replying to u/rpbextra: Oh! Did you end up finding a good Filipino restaurant though? I tried Kalye in LES last night and it was just OK.
“I like Ihawan too, but I've only gone there once and only had the BBQ platter meal + sisig. Both restaurants are good options and would recommend”

replying to u/elevenpaperairplane: Isn't Pig and Khao on the UWS still open? Looking at their current menus for [group events](https://www.pigandkhao.com/events?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMTIxNzk4MTY0NDg3OTYyOAABp3URFXQU-tQPuRf_1khDQSB7AfqkmM46iJdoU_EEWsXq25JGa0eDVjyKuIrf_aem_u5pzdAGnIVvBNK2a7mJOkg), you can do Family Meals for $65-85pp, and there's a Kamayan set for 8 at $99pp I haven't tried Pig and Khao, but if you want something cheaper/more casual I can vouch for the Kamayan at [Ihawan](https://www.ihawan-ny.com/) (Jackson Heights, so not Manhattan/Bklyn). Looks like it's $20pp for 8 people; I only had the Kamayan for 2 and it was great!
“Seconding Ihawan for an affordable kamayan! Lots of food and fun to share.”

replying to u/JackCrainium: Thanks - is it Roosevelt Ave? I think someone mentioned them to me - do they have a takeout counter with cuts on display?
“my family and I’d say most of the people who have migrated and lived in the area go there if they want the closest to authentic and best tasting in general Filipino food experience. When I had a kid’s picky preference in food their pork bbq sticks/ lechon kawali/ Bicol express/crispy pata or sisig is banging”
