🤤🤤🤤🤤Incredibley delicious! A unique and flavorful blend of Malaysian style food. The flavors are addicting. This place is way bigger than it looks. One of the coolest atmospheres in New York.

We had a private event in the Wayback Bar and it was amazing! The events coordinator was incredibly helpful leading up to the day, in terms of answering all our questions, providing details on what to expect, and staying in communication with us the whole way. They offered lots of flexibility in terms of options for everything and were extremely accommodating. The event itself was perfect! Great food, awesome drinks, and a great space. Every staff member was attentive, friendly, and took care of every detail seamlessly so we could enjoy our day. We got so many compliments from our guests about every aspect of the place. I highly recommend Piggyback for any type of private event space, you won't be disappointed!

Everything here is incredible. Cocktail highlights are The Bastard- a spicy Korean mezcal drink and Duck L'Orange- a duck fat rye concoction. Food highlights are mushroom dandan and mussels. Only thing that didn't blow us away is the fried chicken but the Filipino bread that came with it was delicious

food was very average. Ramen was not good and egg was cold. Bartander was also rude. Wouldn't recommend

I dined here twice, once with a friend and once with a group of 11 and both times I had the luck of Raymond as our server. He took such good care of our group with shrimp and nut allergies with ease. Our glasses were never empty and the huge portions made sure our tummies were almost too full. We had a great time and never felt rushed. I'd definitely recommend dining here and chance you get. I love the fried chicken, fries (they only come with mussels but they come on separate plates), and a noodle dish no longer on the menu I think. Everything everyone had was amazing. Oh and the piggyback bread is phenomenal!!!

Note: The fried chicken has shrimp paste in the batter but your server will give you an allergen menu if they don't know it well.

Had the chicken Mami, mushroom Dan Dan, and Thai basil sea bass aguachile. Aguachile was good, but the noodles were pretty bland and just generally not great especially for the price. My server said the Dan Dan was super spicy but it literally had no kick, and thought they should have crushed the peanuts instead of just having the whole halved like it was just sprinkled right out of the wholesale peanut bag.

Great bar! The ladies working the bar took care of us. Our food was fresh and tasty.
The chicken in my Ramen was not great. The thigh meat had not been deboned properly and there was tendon and cartilage still attached. It should have been trimmed a little better. Other than that everything was good.

This was a tough one - wings were incredible and super good but the fried chicken sandwich was pretty bad. The bun was stale and hard :/. Drinks were pretty good. Might have just had a one -off bad sandwich :/

Didn’t have a ton of traditional brunch options if that’s what you’re looking for

Unfortunately we love Pig and Khao but this was definitely a step down in terms of food quality and flavor, especially for the price which was steep. Further our waiter rushed us and clearly did not know the menu very well. We asked about the gluten free options and she didn’t know and couldn’t clarify anything.

I held a wedding rehearsal brunch for 45 people in Piggyback's private event space "The Way Back", and WOW everything was perfect. My wife is half filipino so this was the perfect fit.

The vibe, the service, and of course- the food! Our guests could not stop raving about the Mushroom Dan Dan noodles, Chicken Wings, and FRENCH TOAST. And there was so much of it!

Madie and her team were attentive, thoughtful, and so so welcoming. They even allowed us early entry to do our little wedding rehearsal in the space before brunch.

Truly, their sister Pig & Khao is my favorite restaurant in NYC and Piggyback does not disappoint.

Conveniently located spot for some bistro-esque Asian cuisine. The food is decent, although heads up some of the dishes can be a bit spicy!
