This place was stop #2 on the lechon tasting circuit, and overall, the food isn't bad. Between the three of us, we ordered pancit palabok, kare kare, sisig, sinangag, and lechon. Their pancit is quite good, with large chunks of fried, crispy pork in it. Their sisig was also very crispy and flavorful. However, their kare kare left much to be desired (no complexity of flavor, just plain peanut butter) and their lechon was dry, with skin that wasn't very crunchy. Their lechon sauce is very good though, which makes up for it a bit, but objectively, their lechon isn't amazing.
If I lived nearby, I would probably come for the palabok and the sisig, and probably get a few bottles of the lechon sauce. But this isn't going to be my lechon place for graduation.
We found this by doing a search on Yelp and decided to give it a try. We wanted to sit outside on a beautiful spring day and this place fit the bill. Yes be forewarned that this is not your Famous Daves BBQ but still delicious. We split the chicken & rib meal, $9? it was very good but the chicken needed a bit more meat. The ribs were simply amazing.
Other reviewers are right, the place needs some TLC and a bit of maintenance and yard work but if you're in the area stop by.
Recently ordered catering from New BBQ Pit and I was very pleased. We ordered half of a whole roasted pig (Lechon), full tray of fried chicken, and a full tray of Lumpia Shanghai. The portions are large and the pricing is very reasonable.
Everyone at the party was impressed by the succulant roasted pig. The skin was nice and crispy and the meat was fairly tender. The gravy that it came with complemented it very well. If you know Mama Tomas sauce, it's like that but homemade and yummier.
A friend recommended the fried chicken so we were sure to order that as well. At room temp, it was decent, but once reheated the chicken had a nice crisp and the flavor was more pronounced.
A full tray of Lumpia Shanghai contains 100 pieces! That is a giant portion for just around $30. There could have been more meat in the roll, but the crowd still liked it. The sweet and sour dipping sauce was also very good and it was probably homemade bc it didn't taste like it was from a bottle.
Overall, had a good experience with New BBQ Pit and will be sure to stop by when I'm in Bergenfield.
solid lechon karrali (pan roasted lechon,) was fatty in the best kind of way, good coconut water here. inexpensive prices.
I would recommended it but quite simply I've had Filipino food probably 2 or 3 times.
BBQ ribs done right. This place really only needs one thing on the menu and it's their ribs. I haven't tried much else (actually nothing else) because there's no need. The ribs are all you need and you can get the special that comes with a choice of side. There is a list of sides, but I only get the garlic rice every time. It complements the ribs very well and I am Asian, so i need rice every meal lol.
I think the reason why the ribs are so good is because of their homemade sauce. It's a mix of spicy and sweet and awesome. And you can put some on the rice to make it even better. SO GOOD. Although, it was spicier back a few months, it's still good. I think they like to mix it up a bit and try new things with their sauce and that's fine by me. Maybe people said it was too spicy? But that's the best flavor, imo.
If you're lucky to be in the area, stop by this place and get some ribs!
I'm glad Im found this place. A co-worker told me about this place when we were talking about lechon and other unhealthy food. We came here after work and it wa very quiet. Seems like they do most of their business on catering. We ate outside because it was a nice day.
We got sigsig, ribs, lechon, collar green and garlic rice. The collar green was needed to make it semi healthy. It was a very good meal if your into pork.
There is parking in the back. Too bad Bergenfield is not a place is not on my radar.
