Dark color under means it is old batch or mis handled causing the meat to go bad. I. Our case, it had a bad after taste.

This is my first time ordering from this place. They have lunch specials. It's a pretty good-sized serving and very tasty! The only problem is: Who eats a lechon kawali without any dipping sauce and lemon? The restaurant forgot to add this, but they did send a soup broth. It would have been a 5Star rating if they remembered Filipinos love their sauces.

$11 long silog plate is a pretty good deal with garlic rice and egg. Solid 7/10 . It is a bit oily but if you know Filipino food typically is especially from these types of restaurants. The lugaw was great, I'd come back to order more.

I haven't eaten Filipino food in so long and eating here reminded me of my Lola's (Grandma) COOKING. It was so good I ordered more for home! The tocilog, the tapsilog and the sinigang were bits of flavor. Shout out to Ate Cecilia for the hospitality. Definitely going back here as often as I can!

I can only review their lumpia, but the price and amount you get cannot be beat! We definitely plan on getting lumpia catered for any events. We got 50 for a small gathering and it was crispy and tasty. The sauce pairs perfectly with it as well!

I was sad because it was my wife's first time ever tasting Filipino food and I announced that cheerfully and loudly to the lady at the front counter, to which she replied with an emotionless face "so what does she want?" I was really hoping to show my wife some Filipina hospitality and charm, but there was none to be found. Explaining each of the dishes, letting her taste some, laughing and encouraging her in her first experience... would've been stellar. It's not what we got.The food itself was acceptable. The pancit was quite bland, the kaldereta was okay, the garlic rice was good, and guys -- we have to talk about the chicken adobo. It was LITTERED WITH BONE SHARDS. We're talking easily a dozen tiny pieces of deadly bone, some like shark's teeth, some as long and thin as needles, in almost every bite. It was completely unacceptable. Whoever's chopping their chicken needs to be more careful by far! Any one of these could easily have pierced my gum or tongue, or heaven forbid I'd swallowed one and lacerated my intestines! (EDIT TO ADD: owner replied that bone shards are a natural part of the dish. False; I have eaten adobo numerous times, bone-in, and there's no requirement that the food be sprinkled with dangerous bone shards; I can't imagine any filipino chef suggesting this is the optimal way to eat the dish!).All-in-all it was a "meh" experience, and I feel like I have to rush to find another, better Filipino restaurant to take my wife to soon so she doesn't think this is what it's supposed to be like. Kusina Ni Kuya had one chance to win over a new convert -- and they're close to our house, so we could've returned aften! -- and they lost us. It's too bad.

Great breakfast and friendly service! I got the tapsilog and the beef was so tender paid with a sunny side up egg! We also got sinigang on the side and it was perfect! Had great amount of sour and perfect for the cold mornings! The place was very inviting and I loved the 80s music playing this place made my morning! Would come back again

Uggghh! I really wanted to like this place. Super clean. Fast and friendly service. Hot food. Weird hours. Rancid cooking oil.I know...this last two comments are epic fails. I'll come back to those two issues!Filipino food is generally tough to find at a five start level. The idea behind two item combos generally means they have the food in warming tables. Most Filipino restaurants serve the food at a barely warm temperature in an effort to not dry out their foods. This place serves their items at a much warmer than usual temperature. A very welcome feature. I ordered the two item combo. It is $16.99. I chose the chicken and pork adobo and the beef a frittata. She served one item in the Styrofoam container with the rice and dished the other item in a small bowl to make sure I got enough sauce and enough product. Because it was hot, and Ample, I would give them more stars than most Filipino restaurants.I ordered the lechón kawali which is sold by the pound. Kind of a bummer because I really only needed a quarter of a pound but it's my favorite item and I figured I could eat it as leftovers. The cashier told me she would bring it out as they were preparing it fresh. I started to eat my other items and found them quite tasty, and a very nice serving size. Once the lechón arrived, i could hardly wait...it was hot and fresh! But the flavor was off. I tried another piece...really off tasting! I couldn't tell if the meat was spoiled or if it was cooked in rancid oil. Super super disappointing. The portion was very nice but man I couldn't believe it was spoiled. Could it be possible that it was cooked in rancid oil? That is such a fail in the cooking universe. I didn't complain to the restaurant because they were closing upon my arrival. Big waste of money...gave me an awful stomach ache...and even worse it gave this Filipino restaurant a big NO GOOD in my book. Super sad because they had so much going for them. Ooh and what dinner restaurant closes at 5pm. Weird! Sadly friends...I can't recommend this place.And go

Was in the mood for some Filipino breakfast so I got my excuse to try this place. I ended up ordering their tocilog plate and their crispy dilis as a snack for the day. Their garlic fried rice that came with my tocilog plate was flavorful. Their tocino tasted freshly made and it was great! Their dilis also tastes like it was fried just recently so that's a plus! It's always a pet peeve of mine when places fry a bunch of dilis at once and serve it over long periods of time. Doesn't feel as crunchy when it's just sitting. I definitely feel like this portion of the restaurant is better than the Cajun ni Kuya that's right next to it.

Got the tapsilog and pork sisig. It was soooo good. The tapsilog was a good portion for the price. It was very filling. The pork was moist and the crispy pork skin made the dish craveable. I can't wait to have it again! They were also very friendly and helpful. Next time I come in I will try more dishes.

Stopped by for lunch. Garlic fried rice, menudo, and the caldreta were fantastic. Tasted as good as mom made. Two item combo meal is a bit pricey at $17. I was happy to see no additional service fees, credit card charges or mandatory tips charges that many businesses are pushing and some in sneaky ways hoping you'd overlook it. This place did none of that!Thank you Kusina Ni Kaya for a very good meal, and a good experience. Minus one star for price.
