Rough Guide Star
"Housed in a colonial-era hall with ceiling fans whirring overhead, Samy’s is an institution that’s been serving superb banana- leaf meals for decades."
Condé Nast Traveler "This is a boisterous, eat-with-your-hands kind of place, and people from all walks of life stream in throughout the day." Full review
Time Out "Samy’s is as low-maintenance as they come. It’s more of a mess hall than a restaurant with its high ceilings, shuttered windows and ceiling fans. " Full review

Cool down with some fresh lime juice.
The Infatuation "We think it’s partly because it’s one of the most laid-back places in the neighborhood, but mostly because no one has ever gone to Samy’s and left hungry. Utensils are optional." Full review

Order the signature fish head curry, some tangy calamansi juice, and whatever else catches your eye - just remember to bring some wet wipes.
