We had the lumpiang Shanghai, chicken barbecue, pancit Canton, and a vegetable dish in coconut sauce. Everything came out fairly quickly and was flavorful and well prepared. I'd definitely come back for the food. Service was the weak point. Our order was taken right away, but our drinks were forgotten and no one checked on us again until we were basically finished. At one point, a street vendor even wandered into the restaurant and approached tables trying to sell baseball caps without any apparent response from the front of the house. The restaurant looks like it probably gets much livelier later in the evening. They were set up for music and advertise live performances, so 5 PM may simply have been too early to experience the place at its best. Overall, excellent Filipino food with service that could use some attention. I'd return, probably later in the evening next time.

The place has changed a bit, slightly different decor from the last time we were there. The atmosphere was more "bakya" than Kabayan (from across the street). Still nice. They kept the bar, which is good. The staff was friendly, but kind of rushed us to get our orders before the show started. They explained it would have been more difficult to take orders later. The food was really, really good. All the flavors were on point. For the appetizer, we had some Crispy Chicken Skins. It was nice and crispy, but it needed some more salt. We had the Port Belly Kare-Kare, Beef Salpicao, the Pancit Palabok, Laing and Gambas. The one that stole the show was the Bagnet. That was mind blowing! Very flavorful and I highly recommend it. Dare I say that the food was better than Kabayan. The Key Of C band rocked the whole night through. Everyone was dancing and enjoying the great music. It was such a fun-filled night. Definitely worth coming back to whether it's for the food or the music.

Came out in a sizzling platter with an egg and diced peppers topped with a red Thai? chili. It gets crispy as it sits and combined with the garlic rice is chef's kiss. Taro Leaves Sautéed in Coconut Milk 3/5 - not my cup of tea, it's a little bit on the heavy side, has a strong coconut milk flavor. Wasn't exactly my cup of tea. Palabok Overload 3/5 - was excited for this since I really enjoy Jollibee's Palabok. However, this dish lacked flavor. The sauce was lacking in flavor, it was not as shrimpy or seasoned as Jollibees. Combined with the noodles, it tasted even blander. The lumpia, calamari were good tho. This was a small restaurant but service was good. Food came out fast and staff was friendly and attentive.

If you go with a party of 4, I highly recommend sharing the BBQ Meats sampler, the fried sampler, and some rice on the side.

That said, I will absolutely be back next time I am craving Filipino food.

I loved it. The restaurant is located in Little Manila in NYC, so the vibes are already very Filipino which I love. This restaurant is very authentic Filipino, being in here felt like I was in the Philippines again. Everyone working here is so friendly and remind me of the Tito's and Tita's that would take care of you at the Filipino parties. I'm obviously biased being Filipino but I can say that the food was great and very well priced. The amount of food we got for what we ordered definitely had us bringing leftovers. I highly recommend the BBQ Sampler, it was only $30 and even that alone was enough to feed a family. There were so many things I wanted to try. If I lived in NYC I would probably be here too often. Come here and support the Filipino fam!!

Anyone with kids know with a young child, things can get dicey. You won't know at any moments time when you need to stop, drop, and roll. My girl was pretty calm and great the whole time, didn't expect anything less, but as usual, Kora was CROWDED. I felt hopeless about getting a table and I cannot compete with the adults with no kids, but I decided to take a chance. I got 2 pastries and a drink to sit and enjoy. After I paid, I look behind me, and of course, no seats. But then the employee who was also the door person/greeter, saw my distress, heard my concern, and then helped me get a table outside. I expressed my concern that I wouldn't be able to hear my name for my drink, and I cannot leave my daughter outside. She insisted that she would service my table. The employee got me my drink, napkins, utensils, and told me if I needed anything else, just ask her. It's the service like this that makes me feel not limited whenever I want to go to Kora, and I am very inclined to go back when I am solo parenting.

The ube broiche looks way may interesting than it proved to be, the coffee cruller was very good, the jasmine blackberry donut was excellent...the parmesan croissant had an odd funkiness to the cheese against a too sweetened butter filling? If you are going savory, go savory. It was a little too in between. The matcha pandan lattes just weren't quite our jam, and we are both pandan and matcha lovers. Prepare to wait as there's a lot of chit chat happening between customers and the staff. We waited a full 4-5 minutes to even see the pastries because the dude behind the counter gave a multi-minute monologue on the preparation of absolutely every ingredient in each of the breakfast sandwiches, which the people didn't even order. It was a little annoying. Could he have brought them further down the queue so the people behind could even see what was on display? Yes, yes he could have. Overall, I don't think I would go out of our way again to visit Kora. It was good, but it wasn't transcendent.

I highly recommend getting them with a side of rice if you need a quick meal. The sisig was not my favorite item - I found the dish to be a bit too fatty, but it was well seasoned. Unfortunately, the tocino was a bit dry. As expected, the lechon kawali and longanisa were absolutely banging, so I would highly recommend getting them! In terms of drinks - my friend thought their sago was way too sweet. The halo halo was good, but the ice is on the chunkier side.

Famous for its charcoal-grilled skewers and communal Kamayan platters, the restaurant delivers an authentic, down-to-earth dining experience. The sweet-and-savory grilled pork and chicken skewers are undisputed crowd-pleasers. They are caramelized to perfection and pair beautifully with garlic rice. The restaurant offers multi-person platters served on banana leaves. It's a great, interactive way for groups to try a variety of meats and seafood. Beyond the grill, fans frequently praise the crispy pata (fried pork knuckle), lumpia(spring rolls), and kare-kare (oxtail in peanut sauce). Widely considered one of the most reasonably priced spots for quality Filipino cuisine in the borough. The dining room is located on the second floor. It has a lively, casual atmosphere that often features loud music. While many diners highlight the friendly and humorous service, online reviews show mixed opinions about customer service, with some visitors citing occasional long wait times or abrupt interactions at the takeout counter. Still, it is a pleasant place to have a meal when opting for Filipino food.

But a great Filipino restaurant offers meals beyond the crowd-pleasers, from regional dishes like monggo, lomi, and inasal.
