We ordered lumpiang sariwa, Bulalo, Crispy pata and Sisig since it s been a while since we had those. The servings are for sharing, and the food taste really good. Though the sisig is a little bit dry, nothing beats the kalamansi over lemon. We were served lemon as a sub. The place is small and the decor needs a little updating. But of course we didn t go there to be all fancy and do photo op. The food is flavorful and hits the spot, that is all that matters to me. Now we know where to go whenever we crave for Filipino food. Grill 21 is the place to be. Will definitely go back and try out other dishes that they have.

This was my first time ever trying Filipino food so I had no idea what to expect, but apparantely this place is quite authentic and the service was also good. The halo halo was the meal standout for me, it was refreshing and creamy with a great balance between the lightness of the ice and the richness of the Ube ice cream. Replacing white rice with garlic rice was 50 cents more, but I honestly couldn't taste that much of a difference since everything was slathered in sauce, anyway.

Best place to look for authentic filipino cuisine in Manhattan! I was looking for Filipino food in Manhattan, I searched and it yielded me some results. However, since I was looking for authentic, I landed on this restaurant. Other restaurants were fusion (especially the most reviewed ones), but this restaurant was the same as the ones served in Manila! I ordered Bicol Express, Ginataang Sitaw and Halo-Halo, and I loved it! Would definitely go back!

This place is unquestionably one of the coolest place to eat in the area. Whenever I come there I am awfully satisfied. They keep their very high level service and the highest level of cooking they provide. You are always happy with this place. Warmly recommended.

My husband and I were looking for a great Filipino restaurant in NYC and we came upon this small cozy restaurant. I had the longanisa and BBQ chicken with garlic rice - all were really good! I recommend the calamansi juice for anyone who likes sour or tart drinks like lemonade. Lastly, I recommend the halo-halo dessert topped with ube ice cream - yummy! My husband and I will definitely return to this place next year on our NYC trip.

I visit this nice place quite a bit! This is my favorite place to grab a bite. I go there many times. The meals are of high quality, the staff members are friendly and the rates are decent. I enjoy meeting in this place to have a decent supper.

Incredibly delicious and fairly priced. The platter menu offers you the chance to try two (smaller portions of) entrees with a sizeable portion of rice (or garlic rice, which is preferable!). Very small venue, but very homey. It's definitely worth dinner.

Closed between 4-5 pm, not that they ve bothered to update their new hours online since making the change more than a year ago. Must not be worth it to post accurate hours for prospective customers. Good luck, we ll take our business somewhere patrons are respected.

The food here is really good. I got an eggplant+pork lunch special the last time I went, and I really enjoyed it. The two times I went, I had the same server; she was friendly, and super helpful and patient about describing menu items. I hope to come back here many times!

We ordered the BBQ pork with garlic rice, the pork was tender and juicy. My wife ordered the tapa, over well eggs, and rice. The beef was thinly sliced and tough to eat! The table service was quick and the waiter was pleasant and helpful. The restaurant is very tiny, maybe 20 customers can dine comfortably at the most.

I love this place first time for me to come I have in trouble to find the place. But( Sulit ) Good food friendly staff My favorite are grilled liempo. I recommend this place if you want to eat authentic Pilipino food or you just missed home this perfect place.

I feel totally frustrated about this place. Last Dec 31, I ordered something for take out, and i did not inspect the bag of food they gave me. When I got home, the buco pandan i was craving for and paid for was not in the bag. I called them to ask them to refund me for it, and they have not refunded me. I went there today, jan 13, to order food, and i waited for 25 minutes to get my take out. 25 minutes passed and the lady said that she has not forwarded to the kitchen my order and i needed to wait for another 20 minutes. i just gave up and asked for my money back. You guys owe me a decent service big time.

I love Grill 21. It never has a wait and the lunch specials really hit the spot. If you live or work nearby, it's a seamless or postmates call away from having authentic, delicious Filipino cuisine delivered to your door step. LOVE their halo halo! Go there just for all those layers of sweetness.

Server was so respectful and great with giving us recommendations. The lechon kawali, lumpia and sinangag were exactly what I expected, super delicious. The kare kare was ok and tosino could have been more tender and sweet. The price was a bit higher than what I expected... typically $15+ per entree but the portions were fairly Large so it evened out I I suppose. Overall-great taste and service-highly recommend!

The place is really small so you'd definitely have to call ahead for large parties, but the food is great. I was working on a film that starred a family from the Philippines and there's a scene where they're all sitting down for dinner. I ordered the "prop" food from Grill 21 and all the actors were impressed by how authentic and tasty it was. The woman playing the mother said the Chicken Adobo was "just like what my mom used to make"...Mission Accomplished.
