Good place to for Filipino food. I especially like their laing - Taro leaves stewed in coconut milk. I think the food could be served a little warmer though.

Went here for happy hour, they have a variety of drinks to choose from which is cool! We didn't order food since the place is already pack, dining area is too small. The hubby gave them a cash tip but they still added $5 to the credit card, so be careful giving a tab and getting drunk there.

Came here for dinner with friends on a Saturday evening, with reservations. The place was packed and they had live music! Your typical awesome Filipino cover band, entertaining 👌🏽 but not easy at all to enjoy a meal with friends without shouting. On a busy night, this definitely is a place where you enjoy more with friends vs coming alone or with a date. Sitting at the bar could be cool with 2 people - they had a few TVs above the bar tuned in to basketball and boxing of course. #sopinoy The Pata Combo was fab! The palabok was made with spaghetti noodles...! Still tasty. Their calamari apoetizer and the crab torta werre both yummy. What else... Oh the bone marrow dish was decent and the spam fries, taste like deep fried spam. 🤓 Cocktail menu has a Filipino spin... Made with calamansi 💕 so good! This is definitely more of a good drinking (with food) spot during the weekend vs a dinner) dining experience. Does that make sense?! I would give this place 3.5 stars if I could... But with my good friends visiting from the Bay with me at the table, yummy food and pleasant service, overall we had a great time which boosted the rating to 4 stars 🌟⭐⭐⭐ TIP: review your bill... I guess a new trend in NYC is to add a calculated gratuity line to your bill, which I just saw on TV yesterday! Although it's a US custom, you are not legally obligated to pay a tip FYI... so feel free to adjust as you see fit and hope you read this and don't add an additional tip unless you are feeling super generous. Thanks for reading!

Food was extremely cold on the inside and room temperature on the outside. From the fried spring rolls to the fries it was all cold. It gave my stomach an unsettling feeling. My friends had mixed feelings about the alcoholic beverages. We will not be returning here.
