One of the best restaurants in the Lower East! Chef Aris and team were very attentive on top of serving such really good food. Make sure you try the bone marrow steak fried rice and uni palabok!

I had a fantastic experience at 87 Ludlow! The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, making it a great spot for a night out. Service was excellent from start to finish; the staff was attentive, friendly, and professional. On top of all that, the quality of the food and drinks was top-notch, and the prices were very reasonable. Highly recommend!

87 Ludlow is lovely Spanish Filipino restaurant. The service and atmosphere were great and the staff were very accommodating. The food overall was fantastic. The rice with blood marrow was delicious and by far the best dish. The only down side was it seemed fairly small. We also ordered the Paella Negra (Paella cooked with squid ink). It was also delicious but similar to the other dish a bit too small.

porkbelly skewers is pretty tasty, other dishes are underwhelming. uni vermicelli noodle is a flop imo, the texture combo is not great. atmosphere is good but service can be a bit more attentive.

Fantastic service, creative menu, and great wine list! The portions are perfect and there are plenty of gluten free options.

We stumbled upon this tapas place and were glad we did! The food was phenomenal. Every single dish was delicious! The Pork belly skewers and mussels are a must! The coconut curry sauce that came with the mussels was so delicious I literally asked for a spoon to finish it. The servers were very friendly and attentive. I wish they had a dessert menu! Other than that it was a fantastic dinner.

Wow...blown away by the Filipino/Spanish fusion! A friend mentioned this spot to my husband and said we had to try it. While I love traditional Filipino food, it's always awesome to see any kind of fusion. They have solid Happy Hour deals so we tried a few items from that menu as well as their regular one. They don't have a full liquor license yet but serve wine and cocktails with shochu or sake. Loved - Pork belly adobo ala plancha: Perfectly cooked with the right amount of flavor! - Oyster sisig: What a great twist on a classic dish! I typically don't eat sisig but I love oysters, so what a great combo for me to dive into sisig. Great portion size and crispiness. - Crab congee: I don't eat congee but I love crab! I'm not obsessed with this dish and feels like what everyone should be eating on a cold day. - Spicy margarita Liked - Boquerones: I love white anchovies and this was just OK for me. It wasn't bad but maybe I hyped it up too much in my head. - Pimientos de padron: I always order a shishito peppers dish and while good, it was as expected. - Chorizo shrimp al ajillo: The chorizo was too sweet for me and the garlic wasn't as strong as I'd like for a shrimp al ajillo. Moreeee garlic please! The bread was also too hard - kind of like croutons.

They are located just off of Delaney St on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The cuisine come from Spain-Filipino inspiration. The staff is very friendly and I never seem to have an empty glass of water because they fill it so quickly. Walking in the entrance it seems deceiving thinking that this place is small. But as you walk through, you can tell that there are plenty of seats/tables. I would recommend smaller groups of parties to eat in as the seating is very intimate. I was taken away by the food. This was the first time I tried Isaw and it was amazing. The Uni Palabok was definitely interesting to see on the menu so we had to try it. It was very surprising how well uni and palabok came together. The pork belly was very juicy and flavorful. The adobo rice that came with it was very good as well. The Pulpo Romesco can seem like it's a small portion, but when cut up nicely it fed the 2 of us well. Of course, we also had to try the Oyster Sisig. Like everything else, it was very good. The only thing I miss when it comes to sisig was crispy-ness. But being Oyster, I can understand how there wasn't much crispy in the entree. Definitely would recommend this place. Very nice place to introduce your pallet into the finer side of Filipino Cuisine.

5 stars Ambiance: upscale, chic. Some of the tables are closely spaced together, but outside of that love the decor and environment. Service: outstanding. Glasses were always full, servers were very attentive, and food was brought out quickly. Food: elevated Filipino + Spanish Humba buns: delicious. Classic Bone marrow steak fried rice: the best dish we had. The rice was spectacular and the bone marrow took it over the top. It was a perfect balance of fat, salt, and savory. I could not stop eating it and wish i could have ordered more! Crispy pata: delicious. Skin was crunchy, meat was tender. Great sauce Shortrib: fell off the bone. Pineapple chimichurri went really well with this and the pata. Overall, we loved everything we ate. The flavor combinations and profiles were unique. The menu was extensive and I wish we could have tried more. Having said that, I will be back and highly recommend. Loved this restaurant.

This was the restaurant of choice for one of the bday boys. I showed up a little early with two of the guys, so we started off with drinks at the bar. The bartender was sweet and attentive. We asked for drink recommendations and she made the yuzu cocktail. It was light and refreshing which is what I was in the mood for. (I believe they only have a beer and wine license.) Dinner was in kind of private area off in the corner. It was nice to have a little space of our own. The food was delish! I love sea urchin, so the uni palabok was up my alley. And the bone marrow steak friend rice? Rich, flavorful, and savory! We should have only ordered one of each main as we had a lot of leftovers for all those dishes. I think the server recommended two of each, but we should have just done one and ordered more if needed. Just a tip if you are in a big party and just want to try a bunch of things. Fun spot to have a birthday dinner!

It's about 3.8. This place's fairly new that I was able to walk in without a reservation. Food was like a fusion Filipino tapas, which was interesting. The sauce in the mussel was to die for! It was super flavorful that I wish there's more bread to soak up all the sauce. The oyster sisig was much better than expected. However, the steak and bone marrow didn't taste as good as it looked. Steak was overcooked and chewy in texture and fried rice was a bit heavy in soy sauce.

Since it's new and without a lot of press, there was no issue with making a resy at all even on a Friday night. The space was beautifully done with 2 sections. The bar section as you entered and the dining section when you make the turn right. It was nicely decorated. They had 3 cocktail options for about 14 dollars. I enjoyed the Yuzu cava. The glasses of wine were reasonably priced at 11-12 a glass. On our way out, there were people chilling and enjoying glasses of wine at the bar. For the three of us, we shared: 1) oyster sisig - great concept, smaller and wetter than expected and also lacking in flavor. We felt like it needed a dash of salt or even a nice sauce on top. Could even be as simple as an aioli sauce or even hoisin sauce to add some flavor. 2) shrimp, chorizo in oil - the sourdough bread was crispy and deliciously coated in butter. Personally, I could have used more garlic in the oil and a bit more salt on the shrimp. They should dine at the Claud and order theirs to see. 3) Octupus - not bad! Just my personal preference is for it to be charred. So the texture was a bit soft. 4) seafood paella - the rice was good! Simple tasting. 5) The short rib - probably the most flavorful dish of the night. You could tell the short rib was cooked for a perfect time in a good sauce over some creamy mashed potatoes 6) bone marrow steak fried rice - cool concept. I always love a good marrow! Like most of the dishes, it was good but there wasn't really a wow factor in terms of the spices/sauces used for the rice! Overall, a 3.5 for the food but given it is new and the place is spacious and nicely decorated, I'm bumping it to a 4.

87 Ludlow is a Filipino-Spanish Tapas restaurant. The restaurant is cozy and intimate. Our server was very friendly and service was all around great. I was recommended this place through an influencer's IG story and made a reservation right away. As the place is small, it was mostly (but not completely) full when we ate, so a reservation would be a safe decision. We started the meal off with the pork sisig (we originally wanted the oyster version, but they were all out :( ). The cuts of pork and onion created a delightful textural experience. It's a very rich dish and would recommend you order a side of rice with it. We followed up with the scallops which were light, fresh and delicious. I appreciate when seafood isn't too fishy, and this acted as a good palette cleanser. We then had the star of the show, the bone marrow fried rice. Yum! The bits of bone marrow with the rice were delicious and the steak was cooked well. We decided to get one last small plate; the mussel curry which we thoroughly enjoyed with the sour dough. You could also add some rice with this cause the sauce was amazing. The only complaint I have would be that I wish the last two dishes we had were warmer. They'd cooled down a little too much but they were still delicious. All in all, I very much enjoyed the food experience. I look forward to returning and trying more of their plates!
