Me and my partner visited Tambayan this afternoon. Mixed experience honestly.The atmosphere is nice and the owner, as well as the kitchen staff, are very welcoming and accommodating.Starters were really good (especially the Gyoza). Hot and loads of flavour!Main courses, unfortunately, weren’t great. We had a chicken curry and some beef, fried eggs and rice.I thought the curry lacked a lot of seasoning and the beef dish was extremely simple. Both the main dishes exceeded £15.£15+ for a few tiny slices of beef, some boiled rice and 2 eggs is quite poor value for money in my opinion.When we got the bill, my partner had been charged £5 for a glass of water. On the bill it was labelled as ‘large bottle of still water’. She didn’t receive a bottle and it wasn’t a particularly big glass.£8 for a glass of water and an orange juice is absurd in my opinion.Nice place, nice people but they need to adjust the pricing.

Had a delicious family birthday meal.

Many things here were good. I was very disappointed in their ability to provide spice. I asked at some length for extra spice, discussing chillies for example and my experience asking for spice in other restaurants. In the meal I received, I could not taste any spice. Everything else about it was good. I was even provided with a bowl of chillies, which were too large to be hot.So, I can't see us being in a hurry to return.

Been there twice. Food are as if you're in the Philippines. No fusion or whatsoever, one look and you know it is Filipino food and the taste is on point. Lovely service and very home-y ambiance. Looking forward for another meal.

Food was as good as when I went earlier this year, the head dishwasher is really cool too. Big up Jamie Jackson!
Jamie Jackson needs a raise to feed his family, the food was really good too.

Amazing food, so much flavour!Best we had in a while. I'm a picky eater but loved this welcoming little restaurant. Recommend and will be back soon.

Lovely place, a bit hidden, and small! However the food was lovely. As a veggie, I did chose badly and had the noodles, which were covered in soy sauce, and the off carrot and mushroom. Couldnt finish it, but my friends enjoyed their meals. I would go again, but avoid the veg noodles!

We went for our wedding anniversary and what a gem of a place. Food was amazing. Great atmosphere. Tapas plates were so tasty and ample portion. We'll be back

It was a reasonable food experience when it eventually arrived, but the place is very small and cramped.Not the best experience.
