Halo-Halo
Maria W.

Hellloooo Halo-Halo! They do it right here with crushed ice, evaporated milk, ube, sweet beans, sugar palm kaong, jackfruit strips, nata de coco gelatin, ice cream and flan. So, so good. Nothing takes you back like a nostalgic sugar rush from the happy snacks of childhood. If the ice cream was Ube flavor, this dessert would be perfect and I'd be 5 years old again.

BBQ sign!!

Wish they use less plastics for dine in but what do I know right. This place is perfectly located on our way to Costco and parking never issue. Also with the liquor shop next door, you can get a quick bite here after all the shopping. We wanted to come here for a while now since we moved upstate partially. After being sick of Costco hot dog for a meal, we decided to drop in here for a quick snack. The noodle is the must here. You can get a meal combo with a drink for around $10. There are so so much snack. If you are Filipino, it's like a candy store here. They have so many dishes to choose from and that will require at least 10+ visits to eat them all. Space is reasonably spacious. I think they can arrange the seats and shelves better than it is at the moment. The decor can use some updating.

Authentic Filipino taste and the price is right on the spot. Not too fancy and not too poorly managed. Had been here a couple of times for my catering needs and they always meet my expectations. The dinuguan (pork blood stew), bistek (beef steak), spring rolls are some of my family's fave Filipino food. The leche flan is a perfect as a dessert and so does the sapin-sapin. The staffs here are very friendly too, feels like home to me. I highly recommend this to all foodies who would like ti explore Filipino dishes.

Mongolian beef with garlic rice and coconut curry squash and string beans
Lisette R.

Food was tasty but beef was really fatty and all the food in the hear trays was so lukewarm, I don't know if it would be considered safe. I'd give them another chance because I like supporting local mom and pop eateries. They also have a grocery store for Filipino products. Next time I'd order off the menu instead of from heat trays. The desserts look tasty.

Pork with rice
Tony T.

Stopped by on the way to the Catskills and wanted some Filipino food. Ordered the chicken adobo, pork with coconut milk and grilled pork with rice. All the dishes were tasty. The chicken adobo was tender and the adobo sauce was great over the rice. The pork with coconut milk was also very tender and the sweetness of the coconut milk gave an added depth of flavor. And the grilled pork was my kid's favorite. there was nothing left over! Enjoyed my brief visit to the Tropical Hut and wouldn't hesitate to stop here again when I'm in the area.

Horrible dry fish
Brad B.

I was hoping for a great experience, but not. Fish was as dry and hard as possible, its was inedible. Glass noodles had minimal flavor and were over cooked, I had to add a ton of Suracha to taste anything. Pulled pork, vinegar based was very good, not excellent. One of the refrigerators in the dining area sounded like a truck, horrible. Service was great, very sweet ladies serving.

Food was delicious and they have affordable prices they also have a mini grocery store too! I love that its near my work, so every lunch time I can just go out and buy food there. People working there are nice and friendly! Ambiance of the place is also good!

A Filipino Gem in Yonkers - Comfort Food Done Right…read more If you're craving authentic Filipino comfort food with a modern twist, Hapag Filipino in Yonkers is absolutely worth the stop. We ordered the Lola Basket, and it truly lived up to its name--warm, nostalgic, and packed with all the little bites you remember from family gatherings. The basket itself was generous and beautifully arranged, like something your grandmother would prepare before insisting you eat more. Every item was spot-on: * Crispy lumpia with that perfect shatter when you bite in. * Tender pork skewers, smoky with just the right hint of sweetness. * Garlic rice that actually tastes like garlic rice, not bland filler. * And the pancit--light, savory, and layered with flavor the way it should be. What stood out most was how everything tasted fresh and intentionally prepared. The Lola Basket is the kind of sampler that gives you a little bit of everything without compromising quality. Service was friendly, warm, and genuinely welcoming--exactly the kind of hospitality that makes Filipino dining special. You can feel the pride in the food and the culture from the moment you walk in. If you're looking for a place to introduce someone to Filipino cuisine, want a comforting weekend meal, or just miss real home-cooked flavors, Hapag Filipino hits the mark. The Lola Basket alone is reason enough to come back. Highly recommend.

The place has short hours which is unfortunate maybe it's the area they're located in. When you…read morewalk in you're welcomed warmly and the staff is very friendly. They do charge more if you use a credit card instead of paying cash. The ambiance is inviting and warm, they have tables and also a community table next to the cashier. I ordered the lumpia pork which were amazing but tiny. The sweet sauce was ok, tasted more like duck sauce than sweet chili. I may have been unlucky there with the pour. But the lumpia were very authentic and full of flavor. The pancit was a let down, the noodles were still a bit raw and not much in terms of seasoning or flavor. It was a huge let down as it's usually one of my favorite Filipino dishes to order. The place had a good crowd inside and lots of to go orders being picked up. Will definitely try again as the food was decent despite the let down with the pancit. I did cook the noodles a little longer at home and added more seasoning and it became amazing. So taking it as a tiny error on their part otherwise it would have been a 5 star review. Since some reviews mention they only cater to Filipinos that is not true at all from my experience. I'm not Filipino and they were warm and friendly. (Not even sure why I have to put this, but seems to be necessary as the 1-3 star reviews all claimed they got poor food and service cause they were not Filipino)

Hapág Bistro is a wonderful spot that I've enjoyed both dining in and ordering takeout from, and…read moreit's been consistently great each time. The food is incredibly flavorful and satisfying. It really feels like a home cooked meal made with care. While the prices aren't the cheapest, the quality and taste absolutely justify it. You can tell there's a lot of attention put into each dish. My personal favorite is the lechon kawali paired with their garlic rice. It is crispy, rich, and packed with flavor. The dining space itself is cute, cozy, and very clean, making it a perfect little date night spot. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, which adds to the overall experience. It isn't the fastest service, so I wouldn't recommend coming here if you're on a time crunch. It's a great place to sit down and relax, and really enjoy the food. One thing to keep in mind is that their hours can be a bit unusual, so it's definitely worth checking ahead before you go. Location-wise, it's also a great stop. It is just a short walk from the local brewery and the rail trail, making it an ideal place to grab a meal after a walk or before heading out for a couple of beers. Overall, a fantastic spot if you're looking for comforting, high quality Filipino food in a cozy setting.

The only other time I'd been to a Filipino spot was years ago at Jeepney in NYC with Yelp friends…read morefor a UYE. I'm not claiming expert status on Filipino food because I'm nowhere close. But there are a few universal similarities with Latin food: rice, seafood (because I'm a pescatarian) and garlic- to name a few. Then there's their halo-halo dessert. So when Hapág Bistro popped up in my Yelp pages- in Highland, NY no less and conveniently close to work- I was in. Hapág is cozy the second you step in here. My eyes immediately went up to the ceiling where these folks have faux greenery+florals hanging across the space. It actually softens Hapág and adds a little "nature". I was here on a tight clock and didn't have time to sit down for a full meal. But while I looked at the menu at work, one thing immediately jumped at me: halo-halo. This thing is sweet. It's a sweet explosion of shaved ice, creamy ube goodness, jellies, fruit and leche flan tucked in like little treasures. Then comes the ice cream on top tying the whole shit together. Every spoonful is cold, creamy and sugary in the best way. Shoutout to my girl Danielle, who was super pleasant and had one of those smiles that totally makes the place feel even more welcoming. Next time I'll actually stay long enough to eat real food- but for a quick pop-in, Hapág came out on top with dessert alone.

Here that's always the case, plus when they do open for the day they're all set up and Ready to Rock!! The staff here must be working all night long or something to be able to pull that amazing task off, super impressive.

Mama Fina's has been one of my favorite Filipino restaurants since their old Elmwood Park location,…read moreand the food is still delicious in Hackensack. The pork sisig is a must-have here. We also had the Bicol Express, which was spicy and simple. There is plenty of street parking plus extra parking in the back. I also like that they sell small grocery items inside the restaurant. The service is not as friendly as I remember from the Elmwood Park days, but the food still makes up for it. I'll always stay loyal to Mama Fina's. Small fact is I actually met Mama Josefina herself.

I've heard of Mama Finas from friends for their famous sisig. When you walk in, you go directly to…read morethe counter to order and they will bring your food to you. It is very casual. - Pork Sisig (5/5): some of the best Sisig I've had. The pork belly is SO crispy even after we were almost done eating! The sauce wasn't too overpowering and heavy. Loved the fresh zing of the red onions. The spicy one is the way to go. - Garlic Fried Rice (4.5/5): I could eat this on its own. So good. The rice was a bit mushy but otherwise great taste - Kare-kare (4/5): a soupier variation of the peanut based sauce I've tried. The oxtail chunks were tender, but all sliced really thin and very few pieces of each. Also lacking a bit in the green beans and okra- flavor was good though. I like the Sisig the best. Only a bit bummed by the high price and small portion sizes
