All Filipino food here taste good! Typical turo turo (means point what food you want) in Queens!
Location: It is located in Woodside. It is mainly a grocery store but at the side they sell ready to eat meals!
Service: you have to point what you want and they will wrap it and you pay in the cashier. They are nice as well.
Food: Everything is good here but my favorites are: SISIG: this is the best! So tangy and mild spicy. The pork is well cooked and seasoned. PORK BBQ: it is on a stick, the meat is tender and charred to goodness. DINUGUAN: pork blood and pork! It is soo good, you will get more rice! OKOY: shrimp and sweet potato combined and fried. CALDERETA: the sauce is the best, the beef is tender. ADOBO: afcourse this is staple filipino food, the saltiness of the soy sauce combined with the pork or chicken makes you want to get more rice. GINATAANG LANGKA: this is seasonal, but if I see it I get it, its langka cooked in coconut milk with chili and shrimp!
Price rating: 8/10, thats the only thing, they rise their prize a lot.
Definitely will come back here because I love Filipino food! Get the sisig!!
Homely, authentic vibes. Food is prepared rustic style and nails on flavors and texture. Meats are stewed to decadent softness, soups are rich, and veggie patties are fried to a golden crisp. One visit is not enough.
I loved this place for a number of years. Pre-Covid Kabayan used to seat about 20 or so reasonably comfortably(Seating kind of like an old style converted home kitchen). You would select from the available Philippine specialties then carry it to table. Maybe not Fifth Avenue style, but charming and fun none the less. The food was great and reasonably priced. I forget the actual cost, but I think that it was around 5 or 6 bucks for a meal of a main, rice, and a soda. The lines were long but worth the wait. As much as I still enjoy some of the specialties, some that we used to love are no longer in the mix... Before I start singing, "The way we used to be", I'll sum it up. The food is still good, the prices are higher, and the "someone's kitchen vibe is gone". I still would recommend Kabayan as a darn good Philippine takeout place.
