Tambayan Restaurant — Restaurant in Portland

The waiter was dressed less than casual (poorly) the service I rate as unfriendly because of the male server is not smiling, he looked stressed with his ball cap pulled down hiding most of his eyes, so any eye contact from him made me feel suspicious or just uncomfortable. There is no music just loud fans blowing room temperature air around. The place has some clutter and some sort of artwork on the walls I found to be unmemorable. The Lumpia there is not traditionally prepared it was some sort of vegetable roll. To me it taste awful, I can actually make better Lumpia with my handheld blender. The food presentation I found interesting because of the blend of colors on my plate. I ordered a simple plate and I was surprised it taste good. The soy sauce is not labeled and I ended up ruining my noodles because I put yucky fish sauce in it. I brought it to the attention of the owner and she laughed. I felt stupid I should have known it was fishy sauce if I had only used my nose. Lol. No employees there inquired about my dining experience so I paid and left there hungry because I couldn't down my food. Oh and I did not get a receipt, I figured that is expected from a place like that. To me it's just more money I toss around trying to patronize the small startups. Because of my poor experience I will never go there again. I love Philippine food and I know for sure there are other Filipino food places in the metro area that will give you a better reception and overall...

I went to eat here with my family and was very disappointed. Not only was the food terrible it was very expensive. The Pansit bihon we ordered was not Pasit bihon, but Su tanghon. The pinakbit was served in a tiny bowl, which I thought was crazy since the price was 12.00 dollars. The bistik was hard like beef jerky imbibed with soy sauce. It was so salty that my husband actually had a bad headache after eating it. The lechon kawali, was limber and very fatty!!!!. The chicken combo looked sick and had fried eggs on top of the chicken, which I have never seen in any Filipino restaurant here in America nor any restaurant I have been to in the Philippines, lastly the Sinigang was cold and it was not even cooked with the right kind of beef. I will not recommend this restaurant to anybody. Stay away...

When their last week spent 150.00 for 2 people..and 1 tack out ..look at my bill we got charged 25. Dollars service charge .the waters seekly put it on ower bill handed the key pad to my friend on the tip screen for a 15% tip service charge and tip was 45 dollars. To day we go there for lunch 8-4-23 the bill was 165.00 I got to the key pad she gave it to me on the tip page . I scroll back to the bill .and there is a 25. Dollar service charge I tolled her I will not pay for that.
