Piggyback By Pig Khao - Broad Channel

The food is good and flavorful but the vibes feel off; massive space but it felt very “midtown”. A good option for Asian in the area but not a destination.

The wings are amazing. The drinks on the happy hour menu were really good. Mel the bartender was friendly and had no problem having good conversation. Would absolutely go back.

We found this place after work on a weekday and managed to walk right in and grab a table. Nice laid back vibe. Took us awhile to order, but the food was fantastic. The mushroom Dan Dan was the right amount of spice and the noodles were perfectly Al dente. The lamb dish was also pretty fire, although it had very little meat on it for $42 and looked like it was the spine/vertebrae of the animal which I’d never seen or had before. Our drinks were pretty abismal, which stunk considering they sounded so tasty. One was the signature chartreuse and gin cocktail and the other the lemonade. We had also ordered Brussels sprouts but those never came. Although the food was excellent overall, the service was terrible. We had a younger brunette waitress who tended our table at the front of the restaurant and she took forever to take our order, rarely checked up on us, and seemed to be so annoyed to even have to take our order. She was short and seemed like she was barely paying attention when we were asking about the menu and ordering. I’d give it another shot for some of the other interesting sounding dishes, and to hopefully get a different bartender and waitress.

This place is a lovely combination of sophisticated and laidback atmospheres. The staff is friendly and attentive. We ordered crisp cocktails to complement the flavors of the food. Their fried rice was perfect, the cucumbers were nicely flavored, the highlight was the complimentary fresh baked roll with sambal sauce butter.

Food was so good and different from any other meal. We loved the S&P shrimp and Edamame. The lamb was over the top. So rich and tender and flavorful! Great service as well!
