Great food, great staff, great fun! The noise level could've been a bit lower, though. Otherwise, perfect.

“A feast for the senses!” I am Fil-Am and this is legit delicious Filipino. We had the Club 95 and this is huge. Its more than enough for four people. The selection was a delightful explosion of flavors, perfectly seasoned and beautifully plated. The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfectly complemented by the live music. We saw Mangrove Red. This band is a perfect blend of musicality and artistry! Filipino spice within genre of Jazz, R&B, and Hip-hop created a delightful backdrop, enhancing the overall dining experience. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, making excellent recommendations that elevated our meal. Cant wait to return.

It was my first time at Kalye with friends; we ordered a few drinks, sisig, and lumpia. The portions were more than enough, and the food was delicious. There was live music, ambiance was vibey, but it was a little too loud. I could hardly hear my friends talking. Other than that, we had a good time and would come back again!

Food was great BUT the band noise level is beyond allowable decibel. It is NOT fun to be eating with live band's blaring noise. If this is just a bar, maybe BUT if they want more people to enjoy their meals, they need to tone down music until usual dinner hour. Otherwise, they will only attract non-family, single crowd.

Staff are amazingly helpful and accommodating. We came very early for our reservation but they still accepted us. Their pork sisig, shanghai, cocktails, etc are our favorites.

Kalye Rivington is such a vibe! Crafted cocktails inspired by Filipino cuisine, as well as authentic Filipino dishes. My favorites are the lumpia, sisig, tuna kinilaw and UBE ICE CREAM! Absolutely delicious. Will be back soon!

I really wanted to like this place. The vibe is great and the service is absoutely fantastic. I am not sure if they had an off night but the lechon was overcooked and over salted, barely any flavor. The rice was undercooked as well. A good lechon is moist and soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside if it's done right but this was a hot mess all around. The mango salad was okay but nothing noteworthy. I tend to favor a sweet mango and but let me at least taste the mango. Given the area and price point, I expected better.
A must dining stop in NYC, the pork lechon is delicious. Highly recommend. Our first time eating this style of food & the staff were very helpful with meal & beverage suggestions. Would love to return but won’t have time on this trip.

We ordered kare-kare, sliders and inasal rice. Kare-kare was made of crispy pork skin, pork, bok choy, and peanut sauce. It was extremely rich at the end. We saw high rating on google review and was excited to try the restaurant. Unfortunately, there was minimal service during our meal.

Amazing food and service. Would recommend anyone who loves food, especially Filipino food to visit Kalye. My wife is Filipino and is a fabulous home cook and I have enjoyed home cooked Filipino for the last 19 years. For my wife to say this was some of the best food she has tasted is very high praise. Also loved the service as well and big thanks to Rich for making us feel so welcome and top class service. Cannot sing praises enough and please go visit and enjoy the food. Recommend Ube Sliders, Club 85 and Halo Halo.
Servers were welcoming and responsive. Food was very good, especially the pork sisig and skewers. Found myself longing for garlic fried rice, and my husband was wondering why Chinese beer was served instead of San Miguel. But all in all, would definitely come back to this little gem of a place.
