Lasita Rotisserie & Natural Wine

Lasita Rotisserie & Natural Wine emerged from the transformation of acclaimed Lasa restaurant in Chinatown's Far East Plaza, reimagined by brothers Chad and Chase Valencia with chef Nico de Leon into a more casual Filipino rotisserie and natural wine concept. The intimate 32-seat dining room, inspired by Philippine sunsets, plus a breezy 16-seat patio offers first-come, first-served seating where guests enjoy the restaurant's signature chicken inasal rubbed with lemongrass and garlic, and pork belly lechon brined, stuffed, and marinated with lemongrass, onions, and ginger for perfect crispy skin. Featured by The Infatuation as excellent Filipino dining, Lasita specializes in rotisserie techniques distinct to Filipino cuisine using charcoal spits and unique brining methods with garlic, bay leaf, soy sauce, and patis. The menu includes standout starters like fish kinilaw, pancit canton, longganisa sausage, and wedge salad with coconut green goddess dressing, complemented by an extensive natural wine program. Chef de Leon also operates Tito Rudy's kiosk outside, serving traditional halo-halo shaved ice dessert Thursday-Sunday.
