A large group of my friends came here on a Saturday. We made reservations since there were 15+ of us at 5 pm since it was either that or 8 pm based on availability. While booking, we were informed that we would be limited to an hour only because of how busy they are so we made sure to look at the menu in advanced. Ordering was very convenient since it's all done and paid for online, especially because it would have been a lot of individual checks anyways. We got to try so many of their dishes including Beef Kare Kare, Pancit bihon, Lumpia, Sizzling sisig, Chicken adobo, Chicharrones, and string beans. Everything was super flavorful and tender! My favorite dishes was the Sizzling sisig and Pancit bihon hands down. The adobo however, was a little too salty for my liking. They provided us with endless amounts of white rice to enjoy with the saucy dishes and tried their best to check in on us regularly. Dessert included Pandan cake and Halo halo espesyal. The cake was spongy and slightly sweet with a subtle pandan flavor. Halo halo was cold and refreshing with lots of cutely decorated different toppings. Overall, I had a great experience with good food, friendly service, and positive vibes. Would come again and recommend others to check them out too! read more

The food was very good. Except the shrimp as it's not deveined and I could feel the sand when eating the shrimp. The rolls were crisp, noodles were yummy and sizzling sisig was delicious. read more

Enjoyed every part of the dining experience here! Before I go into details about food, I highly suggest you make an online reservation over attempting to walk in. I definitely underestimated how popular this place is, and I'm so glad I made day of reservations hours before. The restaurant space is definitely cozy and you'll be pretty close to your neighboring diners. But the decor is very beautifully decorated that you have so much to look at that you forget how close you are to others, haha. And don't worry your food will be out so quick you won't have long to be bothered by how close your table is to the next party. What we ordered: pork lumpia, pansit palabok, wok fried green beans, and lechon kawali. White rice was free and included! Everything was so sooooo good! Every item came out fast, HOT and crispy. The palabok was different for me compared (texture is gravy-like) to any noodle dish I have had before, but it was very tasty. Drinks: calamansi juice -- amazing. So refreshing even on a cold January day in Atlanta! Desserts: Halo halo and Ube churros -- both so good. I've only had halo halo 2 other times in my life and this one has been one of my favorites so far. The Halo halo has a slice of their flan that was so rich, it made me wish I had more room to order just the flan itself! The churros were delicious and came out super crispy and warm! Ordering via the QR code was super easy as well as paying via it as well. If you plan to use this method to order, order your desserts too (you know you're gonna want something), and simply just tell them when you're done with your meal so they can bring it out for you! The staff here is so helpful and really knows their stuff when it comes to the menu items. And they're all so nice and welcoming. Overall, such a refreshing and much needed addition to the food scene here in GA! Can't wait to come back with my whole family! read more

So delicious! Staff was very friendly and every single table was constantly full. We went on a weeknight, so luckily we didn't have to wait for a table even though we didn't have a reservation. Would definitely come back again! read more

My son brought me here on my last night in ATL. All the food was amazing. We had the green beans and lumpiaciano for appetizers. Both were so good but I especially loved the green beans. Our entree beef kare kare and lechon kewali. Again both was delicious. The lechon seemed to be marinated first. Kind of taste like adobo. The kare kare flavors were phenomenal and the beef chucks were so tender. We ended the night with ube flan for dessert. The right taste and not too sweet for a dessert. Everything was tasty to Perfection! The service was very good. Our waitress was very attentive and personable. The ambiance was a cool and upbeat vibe. Everyone from all ages and races were enjoying Kamayan! read more

I've been wanting to come here for a loooooong time and I practically skipped my way in here when we were finally in the area. Ambiance is cute, clean, and fun, and the tables were pretty much all filled. I would recommend getting a reservation so guarantee a spot; we just got really lucky that we came during an off time and they had a couple tables open. We had a few entrees and a LOT of dessert: Chicken skewers: I couldn't believe how tender and juicy this was; you taste the charred smokiness from grill and it was an absolute flavor bomb. You really can't go wrong with this. Wok fried green beans: Another crowd pleaser. Cooked perfectly with a good amount of flavor and a zingy kick at the end to leave you wanting more! Pancit: This was not as flavorful as the others, but I didn't think it needed to me, especially as the other dishes were very strong and this provided a good balance for me. My friend, on the other hand, was not a fan as he wanted everything to be crazy flavor bombs. My only critique on this was the there were a few pieces of pork, but they were 98% fat and just a few shreds of meat; it'd be nicer to have some pieces with more substance. Halo halo: I was hoping there would be ube ice cream, but alas not with this one. Still, it was pleasant to eat all the little goodies inside the drink and fun to look at. Ube flan: The flan was decadent, rich, and creamy, and the ube cake portion was moist, but mellow and light. To me, the flan overpowered the ube taste, but overall we still liked it. Ube puto: I actually like my desserts on the lighter, not-so-sweet end, and this was exactly that. Light, fluffy, and just a hint of sweetness. My friend, who's more of a sweet tooth, did not care for this dessert. Ube churros: Speaking of sweet tooth, if you have one then you will LOVE this. It'll take a bit longer than the other desserts, but they come out fresh, crispy, and drenched in ube magic sauce. My friend killed this one. Overall, the foods are cooked fresh and made to order, as every order we got was sizzling hot. The employees are all also very friendly and personable--truly makes you feel like family here. I would love to be back to try the diniguan and sisig, which many have raved about, and to perhaps one day reserve a kamayan for an event or family gathering. Presentation, flavor, and authenticity are all there--stop by and give it a try! read more

I love small scale family run businesses more than large scale. Make sure to have reservation if you have large party. Food was brought promptly, fresh and hot. Everything we ordered was good. All lumpias were crispy, not oily to taste. Definitely recommend shrimp lumpia. All the bbq skewers are a must try. Adobo was comforting. Bistek Baryo was peppery and rightly spiced perfect for the cold weather. Fried pompano was crispy (pro tip- ask for extra chillies, pickled veggies and dipping sauce, make sure each bite has these seasoning). By design the fried fish tends to be little unseasoned and flavor is added when you combine accessory flavors.. some of our party members just ate fish and didn't like it (but they didn't do it right). Eggplant coconut curry was sumptuous.. Amazing family style dining. read more

Best Filipino food in Atlanta. I have been several times and have never been disappointed. Yes I have tried everything on the menu. You can't go wrong with anything you order. I rate it 10 stars. Make a reservation though, that's how delicious it is. read more

This place is absolutely amazing and I understand how it landed on Michelin guides radar. My friends and I came here for brunch without reservation and host was very accommodating and allowed us to sit at a bar and procured an extra chair for us. it is very friendly towards vegetarians and I hahad vegetarian peanut dish. It was absabsolutely divine and must say going to this place to try Filipino food was worth it! I also enjoyed the ambiance which was contemporary with hints of tradition. Highly recommend this place for Filipino food. read more

Excellent spot. Easy online ordering and excellent service. It's in a strip mall on Burford with ample parking. We had reservations and they have ample seating for big parties. Their menu has changed since the versions on yelp and I believe they have expanded it ever since their Michelin recommendation. Loved all our food but our favorite was tacos and blood stew. Very unique and very reasonable prices read more

I went with a small team from work to Kamaya and I was incredibly impressed. It is located in a large strip mall with a variety of Asian businesses. It is cute and colorfully decorated. The service was great. Ordering is done with a QR code at the table and a mobile POS system. We ordered way too much food for 4. Everything was delicious. I wasn't expecting a Michelin and James Beard award winning experience, but that is what we got. Everything was incredible. We had a beef stew, a fish dish, a pork shoulder, pork belly, deep fried chicken chicharrón, pork limpia and veggie lumpia, fried wings, and friend green beans. Everything was delicious. The flavors were mostly savory and tart though the wings has a sweet sauce to accompany it. The staff was fast bringing out food, but we had to flag someone down to get to-go boxes since most of the interaction was in the online POS system. I will definitely be back. read more

Oh my gosh, I've been dreaming of returning to this place since I visited! I've never delved into Filipino food much and trying out Kamayan has changed my perspective on the cuisine for the better. When we arrived (weekday lunch) with no reservation, the place was PACKED. The space is not very big and is quite cozy. They really use up every inch of the room. We waited for 45 minutes to be seated. The service was super fast. If you want takeout, it can be ordered at the counter. There's a little self-service sauce table and water close to the counter. The service was fast and the waiter knew the menu really well, giving us recommendations based on our preferences. We ordered the pork lumpia, lechon kawali, and beef kaldereta. Lumpia was crispy and flavorful and paired well with the tangy sauce. Lechon Kawali was a little dry but super crispy. The beef kaldereta is SO fatty and flavorful. It pairs well with rice and is so comforting to eat. I love it so much.... I've never had Filipino 'curry', but I want to come back just to have it again... and try the rest of their menu items. They don't have many options, which makes choosing easier. Prices are on the higher end, but given the popularity of the restaurant and the quality of the food and service, it can be justified. Highly recommend Kamayan... and to make a reservation before coming. read more

The quality of this place just gets better! I came here on a Sunday afternoon with no reservation. First time at their permanent location and we were seated quickly! I was worried that now that they have their Michelin recommended status it would be nearly impossible. Everything we got was amazing. The lechon I recommend as your must get. Then the sisig tacos are delectable. A good snack is the pork lumpia and the bbq skewers. Definitely come here when you're hungry. If you wanna get a drink, get the mango juice! It was quick service and a super cute atmosphere. Definitely go here! read more

My friends and I stumbled upon Kamayan on a Friday evening after dinner in the area so this review is for dessert only. The three of us arrived at around 7:45pm with no reservations, and although the restaurant was packed, we were greeted by a smiling server who quickly arranged two tables for us to dine in. A++ on service! First, the decor in here is phenomenal and you can tell no detail was missed. I love how everything has a cute aesthetic and I even commented to my girlfriends that even the table cleaning solution is cute. The restaurant was packed and every table was filled but the atmosphere was full of energy and the volume was not unbearable. Tables are close together and I noticed some patrons chatting with each other at nearby tables - overall, the environment is very fun and welcoming! Curious about a couple of appetizers, we ended up enjoying an odd combo of appetizers and dessert. We tried the pork lumpia (of course): 5 Filipino spring rolls filled with seasoned ground pork, served with sweet chili sauce. We also ordered the Baguio Beans: wok fried green beans seasoned with chilis and Philippine lime. Surprisingly, our appetizers came with a small bucket of rice. Y'all, the rice is DELICIOUS. Don't sleep on the rice. It's the fluffliest, aromatic, best rice I've ever had at a restaurant. If you walk away with anything from this review, make sure you get the rice. The lumpia is crispy and delicious but I personally did not care for the flavor of the filling although my girlfriends really enjoyed it. The green beans were delicious, cooked and flavored perfectly and 10/10 I would order this again. For dessert we ordered the Halo Halo Espesyal - this is a very, very fun dessert. It looks incredible! It's so creative and packed that it's a bit tough to eat - so definitely order this for the 'gram and for fun, but don't order it expecting it to be a delicious, life-changing culinary masterpiece. The only real criticism I have about Kamayan is their menu prices - there's a difference of prices on their printed menu, published menu online, and the prices you pay when you order on the app. I get that the restaurant is new, management is probably very busy and experimenting, but it's incredibly important to charge the prices that are advertised to customers. My example from the four items we ordered is the Baguio Beans ($5 online and printed, $7 when ordering at the table via the app as of 10/20/23). Fix this quickly, please! read more

Highly recommend to get reservations because it's always so busy! They definitely utilize their space to make it as efficient as possible & the food comes out relatively quickly as it becomes ready. You order on your phone through a QR code and pay in advance before the food comes out which is nice because you don't have to wait for a check at the end. Each of the entrees/plates are beautifully presented. Water and sauces are self serve. Dishes come with family style rice! We shared: - Sizzling Sisig ($19): Slow roasted pork belly, chopped cheek and snout with pâte served on a sizzling plate. One of my favorite Filipino dishes, the small pepper slices have a kick to them! - Grilled Prawns ($17): Grilled with chili and garlic oil. - Crispy Pata ($22): Deep fried pork hind leg. I really think the price is worth how much you get. This comes with pickled carrot side and a soy sauce/calamansi dip for the pork. So crispy. - Beef Bistek ($18): Braised Beef Slices marinated with Philippine lime and soy sauce. The sauce is hearty and pairs well over rice, very rich! - Chicharon Manok ($6): deep fried chicken skin, delicious and crispy. Recommend dipping it in their spicy vinegar! Overall, great experience and so delicious! read more

Wanting to try a new restaurant, Kamayan has been on my list since I saw them on a recent trip to get banh mis. My parents came down so it was a perfect time to show them Filipino food and all that it had to offer! I would recommend to either call ahead and place a reservation, or just come at an odd time. Getting here on a busy time you will wait. Inside, on a busy day, it's packed. I honestly think they need to have more space because of how popular it is. There's tables are very close together, their seats are overly large which I don't think is actually necessary at all, and it just feels pretty cramped. However, there's a reason why it's cramped. The food is good. It did however remind me of just a huge cookout. After being seated, you get a sense that this place has really embraced the digital age, considering COVID, and this place is pretty much all self serve other than the bringing out food. You pay for your order up front along with the tip which I feel like was a little bit odd and to be honest looking back at it is a weird way of prepaying for service. So if you tip better you may get better service? I don't understand that. If you want water, you get it yourself, if you want napkins same thing. Staff here are still nice though and will get it for you if you ask though. We got a variety of food though. Chicken Skewers, Pork Skewers, Lumpia, Sizzling Sisig, and the Crispy Pata were all the things we ordered and tried. Chicken Skewers - great finger food and was seasoned very well. Pork Skewers - same amount of seasoned taste as the chicken was. Lumpia - nothing exciting here, but on par with spring rolls. Sizzling Sisig - classic Filipino dish. Lots of flavor, it's sizzling and amazing with rice. (I mean most of all these dishes were great with rice) Crispy Pata - this dish fell flat for me. It seemed like there was absolutely no seasoning applied to the pork knuckle. It was as if they took the knuckle and just fried it. They sprinkled some garnished on top, but overall it was flavorless. They give you some soy sauce but at that point it's like you can make this at home. Also note that this is a whole knuckle with the bone included so if you don't like that I would skip it. Overall Kamayan is good. Only one dish that we ordered fell flat for me. I do want to come back and try out their fish dish, but that's for next time! I would recommend Kamayan to all those who want to get Filipino food or just try it out. read more

Love Kamayan ATL! Every dish on the menu brings back memories of my parents' cooking... and then the taste of the dishes that I ordered made it even better. In a few cases, they were even better than Mama's. Because the restaurant is small and in such high demand, I highly recommend making a reservation. The doors do not open until noon, and when they do, the rush is on (and you would too because of the excellence of the cuisine). If you've never had Filipino cuisine, please put Kamayan on your bucket list! read more

Such an authentic and fun restaurant! My friend came on her birthday and received a free ube flan cake and an amazing birthday song sung soulfully by Father John.

Best Filipino restaurant we've ever been to here in Georgia, I made reservation 1 week ahead so waiting time wasn't bad at all. I love their ordering process, there's a bar code that links you to the menu and ordering system as well. Food came out fast and they were all delicious!!! Small dining area but with plenty of tables, cute decor as well. Definitely not overhyped like the other Filipino restaurant we've been to recently. Will definitely comeback!!! read more

I love the atmosphere here! We went as a walk in after the Brookhaven Festival last Saturday. Didn't think to make a reservation - avoid that mistake and book ahead! We were lucky and they were able to squeeze us into a table after about 20 minutes but I know others had to wait longer. The food here is really delicious and beautiful to eat. The colors, atmosphere and flavors all come together to have a great dining experience. I wish they had even just a couple of cocktails on the menu; that would really top off the whole experience! (Though it would probably make the wait times longer!) read more

Food was extremely salty. The pork belly I had was so hard to chew, almost burnt. Service was pretty much nonexistent, you have to self serve everything.

Let me start off by saying this was hard for me to decide between a 5 and a 4 star rating, but as some of the food wasn't quite 5 star couldn't go that high overall. Came here on a Friday night and the place was busy but we were still seated quickly. The staff were super helpful in going over the menu, and we tried the spring rolls, chicken skewers and Pampano. The fish was excellent and came with some interesting pickled veggies as a side, the chicken skewers were nice, and the spring rolls were average. I also thought the prices were good. The vibe inside is casual with a little something tropical to it, so good for a chill evening. Definitely would recommend and plan to go back. read more

Simply Amazing!!! From service to delicious authentic filipino dishes. Always pack and the halo-halo is delish!

This restaurant closes from Mon-Wed, but on the days they are open it sure is packed! We visited twice so far, once during regular dinner service and the other on Sunday. Would recommend making a reservation on Resy if you can. The storefront is unassuming, but once you enter you'll be greeted with the dining room which has a beautiful tropical theme. Orders are taken by QR code. We got the chicken skin chicharrones to start both times. It was flavorful, but they did not give us the dipping sauce the second time so make sure to ask! Also, they don't have a liquor license but you can BYOB here. For mains we tried the beef kare kare, lechon kawali and crispy palabok. Off the Sunday brunch "silogs" I tried the Bisteksilog. The crispy palabok was delicious! I tend to avoid shrimp but the dish spoke to me! We tried the ube churros and the halo halo for dessert. Honestly they were just fine. The halo halo would have been easier to consume if they brought the cup on a plate or just put it on a bowl. read more

Excited that Atlanta finally got a Filipino restaurant! I grew up in Charleston with plenty of Filipino friends and experienced the food. The establishment isn't very big and was very loud with lots of chatter. We were seated against the wall with mine and most tables have this cute but very uncomfortable chair. You have to order your food with your phone from a QR code so you really don't get much table service. The food comes out pretty quickly. Over all my favorite was the pancit. read more

Quaint, eclectic, and warm dinning room. The space is small, however, they utilize the space very well. read more

Talk about willing to wait for good food! Located in one of the most asian strip malls/plaza in ATL, Kamayan has a reservation system that can barely keep up with the demand. Even after you arrive and check in, my party of four had to wait another hour since every other party had the same reservation time. The decor inside takes you to the beach of Filipine and everything smelled and tasted delicious. The lechon here is great, just remember folks, fat = flavor! Their sinigang is not too sour and perfectly palatable to my non-filipino tongue. This, in my humble opinion, is a must visit for everyone who comes to the ATL. read more
