A great go-to sit down Filipino restaurant with excellent food offerings. We ordered our cravings and we were not disappointed! The service was excellent, attentive and friendly. The ambiance was very pleasant and they played great music. Definitely recommend and we will continue to come back when we come visit LA.

So glad this place opened on Memorial Day!! I found this place on Yelp, called, and ordered 100 pieces of lumpia for $40. I went there and someone just shoutout my name while I arrived and lining up to ask about my order. I'm assuming he is the owner but definitely the guy I spoke to over the phone. The service was great and fast! The place felt really cozy and it makes me wanna come back and try other foods. My order was for a MD BBQ potluck and it was one of the best item there, it was gone within an hour or two.

This place smells like your Lola's kitchen. It has that distinct smell of a hot, metal rice cooker wafting throughout and the sharp tang of vinegar on the edges. I grew up on adobo, so I can be picky about restaurant adobo, but Kusina Filipina gave me full nostalgia when their chicken adobo hit the table. The chicken was juicy, and the sauce had the right balance of shoyu to vinegar. The lumpia were tightly wrapped and super crispy. I had to make a conscious effort to stop eating them. And the sisig had quality pork - bonus, it reheated perfectly the next day. We actually came here to see the local comedy show they host weekly. I love that they try to support community activities and the show was decent, but the reason to come back is the incredible and authentic Filipino food. The service is fine. It's like Island Time Kine service - you know, you get the check when Uncle feels like bringing it, you get water when you ask Auntie nicely - I think if you come expecting the sort of service you get at a gentrified-type restaurant, you're going to be unhappy. Long story, short: If you come for the excellent food and you're patient, you'll have a nice time. If you don't have time or patience, order takeout, be just as happy.

Kusina Filipina Better be Pinay I didn't come to play around with the "familia..." Cosa Pinay Ok ok Let's get serious... Boys to Men is on full blast... 98 degrees Backstreet Boys "Incomplete" is what I'm writing this review to... Kusina you complete me... Crispy Pata is like a gamba but I chew it...crispy outside and dipped without the dipping sauce it's INCOMPLETE... Pancit is fire... my dream is not over Kalamancit is sweet and bitter and perfection... Check in and get a free soda... Coca Cola is Classic And the Sinigang ... i mean the Sinampalukang Manok was very similar to Sinigang but with a much more vibrant broth flavor and different types of veggies... more tamarindy...so tasty a broth I cannot say I've had anywhere else...but if you like Sinagang ... you're gonna love Sinampalukang Manok ... Manok means Chicken The chicken melts in your spoon and the veggies are fresh and crispy as I throw out the life raft that is my stomach... From spoon to ocean... And the halo halo to fight off the global warming... I'm on an island in Boracay right now Fully transported And believe it Baby I'm completed "I'll be back"
