Fried hard enough to get the edges crisp but not dried out, sour and garlicky from the marinade, and worth the work of picking around the bones. I ate it the way I was taught, with rice and a little vinegar on the side. The adobo had a good sauce that wasn't oversalted, which is where a lot of places lose me, and it was tender enough to come apart with a spoon. The lumpia were thin and rolled tight, not greasy. Both my parents have passed, and I haven't had food that tasted like theirs in a long time. This came close. Thank you.

From the moment we arrived, the staff was AMAZING -- welcoming, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about both Filipino cuisine and the dishes they were serving. They took the time to explain the flavors and ingredients, made great recommendations, and were attentive throughout the entire dinner. But what really made the experience special was seeing one of the owners personally visit EVERY table. She took the time to greet her guests, talk about the food, and genuinely connect with the people dining at Kaya. When she reached our table, we discovered that we had both lived in the same area of San Diego -- which definitely left me missing home a little. And then there's the FOOD! The chef's combination of flavors was creative and beautifully executed -- familiar Filipino comfort food with a fresh, elevated approach. From the pandesal, to the tuna adobo, to the halo-halo... every dish felt both elevated and familiar. That's what I loved most about Kaya: it's creative without losing the heart and soul of Filipino food. Highly recommend grabbing a few friends and settling in for a leisurely, family-style dinner where you can share, try a little bit of everything, and take your time. We absolutely can't wait to go back!

We started with the Lumpiang Shanghai with hibiscus sweet chili sauce AMAZING! The sauce was such a delicious twist. For our entrées, we tried the Iberico Bicol Express with garlic fried rice, which was soooo yummy, and the rigatoni with Spam and banana ketchup. The rigatoni was absolutely TO DIE FOR! Such a fun and unexpected combination that worked so well. And of course, dessert! We had the ube mochi donuts and Basque cheesecake, which were both such a sweet ending to an incredible meal. If you're looking for somewhere to try during Magical Dining, definitely add Kaya to your list! Great food, amazing hospitality, and such a unique experience. We'll absolutely be back!

From the outside due to the business if front, if do not pay close attention you may miss it. When walking in, the first thing that hit me was the beautiful flower wall, which aesthetically pleasing. It does look like they are still under some work or getting set back up as the front area which I assume would contain some of their bakery items was empty. I browsed over the menu and went with the chicken adobo rice with a veggie lumpia, and halo halo! One of their mottos that is painted on the kitchen door is, they are not a fast food spot as their food is made to order. The inside was clean as I patiently waited for my meal to be made. I live about 15-20 mins away from this place, so as soon as I arrived home my halo halo went into the freezer and I went to indulge in the lumpia first. Lumpias are very similar to egg rolls and it wasn't bad but nothing special. The chicken adobo rice was very seasoned, savory, and fresh. I believe it was chicken thighs but the pieces of meat were large in size and the sauce that it was cooked in was so addicting. I literally took large bites of the rice, chicken, and steamed broccoli and was very satisfied. Saving the best for last - halo halo. If you have never had it - order it. It's made up of crushed ice, milk, sweet beans, ube ice cream, and it's all layered. First off, I never thought sweet kidney beans would complement a dessert/treat but wow I was bought in. It was rich, but not overly sweet - definitely great for summertime. I see myself just coming here to grab this for my summertime treat - especially after I added in some mango I had cut up. For my first Filipino experience, I would say this is a great hidden gem in Newberry. There's not a lot of local Filipino spots in the Gainesville area and so happy I did not have to drive to Jax or Orlando for it.

Spent the day in Newberry, FL for the Spring Sunflower Festival at Bryer Patch Farms…read more After a few hours of walking the farm and picking some beautiful sunflowers and wildflowers, we headed over to Filipino Flavors for a late lunch. I have a rule anytime we go to a new city: If there's a Filipino restaurant in the area, I'm going to try it. Filipino Flavors is great! It's a bit of a limited menu for lunch, but what we got was great! We started with some veggie lumpia. These were hot and crispy. The fillings seemed to be just shredded cabbage and carrots, so the Thai chili sauce lends a helping hand with the flavor. The star of the show was the pork sisig. Delicious salty diced pork tossed with peppers and a tasty marinade and topped with a perfect sunny side up egg and a mayo sauce. This was fantastic and would order again and again. If you find yourself in the tiny town of Newberry, definitely check Filipino Flavors.

Like other ice cream places, they let you try a sample of each of their ice cream flavors. They also have some pastries and merch at the front for purchase. There are also some pints of ice cream for purchase. I once asked if they had a buko pandan pint available, but they didn't in the freezer.
