"The Pancit Batil Patong is also super satisfying thanks to slick, savory noodles that cozy up to chewy bites of pork chicharron, mixed together tableside on a banana leaf. The Lechon Platter for two is a showstopper, and with a few small plates, could easily feed four. Generous chunks of pork belly - soft in all the right places and shatteringly crisp in all the others - are nestled alongside jasmine rice, and a rotating cast of grilled and pickled vegetables."
"The front space is casual, with smaller tables and action from the lively bar. The back dining room is refined yet playful, with soft lighting, wood paneling, and a mural of leafy greens, evoking a chic treehouse vibe. The four canned beers, made by Unapologetic Foods with Long Island City's Transmitter Brewing, are exclusive to the group's eight restaurants. Each has its own twist - like basmati rice in the lager or coconut in the IPA - and all pair well with the menu's savory dishes."
Naks delivers Filipino home cooking with comforting, carby, and meaty dishes layered in peanut sauces and bold flavors.
