Tukwila, WA
“Manila Sunset Tukwila represents the Washington state location of the pioneering Filipino restaurant chain founded by Ben and Lorna Halili in 1985, bringing the family's authentic Filipino cuisine to the Seattle metro area. This restaurant carries on the Manila Sunset tradition of specializing in rare Filipino delicacies rarely found even in the Philippines, including their famous bibingkang galapong and puto bumbong-traditional Christmas treats normally found only in church plazas and roadside stalls during the holiday season. The chain's signature dish, pancit Malabon, follows an original well-guarded recipe from the fishing village of Malabon, prepared by one of the few cooks who truly knows this delicacy. Tukwila's location near Seattle-Tacoma International Airport places it along a major corridor serving the region's substantial Filipino population. Manila Sunset continues the family mission of serving Filipinos in America who have missed these foods while gaining approval from diners of all backgrounds curious about Filipino cuisine.”

Farmingville, NY

This location brings the Kabayan Grill concept of Filipino barbecue and traditional dishes to an area where Filipino restaurants are less common than in Western Nassau County. Farmingville's more suburban, less densely populated character means the restaurant serves a geographically dispersed Filipino community drawn to Long Island's more affordable eastern communities. The restaurant specializes in Filipino grilled specialties while offering comprehensive traditional menu items, serving both nostalgic Filipino customers and Long Islanders curious about Filipino cuisine. Located on North Ocean Avenue, Kabayan Grill benefits from a main road location with parking that accommodates suburban driving patterns. With over 250 reviews, the restaurant has built recognition throughout eastern Long Island's Filipino community. The Farmingville location serves Filipino families throughout Suffolk County who appreciate having authentic Filipino food without driving to Queens or western Nassau County. The restaurant operates in a market where it may be the only Filipino option within many miles, making it particularly important to the local Filipino community for both regular dining and special occasion catering.”
