    This was our second time eating at Pig and Khao. We had a wonderful experience the first time, coming for dinner. This time, we came for brunch and our experience was just as wonderful! Service was on point. Mike remembered us from the first time. That says a lot. The other wait staff were also very attentive, but definitely not overbearing. Tables are set close to one another, so you may hear other people's conversations. Also, it's an establishment that has Hip Hop decor and plays Hip Hop music. We love it, however, please keep in mind, they play the explicit versions. The volume of the music could be to try and drown out the conversations happening all around. We don't let that be a reason not to go for some DELICIOUS Filipino Fusion food. The food is amazing! We plan to try their other two locations in Manhattan soon!
