Hapag Filipino Cuisine — Restaurant in City of Yonkers

I don’t dislike the place I’m disappointed at the quality of food to go they serve! I try to be patient and tell myself ok maybe another time it will be better but no! I ordered sizzling sisig a month ago and it wasn’t appetizing very dry and the meat is old. I have addressed this before when I ordered on a separate occasion. They apologized and refunded. So I ordered again, today pork adobo and pancit palabok. So skimpy on pork and again lemme tell you I can tell the difference between freshly cooked pork and most probably recycled pork. I’m so disappointed and it is overly sour. I feel like I wasted driving and paying. And before you tell me I should cook my own food so I won’t be complaining, I never disliked this place. Maybe it’s the cook I don’t like the way he cooks lol. I used to dine in here and no problem except that some food is slightly salty. I came here prepared to bring to work food and I regretted it. By far kare kare and lechon kawali was my fave. I wanted to try every single dish but not everything is done well. For the price you charge and quality of food you serve it’s not quite fair?! I’m just giving my honest opinion on this matter. Of course we all have different taste buds and im not a picky eater either. I just want good quality tasting Filipino dish that’s...

I've been to plenty of Filipino restaurants in New York over the years, and almost all try and do something funky/fusion-style to the ingredients or preparation to make it more palatable to a sophisticated clientele looking for novelty.

Hapag does none of that, keeping its cooking true to the staple Filipino dishes you'd find at any party or holiday gathering in the Philippines, and is all the better for it. If you're looking for honest-to-goodness, pure Filipino food, Hapag does it extremely well from start to finish, with some clear standouts such as the pork barbecue, pork sisig, tortang talong and halo-halo.

The pork barbecue hits the spot, with the right level of tenderness, meat-to-fat ratio, and smoky flavoring. Have been craving this for awhile and this was as good as anything you can get back in Manila. We liked it so much we got a second order for takeout, to serve at a gathering of other Filipinos the day after.

The tapsilog was fine but still a but overcooked (which I find consistent with all Filipino-American restaurants), but does the job well enough if you have a craving.

Finally, service had the warmth and cheerfulness that captures the best of Filipino hospitality. It's a bit of a trek outside the city but worth it if you're looking for authentic Filipino...

This new establishment in Yonkers was my first experience with Filipino cuisine in the area, and I was not disappointed. We shared a Bilao ni Nanay (listed for 3-4 people), and got a Pork Sisig in a Sizzling plate to round off the feast. The variety on the bilao was great- there was lumpia, skewers, and roasted chicken (some of the tenderest I’ve tasted- somehow the white meat was juicer than the dark?). IT also came with a tangy pork belly soup which really helped to cut through the richness of the pork sisig. The sisig is the definition of a comfort food-pork, onion, liver, and egg served on a sizzling, greasy plate. I could feel my arteries clogging as I ate it but I couldn’t stop eating it. The textures and flavors contained in that dish harmonized perfectly to bring content to your stomach. A couple of points: the menu doesn’t describe any of the dishes, but the staff is happy to answer any question you have. There was no Halo Halo on the day we went, so we will definitely be coming back to destroy it. The place is currently decked out for the holidays, and the bench seating and warm-temperature lights really make for a cheery atmosphere this winter. Definitely...
