This is the Momofuku of Filipino food, from a top chef runner up. Order the entire menu, especially the ribs, everything with pork, the coconut rice, and the sisig. Unlimited beers from a keg for $15.

Sizzling Sigig, Pork Belly Adobo and Ribs are favorites, but you can't go wrong with anything in the menu.
Rubén GarcíaOctober 28, 2017
Ideal for groups so you can try a few different plates, since there's a few really good ones. Can't miss: pork head, pork jowl, sirloin, crispy pata. Not as memorable: duck, beef noodles, octopus.
Emily WilsonJune 25, 2016
If they have them, the special crispy chicken wings made with coconut milk are 👌👌👌. Green papaya salad and Bun Bo Nam Bo are worth getting, and the sizzling sisig with coconut rice is a must.

$1 PBR 5-7p, delicious sizzling sisig, sick hip hop soundtrack. Skip the chicharron & go for the jowl -comes w/ chicharron paired perfectly w/ salty watermelon & pork cheek. Don't forget coconut rice!
Ranu RajkarnikarJuly 19, 2017
So delicious, the hype is real. Khao soi, sizzling sisig, ribs and coconut rice are all must haves. You really can't go wrong with the menu and don't forget to enjoy the fun atmosphere.
Marivic GFebruary 8, 2015
The pork belly adobo with the poached egg is a good small plate to start. Love the octopus salad with the hint of pickled jalapeño. Need to come back for the rest of the menu.
AlexJune 20, 2016
get the hainanese duck, the pork belly adobo, and the grilled pork jowl. simply incredible food. great service and nice ambiance. you can't really make a bad choice here.
Alex HennesseyOctober 18, 2016
Ridiculously flavorful. Unbelievable specials exclusive to the tasting menu, so do it. Coconut milk wings, pig head sisig, lo shu fun, khao soi, squash gnocchi w shrimp, etc etc. Everything SO good

A must for brunch. 15$ all you can drink mimosas and 15$ self serve all you can drink Yiengling! Also order family style if you're with a big group.
Melissa YuMarch 22, 2015
Shared the coconut rice, Kao Soi and Pork Belly Adobo with a friend and it was more than enough. Very thick, rich, spicy goodness. Can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu.
Rory ParnessMay 9, 2018
If you like pork and intense flavors, this is the place. Best bet is to load up on small plates. Jowls and Sprouts = tender pork jowls plus crispy spro uts. Add a spicy mushroom salad for variety
7th.ListDecember 1, 2012
On the menu try Grilled Curry Lamb Ribs($24) sweet-spicy curried lamb ribs that are falling-off-the-bone tender and ->balanced<- with a garlic-spiked yogurt and savory flatbread. Halo Halo for Dessert Read more
Marie RicherSeptember 16, 2016
I had an amazing meal here! Everything was so tasty especially the pork belly and the Brussel sprout dish. Also the halo halo was not too sweet and refreshing.
Liza FrybergerMarch 12, 2016
Full on flavors of the Khao Soi are out of this world. Pair the lively flavors with a solid light beer and be sure to have plenty of coconut rice on hand. This place is totally, mind-blowingly, good.
Cole KennedyFebruary 18, 2018
Absolutely worth any wait. For a group of four, we did one large plate and three small plates, but could’ve done one more small. Gotta get the duck, Bun Bo Nam Bo, Pork Belly Adobo, & Sizzling Sisig.
Uranium TVJanuary 6, 2014
I wasn't as blown away by The sissig (pictured w garlic rice) as reviews lead me to believe. It was tasty but fatty (as expected). The khao Soi was absolutely amazing! Drizzle it on the sissig ;)
Erin GApril 17, 2015
YUM. Amazing Thai & Filipino fusion food. If you're with a large group, go with the Chef's special so you can try as many things as possible. The Lower East Side cocktail paired perfectly as well.
dsinskyOctober 24, 2014
Like the bubba gumps of pork: pork ribs, pork jowl, pork belly, pork sausage, pork head... its all great. Also get the $15 serve-yourself all you can drink yuengling, the coconut rice and the dorade
Marie La RueSeptember 12, 2021
Filipino & South East Asian cuisine mixes with hip hop tracks at this lively restaurant. Spicy and tasty food come in large portions. Good for pre-gaming. Younger crowd.
Carol LeeMarch 3, 2015
The sisik was delicious and so was their mango salad. Must get the garlic fried rice to top it off. It's only a bowl so you may want to order two (or more!) if there's more than two of you.
ArtJonakMarch 19, 2013
Eat lots of pork, marvel at the crazy flavors! Sizzling Sisig sunny-side up egg atop pile of sizzling, glistening pork head, mix together = delicious harmony. Gr8 with coconut rice. Leah Cohen rocks!
Noah WeissDecember 22, 2018
Awesome brunch with no waits. Banh xeo and chili pan new both great. Forget eggs Benedict and go for Laotian.
Peter BoyceAugust 16, 2015
Khao Soi, Shan Noodles, Papaya Salad, Coconut Rice
Kiwi WangJanuary 28, 2022
All the good tummy feels. Khao Soi noodles obviously a winner- very rich and authentic, duck with crispy sticky rice was incredible too.
DevontaJune 13, 2016
You usually can't go wrong with Bottomless Mimosa and plus the food is amazing. Try the Khan Soi and Garlic Friend Rice.
Auri GhatakDecember 22, 2015
Love this place! The ribs, coconut rice, adobo pork belly and the Khao soi are all winners. Wash it down with a Hitachino ginger beer that complements the food perfectly.
Alex HennesseyOctober 18, 2016
These wings are some of the best you'll ever eat. There's coconut milk and a slew of I-don't-know-what and they're delicious
Djaniella D.January 30, 2015
Pork sisig, pork belly adobo, and crispy pata are a few classics in the Philippines, and they did a great job putting their own twist in these signature dishes!
StaceyOctober 2, 2016
bottomless mimosa brunch is the way to go (there's also a bottomless yuengling draft option). reservations recommended, it's small.

This is a go-to spot when my friends come to visit. Sisig, Crispy Pork Belly Adobo, Chicken Wings, and Coconut Rice to top it off for the epic MEAT SWEATS.
Erica DeChavezMay 23, 2015
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 that i can devour it all without feeling sick.

Pig and Khao feels like a friendly, hip Lower East side backyard, complete with a serve yourself keg and some tasty Latino cuisine. Read more
Zayed KhanFebruary 1, 2015
The sizzling sisig is a must, and while it is a bit too salty like most versions of this dish tend to be, it is otherwise really well seasoned, and pairs perfectly with a side of coconut rice.
Veronique VFebruary 7, 2013
Great (semi) new spot in the LES. Ambiance is chill and familiar, while food was interesting and delicious. Lamb ribs were the winner for us; spicy, intensely flavored while not being too heavy.
Brooklyn UnitedJune 19, 2013
Filipino and Thai fusion served as small plates. Interesting flavors! We highly recommend the quail wings and the crispy red curry rice. Good to go with a group and share a bunch of plates.
Charles BApril 10, 2013
Leah (of Top Chef season 5 making out with ultimate unworthy winner Josea fame) is kicking ass at one of my favorite new LES spots. 2 words: pork. jowls.
Natasha AJanuary 26, 2013
Fantastic thoughtful flavors. Khao soi a must and really not a small plate as advertised. Rich and delicious. Loved the mussels with delicious pretzel-like buns. Also must have the quail adobo!
David HuApril 26, 2014
Sizzling sisig is the way to go here. Comes out on a sizzling plate and you get to mix an egg into the dish. Delicious AND fun!
Laura ChinMarch 23, 2014
Sizzling sissig is a must. All the best parts: chewy pig's ear, crunchy skin, and fatty delicious pork topped with a sunny side up egg. Devour over coconut rice.

One of the best meals I've had in a while! Everything is great. Try the pork jowl and crispy rice salad. My favs were the sisig and lamb ribs. We almost licked our plates clean!

We bring our out of town guests here quiet frequently and the pork jowl over brussel sprouts is always a favorite. I also love Chef Cohen's version of halo halo.
Justin OrdovezaAugust 8, 2014
The best Halo Halo I've had in the states. Simple clean and without all the fillers like beans. All the best elements of a halo halo in one bowl.

One of the best meals outside of Asia I've had in the US. Adding this to my go-to list of awesome, unassuming restaurants in NYC. Get the sirloin and the coconut rice.
Connie ChiuDecember 7, 2014
Pork jowl, pork sissig, and the curry! So delicious. Also do the bottomless mimosa for $15. They have lychee flavor :)
Mauricio A.August 27, 2016

You can split a Coconut/Jasmine Rice between two people. No need to go crazy. Even the small plates will fill you up.
David HoltzDecember 31, 2016
Everything was REALLY good. My ranking of what we got: pork jowl > papaya salad > sizzling sisig > wings > khao soi. The Mr. Horchata was also great!
Sarah LambertDecember 29, 2012
A+ Asian hipster fusion. Get the Russ & Daughters smoked salmon chips, crispy rice salad, the noodle small dish (starts with a K), and the grilled curry lamb ribs. Fullness awaits
AmateurConciergeAugust 4, 2014
It's all about choosing the right dishes here. Mussels were great, esp with some coco rice. Chicken in the mango salad was a bit chintzy, khao soi quite heavy.
Elizabeth BursteinNovember 12, 2021
Sisig, curry fish, ribs, pad see ew, mushroom salad. Cilantro soda w gin interesting but skip the tropical drink v sour.
