Manila Kantina Buffet - Miami

I also appreciate the extensive selection of Filipino groceries available, allowing me to take home essential ingredients for my own Filipino cooking. I visit regularly and often bring friends along, and with all the cruise workers who stop by, it truly feels like stepping into the Philippines. You won’t experience anything quite like this in Miami. Whether you’re new to Filipino food or already a fan, this place is a must-visit!

This restaurant was amazing! The food was outstanding, and the family that runs it is fantastic. The staff was very helpful, explaining each dish and offering plenty of recommendations. They mostly encouraged us to try as much as we could of everything. I'll definitely return whenever I'm in Miami!

The food was fantastic! Owner Judith was very involved and exceptionally friendly. The prices are very reasonable for such high-quality dishes. The atmosphere felt like home. Judith made us feel like old friends, even though we had just met. If you're in downtown Miami, treat yourself and dine here—you won't regret it!

This was my first experience with Filipino cuisine, and I decided to try a takeout option from this buffet. For just $12, I got a delicious platter featuring favorites like lechon (roast pork belly), adobo, fried chicken, longanisa sausage, lumpia (spring rolls), pancit (stir-fried noodles), and steamed rice. The food was fantastic, and the service was outstanding. It’s a family-run restaurant with incredibly friendly staff. The place was filled with Filipino customers during lunch, which speaks to its authenticity. I would absolutely recommend it and look forward to returning.

My new favorite restaurant in Miami, and perhaps all of Florida! The buffet offers a wide variety of options, with the fish, shrimp, and lechon being my top picks. Everything is simply delicious—make sure you sample everything! It’s incredibly affordable at just $12 per person, and the quality is genuine with unmatched flavors. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive; they checked in on us to see if we wanted drinks and promptly cleared our trays when we finished. They also serve dessert and coffee. It feels like home, or at least how I imagine home would be in the Philippines!
