Naks is a great "elevated" take on Filipino food. Despite being Filipino, we loved how each dish was explained and thought the flavors were super authentic to home. Snag a resy if you can and DEFINITELY add the Ube Cheesecake to your picks! Great table service as well. read more

Food- fantastic flavors from the appetizers to the entrees. Well presented and packed variations in flavor. Service- staff is fantastic from beginning to end. Chatted with a few of the staff about future visits maybe for lunch. They made great suggestions on choice since it was our first time. Ambiance- seating seems plentiful. Do expect to sit pretty closely next to others but it seems like a norm in NY. 5 stars! read more

The restaurant itself is cool with interesting and fun decor, definitely great vibes! The food is also amazing, with stand out dishes being the KFC and ube dessert. The only thing that brings my review down a star is service: our server spoke professionally and politely but she made us feel so rushed. She packed my adobo rice without even asking if I was still working on it and also brought the check without us requesting it. We were only there for a little over an hour; I know some restaurants have dining time limits (which I didn't see for Naks) but we definitely weren't there for an obnoxious amount of time that she should be rushing us like that. We've eaten at other Unapologetic Foods restaurants and never had this issue, hopefully it gets fixed in the future! read more

I was nervous walking into Naks not knowing what to expect. But this East Village spot certainly exceeded my expectations. My friend and I did walk-in like 2hrs into dinner service was able to get spot still the interior was cool, OPM playing the background and the staff were friendly. My favorite dishes were the Kare-Kare and the desserts. The Kare-Kare was the probably the best I have eaten dining at restaurant (nothing will ever compare to my Mom's). The ube cheesecake & leche flan were to die for! I feel like with the popularity of Filipino cuisine nowadays the desserts can sometimes be over saturated. I like how fresh the desserts and it was not overdone the original flavors were still there. I would love to go back to Naks next time in the NYC! read more

If you don't make reservations go early to get a seat at the bar! The service here is excellent - folks are friendly and welcoming with the ambiance fun and trendy. Food is sensational! We were food hopping so we ordered only the pork belly appetizer and the adobo rice. The adobo rice was mind blowing - it was my favorite dish of the entire day - and I'll try to recreate at home. It consists of garlic rice, chicken, pork belly, and hard boiled egg that is all mixed together in front of your eyes. It's extremely filling and they don't skimp on the protein. The pork belly was grilled very well with a sweet lemony flavor. read more

This review is for brunch. Second time here. My first time was soon after opening, when they still had a tasting menu going on--i thought the food then was overwrought, as were the stories. Came for brunch and man oh man it was good! 4.5 stars. Food rundown (five people) 1. Mango skewers--only a true Filipino who loves green mango and bagoong will like this. Obvi me and my bestie did like it. 2. Kare kare omelet--Listen. Their kare kare is one of the best. Not sure that the omelet needs to be there tho. 3. Crab omelet--Crab is nicely flavored (curry?) and generous. 4. KFC sando--the best! 5. Vinegar fries--tbh meh for me. the description of it on the menu is too cute by half, and we did not think the powder on it tasted like vinegar. 6. Side of longganisa--not sweet longganisa like we like but delicious anyway, especially with vinegar (you'll have to ask for the vinegar) 7. Side of beef tapa--MUST GET 8. the big Filipino platter. Hubs opted for "grilled eggplant" for his main--do not let that description fool you, it is just tortang talong. Well-executed tho--it has a sauce on top that is reminiscent of okonomiyaki 9. Salted egg pancakes--TRULY THE STAR. DO NOT SKIP. Also don't let the name turn you off. We did not really get any salted egg taste at all. It's just delicious pancake, buttery, creamy, syrupy, with crispy edges. Easily the best pancakes I've ever had in my life. Drinks at the table were: 1. Calamansi spritz--delightfully light. So light it didn't feel like I was drinking anything alcoholic, which is nice. 2. Para sa Paboritong Apo--the best cocktail on the table. 3. Several Unapologetic beers. I liked my rice lager but I'm a cheap date. The rest of the table did not like their mango and coconut beers too much. The service was outstanding. The staff was very attentive without being overbearing. read more

Our party of 9 had a great time at Naks having the Kamayan Feast. It is described as "A unique, hands-on culinary journey celebrating Filipino culture and cuisine." Prepare for a 15 course meal ranging from palate cleansing teas to chicken & pork and veggies to dessert. You will be eating a lot with your hands so I do not have great pictures from throughout the main meal. Our waitress Alex and the other waitresses that assisted were wonderful and described everything we were eating very well and were super nice! We had a 7:45 PM reservation but discussed it would be more ideal for an earlier reservation and a small breakfast if you do this Feast! Good experience. Thank you Naks! read more

Recommendations in order- Kare Kare Omelette, Salted Egg Pancake (though the name should be changed to Calamansi Coconut Pancake,) Crab Omelette. Others were enjoying the plates/silogs. A little while back, I went back to Naks with a group for brunch having gone for dinner twice and this is easily my favorite way to enjoy their food even though I think the dinner is excellent as well. The service was nice and always and we sat in the back area where they used to their kamayan tasting menu. They open at 11:30 and they're on Resy only and I would recommend it unless you get there right on time as they got quite crowded by 12:00. They have some fun brunch drinks as well such as an alcoholic take on Taho but I didn't get any drinks nor did anyone else. For main plates, I'll first highlight what will probably become the most popular which is the Salted Egg Pancake for $16 which had citrus butter and salted egg cream and the waitress asked us whether we wanted it with our entrees or as dessert which gave a clue to how sweet it was. The name is a bit of a misnomer as the salted egg flavor isn't particularly strong with it more adding an interesting color to the pancake and sauce but honestly I think this worked as I think too much salted egg would add a bit too much chalkiness to this dish. As per the parentheses, this was more of a citrus coconut pancakes due to the shredded coconut, orange zest, and calamansi and it was delicious. The pancake texture was super fluffy and the portion size was large as well. Just change the name and it'll be perfect and I compare it overall due to the citrus sweetness to the very popular one at the Golden Diner with a slight preference to this one. The group's favorite was the outstanding Kare Kare Omelette for $26 with braised beef cheeks, rich peanut stew, market vegetables, and garlic toast. The beef on top was super tender and it had a not so sweet peanut sauce being better or on the same level as the better Kare Kare I've had which has mostly been in Queens. Said garlic toast was garlic pandesal and it was a delicious very garlicky spin, though perhaps a bit rich. This was served with bagoong/shrimp paste of course as well which helped cut the richness and they gave us more which was appreciated. The eggs on the bottom were perfectly cooked being soft and fluffy. I would heavily recommend this and I think two people could share this as well as the pancakes below and have a really good meal. The other omelette we had was the Crab Omelette for $28 with slow simmered Dungeness crab, aromatic coconut sauce, and garlic toast. There was plenty of crab and the eggs were perfectly cooked again just like the other omelette. If the ginataang/coconut sauce had a spicy kick like in dinner, it would have been perfect. I found the garlic toast also went better with this dish as it was easier to top the toast/dip it in the coconut gravy. This was again really tasty overall and worth it for the price point again. For side dishes/small plates, we got two. The Vinegar Fries for $3 was listed simply as "you know what it is!" and arrived as a pretty large amount of fries which I think were topped with malt vinegar powder. The powder was a good idea as it added the vinegar sourness without reducing any of the crispiness from the proper cooked fries. They were tasty but I would recommend them for a group and not solo as I think the sourness would become overkill eventually. The Lumpiang by comparison consisted of crispy vegetables spring rolls. They're $3 each but at least they were massive compared to the usual lumpia shanghai being I would say three to four times bigger than average so I guess the price is fine. The outside was nice and crispy and they were clearly made fresh as they were extremely hot. The inside was a bit boring with more cabbage than anything else and I wish there was some other vegetable inside to add some more texture. This was served with habanero vinegar of course though it was in a dropper which was a fun Spin and it was nice and easy to add it to the spring rolls. Every review from my first one for this place has bumped up my rating and for good reason. I can imagine them becoming very popular for brunch soon and they definitely deserve it as well. The classic platters/silogs also looked tasty and I very likely will get that next time I go here for brunch. Mid 4. read more

The food at NAKS was impressive overall, with each dish offering something unique. Everything was enjoyed, though a few favorites stood out more than others. The service was also excellent. They came back multiple time just to check if everything was going well. The lechon platter was I one we lovedthe most. The pork was extremely crispy, but not in the typical blistered way. Instead, it had a smooth, delicate crunch, with rich fatty layers that brought so much flavor. Definitely a standout. The fried chicken wings came in next. Boneless and made with dark meat, they were juicy and easy to enjoy. That garlic aioli added a nice touch. The green beans were interesting. At first, they were hard to figure out, but the flavor grew on me. A mild coconut note lingered, and it worked in a subtle way. The crab was beautifully presented. It looked stunning, and the coconut curry sauce was pleasant, but the flavor didn't stand out as much. It felt more like a dish to admire than to crave. Definitely worth the visit, and another trip will likely be made -- especially for that lechon. read more

An upscale Filipino dining experience! Food (5/5): - We got the Kare Kare, Adobo Rice, Ginataang Alimango, Pancit Batil Patong, Inihaw na Liempo, and Leche Flan - All very solid choices! My favorites were the Kare Kare and the Ginataang Alimango. The latter dish had such a rich, decadent, crab flavor and the Kare Kare was super creamy and savory - Pancit Batil Patong had a nice citrus-y, limey flavor with an unexpectedly nice crunch from the chicharron - Leche Flan is a must. It was soooo dense, creamy, and rich. It wasn't too sweet either. We scooped up every piece. However, the portion they give you is very small (might be better if each person gets their own flan) - My biggest complaint about the dishes is the portioning. The portioning of the dishes seemed quite random. For example, the Kare Kare, which is one of the mains was quite small (as in maybe at most two people should share a main and those two people have to not be starving at all). So was the Alimango. However, the rice and noodles were bigger and more easily shareable. Service (4.5/5) - Good service Ambiance (5/5) - Great for groups - Great for catching up with friends read more

A friend and I have a long standing tradition of picking a new restaurant each time we got together. When I saw her in the summer she wanted to try a new Filipino restaurant and we decided to check out Naks. It's a slightly adventurous menu with items that even some Filipinos won't be familiar with. Even the staff who aren't Filipino struggle with pronouncing the dishes correctly. We ordered a bunch of things including the following: Pork BBQ Pritong Itik (Fried Duck) Pancit Batil Patong (egg noodles with beef) We also added a side of the Buro at Mustasa which is a type of fermented condiment, if you will. For drinks I tried the Parusang Hapon which translates to 'Japanese Punishment' - a drink made with miso infused Japanese whiskey, cognac, soy sauce syrup and sparkling yuzu. It was definitely an interesting drink but to me, it didn't quite hit the mark. I can see what they were trying to achieve, a complex drink that's savory and layered but it wasn't just well balanced. Also, the nori as garnish does not work. The food, overall was very good. I especially loved the fried duck as it had so much flavor and was tender but perfectly crispy on the outside. The pancit and the bbq were also both very good but both were very rich and we kind of wished the staff nudged us towards ordering a vegetable dish to balance it out. Still, I'd say the food was much stronger than the cocktails. For dessert, I forgot what it was called but we ordered something with coconut and sago and I liked the subtlety of the flavors. I think it may have been their take on a buko pandan if I'm remembering correctly and my friend and I both liked how they created a dessert that elevated the average buko pandan. TLDR; Lots of potential! Excellent food but cocktail program needs work. Service is on point and the vibe is a cool but casual Filipino American joint. read more

Food -Omg stumbled upon this gem while looking for pre-show food before an off broadway play in East Village. And what an awesome surprise and found it was Filipino by looking at menu outside with Kamayan on menu!! And both my friend and are Filipinas. HIDDEN GEM!! The food was so full of flavor better than any Filipino food I've had in while the waygu pancit with chopped up chicharrón topping so full of flavor!! And the pork bbq with a side of papaya salad garnish brings me back to home of . Cocktails menu so unique and strong !! Worth every $. Service top notch. Ambiance decor inside very colorful like the Filipino culture. One thing improve signage we thought it was graffiti and hard to read on clear plastic. Maybe a Philippines flag would help. read more

Came for the kamayan experience and loved it. Wide variety of entrees throughout the courses. It's a lot of food too, so come hungry. Very reasonable pricing/person as well. Favorite highlights: raw scallops and kinilaw na ubod (heart of palm/coconut ceviche) Extremely kind and knowledgeable service. I felt very comfortable asking anything, so this is the main reason I'm giving five stars. read more

"An unusual Korean addition" After an internal debate, well this place is well... fine. I came in with high hopes, drawn by its low-key vibe but it didn't quite hit the high marks for me. The food was decent, but nothing stood out as a "must-try." The tongue soup was well-cooked, the squid was nice and the portions were fair, though, and the presentation was nice. The service was polite but slow. Way too much talking. She went down a synopsis of almost every single time. Annoying. What's to cheer - refreshingly tasty and not sweet cocktails. Especially unusual in Korean food All in all, it's not a place I'd go out of my way for, but I wouldn't say no if a friend wanted to meet up there. Decent, but not life-changing. read more

we had a reservation of 4 and were seated right away. We were seated by the door though and the constant opening of the door makes the breeze comes in and it was cold! There is more space in the back. I grew up in SoCal, where you can easily find staple Filipino dishes, I was excited when I heard a new spot in NYC. Food was not bad but was not top notch as the hype says it is. But I guess for the lack of Filipino options in the city, this would be good. Portion is also pretty small. Most dish is good for one person. Our favorite is the bbq. Gulaman tasted really grassy. What makes Gulaman refreshing is the vanilla extract and the pandan, both were missing in the taste. Server was really nice. Overall if you're used to Filipino food. This place might be pricy for its taste. read more

Delicious Filipino fusion brunch!! Stopped by to check out their new brunch menu and left with stuffed bellies! The Kare Kare omelette was my favorite! Not only was the beef pieces super tender and smothered in the savory peanut based sauce, but also the egg was tender and paired well with the meat. The pancit batil patong was packed with umami flavors as well as a slight tanginess from the pickled onions. Noodles were on the softer side but worked well in contrast with the firmer liver pieces. Loved the heavy black pepper flavors! The salted egg pancake was tasty but different from what I expected. While I appreciated the orange citrus notes in the syrup, it overpowered the egg flavors and it was more egg than salted egg. The pancakes nevertheless were slightly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, perfect for soaking up the sauces! For desserts, the ube cheesecake came with a thick layer of light ube cream and the cake itself was more gelatinous. Ube flavors were great, especially with the crust composed of toasted coconut flakes. For drinks, the ooh-bae was tasty and was almost like an egg nog. Appreciated how cocktails were mini sized so you can try several or sample them all!! The decor was super cute with some abstract tropical vibes. Loved the backroom area cause it felt like a pseudo greenhouse. Also shoutout to the bumping Filipino hip hop playlist!! Staff were very friendly including the line cooks. read more

This was a fantastic meal. I was a walk in and waited over an hour but I loved it and will definitely come back to try the brunch menu. The flavors were so interesting and the server was helpful in making suggestions. I don't remember exactly the names of the dishes but I got an eggplant appetizer that was crunchy with mango salsa. I got a side of pickled papaya and I got a beef noodle dish with pork that the server mixed at the table for me. YUM read more

This Filipino restaurant serves food with a twist, and not truly the traditional Filipino taste. I don't mean it does not taste good, but would cater more for the general American palate. Servings are very small and for the price, it's not truly a good value for money. The service is great! Attentive and friendly staff and the place has a pleasant ambiance. For the money we spent here, I would rather have gone to a fancy hotel or restaurant. read more

We came here for brunch. The mushroom noodle tasted delicious with a little spicy kick. Dungeness crab omelette would taste better with rice as it is a bit salty. The garlic toasts came with it couldn't balance it out. The chicken in the KFC sandwich was good but we are not fans of vinegar fries. Didn't like that yellowish sauce. Eggplant platter was ok. Service could be better. Oh one of the tiny bathrooms was yikes. (Maybe dinner is better?) read more

New York is such a unique place, as you can get a high level of any cuisine from across the world (besides Mexican). It's like traveling when you can't travel. I randomly walked by Naks on my way home from work, and thought it looked kinda vibey. I did some quick research and saw that Naks offers a gastronomic tour of the Philippines, framed by the personal memories of the restaurant's Chef, Eric Valdez. I was sold right there, some real Bourdain energy. I'd also never had Filipino cuisine before, and I pride myself on the phrase "I'll try anything once." We sat down and opted to get the Kanto Fried Chicken, Pork BBQ, the garlic corn rice with uni, the dungeness crab, adobo rice, and the beef Pares soup. When the waitress was dropping items off, she would explain the context of every dish and how it was served in the Philippines. I love stuff like that. I thoroughly enjoyed everything but the corn rice with Uni, as idk, the Uni texture just throws me off. My favorite was the fried chicken and the dungeness crab. The chicken meat was so damn tender, and the crab went CRAZY. If I could only recommend 1 thing, it would be that crab. I straight up forget the name of this dessert, but it was so bomb. It reminded me of a really good butter cake. Butter cake is undefeated. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__ read more

Really enjoyed the crab dish - wish there were more of it! Everything else was fine but not sure I'd return. Some pieces of the duck were a little dry and I felt the beef noodles and too many onions (3 types), which overpowered the dish. I also found the meat in the noodles too hard and crispy, though I realize that's standard and my husband didn't mind. The cocktails are unique but strong - I got the first one - para sa paborito kong apo - and it was a little strong for my taste but not bad. read more

The bar was half empty when we walked in. Lots of empty tables as well. We sat at the bar; the barkeep was nice and welcoming. We ordered our drinks and appetizers. It was going good until the manager came and said we cannot stay because we have no reservation. In every restaurant, the bar is a first come, first serve place. I pointed to him all the empty seats; even stated that we'll leave when the people with reservations came. He said it's not possible. I said, "No, we are not leaving since we already ordered our drinks and food". There was no reason for what transpired. All the while we were there there lots of empty seats. He seemed to just abide what his iPad said and not make sane decisions as needed. We also got the feeling that they're trying to show some exclusivity and an aura of being busy; to make clients wait for a while before being seated. At the end of the day, it is about proper service. read more

So, I had brunch at Naks today, and it was fantastic. The place has this warm, cozy vibe with modern Filipino décor, and the Filipino pop/love song playlist was tastefully perfect--really added to the experience. Prices were fair for NYC, too. Service was great - the front of house team were very friendly and anticipated everything we needed. Food-wise, the sizzling Beef Tapa was on point, with a great tangy flavor, and the Daing was even better, especially with that pickled vinegar sauce. So good! The Champorado had a powdered milk topping, which I wasn't crazy about--would've preferred the traditional creamy version, but the rice was deliciously chewy. Tried the cocktail flight, and while all were good, the Calamansi Spritz and Kamandag were my faves. I'd go back just for those! read more

Naks is such delicious Filipino food! We had a reservation for 5 on a Tuesday. For 5, we shared everything and tried the following: - Kinilaw Na Ubod - Lumpiang Hubad - KFC - Ginataang Alimango - Pritong Itik half - Lechon Platter - Garlic Rice - Atchara This was plenty of food. Some things come with rice, but try the garlic rice! I'd highly recommend the Lumpiang Hubad, Ginataang Alimango, KFC, Pritong Itik and Lechon Platter. We ordered cocktails and mocktails, all of which were so inventive and really well priced. Don't skip the Taho for something sweet. A few of them taste quite boozy or savory, which were all fun :) I cannot wait to try everything else on the menu, and the weekend brunch. We sat in the back room, which had hand washing sinks. The interior is beautiful and so comfortable and vibey for a nice meal. Lovely service. read more

We felt very cared for by the staff, as they had no shortage of recommendations on the best dishes (and cocktails!) for us to try. The kanto fried chicken was so crispy and tender on the inside, and it instantly became my favorite dish! Other tasty options were the adobo rice and kare kare. We also ordered the pancit batil patong upon the recommendation of the server, though this was probably my least favorite option. And finally we finished off with the buko pandan, which was a tasty coconut filled way to end the evening. This is higher end Filipino dining and the prices reflect as such, but definitely would come back here again on special occasions! read more

Nak's in the East Village is the best Filipino restaurant which we've ever had the pleasure to dine at and takes inspiration across various regions across the Philippines, blending traditional flavors with experimentation. We came to experience the kamayan feast where diners eat with their hands on a bed of banana leaves. At 15 dishes, what a feast this was. We loved literally everything on the menu which makes it so hard to skim down our experience to a few highlights, but the pancit batil patong with wagyu (my all-time favorite comfort food), impossibly crispy and juicy lechon liempo, lemongrass accented Inihaw Na Manok chicken, creamy and fragrant Ginataang Gulay, and ginger-forward Sabaw bone broth that tasted exactly like how my mom makes it. The service was impeccable and we even left with a parting gift in the form of jars of fresh Minatamis na Bao (coconut jam). Overall this was incredible and a top 10 dining experience for us in NYC. Be warned this is an insane amount of food, so plan to starve yourself before coming here (take it from someone who nearly ate herself sick from all the food). We can't recommend this experience enough and think both Filipinos and those looking to try Filipino cuisine for the first time will love Naks as much as we did read more

I visited during restaurant week and had an amazing experience. The highlights were definitely the pancit beef noodles and the lechon.

It was incredibly creamy, silky, and indulgent. A morsel felt like a mouthful of flavor. read more

Great spot to try something different (for those of us who are non-filipino). Food was delicious, portions were good, and honestly I think it was reasonably priced given its quality and creativity. Lechon may be a bit steep at $85, but it is a beautiful dish with multiple components. Lechon also has a long preparation time. Beware, some dishes are heavy and contain ingredients like pork liver. This may not be for everyone so make sure to know what you are ordering ahead of time. The service was remarkable.
