Authentic Filipino comfort food: grilled options, skewers, sisig























"One or two-course date nights were fine back when you could leave the house, try out new handshakes with friends, and open Instagram without seeing several loaves of fresh bread. But now you need more. Tito Rad’s, a classic Filipino spot in Sunnyside, is the solution. Have a 10-course date night with garlic fried rice, lumpiang Shanghai, sizzling sisig, a tangy bowl of milkfish sinigang, and whatever else is calling out to you like an oddly sexual mermaid creature on a rocky outcrop in the middle of the sea." - bryan kim
"Like the lechon kawali sisig at Max’s, the one at this Woodside spot is made up entirely of pork belly. And like a great French 75 or your high school skincare routine, this sisig proves that a little bit of lemon juice can go a long way. Each sweet, charred, chewy, and crunchy bite of meat has pleasant notes of acid. With sisig this special, and in such huge portions, Tito’s is a great spot to try with a small group in their long dining room, which is decorated with a mural of their storefront (just in case you forget where you are)." - nikko duren, kenny yang
"Tito Rad’s is offering their full menu of Filipino options online for pick-up or delivery. We like their lumpia shanghai and BBQ pork." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
"Unlike the other Woodside spots on this guide, the sisig at Tito Rad’s Grill is made up entirely of pork belly. And like a great French 75, or your high school skincare routine, this sisig proves that a little bit of lemon juice can go a long way. Each bite of nicely acidic meat overtakes your innocent taste buds with all things sweet, charred, chewy, and crunchy. Share the sisig special with a small group and try to get a table in the back, which feels like one big party at your coolest tito’s house." - neha talreja, nikko duren
"I love places that encourage mess: Tito Rad’s Grill in Woodside serves big squares of parchment so you can slurp and splatter — orange kare kare stew and deep-fried pork knuckle decorate the table, and the best dessert is turon (fried banana spring rolls), nine for $7, whose greasy wrappers leave a glorious trail." - Eater Staff
