Kain Na-Filipino Cuisine
9323 Perrin Beitel, San Antonio, TX
Crema's Take
“While Kain Na serves traditional Filipino cuisine rather than specialty coffee, it's worth knowing about if you're seeking a warm, family-friendly spot that opens late—perfect for a post-coffee meal or leisurely afternoon. The kitchen excels at authentic dishes like crispy-outside, juicy-inside meat preparations and hard-to-find regional specialties like Ilocos empanadas, with staff who genuinely explain each dish and its origins. It's the kind of place where locals keep coming back the same day for another meal, drawn by both the quality and the genuine hospitality.”

Lunch was so good I took my wife back for dinner the same night. We can’t wait to go back. Delicious.
I was craving for Ilocos Empanada for YEARS and I finally found one. I was so excited! But then I was so disappointed.💔😔 It's not what I am expecting. Idk why the heck there's a MUNGGO in the empanada.🤷🏽♀️ idk if it's from tiktok or something🤦🏽♀️ I've tried the original Vigan one (since my wife is from there) and I tried the original Laoag one when we were in Norte but DAYYYUUUUMMMM the one they sell here is MORE THAN THE IMITATION👎 I highly suggest, TAKE THE MUNGGO OUT OF THE EMPANADA!👍🏽 and the wrap is so thick like almost a bread already🤦🏽♀️ other than that, I haven't tried anything else.
I’ve never been inside this establishment. Last year I wanted pancit close to the holidays and I ordered last min. I called for a tray of pancit and a tray of lumpia. It was a lager enough amount to feed a group of 10+ with left overs. It was around 100.00. I sent my husband to pick it up. Food was great and we have ordered the same way again. So I can recommend the pancit and lumpia even when ordering with short notice (20 min.)
Wanted to try this place out. Never had Philippine food before but this place was pretty good. Had a good selection. The service was great and every dish was explained to us in detail. They even have a store connected where you can buy food they sell in their country.
Really good, unique food. While the portions are a bit small, they taste amazing. I also got plenty on my $12 plate. The meat was juicy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. I didn't realize stir fry veggies would be mostly cabbage but it was still good. I noticed on a sign they have karaoke with byob on Fridays which looks fun. Recommend giving it a try!
