“Customer Service & food was amazing!!“

“good food and good service“

“Could not have enjoyed my meal at Feld more. It is an incredible experience rooted in relationships with producers and hyper seasonality. The menu changes so often that going back another time will provide you with an entirely different menu. The team is lovely, Chef is super kind and all tables directly surround the kitchen — so the ambiance is excellent. And, yes, the food was simple and delicious. I highly recommend you go try it for yourself and enjoy this unique, fun and delicious experience. Ignore the handful of mean-spirited and, frankly, unethical reviews floating around out there from a crusty, bitter old writer and a popular publication that are attempting to leverage Chef’s TikTok fame as clickbait to gain paid subscribers. The place is just a few weeks old, and we should all be giving an exciting, young, independent restaurant helmed by a young, local chef a chance to get its feet underneath it.“

“Happened to be in neighborhood. Never had Filipino cuisine. Ate the Bami bowl and thought it was solid!“

“I recently dined at Kawayan Filipino Restaurant and had an excellent experience. I initially ordered the Lechon Kawali, but the chef recommended trying the Crispy Binagoongan instead. It turned out to be a fantastic suggestion! The dish was incredibly delicious, with the perfect blend of flavors and textures. The pork was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, complemented by the rich, savory sauce. The service was outstanding, and the chef’s recommendation made my visit even more memorable. I highly recommend Kawayan Filipino Restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy authentic and delectable Filipino cuisine.“

“Great Food cozy place Food was delicious“

“I’d like to thank all the wonderful staff, especially our server Pete for the exceptional service we received today. You’re the best!!! We enjoyed the great food, the fast service and the friendly atmosphere. The place is very neat and clean. Thanks again for making our dining experience extra special!“

“The Batchoy (hope I spelled it correctly) was extremely delicious. My wife is from Iloilo and we looked all over town for it and she says it is very similar to what she has in the Phillipines. I had it and it tasted really good. I also had the chicken (Paav I think) and garlic rice and was delicious. Will definitely be back for sure.“

“I stopped in to try a Ube chai tea, and it was delicious. I also enjoyed the spam slider and the longaniza slider. Both of them were delicious. Service was quick. I will definitely be back to try a breakfast bowl, the poutine, and the lumpia.“

“They have the best service and great product and everything you will need.“

“My wife and I met up with some of her former Filipino school mates for a relaxing evening of food, conversation and of course Karaoke! It would not be a Filipino gathering without the authentic Filipino food and Karaoke. Overall the food appeared to be authentic, well made, served hot and of sufficient quantity for the price (check out the photos). The restaurant is not any fancy - but this is what I have come to expect at Filipino restaurants in the USA. Service was great and the food kept coming until we could no longer eat. If you are interested in getting some authentic Filipino quinine or you are a Filipino wanting some great dishes - you will not be disappointed. I would recommend you stop in and have some of their specialties.“

“Excellent service, orders arrived quickly, our service was prompt and attentive.“

“The pastries are baked from the shop and taste so fresh and delicious! We will definitely be coming back to Often! everyone is very nice. Cheese bread, bonete and the embotido so MASARAP!“

“This restaurant is one of the best Filipino restaurants in the northern suburb of chicago. The food is always fresh and authentic. Only, the restaurant is soooo small. You feel like the staff is on top of you - staring at you. We mostly do take-out from this restaurant, but even with take-out, food is always good.“

“good food and good service“

“The puto is amazing at Ima’s! It’s spongy, moist, and subtly sweet. Perfect! I purchased the plain, ube, and pandan and my family was very happy.I spoke whom I believe was the owner and he was very knowledgeable about dietary allergies (gluten-free, dairy-free, nuts). He also explained they make their own rice flour in-house by grinding their own rice. Amazing!They also have a hot bar of food and frozen desserts.Everything is to-go. No dine-in.“

“best filapino restaurant. in area“

“This is a cozy little mom and pop place that resembles one of the many little family-owned homemade food and sundry stores found throughout the Philippine archipelago. It is very quaint, dimly-lit, homey, and I love it because of that. Upon entering, you can find some frozen goods, then the register, and a short, narrow hallway with canned goods, condiments, snacks, and ingredients on the right. And their freshly made dishes behind a glass counter with heating elements on the left. Their food is delicious and tastes very much like any and all genuinely homemade cooking prepared with skillful hands that know reverence, community, and sincerity, which defines all of Philippine cousine, regardless of region. This place may not be for all, but it does attract those who recognize the familiar feeling of being in a family member's kitchen that loves to cook and the nostalgia that comes with it. Their eggrolls and vegetable lumpia are very delicious, as is their fried bangus (milk fish), dinuguan (stewed pork), and lechón. I included a few pictures of those in conjunction with some of my family's own homemade Filipino dishes, as I find that what we don't make but can find here at Max is an excellent compliment to what we do make on our own. Again, this is an excellent, quaint, hole-in-the-wall place to grab a bite to eat and acquire some groceries. And if you're seeking the familiarity of a delicious, home-cooked meal made with love by a family member that enjoys cooking, then head on over and check them out.

Vegetarian options: Filipino cousine is not really known for their vegetarian dishes, but you can try their vegetable lumpia (eggrolls).

Dietary restrictions: If you have high cholesterol and hypertension, then I would recommend you eat certain Filipino foods very sparingly. There's also not many gluten-free options.

Parking: There's a free parking lot out front with ample parking, as Max is in a little strip mall and shares a space with other stores and restaurants.

Kid-friendliness: There's a bunch of sweet snacks that I'm sure kids would love.

Wheelchair accessibility: This is tricky. There's a bit of a tight turn upon entering, and as the shop is quaint and narrow, there is not much elbow room for patrons when it's packed, let alone an assisted mobile device.“

“Wonderful place,great food, I was stuffed, will absolutely positively go back.“
