Kamayan ATL - Filipino Restaurant

We came with people of various dietary restrictions, and everyone was accommodated. The greatly enjoyed the cuisine and will be back. The chicken wings, ginataang talong (eggplant), vegan kare kare, and bistek baryo were the favorites. My husband loved the bistek so much, he ordered another serving. The shrimp was cooked well and had a great flavor, but the seemed impossible to eat with the full shell on. You can't go wrong with the lumpias. The only thing we didn't like was the fried pork, which was mostly a texture issue due to being chewy. There are many more things we'd like to try on the menu.

Went here for lunch with on a Saturday with a friend. It is highly recommended to make a reservation before going as when we walked in, there was a queue of people before us with a 45 minute wait time. The wait however was worth it as quality of food was excellent. They offered classic Filipino dishes like Laing and Dinuguan while also some interesting spins like Pork Sisig tacos. Service was good and I have to give them props with how they were able to work through the rush. Overall, an excellent addition to the culinary scene on Buford Highway.

It was our first time trying Filipino food. It gets super packed on weekends, so I would recommend doing reservations. We got the green beans, shrimp rolls, garlic prawns, pork leg, adobo chicken, and most of the ube desserts. We enjoyed the green beans and adobo chicken. The flavors were unique on both dishes. The other dishes were fine, but nothing really stood out. The ube charros were amazing, definitely get those. The service was ok, we had to keep asking for everything: silverware, plates, napkins, water.

Had been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got to for a girls’ dinner! Our service was great and most of the food was enjoyed. The restaurant was pretty cramped and warm, but it wasn’t a big deal. - Wok Fried Green Beans: 5/5 (crispy and flavorful) - Pork Lumpia: 5/5 (yum) - Chickarrones: 4/5 (tasty snack, though some were burnt) - Sizzling Sisig: 4.5/5 (great flavor, just greasy) - Crispy Palabok: 3/5 (didn’t feel like enough sauce was provided and expected more flavor in the sauce)

Drove close to 2 hours to specifically try their desserts. However we did get a few of their plates among other things...jalapeno cheese lumpia, veggie lumpia, chicken adobo, bistek baryo, pancit bihon/canton mix. Everything was served quick and hot. It was all delicious and so flavorful. Bistek baryo was our favorite and the lumpias with the vinegar were fantastic. We tried all the desserts except halo halo (due to wanting to try all the other ube Desserts) all of them were delicious. All are a must try. It is a bit tight in space inside but over all service and the ambience were welcoming, respectful and kind. Very glad we came out and enjoyed it all.
