Great food and atmosphere. Matthew our waiter was very attentive and cool. Pork belly adobo was amazing and overall the food was really flavorful and spicy. We did the 50 dollar family deal and got 2 smalls a noodle dish and the crab curry. Great bang for the buck. Drinks were good too. Smashmouth cocktail is the go to here. read more

Cool, buzzing place with awesome service and wonderful food! Ray at the front was so welcoming and nice. We arrived early for our reservation on a Saturday and he sat us immediately at a table and was nice enough to charge my phone. We had been out all day sightseeing so this was super helpful. We had Jacquedda as our server - another very sweet and helpful person. She made recommendations that really helped us out and we enjoyed everything she suggested. The mocktail she recommended - the Beauregard - was one of the best I've had. As a non-drinker, it's nice to find n/a drinks that are special. We were a party of three and did the family meal. I will say, it was a ton of food, we boxed up what was remaining and gave it to someone at the subway since as out-of-towners, we knew we wouldn't be able to eat it later. So the amount you get is well worth the $ but for the 3-4 portion, better to have 4 people so as to not waste, or just be sure you can take it home or give it to someone. The shrimp, the coconut rice, the crab fried rice and the khao soi (curry noodle dish) were our faves. All of them bursting with various flavors. The whole fish was tasty, had crispy skin, but I'm not one for picking out small bones. The chicken wings were huge - I wish they were Wingdings so we could have more skin and less meat, but some, or maybe most, might appreciate the meatier wing size. This place was great. I highly recommend trying it as a casual, fun place to dine. The music was also a vibe. read more

I was such a fan of this place - service is phenomenal, somehow it's not too crowded where you're waiting for a table / need a res but it's still lively, and the food slapped. You can get the $50 family meal (which seems to be a great deal) but we opted to order a la carte. - Chili pan mee: this is a dry noodle and since it said ramen noodle, I was expecting the cheap instant ramen but instead these noodles were much better quality and tasty. This reminded me flavor-wise of many southeast asian / Singaporean noodles and I loved the little fried anchovies. Alternatively, my boyfriend described it as similar to a pasta ragu sauce. - Sizzling sisig: make sure to squeeze all of the lime! this does have pig ear with some cartilage in case you're not into that. However, I would totally recommend. None of the flavors are too strong, meat is well seasoned, and it comes out hot with a raw egg. - The coconut rice: so good that my boyfriend and I wanted more. It comes with the meat plate. I would get this over jasmine. read more

P&K delivers every single time. Five very hungry diners took on the family meal (4 appetizers, 2 noodle/rice dishes, and 3 meat/fish plates) and we still ended up gloriously stuffed. The ribs were so tender they practically resigned from the bone. The liempo had that perfect char and came with a tangy dipping sauce that should probably win an award. Honestly, I could go dish by dish, but the truth is everything is fantastic--and that's only half of P&K's magic. The other half is the service team. Mike, Matt, and Ray treat us like family in the best possible way: warm smiles, genuine hospitality, and attention to every little need. This crew is the real deal, and they're a huge part of why we keep coming back. read more

I bookmarked Pig and Khao on Yelp about a year or so ago because I saw it on GMA I think. I mean, what a clever name! And also, I love noodles, and rarely get a chance to enjoy Filipino food. Now that I finally made it there, im mad it took me so long! Def on my faves list. The vibe is funky: colorful and culture infused decor, old school hip hop in the background, multiracial/ethnic and fun and friendly staff, fast paced but not chaotic energy. We were flattered when our server (one of the twins!) told us that we matched their vibe. I guess our excitement and enthusiasm about the whole experience was clearly evident. We truly felt special from the service we received from the staff. And the food? Oh come on! Bring me more! Don't stop! Every morsel was delectable. I HIGHLY recommend the family meal. For two people we got two small plates, a noodle dish, a choice of jasmine or coconut rice, and a meat/fish entree plus a choice of Ube soft serve or piggy back shots. Great value, plus variety for the greedier palates like ours. Servings are ample, so we boxed up half our meal for home. Can't WAIT to return (and after 8pm since we're told the vibe amps up a notch or two then). Thanks Pig and Khao friends for treating us so swell! read more

Looking around for a brunch spot, that didn't have us waiting over 45 minutes for a table, we went to a couple spots until we found Pig and Khao. Once inside we realized is an Asia fusion place and were excited to try something new. We were able to get 4 spots at the bar, get some drinks and look at the menu. I ordered a mimosa with guava juice which was refreshing and a generous pour. And got to try their Bloody Mary, which is made with their own pickle juice that has a good kick to it. Talking about kick, make sure you ask what is spicy on the menu before you order, if you can't handle the heat. Some of their items, like the breakfast sandwich, although delicious in flavor, was too spicy for some of us to enjoy. Apart from that, we enjoyed everything else. The spam, eggs and cheese roti was a fun dish to try and the hashbrowns it comes with were perfectly crispy. A must try is the garlic rice. Our bartender recommended it and we all were very glad we ordered it. We enjoyed our experience at lot, but one star off for the extra spicy dishes and because can see picky eaters having a hard time finding something to order. So, make sure you come with open-minded friends and hungry, the Spam dish I ordered was in the small plates part of the menu and it was a full meal. read more

The original LES location closed, but this one still hits. Great for a casual dinner with friends or a date. Go family-style--trust me, you'll want to try a few things. And the sizzling sisig? Non-negotiable. Best thing on the menu. read more

Last night we didn't just have a meal at Pig and Khao, we had an experience and not just any experience. We had an amazing experience that was filled with the most delicious, uniquely crafted food and the most dedicated, accommodating and fun staff I ever encountered. When we arrived we were greeted by Ray's big smile. Throughout the evening, Matthew, Michael and many others made sure we had everything we needed and more. The cocktails were unique and beautiful and delicious. Now on to the food, amazing. We had ingredients and flavors we never tasted before and it was an explosion in our mouths. We opted for the 3-4 family meal (there were 4 of us) and the food just kept coming out. From the whipped tofu spread with roti to the decadent desserts each dish surpassed the last one. The pork belly was cooked perfectly, crispy skin, tender pork and the sauce I could drink on its own. The Khao Soy noodles in the red curry sauce was a dish you didn't want to stop eating, but we had to save room for everything else. The crab fried rice had an abundance of succulent crab. The fried whole fish, holy "Khao", was the best dish. Crispy outside, tender fish, basil Thai sauce was so flavorful. It was the last dish that came out but we managed to finish it. We did have some leftovers so I'm excited to have an amazing lunch today. The vibe of the restaurant is exciting, everyone is happy to be there including diners and staff. We will be talking about our meal for years to come. I can't wait to go back. read more

An excellent find! we were going to another place this past Saturday for a bite, but they were closed. As we were on our way to the upper west side while in the car I looked ahead for spots that were highly rated but not busy. Pig and Khao came up, so we went. We walked in and I was happy, for us, that it wasn't busy at the moment. We got spots at the bar, which paid off right away. The server there had our waters and menus over immediately. Being a breakfast sandwich guy, and they had one, I jumped on that. They let me sub in the garlic rice, which the bartender recommended. Meanwhile he made a Bloody Mary that had its own Vietnamese spice. After the first taste i was diggen it. The sandwich was fantastic. Too spicey for my friends but I really liked it. And the garlic rice was solid as well. It wasn't our original plan for brunch, but I'm glad things worked out that we stopped in to Pig and Khao. read more

This review is long overdue. I've been eating at Pig and Khao for the past 7 years, going back to the original LES location, and I can honestly say I've loved just about every dish they've put out. Some of my early favorites still live rent-free in my mind: the choo chee fish, the Brussels sprouts, the Hainanese duck, the pork belly, and the coconut rice. Each dish is packed with flavor, bold, comforting, and consistently memorable. Pig and Khao has also been more than just a restaurant for me--it's been a place where I've celebrated so many of life's moments over the years. Birthdays, gatherings, casual dinners with friends... it's one of those spots that always delivers and always feels special. Seven years in and it's still a favorite. If you haven't been yet, you're missing read more

The food was to die for! Matthew was so accommodating and despite being so busy, he and the team Made time to continue refilling the unlimited coconut rice whenever we requested and were ready for the next round. We did the family meal for 3, and for the price I do have to say it was well worth it. Sisig and kalabasa were our favorite. Its such a vibe and great music for a neighborhood type resto on UWS. Would definitely come back. Ube soft serve at the end is so good. I suggest as a big group, take advantage of the family meal that comes with apps , meat/fish dish and noodles and rice, along with unlimited jasmine or coconut rice and dessert at the end. read more

This restaurant is an amazing find. We were seated at the bar per request and we ordered drinks to start off. The Duck L'orange and Make me a bicycle were very good and the bartenders are very skilled. Every dish we ordered was a hit. Even the ones we didn't order seemed great because you can tell by the aroma of the food as it passed you by. Each one of us had a different favorite, crab fried rice, Chili Pan Mee, Short Rib. We ordered the family meal style... and although it was pricey, we felt that it was worth the amount of time we spent there and the fact that we were stuffed by the time the meal was done. The restaurant itself is a bit small, but it kind of fits the vibe. We were served drinks and food at the bar so service was excellent for us. read more

This place was amazing! Starting off, we got the Pork Belly Adobo which had the crispiest skin but still the more was tender and juicy. The adobo flavor mixed in with the poached egg wasn't overpowering and complimented the pork so well. The Crab Fried Rice is made with bug chucks of crabmeat and the sauce on the side is the perfect amount of spicy and tangy. The Clay Pot Spare Ribs were superrrrr tender. The sauce was also so delicious and I kept finding myself going back and dipping the ribs in the coat it. Now, the Moo Ping Roti Plate was next level. I would go back just to eat this dish. A taco using roti was already super inviting and even though it was hard to eat, the juicy and sweetness of the grilled pineapple, the perfectly marinated pork, the crispness of the chicken and the freshness of the red onions, this "taco" was absolutely PERFECT. Right when I took a bite I told my fiancé that nothing else was going to beat this bite for the night. For drinks we got the Ghostbuster which I thought was super refreshing and my fiancé got the Duck L'Orange which did seem a bit intimidating but he really enjoyed it. Finally, we finished off with some Pineapple Soft Serve on the house and it was the perfect ending to the meal. I love having something sweet at the end of my meal so I was really happy. The service was great, all of the servers were super friendly and the vibes of the restaurant were nice too. It was definitely more on the modern side with the type of music and the dimmed lights which I thought went perfect with the meal. read more

Tight space but excellent food and good value. We sat at the bar where the seats were very close together, but it was ok and always fun being able to watch them work in the kitchen. It is a trendy, casual place. Looks like it belongs in the east village. Service was very good, the Pugh they were really busy trying to stay on top of every table. Food was excellent. The family meal is a great deal! You get a lot of food for the money. And it is really good food!! We got the wings and pork belly. Both were great though the pork belly was better. We also got the half hainanese duck which was amazing. And the duck fat rice it came with was awesome! And finally we got the chili pan me, noodles were great, crispy anchovies were awesome, and the pork was the best. The unlimited rice was also good, you get two flavors, and the small ice cream dessert was a nice touch at the end. Highly recommend. read more

Nice restaurant on the west side! Serves Filipino food and it didn't disappoint. Location: It is located around Amsterdam Avenue. Came early for brunch and it was not busy. The restaurant has a bar where I was seated and you can see how they cook your food. Service: not much interaction, i already know what to order ahead. Food: to be honest it was a hit and miss. I felt like it's not authentic Filipino food but it was good. SIZZLING SISIG: salty for my taste but it was good, good amount of pork and that lime makes a difference. Perfect for rice!! BEEF TAPA: the pork was marinated well. very tender and it comes with 2 eggs!! And that dipping sauce is divine!! Should include rice already because that is the typical TAPSILOG but you have to buy the rice separately. GARLIC RICE: rice was cooked properly! Soft and garlic bits is good. Price rating: 8/10. Yeah i think everything is pricey right now. Definitely will come back to try other food on their menu. But definitely try the tapa! read more

Delicious mix of Filipino, Thai, and Pan Asian food here! Chill cozy vibe with great service. A bunch of friends invited me here and I'm glad I decided to join. The space is a bit small but we all fit in at our table. Cool music playing and a modern decor. Chicken satay, coconut rice, spare ribs (so good), papaya salad, chili pan mee, pork belly and some other things I can't remember. All delicious and well prepared for the price. Worth a visit if close by and they also have a full bar and specialty cocktails along with a small beer selection such as Singha and Lucky Buddha. read more

Everything was good, nothing felt above and beyond, but I did really like the crab fried rice. We were a party of 3 and sat at the bar. We got the Patis wings, crab fried rice, khao soi and fried whole fish. They recommend to order family style vs individual dishes. The fish, wings and khao soi were decent. We came for a friends birthday and they were nice enough to give each of us free ube soft serve at the end. Overall it's a good spot but nothing id come back for. read more

Everything here was sooooo salty and honestly really heavy. Got the family meal which is a decent deal lots of food. It includes two apps, two entrees, two rice/noodles? And free dessert or shot - we opted for dessert. My favorite dishes were the coconut rice, crab fried rice, fish. They let you have coconut or jasmine rice. Everything else honestly I wouldn't get again. Too salty with lack of actual flavor. The khao soi was okay with the rice. The meat of the wings and ribs were just wayyyy too salty and not that tender either. Also The pineapple soft serve is so artificial and icy it is more like artificial sorbet. The inside was cute and service was decent although a bit slow. Good ambiance overall. read more

Pig and Khao - Green Papaya Salad - Filipino Near Me - New York, New York

My boyfriend and I ate dinner at Pig and Khao during the first night of our NYC trip. We made reservations in advance. Considering how busy it was - if you're not a local and are set on coming here during your visit, I'd recommend the same. The experience was excellent. The restaurant has an upbeat and fun vibe. Good music playing and lots of loud conversations going on. If you're looking for quiet & romantic - this is isn't it. Tables are fairly close together, so you may become friends with your neighbors. We sat at the Chefs Counter which overlooks the kitchen. It was a fascinating experience watching all the dishes being made throughout the evening. Our server was excellent. She guided us through the menu and offered frequent recommendations and opinions on various dishes. We ended up going with the Family Meal so we could try a variety of items. We started with the Sinigang Fried Shrimp and Bo Kho "Birria" Roti. Both were great but the Fried Shrimp were phenomenal. Probably my favorite bite of the night. Such a savory and craveable crunch on the shrimp. Next we shared the Chili Pan Mee. This was good, however the whole fried sardines were interesting. After mixing, all the components blend together; but the concept of eating the entire fish (head included) was constantly at the back of my mind. For our main protein we got the Sizzling Sisig. Another great bite, especially when paired with the bottomless jasmine rice and coconut rice. Pig and Khao was a memorable meal and definitely one I'd like to experience again the next time I visit the city. read more

Absolutely loved this Upper West Side outpost of Pig & Khao for a cozy, flavorful Saturday night dinner after watching the Nutcracker. Walked in right at opening at 5 p.m. on a Saturday with no reservation and were pleasantly surprised to be second in line and able to grab seats at the bar, which ended up being a great perch to watch the open kitchen and action in the dining room. The vibe was lively but not chaotic, and dishes came out at a comfortable pace so the meal never felt rushed. Food-wise, everything leaned hearty, bold, and a little playful, with inventive twists on Filipino comfort dishes. The pork belly dish was a standout--rich, crispy, and super satisfying--and the birria tacos were juicy without getting soggy, with basil adding a fresh, unexpected layer of flavor. The khao soi-style dish with pickled greens had a deep, warming broth, and the acidity from the greens really brightened each bite. For dessert, the pineapple soft serve was the perfect way to end the night: light, refreshing, and just tangy enough after such a rich meal. Left with full hearts, full bellies, and very ready to come back to work through more of the menu. Ambiance: 5/5 Taste: 5/5 Service: 5/5 read more

I attended a group brunch at Pig & Khao that was fun and filled with good food. The service there was great, they were dedicated to making the event a success and catering to everyone there. It was a set menu with a variety of their dishes. Standouts dishes for me were the Tocino wings, smoked fish toast, khao soi, longganisa, and ricotta pancakes. All the dishes were really good. I also tried a great cocktail called the thrash metal with clarified rum, it was light and refreshing would recommend to all even if you're not usually a rum drinker. Overall, food was amazing, vibes were fun, inventive cocktails. I would love to go again, highly recommend. read more

I may have just found one of my new favorite Asian restaurant in the UWS. I absolutely love the decor and overall theme of the space... it's vibrant and stylish. Our waitress was very nice and attentive the entire time, but the food truly stole the show. We started with the sinigang fried shrimp, which may have been the best thing we ordered. The sauce was completely out of this world. The pork belly adobo was also incredibly flavorful and perfectly cooked. For our mains, the khao soi was super flavorful with amazing noodles, and the boneless short ribs were packed with rich, delicious sauce. We did the family meal, which also came with a pickleback shot at the end (bourbon with a pickle juice chaser), a fun touch. Just note it's a little on the pricier side, but worth it. read more

Fan-freaking-tastic group brunch experience for my friend's birthday! This was a memorable final meal for the birthday gal who was visiting for the weekend. We were well taken care of, got a dessert for the celebration and the food was so, so good. We did the family style meal, and everyone was stuffed. Unfortunately did not get every photo but my favorites were: chili pan mee (spicy pork ragu over ramen noodles), calamansi pancakes with ricotta and milk brown butter and the wings -- yes, the wings! Loved the pineapple sambal glaze sprinkled with pickled chiles and crispy garlic. Four out of six of us are Filipino, and the waiter really made it clear to us that the restaurant isn't a Filipino restaurant per se but a fusion restaurant lol (I guess they've gotten comments/feedback where diners expected a more traditional Filipino cuisine). read more

Okay maybe I ordered wrong here, but I was really dissapointed in the food. I loved their sister restaurant (Piggyback) and was sad to learn they closed recently. Came here for brunch without a reservation. Was seated at the counter by the kitchen which was cool to see. Server was friendly, and helped recommend the Calamansi pancakes which we got. Also added the Spam and egg roti, and the Ube croissant. I also got a coffee. Ube croissant comes out first and is pretty good, especially with the coffee. It's a tad small, esp for $10, but it's filled with Ube jam and tastes good. Great, off to a good start! Then the pancakes come, and honestly they were just fine. Not much flavor, and I noticed that the sauce was really broken. Thought this might be standard, but then I saw pancakes come out later that looked veryyyy different (see pics). Finally the spam egg and cheese roti comes out and it's drenched in oil. Was tasty but really drenched in there and super salty. Also came with fries instead of tots. Maybe I came on an off day, but honestly wasn't impressed at all with the lack of consistency. In honor of piggyback, I might come back to give them another try, perhaps for dinner instead. read more

Pulled a successful brunch walk-in on a Saturday and got a cozy window seating! Vibrant vibes, noise levels on the lower end, and easy to have a conversation. Their drinks menu is pretty decent and the Bloody Mary ($15) was quite tasty! Egg in a Hole ($19) and Khao Soi ($23) were the perfect savory items to order, and our little one enjoyed their Garlic Rice ($5) which was indeed quite garlic forward! Portion sizes are on the smaller end, so for heavy eaters, some small plates definitely recommended. Service was quick and food arrived as it got ready, and within 25-mins of placing an order. read more

It was our first time here on a Friday night and the whole thing was incredible. This place has easily jumped into our favorite restaurants uptown. The pork adobo was unlike anything we've ever had. The pork belly was delicious (as expected), but the sauce it's served in was unlike anything I've ever had. The sizzling sisig with coconut rice was so rich and flavorful. The combination of sweet (from the rice), spicy, salty, and savory is unmatched and absolutely worth getting. And the chili pan mee noodles were also exceptional.

Great casual lunch or dinner destination in upper west side. Few places in NYC hit like a European-laid-back experience. Most euro-like places are copies of Parisian bistros or post-austerity coffee spots etc. Pig and Khao guys could be in Berlin or Barcelona. Laid back, open, with a dash of humor and great lighting. Loved the garage (?) vibe. The service was beyond great. I asked for something low carb high fiber high protein and I was provided customized options rapid fire style My friend's vegetarian option was amazing (see photos) and mine was good but I guess I'm not a fan of that Asian veggie it seems.
