“Came here twice, and loved it both times.The dishes we ordered were Liempo / Pork skewers (least favorite), sizzling buffalo steak with bone marrow, bone marrow salpicao, miso cod, truffle mushroom tofu sig, and the Gugu express.Favorite dishes were sizzling buffalo steak and bone marrow salpicao. Both of their marrow dishes are absolutely delicious. Also recommend the Gugu express for vegetables.“
“Food is good and service is great. The pork adobo (4/5) was the best thing I ate here - the pork was well cooked and had excellent flavor with the broth. The sigsig (4/5) was okay but at times difficult to eat with the very chewy bits. The papaya salad (4/5) was solid. Overall great food and nice service.“
“Ate here twice last weekend. We are hooked! The pork and vegetarian spring rolls are great, the pork and chicken entrees are scrumptious and the baked goods / desserts are outstanding. I can't wait to try the eggplant entee and dishes which come with garlic rice. Extra kudos for the staff. Service was amazing. Our new favorite restaurant“
“Flavorful and satisfying!We started with the Callos, which combined a slightly sweet delectable sauce with astoundingly tender chopped tripe (I would liken it to a savory marshmallow, almost). The chorizo and garbanzo played their part serviceably.We followed it with the Uni Palabok. The uni and caviar were very tasty, and it was nice to try quality ingredients. However, the relative intensity of the sauce somewhat drowned out the more delicate flavors of the uni and caviar.(From my wife who grew up eating Palabok, it is *extremely* elevated)Our last entree was the Lengua de Champinon, and it was phenomenal! The tongue was expertly cooked and wonderfully tender, and the creamy mushroom sauce was a great pairing for it.For dessert, they don't have it listed on the menu yet, but they had some Tres Leches cake available. The cake was perfectly saturated with milk sauce while maintaining it's form, and instead of the standard whipped cream, it had meringue on top which was quite interesting!It was a bit pricey, but the menu is online so that's no surprise.“
“This cozy little place has the biggest flavors in the city. I've been here several times and had delicious meals on both occasions. The first one was a completely new experience for me: eat with your hands Filipino style. The food was terrific, and the staff helped everyone feel at home. The second was a typical sit-down dinner and also did not disappoint.Check them out if you're looking for authentic Filipino flavors, friendly staff, and good vibes. Thanks, Henry!! xoxo :)“
“came here after work on a Thursday, first time having filipino food and did not disappoint! we got the lumpia, pork and squid sisig, and chicken wings + spaghetti for 4. was the perfect amount of food and we did family style! the service was fast, they were very attentive to our table :-).“
“I had been feeling both physically sick and homesick, and decided to give Grill 21 a try on UberEats because they serve lugaw (definitely a go-to). I had tried some Filipino spots in Manhattan, but hadn't been too impressed. That was until I tried Grill 21. This is the most authentic it gets on this island. While eating here, Manhattan might as well be the 7,002nd Philippine Island. I ordered the Lugaw Tokwa't Baboy. The flavors, the spices, and textures all worked together to bring me back to my Lola's house. My housemate also tried their grilled pork belly meal, and let me tell you - that meat melts in your mouth. Absolutely delicious, and the big servings are truly Pinoy. Once I'm healed, I definitely need to try the Sizzling Sisig next.“
“Its girls day out last night and one of the girls recommended this restaurant . From Tim(frontman), and Shaun(cook) to the food was super. So far Ive been to 7 Filipino restaurants in the city their food is the best, the serving are huge and cheaper. Kudos guys and Pls visit them you wont regret it 10/10 rating“
