16 Fantastic Filipino Restaurants Around NYC
Epic family-style feasts, a casual sisig spot, and more places for a taste of Manila in NYC and New Jersey by Alexandra Ilyashov and Jasmine Ting Updated Aug 28, 2019, 2:46pm EDT
The Southeast Asian cuisine of the Philippines brims with distinctive sweet, sour, and meaty flavors and strong Spanish and Chinese influences that date back over five centuries. There’s pork galore from practically all parts of the pig, fermented fish or shrimp paste dubbed bagoong, seafood in sinigang (sour, tamarind-flavored broth), and smokily marinated, grilled meat. Yet it isn’t nearly as ubiquitous in NYC as other cuisines from the same region, like Thai and, to a lesser degree, Vietnamese fare. But the crop of Filipino spots around town don’t disappoint.
Some are in a stretch of Woodside near Roosevelt Ave. that’s known as Little Manilla, while Jersey City has a concentration of Filipino restaurants, fast food imports, and supermarkets, and the East Village has a number of options, too. At most of these places there’s sisig, a beloved pork dish incorporating myriad pig parts into one dish, complete with crackly skin and ear nubs (with lots of alternate takes, like milkfish or chicken). Another menu standard? Halo-halo, the whimsical shaved ice dessert dramatically layered with things like jackfruit, evaporated milk, nata de coco (coconut gel), crunchy rice flakes, and coconut flakes, topped with vibrant ice cream flavored with ube (purple yam).
Ahead, a dozen Filipino spots around town to hit up for barbecue, ube confections, and more.
