Seats were a bit tight. The adobo was so dry but the crab dish was delicious.

The menu online or in-person is not up-to-date on what dishes are gluten-free. People look at menus ahead of time to pick a spot or what they’ll eat, so this was unfortunate. Servers were not flexible to accommodate so we could only order 3 dishes and the flan. Otherwise, great food and ambience.

Great across the board — the vibe, service, and flavor all hit. The slow-roasted lechon pork for two is amazing and can be a whole meal. The Dungeness crab curry might be even better. Can't wait to go back.

Naks serves flavorful Filipino dishes with generous portions. The grilled items and classic favorites are well-prepared and satisfying. A great spot for family meals and casual dining.

I'm reluctant to spread the word about this amazing spot. The team maintains pleasant demeanors without exception. The bill aligns with what you receive. The food is worth coming back for! The place occupies a prime area and the staff was attentive throughout our visit.

My introduction to Philippine cuisine and it was delicious! The fried chicken is so crispy and well seasoned on the outside while the meat is tender and juicy. The adobo rice is crispy from the hot clay pot and has chicken and pork and egg mashed all together. Ginataang is fresh and flavourful— especially loved it with rice. Dessert is also a highlight: the foamy ube was light and not too sweet while the crust is super buttery and crunchy

We went for a preset dinner that you had to pay ahead for. We were really excited to try Naks and have been wanting to go for a while. We were sat 30 minutes after our reservation time and had to wait outside for half because of the space inside. When we were finally sat, we were asked if we had allergies, and I mentioned I am very allergic to raw shellfish. The waiter said he couldn’t accommodate me for one of the dishes, even though we did not have access to the menu early. He just presented the dish to my fiancé and said I’d have to skip it. I am usually very mindful of the allergy and avoid omakase where it’s more tricky but have never had an issue outside of omakase, especially since usually preset menus will at least have a menu to look at before you book. We were not comped for anything and the dinner was $350 for 2 people. Truly top 3 worst restaurant service experiences I’ve had.

We went here for the first time and with high expectations. It’s not the service, we know they’d be great. We were expecting better plates. Foods were just OK. Not bad at all.

Dynamite was delish. I’m glad it wasn’t the whole jalapeño inside. They ground it with other ingridients like cheese.

Kobe burger was OK. I thought it was a little salty for me. But it’s “tapa” style so I could relate.

Never had medium-cooked pork in my life. That hesitated me to eat more entree. It tasted good but no medium-cooked pork for me again.

The pastry with ice cream was good. Almost all desserts are good. Sugar is a brain magnet.

Staff are great. I like that the restaurant is a little dark. Noise level is mild. Good overall local and international food experience.

Went on a Thursday night, loved every moment of it! The food was delicious, and had nice presentation, also very creative. The ambiance was bustling but not too loud nor too crowded. Loved the adobo rice & beef cheek we ordered. Loved loved the ube cheesecake! So unique!
