MFK By Aysee

Trendy Filipino fare finds a hip and colorful Orange County standard-bearer at MFK By Aysee. The MFK in the name stands for Modern Filipino Kitchen (not a reference to M.F.K. Fisher, though we don't think she would be mad at this place) and they deliver the goods with everything from rice bowls topped with chicken adobo or lechon kawali to elaborate kamayan feasts for a crowd. Do not miss the Loaded MFK Tots, where succulent pork or chicken is layered over crispy, housemade tater tots, heaped with shredded cheese, lemon and sriracha cream, scallions and garlic frito crumble.
