Josh HawkinsAugust 22, 2015Sisig and chicken adobo were perfect. Pork buns were fantastic. Service from Abby and Mel couldn't have been better. Highly recommend the dishes and the restaurant in general.
Rishi SatsangiNovember 18, 2014Aw man such a great neighborhood spot. The owners came and talked to us, the table next to us was super friendly. They ordered Kamayan!! We didnt. But it looked amazing.
Tatyana BogatyrevaNovember 10, 2012Ugly pork buns and ugly dumplings are must try! The asian style jumbo wings were also great - with a little kick! .. Also, pork belly entree is delish, and the grilled chicken!
Jeeleighanne DuboiusSeptember 30, 2017Yes yes the food is great, the atmosphere is festive and the staff just lovely. I couldn't get enough of the red horse beer. Really good
Ms HeleneMay 27, 2015Tuesday happy hour $6 wines and cocktails. Lychee martini, shrimp adobo where you can eat the whole thing, head and all $14.
Mariama RentoyAugust 22, 2014Authentic Filipino food! My favorites would be the pares, laing, isaw, and i forgit the other food's names. For the cocktails kalamansi martini and lychee martini are for the win! 😉
Dianne MMay 4, 2013If you're feeling like dancing to good hip hop music and don't feel like going into a crowded dance place (to where there is no space to dance) - then this is your spot! DJ on Fridays are legit!
Lori LuoSeptember 27, 2014The Filipino dishes here are their strong point, so be sure to get an order of the Sizzling Sisig (chopped pork, garlic, and chilies) and a side of garlic rice.
Pramod PaiMay 8, 2015Ugly Kitchen’s signature spicy marinated pork buns, ugly dumplings filled with fresh herb infused cheese and tomatoes, or fried spring rolls are a must try.. Read more
Jessica LeeNovember 13, 2017Food is super salty- especially the beef dishes. Reccommend trying the Longsilog sausages and also the salt & pepper squid.
Celena ChanAugust 13, 2015Great salmon and spring rolls. They also do a kamayan night here and supply gloves if wanted. Chill, open atmosphere,
super friendly wait staff. the isaw is a personal obsession, but most everything else is on point!
Great Filipino-influenced cocktails, esp. the calamansi whiskey sour and the lychee martini

NetsirkApril 10, 2016Is it really ugly? But I enjoyed the lechon kawali most. Happy hour until 8pm and local artwork on the walls.- CamJune 19, 2013Don't be fooled, the spring rolls ARE lumpia (and good), my bay homies would be proud I spotted that, lol
Can't tell from name, but this place makes authentic Filipino food. The sisig makes the grade. Order one now!
Michael IsraelOctober 25, 2013Really great spot. This is one of those international places that makes NY great.
Charlie NunezOctober 26, 2013Check in with a friend and you get free Ugly dumplings. They're freshly made and really good.
Katherine ChiuMarch 8, 2015Long silog can never go wrong. Pork belly was a but greasy but delicious. Appetizers not as good as entrees
rebecca dauerOctober 25, 2013Great happy hour and free dumplings if you sign into 4square with a friend!
DevontaAugust 10, 2012The Spicy Mango and Sour Mango Martini was NASTY but it was a cool environment. Don't know if I would try their drinks again.
- Joe DNovember 5, 2011The food (pork belly) was divine. The atmosphere, however, suuucked. I live around the corner and seriously can't ever go back again.
Fee ODecember 6, 2014Decent food, I liked their bistek alot, good chill spot to hang and have drinks.
Get the pork belly entree. Easily the best pork belly preparation I've ever had in my life.
Aditi LuthraSeptember 2, 2018Lychee martini was not good imo, friends gin cocktail was also not good. But nice that they have food options till 1 am!!
The MaharlikansApril 26, 2013Ask bartender Elly for the "weng weng" it will fuck you if, adios mothafucka!
MrsCorksterApril 21, 2018Space cadet server, dry food, terrible cocktail and no itemized check—just the bill. Spend your money at Pig and Khao.
