Hapag Bistro

Excellent food but do not try to make a reservation online on Resy or any other platforms - they do not actually take online reservations!!! I was coming in from out of town and had a reservation for 7:30 p.m. my train ended up coming in earlier so I changed the reservation to 6:30. When I arrived I told them the name of the reservation was under they were not able to find it. They asked me if I had made a reservation online and I said yes and they said oh you shouldn't have done that because we don't look at those. My companion and I ordered and the food came out promptly. It was all hot and fresh and well-made and delicious. We got the lumpia rolls and pork and fish sisig dishes. Everything was soooo good and the portions were huge. The dessert menu also looked really good but unfortuna

We came for lunch, which I know is a busy time and the place is pretty small. I went inside to check if there were any open tables, but there weren’t. I asked if they had a waitlist, but they don’t, so we had no idea how long the wait would be. We ended up standing outside in the cold because the server simply told us to wait, with no names taken and no estimate times. When I asked again, all I got was, “You have to wait,” which was frustrating. After about an hour of waiting with no update, I finally went back inside to check again. A table happened to be open, so I basically had to seat myself. I get that peak hours can get hectic, and we actually drove hours just to try their food, but a little organization would’ve made the experience so much better. Even just a time range or a simple

Such a gem! The food was very tasty. We ate almost everything we ordered. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. Service was friendly and genuine. It’s the kind of place I root for . Would definitely come back with friends for kamayan!.

Food was amazing and the service was too! We were able to sit immediately. The waitress gave us wonderful recommendations and interesting tidbits about Filipino culture. We were offered a free sample that tasted wonderful. It is a quaint restaurant and I would definitely return.

Hapag is a treasure! The lechon kawali was crispy and tasty. The sisig was sizzling and flavorful. The halo halo was one of the best I’ve tried in the USA! The restaurant has a quaint and artsy atmosphere. The service was great. We loved chatting with the owner Cecilia! We will definitely be back with our kids. I wish you had a location in Connecticut.
