"Kamayan has mastered the art of family-style dining. That’s why strength in numbers should be the motto at Kamayan on Buford Highway—it's best experienced with a table filled with Filipino plates and a posse to help you eat them. Spicy sisig arrives still sizzling in a large skillet, slippery pancit noodles are topped with fried pork belly that achieves an unfathomable level of crispiness, and sinigang pork ribs swim in a rich, meaty broth that'll demand another scoop of rice to sop it all up. Just be sure to come with people you actually like, because there's a high likelihood they'll be eating off your plate. Atlanta isn’t a reservations-needed city, but this is a restaurant you’ll want to book a couple weeks in advance because the demand is high and the space is tight. And if you want to try their popular kamayan feast, it has to be booked as a private dinner." - nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
"Kamayan is where you should have a birthday party when you don’t actually like to party. It’s fun but in a low-key, comfy way, and they've mastered the art of family-style dining. So pull up to this Buford Highway spot with your celebratory crew and eat your way through a table filled with Filipino plates. Spicy sisig arrives still sizzling in a large skillet, slippery pancit noodles are topped with fried pork belly that achieves an unfathomable level of crispiness, and sinigang pork ribs swim in a rich, meaty broth that'll demand another scoop of rice to sop it all up. Atlanta isn’t a reservations-needed city, but this is a restaurant you’ll want to book a couple weeks in advance because the demand is high and the space is tight. And if you want to try their popular kamayan feast, it has to be booked as a private dinner." - nina reeder, jacinta howard
"Owned by Mia Orino and Carlo Gan, Kamayan ATL brings to Buford Highway a restaurant offering a vast range of dishes and cuisine styles found throughout the islands comprising the Philippines. This includes traditional Filipino dishes like bistek silog, lechon sisig, and hearty bowls of kaldereta (tomato-based broth beef stew with peppers, potatoes, and olives garnished with jalapenos, chilis, and fresh herbs), as well as elaborate kamayan feasts meant for sharing spread out over tables. Michelin listed Kamayan ATL as a recommended restaurant to try on its Atlanta dining guide. A new location is expected in Asian Square in Doraville. Kamayan made Eater Atlanta’s Best Dishes We Ate roundup for their fried green beans." - Michael Tran
"A lively Filipino, family-style brunch experience well suited to celebrations; the reviewer spent a birthday brunch here enjoying a communal feast that emphasizes shared plates and a festive, convivial atmosphere." - Henna Bakshi
"Michelin-recommended Kamayan serves a weekend brunch with incredible rice bowls. Be sure to order the longsilog ($17) served with a sweet and savory Filipino-style chorizo (there are four in the order, and it’ll make you wish there were four more), fried rice, fresh fruit, and two fried eggs. It is a hearty and flavorful bowl, and one worth scarfing down. The regular menu is also available. Pair brunch with hot ginger tea that’ll wake you up, and then tuck you into your seat." - Henna Bakshi
