Not very familiar with Filipino food but I enjoyed this place a lot as a fusion spot. We came in near closing but the waitress was so kind and prompt even though she was the only one in the front. The “nigiri” was seriously flavorful, but the highlight was the white chocolate flan. Never had basil on flan but it was a genius move. The restaurant interior is cute too.
I went to Bayan Ko for restaurant week and I was fairly disappointed. I was very excited for the food. I’m a big fan of Filipino cuisines and I have to admit this does not hit the spot. I would not say this is authentic Filipino food. It’s a fun fusion though. The food was alright. I still enjoyed my meal. My criticism is that I wish there was more flavor and balance with the dishes. My pork belly dish came with only a little bit of veggies. I wish it came it with more. It was very crispy though, which was nice. My friend also said she wished the chicken wings had more flavor. My boyfriend ordered the pinoy burger and it was mediocre. However, the ube sundae was delightful. I did hear that Bayan Ko gets their ube ice cream from Milky Milky, a local Filipina-owned business.
WOWWW!!!!!!!!!!! Delicious. This spot is a delicious fusion of Cuban & Filipino - their simple menu is done with skill and an eye toward flavor! The plates are meant to be shared so we ordered a hodgepodge of things - since I don’t eat mammals, I opted for the adobo chicken wings and the gulay veggie dish. The wings were unbelievable - crispy yet not dried out, flavorful and mouthwatering. Highly highly recommend. The gulay was tasty, too! It came with rice and had zuchinni and chopped Japanese sweet potato in a creamy curry sauce. Oh my. Oh my. It was good. The rest of the table had croquetas, sliders, ropa vieja, and lumpia. Everyone raved about the flavors, temperature, textures, and perfect portions. It is BYOB so we brought a bottle of white, a bottle of brut, and premixed cocktails to mix and match with the flavors of food. The vibe was welcoming and energizing. Super cute spot with great service. Five stars. Hands down.
Absolutely wonderful establishment. Everything from the amazing food, cooked and presented with perfection. To Hannah with ease single handedly running the front of a packed restaurant. I just wish I could give an even higher rating to the gem of a restaurant that I have found. Thanks guys for making my night.
Had a great dinner here during restaurant week. It was amazing. We had a pot of hot green tea that may have been the best tea I've ever had in my life. I just the Sisig Nigiri as an appetizer, Lechon as an entree, and flan for dessert. My girlfriend had croqueta tots and an Ube Sundae as well. Everything was great!Dine in: YesOutdoor seating: Yes

Came to Bayan Ko for my friend's 30th bday dinner..the food was AMAZING! The service was great, very attentive and friendly. We loved the paella, cuban sandwiches and mussels especially but everything we had was great. Make sure you end with some of their ice creamDine in: YesOutdoor seating: YesTakeout: Yes
Wonderful experience here at Bayan ko. Reservations are recommended as there are limited seats. Service was super attentive and friendly. Ended up ordering 4 dishes to share and a dessert. 4 was the perfect amount for 2 people. Ceviche was fresh and refreshing to start the meal. Also the short rib bistec was superb. Everything on the menu was prepared to perfection and I highly recommend checking this place out.
This is a small establishment with a small menu that packs a punch. $25 Prix Fixe lunch is a bang for your buck and they allow BYOB.
Really unique take on Filipino cuisine. I brought my Filipino friend with me and we both thought it was amazing. We had the lechon, bistec, and pancit. Each dish was phenomenal.
