Where to Eat in Ditmas Park Right Now | Eater NY
"This Filipino restaurant is home to an inviting space with colorful abstract art and an open kitchen. The crowd ranges from Filipino families from afar to neighborhood residents, to those drawn by a 2021 Bib Gourmand review. The menu’s Filipino classics include lumpia, tocino, and lechon Kawali. But the husband-and-wife duo of Amy Besa and Romy Dorotan, who many credit for introducing Filipino cuisine to a wider audience in NYC, have also added not-to-be-missed dishes like the pa jun Korean scallion-and-shrimp pancake, ukoy (a vegetable and shrimp fritter piled high on a plate like a blooming onion), and a velvety, vinegary-sweet chicken adobo. Regulars know to order the mango tart with mango ice cream, an off-menu dessert option. Like most spots in the neighborhood, the breezy, bamboo pole-wrapped backyard is open when the weather is right." - Gabriella Cascone
