Food tasted: Pork Lechon Chicken skins Garlic Prawns Coconut kale All were good but… not as good as was hoping. Lechon - nice but I’ve had better in the Philippines Chicken skins - needs more salt to be a perfect beer snack Prawns - slightly overcooked but good bbq flavour. More garlic required Kale - tasty and a good side dish. I’m told the original with taro is much better
Outstanding service and food on multiple visits here. Authentic flavours and friendly, knowledgeable staff! Thank you, we will be back!
delicious food!! server was really nice too!
DEFINITELY COMING BACK All the spots were hit after going here, service was excellent with them clarifying which ones on the menu were still available. Ordered the pork belly lechon, which had the perfect crispy skin with the succulent meat of which you can clearly taste the stuffing used. Also couldn't decide and ordered another main which was the chicken mang inasal, perfectly grilled with the perfect vinegar dip pairing. The bar has been raised for Filipino food in the UK. Definitely going to come back to try the BBQ skewers and chicken skin which were sold out.
The food was Fire! Excellent selection of foods, they know the filipino taste well considering it’s on the other side of the world. We ordered the roast pork belly (lechon), 1/4 mang inasal and chicken popcorn. All were 10/10 dishes, I was a bit sad due to the chicken skin being out of stock when I was craving it so much. Definitely a place I would return to often and to all Pinoy’s who are showing their family around. If they’re anything like mine where they want the value for money and the taste with it. Definitely this is the place to eat at.
While Apoy shows promise, the value, portions and authenticity in some dishes need some reevaluation. The adobong manok lacked the homemade taste associated with authentic adobo. The lumpia offered a more traditional taste. For the price and amount served, it is expensive.
This is one of a number of food stalls in Market Halls. My particularly fussy Filipino partner was most impressed by her choice of Pork Belly and Rice dish. Up to her standard! Would choose Apoy again.
Went for a quick meal and really enjoyed the Chicken Inasal! The ube ice cream was also great; not too sweet and the ube chunks were a nice touch. Will go again to try the pork options next.
