Kusina - Filipino Restaurant

Found this gem after my mom needed to ship a couple of Balikbayan Boxes - yes, they do that here! They also have a little sari-sari store stocked with all the Filipino essentials: Clover chips, walis, Choco-nut, Jufran Banana Catsup, and even fun novelty items like mugs, aprons, and pamaypays. Basically, it's a one-stop shop! My mom and I decided to stay for lunch and ordered at the counter. They'll let you know what's no longer available, which I appreciated. We got the palabok and a tofu combo plate that comes with three lumpias, pancit bison, and rice - my mom swapped the pancit for bangus since we already had the palabok. Food came out quickly, which was perfect because we were starving! One guy was handling everything - taking orders, delivering food, the works and he kept it all running smoothly. The food was delicious across the board. The tofu especially impressed me; it was beautifully seasoned, which is rare since most restaurants tend to under-do it. On our way out, we grabbed a halo-halo for my dad and a bilo-bilo guinataan to go - both were total yums. We'll definitely be back!

First time ordering from this restaurant, and unfortunately, I was disappointed. I ordered the pinakbet, but it didn't taste like the traditional Filipino dish I'm used to. They used butternut squash instead of the native kalabasa typically found in pinakbet, which significantly changed the flavor. The tapa was also not what I expected. Instead of the usual sliced beef tapa, it was made with beef flakes. It was overly salty and tasted very different from the classic tapa flavor. Overall, the food did not meet my expectations for authentic Filipino cuisine, and I don't see myself ordering from here again.

I purchased the chicken and vegetable lumpia's. The chicken texture and flavor didn't seem traditional. I have had much better ones. The vegetable ones were so greasy and I was not given any napkins. I only ate one of each. Who's cooking back there? I suggest you bake them and not sell such greasy food. Tw

They also have Tortang talong (vegetarian fried eggplant omelette that's similar to Korean pajeon) as an entree option for the combo meal that's not on the menu. First time experiencing Filipino food and it was pretty good. Also got the palabok noodles, they were like glass noodles but softer in a garlic soy sauce. Overall, flavors, textures and presentation were good, only complaint would be that the portions were a bit small

We ordered the tofu Sisig and rellenong bangus. While the Sisig was a bit too oily for our liking and could use a touch more seasoning, the rellenong bangus stood out with its well-cooked and flavorful preparation. The ambiance of the place was quiet and inviting, and the staff were friendly and accommodating throughout our visit. Overall, despite a few minor drawbacks, the restaurant offers a delightful taste of Filipino cuisine with a welcoming atmosphere.
