Sisig, karaoke, and Filipino home cooking in Tooting Market
Ading Ysa's Kitchen is the sort of place that doesn't try too hard, and that's exactly why it works. Tucked into Broadway Market on Tooting High Street, this family-run Filipino restaurant serves up the kind of food you'd eat at a cousin's house party — generous, unpretentious, and packed with flavour. The sizzling sisig is the headline act, arriving on a hot plate with that signature crackle, but don't sleep on the rest of the menu. Reviewers rave about the banana fritters with ube ice cream for dessert, and the happy hour drinks keep the mood loose.
What sets Ading Ysa's apart from your average South London eatery is the atmosphere. Karaoke nights turn a quiet dinner into a full-on singalong, and the staff treat you like you've been coming for years even if it's your first visit. With over 2,000 TripAdvisor reviews and a 4.5 average rating, the word is clearly out — but it still feels like a neighbourhood secret. Prices are reasonable for the portion sizes, and the market setting gives it a buzzy, communal energy you won't find on the high street.
Come with a group, order too much rice, and let the evening take you wherever the karaoke queue goes. It's not fine dining and it doesn't pretend to be — it's Filipino comfort food done right, in a room that feels like a party waiting to happen.
