Chefs Leicel Ros and Nancy Dominguez opened Anako at 8222 NE Second Avenue on October 22. Their first sit-down restaurant follows Sili at 1-800-Lucky and earlier pop-ups. The menu draws on Filipino cooking and other Southeast Asian influences, with dishes meant to share. A separate back bar adds space for drinks and smaller bites.
