The food is awesome and delicious . Prices should match the portions.Try making this your last stop, unless you want to smell like a fried pig by the time you get home/club . You'll get eaten alive

Great for a boozy brunch. They churn out plates one at a time so don't expect it to be a fancy kitchen style of service. Enjoy the decor too!
Caitlin SakdalanMarch 11, 2016
Try the Sisig, Green Papaya Salad, and Short Rib Rendang! Also grab a San Miguel while you're at it 😉 can't wait to go back and try more!

If you've been to the Far East, this place serves refined hawker centre food. Full of flavour, worth a try when you're in LES.
NetsirkApril 10, 2016
Cool Filipino fusion spot in LES with nice old-school influenced interior. Food is bomb and so are the cocktails. Get the sisig!

Sick tunes and delicious spicy bites. One of Obama's favorite restaurants in the Lower East Side. If you're on the fence, do it!

Pork belly adobo is srsly the best i've had. Chicken wings are amazing and the coconut rice is just the right amount of sweetness, not too sweet.

If you want a meal that will make you cry with joy, get the lamb ribs. They come with tzatziki, pickled red cabbage and roti so you can make wraps. So good a lamb would eat them.
Cameron GidariOctober 26, 2016
Coconut rice is life. Loved the pork belly adobo. The Khao Soi is my favorite dish on the menu.

Incredible food and even better soundtrack (Mobb Deep, KRS-1, Snoop). Service is great and perfect chill date spot. Don't miss the sisig and sirloin.
Lars GinnerupSeptember 7, 2019
Very youthful place - with tasty Filipino food. Shared 5 dishes between 3 ppl - which was perfect.

The papaya salad and the crispy pata, couldn’t fault them. The adobo was not the traditional adobo. I love the technique of a crispy pork belly but the sauce was non-traditional. such a let down.
Hamish AlexanderMay 11, 2018
Crispy pata was great! 😊 I did expect a massive serving but it was just the right size for my appetite
Julio AcostaSeptember 15, 2015
Everything is delicious, you'll want to wipe the plates clean and wish you weren't full to order more! My only problem is that they don't accept AMEX!
Gurdeep SinghNovember 14, 2015
Amazing food and service - ssig Cocunut rice and the beef curried short ribs .. Mr honchata on the side (like drunken dragon milk at Macao - an alcoholic milkshake 😄)
Lais SchefflerAugust 27, 2017
Coconut rice, barbecue ribs, pork with egg noodles and the desert with rato ice cream!
Wilson ZhouApril 28, 2014
David Chang create a new breed of Asian-American comfort food with Fatty Crew (Fatty ’Cue, Fatty Crab), but at Pig and Khao, the formula doesn’t work as smoothly. Filipino deserts, halo-halo, pinipig.
Kirk EdmondsonJanuary 27, 2017
Great food with surprisingly large portion size. Not quite as spicy as local Thai food, but more appropriate than most places in NYC.
Lillian CheungFebruary 1, 2017
Really liked the coconut rice and sizzling sissig. Halo halo is a treasure hunt of tasty treats, perfect ending to the meal. Would be back!
Sonia GrobmanFebruary 20, 2015
Sisig is amazing and coconut rice! The pork belly was a little heavy. The small plates were as big as full meals
Jeffrey AndersonMay 4, 2014
The grilled Pork Jowl is refreshing and tasty. I didn't expect the watermelon to go so well with the pork and spices. Really enjoyable dish.
SteveJanuary 6, 2016
Everything is good here. I had the ribs and papaya salad and they were amazing.
Ryan AmbsJanuary 9, 2016
Enjoyed the ribs and the cole slaw it came with. Probably skip the sisig. Overall it's worth the hike for an interesting food experience.
Kyle ByeMay 31, 2015
Now only if the sizzling sisig and coconut rice could somehow be delivered to my door every evening, that would be heaven!

A Top Chef contestant's spin on Thai and Filipino cooking to mixed results. While some dishes don't live up to their inspirations, others are spicy and bright.
stephiedooAugust 13, 2015
Of course the sisig but I also highly recommend the pork jowl with fried brussels sprouts.
K MSeptember 25, 2016
Coconut rice is perfect. Khao Soi was amazing. Also had a snapper special that was yummy but smaller than expected.
Shohini GuptaJuly 27, 2019
Amazing restaurant week menu, total value for money. Only dish i didn’t like was the cod (out of 12 that we got to try!)
SELENAOctober 17, 2014
ginataang kalabasa. cannot describe it in words other than utterly delicious. don't be fooled by "small plates" -- it ain't that small! #supernomz
Ryan WarrenderApril 26, 2018
One of the best spots in all of NYC.

Don't miss the pork jowl with Brussels sprouts or the green papaya salad. So good! Pretty generous portions, too.
Missy MackeyJune 23, 2022
Solid brunch, bottomless mimosas and good vibes. Both noodle dishes we had were good.
carla elaineFebruary 1, 2013
Get some sisig, the khao soi, coconut rice & a bottle of singha. Skip the micheladas unless you're into a hot sauce flavored cocktail.

Zak Pelaccio pioneered the western chef/eastern beats trend with his Malaysian-inspired Fatty Crab. The Fatty Crew has partnered up with Leah Cohen to drop Thai, Filipino, & Indian flavors on the LES. Read more

Great boozy brunch with $15 mimosas for two hours. Orange, lychee, mango, and peach flavors. Menu is equally great
M TNovember 21, 2012
Mussels good, pork jowl delish, crispy pata awesome, grilled curry lamb ribs come with yogurt n roti- delicious. Vietnamese coffee the best I've had.

Love the khao soi, papaya salad and coconut rice - but can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
Steve OAugust 16, 2014
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!
Sophia LiuOctober 26, 2014
Coconut rice is amazing- big portion (1.5-2x more than usual Asian rest. I'll come back only for this. Loved the adobo but not the grilled sirloin; thought it was too salty. A "good to try" place.
Zayed KhanFebruary 1, 2015
Sit at the bar if you can. Faces the open kitchen, and gives you an intimate view of the chef and her team at work.

Get the sisig with coconut rice -- a great combination of sweet and savoy. Don't forget the halo halo!
Jason BrewDecember 2, 2015
Definitely go with small plates and try a lot of things. I really liked the pork head with an egg
Ha DiemAugust 16, 2014
The small plates aren't at all small! Really good food and environment. Coconut rice pairs well with everything.
Amanda MillerFebruary 28, 2016
Great for brunch or dinner. Sizzling sisig, khao soi, jasmine rice and buns. Bottomless mimosas with brunch too 👍
David ElizandroJuly 30, 2016
Everything was great. Went for restaurant week. Had to take half the food home it was so much. Just means I get to enjoy it twice I guess.
VernaJanuary 15, 2015
$45/person for the tasting menu. It's basically a 6-8 course meal...and all of it is delicious. No reason not to do it.
ViajandolavidalocaOctober 10, 2017
Everything is good- musts: coconut rice, buns, Duck, beef noodles!!! Like mouthwatering good eats.

$15 for bottomless self serve Yuengling from the keg in the back garden.
Nitzan BJanuary 20, 2022
The brussel sprouts were burnt and just not good in general, the rest of the dinner was incredible. I could have drank the pork adobo sauce with a straw
Honghui YuApril 11, 2015
The sizzling sisig makes for a delicious savory breakfast, pair it with the garlic fried rice if you're really hungry.
