RAPSA in Hackney

Tienen los platos más increíbles aquí. La comida es tan buena! Gracias Chef 😊 (siento no haber recibido su nombre) que hizo nuestra barriga y corazones tan feliz! Los miembros del personal son tan amables, siempre sonriendo con nosotros (Servicio de primer nivel!). Muchas gracias y nos vemos de nuevo cuando volvamos a Londres. 😊

RAPSA estuvo a la altura de las expectativas, ¡y mucho más! Todos los platos eran fenomenales. Teníamos la ensalada de coliflor Vientre de cerdo Plato de mariscos para 2 Un desierto (no puedo recordar el nombre) Margarita y una copa de processco de cortesía que venía con el plato. Sinceramente, no puedo decidir cuál de los platos de tapas era el mejor, mención especial a la panza de cerdo y las gambas! El servicio era fabuloso también! £ 100 incluyendo servicio! Sin duda volveré!

Estaba nervioso por el hecho de que estaba llevando a mi pareja (filipina) a este restaurante por recomendación de un amigo ya que íbamos a una 'Pelea de Boodle'. Su origen es de una fiesta comunal llamada "kinamut". He tenido un montón de comida de Filipinas antes, pero esto era tradicional con un toque moderno y bueno, me impresionó enormemente con los sabores. Teníamos la carne con pescado 'boodle' y puedo recomendarlo totalmente. Para dos te llena, da una selección de todo y los sabores son para morirse. ¡Pruébalo! Y no... en la foto, ella no me va a 'gomar el guante', el guante es porque usas los dedos!

Being Filipino British, I’m a little more critical of Filipino restaurants in London. Not just as a self proclaimed foodie but as someone who’s grown up on the cuisine, and with frequent visits to the motherland I have high expectations. Rapsa did not disappoint, the food was delicious and presented beautifully too. It says ‘fusion’ though it’s definately more Filipino and the flavours came through as authentically Filipino. Highly recommend that this is your first visit to taste Filipino food 🇵🇭

What a lovely evening. London has certainly look after us this weekend. It was a Sunday night and hoxton was quiet. We had a couple of drinks at the Howl At the Moon (also great) down the road and so by the time we arrived for our food we were ready. We arrived to a lovely welcome with special acknowledgement for my partners birthday which was really nice. We ordered a mix of things and every single dish was truly outstanding. All of them tasted unique and different to things we had eaten before. Often unusual combinations (haloumi and banana ketchup ? ) but all worked brilliantly well which made it an exciting food adventure. Even the deserts were exceptional. Asia sometimes isn’t considered the continent of puddings so we almost didn’t order but wow. The caramelised sponge with grated cheese was AMAZING. yes. Was a bit confusing to the brain but so so so good for the taste buds. All in all a brilliant and special night. Wish we lived closer.

We recently enjoyed a delightful Filipino culinary experience at Raspa. From start to finish, the service and food were exceptional. The Boodle Fight, a monthly treat at £32 per person, showcased a remarkable array of flavors. The Roasted Lechon Crispy Pork, Lumpia Spring Rolls, and Oxtail Kare Kare Croquettes all earned a well-deserved 10/10. The Pork Sisig was another highlight, perfectly complemented by the Red Horse beer and not to mention the surprise Adobo meat that's wasnt on the menu! While the Ukoy Fritters and Torta Talong Eggplant scored 6/10, the Steamed Rice fell slightly behind at 7/10. The Salmon Kilawin and Tilapia, wrapped in banana leaf, earned 4/10 and 6/10, respectively. The standout dishes were the Pork Lechon, Oxtail Kare Kare Croquettes, and Pork Sisig. To round off the meal, we indulged in Bibinga, a flawless 10/10, and Buko and Banana ice cream, though the banana overpowering, received a 4/10. The Leche Flan ice cream, while good, didn't quite match the traditional dessert, garnering a 5/10. Overall, Raspa delivered a top-notch Filipino culinary adventure, making the last Sunday of each month well worth the visit.

The food at Rapsa was just okay, but it didn't quite capture the authentic Filipino flavor I was hoping for. The service was a bit slow, which was a drawback. However, the staff was friendly and accommodating, which helped make the experience better.

what a find. everything was a discovery of flavours and as we shared we could try 8 different dishes ! oysters were very surprising as well as the baby octopus or the pork belly or the prawns and pineapple…great evening out with friends and service was both friendly, helpful and extremely professional. will go back.

Rapsa is one of the best brunches in London and definitely if you want to go boozy bottomless. Weekend only…. The food is heavenly and lots to choose from euro/Asian influence and delicious. There are lots of meat/veggie/vegan options. The portions are generous and you can choose from various spritzes and Prosecco (you don’t have to stick to one!). The drinks overflow and the staff are great. All for £38! And in nice weather you can sit outside. Can’t rate this place enough…. Must come back for their lunch and dinners as they look great too. Also happy hour 5-8pm weekdays

Really nice place, staff is helpful and extremely kind. The Filipino/Vietnamese cuisine is truly well executed. At the end of our lunch, the chef treated us to a tasting of some delicious spring rolls. We greatly appreciated the kind gesture. Highly recommended.

Unreal food , lovely staff and great drinks. Went with a friend and both left saying it was one of the nicest meals we’ve ever had. Had 5 tapas 2 cocktails and added a £20 tip and only came to around £55 each. The octopus, oxtail and chicken were the standouts, but to be honest it seems as though everything there is super tasty. Will be coming back, thank you!

If you've never had Pilipino food, go here first - with a group. Sorry if like tapas, Pinoy style. Authentic essence of the flavors in a familiar format.

We thought we booked a Vietnamese restaurant with Asian dishes as well to find out it was primarily a Philippino restaurant. Was not disappointed at all the food was delicious with generous portions and a very interesting menu. Would really recommend this venue as it the food was truly good. Can’t wait to return.

In this restaurant I discovered new tastes that I didn't know. The combination of spices and herbs enchanted all my senses. I also enjoyed the drinks which were very refreshing and their taste draws you into paradise everything was delicious. I will definitely be back and will recommend it to my friends

RAPSA is such a cool, trendy, fun, Filipino fusion restaurant! the Pork Belly Poke bowl was unreal. The staff were so accommodating and helpful! Funny, friendly, and nothing was too much for them. The food was wonderful! Exquisite flavours, and great portions! I’ll be back for a boodle fight and I’ll definitely bring some friends along! Special mention to Lucas and Hansel you guys are amazing! And my very very warm compliments to the chefs! - Polina :)

Came here today just to find out it is not open from 15:00-17:00. Wasted our time and effort! Please fix your advertisement!

Great food with unique flavours and different textures. Drinks were also good. We also enjoyed the cool Shoreditch/Hoxton style ambience with little cozy sofa seats. Friendly staff. Good place for casual lunch & drinks with friends or casual drinks & nibbles in dinner time would be lovely as well. We visited early lunch time on Tuesday, so it was not busy or crowded at all, but on weekend might be much busier I assume.

[8:15 pm, 26/05/2022] James: THE GOOD Kinilaw was spot on Octopus adobo great Kare Kare was good. THE BAD Booked for 14 people and got there early. We (4 of us) sat at a table outside waiting for others to arrive and ordered drinks, which took over 30 minutes to arrive. I went to put my elbow on the table and it collapsed? We held it up until the waiter came back. We told him about the table and this is what he said. “What? How can that be it’s a brand new table we just bought it yesterday” which made us all feel that he was blaming us. Like we jumped on it or something. No apology no nothing he just took the table away so we moved to another table. The guy made us feel like it was such a burden to serve us and that he was doing us a favour. Myself and my family are all Pinoys (Filipinos) and know that Filipinos are the most friendly and hospitable people you can meet but the service we got at this restaurant was far from it. The food should be good but the service has to match it. The only thing Filipino about Rapsa is the food. Oh and they charge you 12.5 % service fee for the pleasure of treating you like s%*te. The guy serving us started moaning that he was alone. Maybe I should have charged him for therapy and sitting there listening to his problems. What great service…..NOT. The guy wears a red cap and has a beard, and apparently his name is Lukas according to their website. I truly hope you don’t have the pleasure of being served by him. . THE UGLY Lechon…This is NOT lechon . Don’t bother. Cold and hard crackling and meat tasted like it was cooked the day before ,not tasty at all..My wife makes 10x better lechon than this one. Longanisa rice…Didn’t taste like longanisa at all and was way over priced for what it was. Don’t bother with this. Cold as well. The person couldn’t take orders at all. She kept bringing items we didn’t order. I don’t understand this as she was writing our orders down? We also asked for some spoons to eat with the rice as this is what all Pinoys do and the response was……..ya ya ya it’s coming! “ Really? They don’t even recommend that you order rice as all Filipino food should be eaten with rice. Food prices are fair but £4.50 for a cup of rice is taking the piss. I was very happy that someone was bringing Filipino food to London but disappointed that they are giving the impression that Filipino hospitality is like this. Rapsa (Sarap) meaning yummy or tasty. Not so Rapsa I’m afraid. Never again.

I've had very good lunches here before, but this was my first evening visit, and it was terrific! The 3 of us had a feast, with fritters, pork belly, tiger prawns, broccoli and more, and the 850 Douro house red went down very easily. Lovely staff, great atmosphere.

Delicious food and lovely ambience. The portions were tiny but the staff informed us of this when ordering

Lovely fresh, crisp food - my daughter tried to take me to a different restaurant, but based on previous experience, I insisted on Rapsa. Lovely staff and just generally great.

Being a Filipino, i say that food were great. We ordered kare kare, lechon, sisig, and tortang talong. I loved the talong. The serving was just enough for the 3 of us.

The staff were very friendly and attentive, the food was delicious and full of flavour. Such a relaxing vibe and lots of drinks to choose from.. would 100% recommend

Flavourful food, wide drink selection (seems like there is something for everyone, even mocktails and alcoholic bottled beers) and wonderful servers. Select cocktail happy hour on weekdays from 4-7PM. And select cocktail happy hour all day Sunday! You should give it a try if you...

After trying RAPSA at their Selfridges concession, we were really excited to have found an authentic Filipino restaurant and booked my brother in law's engagement dinner at RAPSA especially for the Boodle Fight menu (last Sunday of the month). The whole evening was a disappointment...

Was looking for somewhere near Old Street for a nice veggi-friendly lunch and this one (despcribed as indonesian-fusion) looked interesting. It didn't disappoint on a Friday lunchtime. Surprisingly it was pretty empty, though a couple of tables (including one of 6 people) did arrive during...

Been coming here for Around 2 years and wow. I wish I was getting better with age like this place. Friendly team with good service and the food is always ridiculously delicious.

WOW! We travelled down from Scotland and spent hours looking for a good bottomless brunch- Rapsa 100 won and we made 150% the right choice! The staff- incredible The food- outstanding The atmosphere- so so cool The drink- couldnt of asked for more We wouldnt...

A lovely dinner with incredibly delicious food and cocktails. Excellent serving and fast service. I highly recommend you to try the dessert “Don Papa Blondie”. 10 out of 10. I’m definitely come back again!

Food was absolutely amazing, the value for money was incredible and our glasses where never empty. The staff where so lovely and friendly would go back in a heart beat one of the best bottomless brunches I've been too

Food was lovely and all the waitresses were very intentiVe, polite and friendly, they provided excellent service, I was very impressed! Thank you

Good food, but the service wasn’t good. Made a booking for 5 and they arranged a table for 4. Had to wait half an hour to get a single chair, while they set up a table for another guest, we were ignored until we had...

I’m not one to complain, but I have to say the experience we had today at your venue wasn’t very nice. We made a booking for 5 people and was given a table for 4. The staff just watched me stand like an idiot and...

Came for a bottomless brunch this weekend and would 1000% come back. The portions are huge and delicious - the onion rosti on the veggie breakfast is amazing. The prosecco never stopped flowing (you’re left with the bottle so no waiting for top ups), and...

I was staying at the west end of London and wanted to introduce my friend to Filipino food so travelled to Hoxton and what a great decision! She loved it! We had kinilaw and soft shell crabs and also lechon belly and aubergine salad -...

We dined at Rapsa yesterday after hearing good things about the boodle fight. With family visiting from abroad we wanted to take them somewhere that had been recommended to us. We had 3 tables for 17 diners total, we did request to be seated as...

Good food, good vibes, good price! Came here with my family and fiancé and we were all very impressed!!! Growing up in a Filipino household, we always found it hard to find a Filipino restaurant in the UK let alone one with authentic flavours. The...

Stunning brunch ! Stunning food! Priscilla brought all the vibes. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!would recommend. Love

Food was INCREDIBLE!! Service was great, they didn’t scrimp on the alcohol and Pricilla was the best server! Smile lights up the room, just good vibes all round! Highly recommend.

Priscilla was the best waitress ! We had such a good time at bottomless brunch! The food was incredible and the drinks were always topped up! Thank you so much! Xxx

Priscilla was amazing. Raspa has always been my favourite restaurant and today was no exception. Pricilla was upbeat, friendly and lovely. What a wonderful employee.

Visited last week for the first time and unfortunately their booking system had an issue and they found themselves overbooked. They handled it wonderfully though! The owner and his team set up some additional curbside tables and chairs and it wasn't long before we had...

I had a casual dinner here with my girlfriend and a friend last Thursday. Food is exceptional fillipino/fusion set in a trendy venue just off the beaten shoreditch track. Highlight of the night was our extremely friendly server Joyce. Joyce - if you're reading this,...

We had the most delicious take out meal from 100 Hoxton. In challenging times they really made an extra effort and everything was so tasty and fresh. If you are looking for amazing take out in the area I can’t recommend this place enough.

My daughter took us here, great find good service great food. Comfortable booth type seating. Excellent brunch. Concrete floor and ceiling painted brick walls central bar exposed pipework. Clean toilets

Had an absolutely unforgettable experience here on Saturday for my birthday boozy brunch. The staff were really attentive and not as strict as other places with the 100 minute only of bottomless prosecco! I had the halloumi finger sandwich which was divine - the banana...

The atmosphere was nice and all, the food however really tastes like bland filipino food. You can taste the chef's french influence in their filipino food. I was left disappointed. Their drinks are good though.

Favourite place for brunch in Shoreditch! The food is a very interesting fusion of Philippine and European cuisine. Our favourite - cured salmon with bibingka and cream. Simply an explosion of flavour! The staff are very attentive and go out of their way to make...

Mysig lokal i trendiga Shoreditch, trevlig personal. Men det är för maten och drinkarna man kommer hit! Asiatiska tapas som...

I can’t recommend this restaurant enough!!! Tapas style dining with a wide array of delicious dishes. I went with a party of seven and each person had 3 dishes each and every single person said every dish was amazing. There are lots of vegetarian and...

We just can't get enough of food from Rapsa. Since we discovered the place over a year ago we keep going back and so far not a single dish has ever disappointment us. Menu is updated regularly so there's always something new to try. It's...

We were very much looking forward to trying Rapsa's modern take on Asian Fusion, and the experience and food most certainly did not disappoint! We shared around 10 plates, starting with the spicy Ukoy fritters, which came packed with a punch and a delicious peanut...

We had a wonderful evening and could not have asked for more delicious and beautifully presented food. Each dish had unique flavours and we look forward to future visits and to exploring the menu further. We can highly recommend our choices from this visit. Helped...

So i sat here with my friends for a beer, and we really needed toilet 😂 anyway, service is super nice, I liked tap water with mint and lemon inside. Interior is very comfy and beautiful, and toilets are just amazing. Clean and smells so...

This is a genuine hidden gem in Shoreditch area. The food was excellent (georgie the chef works magic in the kitchen), drinks likewise and service from lukas and the team was great. The highlights were slow cooked belly, papaya salad and sea bass dishes.

New to London, I need a good class of wine to settle in and Rapsta was just around the corner - a hidden gem in a peaceful, diverse neighborhood. The wait staff was very welcoming and accommodating - recognizing I was new to the area,...

I was very excited to go here, since we were staying in an airbnb literally on the other side of the road and I had bookmarked this place based on the reviews. It is a very cool place and it was packed during lunchtime but...

Saw a couple mixed reviews on here but still ended up booking it as the menu looked great. Our waiter was so lovely and friendly, she explained our food was going to come out a little later than expected as they had a party next...

Overall average experience. Good food and friendly staff. Atmosphere was ok but not what i expected. Slight mix up with our order.

My second visit ... and it just got better! This is one of London’s hidden treats. Fantastic food and lovely people an all. GO!

What a great restaurant. Away from the chaos of Shoreditch, this small restaurants packs a punch that you will find hard to beat. The location, the staff, the service, the quality of food, the amazing flavours, the perfect quantities, the great cocktails, the people watching...

The restaurant isn’t located in the most busy part of London, but we had an amazing experience. Good cocktails and great food with very creative Asian dishes. I would recommend it if you love food. Very good price/quality. Really a hidden gem!

I´ve been the (old) 100 Hoxton a couple of time and loved it. Service and food was exceptional. Not sure if the name change to Rapsa comes with an owner change as well. Today´s experience wasn´t great at all. The waiter didn´t pay any attention...

First of all my waitress with the bright blonde hair was amazing.. I think her name was Georgie? And Jess aswell at the bar was really great! Really good Service! Secondly the food was amazing! I love the tofu! Really reccommend! 12/10!

The quality of food has improved over the years dramatically, and the cuisine 100 Hoxton offers now under the new kitchen magicians is just simply next level. The whole menu has (rightfully) been turned upside down, and the effect of this has been nothing short...

I went to this restaurant with my husband and two friends. The food is amazing & the cocktails before 8pm are two for £12. I can highly recommend this place!

We live locally and visit about once a week. Its always a warm welcome from the staff - especially our favourite Georgie! The menu is varied and caters well for vegans too. Cocktails are delicious (try the slushies!) and its always a healthy, good value...

I’m Filipina-Australia/British and I have been here three times, twice for dinner, once for dessert. If you are from the Philippines, you will recognise the food as being Modern-Pilipino. There is a version of ‘Dinuguan', which is animal-friendly. It is delicious, but it is not...

Georgie and friends at this magnificent bar produce a warm and enigmatic atmosphere which serves the most amazing cocktails I’ve ever tasted. Check out the new espresso martini slush - can’t be beaten.

Me and my boyfriend came here for our anniversary meal and it was lovely. We had an amazing time. 'Georgie' served us and she provided us with great customer service. She was friendly and chatty and really helpful when it came to recommendations. She told...

modern, laten we zeggen 'hip' ingericht restaurant met vriendelijke bediening. Het gaat hier zoal in alle hippe zaken over food-sharing....

I had stumbled on Rapsa after Googling 'Buko ice-cream' and then found that their whole menu sounded delish, so I dragged my friends there. We were impressed with every dish. I have various dietary requirements and honestly, it's so good to eat somewhere and know...

Luckily, we weren’t in a rush but the waitress “..forgot to put the order through..”, so we had to wait quite a while for our drinks and food. To be fair, they were all worth the wait. My daughters had the haloumi sandwich, my wife...

had a great time here: really enjoyed the food, very different from other places and delicious. friendly staff as well.

First visit tonight - absolutely blown away by how incredible the food was! We had 6 dishes between 2 of us, 1 was good (the mackerel) the other 5 (pumpkin curry, soft shell crab, seabream, fried rice, and oxtail croquettes) were AMAZING! Cocktails were great,...

Came here with a bunch of friendly colleagues and had a party menu with cocktails. The menu was very varied and interesting, with lots of vegetarian options and tempting contrasts. My aperol cocktail was fantastic. The real star, though, was a dessert platter with fresh...

I am Filipino and for me the food flavors were not Filipino. However, I thought they were delicious anyway, and definitely worth trying. That's why I think the restaurant should be called Filipino-inspired rather than Filipino. The service is also amazing. Five stars.

This was my second visit to Rapsa in two weeks, as I had a friend in town from LA who doesn’t eat meat - so thought this place would be perfect with its mix of fish, vegan, vegetarian and only a small meat selection on...

Been eating lunch and dinner here many times. They're menu is innovative, very good prices and quality and taste of food is hard to beat. Great vibes and cocktails in the evening. Definitely recommend for lunch, brunch and dinner.

Små portioner tapasagtige fik vi oplyst af tjeneren - vi valgte i alt 5 forskellige retter plus ris. Ingen af...

I love Shoreditch and it's welcoming atmosphere and fantastic tasting multicultural food. Unfortunately 100Hoxton provides none of this. Staff were surly and blinkered at best, the food was tasteless, uninteresting and uncoordinated. We had to physically get up and find a staff member to get...

Came here for an impromptu business lunch, and was amazed at the high standard of service we received, the food and drink is top notch, would recommend to all my friends.

I’ve never tried Philippino food before and I will be trying again. Food cooked and served quickly. Lovely staff who make you feel very welcome. Would recommend

Came back after a while and ordered favourite dishes; flavours and textures changed, what used to be fine cooking turned ordinary, new faces in the kitchen? Unjustifiably expensive dinner, cocktails nothing special, should be £8, not £10.

Second time have eaten at this venue. We will be back! Mycousins wife is from the fillipines and introduced us to this venue. Great food and beautiful cocktails. Traditional food - mains and great deserts. The venue is great with excelent service One point is...

Super mix of food, cocktails were reasonable and experimental in a good way, cheery staff and really chill atmosphere

From the moment we arrived and had a cocktail (happy hour until 8!), until we left having eaten some incredibly tasty food the whole experience was a delight. Staff were attentive, atmosphere laid back, and the food, wow! Really on a different level. There are...

This will be our 5th time here. We come every year for our anniversary and special occassions. Glad to see the transition from 100 hoxton to Rapsa hasn't affected the great flavours and relaxed setting that we love. Still our fav place to dine! My...

The kinilaw ceviche has so much more punch than regular kind. Crab was fantastic and happy hour cocktails really hit the spot. Staff were friendly

Had a voucher for 2 dishes and a cocktail each at 50% off so pretty good deal but none of the dishes were particularly notable. Noticed the restaurant is rebranding anyway so no doubt the menu has changed. Had lamb shank, soft shell crab and...

Regularly visit for a great lunch with colleagues. Asian fusion menu - £8 lunch options - delicious food and big portions (also great cocktails/wine/beers)

Incredible brunch! Had the halloumi finger sandwich and it was amazing! Fabulous flavours, brilliant portion and simply incredible. 6 clean plates. Coffee, juices and service also marvellous. A must go to!!

Went with friends today, hadn’t booked so could only stay an hour. We had nice wine and some nibbles. The caramelised nuts were unfortunately stale but the fritters and king prawns were amazing. Staff were friendly apart from one who was a bit unfriendly to...

A little out of the way, but a great place with great food and service, lots of interesting items on the menu and definitely worth the trek (actually not too bad)

I booked 100 Hoxton for my 50th Birthday meal with 20 family and friends and the food was amazing, every course was fantastic. Very busy restaurant in the Evening. I also took my young daughters here for lunch prior to the meal and again, had...

This place is a must if you are dining out in local area. Just loved the tapas, we sampled most of the menu between us. Would love to go back sometime.

I stumbled upon this place as a result of a Time Out offer popping into my Inbox at the same time that I was arranging to go for dinner with a couple of friends. Wow, wasn’t that my lucky day! Just a few mins walk...

In this trendy restaurant just off Kingsland Road, the Filipino Exec Chef, Francis Puyat, builds a bridge between the Mediterranean and Asian cuisines, creating bold and original food pairing and making wide use of all spices. The result is a menu which encompasses all types...

Great flavours and sumptous food, very fresh and tasty, we tasted several of the small plates and the crab pasta was fantastic and many dishes were not far behind, excellent service and good atmosphere and company.
