I had the absolute pleasure of dining at JJ’s Bistro in Sun City, and I have to say, this place is a hidden gem for anyone craving authentic Filipino cuisine. From the moment I walked in, I was met with warm hospitality and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere.
The food? Absolutely phenomenal. I ordered the pork adobo, pancit, and a side of lumpia, and every bite transported me straight to the heart of the Philippines. The pork adobo was rich, tender, and perfectly seasoned — that tangy, savory balance was spot on. The pancit was fresh, flavorful, and packed with delicious vegetables and meat, and the lumpia? Crispy perfection! You can tell everything is made with love and tradition.
If you’re looking for a spot that serves authentic, home-cooked Filipino food with unforgettable flavor, look no further than JJ’s Bistro. This is the kind of place that keeps you coming back for more. Can’t wait to return and try the rest of the menu! Highly recommend.

We had a friend Wayne tell us about this Fantastic Filipino restaurant near Boswell hospital in Sun City. He brought us some Siopao. We loved it so much that went back and ordered a dozen more. Great atmosphere awesome food smells!! Delicious food!! My family has a little bit of Filipino background and had to check it out.

We only ordered Lumpia. It was good. Had a video of the menu items playing, saw several I would like to try next. Owners are very nice.

Great authentic food, simple egg salad sandwich or grilled cheese, breakfast is yummy, pleasant atmosphere, Judy and Rick are always smiling, plenty of snacks for someone on a quick lunch break, and plenty of drink options.

Great find in the neighborhood. Food was very very good. Customer service is excellent with Mr Rick up front gretting you. Breakfast was excellent. Normally I cook for myself. With Mrs Judy cooking its like mommas cooking. And... I cleaned my plate. For lunch I had the Pork Adobo. It was so so tender. I really enjoyed the Pansit with some very moist chicken. It was very flavorful. Not oily like you normally find elsewhere. Great to have a hidden gem in the neighborhood. Thank you.

My daughter and I decided to try this place after having blood work done. We were surprised to see that they have Filipino food, which we both have been craving. The man at the counter showed us to a table by the windows. We ordered the pot stickers, lumpias, and pancit. We both thought everything tasted wonderful. We will definitely be back again.

I had taken a friend to one of the Medical Offices here and had an hour to kill so I decided to check out JJ's bistro. Both of the owners were very friendly and treated me well the entire time I was here. Now to the good stuff. The food is all made fresh to order. The soups, the tempura, the rice everything is made to order so it does take a little bit of extra time for your food to come out but in my opinion that is well worth it. I ordered the number three combo which is temperature shrimp fried rice and wonton soup. All of which were very very good. Unfortunately I don't live in the area so I won't be able to make it here very often but for me worth the drive. I would definitely recommend trying this place out. It's small with a nice atmosphere and very good food

Cool little place with very good food but the guy who works the counter and is an owner I believe...is a gastopo. Seems to hate you for coming in.Almost have to sign an agreement when eating there, alot of rules and regulations. Some understandable....most are ridiculous. He ll bankrupt them...too bad,good grub.

Not food related, never had an opportunity to sit. First time to this building and early for a doctor's appointment so we asked about being sat. We thought we'd spend about 20-30 minutes with a drink and a snack (not a meal).The man behind the counter said "are you going to order?" We said yes. He said "you order here." I asked for a menu and he condescendingly pointed to a small table at the entrance and proclaimed "you walked right past it". I turned to get the menu, already annoyed with his attitude and decided not to order and that we would just purchase a drink at the counter and go. He assumed we meant sit with a drink (which wasn't the case, we wanted to buy a drink and leave). He then points to a $10 minimum sign and says "we get very busy here and require $10." At that point his demeanor had me upset so we refused to buy anything and left.Customer service goes a long way with me. I didn't mind not being sat (I understand the reasons), I do mind being spoken to like I'm ignorant or a bother. Do better JJ's.

Stopped in after getting blood work done, ordered the #2 Special... it was very tasty! Had the banana dessert(but it's not banana? )... I've been trying to eat there for some time. Glad I was able to stop in this time!
If you’re looking for authentic Filipino food, look no further!This family owned quaint restaurant is everything that my family and I have been looking for.To start, the service is unmatched. You feel like you’re right at home! The owners are welcoming and interactive with their patrons.Next, Judy’s cooking is out of this world. From the crunchy and flavorful lumpia, to the delicious Pancit and juicy adobo, the flavors are to die for.We had been looking to taste authentic “kare-kare” that’s not on the menu. We asked Judy if she could make some for us and in two weeks, she did! The oxtail in peanut butter sauce was exactly what our palate wanted. The fact that she went way out of her way to make this for us was very special. They truly care about their customer satisfaction!We’ve also tried their halo-halo and that is equally exquisite.Come by and try the best homemade Filipino food you can possibly have in Phoenix!

Filipino food, deliciously prepared and served by owners makes for a great change in a chain restaurant world. Add in sparkling cleanliness, some cute country decor, and a pleasant view if you get a window seat, and you're set for a relaxing meal. Everything was tasty in my combination platter #1 of Pansit (stir fried ultra fine cellophane noodles with cabbage, carrots, celery, onions, garlic, chicken, soy sauce); Fried rice (chicken thigh meat sautéed in garlic and onions with eggs, peas, carrots, soy sauce); Lumpia (deep fried spring rolls with pork, carrots, cabbage, onions, garlic, celery). Lost a star due to not accepting credit cards without a surcharge, and for the tiny proportion of the veggies to the carbs. Noodles and rice and dough covered veggies is a just too much starch and not enough veggies and meat, esp. for $11.99-- (rice and noodles are very inexpensive items esp. when bought wholesale) I hope they do well since it's pleasant food, but no way can I be a regular for that price, plus tip, plus losing my credit card's cash back bonus.

I happened to be walking by after my appointment and saw the items on the menu board outside. Ordered a number 1 combo and oh my goodness so good. Definitely going back again! Great price, delicious food and great customer service.
