Kayumangi — Restaurant in Wallingford

Probably one of the worst meals I've had in my life. I went based on all the 5* reviews. First of all it's such an awkward setting, it's definitely not a dine in restaurant. They had no high chair for my toddler. The steam table food was not even warm. The meat was about 80% fat and my crispy pata was literally just a friend bone, literally no meat on it at all. We had to ask for drinks and silverware. Please don't be fooled by the other reviews, I'm assuming they got their friends to rate them. I drove over an hour to get to the only Filipino restaurant in CT, such a waste of time. We literally drove straight to another restaurant to get food afterwards. I'm Filipino and this was supposed to be a late Mother's Day dinner and I was embarrassed to have brought my family there. After walking in my wife literally said "are we eating here?" It looks like a rundown corner store, I should've gone w her instincts and left right away. If you want great Filipino food don't go here.

In response to your reply. I did not expect fine dining. I expected edible warm food. I'm sure there is also a reason you don't post a picture of your dining area, it's embarrassing. I paid good money to eat at your "restaurant" and I would expect at least a sincere apology in your response, but I guess you are fine w subpar food, service and environment....

If you are craving for Filipino cuisine or trying it for the first time, this is the place to be! We come here for our comfort foods. Very delicious with added Filipino hospitality. Excellent customer service! There’s a wide variety of Filipino dishes to choose from especially the famous lumpia😀& pancit👏You can also order here for your party needs. You can dine in, sit back, relax and feel at home. No fancy preparations. Remember, don’t eat a dish without steamed white rice if you really want to try it the Filipino way because, a meal is not a meal without steamed white rice😀Put anything on top of a steamed rice and you can say hmmm mmm mmmmm....So don’t delay, experience the goodness of the Filipino...

From the second you walk in you are greeted with a kind face, friendly attitude, and immediately treated like family. The owner here is incredibly kind, let me know everything that was available and have a quick rundown of the food and was super sweet and attentive the entire time. The food itself is delicious and feels like warm home cooking, whether you are familiar with it or not. Don’t let the small size put you off, eating in here is absolutely worth the incredible feeling and you won’t be disappointed. I never write reviews but absolutely had to after my experience here, I will be...
