"Naks is a new Filipino restaurant in the East Village, seeking to showcase the food of the Philippines in the same way that the Unapologetic Foods restaurant group has done for South Asian cuisine."
"Soon after you settle in at your table for the prix-fixe kamayan at Naks, a new restaurant in the East Village, a smiling server will arrive and ask you to get back up again. Kamayan-the word is Tagalog for 'by hand'-is a Filipino feast eaten without utensils; with this in mind, Naks is (cleverly, thoughtfully, perhaps beautifully) outfitted with a sink, situated in a discreet corner of the room, to which all diners are led before commencing their meals."
"Eric Valdez, the executive chef and co-owner of Naks, was born in the Filipino city of Makati. Before opening Naks, he spent two years as the chef de cuisine at the marvellous Dhamaka, on the Lower East Side, where he oversaw the creation of some of New York's most thrilling Indian dishes."
