About

Executive Chef/Co-Owner Wing Villarias named his restaurant, just a little more than a year old, after the traditional voyaging ships of the Filipinos, the earliest of which carbon dates to 320AD. In other words, The Philippines possess a vast history and a rich culture that Chef Villarias would like you to discover…starting with its startlingly delicious food. Filipino cuisine, if you don’t know much about it, is fusion incarnate, unlike any other Southeast Asian cuisine and reflecting a history shaped by colonial influences from Spain, the United States, Latin America, and Malaysia. Chef Villarias, who is an alum of Maketto, James Beard Award-winning chef Erik Bruner-Yang’s Michelin Bib Gourmand-winning marketplace/restaurant, grew up on the picture-perfect island of Palawan and has a natural affinity for seafood, but his menu also features dishes like fried chicken adobo, grilled eggplant, slow-roasted pork belly, and the Filipino spring rolls known as lumpia.
