Kawayan serves delicious, authentic Filipino food at reasonable prices. The homemade dishes, made by the owner and chef in the kitchen, are highly praised, including the pancit bihon, bangus, chicken adobo, garlic fried rice, and lumpia Shanghai. The restaurant offers a clean, self-service atmosphere with friendly and attentive staff. Recommended dishes include Kare-Kare, Lechon Kawali, Pancit Bihon combo, Crispy Pata, batchoy, and seafood bicol express.
The chef cures tocino in-house using a family recipe that goes back decades. Meats are cooked to perfection—crispy and crunchy or tender and juicy. Vegetables are prepared just right, not soggy or overcooked. Seasoning is carefully balanced, with dishes like bicol express packing a flavorful kick. The batchoy meats are cooked over 24 hours for amazing flavor, and the pancit bihon has its own wonderful taste. Portions are generous, and the decor is inviting and joyful.
The place is immaculate, though it gets busy on weekends. Service is quick, and the staff is patient, explaining each dish on the menu. New ownership ensures every dish tastes as it should, with fresh ingredients and rich, complex flavors. A must-try for anyone craving authentic Filipino comfort food.
