Here for work and was craving some good Filipino food & after some googling, this was the closest…read morespot to me and it was absolutely worth the drive from Little Rock! I had the pork dinaguan with rice (you can choose from regular steamed, garlic fried, or veggie fried rice...love having options!) and lumpia with a chili dipping sauce. I like my dinaguan on the soupier side, and this one delivered *just* the right amount of spice. So good! I also ordered a side of mung beans and loved them. Super flavorful, and you can get them plain or with pork, which is a nice touch. My partner had the pancit bihon and really enjoyed it; the serving size was massive, just FYI! For dessert I ordered a halo-halo to go. The flan and ube ice cream combined with all the fillings at the bottom made my inner child so happy. Hadn't had halo-halo in a while and this was such a lovely surprise. The customer service was fantastic and at one point one of the owners came out to check on us, which made the whole experience feel so warm and welcoming. Also got excited seeing all the silog options on the menu- definitely trying one of those next time! Seriously, go check this place out. You won't regret it!

Authentic Filipino Food and a Memorable Experience!…read more If you're looking for true Filipino food -- not fusion, not "modernized" -- Kusina Cuisine is the real deal. Everything about our meal felt like a taste of the Philippines. I ordered the Combo #3 BBQ Skewer with pancit and lumpia, and every bite was delicious. The noodles were a little different than I've had before -- shorter pieces instead of long strands -- but they were seasoned perfectly and full of flavor. The lumpia were long, crispy, and felt like a great value for the price. The pork BBQ skewers were tender, smoky, and had just the right amount of sweetness. For dessert, we tried the Banana Lumpia with Ube Ice Cream, and honestly, it was one of the best desserts I've ever had -- warm, crispy banana rolls with creamy Ube ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate. Absolute perfection! Beyond the food, the hospitality made the visit unforgettable. We were so excited to be there that we asked our server to take a picture of us with our food. Before he could, someone who we think was the owner came by, smiled, and playfully pushed the server into the booth with us -- so now we have a great photo with our server! It perfectly sums up the friendly, family-style atmosphere. If you're anywhere near Jacksonville and craving authentic Filipino cooking, you need to check this place out. The food, the people, and the experience are all top-notch.
