I've been coming to Jochi for years but have never done a review and it's long overdue. My go-tos…read morefor Filipino food for sure in San Diego are a certain place in Nat'l City that has a "Kitchenette" and Jochi. As far as Jochi I've never been disappointed with their food. Everything has always been delicious. I think the key to a Filipino joint is the turnaround of food. Usually there's a line of people waiting to get their food so the cooks are always churning out freshly cooked food. The key is to not have the food just sitting for a long time and that is the case at Jochi. For this recent trip I got a plate that includes either rice or pancit and 2 items. I got half and half of rice and pancit an pinakbet as my 1st item and sisig as my 2nd. Both the pinakbet and sisig here have always been some of my favorites. Both are full of flavor and never disappoint. Also, Jochi's portions are always huge! This day I ate at the restaurant and for sure I had leftovers. I almost forgot to mention that I asked for a complimentary sabow (soup). It's the soup from their sinigang. As they ladle the soup into the container they sometimes (usually) includes chunks of pork which is very much appreciated. Jochi will always have a customer in me. Also, whenever I need a bunch of anything for a party like lumpia, empanadas, pancit, sisig, or anything else I always go to Jochi.

They serve well-known Filipino cuisines like adobo, lechon kawali, sisig, afritada, dinuguan, bbq sticks, lumpia and more. Their food is good and the portion is huge.

There are meals you eat, and then there are meals that bring people together. Tita's Kitchenette…read moredid exactly that. I have a loved one in a nursing facility in North San Diego and the staff there provide the kind of compassionate care that comes with dignity. After experiencing another facility that was so heartbreaking it left me questioning everything. I wanted to do something meaningful to thank this incredible team. A card didn't seem like enough. Flowers fade. But good food? Good food creates memories. I ordered the sisig, pancit, and their famous signature lumpia rolls, along with pandesal from Valerio's. Ordering was a breeze. I placed my order at 9:30 a.m. and picked everything up at 4:00 p.m. Three small trays turned out to be an incredible amount of food. I planned for 10 people, but it fed a whole lot more as many from different units gathered to share. The moment that sealed it for me happened before a single tray was opened. A nurse I had never met walked over and said, "Oh, you went to Tita's. I recognized their lumpia." That gave me chills because I knew I had chosen the right place. The food tasted like it came straight from Mamasan's kitchen, authentic, comforting, and made with love. Staff members kept stopping by to thank us, and my only conidition, "Make a plate for the receptionist. He's awesome too." That is what great food does. It creates connection. If you're feeding family, friends, coworkers, or an entire care team, Tita's Kitchenette delivers more than delicious Filipino food. They help you show appreciation in a way people will remember.

We were in the Point Loma area close to SD airport and Tita's was about 10 mins away. Getting there was a maze freeway wise and when we got there, while the line was out the door, moved quickly. We ordered several combos and from what I can recall beefsteak, pancit, adobo, lumpia, sinigang and menudo/caldereta were all deeelicious and just like what you'd expect at a filipino party- but better. Staff here were all friendly and helpful. Love Tita's and look forward to returning!

As we arrived we could smell the delicious skewers that had just been cooked outside on their grill.....YUMMY!! It was like a beacon calling us in. Friendly staff & very welcoming. What we ordered: * Three Item Combo - Fried Rice / Pancit (half & half), BBQ Chicken Skewer, Pork Adobo, Sisig, 5 Shanghai Pork Lunpia & a scoop of their homemade Ube Ice Cream. They offer their quests a complimentary side of their Sinigang Soup. Everything had so much great flavor. Very generous portions. The only thing I was a little bummed out about was the food temperature. I understand they have their food in warming trays and under warming lights. However, the food was on the warm / cool side. Good thing we had leftovers so we can try the food again at a warmer / hot temperature.

She showed me where the menus were on the counter. We ordered take out. 1 order of lechon kawali with garlic rice and 1 chicken inasal with rice. It did take 20 minutes to cook the inasal but I did not mind waiting since it takes time for chicken to grill. The meat paired well with what seems like their house made sauce. And the pickled papaya was a great way to balance the savory of the meal. The price was not bad for what it was. My only take away was the chicken inasal being a bit dry. It had some flavor but lacked that juicy flavor to it. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area

I was torn between the tortuga ninja and the breakfast mexipino. Decided to go with the mexipino sandwich and the ube pancake. Ube pancake - served on a pizza plate. Wow factor lol. The pancake was good, however i felt it could have used a macapuno syrup or something coconutty to complement the ube. The drizzle they put on it was good and i asked for extra and it boosted the flavor. This can probably feed 4-5 people depending on how hungry you are. Mexipino sandwich - this was good enough to split. I loved the savory and sweetness and saltiness. All the flavors complimented one another and i did a happy food dance. Calamansi mint drink - it was just ok for me. Reminds me of the calamansi drink from the pouches and they just added mint. It was too sweet for me so i probably wouldn't order again. It's not a big spot but they do have a lot of seating. The staff on duty were really nice. I want to come back to try the tortuga ninja sandwich. They do have high chairs for the little ones.
