Tabachoy is a Tagalog nickname given to a friend or family member; it means chubby or fatty. We know it sounds mean, but Filipinos give each other inappropriately appropriate nicknames all the time. Your baby brother’s got some neck rolls? Tabachoy. Auntie’s six months pregnant? Tabachoy. Or your dad’s got a six pack, but just finished his third piece of bibingka? Tabachoy!

We cook the food that got us made fun of in elementary school, when we opened our country crock “Tupperware” - the food that reminds us of home. We don't strive to make a better adobo than your mothers, but we do want to share ours with you.

Great food, friendly service, but WAY too loud. Basically had to scream to hear someone across a rather small table.

Tasting menu was a great experience! Loved getting to try a lot of things. Wish they would’ve subbed one of the other dishes for the vegan one but it was still a good time

Great food, great atmosphere, great service. I felt like i was eating dinner at my friend’s house (in a good way). I was told the menu changes every few weeks so I definitely will be back for the new menus! The pork adobo, garlic rice, and ube sundae stole the show!

My husband and I visited last night for my 30th birthday and it was perfect! A very energetic, intimate setting. The space is a few tables and the counter by the kitchen. We ate at the counter. We were greeted right away and sat for our reservation (pretty sure you need one). Our server was super friendly and casual. It’s easy to feel surrounded by friends in a room full of strangers here. Also, the music was choice. Great vibes! We ordered the chefs tasting menu as we’ve never had Filipino food before and it did not disappoint. They brought out the app sampler (delicious), south Philly Laing (WOW), pancit tabachoy (YUM), pork adobo (fell apart so nicely and with so much flavor), and bico express (fish dish that was perfectly spicy and sweet, finished it right away!). Lastly, for my bday they surprised us with an ube icecream cone and pandan cheesecake. I’m surprised we could fit anything else in, but luckily we did because it was the perfect ending! I can’t wait to tell people about this and take some friends back soon.

I cannot recommend Tabachoy enough. The chef's tasting menu was perfect with plenty of food, lots of choices, and very affordable. All of the servers were also friendly and helpful.

Good food in a quaint location. The noodle dishes were excellent and the Yam Ice Cream was amazing. Love the value of the chef’s tasting menu.
