I got take out during lunch time. Taho was cold and had no flavor at all, it didn't have that hint of sweetness you expect from taho. Pork sisig had no kick to it, and tasted more like just onions and some mang thomas. Lechon kawali had no flavor what so ever, it was just fried not even crispy, oily and you have mang thomas as a dipping sauce. Was initially excited to try but just ended up being disappointed, would not recommend any of the food I got.

Everyone was smiling and very nice when I walked in to pick up my order. The food tasted fresh and it was flavorful. Definitely satisfied the craving of missing my wife’s food while she’s away. I will be back!

We got the Ube cake for my birthday and got really good comments from the people who have tried it — including me and my husband. The icing is not too sweet and the cake is moist!

My family ate at this restaurant for my brother’s birthday, and I can assert that Zul completely exceeded my expectations for what hospitality and authentic Filipino food should be like. If you’re considering visiting Zul, I hope this review helps to inform you of just how wonderful the experience is at this place!The atmosphere of this restaurant reminded me of enjoying a freshly cooked meal in the kitchen of a Filipino household. The decorations made me feel at home. In addition, the karaoke room was beautifully furnished and provided a sense of ease and relaxation. The restroom was comfortable and entirely clean.As for the hospitality, the owners were friendly and helpful. Gladys was exceptionally confident with the menu and gave appetizing recommendations. The food was certainly the best part of the experience. The chicken was salty with an astonishingly crispy exterior, yet it was so soft and tender inside that it tore apart easily. Meanwhile, the spongy ube mango cake held a perfect balance between tangy and sweet. All the food at Zul, including the baked goods, is made from scratch.Overall, because of its atmosphere, hospitality, and delicious authentic Filipino food, Zul is one of my first choices to recommend to anyone in the area who is interested in exploring different cuisine. “Ten thumbs-up!”

Got lumpia Shanghai and lechon sisig. Sisig was okay, lumpia was greasy and soft. Sisig wasn't sisig, basically closer to pork Adobo. Place is crazy, charges $18.00 for sisig that isn't sisig and is about 60% rice and 1/4 cup pork. Bones in pork, not authentic at all. Make it yourself or just wait until you're in NYC next. Very disappointed in this "Filipino" food.

Good & delicious food; prompt delivery of orders; ample serving ; that's all I could say
Best ube cake I've ever had. It's light, fluffy, creamy and just the right amount of sweetness. I haven't tried the food but definitely will when I go back for more cake!

Great hole-in-the-wall Filipino spot with fast service. While there is limited seating, we ate in and had the whole table to ourselves. Tried the Bangus Sisig which had a really light and citrusy flavor complementing the sweet marinade of the fish. Paired with the rice and egg, the dish was well balanced. Tried the Palobok noodles as well and the dish was tasty and had crispiness to the meat. The cassava cake was a great way to end the meal and was not overly sweet.

I do recommend this place . It's so good, very nice owners here . The restaurant is small only a few small tables and chairs . We chose to take out , we had two meals which came with Chicken BBQ Meal , the other came with pork and fried egg on top . We also tried the sampler it had a few different kinds of meats and little bites, enjoyed it . On of the items on the sampler was a fried squid ball it was good . The food was fresh and for my first time I enjoyed the meal I had. We also had the cake UBE it's sweet potato also the ice cream Halo-halo it was interesting and something different.

Food was great prices great I had never been there and thought it was a sit down restaurant and called to make a reservation. They only have 3 small tables but the woman there actually saved them for us. Definitely will return for takeout

Without a doubt some of the best food ever. Fish Sisig and Taho are my personal favourites from this godlike menu. I temporarily stop being a vegetarian just to eat here. The staff is amazing, the service is quick, and the food bangs. Do not miss this spot.
