First time we ate there and we are amazed of the excellent foods that we had. Triple thumbs up and more than five stars I want to give them. We love the ambiance and the server who was very nice. Keep up the good works guys and hope some Filipinos will love this new place too to dine in. Good luck to the owner and more power. God bless!
The BEST Philippines restaurant in town. Highly recommend! Friendly and cordial staff and outstanding food. The best BBQ and the Pancit is GREAT!
Food is good. Good ambiance. Clean restroom and friendly staff. I highly recommend.
Feels eating from my Lupang Hinirang.Thumbs up for the service, place, & food.
The place is clean, the service is really great and the food is great!
The best filipino restaurant in nyc. Food is great, servers are very nice and friendly. Great ambience. Keep it up
The food is so delicious and affordable. I brought my Filipino mom here when she visited me in New York, and she said this is the best Filipino restaurant she has eaten here in NYC. The people are also so nice and friendly and generous. I definitely will come back and bring my friends here.
Monday lunch about 2pm. Greeted by friendly staff and a great table location. About 12-15 others are dining as well. Really tastee. Authentic Grill is close to my wife's cooking ( she's still the best ) š.
Comfort food at it's finest.
This Filipino restaurant is a gem.
The food is great. Each plate came with rice. Or sub garlic rice for extra.
Lechon sisig was great. Wish it came with more peppers. Served on a sizzling plate as per usual.
Fried tilapia was on point. Perfectly fried. Eat all the bones too.
Pork bbq skewers are hella good. 4 dollars a pop but their pretty big.
The ampalaya is ampalaya. You love it or hate it. I thought that maybe after 10 years of not having it, that Iād like it. But itās still a no from me dawg. For those unaware, this is a bitter melon dish. Itās name is suggestive of its flavor profile. The shrimp was good as was the sauce.
Grilled Bangus was nice. Small portion. Came with grilled eggplant which was nice.
Sago and halo halo were really good. Wish I had more stomach space to try more.
Will definitely be coming back.
The owner same up to us and asked about our dinner. VERY PLEASED.
Went on here on the recommendation of my barber and wasnāt disappointed. Having never been to the Philippines and not having any Filipino family I had no idea what to order so my buddy and I went for the platter and as an aftertizer (since we were coming from a hike) we ordered the pork belly. Will for sure be back and in the meantime Iāll be searching the internet for some Filipino staples to try!

Went with a group of 12, and luckily, they had seating. Prices are decent, good selection is varied, and the place is small, yet quaint. We ordered 2 platters, and it was amazing. It was my first time having Filipino food, and everything tasted great! I'd love to eat here again!
Recommended by a friend. You walk upstairs and feel like you entered a Filipina auntieās home. Feels very cozy. The food was delicious. Lechon was so crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Possibly my favorite Filipino restaurant in Queens. Good, hearty comforting food. Get the lechon kawali for that perfectly crisp and crunchy bite š¤¤ Servings are generous and the staff is so warm. Entrance is a bit confusing - door on the left is for pick ups, door to the right leads to the stairs and the restaurant is on the second floor. Definitely coming back when I miss the flavors of home
Itās very traditional Filipino food. Upside: decent bbq and lots of meat. Too much. Downside: long wait. For food and for table. They take rsvp for larger group.
Food - they are good. Either grilled and packed with sweet. They canāt go bad for that. You will end with a sugar high easily. Beside that, portion is a lot. Love the noodle and seafood. Grill pork is very easy to get addicted to.
Ambiance is casual with family friendly environment.
Service is friendly but they get busy.
Huge portions affordably priced! We came in an hour before closing and they kindly seated us and served us in no time at all, food came piping hot and everything was so amazing it really wowed us. The sisig was the best Iāve ever had! And the skewers were perfectly cooked and tender, way better than expensive fancy places (unlike the dried out skewers from laser wolf). Whole fried pork hock was a wonder to behold.
Restaurant is located in the 2nd floor so you just walk up the stairs. Came here around 6 pm on a Friday and was able to get seated. It got busier throughout the evening with every table full by the time we left. Staff is friendly here and they accept credit cards (one card per table).
For food, we ordered, Pork BBQ, Lechon Kawali, Lumpia and Tokwat Baboy (fried tofu and chopped pork). We got the garlic rice (for $1 more) instead of the white rice that comes as default. All the food was so good especially the pork bbq skewers, lechon and lumpia. For drinks, we ordered the Sago and the Mango Juice. The Sago was on the sweeter side, one friend did not like it as it was too sweet.
My Lola told me she wanted me to try her favourite restaurant. This area has a little Filipino community that my Grandmother loves. So of course Iād be eager to visit. The food was delicious! Service was so fast. Everyone was so friendly, lively, and lovely.
Iāll definitely be coming back, the food was authentic and such a great atmosphere!
Ventured out to Queens from Jersey City for an authentic Filipino Food, and was not disappointed. 10/10 for the food. We ordered Lechon, lumpia, pork bbq, chicken bbq, pancit, sisig, sinagang and sizzling steak. Service was also AMAZING. Cannot rave about this place enough. Will definitely be back!! Thanks!
Just delicious Filipino cuisine. Hands down!šš¤¤Itās worth the 2 hour trip. Excellent customer service. Parking is a challenge though. Weāve been coming here from out of state and every time, we have to go around the block a few times to get parking on the side street, even on a Sunday. I donāt know if thereās any park and pay close by. There are metered parking thatās always occupied. Despite this challenge, we always enjoy our time, especially our dining here.
Ordered the ihawan sampler, sisig with egg, kare-kare, and sinigang na hipon. Total came to $70 (not counting tip), table for 3. Overall food was good but I wasn't blown away by anything. Felt like the dishes could have been more flavorful. I give the meal a 7/10. Felt like the price was high for what you get. Best thing was either the sampler or sisig.
Great place to try filipino food. One of the best place to try filipino style barbeque.
Better to call ahead for reservation, the place gets really packed. The staff are really friendly and courteous. The only complain that I have is we have to wait like 20 mins for the food. I honestly think the place is understaffed. Dinning area is small but a 20 minute wait is a bit long. The employees know it to because they apologized when they served the food.
The dish that we ordered was delicious and even with the wait was worth it even the price. Some might say it is a bit expensive but I can honestly say it is worth it, and would recomend the place.
