The sizzling pares with the garlic rice was very good for a good price. The halo halo was a little disappointing because the ice quickly stuck together in chunks and made eating it difficult.

Me and.my son went there bc we both missed our Filipino food and the halo halo..I spent $95 and drove 36 miles back and forth I don't care! Bc it's worthit..bc they are inside of the vhinse grocery store and we bought other ingredients for house food. We will back there again..

The main thing dragging down this overall score is Atmosphere. This was the original Filipino Restaurant in Metro ATL. It's counter service inside City Farmer's Market Food Court (formerly Assi). I've been here a few times over the years.
My regular local dining companion and I considered prices a bit high considering this is counter service. I interacted with at least three different employees. First employee took my entree order of Pinakbet Veggies (Pumpkin, Japanese Eggplant, Bitters Melon, and Green Beans.) I did not realize this comes with Chopped Lechon Kawali on top (Roasted Pork Belly). So I ordered a separate order of Lechon Kawali as a meat entree. My friend ordered Meat Lumpia. I got a food buzzer to let me know when my entrees would be ready. Everything did not fit on a single tray and the first employee helped me bring my extra serving of rice to the table. Another employee came by to help us clean up and pick up plates. I then ordered dessert from a third employee. I ordered Cassava Cake and Halo Halo. She offered to warm up the Cassava Cake and brought me my Halo Halo.
My family is Filipino so I am pretty familiar with most of the menu. Lunch is my main meal of the day so I wish the entrees were a bit larger. However, as mentioned I planned for this by ordering two entrees. Each entree was about $15. Just a bit under. It was too high a price point for me to stock up on take out for the week. I do have more than one serving of rice and Lechon Kawali left over for lunch tomorrow. I wish the Green Beans in the Pinakbet were fresher. They seemed a bit wilted. I did ask for an extra serving of Bagaoong which was at no charge. The Lechon pieces in the entree were pretty substantial chunks.
The Cassava Cake was quite good. My friend had never tried this before and liked that it wasn't too sweet. She had never had Ube Ice Cream before and thought it tasted like Vanilla. She was pretty impressed looking at all the ingredients in the Halo Halo.
We go out about once or twice a month together and both thought Kuya's would go on a repeat list.

Absolutely disgusting. If I didn't live so far away I would of taken it back. I drove 27 miles to try this place. I ordered Beef Kare Kare. And omg it tasted like chemicals. I am pretty sure it had been frozen for a long time. I also ordered lumpia which was ok. I won't be back. It was horrible.
Food is hit or miss. You can tell they serve leftover meat from previous days. Its apparent in the texture and in the flavor.
Update:
The owner responded and assured me that they will address the quality control moving forward. The response was very professional and they handled things in a very timely manner. I will continue to support the business moving forward.

The cashier at the front is rude. After I paid she just walked away. Didn’t give me a receipt. Didn’t say how long it would be.
Coming back from cebu I was craving some Filipino food and damn this hit the spot! I loved every bite!

Kuya’s serves a flavorful sisig with just the right kick from the chili. The sizzling plate, runny egg, and lime brought everything together. Authentic, delicious, and a must-try! & they have a balut!
