Food was very disappointing. 1. We ordered the crispy pata, but it was soggy and not crispy at all. It honestly looked like it needed more frying. 2. The calamari ($23) was terrible. The coating was falling off and didn’t even stick to the squid. Worse, the squid had a bad smell and tasted like it wasn’t fresh, especially the tentacles, which were not properly cooked. My husband immediately noticed the smell, and we usually love calamari. 3. The quarter BBQ chicken (chicken inasal) was extremely dry and rubbery. My son couldn’t eat it at all. The garlic rice that came with it tasted old and was mushy.
We drove almost two hours just to eat Filipino food at a Filipino restaurant in Queens, and this was a huge disappointment and a waste of money. We paid $128 for food that we barely ate, only a small portion of the crispy pata.
I don’t usually leave reviews, but this experience was bad enough that I felt the need to share so the restaurant can improve and do better for future customers.

I went here for my friend's birthday on the weekend. We had a really great time. The staff was friendly and the vibes were great. Way better than Kabayan next door. I love my people but this one is more fun!

Service is so so so awful. It took them 30 minutes to even give me a glass of water. I ordered the same thing as the table next to me and they ordered after me and they got their food before I did. I have never gotten worse service anywhere

I had no warning that I'd find something this good here. I was surprised by how good everything tasted. The place offers something truly special. Every employee delivers outstanding service. If you welcome taste adventures, try this place.

The interior design enhances rather than distracts from the food. The establishment captures local essence. Good selection range and staff who know their job. The portions satisfy, the preparation impresses, and the taste delivers. Everyone in the area should try this high-quality spot.
The food here was good but overpriced in my opinion and I could overlook that if they had decent service. The staff was sitting on their phones the entire time or watching the karaoke, and didn’t tell us that part of our meal would take longer. I wouldn’t have minded if they simply told us that, instead of making us wait until we finished everything else. The music was extremely loud and I couldn’t even hear the waitress when she was speaking. On top of that, they charge you 20% automatically and then expect you to tip again. I asked one of the waiters if they charged us already and he just stared at me wide eyed and nodded. Ihawan provides much better authentic Filipino food with better service, go there than wasting your time and money here.

The food was so good but there was a surprise cover charge added to my bill. I was really surprised that I wasn’t told there was an extra charge when the waitress sat us down. I didn’t notice any signage stating this, but even if there was, people don’t always read it and reminders are always helpful.

Your sinigang and pansit is super delicious. Also your staff were friendly. Thanks for great experience.
