Kusina - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I found the Filipino food to be the best in town. We particularly enjoyed the Sunday brunch with the family, which offered a great atmosphere. Everyone was incredibly friendly, and they even offer sushi. I highly recommend this place!

My family and I had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The staff was super nice. We arrived a bit late for lunch, around 2: 30 PM, and even though they typically close at 3 PM before reopening for dinner, they were kind enough to still serve us. We ordered the lechon kawali kare-kare, chicken adobo, oxtail-nilaga, cinegang pork, and krispy bulaklak. They also have a sushi bar, and we enjoyed a roll. Everything was cooked fresh and made to order. This is an impressive Filipino restaurant with a great establishment and even better staff. We're making it a tradition to eat here every time we come to SD.

We dined here for brunch with family who were new to the restaurant. The dining room was clean, and the service was on point. Our food arrived hot and delicious. However, I felt the variety of dishes could be improved with more different offerings. While the ube pancakes weren’t as hot as expected, several dishes were definitely worth getting: lechon, arrozcaldo, talong, fried egg & garlic rice, green beans, and beefsteak. The brewed drip coffee was also good. Overall, it was a decent experience. Compared to other AYCE Asian/Chinese restaurants nearby or even Kalaveras’ Mexican Restaurant, which offer similar AYCE brunches at a comparable price, the food variety here was significantly less, about 2-2. 5 times less. This means if you were to visit again soon, you'd likely encounter the same dishes. If you enjoy Filipino food, Kusina's is likely a very good choice. I just wish there were more hot dishes prepared.

We went to this restaurant hoping to dine, but our experience was disappointing. Although their sign indicated they were open, a sign at the door stated they were closed. This was particularly frustrating as their website advertised they were open until 8 PM, and we arrived at 7 PM.

My experience at this restaurant was quite positive. I ordered the chicken inasal and pork adobo combo. We arrived with half-empty stomachs, which is why we didn't finish our food, but the portions were pretty generous. The service was great, and we appreciated that parking was free!

My experience at this restaurant offered a variety of Filipino food, with options for both a Sunday brunch buffet and a regular menu. They highlight their beef kare kare as a specialty, which is a peanut sauce-based stew. I found it had a plentiful amount of veggies and beef. The lechon was a bit dry for my taste, though the skin was nicely crunchy. Regarding portions, a small cup of rice is sufficient for one person, while a large cup is overfilled and enough for two. The sisig nachos were decent, but be aware they can be a little spicy due to the chopped jalapenos.

My experience at this restaurant for the breakfast buffet on Sunday was so great. We can't wait to go back!

We visited this restaurant on a weeknight, expecting a buffet, but it seems they only offer it on Sundays. I wish this was clearly stated on their social media ads. Despite being the only ones there, we decided to try it, which turned out to be a big mistake. The garlic rice served was old and had an odd smell. We were too tired and hungry to mention it at the time, but I didn't feel well after getting home. Unfortunately, we had to throw away our leftovers of Adobo and Sisig because they were packaged with the rice. The Lumpia was the best item, but the shared container for the vinegar, instead of a freshly poured bottle, was a drawback.

My experience at this restaurant was amazing! I ordered the sisig nachos to share and the crazy Loco for my main. Both dishes were absolutely fantastic, scoring a perfect 10/10. I'm definitely planning on coming back. They also offer a Sunday brunch buffet, which sounds like a great reason to return!

I came here for the sizzling sisig after seeing a post about it, and my friends and I were quite excited. However, to our disappointment, the sisig tasted different than expected. The bistek and adobo were also a little off. While they weren't bad, they weren't particularly good either. On the positive side, the service was good and the place is nice.
