J's Kitchen

This is for the combined JV's boba and J's kitchen restaurant Visited for one weekend and ate here twice. This place met all my Filipino food needs. Yes I'm Filipino but sometimes I like to not cook the food myself or beg my parents for it. JV was so nice and accommodating too! My bougie ass asked for ube coffee. They didn't have it BUT JV came out and offered to make taro coffee and we walked through almond milk and ice choices and she made it wonderfully!!!! We came in for the breakfast buffet, and it was amazing. The next day we came back for sinigang and adobo off the menu. We saw the sisig fries and HAD TO try them - they're all that is in that picture and MUCH MUCH MORE. What an amazing little gem this place is! I loved all the festive Halloween decor and great service. I'm coming back here any time I visit sierra vista. Highly highly recommend!

I'm giving this five stars because the food is really really good. The ambience however could use some work. It's one very big room with very bright lights. The service was good. The young waitress who served us was very pleasant, but she spoken a very quiet voice. She was hard to hear. The prices were reasonable. And I would definitely go back again.

I first ate at J's kitchen when it was still at the mall. I had chicken adobo and liked it. Today was my first visit to its own restaurant and ordered chicken curry with a Taro drink recommended by my friendly server.Food and drink were very good. The curry sauce was, as advertised, both sweet and spicy. The chicken chunks were tender. The Taro drink kept giving me throat freeze, though, so finishing my meal took a bit.I walked in shortly after 11am. I was the first sit-down customer. I like the pastel purple interior and the space (I remember when this was the Beef Baron in the 1980s). My window seat was very comfortable. A radio station was playing in the background. Got to listen to a Tracy Chapman song. Crowds started coming in an hour later as I was leaving.

This is a hard review to write, because as much as I want to support local small businesses, I feel like my first time dining in was an absolute disaster. They have a very large dining space with purple and white decor everywhere. It was very clean. We came in for the dinner buffet which seems to change times and dates frequently - to me this isn't something I like about a restaurant. I prefer consistency with operating hours and knowing what type of food I'm going to have if I am going to take my family out to a restaurant (especially nowadays with everything so expensive). The inconsistency of restaurants here is a huge reason why they fail, we never know when they're open and what they're offering because their menu changes so often. I understand everyone has a family and a life, but you should hire trusted employees so that you stay consistent. We showed up at 5:30 Friday night for their buffet and they had two servers for the entire dining hall. They all looked incredibly flustered and it took us 45 minutes just to get water for our kids. The food was good, not exceptional, but fine. The options were quite limited for their dinner buffet but we were happy to see pancit and the pork belly. I was pretty disappointed they didn't have adobo chicken for their buffet, but the garlic shrimp was delicious. Our children are under 3 so they should have been free, but the server charged us for each one of them in her flustered state. She did fix the mistake but couldn't refund me so she had to pay me back in cash? It was all very strange. We often order takeout from them and it seems like we will continue doing that since they can't properly staff themselves for dinner. There was an employee just standing there in the middle of the bar who could have been helping the servers at least give guests their drinks, but she just stood there and smiled at everyone instead of working or helping out. Just seemed super unorganized. I wish them the best but they do need to learn how to operate a dining room and guest experiences.

Yum! This was my first time having Filipino food and I am impressed. The restaurant is clean and neat and nicely decorated with purple accents. The owner/cook was on site and was greeting everyone and checking on us without feeling pushy. Food portions are decent and the fruit drinks are fantastic. The pancit pala ok had more of a fishy taste than expected so we won't get that one again. We were treated a nice orange sorbet after our meal. I don't know if that was a Father's Day special or a regular treat.

The food tasted great chicken curry amazing, the service was amazing and attentive. The brunch Buffet..was NOT worth $20. I was expecting all-out Filipino food for a buffet but there were 5 metal chafing dishes of food 1 out of the 5 was Filipino food, lechon. The lumpia on a small white plate. The dessert was donut holes..it was a sad buffet. I won't be back for that but I will be back to order some food off of their menu though.

Great Boba Tea and noodles. You have lots of options like Taro, Melon, Coffee, and Matcha.

Went to J's on a date got three different appetizers which were all delicious and split the chicken adobo wow it reminded me of my early high school days with my friends from the Philippines

We've been there several times. Their food is always good. I tried the chicken curry for the first time, and it may be my new favorite dish.

Wow! So good!We had chicken stir fry with noodle, chicken dumplings, chairs tea with peach Boba and it was so delicious.
