Barkada is open again in Soho, launching their 2.0 version with a menu featuring unique fusion flavours.
After announcing their closure on May 14, the Filipino restaurant returns to the area, located a few streets up the hill on Elgin Street.
Founder Jen Balisi is refreshing her first restaurant concept with a “Filipino heart, New York edge” take for its new smaller, yet cosier 20-seat space, including a section for Pinoy Pizzas, an ode to Jen’s tenure in the Big Apple. Think Filipino flavours meeting charred New York-style rippable pizzas.
Signatures on the menu include spicy funky coconut noodles (HKD148), kare-kare (HKD88), adobo birra quesotacos (HKD88), and siomai (HKD58).
“We were gutted when we had to close our doors, but the outpouring of love from our ‘barkada’ was incredible. This new space is everything we’ve wanted – intimate, edgy, and all about the food. It’s a return to our street food soul, with a bit of a New York swagger. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back,” Jen Balisi shared in a press release.
Barkada is currently offering 15% off all menu items and a bring-your-own-bottle policy till Jul. 15 during their soft opening.
