Angie: Get the sisig with coconut rice -- a great combination of sweet and savoy. Don't forget the halo halo!
Brooklyn United: Filipino and Thai fusion served as small plates. Interesting flavors! We highly recommend the quail wings and the crispy red curry rice. Good to go with a group and share a bunch of plates.
Steve O: Try the Green Mango salad, the Papaya Noodle salad, and the grilled Pork Jowl...but the best item on the menu is the Coconut Rice!

Bin Yang: get every hot starter + pork (maybe 2 orders of the eggs - they're unbelievably crunchy and rich) + duck fat lotus leaf wrapped sticky rice. A riesling would go well with the food here.

Susan Loh: Highlights: tartare, chicken liver, lobster and rice. Plus a nice selection of reasonably priced wines!
