Djaniella D.: Pork sisig, pork belly adobo, and crispy pata are a few classics in the Philippines, and they did a great job putting their own twist in these signature dishes!
Melissa Yu: Shared the coconut rice, Kao Soi and Pork Belly Adobo with a friend and it was more than enough. Very thick, rich, spicy goodness. Can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu.
Erica DeChavez: Pork belly adobo is srsly the best i've had. Chicken wings are amazing and the coconut rice is just the right amount of sweetness, not too sweet.

Gabriel Chung: Delicious authentic filipano food. the chicken adobo, flan, cassava cake are wow!
Halstead Property: A truly hidden gem! Try the Adobo Pork Chunks – the pork is so tender you won’t need to use your knife and can give back to your waiter!

Kelsey Lee: The pollo adobo and chips and guac are all excellent, but don't forget to add every kind of chipotle sauce they have! Hibiscus chipotle!? Unreal.
Steven Y: The seared fish, pollo adobo and beef picadillo are really good, and their habanero and jalapeño sauces are awesome
Stephanie Tan: Perf. Taco. Spot. Personal favs are the crispy fish taco and the pollo adobo. Complete the meal with fresh sandia (watermelon juice). Atmosphere is darling and authentic.

Katie Eytch: Tacos were amazing. Highly recommend the Adobo pork as it has the most favor. The chicken is pretty boring and definitely is the least good, (but still delicious).
Elsa H: Favorite taco place in NYC! They have a storefront at W 43rd St if you’re looking sit down. I get the adobo corn taco - so good! Try the dried whole chiles 🌶 (it’s spicy) they have on the counter 😋
Tom Walter: Liked the adobo the best. So tasty!

Camille: If you are looking for tasty Filipino cuisine, we found this little gem in the heart of Hell's Kitchen. The ambiance was great, and the food lived up to my expectations. Well love this place.Masarap!
