I waited in line for over 30 minutes and carefully observed the menu which included Facebook, instagram, and other online shopping. (NO MENTION OF CASH ONLY ANYWHERE) when I did make it to the front I wanted to be sure my card would be accepted, so I asked. The response I got was a laugh and "cash only" and then "NEXT". So to recap I spent over a half an hour in line for absolutely nothing and was rudely disappointed. A VERY SIMPLE SIGN could have alleviated this situation/problem but apparently that just too much to ask for when looking over a menu that can tell you all about their online presence but NOT what forms of payment they accept. One star, but really NONE. I feel like this establishment owes me a portion of my life back. Negative 1 star Ginger Love. You owe me one...

Awesome place for delicious Filipino food! I drove here with three other friends, and we…read moreimmediately were greeted by the friendly and homey atmosphere of the restaurant. This place is unique--it's a catering business, but it sells plates of food, sort of buffet-style, for $6.50. I love how family oriented the business is, and we could read all their stories on the wall. In addition to the comfort of the atmosphere, the food was great too! You can pick either rice or noodles, and you can choose up to two main dishes of their many options. They cook chicken curry, chicken adobo, pork belly, meatballs, and more. All options smell so delicious, but I went with the chicken curry, chicken adobo, and rice. The plate is extremely cheap for what you get! The portions are large and filling, and it's a great experience to be eating there. There are not a lot of places to eat Filipino in Upstate NY, so I'd take advantage of this great opportunity to eat some delicious food! Overall, this is a unique, cute restaurant. It's a catering and choose-your-own-dish restaurant, and it's great to bring friends. Food is cheap, quality, and delicious! Will definitely be here again if in the area!

Amazing experience here with the kamayan feast that was prepared with love by Chef Champ!…read more When we arrived, the table was all set. Chef Champ greeted us and learned each guest's name and showed us how to properly grab the food for kamayan. We were encouraged to grab a drink from the fridge, and I had the calamansi. We feasted on chicken lumpia with Thai chili sauce, lechon with garlic vinegar, chicken inasal, sweet and sour snapper with rice, 3 types of sauces and fruit. And as a dessert, we had beautifully prepared halo halo. After the meal, Chef Champ explained the hand painted wall and the inspiration for the design. This was such a wonderful and cozy experience. I wish I lived closer to Troy so I could go back again!

The only Filipino storefront in the capital region. I'm Filipino so I had to come for some halo…read morehalo 100% recommend Anything you get would be good Lumpia (Filipino fried egg rolls), lechon kawali (crispy pork belly), any of the silog dishes (breakfast anytime dishes), adobo, menudo are good introductory things to start with if new to Filipino food. Menu changes so keep an eye out. If owner is reading this, please add fresh lumpia to the menu once in a blue moon (because that's something I've refused to try cooking at home it's too many components). For anyone wondering what that is it's a savory crepe with cooked vegetables with a sweet and salty sauce and it's so good. Halo halo was good. Reminded me of the days when my parents would buy halo halo from the Filipino storefronts on summer weekends in southern California where i grew up. I got 2, 1 for me and 1 for my fiance. It seemed as though 2 different people made our halo halos because his had coconut, mine didn't and his had a garlic aftertaste like when you cut a fruit on a cutting board after cutting garlic on a cutting board since garlic is strong. Service was so fast. It's all preorder so i ordered the day before, got a text ~15 min before my pick up time that it was ready and picked it up. It's a small place, cute and cozy for a fast meal or for takeout. We know where we'll get our halo halo fix. That and fresh lumpia are the things i eye on the weekly preorder menu

I'm not in the habit of driving within 25 yards of Neil's Donuts when I know they're closed. But…read moreif I do, it's because I was craving lumpia or other Filipino food from Kayumangi Authentic Filipino ("KAF"). KAF is a small Filipino Market, that serves a number of prepared Filipino foods cafeteria style, and they also have a kitchen for preparing some additional menu items. I hadn't visited since before the Pandemic, but I felt KAF's lumpia calling me this week. I arrived around 5:30 and I was the only customer at that time. The cafe part of the business is in the back. There are a few tables for dining in. The atmosphere is decent, but not a selling point since the Market's merchandise is in view. Service is a hybrid model. I've always ordered at the cash register. For food that's ready, they just plate it and bring it to you. If you order from the menu, they prepare it and bring it to you. However, it's not the type of place where they bring you a glass of water and occasionally refill it. It's more like you're eating at Chipotle, except they bring your food to you. I ordered lumpia and Menudo. If you haven't had lumpia, they look similar to fried spring rolls. KAF's are filled with what seems like a cooked pork and veggie mixture that is mostly meat. It's crispy and tasty. KAF's Menudo is a stew of pork chunks, liver, potatoes, carrots, peas, etc. It tastes like a dish you might get at a Filipino friend's house. The meat and veggies were tender and the sauce was mild and savory. When I score a place like Kayumangi, I don't compare it to sit down restaurants. I compare it to other small food markets that happen to serve food. Another thing in Kayumangi's favor is that I'm not aware of other Filipino options in the nearby areas. With those caveats, I give Kayumangi 4 Stars and I will return when the mood strikes me.
