Every time I come back to NYC for a visit, I always stop at Piggyback and it never disappoints. The food is amazing, the ambiance is lively, the cocktails are so delicious and packs a great kick. Kudos to the bartender! And a special shout out to Neil who was a fabulous server. He was prompt, professional, courteous and had excellent recommendations. The rest of the staff was lovely and amazing as well. Thank you for such a wonderful experience! I’ll be back!

Excellent food, but a little crowded, loud and chaotic. Which speaks to its popularity, but made it difficult to have a conversation or really savor the excellent food.

We're big fans of Pig and Khao, so were looking forward to trying Piggyback. The menu is more "pan-Asian" and varied than strictly Filipino. All the food was tasty and the vibe is fun. Great for groups or pre-game at MSG.
