After our meal, we decided to try the Halo-halo for dessert. I was really looking forward to it, but the first bite was disappointing due to its sour taste. Unfortunately, the second bite was just as sour. I called the waitress over to discuss it, and she suggested that it might be the milk poured on top of the Halo-halo. Ultimately, I chose to return it. I told my husband that we wouldn't be coming back. The food didn't meet our expectations, which is why I gave them a one-star rating.
I've been going to this restaurant since I relocated to Orlando, and it never lets me down. You absolutely must try their daing bangus! The staff is friendly, especially Lorie (I'm not sure about the spelling of her name). I recommended this place to my family, and we visited today; they loved it! They even said it was better than another Filipino restaurant they had tried. The portions are generous, the atmosphere isn't too crowded, and the prices are very reasonable. I should mention that I’m quite picky and have been to many Filipino restaurants, but this one is my favorite. It truly feels like dining in the Philippines. The food is amazing, I promise!
I was excited to try something new, and Inay's Kitchen did not disappoint. The food was amazing and full of flavor. The service was top-notch; the staff was very friendly and welcoming. My family and I can't wait to come back and try more dishes, including the ube ice cream!
I haven't been to the Philippines since I was a kid, but savoring Inay's Lumpia and Pancit brought back memories with their authentic flavors. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!
We left feeling that we had wasted our money, time, and gas coming to this place; it simply wasn’t worth it. On our first day, we went to Nipa Hut and highly recommend it for both the excellent food and service. While we were sitting here, my son kept urging me to return to Nipa Hut, but I insisted that we stay since we were already seated. In the end, we didn’t even finish our meals, and the menu was very limited.

Great food my wife loves it
The food was mediocre, and the service left a lot to be desired. My husband and I had an encounter with one of the owners who was quite rude and intrusive. The prices were far too high for the quality provided—it's like paying five-star hotel prices for what feels like a casual dining experience. Overall, we were disappointed and unimpressed, and we won't be coming back.
Food was good, but portions are small for prices.
The food here was incredible! I had the chicken adobo and chicken lumpia, and I will definitely be returning for lunch. I've added this restaurant to my list of favorites. Not only is the food outstanding, but it’s also a family-run establishment that serves authentic home-cooked dishes from the Philippines. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to try something new!

I really enjoyed the sisig and Kare Kare—they were both absolutely delicious! The portions were generous this time, which I appreciated. Thank you!
The food at Inay's Kitchen is excellent! That said, the portions are quite small considering the price. I tried the lomi and pork adobo, both of which tasted great, but the serving sizes were disappointing. My bill came to $30, and I still left feeling hungry. The adobo was $12, but it didn’t seem to justify the cost.
Inay's Kitchen is fantastic! I sampled the sisig, pancit, sinigang, and dinuguan. While the sisig and pancit came in hearty portions, the servings of sinigang and dinuguan were a bit on the smaller side.
The Sinigang portion is quite small compared to the generous family-sized servings you usually get at most Filipino restaurants. Although it’s flavorful, it’s really only enough for one person. The pork BBQ was also enjoyable and a bit smaller in size, but its portion felt more reasonable than the Sinigang.
The flavors were really good, and my son loved it. I'm used to Hispanic takeout portions, which are usually larger, but although the portion size here was smaller, the food is very tasty for the price!
