Great new spot in Woodbridge for delicious Filipino food! They are currently in soft opening. They have an extensive breakfast and lunch/dinner menu, including desserts and drinks. We tried the Steak and Eggs Salpicao and the classics Pork Belly Adobo. Both dishes were accompanied with a fresh salad and rice (or fries are available for the salpicao). The service here was friendly and attentive.
I had a wonderful dining experience at Ylaya Filipino Cuisine! The food was flavorful and felt very authentic—especially the tender adobo with rice and the fresh side salad. The lumpia was crispy and perfectly paired with the sweet chili sauce. The portions were generous, and everything tasted homemade. The staff were kind and attentive, making the meal even more enjoyable. It really feels like a little taste of home. Highly recommend this spot if you’re craving delicious Filipino comfort food!
Exceptional good food and the ambiance is great. The lumpia was perfectly rich with flavor, and the Crispy Pata was cooked to perfection with a crispy skin and a tender interior. We will definitely be returning to explore more of their creative menu. A top-notch experience all around. “ANG SARAP”.
i never leave reviews, but this restaurant is AMAZING!! my husband and i went on their opening day for lunch. the restaurant was so clean and welcoming, the staff was super friendly, and the food was great! when we first went, we ordered the pork lumpia, pork belly adobo and the chicken adobo, 10/10. we loved it it so much that we ordered it again for dinner, AND we came back the next day to try their breakfast. we had the steak & eggs salpicao, 1000/10!!!! already recommended to all my coworkers and friends, and definitely coming back!
The owner of our favorite Filipino takeout Plain & Simpol told us about their new restaurant Ylaya so we had to try it during their soft opening. Started with the mango salad followed by the beef oxtail kare-kare entree and finished with the turon and ice cream. Fancy presentation and a bit pricy but delish! Service was a little slow but should get better as they get to their grand opening.
