Taste Of Kawayan — Restaurant in Jefferson Township

Ambience and atmosphere was very welcoming. The server was very knowledgeable and courteous, presented top items and knew the menu like the back of his hand. I admit the food did take some time to come out, but considering the fact that they have the owner himself as the sole cook for everyone, it was presented in timely manner. I ordered the beef kare-kare, the top 5 best seller, but it is one of my favorite filipino dishes, so I wanted to taste it for myself. A large order of garlic rice, and their bihon combo. The kare-kare came with tender veggies, and melt in your mouth pieces of beef, it was truly sublime. The peanut butter taste was epic, and paired with the shrimp paste (bago-ong) raised the flavor another tier. The garlic rice was littered with friend garlic, and it was insanely addicting and delicious. This paired with the kare-kare had me salivating, and to finally taste it was a good ending for the night, from my trip in Edmonton, Alberta. The bihon combo was also very flavorful, filled with crunchy veggies, and large pieces of shrimp and pork, spritzed with a lemon slice and it was quite epic. The overall experience was great, from the servers, the service and the food. Definitely will recommend, and will keep coming back for more. Next up will be their...

This place is very friendly and welcoming. All of their staff here is attentive and caring. They will accommodate you the whole time you are in their place. They will get your orders properly and even talk to you in very professional way. They are so nice and decent. Extraordinary environment and outstanding service is the best asset of this place. Their menu is big, they have so huge selection of food, and everything is made to perfection. All of the food here is yummy, tasty, delicious, and exceptional. I highly recommend to try their Pork Adobo, Crispy Pata, Beef Nilaga, Fried rice, and also their best seller Halo-halo. All of it is so affordable and has a fair price. You can literally order and try everything you want without breaking your pockets. Filipino food is cheaper than other food and also it is so delicious. You will absolutely love the whole place of Kawayan. It is so relaxing and feels like home. You can literally feel the Filipino cuisine. Worth trying! I will definitely visit here again soon when I am nearby. Thank you Kawayan! Your place is the best Filipino restaurant I have ever been...

We were in the area to see Yves on tour at the Copernicus Center, and we’re so glad to have found this spot to energize us before the show!

The atmosphere was nice and charming, and the lady who greeted and sat us was super accommodating. We were also served by the owner’s son who sold us on some pretty tasty-sounding dishes we’ll have to try next time, as well as the place being BYOB and them having future karaoke nights.

As for the food, we were very impressed! Every bite was a flavor-bomb that kept on giving. We LOVED the lumpia shanghai with a garlic-y twist, and the sisig paired with garlic rice were my personal favorites. If we had more time and a bigger stomach, we would’ve ordered the whole menu, so major kudos to the owner/chef!

Overall, the new management did a stellar job in making our experience one to remember! Thank you for the excellent service, and we’re excited to come back and try some of the other dishes, especially the breakfast and...
