About Basuki

A lunch or dinner at Basuki in Abando runs on two things: food that earns return visits and a front-of-house that people write home about. Felipe draws more mentions than any dish on the menu — groups of twelve celebrating birthdays, couples on a quiet weeknight, solo diners — all leave naming him specifically. The kitchen holds its end: the morcilla gyozas are the most talked-about plate right now, and the tagliatelle alla carbonara, served from a whole wheel of Parmigiano, is the kind of theatre that also happens to taste exactly right. The steak tartare and the tarta de queso round out what regulars keep ordering. The room is described as welcoming and clean, the kind of space that works as easily for a family lunch as for a dinner with friends.

In the last 90 days, Basuki has drawn 68 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
