"Renee’s is our favorite Filipino restaurant in Woodside, which is saying a lot, considering this casual spot is in the heart of Little Manila. It might even be the heart of Little Manila—Renee’s has been serving the neighborhood from under the noisy Roosevelt Avenue train since 1992. It has an appropriately lived-in feel, with random trinkets, lanterns, and wooden spoons haphazardly hung up, like a child took over decorating duties. Start off with perfectly crispy sizzling sisig, then try the sinigang na baboy: sour pork soup loaded with tamarind and taro root. An order of kare-kare (peanut stew with oxtails and string beans) should be on your table, too." - neha talreja, nikko duren
