Oriental Cuisine Kainan

This restaurant is located in the University shoppes located to the far left of the strip mall. There is plenty of parking. The interior is spacious with seating cafe style - booths along the wall, cafe 4 top tables in the main area, and more in the adjacent room.There are food items for purchase in the adjacent room and along the wall to the right before ordering at the counter. I informed the staff this was my first time and they were helpful in assisting with food choices and explained the items. I opted for the white rice with 2 entree items. The lumpia were half sized and were great to get a few to try. The food and snack item all cost under $20 which was a bargain and the tray was packed with food. Everything was flavorful and delicious! The staff were helpful and made sure I enjoyed my first visit!

Place is clean. People that work there and served us were very nice and helpful. Food is very good! If this was closer to my house, I'd come more often. I recommend going here if you crave for Filipino food

Whenever we are at VA Beach, we stop by Kainan for some of the best filipino food around. The line can get pretty long during lunch but the food is served from the hot bar. For combos, you can choose pancit or rice as a base then one or two entrees. I always get the Lechon, comes out with super crispy skin and stays juicy. They also have Lechon sauce in the front. Sisig is also very good along with the squid if they have it available. Their turon is also really crispy, sweet, and fresh. If you dine in, the combos come with free soup as well. Super reasonable prices on everything with large portions. They also have a decent amount of seating if you want to sit down.

If you are craving/wanting to try Filipino food, you NEED to come here. It's similar to cafeteria style. They had a lot of traditional Filipino dishes and some that I've never heard of before too. I got the pancit with two entrees last time and it was so much food that you'll probably have enough for two meals. The lechon belly and sisig were so good, so if you don't know what to get, at least get these two. To be honest, I don't think you could go wrong with any of their food items. The pricing was worth it for the amount of food that you get. Definitely try some of their sweets too! I can't wait to come back here again when I'm in the area.

Food was okay! I wanted to like this place but I feel like there wasn't a lot of vegetarian options so I couldn't try too much of the food. I had the shrimp fritter & chop suey with rice. I also had a tofu lumpia sariwa which was alright. The shrimp fritter was cold but I'm sure it would have tasted better if it was hot & crispy. Chopsuey was average. I would have liked the lumpia sariwa if it didn't fall apart. I think it was wrapped in plastic wrap it would have been better. I know it's popular place in the area so I'm sure it's better for meat eaters.

The people here are friendly. Lots of selection for lunch and dessert. The lechon is not too fatty (one thing we can't stand) and everything was delicious. The music playing was nice. Tables were clean. No complaints at all.

Love love love the atmosphere in this place. It's like the usual turo turo ( pointing at your food) but the staff is nice and friendly. Lol they called me cute.Anyway, amazing Filipino food. My favorite there are their savory dishes such as dinuguuan , menudo , and kare kare. They also have desserts and filipino grocery items, but I did not go for that. It's a nice sit down place for lunch if you want to have the ambiance of people but you wanna just sit by yourself. One of my go to Filipino places.

Whenever i have to go in the area where Kainan is my kids know we're stopping for lumpia... It was raining hard outside and i was about to just go home. But I'm glad i didn't.. Lol... I went in and ordered 30 lumpia. They're $.33 a piece which is reasonable. They're short lumpia, but they're delicious... Today they were hot and fresh and crispy... I absolutely love the sweet chili sauce that comes with it. I could drink that sauce by itself... Lol... Mmmmm.I also got chicken and pork on a stick, ube biko, and menudo with rice... Somebody's grandma put their foot in that flavorful menudo... It was delicious... It went good with the white rice.. Very filling and tasty... The chicken and pork on a stick were yummy as well. The bbq sauce on them is good... The ube biko is very sticky with just a little sweetness. I liked it but had to get over the texture as it was weird, but thats how its supposed to be.. I'd eat it again even though its not something I'd typically eat. They have several options on the line to choose from. Pansit, fish, vegetables, empanadas, and more. The staff is always nice.. The cashier has been there forever, he's a cool guy.. I like chatting with him, he gets you in and out!! This is the place to go for a quick dinner or lunch and good comfort food.. The prices are reasonable. They also have seating to dine in and offer a buffet.. My family orders from here when we have large gatherings and they always come through for us. If you need lumpia for a party this is the place to get it.. Check them out!! Their one of the best Filipino restaurants in the area..

Eccentric food guy, decent food, could have more variety, free water, sauces in squirt bottles, generic music playing, ample space between tables, dirty bathroom every time. ok service.

Staff are very friendly! and food is great and always warm. I bring most of my american friends here and they even allowed my friend to try some bit of the ulam for them to see if they want it or not. Very kind people and it always feel at home whenever I come here.
