BINONDO by Kabisera

Excited to try this restaurant. Loved the ambiance with the open kitchen in the back. The staff were so friendly. Really enjoyed their squid ink rice and paksiw special.

I came here twice (lunch and dinner) for my birthday and it was amazing! I especially loved the lettuce wraps and crispy kare kare. The mocktails are delightful.

Yesterday afternoon, we arrived from Boston and were delighted by the wonderful service and expertly prepared dishes! The Ongpin mocktail and Crispy Kare Kare stood out as absolute favorites. Plus, their location in the heart of Chinatown NY is a fantastic bonus!

We came in for dinner. Very friendly staff. Good portion, tasty dishes, authentic Pilipino taste, great cocktails! looks expensive but it is super casual and affordable ! ! Will visit again ❤️

Wonderful food and experience! Filipino Chinese fusion is perfect. Definitely get the pacit bihon and pork sisig (we ate it too fast to take a picture!). All of the appetizers we tried were delicious as well, especially the lumpia and shrimp volcano. And the ube iskrambol for dessert was fantastic, not too sweet and a perfect chill for the summer heat. 10/10!

A wonderful addition to the Filipino Manhattan food scene. Very good lumpia, lechon kawali, pancit canton. They were very accommodating for our large party. Chef Elvis and his team with Dexter were excellent, Must make a reservation! Support this business/ will return! Highly recommend!

With restaurants, with food in general, flavor/taste comes first. While I appreciate Binondo's efforts to make their food look instagramable, taste was greatly compromised. Lechon kawali was bland and not crispy, sisig needed more taste, morcon was forgettable, the tinola was alright, lumpiang shanghai also not the greatest...unlimited rice perfect! Too much focus on optics. Tinola for example, what's the whole point of assembling it on the table pouring the soup on the chicken and veggies? It's not a ramen! Ergo, soup was cold! Focus on authenticity of the Filipino food and stop making it a French gourmet. It's very pretentious and ostentatious. Staff were nice, ambience was ok. Work on the price point too, it's not worth it for hospital food. Hope you improve and really showcase true Filipino flavors. Overall, not coming back and not recommending - for now.

The food was excellent, worth the price the plating was simple but elegant and the ambience was relaxing, the service was excellent, highly recommended.
