Pinoy Boi — Restaurant in Buffalo

By far the most authentic Filipino food in about a 4-5 city radius.

The owners/head chef also told me he grew up in the Philippines, and he speaks fluent Tagalog!

Whether you’re satisfying a sweet tooth, winning over your in-laws, or feeding a hungry crew, this is the...

How do I move on with my life after eating the best dessert I'm ever going to have...

I also ordered the ube cheesecake and cried legitimate tears of joy because it was so good. Not entirely sure how to move on with my life now that I'll never get to try the world's most perfect dessert for the first time again, but that's a me problem. Anyway, it's gonna be 5 stars from me,...
