Filipino Restaurant · 40 tips and reviews
Violeta Sibulan: The best of all Filipino food...the barbecue is deliciously out of the world...crispy pata is mouth watering... for dessert the flan, avocado shake...service is great too.. enjoy!!!
nymag: Try the crispy pata here, a fantastically fatty Filipino-style pork knuckle. Featured in Cheap Eats 2011!
Keroll Ann: Gotta love their pork bbq!
Andrew Baisley: They just opened a completely new restaurant right next door. Really nice. People are super friendly here and the food is great!
John McCartney: Best Filipino restaurant in NYC, hands down. Go here if you have a big group and want the best as close to home cooked meals.
Jackie Chan: Cassava cake is smooth and not too sweet and dream worthy. Great service, legit Filipino food. Don't be scared to take non Filipinos here!
Kimmie Ohh: Obviously come here for their tlayudas! It’s like a Mexican “pizza” but I’d use that term loosely. All have Oaxacan cheese, black beans, cabbage, tomato & avocado. Add chorizo, al pastor or carnitas.
Lily: NYT Top Cheap Eats (3/2018): "Tlayudas; enmoladas con bistec; empanadas de amarillo; mole Oaxaqueño; horchata." NYT Top Cheap Bites (2018): Horchata.
Dustin: Tacos al pastor are real good
Neil Palmer: Chicken mole poblano was fantastic. Just the right mix of sweet, spicy, chocolate. Not normally my thing but this was great
Eater: A Robert Sietsema Top Cheap Eat: One of the best dishes was pork pozole that came with 2 tostados on the side. For an inexpensive group dinner with friends, there's no better place in Ridgewood. Read more.
John Clark: Pretty legit carne asada...good salsa verde
