“ So glad we finally came to try this Filipino joint! I haven't had a lot of Filipino food, only ones I have tried were in the city. Compared to the city Filipino restaurants, I have to say I felt the authenticity in the food at Kabayan Grill. Their food tasted more homey, less salty and less greasy as compared to the other Filipino food I've had. Both my sons really liked the food kept saying "mommy the food is so good!" My husband was craving soup and the bulalo soup hit the spot. It was delicious, hearty, meaty, loaded with vegetables, just everything you can ask for in the perfect soup. The only complaint I have is the place is kind of cold. It's more of a take out place with 5-6 tables/booths so they're probably not heated as thoroughly to accommodate sit down customers. ”

“ I stop by here every time I'm in the area. Working on Front St today I had to stop in for potty usage & of course a quick bite. This is the perfect example of looks are deceiving. Unassuming spot, I'm sure most pass by not knowing what deliciousness lies inside. The food I have gotten here is always delicious & the service is kind & patient. This last visit I got the Adobo Chicken with a side of rice & 1 sausage. After asking what 10 other dishes were. Hahaha! Still my favorites are the Pork Sisig & Lumpia Shanghai but their Chicken Adobo might be edging both out. Stop in. Good food & great variety. 12-2-2024 ”

“ This time I just went for the Halo Halo, which is a Filipino shaved ice with flan pieces, adzuki beans, ube, ice cream, and evaporated milk. It was yummy. When I've been there before, I ordered a whole bunch of different food, and all was really good. The service is great. The staff is very helpful and answered my many questions as I did not know what half the stuff was. The ambiance is like a small cafeteria. You go up and tell them what you want based on what's behind the glass counter. There's also some pantry type items surrounding the few tables they have. ”

“ So nice to have some filipino food out on the island instead of having to travel into woodside queens. The quantity and quality of food was decent. The pork from the sinigang could have been less fatty but not the end of the world. The grilled pork was delicious especially paired with the vinegar. The ice cream from the halo halo came a bit melted but still a good portion. It really hit the spot. there are a couple of tables to sit but the place is very small. It was nice that they were open for early dinner on Sunday. It seems like they have a bunch of food ready to go like a buffet at the counter and a mix of a grocery store with snacks and dessert. ”

“ What a delicious and cozy spot! I was recommended this spot while I was in the area and this is definitely going into my saved collections for Long Island! There were so many foods I wanted to try but ultimately went with the Bulalo and barbecue pork belly skewers. I did end up buying some pandan to take home as well and I wish I had bought more. The Bulalo came in this huge pot with a giant bone marrow in it and even with 2 people, we could not finish it all. Best part was that it was only $25 for such a large portion. The broth was amazing and there was so much marrow. Usually, most restaurants don't give much marrow but this place was very generous with it. The next time I come here, I definitely want to try their other dishes and take some more of their baked goods home! ”

“ Just another pancit take out dinner. Price is definitely affordable. People are friendly and interested in their customers. The place is clean and cozy with a true Filipino hospitality. I'm a regular customer here. ”
