Kuya Ja did an amazing job catering our family gathering! The food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The crispy lechon belly and savory pancit were crowd favorites, and even those new to Filipino cuisine couldn’t stop raving about it.
Kuya Ja’s attention to detail and warm hospitality made the experience unforgettable. If you’re looking for exceptional Filipino food to elevate any event, look no further.
Maraming salamat po, Kuya Ja, sa masarap na pagkain at napakagandang serbisyo!

Food: Chicken Adobo, Lechon Kawli and Pork and Shrimp Lumpia🍚
Comments: the chicken adobo was fall off the bone , broth was very flavorful. The Lechon was crunchy and glazed sauce they added on top was delicious and added a hint of sweet. The pork and shrimp lumpia was soo good and crunchy, definitely one of my favorite thing there! The staff was very friendly, will definitely come back. They do run out of Lechon towards the end of the day so make sure to come early if you want to try their Lechon!

Saw a rec on TikTok.
Ordered takeaway and I’m impressed.
Food was tasty, though pricey, or maybe the portions sizes were on the smaller side.
Ordered 2 beef empanadas and a Pancit.
There were quite a few patrons inside so they’re def doing it rite and a couple ppl waiting for takeaway.
I’ll def return to try some other options.

Just based on the ube milkshake alone this place gets 10 stars. Then add on the rest of the menu and well, what else is there to say. As the youths say, it was bussing. Which means delicious, it’s worth going out of your way for.

Delicious food, quick service, limited seating but definitely seems like a local gem. Seems a little overpriced but a quality restaurant and worth checking out!

This was our second visit, and it never disappoints! The food is consistently delicious, from appetizers to desserts. The restaurant is quite small, so during peak hours, you may need to wait for a table or opt for takeout.
I highly recommend their ube shake—it’s a must-try! If you're strict about your diet, this might be a tempting spot to avoid, but if you’re looking to experience amazing Filipino flavors, this is definitely the place to go.

Awesome sisig, so good they need to make a sisig burrito as an option along with the lechon burrito. Ribs, lechon, adobo chicken sandwich, and lechon burrito all were delicious.

I’ve been in search of lechon than tastes like home (Philippines Cebu) and this is the closest thing so far! It’s crispy , tender and tasty (fatty and oily too-that’s the flavor right there) their dipping sauce which is a sweet vinegary type is a bit sweet for me so I tend to bring my own vinegar (pinakurat) and that makes the experience 10/10, the pancit is a 10/10 as well and saves pretty good for a next day meal!

I haven’t had pork dishes this good in my life. I take anyone I can here. It’s great service and though it can be an intimate space it’s well worth a visit!
