Modern Filipino food, family-run, condensed milk ice cream
"Lasa started out as a pop-up in the Far East Plaza, became a full restaurant in 2017, and is now one of our favorite spots in the neighborhood. The family-run spot serves fantastic Filipino comfort food like lechon kawali (twice-cooked pork belly), sinigang chicken wings, and veggie pancit. That said, no order is complete without some condensed milk ice cream for dessert. Pick-up is available through their website and delivery on most major apps." - brant cox, kat hong
"Lasa is technically in Chinatown, but it’s worth the extra couple minutes in the car (and trips around the block looking for a parking spot) for their excellent modern Filipino food. The restaurant itself, in the same building as Howlin’ Rays, is pretty bare bones, but the excellent service makes you feel like you’re part of the family that runs this place. And while it’s casual enough for a group dinner, you’re not going to get dumped for bringing a date here either. Especially if you order the condensed milk ice cream for dessert." - jess basser sanders, brant cox
