“Kabayan Filipino Restaurant brings authentic Filipino cuisine to Folsom, serving this prosperous Sacramento suburb's growing Filipino community. Located on East Bidwell Street, the restaurant benefits from Folsom's strong economy driven by technology companies and its position as one of Sacramento's more affluent suburbs. The restaurant prepares traditional Filipino dishes using authentic methods, offering the comfort food that Filipino families crave without the time investment of home cooking. Folsom's Filipino population includes professionals working in the region's tech sector, healthcare workers at local medical facilities, and families drawn to the area's excellent schools and safe neighborhoods. The restaurant's solid rating indicates satisfied customers who appreciate authentic preparations and generous portions. Being one of the few Filipino restaurants serving east Sacramento County, Kabayan attracts customers not just from Folsom but also from surrounding communities like El Dorado Hills, Orangevale, and Cameron Park. The restaurant serves both nostalgic Filipino customers and curious locals exploring international cuisine, operating in a diverse suburb where ethnic restaurants complement rather than compete with mainstream dining options. Kabayan provides essential access to Filipino food in a region where the cuisine is less available than in urban Sacramento or the Bay Area.”
“Teriyaki Station ATBP. uniquely combines Japanese teriyaki favorites with authentic Filipino cuisine, creating a family-friendly dining concept that serves diverse tastes under one roof. The "ATBP." (meaning "and more" or "etc." in Tagalog) perfectly captures the restaurant's expansive approach. The family-owned establishment centers around recipes created with love by mom and chef Mercedita, whose in-house preparations ensure authenticity and quality in every dish. The Filipino side of the menu showcases traditional favorites with particular acclaim for the paksiw na pata (braised pork hock), crispy lumpia that customers describe as among the best they've tried, and flavorful kare-kare. The restaurant prides itself on rolling fresh lumpia daily - whether customers need 5 pieces, 50, or 500. All-day breakfast silogs remain popular, with standouts including the Bangus Silog and Tapa Silog, both offering generous portions with customizable options. The teriyaki selections provide a complementary menu alongside the Filipino offerings, while the boba milk tea menu adds another dimension to the dining experience. The casual, self-service style with outdoor seating creates a relaxed atmosphere perfect for families. Customers particularly appreciate the friendly, accommodating staff who contribute to the welcoming environment. While located near Folsom Lake and the outlet shopping center, the restaurant has built a loyal following among Filipino-Americans in the greater Sacramento area who appreciate finding quality Filipino food in Folsom. Established in 2018, Teriyaki Station ATBP. has successfully carved out its niche by offering this unique dual-cuisine concept.”
