The only other time I'd been to a Filipino spot was years ago at Jeepney in NYC with Yelp friends…read morefor a UYE. I'm not claiming expert status on Filipino food because I'm nowhere close. But there are a few universal similarities with Latin food: rice, seafood (because I'm a pescatarian) and garlic- to name a few. Then there's their halo-halo dessert. So when Hapág Bistro popped up in my Yelp pages- in Highland, NY no less and conveniently close to work- I was in. Hapág is cozy the second you step in here. My eyes immediately went up to the ceiling where these folks have faux greenery+florals hanging across the space. It actually softens Hapág and adds a little "nature". I was here on a tight clock and didn't have time to sit down for a full meal. But while I looked at the menu at work, one thing immediately jumped at me: halo-halo. This thing is sweet. It's a sweet explosion of shaved ice, creamy ube goodness, jellies, fruit and leche flan tucked in like little treasures. Then comes the ice cream on top tying the whole shit together. Every spoonful is cold, creamy and sugary in the best way. Shoutout to my girl Danielle, who was super pleasant and had one of those smiles that totally makes the place feel even more welcoming. Next time I'll actually stay long enough to eat real food- but for a quick pop-in, Hapág came out on top with dessert alone.

Please read more on their website: "Update from us".

Those are commendable goals. We will be there to support you along the way. Please tell all your staff we appreciate all the grub and the community building. Busog na busog. Salamat po. - Very full.

It was a little out of my way, but heck what's a couple of minutes when you're driving for hours... WOW was the stop worth it! I didn't think I was going to make my pick up time because they closed at 7, but I made it with 10 mins to spare. The menu was a little limited (maybe because of time of day I ordered) so I got the Shrimp sinigang and vegetable lumpia. Another WOW. Amazing flavors on that lumpia!!! And the best vinegar dipping sauce I've ever tasted! (Sorry mom)... the shrimp sinigang was also incredibly flavorful with the freshest Okra, bitter melon, eggplant, bok choy, and tomatoes! Truly delicious broth! I have to say the shrimp were a little over cooked (I thought it would have shell on and head on still, they were peeled and I had to drive quite a ways before I could eat it so maybe they overcooked while I was driving). So many shrimp!!! The place was super cute, cozy (counter seating) , and clean! (Not like the weird mom and pop shops that you wonder when was the last time they cleaned the grill)... The fellow behind the counter was super nice too! I wish I was in the area more often to eat there! (I live in California! And this beats the fancy-pants elevated Filipino" cooking found in places like Napa, LA and San Francisco. Chee-bog if you ever open a place in Northern California can you tell me please? Or better yet, lmk and I'll open one for you in the area!!! The food was authentic, fresh, flavorful and inspired! Thank you sooo much!!!

Chef Champ greeted us and learned each guest's name and showed us how to properly grab the food for kamayan. We were encouraged to grab a drink from the fridge, and I had the calamansi. We feasted on chicken lumpia with Thai chili sauce, lechon with garlic vinegar, chicken inasal, sweet and sour snapper with rice, 3 types of sauces and fruit. And as a dessert, we had beautifully prepared halo halo. After the meal, Chef Champ explained the hand painted wall and the inspiration for the design. This was such a wonderful and cozy experience. I wish I lived closer to Troy so I could go back again!

Awesome place for delicious Filipino food! I drove here with three other friends, and we…read moreimmediately were greeted by the friendly and homey atmosphere of the restaurant. This place is unique--it's a catering business, but it sells plates of food, sort of buffet-style, for $6.50. I love how family oriented the business is, and we could read all their stories on the wall. In addition to the comfort of the atmosphere, the food was great too! You can pick either rice or noodles, and you can choose up to two main dishes of their many options. They cook chicken curry, chicken adobo, pork belly, meatballs, and more. All options smell so delicious, but I went with the chicken curry, chicken adobo, and rice. The plate is extremely cheap for what you get! The portions are large and filling, and it's a great experience to be eating there. There are not a lot of places to eat Filipino in Upstate NY, so I'd take advantage of this great opportunity to eat some delicious food! Overall, this is a unique, cute restaurant. It's a catering and choose-your-own-dish restaurant, and it's great to bring friends. Food is cheap, quality, and delicious! Will definitely be here again if in the area!

Unlike your average Mexican take on fried pig cubes, which get cut willy-nilly and tossed around indifferently, these are made with care from cuts of much higher quality. These are freshly fried, and perfectly fried golden, with none of that chewiness that comes from collagen just sitting around after being fried. You've got your fish sauce and your pickle-vinegar brine to add brightness to all that fatty goodness, and a liver sauce that tastes like apple sauce to bring you a sweet note. The longanisa with eggs is nice, but go for that lechon. Especially if you're an American who just stumbled into a Filipino grocery store in the boonies of Connecticut and don't know what you're doing. If you've never had fried pig cubes before, you may stride back into the parking lot a changed man.

I was looking at the prices for the dim sum, it seemed expensive. But, then I looked online for some of the places we used to go in Chinatown, New York, oriental grocers charged a little less than a lot of the places we used to patronize. When you consider they're doing all the work it's really a bargain! It was one thing when we would take the D train down to Grand Street and walk a couple blocks and load up; now it's major operation. I'm so glad they are still around. The owners are always very accommodating and helpful.

If you're like me and can't live without a variety of Asian goodies like tea and crackers, your jaw is bound to drop at the sights as you walk in. Sure, the aisles are only wide enough for one person to walk through straight on, but that's a small concession for what's on offer here. Their produce section is surprisingly extensive, there's even a seafood section, and it looks like they've finally revamped the hot food next to the front entrance. The staff at checkout here are always quick and efficient, and I'm grateful they're such a decent Asian supermarket in the Capital District to complement the wonderful Kim's and Jang Tuh. They have their own parking lot and we have come close to not finding a parking space here, but there's a constant flow of people coming and going, so we've never actually not found parking.
