Kabayan Foods - Union City

I can 't even describe how the food tastes. Went all over Union City trying to find one that 's open. Found this place and the guy working in the back told us that he can 't help us because the cashier left. We asked when the cashier will be back and he said he doesn 't know . Then we asked if we can still place an order and in a rude voice he says sorry and walks back to the back. Smh.

The portions of the meals here are a complete rip off. For the k6 meal I believe it’s a small drumstick and two scoops of rice with 3 very thin very small pieces of those lunpia things for like 17 dollars smh total. The picture of the food on their menu is not what you actually get when you buy it. It’s misleading the paying customers

Kabayan Kusina opened where Kapok 's was. Similar decor with a flatscreen added at front right corner. Inside dining only . Some orders are to go.Drill: order at counter, picked up food 10 minutes later. Offerings: breakfast, burritos, sides, appetizers, pork, seafood, noodles. Soups...Eats: Menudo charged 18, listed @15.50 unlike Mexican version, pork meat, not tripe. pork stew from braised pork meat in tomato sauce with raisins, carrots, green peppers, sugar, onions, garlic, bay leaves. tasted overly sweet, pork was semi chewy, not tenderObviously reheated, not made from scratch. 3ish stars for lackluster quality, overcharging . Doubtful repeat. October is Filipino American Heritage Month.

I came across this place by being in Union City around 4pm and my gf been wanting pancit bihon for weeks. Knowing that there probably wouldn 't be a restaurant who could match my aunt 's, it couldn 't hurt to see if this place came close. I ended up ordering:Pancit BihonChicken AdoboPork Sinigang (my personal favorite Filipino dish in general)The TL;DR:I would order all of these items again. I wouldn 't say this place is driving 25-30 mins worthy but I 'd eat here again. I definitely would want to come around breakfast to try their silog options. The pancit was pretty good. It had Chinese sausage and fried garlic on top. The noodles were well cooked and the portion was worth the price too. It 's not comparable to my aunt 's, my gf agreed too and that 's very biased but had to put that in there. It was missing that (I don 't really use this word seriously) umami. Chicken adobo: it was very rich in flavor and by that I mean oil, but that 's how you know it 's a real order of adobo. There was a good portion of meat and it had that familiar adobo taste. Pork Sinigang: It tasted like pork Sinigang and the pork chunks had a good amount of fat on them, the best part. It was packed with veggies like onions, okra, tomatoes, eggplant and (I think)mustard greens. I have to note that the peppercorns were oddly large but maybe they just weren 't black pepper corns.

I can hardly put into words how the food tastes. I searched all over Union City for an open restaurant and finally found this one. However, when we arrived, the person working in the back informed us that he couldn't assist us because the cashier had left. When we inquired about when the cashier might return, he said he didn't know. We then asked if we could still place an order, but in a rude tone, he simply said sorry and walked away. It's just disappointing.
