This was of the best brunches I've ever had in Jersey! I came here with my family because we saw…read morethat this place is run by a famous chef (Maricel) and that they even offer cooking classes. We were quite hungry so we ordered one of the tower sets and some other stuff like lumpia and eggs. I loved the tower- it featured a superb mix of meats, potatoes, eggs, and sweet pastries. I will definitely say either share it or come super hungry because I was stuffed to the brim by the end of the meal. Service is super fast and efficient too. The owner did rounds to talk to everyone as well which felt quite inviting. The vibe inside is also nice and cozy, and the tables are spaced pretty far apart so it doesn't feel crammed in there. Overall, highly recommend as one of the best Filipino spots and brunch spots in the central Jersey area.

This is an excellent find and won't mind going back to discover more mouth-watering dishes. My husband and I had the theee-tiered set of different kinds of food for brunch. Amazing that every item from pandesal to suman to siomai, tapa, sinangag and more were cooked to perfection! As if that were not enough we even tried the corn and cheese ice cream and the sansrival were to die for! Sometimes you feel like keeping the best kept secrets, but this place can't be kept a secret! The customers will definitely enjoy every bite of their food!

Qsina 8 in Union, NJ, is an acclaimed Filipino-Asian fusion restaurant. Diners and costumers like…read moreme praise the authentic homestyle dishes, standout flavors, generous portions, and exceptionally very friendly and warm service, though some of my companions note a plain ambiance and higher price points ( for me their pleasing food quality and taste outweighs the price ). The Chicken Sisig, Palabok, pork BBQ and sizzling Biko with ice cream are a must-try from the food menu. The appetizers, like the piping hot vegetable lumpia and their humongous portion of Halo-halo as dessert are highly recommended by me and other reviewers. When we dined at this place, the whole staff gave me a feeling as if I was eating at an aunt's house, with the owner and staff providing very welcoming, family-style care. I have been living in NY for more than 30 years, have already eaten in so many low and high-end Filipino restaurants, in terms of food quality and taste, I may say this by far is the best that I have experienced. If given the chance to be in New Jersey again, I will definitely, 100% be back to this place for their delicious and flavorful food. Some of my companions point out that the seating area is relatively small, which can lead to limited availability during peak times, and a few note the interior decor is fairly plain but it did not matter to me because the food that I ordered/tried were great and amazing (properly spiced, cooked very well and soooooooo delicious!! ). Food portions are generous, presentation was appetizing and excellent, staff service was attentive and great ( I noticed that our water glasses were always filled up which is a service very consistent in so many high-priced restaurants that I have been ). Table setting is good, food utensils and plates were very clean ( yes, I checked it! ). I am extremely satisfied with my food experience and the hospitality of the owner and their staff in this Filipino restaurant. HIGHLY RECOMMENDABLE!!!

I have given this place a few tries they were much better the first time around but this time…read morearound I decided unfortunately it's not for me . Service wasn't that great and we were the only customers there at the time then other guest staggered in . I'm all for restaurants thriving and always wish them luck but holy cow prices are crazy average appetizers are $16.50 or more and entree dishes are $25 or more for serving sizes and flavors are really lacking in a lot of dishes . Lechon was cut thinner not the usual big chunks and the oil tasted old and was greasy . Sinigang with the Baboy was very underwhelming the Baboy wasn't boiled down enough . The sisig has too much of a soy sauce taste and way too much mayo on top . The chicharron bulaklak was okay could have used a bit more seasoning and seemed to be a popular item that day . The BBQ stick was decent but not for $18 . Being Filipino myself I know everyone has their own way of making certain dishes so people may like it but in my opinion I've had better at a few other spots . Wishing them all the best .

Having my late lunch on weekday here…read more I ordered their lunch combo of white rice, fried veggie roll (lumpia gulay) and pork on tamarind soup (sinigang pork). Not a busy place I late afternoon. Self service like a cafeteria set-up. Server is friendly and helpful. Very clean, well lighted and uniquely decorated Filipino Restaurant. New owners took over from former owners of Phil-Am Restaurant. They modernize the place and upgraded the lighting fixtures and changed the whole setup of the place. They have catering service too.

I'm glad I gave them another shot because they are 10x better now! Food wise, everything is pretty good. Also, they give you a decent amount of food now for the combo meal. I usually get their sisig and their bbq liempo and white rice. I've also had their dinuguan (pork blood stew), chicken afritada, pakbet(veggies with shrimp paste), sinigang(pork with sour soup). You choose 2 dishes for your combo meal and a choice of either pancit (rice noodle) or rice . I haven't tried any of their desserts yet so I can't speak about that. Staff is very welcoming and happy. Ambiance is pretty much your typical filipino restaurant. You pick your food, pay, then you seat yourself. I keep coming back to this place pretty much once a wk lol. The combo I usually get is $12.99. But I think their combo meals start at $11.99, depending on what dishes you get. Also, they have a grocery store with lots of snacks, frozen food, ice cream, etc. I highly recommend this spot :-)

If you're hungry, Leo Filipino BBQ is the move--and clearly everyone else agrees because the…read morerestaurant was super packed when we went on a snowy Saturday lunch. We did the combo, and the portions were very generous--especially the garlic rice, which was fluffy, aromatic, and perfectly garlicky. Easily one of the highlights of the meal. The combo is the way to go because you get a great mix of flavors: * BBQ pork skewer: tender, smoky, and glazed with that classic sweet-savory Filipino BBQ sauce * Longganisa: rich, slightly sweet, and nicely charred * Dinuguan: deep, savory, and comforting--well balanced and great over rice * Pinakbet: hearty and home-style, with vegetables cooked just right and full of flavor Everything paired incredibly well with the garlic rice, which honestly could stand on its own. Big portions, bold Filipino flavors, and a bustling, no-frills vibe--this spot clearly knows what it's doing.

I love, love, love their dish choices especially the sisig and the teriyaki chicken. There is also a $5 special and other combo specials as well.

Two entrees and rice/noodles for a set price, but when you select your two entrees, if it contains beef or pork, which is the WHOLE menu, they charge you extra. Now what starts out as a combination plate with rice/noodles and two entrees for $11, becomes + $2 for beef and + $3 for pork, and you end up paying $16 with tax. Inflation is a B!tch and everybody is taking advantage of it in their own way. I cook better than these restaurants anyway. We were just trying to patronize to show support. I'll be cooking from home until this lunacy ceases to persist.

We came on a Friday at lunch 11/8/24. My husband and myself ordered food and ate it at the restaurant. I can only speak for the food I ate. Our food was places in a black to go container. I ordered sour soup, rice and Lechon kawali. The food is good. My husband ate all his food. We also had take orders Pork bbq on a stick Beef and chicken empanadas Dried fish Suman sa lihiya and I also requested additional brown sweet sauce. I was so happy ! We went home- unpacked the food I was excited to eat by suman- I opened both brown sweet sauce to find MOLD GROWING ON BOTH CONTAINERS. This is unacceptable. It just killed my vibe. You as restaurant workers who represent the food you make and sell, should know better. This is not good business! I am not to sure if I will return. It may be closer to home , MOLD ON THE FOOD YOU SELL IS NOT ACCEPTABLE! At least in Jersey city , I can look at the food that I am buying. Advise to owner and employees: please look before selling food to customers.
