Kamayan is a traditional Filipino family style meal where you only eat with your natural utensils....YOUR HANDS! No plates, no utensils. Our dishes will be served family-style on top banana leaves. "Kamayan" roughly translates to "by hand" and is the traditional way of eating for Filipinos. Our menu will have more traditional fare as well as courses that share the unique perspective of growing up Filipino in the US.
