"The Filipino restaurant closed on March 24; the team is working on relocating to a bigger space in Chelsea that is set to open in June. The previous address has already been turned into a Singaporean restaurant, Uncle Ray’s Chicken Rice, by chef Raymond Kiang of Lou Yau Kee." - Nadia Chaudhury
"To celebrate Filipino Restaurant Week, Tradisyon in Hell’s Kitchen is running a special from august 18th through August 27th where you can get a $25 combo meal. Each one comes with chicken or pork adobo, vegetable lumpia, crab chips, a soda, and a calamansi tart. Heads up, it’s only redeemable on weekdays for in-person dining." - hannah albertine
"This spot specializes in Filipino comfort food, and the menu is small and straightforward, so you won’t have to agonize over your order. Everything we’ve tried here is great, but on your first visit, get a bowl of BBQ chicken with rice. The meat is grilled to perfection, and smothered in a warm, peanutty sauce. They’ve got a few more bowl options, like pork adobo and vegan pancit as well. Get some bit-sized lumpia too; they’re served in a brown paper bag, making them an ideal on-the-go snack." - neha talreja, will hartman
"Tradisyon looks like a place one might go to build a salad that you can collect points for on an app, but it’s actually a solid Filipino spot in Hell’s Kitchen that works well for takeout. They serve many of the things you’d find on the menu at most Filipino restaurants in NYC, like kare-kare and pork sisig, but you want the squid adobo. It has more chewy, chopped up pieces of squid than you’ll find at most places for under $12, and the adobo sauce has a tinge of brininess. They let you choose between white rice and garlic rice with every entree, and you’ll only need one item to fill up." - nikko duren
"Tradisyon looks like the kind of place where you might be able to build a salad that you can accumulate points for on an app. It’s actually a solid, mostly takeout spot in Hell’s Kitchen that serves Filipino standards. But what you’re here for is the squid adobo, which has plentiful chewy, chopped-up pieces of squid and costs less than $12. There are about two-and-a-half tables inside, but they also have a bunch of outdoor seating." - neha talreja, nikko duren
