Mama Fina’s NYC House of Filipino Sisig

The food quality is maintained amidst their busy hour.. the main problem is the long wait for the food to be served. Usually, 20mins if less customers and 40mins - 1hr if packed. I wish they can think of a better system in cooking or preparing the food.

We went here on a Wednesday night at around 8:30pm. Didn't need to book but I've heard it can be busy so reservation is recommended. Each sisig plate is around $20 which is reasonable for New York. We also tried their laing which was really good. Everything was on the salty end, but that's generally the case with Filipino food. Definitely will be back to try the other styles of sisig and the other dishes.

There are not that many Filipino places that I have heard of and that are really trending. Filipino is low key extremely good. Sisig is so simple yet it packs a punch in flavor. I got the squid and pork sisig with plain and garlic rice. You must try the garlic rice with the squid sisig. It is the epitome of decadence and richness. I recommend getting the dishes a little spicier because mild in my opinion was not spicy at all. Some spice would help break down the decadence of the sisig. Also use the vinegar in the table. It's there for a reason. Adding a drop it two on to the rice will make everything taste so much better. Scoop up some sisig and vinegar-rice and you won't regret it.

Went with my Filipino friends. Trusted them to order everything. My favorite was the pusit sisig. Also loved the leche flan. We also had 2 other sisig (pork and milkfish), Kare kare, Lechon, Laing and snow peas. Halo halo was meh. Turon was yummy. One of my friends refused to eat any of the dishes with vegetables saying that Filipinos don’t eat veggies. Hehe. My friends said the prices were high but the food was great.
