Reviews for BILAO in New York, NY
My first time for lunch in this nook on 1st Ave. and 74th st., customer-friendly, one-man-band, seems short-staffed. Wall... decorated with "bilao" native woven platters in different sizes, large colorful mural displays E74th st, news clipping ofproprietors. Menu had mostly crossed-off dishes, Mike, states "unavailable" Our group was lucky to try " pinakbet" " Ampalaya"Fried fish with rice, Soda, All overwhelmingly salty, including vinegar sauce for the fried fish.Enough to trigger cardiac eventfor the vulnerable.Sweet Turon for dessert saves the day.

The most incredible Filipino food ever! The loveliest people work here. Great indoor/outdoor eating.
Fried pork belly and Kare kare beef curry were great! I wish desserts are available. Highly recommend this place!
We bought longsilog, tapsilog, and arrozcaldo for breakfast and later we had shrimp sinigang and inihaw BBQ chicken. All were so... delicious and I highly recommend them! Their lumpiang shanghai is really good too! We usually go to Bilao after my doctor'sappointment and I believe the location is very convenient to the hospitals - Cornell, HSS, Sloan Kettering, and Mount Sinai. Welove supporting local businesses and healthcare workers. The management is a group of nurses which is amazing! Read more
Crispy Pata and Lumpiang Shanghai were absolutely amazing. I also got a calamansi juice, and it was great. I recommend going in... as a group and order a few as the portion is huge for the price. Read more
Yummy and affordable Filipino food in Upper East Side. The menu has a variety of dishes to choose and pretty affordable. The... food is very well-seasoned. Sisig is so good, highly recommend. The bulalo has a little sourness, while the kare kare has a verystrong peanut butter taste. The vegetable dish is creamy from the coconut milk. Read more
Great neighborhood. Indoor and outdoor seating. No alcohol. I tried many dishes. Pork everything. The pork egg rolls were great.... The Lechon was amazing. Deserts were fantastic also. Try this place for sure. Read more
This was my go-to comfort restaurant until tonight. I ordered via Uber Eats (I have contacted them). Uptown receiving my order,... to my surprise, the portion I received was nothing was disappointing. I ordered Bicol Express, and it was less than half of apint (much less than 12 oz). I have preferred here before and their portions have always been reasonable but tonight was a muchmore different level of capitalism and stinginess. I retract my previous review of this restaurant and I would implore othercustomers to go to Grill 21. They are always consistent with their customers. Read more
