I thought I had already left a review, but I guess I hadn't!…read more I always make a point to stop by this place for takeout because I love their cooking. It's much better than many of the other Filipino restaurants I've tried in the Valley. Their food isn't overly greasy like some other Filipino places, and everything is always fresh and flavorful. The restaurant is also very clean, including the restroom, which I really appreciate. Ed was the one who prepared my order and he was friendly, helpful, and courteous, making the experience even better. So far, I've tried the dinuguan, chicken tinola, egg rolls, adobong pusit, and sinigang, and every dish has been absolutely delicious! The only downside is that they're about 25 miles from me. Otherwise, I'd probably be eating here every day!

We're considering using Cebuchon to cater at our wedding near the end of the year, so to help us…read moredecide, we decided to take a couple trips over to try some of their foods. Parking and seating were both plentiful, and they had lots of food options! Their food is so good and flavorful -- definitely good quality food! I especially loved the Sinigang -- it was just the right amount of sour! We've had the liempo, the lechon, sinigang, and chicken adobo. The second time we had visited we hoped to try the BBQ, which was there the first time, but it seemed like they didn't have any, so it looks like we'll have to come back again to try it! As someone who knows alot of the dishes there, I think it's easy for me to decide what I want, but I do think it might be helpful to have name cards on the food area or on the glass so those who are newer to Filipino food may at least know the names of the foods they're looking at. I really enjoy the food & will definitely continue to come back here! Who knows, we may have them at our wedding!

Went here last Sunday afternoon- I wanted some Filipino food to-go and I've never been to this…read moreplace. I ordered the chicken inasal - Paa (which is the thigh and leg parts of the chicken). I also ordered Batchoy. I sat on the side and my order probably took about 10+ min so it wasn't a big deal to order and wait. If you decide to dine in- it's a no frills place. I see a lot of groups dining but they only have a few tables. I got home and was pleasantly surprised that the chicken was 2 pieces of the quarter leg. I really liked the chicken, properly marinated and cooked well on the grill. The dipping sauce and calamnsi add more flavor. The batchoy was also good and not salty compared to other places I've been that sell batchoy. Solid place for Bacolod chicken. Just be sure to wrap and secure tour togo order for soup. Some of my soup spilled in the bag.

The choices to choose from are always enough and there's plenty of meat included. You basically pick what you would like from a row of food, similar to a Panda Express. If you want to dine in just note that the cooling inside the restaurant are just spinning fans so if it is a hot day, it can still feel pretty hot. The guy that serves us food is always happy to greet us with a smile. He prepares us with a delicious and authentic Filipino meal. The interior design is simple with a water dispenser in the corner and a TV always playing Filipino channels. Keep note of the times they're open because they aren't open for dinner.

3.4 / 5 I might have been hungry badly coz the food was passable to me. Dinuguan was perhaps left…read moreover from the other day but it was still good. I can tell when it is newly cooked. Pork belly was ok. Flavor and seasoning was minimal. But then it was sliced up thin though. They can do better. Inside was ok. It was clean and well lighted. Service was good. They were polite and helpful. Great people. Parking was not a problem. It was open wide for anyone and lots of space to park.

It was quite a trek to get here. It's in the middle of the west Valley. No easy freeway access…read more There's quite a few businesses in this strip mall. Parking spaces are super tiiiiiiight. I didn't see any ADA parking at all. We were happy with what we got. Pork belly with umami gravy bowl and added 4 pc "eggroll" aka lumpia. It was really 2 lumpia cut in half. I probably should have ordered a full side but it was a perfect amount. Lumpia was super crispy on the outside. Very flavorful without being overly garlicky or seasoned. Came with sweet chili sauce. Chicken longanisa. It said ground chicken so I was expecting crumbled meat. It was formed into a patty. Very tender and delicious. Also served on rice with egg over easy, scallions and pickled vegetable. Since it was our first time here I got the two bun combo with pork belly and angus burger. Pork belly had a little kick in the sauce. The bao bun was a nice compliment so it wasn't too spicy. 2 slices of cucumber also in the bun to help cut the spice. The angus burger had a creamy mayo sauce with sautéed mushrooms and half cooked onions. Not what I expected but definitely would get again. The side of fries were thin, crispy and very well seasoned. There's not a lot of counter service. You order at a machine. I had to wait because I wanted a printed receipt. As far as I could see, only 2 people working. They brought our food to the table and that guy was very nice and cordial as we asked for a few more things. No one was eating there. Saw about 3 people order take out. Plenty of tables and a picnic table for seating. I definitely loved the wall decor and the clock was my favorite! They had Chinese, Korean and Japanese on the wall. I didn't see any Tagalog where I was sitting but I think that's the main Asian influence.

The boys and I were driving around for a bit to see what we wanted for lunch so I pulled over to…read morepull out the nifty Yelp app to see what was close by. We decided on Oi Asian which had great reviews, so why not. First off, let me say that there is plenty of parking, however, the parks are extremely narrow for some reason. It was a struggle to get in and out of the car due to the width of the parks smh. Anyway, once we got inside, there wasn't anyway at the register and after standing there for a while, I noticed the kiosk so unplaced my order there. There were only two cooks in the back. We placed our order and sat down. The place was clean but everything seemed like it was do it yourself. The boys were thirsty and there wasn't an option for water on the kiosk, so I called one of the cooks from the back to pay for a water and he rang me up. It was pretty rough in there. At one point I had to get up and grab my own fork by reaching over the counter. Once our food was ready, one of the cooks brought our food and I wasn't really feeling my meal, which was the dynamite crawfish bowl. I didn't like the sauce it came with. I just picked at the crawfish and left the rest. As for the boys meal, the fried chicken adobo bowl was REALLY good! I ended up eating theirs because my oldest son didn't like it, which was great for me lol. My youngest and I tore that bowl up. Anyway, the verdict is, I may search around for other options but I know that if I can't find anything else I can always grab a chicken adobo bowl but the service was pretty nonexistent. That chicken adobo bowl saved it. OOO 3 out of 5

My son and I met up here with one of his good friends and her 2 kids. She is Filipina and guided us…read morethrough the food. We let her order for us since we are not too familiar with Filipino cuisine and were down for anything! Of course, we know the standard dishes like adobo, lumpia, and pan cit, but this was a whole new world for us. We walked in on the 12th of this month at 4:30pm and were greeted by Roxanne behind the counter. The way this place works is that you can see the hot food in the case as if it were a cafeteria and you tell the employee which ones you want. There are many types of dishes to choose, ranging from seafood to stews, lumpia, rice/garlic rice, and street food style skewers. We tried a little bit of everything! For drinks we tried the Melon drink. They make it in-house and it was FANTASTIC! SO refreshing and really hits the spot on a hot day. We also shared the Calamansi Lemonade (not made in-house) and it was a bit too tangy for my palate. I preferred the Melon drink. For our food, I don't even know where to start. We had a vast variety of items on the table, including: Lumpia, Fried Fish, Garlic Rice, Chicken Adobo, veggie small egg rolls, Sinigang, Pork Dinuguan, Bitter Melon, and Longanisa Sausage. For the street food skewers, we tried a bunch of different ones including Fish Cake, Lobster, Pig Ears, and even Chicken Intestine. This was definitely an adventurous experience and we enjoyed it. Some items more than others, but overall it was a good experience. Some of the food was hot and some of it was just lukewarm. One thing that really disappointed me was that they didn't sell any pan cit. It's my favorite Filipino food and I love noodles in general. I was really looking forward to eating some, but oh well. For dessert, we tried their Buko Pandan drink along with their Halo Halo. They were very delicious and refreshing! Also well balanced and not overwhelmingly sweet. The restaurant is super clean and decently sized. For some reason, the music is louder than usual. They were playing some nice '80s jams when we got there, then they switched to some live Filipino bands, then a DJ Megamix of 2010s pop hits. We could hardly hear our thoughts. That's how loud the music was. So actually, they share this space between two different restaurants. On one end you have Kusina ni Kuya but they are also partnered with the Seafood Boil restaurant next door. They both share the dining area. They have one restroom for men and one for women. Both were clean, but the trash in the women's restroom needed to be emptied. They also offer catering. Parking lot is shared with other businesses. We had a great time catching up with each other and if you're looking for some authentic Filipino food in Northridge, you should check this place out!

I ate at Kusina Ni Kuya in Northridge a few weeks ago and figured it was time to share my…read moreexperience. I had just finished a short hike at Wilbur Tampa Park Trailhead and had built up a solid appetite. I noticed this place on the drive up and made a mental note to try it--and post-hike felt like the perfect time. Kusina Ni Kuya is located right next to Cajun Ni Kuya, and they share the same dining area. The Kusina Ni Kuya side is more of a traditional Filipino *turo-turo* (point-point) setup, where you choose your dishes cafeteria-style. I went with the **beef sinigang**. I was initially planning to order two entrees, but after seeing the generous portion they served, I decided one was plenty. While eating, I noticed trays of Cajun-style seafood boils coming out to nearby tables--interesting to see, even if it's not really my thing. As for the food, the sinigang delivered. The broth had a nice, balanced tang--sour but not overpowering--and it really hit the spot after the hike. Simple, comforting, and satisfying. **Why 4 stars?** Very solid food and portions, but not quite a standout experience that pushes it into that must-go, 5-star category. **Overall:** A reliable spot for Filipino comfort food--especially if you're coming down from a hike and want something warm and filling.

It's right next to the Cinnabon upstairs in the food court and they've been here for a while which I'm very surprised by since most of these food spots close real quick. The lady who helped me was very nice, I really wanted to try their chicken adobo but seemed like they were out of it for the day. She did point over to this other one that looked like adobo and she said it was really good. I didn't get the name of it but I went for it! It's honestly like a sweet pork that tastes like adobo? Maybe it is and I just didn't realize lol. I also got their Pancit which all came out to about $10. The Pancit was okay, tasted a bit bland and I felt like I had to add some Louisiana hot sauce to it, I'm sure lemon would've been fine. Overall not bad, I'd come back and try their other menu items.

We came to visit the San Fernando Valley, and my aunt was on a mission to find the best hopia with lots of variety -- and wow, did this place deliver. They have all the classic favorites: ube, mongo, baboy, yema, pandan -- and every single one was absolutely delectable. Each piece of hopia feels like it was made with love. The texture is just right, the fillings are generous, and the flavors are rich without being overly sweet. You can truly taste the quality. Their bibingka galapong with cream cheese is another must-try -- warm, creamy, freshly made, and incredibly comforting. It's the kind of treat that makes you close your eyes for a second just to savor it. And then... I saw Jerry coming out with freshly made chicharon -- both with laman and without. Oh boy! I immediately ordered a packet. Crispy, flavorful, and perfect to pair with vegetables or just snack on by itself. The place is clean, well-organized, and they even offer catering. Pricing is very reasonable for the quality you're getting. Plus, they offer website ordering, so you can send hopia and other goodies to family anywhere in the United States. Hopia, bibingka, and chicharon here are definitely a must-try. If you're anywhere near Winnetka, don't miss this spot -- you'll leave happy and probably with a box (or two) in hand!

I initially didn't believe that it was not home cooked. To my surprise when I went there the food was exactly the same as I remembered it at the party. The restaurant is located inside of a supermarket on the right hand side as soon as you walk in. There are plenty of parking in the lot. Pros: They have the best sigsig (fried chopped pork skin with onion, lime juice & jalapeño) I have had in my life. Their Pancit is mind blowing. Sometimes it's best to place your order the day before or early on that day. Great price point, large portions. Friendly patrons. Cons: Food sells fast, especially the sigsig. Long line if you didn't place your order over the phone. Overall the best island pacific out of all the franchise that I tried. Well done you guys!

Very disappointing experience at Island Pacific…read more As always, this is not the first time I've had issues with the fish department. I specifically told the employee multiple times to cut my milkfish only and NOT clean it because I've had bad experiences before and wanted to avoid another mistake. I repeated "cut only" several times to make sure the instructions were clear. Unfortunately, the employee still cleaned the fish, removed the scales, and prepared it completely differently from what I requested. This ruined the preparation I needed for my paksiw. To make matters worse, another employee came out and started arguing with me, saying I should have been clearer next time. Instead of acknowledging the mistake and apologizing, they blamed the customer. The ongoing communication issues, lack of attention to customer instructions, and unprofessional attitude are becoming frustrating. When the same problems happen repeatedly, it's no longer an isolated mistake--it's a training and customer service problem. This store is starting to feel like a circus. Management needs to improve employee communication skills, customer service, and accountability. Customers should not have to argue just to get a simple request followed.

Guys. I know this must be an off day. But please take this info to heart and hopefully use it for…read morequality control purposes. I've been going here for years. I don't live nearby, but I was craving Filipino food. So I bit the bullet and ordered through Doordash, even though it cost me what a full tank of gas costs me. But the inconsistencies have to be mentioned once and for all, so that you can use it to improve. First off, does somebody not taste the food when cooking? Look at my photos and see how gorgeous the food appears. But the palabok had no taste, except for bad taste. As in, no flavoring. Did the cook forget to add the most important ingredients and seasonings? And then there's the tocilog. Everything was perfect; except for the tocino, which is the superstar of the combo?? It tasted old and gamey. What went wrong? I don't know. I'm being generous with the 3-stars, because I am hoping this is just another one-off. However, more than one one-off is no longer a one-off. It's your business practices. Please help me give you a better rating, I know that when your food is good, it's really good. But you need to be consistent. It only takes one visit for a first-timer to never return. As well as for a repeat customer who knows they have other options. I just spent $50 on two dishes that I can't even eat, and I'm not being dramatic. Read my reviews and see that I'm usually generous with my reviews. But I'd like for you to continue to thrive. Good luck and please don't hate me!

They had their kids to watch as well but they managed everything just fine! Food took about 15 minutes after we ordered and we took them home to enjoy! We ordered their special 3 for $8 chicken sisig tacos and the pulled pork adobo tacos. I had to get the piña-mania juice and ended up getting another one for my mom in the end because there was no way I could share mine LOL!! Shoutout to Sherille for also giving us complimentary lumpia and empanaditas for being their first customers of the day!! SUPER crisp, perfect texture, delish!! The star of the show was the Ube Tres Leches for sure! Not too sweet and loved every bite. The tacos in the photos on their menu had sauce on top but when we got home, there was sadly no sauce. We managed and made our own chipotle mayo thing to put on top, otherwise it would've been too dry. Overall the flavors were delicious! Some of the tortillas got a bit hard so maybe it's best to eat while you're there but still enjoyed everything! Looking forward to visiting them again and trying their other menu items!
