    Tapsilog

    Ambiance (5/5): I loved the decorations with the large plants, ceiling lighting into the back seating, and plenty of space between tables. The music was a nice touch too. It was not loud that we enjoyed our brunch in the semi-private dining towards the back. Service (4/5): There was two staff members floating the restaurant while brunch also included AYCD beverages so understandably more attention required. They were busy enough that service was okay. Staff members were super helpful and friendly. Dynamite (4/5) - the serrano pepper isn't as hot as a jalapeno so the bites were tolerable. It was stuffed with melted cheese so it was warm and creamy. Kinilaw (Tuna Ceviche) (3/5) - the fish was fresh but I wasn't picking up much flavors in the sauce Sinigang Wings (4/5) - the dry rubbed wings were marinated through which was tasty. Our order was overcooked which made the meat a bit dry. If it wasn't overcooked, it would've been my favorite of the small plates. Lumpia Shanghai (5/5) - I liked the thinly wrapped pork spring rolls which had a nicely flavored ground pork on the inside. Each bite complemented well with the sweet chili sauce. Lechon Kawali (Crispy Pork Belly) (4/5) - the pieces were massive and full portion for the price! I thought that the crunch was perfect and mix of fat was the right amount for a twice cooked pork dish. It is common for this dish to not be submerged in sauce, rather sauce on the side. The flavors were further complemented with the sauce. Tapsilog (3/5) - While the flavor of the pork was good, the bits of caramelized pork were too small. The overall portion of the dish was also tiny ($18). Otherwise came with 2 over easy eggs and a bowl of rice.

    I forgot the name of it but it's close to lomi.

    Astoria, NY Customer service- welcoming. Ambiance- it can get crowded but it was fine when i went there with a friend. Clean as well. Bathroom- clean. Food- over all it was okay. Could be better though. Lumpia- i can taste the pinoy style homemade lumpia. Loved it! This i can recommend for anyone to try. Mami soup in the photo-- it was a bit bland and not the texure that i was expecting. I was expecting it to be silky, slightly gooey consistency and the umami.

    Came here for dinner with a group of friends. We were seated in the back area. The interior was lovely and rustic. There was a cozy atmosphere to the place. We ordered everything to share, including Lunpia, Truffle Fries, Garlic Rice, Pork Belly Kare-Kate, and Pan Fried Tilapia. The Lumpia was long and thin, satisfyingly crispy, with plenty of yummy pork filling. Truffle Fries had plenty of truffle taste, along with Parmesan and spices on top. Garlic Rice was perfectly cooked and full of bold flavor. The Pork Belly was delightfully tender with a nice crunch. The Tilapia was pan fried in coconut cream, served with green beans and tomatoes. Tilapia was wonderfully succulent, flaky, and well seasoned, while the cream sauce was light and paired beautifully with the fish, as well as the veggies. For dessert, we tried the Nutella Lava Cake with Ube ice cream and the Halo Halo of course. The Nutella Lava Cake also came with strawberries on the side and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. The cake was oozing with irresistible, warm, sweet Nutella filling. Ube ice cream was creamy and tasty. The Halo Halo was shaved ice chock full of jackfruit, flan, ube ice cream, and rice cakes. This made for a delicious treat with unique textures and tastes. Service was solid. Our waiter was welcoming and understanding. We were well taken care of throughout our time here and everything came out in a timely manner. I would be open to returning and would like to try the Shrimp Pancit and Skirt Steak.

    It seems like 3rd times the charm here because my dinner this time was delicious. Pork belly kare kare: delicious pork with delicious peanut butter sauce with tons of veggies. The thing though is that this is incredibly rich and fatty, and there are 5 long pieces. You have to share this dish to enjoy it fully. Lechon: also good, and not as fatty, so you can earn more of it. They come with 2 sauces, a sweet chili type and another one that's deeper and more viscous - liked this sauce more. Beef stew: had this again and would get again. Tender beef and has a sweetness to it. Chicken mami: more of a chicken noodle soup vibe that you'd get if you were sick; blander but seems intentional that way Lumpia: comes as 6, and very hot and crispy. My favorite appetizer so far. The truffle fries were decent but not a must get by any means. The cucumber calamansi is very forward with the cucumber but refreshing. The Filipino lemonade was refreshing and you can ask for it to be on the less sweet side which we did.

    I didn't know what Barkada meant before coming here, so I had to look it up. It's a Filipino word for a group of friends. In that sense, the concept makes sense and the vibe check too. The bigger issue was the lack of structure when we arrived and tried to get seated. There should really be a clear greeting and a system in place like, "let me take your name and we will call you when a table opens up." Instead, everyone seemed confused about what to do once there needed to be a waitlist. We put our names down and no one even called us. After waiting, we went back to the restaurant and noticed how there were open tables. As for the food: we ordered the sinigang wings with were tasty and probably the highlight. The chicken inasal, however was very small for Its price point. For myself I had ordered the pancit with shrimp, but it lacked flavor so I had to ask for hot sauce for more flavoring. Also tried the Nutella lava cake, which was too rich for my taste. Overall, nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out either. With better service, training amongst the staff and changing up their menu this place could be much better.

    The waitress was super sweet and helpful in making recommendations. The food was yummy and filling, with ample options to choose from in regard to meat, fish, and vegetarian options. We can't say that the particular entrees we tried inspired bold, visible Filipino flavors ... but they tasted good nonetheless and small businesses are doing their best. Desserts are 10/10!!!!

    Ambiance: 5 star. Lively on a Thursday night. A large group was singing karaoke. Food: spring roll was excellent. Crispy, and the meat inside is tasty. Kare Kare, the pork skin is very crispy The shrimp paste goes well with the pork belly. Skirt steak is ok. I doesnt have much taste to it. I also didn't like the drinks either. Service is good, they checked on us to ask us if everything is ok. The waitress even offered us to sing karaoke, which my wife and I politely declined. It was a fun night after a stressful day at work.

    I am SO happy to have a Filipino restaurant in Astoria! The owner and the staff are all wonderful! Conveniently located near Broadway subway station. There are plenty of table seats inside, plus bar seating and enough space to accomodate large groups. Some nights there are karaoke and there are other events here including live music, plenty of TVs to watch sports. I have been coming here since they first opened and have brought friends and family here. This visit I brought Filipino cousins visiting from out of town. 3 of us orderer food to share, then a couple others joined us later for drinks. It was still happy hour when we arrived. We each started with an Ube Espresso Martini and then later I switched to a Manila Mule. To start we shared: Sinigang Wings (I try to have these any time I'm here! Delicious sinigang inspired flavor dry rub) Lumpiang Shanghai Then shared mains: Beef Kaldareta Pork Belly Kare Kare And sides: Garlic Bok Choy Garlic Rice They loved the food and drinks and we even had some leftovers.

    Super yummy Filipino food in Astoria. My favorite was the mushroom adobo, which had a great sauce. But the pork belly was also delicious. The lumpia spring rolls were okay; I couldn't taste the filling that much, but they were at least very crispy. We had a reservation for Friday evening, but it was pretty empty and you'd be able to walk in.

    My mom, cousin, aunt and I came here last night for a belated bday dinner. This was on my list for a while. So lovely to see Filipino representation in Astoria. Chef Giemay is amazing. Her restaurant aims to introduce the community to traditional Filipino cuisine while incorporating flavors of other cultures in the food. Everything we ate was 10/10! We had the kale caesar salad with chicken, sinigang wings, pork bbq skewers, kwek kwek, pancit, kare kare, lechon kawali, and lumpia. I think my faves were the pork bbq and kare kare. My cousin and mom enjoyed the ube espresso martini and calamansi margarita. I dont drink anymore, but they both looked good! We had flan, lava cake and ube tres leches for dessert. I was literally obsessed with the ube tres leches and will def have that next time we go! This is a really cozy place to go with family and friends and I definitely recommend!

    Tasty food, great service, and a nice quiet ambience. I came for an early Friday dinner around 5PM and got seated quickly. Their happy hour deal was still on with cheap prices on drinks (no apps). We got the lumpia and pork BBQ skewers to start, which were both and came with nice tart sauces. The beef stew was good but nothing crazy, also a bit small for a main but worth the price. The garlic rice didn't look like much but was surprisingly fragrant. And of course we couldn't end the meal without the halo halo, which was sweet and creamy with so many textures (my fave part was the flan). Overall a wonderful meal and would definitely come back!

    Got a dinner Groupon for 2. The service was great. The Groupon came with a choice of a $30 or less bottle of wine. I chose the Chardonnay. It was exceptionally good and paired well with my delicious Pork Belly. It also came with a desert to share. I ordered the lava cake and ube Ice cream. & the ambiance was great for a date night.

    Barkada is a new Filipino restaurant in Astoria serving modernized Filipino cuisine. We went on a Friday night, and there was a live band -- fun vibe but definitely loud, so if you're planning to chat, maybe pick another night. From the outside it looks small, but it's surprisingly spacious inside. The servers were super friendly, and Jamae (who I assume is the manager or co-owner) was wonderful -- very attentive and personable. We started with the kinilaw, sinigang wings, and truffle fries. The kinilaw (Filipino ceviche) was a pleasant surprise -- fresh fish, coconut milk, and a nice kick from the peppers. Delicious! The sinigang wings were crispy and flavorful, though I didn't quite get the sour sinigang taste. The truffle fries were tasty and full of truffle flavor. For entrées, we had the kare-kare pork belly, kaldereta, garlic rice, and fried chicken. The kare-kare was my favorite -- rich, savory, and paired well with the pork belly. The kaldereta had decent flavor but could've used more gravy and a bit more tenderness in the meat. The garlic rice was a bit sticky and hard, not my favorite texture. Unfortunately, the fried chicken was undercooked -- bloody inside and on the plate. We were really looking forward to it, so that was disappointing. The staff handled it well, offering to replace it or bring another dish, but it did dampen the experience a bit. Jamae was very apologetic and even sent over two calamansi-tequila shots as a kind gesture, which we appreciated. For dessert, we had the ube lava cake (chocolate cake with ube ice cream). The cake was dry and not really "lava," but I appreciated that they still honored the order even though it was no longer on the menu. Note: it contains nuts or pistachios, so be careful if you have allergies. For drinks, we tried the calamansi margarita and ube espresso martini (I had mine on the rocks -- could've used more ice). The calamansi margarita was refreshing, but the ube flavor in the martini didn't really come through. Overall, service and vibe were great, food had some hits and misses, but I'd definitely come back with friends or family to try more dishes. You can tell they really care, and I'm excited to see how they grow!
