"We’ve loved our meals at Lasa over the years, but this Chinatown spot's current form as rotisserie-slash-wine-bar Lasita is its best version yet. The slightly more casual menu pushes the envelope with fun, delicious takes on traditional Filipino food, rounded out with bottles of beaujolais flowing from the bar. Come here to eat lemongrass-stuffed chicken inasal, flawless mushroom sisig, and spiral-cut pork belly lechon with the right amount of skin crackle, but stick around to feel hot and drink good wine. The dining room quite literally glows like a summer sunset, with soft light showering the pale pink walls. And if you’re not periodically making eyes at the mysterious hottie a few seats down, you’re caught up in the rapture of their calamansi cream pie.
