    Super tasty food and delicious cocktails! This spot offers lip-smacking good small to large plates in a casual setting. Hubs and I went for the "Family Meal" for 2- a good and very filling deal of 2 small plates, 1 big plate, 1 noodle, bottomless rice, and donuts or Jello shots. We also each got a Cocktail Flight of 3 yummy, thoughtful, heady, and full-size drinks. While everything from our order was very good, standouts were the Sizzling Sisig, Chili Pan Mee, and the Coconut Rice. Everything's so good, you'll be oinking and mooing! NOTES/TIPS: *Wheelchair-accessible. *Excellent down-to-earth service. *Menu periodically changes.

    So great! Service was impeccable, and the food is absolutely fantastic. I love the ambiance as well - very fun, colorful, a bit loud, with pop music. Favorite dishes include the sizzling sisig, whole fish, and the green papaya salad. While the spareribs fell off the bone, they were a bit chewy, which was an odd paradox. The noodles also could have used a bit more spice. Small thing, but I wish they had a hook for my purse.

    Oo this is an interesting spot. I've been wanting to try more Filipino foods in the city, and this was one option and came up a couple times. Came here for brunch and this restaurant is a bit grunge (in an intentional way). The sink is duct-taped, and their expanded seating area in the back is a bit dark and cold (and feels a bit like you're outside?). The restaurant front is a bit hard to find and very unassuming. I ordered the sigsig with garlic rice and also tried the khao soi and pan mee noodles. Everything was super flavorful, but I was a bit disappointed by the portion sizes for the price AND the fact that the sigsig didn't come with rice? It's an extremely salty and overwhelming dish without it, so I highly recommend getting that as a side. My partner really enjoyed the food FWIW. Also tried the cilantro soda out of curiosity and I think it is worth skipping. It's kind of like a sprite with cilantro leaves in it, and not worth it for $9. We were able to make reservations easily and there's a brunch-specific menu on the weekends. It wasn't overwhelmingly busy on a Sunday peak brunch hours but fairly lively. Service was friendly, and food comes out as it's ready (but our food came altogether)

    Service was a mixed bag of good and bad, food was just alright and dessert were forgettable. Their NA drinks are better than the actual cocktails. Sisig is worth coming back for but not enough for a full meal.

    We did the combo on the day and that was probably the best value for what we got. We also got the drinks combo which was ideal. We got quite a bit of different foods and it wasn't even really busy yet but our food took quite a while to come out after the apps and first couple mains. The ambiance of the place is nice and it's quite unique. However I wasn't very wowed by the flavors of the food. They were all good but just that. I think it does appeal to a lighter taste and would be a good exploration into the cuisine but not really for someone who's familiar in my opinion

    Been there for a friend's Birthday party- It is good for bigger groups-They have a reasonalble menu for parties. Place has great vibe and ambiance is nice too- Had a great time- Serving staff is awesome too and they really take care of the party. Food was good. Totally recommend!! We all even got complimentary shots!! Shrimp spring rolls were the best-For party of 20 we had two small plates-one main entree and Noodles with two kind of desserts!

    This Thai/Filipino spot on the LES feels like a party, but with flavorful, interesting dishes This Southeast Asian restaurant led by the talented chef Leah Cohen is an excellent pick for a lively meal with friends. Be sure to order the whole fried fish, P&K wings ,Khao Soi, Hainanese Duck and finish with the traditional dessert Turon. What we tried Drinks Fool me twice Sweet and sour cilantro soda Appetizers P&K Chicken wings Shrimp & pork spring rolls Main course Khao soi Whole fried fish Hainanese Duck Desserts Turon Stop by and dine in today Love the spot and the food is super scrumptious

    Fantastic food. Big fan of chef Cohen and this spot doesn't disappoint. Big r&b vibes with famous pan Asian type style foods. Ie- sisig, Bo Kho, hainanese duck. Must order... P&k wings We were late with our resy and they were able to move things around and get us seated. Much love to the Pig & Khao crew

    curried beef skewers

    Food: 4.5/5 | Service: 4.5/5 | Experience: 4.5/5 Seating at least at the front of the restaurant is a bit tight. My party of 2 ordered the sizzling sisig, curried beef skewers, the coco rice, and the Hainanese duck. The sisig was the best thing I had; it was salty, texturally interesting, and tart from the squeeze of lime we put. The skewers were merely ok; I wasn't too impressed by the taste. The rice was creamy and rich and a bit sweet. By the time the duck arrived, we were full, but had to at least try the duck; it was perfectly cooked, beautifully presented, and the portion size was fair for the price.

    I went here the day after Christmas around 7:30pm. It was 7 adults and two children. The children were under 6 years old. We wanted to do the family style dinner but that's only up to 8 ppl. Because the restaurant counts the amount of ppl at the table, we were one person over and could not do the family style dinner. We were a bit disappointed especially given the children were so young and did not eat anything at dinner. But we just ended up ordering individual meals. The food was good. The service was ok as the waitress seemed to be bothered to be at work.

    Pork Belly Adobo and Coco Rice

    I was craving a little Filipino comfort food so I stopped in to Pig and Khao on a rainy day and I'm glad I did! The inside was really cute and definitely a great spot to go for groups or for a date night. The servers were really nice and did ask before ordering if I had any dietary accommodations that needed to be made. I ordered the pork belly adobo and coconut rice. The pork belly was both tender and crispy and full of classic adobo flavors. I loved it paired with coconut rice. I will most definitely be back here with a group so I can try more of the small and large plates. The sinigang shrimp looked so good and I can't wait to try that dish in the future!

    Great brunch spot. Came here with a friend on a Saturday morning a little before 11am and was seated immediately. We started with a Vietnamese Iced Coffee to get our caffeine fix in. We got the Sizzling Corned Beef Hash and Banh Xeo to share, which were both good. Glad we got to try this place!

    Khao Soi (Top) ; Chili Pan Mee (Bottom)
    Veronica L.

    I was looking forward to trying this spot bc I've heard good things. However, I must've ordered the wrong dish bc my Chili Pan Mee was SALTY. It wasn't even the anchovies, but the pork! I had to ask the staff for some lime to cut through the saltiness. It made it hard for me to finish my bowl. Other than that, the noodles were a good texture and the bowl had just the right amount of spice. Staff were attentive and informed us on how to eat the dishes. Unfortunately, I'm a bit reluctant to come back, as I've had better Filipino, Viet, and Thai food at other spots for the same price point. I'm glad other folks in LES enjoy the spot though.

    Is this place appropriate to have my two kids along for an early 5:00 dinner?

    Early should be fine for kids. Later in the evening it is quite packed and more lively with loud music so I wouldn't recommend.

    I couldn't find sisig on their menu. Did they get rid of it? Does anyone remember the name of their watermelon cocktail drink?

    It's on the appetizer menu now. Unsure if the portions changed

    Can we order your Restaurant Week delivery on Yelp? What's the menu?

    I don't know the answer to this, but I can vouch for the Goldbelly nationwide DIY prep kit delivery service that they participate in. In my Yelp writeup I discuss the various dishes I received.

    Do they do restaurant week for winter 2020?

    Yes! We went last night for restaurant week $42/person

    Are there a good number of gluten-free options on the menu?

    Yes a lot of the meat and vegetables don't have gluten

    Does Pig & Khao have happy hour?? Any details on it?

    They do not.

    Peanut allergy food options?

    A large portion of our menu does not contain peanuts.

    Do they serve the Pad Thai Pancake all day everyday?

    The Padcakes are only served at dinner. They are available from 5-7pm 7 days a weeks in limited quantities, we recommend coming in early to make sure you get one before they are gone.

They even played throwback jams and I had liked how this one busser was vibing to the music as he was waiting to assist at a table. It was the food I had problems with. For appetizer I had order the Vegetable Egg roll and it didn't say on the menu that the dip was spicy nor did the waiter, my mouth was burning all through dessert, I had to drink so much water. That sauce tasted like hot sauce and I hate hot sauce!!! The sauce went through my nose and through my mouth, this sauce really messed up my pallet. I had order for the entree Thai Sweet and Spicy Shrimp, I couldn't tell if it was really that spicy because I still had the burning sensation in my mouth from the appetizer still!!! For dessert I had order the banana pudding crumble and it looked like a crumble of mess, it tasted good when you got to the bottom to the pudding. The presentation of this dessert was a hot mess, it looked like a rushed job the chef threw in the two cut banana's and the vanilla wafer cookies and chopped up the cookie and just dumped it in the dish. I did like the dish the dessert came in. My biggest complaint is that sauce never be served and the disappointing banana pudding. I mean how do you mess up banana pudding. I was taken to the second floor and was really shocked it had a top floor, just like I was stunned to learn that I had to go down the stairs to restroom. The restroom was clean. I thought it was funny how the men's room was called Yang and the woman's was called Yin. My biggest problem with the restroom was they have toilet seat covers over the toilet, but it was an empty box and I had used two different stalls before and after my meal. And I said how there was a bathroom attendant in there. For a well known restaurant, I had excepted a better experience from Tao's.

The eggplant salad is a bit like a thai babaganoush and a little on the small side. The pork salad was good.

Wonderful! We ordered a few of the classics, a Beef Pad Si-Iw, Pla Tod, Roasted Masamum Vegatable Curry. We also got a few of the drinks, which are selected from a rather interesting, colorful menu. And oh do the drinks come out rather strikingly resembling that menu, for better or for worse. The restaurant itself is nice. It's decorated to theme, it's delicious to the nose, and the food is yes, fine. Even the takeaway bag for leftover food was super cute. But in particular I thought the drinks were mediocre, really falling short of what rival Fish Cheeks had to offer. They felt a bit more focused on color, and what I might expect at a 'Rainforest Cafe' type of establishment than a New York City cocktail bar. I don't know. As they said, comparison is the thief of joy. But when you're in a competition and your patrons pay money? I say compare away.

About four years ago, this was one of my favorite takeout spots in the city. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, the flavors were unmatched, and every dish looked just like the photos. I recommended it to countless friends and ordered the grilled lemongrass chicken vermicelli bowl and peanut street noodles at least once a month. The peanut street noodles, in particular, were one of my favorite dishes anywhere. Over the past few years, though, the quality has steadily declined. The peanut street noodles became dry and bland, portions got smaller, the vegetables seemed less fresh, and the once-crispy tofu bites consistently arrived soggy. I kept hoping each order would be better because I genuinely loved this place. Tonight was the final straw. I ordered the grilled lemongrass chicken vermicelli bowl, only to receive an entirely different noodle than what is advertised. The menu still states that it comes with vermicelli noodles, but I was served oily rice noodles instead. The dressing also tasted like a cheap bottled vinaigrette rather than the fresh sauce this dish used to have. I called the restaurant to ask if there had been a mistake, and I was told they no longer use vermicelli because they're too expensive to source. I completely understand that rising food costs and supply issues have made it difficult for restaurants to operate. I truly empathize with that. However, if a signature dish has changed this dramatically, the menu should reflect those changes. Customers shouldn't order one thing and receive something entirely different. I understand that businesses sometimes need to adapt, but I would much rather see a smaller menu built around ingredients you can source consistently than beloved dishes changed beyond recognition. It's disappointing because this restaurant used to be exceptional. Sadly, the care and quality that made it so special no longer seem to be there, and after years of hoping things would improve, I'll be ordering elsewhere.
