BINONDO by Kabisera

Everything was delicious omg. Every vegetable was cooked perfectly (amazing)!!! And each dish tasted unique and was seasoned well (at other restaurants, all dishes can kinda taste the same.) My family loved the sisig (not pictured) and the huge halo halo of course (all the toppings were perfect.) The char on the vegetables in the kare kare was chefs kiss. Thank you Kabisera for your food at BINONDO !!! <3 I can't wait to go back and bring more people.

Such a special place. The food is super fresh and delicious. Absolutely amazing. The chef came out to chat with us to make dietary accommodations for a friend. So so nice! Loved everything about this place. A must try if you love Filipino food!

Delicious Filipino food! Loved the sisig. The staff is very friendly and would recommend to others! Make sure to make a reservation because it gets packed!

My first time trying Filipino food turned out to be a wonderful experience! The place was spacious, clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly. Most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious! The portions were generous, and everything We had today was so tasty. I’d love to come back and try the whole menu—next time, I’m definitely bringing more friends!

We had a fantastic dinner for our group of 7. Thank you so much to Chef Augee and team for the delicious food, drinks, and hospitality. A truly a wonderful addition to Chinatown. You expertly balanced the traditional flavors we love as a Filipino American family and you brought a newness to dishes that delighted even my Mom and my very discerning Tita’s. Our favorites were the Pancit Negra, Crispy Pork Kare Kare and the Special Halo Halo. There was not one complaint from our group. The joy and laughter from our table was only matched by our deafening silence when we were all stuffing our faces with your incredible food - sarap! We left with happy bellies and can’t wait to come back to try more of the menu.

This is not your typical Filipino food — they definitely put some twists into their dishes. We tried four items from the menu: Beef Kare-Kare, Lumpiang Shanghai, Pork Sisig, and Beef Ampalaya. The highlights for us were the Lumpiang Shanghai and the Beef Ampalaya, both of which we enjoyed. On the other hand, the Kare-Kare didn’t quite hit the spot; it was on the dry side, not the usual soupy style we expected, and it was lacking vegetables. While the presentation was nice, the overall quality wasn’t there. As for the Sisig, it had more onions than meat, which threw off the balance. That said, the staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the dining experience more enjoyable. I can’t speak for the rest of the menu since these were the only dishes we tried, but based on our experience, it was a bit of a mixed bag.

Already passing by almost everyday for couple months. Not until recently found on the web is a hidden Filipino-Chinese inside Chinatown. Have dinner with my daughter we love every single dish we ordered. Especially the fish with coconut milk and lemon. My daughter also like the slow cocked pork belly with brown sauce.

This was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The service was amazing and the food was delicious. We did family style and tried multiple things and it was all so good!!

The food is absolutely delicious--fresh, creative, and full of flavor. I enjoyed every single bite! Don't forget to order dessert--highly recommend the sizzling chocolate cake with the best date sauce you'll ever taste. The service and hospitality were excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. Bon appétit!

Great place for Chinese Filipino food! Got the pancit and chicken inasal to share with a friend. The pancit is definitely one of the best pancits I've had. Great noodle texture and very flavorful. The chicken inasal was juicy, charred, and so so so flavorful. The lemongrass really came through. They also serve the table with peanuts and dried anchovies. Delicious! Place itself is very pretty, great for friends or a more casual date but in a nice restaurant.

We were greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy ambiance. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, offering excellent recommendations. The portion sizes were generous, and everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The soup and biscuits are on the house, and both taste. I order wrong thing by mistake they give it to us for free

Hard to believe that after growing up in New York, this was my first time dining in a Filipino cuisine restaurant. Conveniently located on East Broadway in Chinatown, this place is fairly new. Our server was patient and very efficient. He brought us the soup and appetizers that were to be included at no extra charge as we were still looking at the menu to yet to order. I liked the seasoned anchovies, crispy. The soup was pumpkin based with a subtle taste and the petite bowl was gratis. I like that we were treated to cold lime infused water as we were seated. The sausage on rice had a hint of sweetness, not a bad thing. It was very good on sticky garlic rice. My favorite was the crispy pig on vermacelli. Really tender, unlike any I have had before. Crispy is the word. All in all we were glad to have something different from the usual Chinese and Vietnamese fare. The interior was sleek and "Smooth Operator" playing over the loudspeaker.

If you're a fan of Filipino food this one is worth the visit. The prices are not bad considering it is in Manhattan. Friendly service, great ambiance, and the food was good. I'm still thinking about the ube dessert. But the sisig was good and the soup. They really thought about presentation which I appreciate.

Masarap (delicious!!). Filipino-Chinese inspired food in a modern ambiance. Lots of tables and takes reservations. Ordered the lumpia Shanghai, sisig bites, pancit Negra (black - squid ink), fish and chicken adobo. They gave a complimentary soup too. Everything felt like an elevated home experience w exceptional service / presentation and Filipino hospitality . Great for groups and special occasions. Can't wait to come back with the fam and try desserts - we were way too full.

Fantastic place for Filipino food, which was tasty. We ordered all of the classics like pancit bihon, lechon, kaldareta, and garlic fried rice. The drinks were amazing visually and taste-wise. Our favorite was the Ongpin. Service was friendly and atmosphere relaxed. I'll definitely be back for more!

Binondo, which is Manila's own Chinatown, is a Filipino-Chinese eatery that had recently opened. We've come here for lunch, and was recently brought here by friends while visiting - reservations were made in advance, and we were seated promptly once we arrived. We started off with: +the Lumpiang Shanghai - deep-fried spring rolls filled with ground pork, carrots, scallions, seasoning, and egg +Shumai - steamed chicken dumplings, served with housemade sauce; you can also opt for the pork version; comes with 4 pieces +Sisig Bites - reverse seared pork belly, onions, and chilies, seasoned with mayo, soy sauce, and lime; comes with 2 pieces +Mayon Volcano - fried shrimp dressed in a spicy mayo dressing +Spicy Green Beans - stir-fried with garlic and chili paste Note that everyone receives a complimentary 'panimula' - this consists of egg drop soup, an in-house baked bread, toasted peanuts, and sweet chili dilis. For our mains, we ordered: +the Beef Salpicao - cubed beef flank with garlic, oyster sauce, butter, and mushrooms +Chili Butter Shrimp - fried seasoned marinated shrimp sauteed in butter +Kare-Kare Beef - stew with a thick peanut sauce, eggplants, string beans, and bok choy +Lechon Kawali - fried pork belly, served with a housemade liver sauce +and, the Paksiw Sa Gata - steamed hamour fish with vinegar and coconut Overall, the food was just okay - the concept seemed interesting, but the flavors were missed. Portions were generous and easily shareable within our larger party. Service was friendly, and the space is modern-like, with an open kitchen. +reservations accepted +friendly service

INCREDIBLE food, LOVELY ambience, AMAZING service. the complimentary egg drop soup and fresh bread were incredible, and both of the main dishes I tried knocked my socks off. I tried the Crispy Kare-Kare and the pork was succulent and perfectly cooked, a generous portion, with delicious roasted vegetables and a creamy peanut sauce. I also tried the Pork Sisig and it was not only delectable, flavorful and exciting, the presentation of it was cool! brought out on a sizzling hot plate with an egg mixed in and cooked before your eyes!!! finally I finished the meal with the Turon Fried Banana Spring Rolls, accompanied by a perfectly textured flan, ube ice cream and some fresh fruit. incredible all around!

They've turned me into a loyal customer. The staff exceeds expectations with tasty, moderately priced dishes. The team ensures everyone feels welcome. The food here tastes wonderful and the service impresses. This venue demonstrates notable expertise.

We had the pleasure of eating here a few weeks ago. As someone who has spent some time in the Philippines, I'm very familiar with Filipino food. Each dish was really meticulously made, presentation was excellent, and the taste was just wonderful! What got me was the kare-kare. Traditional kare-kare is basically an ox-tail in peanut stew with some vegetables. Here, they substituted crispy pork belly and deconstructed it with the vegetables on the side and the crispy pork belly sitting on top of peanut sauce. It's a really pretty sight. Taste was spot on. The waitstaff was very attentive and the owner himself came by to ask how we were going and liking the food. Just a really wonderful experience and would definitely come again.

This restaurant gives good reason to visit the area. Every plate demonstrates kitchen standards. The people serving us knew the menu well. This place creates a setting worth extra time. This eatery shows attention to detail.

Modern Filipino food, good-size portion and presented really well. Had the crispy pork kare-kare and squid-ink pancit noodles; both dishes are delicious! Also had their halo-halo, shareable, did NOT disappoint. Staff is super friendly, will be back to try other menu items.

Amazing dining experience here! Super delicious food AND drinks, great service, every dish was crafted with care. We especially loved the potato soup, pork adobo, spicy green beans and strawberry mocktail drink. Great value as well. Calm ambiance with nice lighting.

Walked in at around 3:30 pm and lunch was still being served. They started us off with the complimentary soup- it was a creamy potato soup with homemade rolls- tasted like a buttery pan de sal to me. There was also complimentary adobo peanuts and sweet spicy dried dilis. We ordered the Pork Humbanado and the Lechon Kawali. I enjoyed the strong flavors of the Humba paired with steamed white rice. The lechon kawali was served with a vinegar dipping sauce. I don't know why I didn't ask for the typical lechon sauce. Both were cooked well. The servers were excellent-checking in on us and packed our leftovers with 2 extra cups of steamed white rice. I liked the ambience- bright and clean! Will be back to try their other offerings!

My meal here was worth every penny and minute spent. Each food item was noticeably tasty. The team members provide outstanding care. What they cook tastes right and how they serve feels right. I can't imagine not returning here.

My friends and I had dessert in Binondo, a new Filipino food restaurant in East Broadway. We had Halo- Halo, a mixture of Philippine sweet banana, ube, sweetened beans, and other sweet ingredients over shaved ice. Since one order is too much for one person, we asked for three small bowls so we can share it. It is so deliscious and refreshing in these hor Summer days. We also had another dessert of turon which is fried banana wrapped in spring roll wrapper. Also very good. It is a tasty accompaniment for the Halo- halo. The service was very good and staff were friendly. Although the place is small, we thought it was just right and very clean. I would definitely go back to taste their full meal dishes. We are glad that there is now a Filipino restaurant in Chinatown.

Nice new Filipino Chinese place. They offered a few complimentary snacks/amuse bouche: peanuts/dilis (dried fish snack), pumpkin soup (delicious! So umami), and bread (warm and buttery). The drinks were reasonably priced (12-14 for most of the cocktails), though we weren't drinking. Food: Mayon volcano: shrimp was tender and a little spicy, easy to share Chicken adobo: yummy, I always like quail egg paksiw sa gata: really delicate white fish in a delicious sauce that was a nice blend of creamy and acidic (a standout and ordered on our waiter's recommendation!) Squid ink fried rice with shrimp: yummy but a little on the salty side Pork sisig: really flavorful and delicious with rice I really appreciated that the mains came with rice. For four people, our table got a bit crowded with the plates. We didn't have room for dessert (the halo halo looked so good though!) but we would definitely come back to try more. Service: super nice staff; they let us sit even when two of our party were 10m late. Could've refilled our water a bit more often but no big deal.

I approached with doubt but left planning when I could return next. Staff members perform their duties without fault. I found myself truly impressed here. The dishes demonstrate creative taste thinking. I'm thinking about bringing family next time.

My friends and I did a food crawl. Our last stop was BINONDO by Kabisera. The chef and the management are very open to comments of their customers. The waitresses are very attentive and very pleasant. The chef even came out to meet his customers. Pancit Negra, Fish cooked in coconut, and sisig are a must try.

They were decent. I would probably order from them once a month, but they don't do take-out. Kind of annoying. I guess they feel their noodles are too fancy to be eaten in front of my TV. They're good but I'll have to order from elsewhere because I don't always feel like going out,

Food was spectacular! A large group so we ordered nearly all of the mains plates plus 3 apps. Each dish was beautifully presented in lovely pottery. Complimented simple dinner rolls with garlic chives, scape, scallion butter, freshly baked . Utterly heavenly. Chicken thighs steeped in herbs with its own broth. Delicious beef dishes, dipped bread in leftover sauce. White rice was so good we took leftovers home!! Pancit negra was squid ink pasta! Soft opening this week! Will return often!!

Food was delicious and tasty. Not salty. The service was beyond excellent. They always come by you and ask.
