Abacá is an airy, atelier-style restaurant with a cool outdoor terrace, whipping up Filipino-Californian cuisine with flair in Fisherman's Wharf. It's the bricks-and-mortar spin off of chef Francis Ang's pop-up Pinoy Heritage. The lively menu is split up into barbecue sticks, noodles and rice, and small to big plates, but its far more nuanced than just that. Flavourful dishes pull from family recipes and are glazed with modern and heritage technique to result in a vibrancy that's hard to come by. It's grounded by local produce. Smoked Bay scallops lead in the seafood pancit, heirloom tomatoes top homemade tinapay bread, chicken skin is glazed in an adobe before hitting the grill and guinea fowl comes slathered with peanut sauce. A truncated list of creative Southeast Asian libations bring it full circle – if you're on the terrace, cool off with the Baguio breeze slushy – a dreamy mix of pandan-infused vodka, coconut and strawberry.

    Amazing service, our server made great recommendations for both wine & food. Everything we had was amazing, i we in love with the squid in pasta and the sisig fried rice. I could have ordered the Dungeness crab soup by the gallon if they would let me. Definitely a must try!

    My family had Sunday brunch at Abacá. The Sarop Sampler had plenty of small bites to whet our appetites. We each chose our own plates: the chicken silog and Dungeness crab crepe were standouts. We finished off with some pastries of which the ube milk bun was our favorite. Service was warm and attentive. Next time we’ll make sure everyone in our group is hungry to try the prix fixe brunch menu!

    Delicious elevated, Filipino inspired or re-interpreted food. Beautifully presented. Price is on par with similar restaurants and well worth it. Service was wonderful, friendly and courteous. Could be more attentive. Restaurant is tastefully decorated. Beverages were equally delicious. Quiet enough to be able to have a conversation. Pastries/baked goods are top notch.

    Our dining experience was absolutely phenomenal! We had the chef’s tasting menu, and every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. It’s truly inspiring to see Filipino cuisine elevated to a fine dining experience while still honoring its rich, traditional flavors. The restaurant also excelled in accommodating dietary preferences, offering an impressive array of delicious vegan options. On top of that, the service was exceptional—attentive, knowledgeable, and passionate about every detail of the menu. This was an unforgettable meal, and we can’t wait to return!

    Food was ok, but no stand outs for the price point important to note there is a mandatory service charge 20% and health fee 5% charged on top of the bill

    Thank you, Abaca! We had an amazing experience! The staff was incredibly kind and even gave us a card for our anniversary, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food and drinks were fantastic - everything was just full of flavor. We’ll definitely be back!

    So the food here was honestly really good the only issue we experienced was. It seemed like if you weren’t getting tha paubaya they basically would ignore you. The other issue is it felt likw the server we had was trying to force us into getting the paubaya even though we kindly declined at least four times. We also feel like it was overpriced because they automatically added a 20% gratuity to the bill for basically not so great service.
