Kayu brings creative Filipino cuisine to Northwest DC under Chef Paolo, who has built a following for a menu that reworks familiar Filipino flavors into something distinct. The ube dessert has become a particular draw, mentioned often by regulars. Service is a consistent highlight, with diners describing the staff as attentive and exceptional across visits.
