Kuya J restaurant a Filipino cuisine but the way they cooked those foods so flavorful and unique. Kuya J kare kare version was so awesome the ingredients were typical kare kare but on how it was tasted mas masarap at malinamnam. One of the famous desserts here their kuya j ube halo halo their version very unique and not a typical halo halo. The Ice cream was mixed on the ice so it was resulted to more creamier ube , a must try when you visit any kuya j restaurant , there was a time sold out to. Ordered too kuya j roasted chicken and vegetables.

Food was ok. We ordered crispy pata, sizzling gambas, bagnet kare kare, dynamite, sinigang na bangus, grilled tuna, sisig, pancit canton and lechon kawali -- food was filling, but not that satisfying. Eat to be happy and full, not just full.

Good ambiance, clean and spacious. We arrive at the restaurant at 11.30am, we were not the first customers to arrive though, and there's no much people as well. We were accommodated accordingly. However, service staff were not that attentive enough for an opening shift (note that there were not much customers: 3 tables including us, not more than 10 pax) Service water was not given automatically. My father-in-law has to ask for it before it was given. The food was great! We had their Calamares, Crispy Pata, Chapsuey, garlic rice, pineapple shake and mango shake. I love their calamari with garlic mayo and their atchara. I even asked for another scoop of their atchara. Not really a fan of their magazine-like-menu though. So much texts going on, people come there to check at the menu,order food, and eat, not to read the articles or whatever. Overall experience was good. I will definitely try other items next time.
Waited for my parents to finish watching Kong: Skull Island. Surprisingly, they enjoyed every minute of it, in part because their film viewings of late are free (senior priviledges). They rather wait for the senior days than watching over the crowded weekends. They insisted on trying out Kuya J's latest summer offering, the Ube Halo Halo. Nothing different from their Milky Halo Halo, still has the same 'sahog', silky leche flan on top and crushed corn flakes. This time, ice is made of coconut milk and ube! So creamy and decadent. For only 109pesos this is good to share! We love it. Recommended.
I've been here with some frieds. The place is good and the ambiance was ok. We ordered bulalo, grilled salmon and adobong kangkong. The salmon was a bit "malansa" and the skin was very hard, there's nothing special for the kangkong, the bulalo was good tho. Overall, the food is ok, but for it's price; not really worth it. We tried to order shake, but they said the blender was broken. Too bad.

Kuya J has the taste of traditional Filipino food with several twists that work. Their kare kare bagnet is flavored perfectly and the grilled stuffed pusit with bbq sauce is divine, but the grilled scallops with cheese has rhema perfect hint of smokey flavor.
Kuya J is added up to my most fave Filipino restaurants that serve delish Pinoy food. What I enjoyed from what we ordered? Everything! I love the sizzling pusit (especially its sauce), the Bagnet (!!!), and sinigang!!! Their mango shake is also yummy and fresh! I will recommend this for those who are finding yummy pinoy food with affordable prices.

Ordered kuya j's bulalo and sizzling sisig. Got curious that's why we tried to eat here. The service is good and the food is like the traditional Filipino taste. It's just that the serving is not worth the price.
We love their grilled scallops good balance of cheese and garlic. The crispy pata had crispy skin and juicy meat. Service was fast and friendly.
Sorry i was not able to take so many pictures because me and my friends were so hungry when we ate here...3pm for our lunch! Imagine! Anyways, i recommended this place to them and they loved it! Not too pricey...If you are craving for our native dishes...go here...it will not disappoint! Burp!
