Kuya J offers good filipino foods in which can be enjoyed even for kids because they also offer fried chicken. Their Bagnet Kare-Kare is a stand-out while their sisig is also good but not as good if you're expecting a Gerry's like taste. The halo-halo is also a stand-out with a very huge serving.
We ordered Crispy Pata, Crispy Catfish, Sinigang na Bangus, Relyenong Talong and Crab Rice Platter. The serving was good as well as the taste! I recommend to go eat here after lunch or before dinner hours since the queuing piles up. I gave a rating of 4 since there seems to be a lack of waiters; me and my family was lucky there were only a few customers so we easily got their attention when we needed to ask for extra water etc.
Brilliant experience, the food is just out of this world. The flavours and uniqueness of the bone marrow and prawns are unparalleled. Service was good
Ambience - Typical
Food - Just ordered their Halo Halo, original and Ube variants. If there's something I would rate a five, that would be the super fine crushed ice. The texture will remind you of ice cream. Their Halo Halo is creamy and tasty. However, there's nothing unique in its taste because it's similar to a famous Halo Halo brand from Pampanga. I expected it to be traditional with lots of ingredients. I got disappointed because it's not what I had in mind.
Service - Quick

Food is great and affordable too that's why it's always packed, always. But this space is surprisingly not! Good enough for me I can enjoy the food without the crowd... don't tell anyone! 😘
It was my first time eating in this branch. We ordered the following:
Crispy Kangkong
Humba
Kare-kare
Chopsuey
Bagnet
Crab Fried Rice
Watermelon Juice
Cucumber Juice
Ripe Mango Juice
Buko Juice
The Crispy Kangkong is an appetizer buy it was served in the middle of the meal already. Enjoyed eating it though. Overall, the food is ok. My only negative comment is that the Bagnet took a long time to be served. We were almost done eat when it arrived to our table. And oh i forgot about the Ripe mango juice that tasted like water.
We've been longing to eat at Kuya J's since my Mom's birthday. We only got a chance to eat here after my sister's graduation. The interior design was great, the walls and furniture used was on point. I was just not satisfied by the crew who took our orders. But the food was awesome! I ordered the banoffee for desert and it really complemented with our main dish. I also love the plating. My mom said that the halo-halo was the best. I look forward on coming back here.

At last, my family and I were able to find a branch that isn't too crowded. The place has a bright, warm and airy feel to it, helped no doubt by the warm lighting and light-colored shelves and mirror frames that surround the place.
I chose a cozy corner table for me and my fam but cleanup took a while. Also, the food took more than 15minutes to arrive.
I found the Nilagang Bulalo, Crispy Bagnet and the Sisig Rice adequate. However, the sinuglaw we ordered was left to wallow by itself after a fee token tastes.
Kuya J's is good if you want no-frills Pinoy meals but I think you can easily get these flavors when you cook at home.

Actually, for taste, service, innovation, and great service, i really like it here. The dishes are nice. In fact, it's a great place to bring friends from far away to experience Filipino cooking at its best. The sm Marikina branch was where I discovered how good their menu is. I think we've tried almost every item already being regulars. We know the staff by name, and in turn, they remember our quirks and preferences and accommodate us every possible way. And the bathroom there is very clean, which is a major consideration when i go out anywhere.
Now, the SM hypermarket branch. Again, the food is consistently well made. The service great. But a real turnoff to the max were the flies. Not just your ordinary household flies, but huge giant bangaws. Flies that big indicate there's something dead or rotting somewhere nearby. I whined repeatedly about it (nicely of course) but tolerated it. Even with several candles already spread across the table, one right on the food plate, the bangaws were undeterred. God knows what its like in the kitchen when out in the guest area they buzz lazily and without fear. There is no excuse for the flies. Management should be reprimanded. I don't care to hear any excuses, flies and other pests can be systematically controlled. Lighting candles is a management failure to get to the root cause and nip the problem. Ok, ang haba na ng sinabi ko. I can't sleep and I can't stay awake. Needless to say, don't eat at this branch until they acknowledge and solve the problem. In the west, this place would be padlocked for fly infestation. Ok a@m tired of talking na.

I was looking for a resto that looks so classy and affordable, so we try this Kuya J's restaurant. I love their Sinigang and special cebuano mango cheesecake, we tried also their lechon kawali which is very tasty. Thanks to my boyfriend who brought me into resto, I no longer have to go to a buffet because I am already happy with my new fave resto. I am really satisfied! thank you Kuya J restaurant...
