Sisig, curry fish, ribs, pad see ew, mushroom salad. Cilantro soda w gin interesting but skip the tropical drink v sour.
The Wall Street JournalMay 2, 2013
Try the sisig, a typical Filipino dish made with pork head. Less adventurous options include longanisa sausage or sizzling corned beef hash with garlic fried rice. Read more

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.

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!
Simon SteadmanApril 30, 2017
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.
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
DoubleDeuceSeptember 3, 2017
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!
Sarah ArnoldMarch 5, 2014
Get the cod in banana leaf, pork jowl with Brussels, and multiple sides of coconut rice because it's just that good. And don't forget to pay with Cover!

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.
Valentine AgbenuMarch 16, 2013
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
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, not too sweet.
Cameron GidariOctober 26, 2016
Coconut rice is life. Loved the pork belly adobo. The Khao Soi is my favorite dish on the menu.
Hamish LeeMay 11, 2018
Crispy pata was great! 😊 I did expect a massive serving but it was just the right size for my appetite
Hamish LeeMay 11, 2018
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.
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.
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!
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.
Bill MagnusonSeptember 10, 2021
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!
Neil CartySeptember 13, 2015
Must try the Sisig (sizzling pig head), ribs and coconut rice. Also go for the curried chicken wing special if it's available.
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
Pooja RadiaApril 5, 2013
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.

$15 for bottomless self serve Yuengling from the keg in the back garden.
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!
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.

Get the sisig with coconut rice -- a great combination of sweet and savoy. Don't forget the halo halo!
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!
stephiedooAugust 13, 2015
Of course the sisig but I also highly recommend the pork jowl with fried brussels sprouts.

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

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.

Don't miss the pork jowl with Brussels sprouts or the green papaya salad. So good! Pretty generous portions, too.

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
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.
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.
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.
T ZAugust 20, 2018
Absolutely every dish is incredible here. Have had almost every item on the menu and it’s all blow your mind delicious!
Zayed KhanFebruary 1, 2015
Cocktails here are on point. The "FTP" tastes like an alcoholic liquid apple pie. The cilantro soda with gin is a perfectly refreshing summer drink.
Damon SununtnasukJanuary 23, 2017
Great boozy brunch with $15 mimosas for two hours. Orange, lychee, mango, and peach flavors. Menu is equally great
K MSeptember 25, 2016
Coconut rice is perfect. Khao Soi was amazing. Also had a snapper special that was yummy but smaller than expected.
SteveJanuary 6, 2016
Everything is good here. I had the ribs and papaya salad and they were amazing.

This place is great. If you have a nut allergy like me you have to tell them, half the menu has nuts in it :(
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!)
Jason BrewDecember 2, 2015
Definitely go with small plates and try a lot of things. I really liked the pork head with an egg
Amanda MillerFebruary 28, 2016
Great for brunch or dinner. Sizzling sisig, khao soi, jasmine rice and buns. Bottomless mimosas with brunch too 👍
Lais SchefflerAugust 27, 2017
Coconut rice, barbecue ribs, pork with egg noodles and the desert with rato ice cream!
Kristina RudicMarch 4, 2016
This place is delicious. Ask the waiter for their favorites and decide from there. Even the rice is superb.
Ha DiemAugust 16, 2014
The small plates aren't at all small! Really good food and environment. Coconut rice pairs well with everything.
Cheney TsaiFebruary 4, 2013
Sizzling siding with coconut rice is mouthwatering and the px puko with sherry and whiskey bitters comes with a sugarcane in a freaking coconut
Garima KapoorMay 12, 2015
The half chicken inasal, sizzling sizig, and Shan noodles are incredible. Definitely go for the bottomless beer
