Place had an open sign on but the door was locked and no one inside the restaurant. I was here during open hours listed.

I came here for a to go order for dinner. It’s very small I don’t know when to park so I parked at the taxi station next door (prob not a good idea). The shop is very small. Food was lukewarm. Flavor was ok. Service was alright. I probably won’t come back. I know there’s another location in Springfield. I might try to check that spot out because it has better reviews but I was disappointed at this location.

I do not understand these horrible reviews, absolutely unwarranted. I have been to the Philippines many times and the food here is AUTHENTIC! Maybe when other reviewers are saying the food isn't tasty it's because the food is not as salty here as it is in most Filipino food. For me, I think that's a plus because then I get to salt to my taste. However, the food had so much flavor of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, everything that is part of Filipino cooking. I gave the atmosphere only four stars, but the restaurant itself is totally authentic, it's small, no frills, just a few seats and with a soda fridge. You might as well have dropped me in the middle of Manila, and I loved it. The owner and chef is so sweet and patient as I tried to decide between all the dishes she had prepared. I was surprised how many offerings there were at 4 PM on a Saturday. I chose two pork dishes, adobo and unfortunately I forgot what the second one was. Both of them tasted so different and I loved that. The pork was really tender and the portions were extremely generous. Unfortunately, I missed the garlic rice. I am a huge fan of halo halo at first I was a little put off at how much it cost, $13, and then it was served up and I understood why. It was huge! On top of the size, so many of the ingredients were obviously made in house and aren't the usual suspects in halo-halo, like fresh plantains that were simmered in some kind of yumminess to make them soft. They were still warm, but not hot enough to melt the ice. The sweet potato was also warm and soft and perfect. There were so many different variations of ube in the halo-halo as well. I loved this restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: slightly elevated threshold, but easy to get over. There is a sidewalk and easy entry, the door isn't too heavy. I didn't ask to use the bathroom.

Authentic and tasty. If you're on a special diet be careful but you can still find some dietary foods. Luckily, I eat a lot of meat and non-starchy veggies on my diet, which you can find on the menu. Last time here we had chicken adobo and a pork dish. Both were delicious. We had bitter melon, too, which I find very good. I also strayed off my diet for some lumpia, which was really yummy. I highly recommend Kamayan Fiesta if you're looking for authentic Filipino cuisine and the people are very friendly as you would expect!

The pancit and the lumpia and tocino were really good. The food is like buffet sitting out and they make your plates for you.

The food is good. But they give you to much rice for a little bit of meat. Why they can put meat over top of the rice in a bowl.

Arrived at 6:27 PM as google’s business hours listed they were open until 8 pm. Drive 25 minutes from Alexandria specifically to try their halo halo, only to enter into the physically open restaurant and be told by the employee they were in fact closed. The neon sign on the side of the restaurant literally still was on, and the door physically opened. Pretty annoyed to have come out of my way, to find it was closed. The employee also showed no empathy which drove me to leave this review.If you plan to come here, within their business hours, might be best to call to confirm first.

This was a friendly place that had a lot of variety at their walk-up counter service. We ate in the restaurant. The inside is small but there is also outdoor seating. The taste of the food was authentic and delicious. My husband ordered their specialty Halo-halo. We even took food to go.
Wonderful service at reasonable prices and serving sizes.

Pretty good. Maybe this changed but at the time we went it was hard to know what was on menu until you got there. Food is good but recommend going early otherwise it sits around as it is cafeteria style where you choose feom what is displayed

This review is for the Biko (sweet sticky rice) in the fridge where they put their soft drinks and water. I bought the biko on Friday (4/21) and didn't eat it till the next day (4/22). It was raining, thunder, and lightning, and we lost power at the hotel from the storm. What a better way to stay in and watch Netflix and eat my biko. As I keep eating the biko, I looked down at the food I'm eating and stared at it. The little crumble in the biko was mixed in with molds. Literally, MOLDS. It was so disgusting that I forced myself to throw up ! I was cursing like crazy. The next day, I walked to the restaurant, and told them of the biko they sold to me. They were very nice about it. They offered me another biko. I asked her, "how long has it been in the fridge?" She said 6 days. There's the problem! 6 days!!!! This is not a fridge where you can store food for days. And especially for 6 days. The biko that I've had, probably been there longer than that. This fridge is used for drinks. That's not enough temperature to keep the food fresh for days. They offered me another dessert and I asked her how long again. She said 1 day. I believed her, because it was not there on Friday. It was only biko. So, I took it. Just before I stepped out of the door. She said I should have brought the cake back on the same day I bought it. I didn't know it was moldy till I ate it the next day. That was very disappointing! It doesn't matter if I came back or not, your food has been in the fridge for days, and you didn't bother to look at it, and you're still selling moldy products. This is the problem with some Filipino restaurants, I've seen these type of storing food in their beverage fridge. I don't know anything about food industry, but I think this counts as food and safety violation. Look in the photo attached to this review. That's the moldy food I ate. Nasty!!! You can't make this up Gross!

Food selection was decent and the ones we chose were pretty good. It's a very small corner spot which seems to cater more for takeouts rather than dining in. The place looked clean with a few tables and counter space inside. There are more tables and seating outside with picnic tables and benches.

I think this place, though some difficulty with where situated that may impact interactions, is very very good. The owner cooks well and is really she is very friendly, is just at at intersection that is so busy and does not go too well with the easygoing setup indoors, and the good islander food she has to provide.
