I stumbled upon So Sarap outside the area of One World Observatory and the smell drew us in. The pork and beef was so juicy and savory. I look forward to visiting them the next time I am in NYC or when they are back down in Tampa.

The food was absolutely fantastic! Kare Kare and Sinigang were just stellar! The sylvanas tasted like home. We always come here and always will continue to come! You can tell all of the people working there really put a lot of effort into their dishes and I can’t appreciate it enough!

Stumbled upon it at UrbanSpace at Union Square. Got the 3 for 10 skewers. From left to right: fish cakes, pork BBQ, and Sweet pork sausage. The sweet pork sausage was AMAZING. Staff were quick to get food out to everyone.
