It is great to have unique restaurants that are around to try. This place was recommended and the food was beyond great! Their combo of rice and egg noodles dish was delicious, fresh ingredients and can feed easily 2 people. All their portions are definitely easy enough to share with other. The fried pork sizzling platter was crispy and had such great flavor. Some of their main dishes don't come with rice- highly recommend getting their garlic rice to pair with any protein dish. Their desserts can also be shared and are not too sweet and carry hints if unique citrus or Filipino flavors. Will definitely be back to try other dishes!
Let me first say that the owner of this restaurant is just lovely and she really made my husband and I feel at home. We braved the snow to try Hapag Bistro and it was worth it. We shared the Lumpia Sampler; crispy and delicious with a perfect sweet chili sauce for dipping. Yum! I had the Pork Sisig with garlic rice and savored every bite. My husband had the Chicken Sisig and fancied it so much he can't wait to try the rest of the menu. Give Hapag Bistro a try. We are so glad we did!
Came for lunch before driving back after a long weekend in Catskill. So happy we did! Since the restaurant only seats 22 people, reservations recommended. This is a no frills family owned Filipino restaurant. Loved: Lumpia sampler (wished the veggie one wasn't so oily but everything was tasty.) Chicken adobo with garlic rice )chicken was falling off the bones and so delicious) Pork Siggs (mix of crispy skin pork, peppers, onions, and scallions were so flavorful) Halo Halo (An beautiful dessert to get for hot days. Shaved ice with Ube syrup, coconut ice cream, jelly, and red beans. Just wished their ice was more shaved.) The following dishes were too dry for my liking: Fish siggs and Beef. Family friendly place except for the bathroom (small and therefore no room to have a baby changing table). Overall a gem for this area bringing authentic and rich flavors!
So good. I can't believe we didn't know about this place sooner. The garlic rice is delicious. We got the pork belly which was so delicious. The chicken adobo was great. Only thing we didn't get to try was the pork knuckle.
Food was amazing and the service was too! We were able to sit immediately. The waitress gave us wonderful recommendations and interesting tidbits about Filipino culture. We were offered a free sample that tasted wonderful. It is a quaint restaurant and I would definitely return.
Such a gem! The food was very tasty. We ate almost everything we ordered. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. Service was friendly and genuine. It’s the kind of place I root for . Would definitely come back with friends for kamayan!.
Absolutely loved the restaurant. It’s just like home cooked food in the Philippines. The staff was as friendly as can be. Food equally amazing. We will make this a must stop place for any Catskills trips from NYC.
Hapag is a treasure! The lechon kawali was crispy and tasty. The sisig was sizzling and flavorful. The halo halo was one of the best I’ve tried in the USA! The restaurant has a quaint and artsy atmosphere. The service was great. We loved chatting with the owner Cecilia! We will definitely be back with our kids. I wish you had a location in Connecticut.
Me and my husband felt like we were visiting a traditional Filipino home. Everything was so delicious and the portions were so generous. Very flavorful !!
My lovely wife and I went here for lunch on the way to Minnewaska to celebrate our Anniversary. The hostess is very welcoming, attentive, kind, and overall a great person. We ordered the Pork Sisig and Pancit. My wife was so happy in how the Pancit tastes like home. It is not overly sweet with oyster sauce, and yet very flavorful. The Pork Sisig is very crispy and blends well with the peppers and onions. We both enjoyed our lunch here!
