on it. I couldn't eat it. I'd go back for the lumpia and rice though. My sisters turon looked good and we usually like it, but it tasted like plantian instead of banana, and it was very firm like a plantain. We've never had it like that before!! The customer service was good, it was clean inside, and the line moved along quickly. Check them out!!

This was actually my first time trying Filipino food, so I don't really have anything to compare it to. I loved that they offer combo options because it makes it so much easier to try a little bit of everything. Everything in the restaurant looks and smells so good--it definitely makes your mouth water. The food was a little on the oily side, though, and unfortunately, that didn't sit too well with my stomach. The chicken over pancit was a pleasant surprise. Just looking at it, I expected the chicken to be dry and flavorless, but it was actually tender, juicy, and flavorful! The rice, on the other hand, was pretty dry. And the lumpia? Think of a spring roll, but without all the packed-in vegetables. The chili sauce really took it up a notch. It was delicious. My husband loved the sauce, he'd probably drink it like a beverage if he could. Overall, a fun first experience with Filipino food!
