Overall enjoyable experience. Friendly staff. Food was good- some dishes more flavorful than others. The lumpia had good flavor but its filling tasted watered down. Dishes were good overall but certain things didn’t have the full flavor profile I expected. Wings were amazing. Dirty appetizer dishes were never cleared from the table (including a bowl with chicken bones from the appetizer wings that stayed on the table until our check came). I would go back with appropriate expectations. 3.5/5

Hi Maryann, So glad you enjoyed your meal with us! Let us know when you'd like to return & we'd be happy to take better care of you during your next visit!

We ended up sitting at the bar instead of the table we reserved and the bartender was excellent: friendly, knowledgeable and make good recommendations. The happy hour went to 6 o'clock and the drinks/apps included we pretty good (beer, cocktail, etc.). The mains were flavorful, well seasoned and nicely sized. Overall, very good restaurant and I would go again, but only after checking out the UWS location first!

Hi Miles, UWS is awesome! Feel free to reach out if you'd like to check out any of our locations & we'd be happy to make your reservation for you!

Been here several times but never for lunch. Great place to eat before a game at MSG. Service was excellent and the food was great. Had five dishes, shared everything with my friend: spring rolls, shrimp fried rice, a pork bowl, beet salad and the mango shrimp salad. Favorites were the beets and shrimp, but all were solid. Friendly staff and great value. Will be back soon !!!

Menu was not clear about certain aspects. My friends ordered two different dishes and it was not clear how spicy it was. They could not eat their food. When staff was told they just gave them extra broth which was not helpful. They did not enjoy their meal at all
Piggyback NYCResponded on 24 February 2025
Hi Srabone, So sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience with us! Let us know if you'd like to give us another try, we'd be happy to direct you to less spicier dishes & send an extra bread or rice away to help with the spice!
