Went there twice - loved the atmosphere. The Calamansi (type of citrus) juice is a must for me! I had it 4 times total (I know.. it's a lot). Also an absolute must and my #1 dish recently - the eggplant curry. If you're a protein bro and resistant to get get vege dishes - trust me you still want this one. Just get some extra wings (which are bangers too). I like the idea of the fried fish but as a seafood snob it was average (usually I hate in seafood). The noodles (one with the bean) was excellent. I tried also two desserts with Ube - flan and crème brûlée. Both so good but brûlée was the winner for me. Service is good - just a bit busy so you'll have to make a reservation most likely for a high demand time and expect rushing waiters. read more

First of all in order to even get a reservation here you need to keep an eye on it online and they open reservations approximately 30 days beforehand and that's as far as it goes. So you need to be diligent in the first place to get a reservation and after arriving, I realized why because the place was completely packed even for an early scheduled dinner. It is located in a huge strip mall with a bunch of other restaurants and a lot of shared parking, but it gets full so you have to get lucky to find a spot and luckily parking is free While the website says they welcome walk-ins I can tell you now that on the weekend for dinner dinners good luck This was our first time here and we ordered quite a few items as you can tell from the photos. While the food is good, I will tell you that it is unique while still authentic for example, the crispy Palabok pancit is quite trendy. The lumpia Shanghai was good and you could actually taste the pork. The dessert of the flan combined cake was also good and not overly sweet. The chicken adobo was a bit on the salty side. And frankly, I thought there would be more chicken. The pork barbecue skewers were good, but not sweet and usually Filipino barbecue is supposed to be more on the sweeter side. The Halo halo was unique in the sense that it had some odd fixings on it such as marshmallows and candy that are not part of a special let alone traditional version of this. It also was missing quite a few ingredients that are what I would deem required. For example, no jackfruit and no sweet beans. I have to say, though this place definitely does justice to the Filipino culture and Filipino cuisine overall it is still a great strong restaurant that I would recommend you go to and check out. I have no other comparisons for the area, but this was definitely well worth the visit. The decor is absolutely incredible as well. Truly authentic and pays good homage to the culture and country. Congratulations to these owners and cooks for all that they have accomplished and so happy to be able to patronize Filipino owners. If I'm back in the area, definitely would come back here and try other dishes and I hope that it is all just as delicious as this meal. read more

Best restaurant in Atlanta! If you're looking for authentic Filipino food, this is the place to go! I can't recommend this place enough. The ube churos were amazing. I was so happy they served the Sisig in a hot plate which gives it a more authentic feel to it. It truly felt like I was eating food from home. The service was amazing and they always made sure we were taken care of despite it being busy. Highly recommend trying this place out! read more

Loved our experience here! It was my first time trying Filipino food and it did not disappoint. We started with the shrimp spring rolls and the chicken skewers. Both so good, but oh my gosh those skewers were incredible. I got a brunch dish that had milkfish, rice and fruit. It was original and very good! Ended with ube churros, which we enjoyed but wish tasted more like ube. I would love to come back another time to try more items! read more

Stopped here for lunch right when I got into Atlanta! It was my first time trying Filipino food family-style, and it was such a cool experience getting to share all the different dishes with friends. Everything we ordered was 10/10--the flavors were all so unique and delicious. ​Service was really fast, too, and they made sure we were taken care of. Plus, the vibe is super cozy and has an island feel. Definitely a great spot to visit. read more

Went here for dinner tonite. Ordered veggie lumpia - nothing spectacular- freshly made but won't recommend. Pork bbq appetizer and vegan Kare kare. Both were well made. Ordered one flan cake. Flan was delish, cake was dry. If I go again, churros may be. Or go to sweet hut next door. Service excellent. Spacing tight between tables. Bathroom was spotless. read more

Finally made it to Kamayan ATL for my first visit and honestly I'm still thinking about it. From the second I opened the door, the aroma of fresh spices hit me. I knew immediately I was in for a flavor explosion! The space is stunning and beautiful but so welcoming. I was meeting friends who were already deep into their meals, so I decided to jump right in with some light bites. First I tried the Veggie Lumpia. Who knew a mix of taro, cabbage, carrots, tofu, and sweet potato could taste this good fried up? Total crunch perfection. Ube Crème Brûlée captured my attention immediately. Everyone knows I'm obsessed with ube, so this was a non-negotiable. I already love a good crème brûlée, but adding ube? Game changer. This is officially my favorite dessert combo ever. They insisted I have Halo Halo Espesyal before I leave. I was stuffed, but they insisted I try their most popular treat. It's a literal party in a glass! Shaved ice topped with flan, ube ice cream, milk, tapioca, coconut jelly, jackfruit, banana, and red mung beans. It's colorful, full of surprises, and so refreshing. I was also so delighted to hear that this Michelin-celebrated restaurant does so much for the local community. I love supporting businesses that give back. Kamayan ATL is officially my new favorite spot. Keep up the amazing work. I'll see you guys again very soon! #KamayanATL #FilipinoFood #AtlantaEats #UbeLover #HaloHalo #MichelinGuide #ATLFoodie #SupportLocalATL #Veggielumpia #AtlantaDining #ashsaidit read more

Our new favorite Buford Highway go to....maybe all of Atlanta. This is a 5+. We came in for lunch on a Saturday at 130 PM. Place is packed packed packed from the world over. Just awesome. Everything about this restaurant gives off great vibes. The order: App - Pork Skewers. The flavor was great and spicy. Very healthy portion. Entree. Eggplant Coconut - oh my. One of the best issues I've ever had. Delicious! Bean Noodle Vermicelli (menu has another name for it). Outstanding flavor and mix of meets and vegetables and noodles. The noodle flavor just popped when you took a bite. We will be back!!! Excellent. read more

It was our first time trying Filipino food. It gets super packed on weekends, so I would recommend doing reservations. We got the green beans, shrimp rolls, garlic prawns, pork leg, adobo chicken, and most of the ube desserts. We enjoyed the green beans and adobo chicken. The flavors were unique on both dishes. The other dishes were fine, but nothing really stood out. The ube charros were amazing, definitely get those. The service was ok, we had to keep asking for everything: silverware, plates, napkins, water. read more

Very cute restaurant in the staff is very friendly. This was our first time having Filipino food so we split a few dishes. The flavor is definitely more spanish. I think we all wished we had some kind of hot sauce or something, but that's more just us being unfamiliar. The desserts were delicious! Ube crème brûlée is a must read more

We used to get Kamayan when it used to be pick up spot. We loved the presentation but felt like the food was always too cold for our liking. Once it opened as a restaurant, they weren't very experienced and food took hours to pick up so we kind of forgotten about the spot but I recently went and they finally got everything straightened out. Food came out fast, service was good, and the food was warm and delicious that I cant wait to go back! Loved their veggie curry dish and my favorite lechon fillappino dish. Will come back for more! read more

Green beans - 5/5 delicious. Unique flavors citrusy, sweet and spicy. Really enjoyed Lumpia - 5/5 perfect for what it is. Simple and really well done Vegan noodles - 4/5 really well seasoned. Solid portion. But not something that'll call me back. Shrimp - 2/5 2 only because the flavors were really there. But get this, the shrimp was not deveined. I had to clean shit myself. Really made the experience unpleasant. Ambiance - 5/5 Service - 3/5. They forgot my rice. When I requested for it they just smiled and walked away. Had to ask someone else. One entree dish came out much later than the other. Overall: for something that costs $40 per person. I expected way better service and un cleaned shrimp is just lousiness read more

This restaurant is in the same plaza as many other popular businesses, but the parking lot is huge so it shouldn't be too hard to find a spot. We made a reservation for 5 people at Kamayan for a Thursday night, and while not as busy as a weekend, it was still very busy. We had a nice booth spot in the smaller room in the back for our group, and we ordered several dishes. I personally lean to giving this place a 3.5/5, but I always prefer rounding up then rounding down. We definitely had some favorite dishes. The kaldereta was definitely the fan favorite of the group. It had such a good spice kick to it, and the tomato stew was so good. The second favorite for me was the Bicol express because I really enjoyed the curry of it. I personally didn't like the laing because I don't like too strong of a coconut flavor, and it was pretty obvious in it. My friends really enjoyed it though and really liked the taro leaves in it. I would the middle dishes were the pompano and lumpia. They weren't bad, but they weren't memorable. The misses for the group were definitely the desserts and the kare kareng. The kare kareng was bland and just didn't have much flavor to it compared to the other dishes. The desserts were disappointing for us. The ube caramel brulee was lacking the ube flavor. The ube flavoring in the churros and the puto personally gave a bit of a playdoh taste to us, so we didn't enjoy it too much or even really finish it. Overall, we probably wouldn't dine in again, but we would definitely get the kaldereta to go! read more

Amazing food. Even better ambience. Highly recommend. Went with a baby as well and they were very accommodating.

One place I recommend to all my friends and family who visit ATL to never miss out! Firstly the staff are so friendly, and the ambiance is always so welcoming. If you have no dietary restrictions you'll have an amazing meal and you wont know where to even start. As a vegetarian, there were less options but I still leave super satisfied and happy! The veggie lumpia, the baguio beans (MUST ORDER!), and the vegan pancit bihon are all my favorite dishes! And don't forget or skip out on ordering dessert, all are great staples (Ube churros are my favorite). If you're visiting ATL or just a local lurking around the Doraville area, definitely don't miss this place! read more

I've been interested in Filipino food for a long time, specifically sisig. However, I was never brave enough to visit a Filipino restaurant alone. Recently, on a visit to Atlanta, I dined with a friend and his Filipino girlfiend - they suggested we meet at Kamayan. Kamayan is in a bustling plaza on Buford Highway, but there was plenty of parking. There was a large crowd of people outside this venue, and plenty of folks standing around INSIDE too. These were good signs. My friends and I were seated immediately (they had a reservation - I suggest making one, given the crowd there). I happily listened to my friend's GF make recommendations for food (she fully supported me ordering sisig). We ordered a variety of appetizers and we each had our own entree. The apps were OK, nothing really stood out to me. But the sisig was unreal! It came in a cast iron skillet (which was super hot! I received a warning, lol) and it was unmixed. It had a huge spoon in it though which made it easy to stir up. I popped the sisig on some rice and dug in. It was absolutely amazing! I'd have eaten more of it, but I was full from the appetizers and sampling other folk's food. The flavors of sisig were beyond my imaginings. What's even better is the dish, sisig, improved over the course of several days. I reheated it 2 days later and it was even more amazing. I'm definitely going to get Filipino food again, sooner than later. Kamayan itself is a cute space, but seemingly on the small side. I heard they're expanding though. Service was great! The owner came by specifically to speak to my friends. Good all around. Highly recommend. read more

It was a hot day and air conditioning was not working probably in the restaurant. The food was okay, nothing was wrong, but nothing was worth writing home about.

I've eaten here a few times already, but I knew I'd be back for their Kamayan style feast, so held off on writing a review. Unsurprisingly, it was great! The set menu was chosen to give everyone a taste of the different regions/islands of the Philippines, and we were told a little bit about what Kamayan means. Traditionally, it's meant to be eaten by hand, but we were given gloves, utensiles, plates, and bowls to eat with. I'm glad that I was able to try more of their dishes, especially the eggplant curry, since I personally wouldn't have thought to order that (not a fan of eggplant, but you barely notice it here!). You can taste the coconut, and it made the curry very creamy. Many found it to be their favorite dish, though I still prefer their beef kare kare or Odessa's dinuguan more. Of course, the classic chicken adobo was also served in the feast, and it's still as delicious as ever. The chicken was juicy and tender, the marinade not overly salty either. I didn't take enough photos to put names to the dishes I had, but I do remember having their pork belly, which was a bit inconsistent. Some pieces were overly salty, and some were really dry, but overall, I liked them and would look for it on the menu another time to order it myself. They have many small plates, and while all of them are good, I just LOVE their baguio beans. I would gravitate and order them almost every time. The lumpias (any filling) are also good, but chicharrons are better for sharing and snacking with. The skewers are nice, and if you don't want to order an entree since it's a larger meal, skewers are a good choice. Now... I'm not sure if I would do the feast again ($80/person), but I will definitely be back. I recommend making a reservation though if you don't want to wait ~30 minutes before being seated. read more

Been wanting to try this spot for so long and finally got around to it! Made a reso via Resy for Sunday lunch. We were seated right away and I loved the bright and lively atmosphere, decor was on point, from the paintings on the walls down to the choices in plates and branded cups. We ordered the fish sauce wings, pork skewers, chicken adobo, and beef kare kare. Came with a big bowl of rice that was more than enough for my husband and I. I enjoyed everything, although my husband's fave was definitely the skewers, super flavorful although too salty for me. I would say my fave was the beef kare kare with tender beef and a delicious peanut curry. Def need to eat everything with plain rice! Wings were good - also crispy and flavorful but would try a different app next time. Chicken adobo was super tender but didn't taste like other adobos we've had. Maybe it was too elevated? Lol For dessert we ordered the ube flan. Overall good but wished the cake was more moist, it was a bit dry. Service was great throughout, I think this restaurant is definitely worth a try if you've been curious! read more

I've heard so much about this place and am glad I finally got to try it! I've never been to a Filipino restaurant and this was a great first experience! The service was great and the food came out super quick and was super fresh! The lumpias are a must get, they're so crispy and are the perfect appetizers to share. The fried pork belly omg, what's not to like? It was so flavorful and so perfectly crispy! I had never seen chicken adobo come as a full chicken with the bones before so that surprised me but the meat fell right off the bones! Again, it was so flavorful and so juicy! I also loved the tamarind pork bone soup we got, it was EXTREMELY sour though so if you're not into that I wouldn't get it. I would definitely come here again and try other dishes cause everything was just so fresh and so tasty! Highly recommend the pork belly for sure! read more

We had a great experience at Kamayan ATL. The food was delicious and service, specifically from our server Ray J, was excellent. This Filipino restaurant gets a solid four stars in my book. For details, keep reading. Kamayan is popular and is known as *the* Filipino restaurant in metro Atlanta. The business started in 2018 as a series of pop-ups around town. After several years, Kamayan's much-awaited brick-and-mortar storefront opened at Buford Highway's Asian Square in December 2022: https://www.instagram.com/p/ClmBFv5uCm3/?img_index=1 I've lived in Atlanta since 2000 and can name only two other Filipino restaurants, off the top of my head: Fil-Am Star Cafe and Bakery (opened 2011, closed 2013) and Kuya's Food Express (still open, since 2011). Coincidentally, Fil-Am Star was also in Asian Square, where Mamak is today. Kuya's isn't a full-service restaurant, but instead a food court stall inside City Farmers Market in Duluth. BTW, for long-time Atlantans, who remembers Asiana Garden (Korean, maybe Korean-Chinese) from the early 2000s, located in the same corner of Asian Square where Kamayan is today? Kamayan chef-owners Mia Orino and Carlo Gan were James Beard Awards 2022 semifinalists for "Restaurant and Chef Awards - Emerging Chef." Kamayan was listed in the inaugural Michelin Guide for Atlanta in 2023 and maintained inclusion in 2024. Carlo checked us in and ran front of house during an incredibly busy Saturday evening service. Reservations are recommended. When we visited, walk-in wait times were about 45-60 minutes. Book using Resy. Parties of eight or more must email kamayanatl@gmail.com. Currently, they're not offering Kamayan-style feasts, which you may have seen on social media, during regular business hours. "Kamayan" is Tagalog for "by hand" and refers to a traditional Filipino family-style meal where food is served on banana leaves and eaten with hands. The owners did a nice job designing and decorating the space, giving it a cozy, homey feel. During our visit, it was packed and loud. I saw groups of varying sizes, from couples on dates to families of 10 with kids. Due to the limited space, you will feel squeezed in during peak times. The vibe was fun. Below is a list of what three of us ordered. We got everything that Ray J recommended. Note: There are differences between the restaurant's paper menu, online order menu, and QR code menu: https://order.toasttab.com/order-and-pay/kamayan-atl-5150-buford-highway-northeast/5 Small Plates * Baguio Beans ($9) - wok-fried green beans seasoned with chilis and Philippine lime * Pork Lumpia (5 pieces for $8) - Filipino spring rolls filled with seasoned ground pork; served with sweet chili sauce * Veggie Lumpia (4 pieces for $8) - Filipino spring rolls filled with taro, cabbage, carrots, and other vegetables; served with sweet chili sauce or vinegar Entrees * Ginataang Talong ($18) - eggplant coconut curry with green beans and purple cabbage; mild spice * Kare Kareng Baka ($20) - beef peanut stew with bok choy and green beans; served with bagoong (shrimp paste) * Sizzling Sisig ($21) - slow-roasted pork belly, chopped cheek and snout with pate served on a sizzling plate; mild spice * Laing ($19) - taro leaves and pork belly cooked in ginger, coconut milk and spices Desserts * Ube Flan Cake ($5 per slice) - purple yam creme caramel cake * Halo Halo Espesyal ($11) - shaved ice with milk, tapioca pearls, plantains, ice cream, flan, palm jelly, jackfruit, navy beans, coconut jellies, mung beans, purple yam jam * Ube Churros (4 pieces for $5) - purple yam fried dough with purple yam coconut dip * Turon (3 pieces for $7) - plantains with jackfruit wrapped in lumpia wrappers, deep fried and coated with caramelized sugar * Ube Macapuno Cake ($6) Drinks * Gumamela (Hibiscus) Iced Tea ($5) Overall, everything was very flavorful and tasty. My top picks are the Baguio Beans, Pork and Veggie Lumpia, Ginataang Talong (my favorite dish), and Ube Flan Cake. In general, the dishes we had were rich and heavy, especially the entrees. Some were also a bit on the salty side for me, like the Sizzling Sisig and the Laing. They were still delectable, however. The Sizzling Sisig is probably my second-favorite entree while it's the Laing for my wife. She loves how creamy and complex it is. All of the ingredients were fresh and the meats (beef, pork belly) were tender. Portion sizes were generous. Leftovers fed my wife and me for over two more meals. While my favorite dessert was the Ube Flan Cake, it was the Turon for my wife. You can think of them as sweet crispy spring rolls filled with plantains and strips of jackfruit. They were quite yummy. The Halo Halo Espesyal, which I was looking forward to, was just OK, unfortunately. It looked really good, though. Ray J had a terrific attitude and took wonderful care of us. There was another server towards the end who didn't have the same demeanor (instead, stressed) and it felt like we were being rushed to leave. read more

The service was great, and the staff are very kind. The vibe is nice and classy but still inviting, although bigger parties may have abit of a squeeze. The food is good, but not quite worth the price. They have lots of options, including vegan options. You can scan a QR code to see rhe menu or ask for physical menus if you need them. The food came out pretty quickly, and the bathrooms are very nice and clean. Would recommend to a friend. read more

Ugh there's so many complaints I have unfortunately. This was by far one of the worst experiences I've ever had in a restaurant. I was in Atlanta for a work/birthday trip and found this Filipino place and wanted to try it for my birthday. Worst mistake ever. We made a reservation since it was recommended and we ended up getting there a little earlier and asked if it was okay and the guy who finally came to the front to greet us was just like "uhhhh give me 10 mins" and got someone else. The 2nd person was looking around at the half empty place trying to figure out where to put us which I'm like what was the point of making a reservation when they weren't organized enough to handle it? Idk the whole situation seemed unprofessional We ordered the sinigang ribs $19 (which we were told might be out of stock so he had to go check and then went ahead and put in the order even though I asked to change it to someone else when he came back so I wasn't able to change it which is fine), laing $19, and chicken skewers $12. The sinigang ribs were a soup which I didn't realize at first but still ate it cause that's a waste of food if we didn't. They described it as a sweet and sour soup. Wrong. It was super sour AND super salty. Definitely no sweetness at all. I only ate the pork ribs and didn't bother with the rest :( I didn't try the laing cause I'm not a fan of coconut milk but my partner said this wasnt bad but it didn't look appetizing and was also super salty and heavily spiced. He only ate the meat in this one as well. The chicken skewers were the only good thing but also super salty. These skewers were the only reason why this review is getting 2 stars. We didn't even finish this cause we were out of rice at this point and it was just too salty to finish The first guy we initially saw was the one that took our order and then promptly forgot to give us rice and napkins 2 different times after he told us "let me get you some rice" and after we asked for napkins. Another girl came up to us (probably to see how everything was) but just had a brain fart or something and just stared at us for a solid minute before saying "rice" and walking away. She also didn't get us the rice by the way. This funny experience is also why this is getting 2 stars. There was an older guy there that may have been the owner was the one that finally brought out the rice. This place has good potential but honestly they need to hire new servers and taste their food to make sure it's not so salty that I feel dehydrated after one bite I don't recommend this place after the experience I had on my birthday (or anyway really) read more

No wonder this place is Michelin-recommended--it's amazing! The food is flawless--sisig, lechon, lumpia, chicken adobo, halo-halo, ube flan cake--everything's perfect.

The place was bustling with activity when we came in and it was beautifully decorated. Thankfully, there was seating at the "bar" area and we were seated right away. We got a front row seat to the staff prepping takeout orders and setting up the dishes right before delivering to the tables. The staff was all very friendly and the owner talked to us for a bit and ended up taking our order. However, the communication was not great between the staff and our food got a little mixed up in the chaos. We placed our food order all at once: hot ginger tea, pork lumpia, chicken adobo, a curry dish, and ube puto with halaya filling. First up, we received the order of the pork lumpia, which was fresh and delicious. This was accompanied by the hot ginger tea; the ginger really was strong in a good way. Then, we got our curry dish, which came with rice. The sauce was so flavorful and the curry was wonderful over rice. At this point, we were feeling quite full. But, we waited for our second dish. And we waited. We questioned some of the bustling staff and they didn't have any idea what we had ordered. At this point, we probably should've canceled the second entree, but we didn't know if they had already started making it yet. We asked for a box for the bit of curry and rice we had left, and if they had started the chicken adobo, they should just pack it to go for us. During the time that we waited for the second dish to be made and packaged, another server asked us if we ordered the ube flan, and we mentioned that we're just waiting on more food and an order of ube puto. She said she'd check on it, but gave us the ube flan cake anyway. It was pretty delicious, but I was disappointed the ube wasn't in the flan, but in the cake attached. I didn't originally order it though, so I wasn't too upset. We got the ube puto shortly and were wondering where the filling was, because we couldn't really taste it. Then our remaining entree came out and they boxed it for us, then threw another order of ubo puto in there. We mentioned that we already received the dessert, but then they said not to worry about it. Then they threw in an order of ube churros as well, and said not to worry about those either. We were very confused, but we weren't going to complain about additional free desserts. However, when it came to pay, nobody knew what we ordered in total. We repeated our items for check out, but since the churros in the final bag, we ended up getting charged for them even though we didn't order them originally. Overall, the food was all very delicious. It felt very homey and like I was eating at a family's house. But the whole miscommunication was a little frustrating, hence the 4/5. read more

Used to like this place, however our experience today was subpar. I asked for extra fish sauce, I didn't get it. Didn't get refills on our water. They dropped of our food and the server didn't even check on us after. The serving size for the my food was also tiny for $22. The food has always been overpriced, but now the serving sizes have also become tiny read more

Just try this gem once and the food will keep you coming back! Think authentic, but elevated filipino food at its finest. The bisteksilog brunch dish is especially delicious. The beef is super tender with a rich sauce that is one of the best versions of bistek I've ever had. I could eat the baguio beans all day! They are cooked to a perfect bite and the touch of kalamansi and a hint of spice elevate the flavor while a crispy topping helps hit all the right notes. BBQ chicken skewers are another go-to here. They are juicy and packed with flavor. The mango juice is super fresh and a great pairing that adds to that authentic filipino cuisine experience. read more

Kamayan ATL is the best Filipino restaurant we've been to thus far, with excellent customer service. Staff were friendly, provided great menu recommendations, checked on us multiple times, and our food arrived quickly despite how packed the restaurant was. The prices were very reasonable, the decor was cute, and the food presentation was impressive. We especially loved the pork lumpia, kare kareng baka, pancit bihon/canton mix, and calamansi juice. This restaurant is popular, so we recommend making a reservation in advance. read more

We had reservations for two at noon last Sunday. We each ordered from the Sunday only I had Bangsilog (fried milkfish) and my wife chose Tocilog (pork) and we shared Ube Flan Cake for dessert.

Kamayan Atl - Baguio Beans - Filipino Near Me - Doraville, Georgia

ATL is bringing some FILIPINO LOVE!! Hats off to an amazing meal at Kamayan last week, possibly the best Filipino cuisine I've eaten in the past several years. All the savory food here is hands down delicious....seriously SO GOOD! I wish there was Filipino food like this in NYC. (Happy for any recommendations if anyone has them!) Came with a party of 5 with reservations for a Friday night at 7pm, the restaurant was packed. We arrived around the end of first service and when second service started and basically all the tables were accounted for. They have around 50-60 seats in the open area and another 30ish in the back party hut. The decor involves tropical colors and island themed furniture, lighting fixtures, wall art, table cloth and pillows (on the wall side banquet seating). I love the woven straw lamps hanging from the ceiling, they're intricate and beautiful. The "party hut" in the back is a semi-private room for larger parties or small events, the outside is covered in bamboo poles with a straw "roof", reminiscent of traditional island abodes. Using rattan chairs for some of the seating adds another laid-back island element to the ambiance. You can tell a lot of care went into the details. The food: Wow wow wow!!! Where do I start... Wok-fried green beans $8: you HAVE TO ORDER THESE. One of the tastiest renditions of green beans I've ever eaten in my life. Slightly spicy and slightly zesty from the lime, that savory umami is addictive. Fried chicken wings $10: 5pc seasoned with Rufina fish sauce. Thumbs up to this lightly crunchy exterior, tender interior wonderfully seasoned appetizer. They did chicken wings proud. BBQ chicken and pork skewers $11 each: Can I get a WHOOT for the yummy marinade used on each, terrific examples of meat on a stick. Sizzling sisig $20: a must-eat here, a traditional Filipino dish of pork minced parts served on a sizzling plate with a raw egg on top to mix in. Tied with the green beans as my favorite dish of the night. Lechon Kawali $18: crispy deep-fried cubes of pork belly served with Mang Tomas sauce--kinda like a tangy vinegarette. Just the right amount of fry to crisp up the skin and keep the insides moist. Beef Kare-Kare $19: delicious curry-like stew with eggplant, beef, green beans. Served in a clay pot and was a perfect cold weather dish to serve over rice. Terrific that the stew portion wasn't over-salted. Would highly recommend, and my second favorite of the meal. Chicken Adobo $16 x2: tender stewed chicken. Their version of this was one of the best I've tried, (though admittedly I haven't eaten that much Filipino food). A confluence of flavors though felt like a homey embrace. Sinigang Pork Ribs $18 x2: this is a soup and we kinda ordered it by mistake thinking it was the Crispy Pata, once we cleared this up all was good. This prob wouldn't have been our first choice since it was proper SE Asian sour given it was a tamarind soup, though I could appreciate the authentic flavor. The pork ribs that came in it were large and tender. Ube churros $5: after the meal above we basically didn't have room for dessert though I was craving something sweet so ordered these based on a server recommendation. Flavor was good though dough was firmer than I expected--thought churros would be light and crisp on outside, soft on inside. This iteration had vanilla custard piped into the center and then rolled in sugar and served with a ube coconut dip on the side, I think it would've been better/lighter without the custard. Unlimited rice: they keep it coming, and even let us take extra rice to go. One of my friends couldn't stop eating this, and remarked it was the tastiest rice she'd eaten in a while. Service: waitstaff was friendly and helpful, instructing us on how to scan QR code and providing descriptions if we weren't clear. Lightning fast food prep we started getting food within 5 min of ordering. Staff checked in our table periodically. Haha already planning the things I want to order next time: lumpia, laing, pampano, palabok, pancit bihon, crispy pata, halo halo, ube flan cake. read more

This place is lovely! We made a reservation and were seated immediately. The initial service took a little while, but everyone there is truly bustin' it--it's just a popular place! Our server, Vanessa, was AWESOME!! We had never eaten at a Filipino restaurant before, and she really helped guide us through the menu, even showing us pictures when we needed. My favorite dishes from the meal were the beef stew and the green beans. When we left the restaurant, my husband said that he would happily go there again next week--there are so many dishes that we still want to try! read more

Went with a couple friends and shared various dishes, among them the lechcon kawali, chicken adobo, and kalereta. The first two dishes mentioned were ordered to get a taste of famously eaten filipino entrees and the last to explore a bit more. The lechcon kawali was served with Mang Thomas sauce or vinegar, both coming in the smallest container of sauce you could possibly request for giant cubes of meat. I recommend the first sauce over the vinegar due to its added complexity where the vinegar was very one dimensionally tart. The pork belly itself was on the drier side. The chicken adobo, however, was incredibly disappointing. It was not only dry but incredibly salty, salty to the point that none of us touched the two legs served. The kalereta was the star of the show, but while yummy, had lots of oil pooling on top of the curry itself. It left us incredibly bloated after. The service was sub-par; our server took our order, dropped them off, and dropped off our checks. When I found that there were random floaty bits in my water, it was incredibly hard to flag down a server. While I understand you're busy, I believe it is necessary to visit your tables occasionally. The place was well decorated and lively. It was loud enough where I had to speak at a raised volume. I had more hopes for a restaurant on the Michelin guide, but my experience at Kamayan makes me wonder if it's worth paying for overpriced food. read more

Food is delicious! Service was pretty fast. Ambiance gives Philippines and tropical island. Love the table settings making the room vivacious. My favorites include the bbq chicken skewers, green beans, beef skewers, pancit, ube churros, flan ube cake. So flavorful and juice on the skewers were good for. Definitely will be back for halo halo and try other dishes! read more

Came on a Saturday evening. It was incredibly busy but since we had a reservation, were seated immediately. The service was quick and food was served fast. We ordered crispy pasta, beef kare kare, diniguan, lechon kawali, crispy palabok, eggplant and chicken adobo. Lechon is always solid. The pata was a little dry and probably a little much since we already had lechon. The diniguan was excellent as was the eggplant. The adobo was solid but standard. I liked the palabok topping but the crispy noodles was a little off. I would try it again but with regular noodles. We talked ourselves into some Halo halo and it was a great end to the meal. Definitely recommend coming with a few people for a family style meal read more

Masalap salap!!!! Super yummy Filipino food. I want to start by saying the longanisa lumpia changed my life. I never thought to combine these two iconic dishes, and they did this soooooo well. Dipped in the vinegar gives a great tang. All the food was served hot. I like how they made the Sisig cuts into little cubes, that is my favorite sisig style. The curry had a little spicy kick, which made it even more amazing. The greens with a coconut style mix + spice was a good call. The pancit palabok was classic and tasted yummy. The plate presentation was beautiful. The chicharron added on top was smart thinking. Service is good! We ordered and paid through the online menu making it super easy. Make sure to RESERVE!!!! Super cute style inside, and I love the lil house with tables in the room. Just look at my pic, it's adorable! Very busy, but very worth it. Thank you for the warm welcome in Atlanta! read more
