NAKS: NYC’s “Fine-Dining” Filipino Adventure (Hit or Miss?) 🍗🔥
Tried NAKS for Restaurant Week—where $45 buys crispy fried chicken glory, bland eggplant mysteries, and caramel-flooded flan nightmares. Here’s the brutally honest take: 🌟 Must-Orders 🍗 Fried Chicken: Crispy, juicy, eggplant mayo dip = worth the calories. 🐮 Beef Cheeks: Tender, saucy—but served lukewarm (👀 pre-made?). 🥥 Buko Pandan: Coconut jelly = light, floral, safe bet. ⚠️ Proceed With Caution 🐷 Lechon Belly: Plastic-like skin (RIP, crispy dreams). 🍮 Leche Flan: Sugar tsunami (diabetes in a cup). 🦐 Curry Fish: Just… fine (skip for chicken). 💡 Reality Check • Service: Chaotic (understaffed or overwhelmed?). • Vibes: Sleek but soulless (missing Filipino warmth). • Value: RW deal = good, but order smart (stick to fried chicken). Hot Take: 6.5/10—Go for the chicken, dodge the flan. Your fave NYC Filipino spot? Educate me below! 👇 #NAKSnyc #FilipinoFood #RestaurantWeekRoulette #FriedChickenWins #FlanFail
