Great tasting authentic Filipino food. We got the Taho, Sisig, and pork Tocino. All tasted amazing! Service was great, food was made fresh.
So, so good! My first visit here with friends. The meatloaf was amazing and the lumpia was perfect. I enjoyed the food immensely and hope to go back soon. The garlic rice was so good that I couldn’t stop eating it. The staff were friendly and helpful. Nice spot near the Publix area. When asked if you want to add on lumpia, yes should always be the answer.
Friendly and genuine staff greet you when entering. After we finished they asked how everything was and if we liked it. When you dine here it is clear Filipino ex-pats enjoy it here too. Filipinos filtered in throughout our time dining chatting up the staff. Seating is available for about 20 but most business is takeaway. Lots of options for proteins in many dishes. A nice starter option is the classic lumpia (two options available), 12 portions where good for three to start. Crispy, not greasy, and good flavor. They are about the size of a large, pinky finger. For the main course we tried three different silog dishes (National dish, listed under their breakfast all day items), protein choice [adobe style either chicken or pork, corn beef (shredded) and beef pieces], rice, pickled vegetable, topped with a fried egg with liquid yolk to mix into your rice or cover in your bites of your dish. Meals were served in plastic containers for each individual, so you are ready to go if you don't finish it in the restaurant or as a to go. You can order ahead, but we found the wait was not long for a place where you counter order for dinner. Try it, you'll like it, as they say.
The staff is always so helpful with creating the perfect meal to accompany my needs & food preference. Freshly made & abundance of food. Enough for multiple meals. Always friendly & kind!
They're finally open at their new location in Kernan! Much closer to me this time. My hubby loves their taho-not too sweet. I haven't tried their silogs yet. Their mamon is not as soft as red ribbon but tastes good. We bought their atchara and it was good too! ...
I knew this was going to be a phenomenal meal the second I walked in. It has all the vibes of an authentic hole-in-the-wall. Food was worth every penny we paid for it. Lumpia and ukoy were hot, fresh, and crisp, served with delectable sauces. Pancit was better than how my ex-boyfriend's filipino mom could ever make it. Skip on the food trucks and visit this place instead!
This was my first time visiting Kusina and they did not fail. The staff was friendly. The service was good. I ordered beef lumpia, beef empanada and tapsilog. Everything was delicious! I will definitely go back!
I can't believe I haven't t made a review for Kusina! We have been here several times and it's always a treat! Our favorites are their breakfast silogs, but I believe they serve them all day. It's a complete meal with garlic rice, egg and protein! Whether it will be Pork Tocino, Beef Tapa, or Milk Fish, always dip them in vinegar, so delicious! And let's not forget their cakes and pastries! I love their sans rival and Food for the Gods! Let's not forget the pandesal and Ensaymada! All yummy! They also sell cooked meals such as Sinigang, Pork Menudo, Lechon Paksiw, and so much more! You can also order custom made cake! Service was fast even though it's made to order, just be patient when they have a lot of customers. This place is located in an office building so they are only open on weekdays. Plenty of parking!
