Kusina Filipina Los Angeles

I needed to get my fill of Lechon kawali before I left for my flight. Came here right as they opened. I was the only one. It was nice. I normally baboy out by getting an appetizer and dessert, but I was flying solo and I needed to make my flight. Food was very good! They have big servings. I felt awful being able to only eat half of the Lechon. I usually take it home, but there was no way I could bring it to the flight. I ate as much as I could so that I could avoid being hungry for a 5 hour flight of just goldfish crackers and ginger ale.

To whoever cooked and packed our sinigang that we ordered thru grubhub just now. We love you from the bottom of our heart. We are very sick right now and this is all we feel like we needed and wanted. This is how my mom used to make her sinigang So good! We always come back and order here for a reason. Oh and the karekare is so good. 10/10 highly recommend

Absolutely loved this place. I had my debut/18th birthday here and it was amazing. They allowed me to decorate and move furniture however I liked. They have lights and a sound system. Food served buffet-style and I paid $35/head for 50people and I had the whole restaurant the whole night 3-5hrs including set up time. Food is so bomb! I am filipino and very picky with how my food tastes and this is truly authentic filipino food. I usually dont like pancit but their pancit was one of the dishes I ate two plates of LOL. The owner and workers are so sweet and lovely. Very incredible hospitality. 10/10 I would definitely rent the restaurant to host a party again. Thank you so much Kusina Team for letting me host my debut here.

I was looking forward to dining here, but unfortunately the experience didn’t meet expectations. The meat was quite tough and not that fresh, which made it hard to enjoy the meal. I also noticed some concerns regarding food handling and overall cleanliness that should really be looked into. Additionally, something very unpleasant turned up in my drink, which was quite off-putting. I hope management takes steps to improve hygiene and food quality moving forward.

With 40 people to feed Kusina Filipina absolutely knocked it out of the park. Flavor temperature and the service was amazing. Thank you to all the team that helped on providing 40 terrific meals

This review is based on an Uber eats delivery and I’m pretty sure it would be a higher rating if I ate in the restaurant. With that said, I think this is really Filipino food overall. I ordered the fried bangus with garlic rice, egg fried tortang talong & Kare Kare. The fried bangus was delicious with and the garlic fried rice really went well with it. The fish itself was well seasoned with that sour tang that’s just the right amount. The tortang talong was about average, I’m used to the egg cooked more and a lot more browned. The Kare Kare was excellent and with the bagoong, it felt like home. Add it to the garlic fried rice and it’ll be an excellent dining experience. I’d definitely order for delivery here again and one day check out the restaurant in person.

The owners Jun & Vener have done with this restaurant; what I have been saying for a long needed to happen for Filipino Food to go mainstream. They have created a welcoming and classy environment that has to be experienced. The ambiance and the presentation of the entrees is superb. He takes the most popular dishes and adds unique touches to each one to keep the authentic flavor while creating a uniqueness you will not find elsewhere. All of the vegetables are fresh and cooked to perfection. The lumpia is crunchy with no oiliness or sogginess and the golden brown is perfect with no burnt edges. All of the meats are top grade and leaner than what you would typically find at other Filipino restaurants. There is a wide selection of beverages including beer and wine. On top of this, they have a stage for Karaoke and live stand up comedy. The restaurant can host events and they offer catering for your events. So if you have been wanting to try Filipino food you need to go here. If you are already familiar with Philippine cuisine, why aren't you here enjoying the food. This is a must go to place and for me it was worth the 40 mile drive and 1.5 hours in traffic.

I was really looking forward to having more Filipino food in the eagle rock area and we did a take out order. The food took forever to come out, over 30 minutes. There was no one else there, it didn’t seem like they were busy with online orders, and it was 3pm so it was def not gonna be busy. And even with that long I I was of a wait time, the worst part is that our chicken inasal was not fully cooked at all. It was quite expensive for the amount of food we got. Super disappointed and won’t be going back.

Delicious food! The BBQ sticks were tender; the Bulalo was flavorable with fresh vegetables and beef; Lumpiang was crispy; loved their Palabok and in all the the portions were very generous. This was truly authentic Filipina food and seemed loving cooked. The restaurant was so clean and the customer service was great. Highly recommend!

found kusina filipina on yelp and ordered a bunch of food for dinner with family nearby their service was good over the phone and their ambiance was a sit down casual dining spot in eagle rock with tv's and karaoke bar

Date of visit: February 7, 2025 Selections: Lumpia Shanghai Seafood Kare Kare Crispy Sisig 4 Scoops of Garlic Rice Calamansi Drink Cucumber Lemon Water (Complimentary) Experience: My husband ended up finding this place after craving sisig the other night. When we went in, there wasn't anyone actually eating at the location, but saw several people come in and out with to go orders during our stay at the restaurant. We ended up ordering a bunch of food that included Lumpia Shanghai, Seafood Kare Kare, Crispy Sisig, 4 Scoops of Garlic Rice, Calamansi juice, and Cucumber Lemon Water, which was their complimentary water. Let's just say we didn't finish all our food and ended up taking the leftovers to my mom and also ordering food for her since she had wanted to go to this location a long time ago too. I loved the food we had since it's comfort food that I grew up with and that there was just nonstop Backstreet Boys playing as we ate. I could literally just have had the garlic rice and kare kare sauce for my meal, but enjoyed the seafood version of the classic dish that I enjoyed. I wasn't too big of a fan of the taste of the lumpia, but did enjoy the taste of the crispy sisig. Overall, a good, nostalgic meal and would come back again to try more of their foods.

Ordered from this place through Uber Eats. Guess what came in with the sinigang? A cockroach, yes a cockroach! Didn't notice until halfway through the container.

Delicious comfort Filipino food with really welcoming service. I've had a few items on their menu like pancit bihon, lumpiang shanghai, lechon kawali, sisig bangus, dinuguan, kare kare, laing & special palabok. I've had lunch here as well as a private event. My guests loved the food and I love that you have the space to yourself. The parking is small, but there is street parking available.

Whenever I crave Filipino food, I Uber eat from this place. It's a hit or miss--more of a miss lately. I ordered the pancit. It was tasty but not your typical pancit taste. I also ordered four pork skewers. You can tell the skewers are old! It's not a fresh bath. It's not sweet, with many charred pork pieces, and a little sour. I will stop ordering from this place. It's too bad that they don't maintain high-quality food standards.

This restaurants food was delicious and the service was all right as well. My only issue/complaint is that we ordered something completely different than what they gave us. It was a little later so after our initial server took our order, she was replaced by someone else who ended up bringing our food out. We had order seafood and instead received a tripe heavy with a couple oxtail main course. We did inform our waiter and kept what we received but as much as I like a bit of tripe in things this was allot heavier dinner than we'd wanted. We'd gladly return and try the food again but hopefully next time receive the correct order

The food is made at the moment and the servings are huge. Everything is made family style so if your hungry and craving filipino food. This is the place. The employee is are really helpful and attentive to all your needs while you are there. Definitely coming back with more family

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.

The food is usually good. Last night was a huge disappointment. We ordered takeout: pork adobo, chicken adobo, lechon kawali, and Shanghai lumpia. Firstly, the plastic meal prep containers were half full for both adobo. We had to spit out bone shards with every single bite of chicken adobo. They claim to cook everything made to order. It was more like eating leftovers. There was a party at the restaurant last night that took up the entire space. Maybe we got theirs. Won't be going back again for extremely overpriced leftovers for 2.

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.

If I could give zero stars, I would. We ordered Bangsilog, Tapsilog, and 8 pork BBQ skewers, and the experience was abysmal. I got the Bangsilog for me. The bangus had a strange aftertaste and an off-putting smell. As a bangus enthusiast, I was thoroughly disappointed. It didn't look fresh at all--dry, stale, and gross. The rice was clumpy, which is baffling considering it was supposed to be fried rice. The only redeemable part of this dish was the egg. My boyfriend got the Tapsilog. The portion was minuscule, mostly filled with rice. I understand beef can be pricey, but the taste was another letdown. The meat was hard and dry, so tough that our jaw hurt from chewing. We also ordered 8 pork bbq skewers. Portions were skimpy, with certain parts burnt. The overwhelming taste of charcoal and the thin, unappealing skewers made it particularly disappointing. Overall, my partner and I could barely eat a few spoonfuls before tossing everything in the trash. I felt sick and ended up throwing up because the food was just that bad. This is from someone who grew up eating these dishes. We ordered through UberEats, so maybe the dine-in experience is different, but that doesn't excuse the poor quality we received. I will never order from this place again. Try at your own risk.

So disappointed . Too lazy to go out so I decided to order delivery @ kusinafilipina(ubereats). Tinola was so salty, we could not eat it. And the chicken, overcooked, so dry. Did they change their cook? Ordered here before , it was tasty then, perfect cooking. What happened?

I've ordered from this place multiple times before, including catering for events, and have always been satisfied with the quality. However, my recent experience was extremely disappointing. I ordered longanisa, a Filipino specialty sausage, expecting the delicious flavor I've enjoyed in the past, but instead, I was given a regular hotdog. It was such a letdown, especially since I had ordered longanisa for a reason, and it wasn't what I received. This mistake ruined the meal and left me feeling very disappointed. I expected better attention to detail, especially because I've trusted them with catering for important events in the past. Please double-check orders moving forward or let us know if you're out of something. Thank you. EDIT: changed to 5 stars because I do love the food here. I was told it's LONGGANISA HAMONADO and not the ones I'm used to, although I hope you can actually note that in the description or even title of the dish.

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"

Brought a friend here on a late Sunday after ok because he was craving lumpia. But I figured, why stop at lumpia? Let's eat a whole ass meal, yeah? Portions were great, and we were tempted to get more food when we initially placed our order, but that would've definitely been overkill. We had more than enough to eat AND had baon (leftovers) to take home. Soda - Free with Yelp check-in. Who doesn't love free soda? However, it's worth noting that it will be a canned soda, not from the fountain, so the selection is smaller. Lumpia Shanghai - Piping hot and oh so good. Definitely hit the spot. I'd mindless pop these into my mouth hole like chips if there was more of them. Fresh Lumpia - I haven't had fresh lumpia in a while, and I was excited to have my friend try it, but it didn't quite hit the spot like the lumpia shanghai did for either of us. Crispy Sisig - I love sisig and I this one didn't disappoint. After our kind server reminded us to not touch the skillet, I nearly burned my fingers trying to pick up the lemon to squeeze on top. Pancit Bihon - Big portion, bigger undertaking between two diners.

Me and my sister's first time there. We yelped "bulalo soup" and yelp sent us here. They do have an extensive menu (than Max of Manila). My sister decided to get the Bangsilog with a side of 2 pieces of langonisa. She felt the fish was great but the garlic fried rice was nothing special. The langonisa didn't taste like langonisa. It had like a chewy hotdog vibe. Not your traditional sweet one. I ordered Lumpia Shanghai as an appetizer for both of us, which we both enjoyed. I ordered Pinakbet and Kare Kare with steamed rice. When it came I was surprised of 2 things 1) Very large portions 2) Filled with Vegetables and large chunks of meat Taste wise they both were great. Of course we took the leftovers home! We finished up with halo halo (forgot to take a picture) Oh, we still ordered the Bulalo Soup, but to go. We wanted coffee but we were told that the owners didn't get to order coffee for after the July 4th holiday. We'll be back to check out the rest of the menu. Staff was great and very friendly. I guess they have karaoke on certain nights, because they have a pretty decent size stage. Edit: Sorry for The delay regarding the Bulalo soup review. The soup was great and filled with melt in your mouth bone marrow!

Although the staff was attentive, very friendly and service was fast and efficient we were somewhat disappointed with the food. It was kind of 'just okay'. We ordered Lumpiang Shanghai, Poncit Bihon, garlic Rice & Chicken Adobo. The Lumpia was good but we found everything else quite bland (for our taste anyway). Felt everything lacked more vinegar, garlic & soy sauce. Because of the kindness & friendliness of the staff we all agree we should give them a second chance, maybe it was just a bad day.

Great little Filipino spot for the traditional foods of the Philippines. Our servers were very attentive and friendly, the food had great flavor and the presentation was real nice. Definitely will come back to try other dishes!

This is a good place to eat Filipino food if you are around this place in Eagle Rock. At times there are concerts or bands that play in this place. It seats 80 people. Small but cozy and clean. Food is delicious. We ordered Miki Bihon, Fried Milk Fish, Crispy Pata, Chopsuey, Calamari, Sisig. Servings and Prices are good. They do To Go food too, so you can order online. Staffs and the owner, Jun, is very nice and very friendly. I give this a 10 !

Good food and reasonable prices. Courteous service. Their crispy sisig is the bomb as well as their pancit bihon.

Hits the spot! Best for takeout. Huge portions and very flavorful. Fast service, as well.

I got the beef Kare Kare, which I'm pretty sure it was a just a peanut butter soup with the worst cuts of beef (slimy fat) and a whole stalk of bok choy thown into a bowl. That, plus lumpiang, a side of rice and one of their noodle entrées ended up being over $70. It was all greasy, the bathroom sink was clogged and dirty with no toilet paper, they never gave us a receipt, and they added gratuity without our permission. This was more like a Filipino inspired panda express with more grease. I'd rather go to Panda Express.

I was really looking forward to having more Filipino food in the eagle rock area and we did a take out order. The food took forever to come out, over 30 minutes. There was no one else there, it didn't seem like they were busy with online orders, and it was 3pm so it was def not gonna be busy. And even with that long of a wait time, the worst part is that our chicken inasal was not fully cooked at all. It was quite expensive for the amount of food we got. Super disappointed and won't be going back.

one of the best filipino restaurants i've been too. the lechon kawali and sinigang was phenomenal. i definitely will be back soon

I didn't get to take pics of all the food we ate but everything was delicious and tasted homemade. The portions were HUGE. The food tasted clean and the service was super quick. The staff were all friendly and my whole family especially my grandma felt loved and taken care of in this place. The owner was extremely nice even to his staff. He, himself was serving and accomodating us. If you are visitinf LA or live i LA, give this place a visit, you won't be disappointed.

During the pandemic, I ordered take out multiple times and the food is consistently good. The portions are large, plenty to feed a family. I've never actually eaten at the restaurant as I've gotten in the habit of ordering takeout versus eating at the restaurant. I do recommend their food if you're looking for authentic Filipino comfort food.

The prices are exorbitant, and the food is just adequate. The prices do not meet the food quality. The lumpia was soft, and the vegetable lumpia was a soggy mess. I went to pick up the food, but the order was wrong ($60+ for six regular and three vegetable lumpia!), and I had to wait twenty minutes for them to correct it. The manager was kind, but the service attendant was lost for solutions.

We decided to spend Friday evening in this place, it was great!!!! Guys, you are the best!!! The atmosphere today is amazing and the food is delicious. The company of people is amazing. I wish everyone to visit this establishment and enjoy this wonderful atmosphere.

The Miki Bihon Guisado was a hit at the company potluck! I couldn't order a tray through doordash so I ordered 3 portions. It was all gone by the end of the luncheon. I would totally order it again! It was delicious and sauced perfectly!

This place is like walking into a relative's home. Everyone is so welcoming and food was delicious. My dad and I had the pinakbet and shrimp sinigang. Will definitely be back to try the other dishes.

This is my first time writing a review of a Filipino restaurant. OMG, their food is super delicious and authentic, lots of items to choose from. prices are very affordable and the server is very hospitable. can't wait to go back to this place. Even though I live in Ventura county I will still find time to visit this place and dine with my friend. Thank you Kusina Filipina

Went back because we heard the food improved, which it somewhat did. However, service is not attentive and even got our order wrong. They didn't ask how we wanted our eggs, which they used to. The fried eggs came out fully cooked and dry. Most infuriating was there is that their new system only allows you to choose from 18% gratuity or more - custom tip is not even an option! F'ing sheisty! It's no wonder they don't care about delivering decent service. More than ever, I now see why people prefer Max's even If the food isn't that much better and it's more expensive. We won't be back to Kusina.

Ordered a full tray of Pancit Bihon 30 minutes before an event and they were able to accommodate me. This is my favorite Filipino restaurant. Everything they make is so delicious. Just look at this beautiful tray. Thank you so much Kusina Filipina!!! See you very soon.

I ordered breakfast longsilog and tapsilog. We can't even eat it cause it was too hard, dry, and chewy. Even the longganisa you can't eat it cause it's over cooked. Even the eggs are over cooked. What a waste of money. The lady who work there is very rude.

This restaurant is beyond what I expected. I had a craving for Chicharon Bulaklak which came out fresh and criapy and I ordered Lomi soup and when I tell you its the tastiest lomi ever. I did not even need any salt or pepper or fish sauce it was seasoned to perfection. Also ordered fresh lumpia to go and that also didn't disappoint. To top it off my server was so friendly and funny just made the experience even better. Shout out to the cook. Will definitely recommend and will come back.

This place hardly deserves 2 stars - food is overpriced and service is subpar. Employees were having a casual conversation instead of seating us - mind you we were the only customers there nobody else. Finally we get seated and we look at the menu, the prices were fine - just more than the usual Filipino restaurant. The expectation for prices like theirs would be really good service. Food was good but service was very subpar. Attempted ordering DoorDash with this place as well and the experience wasn't good either. Spent $90+ and order was cancelled because something wasn't available. They couldn't offer another solution? Offer an alternative item maybe? We were basically left in the wind with either a Refund that'll take 3-5 business days or a refund to DoorDash credits. These situations could've been handled so differently. Very unfortunate experience sadly. 2 stars because food was good - kitchen needs a raise. Edit: Something to note, we received the cancellation notification 1 hour after order submission.

This place is amazing and gives you the Filipino family experience when you dine here. They got all the good dishes and more! Good attentive service and relaxed vibes at this family style restaurant. Highly recommended are the lechon, lomi, lumpia, pancit canton, and the bagoong fried rice. Sarrap!

I called them about the food that we bought in Uber Eat to tell them bout my order,then someone answered the phone and tell them bout my orders..i ask the lady bout it and gimme me big time attitude and kinda upset bout the food that i got..i asked her who is it? She said she a owner,im waiting for her to apologize bout the food that i order is over cooked and burnt but instead of that it feels like it's my fault bout to tell them bout my food that we order..we always order to that place but after this thing happened never no more..by the way i went there to talk to that lady owner and she said the line cut off but i know is not..not to try to get some refund or whatsoever,i suppose to tell them so in the future is not gonna happen again but to her is different..they tried to tell me to do another one for us but i said it's ok and asked me if we still gonna order to them i said never no more...she need to be humble if there talking to the customers but she rude and arrogant,hope she change her attitude coz they gonna lose most of there customer..

Love Filipino breakfast and this place did not disappoint. Fresh tomato and cucumbers, so flavorful and filling!

Got food to go. Bangus sisig: well flavored and with a little bit of heat. Squeeze that lime. Laing: taro leaves in coconut milk with shrimp and pork. Maybe a bit too salty for me. Barely any heat. The food was good and enough for 3 people to share without feeling overly full. Parking is a bit tight. Not many spots for the establishments there.

The garlic rice was old and chopsuey it's not traditional it's not worth the cost except halo halo was very good

Craving Filipino food, I decided to try out KFLA. Chicken adobo with garlic rice. It was pricey but I didn't mind, I was craving chicken adobo!Waaaaaayyyyyyyy tooooooooo sallllltyyyyyyyyy! It was horrible. Even the garlic rice was salty. I should have went with steam white rice which would have balanced out the super ultra salty chicken adobo. Very disappointing, especially having to pay over 23 bucks. No option for custom tip, which was the saltiest part of KFLA. Service was nice, got a free soda with check in, but I definitely won't be coming back to KFLA. Anyone know a good quality Filipino restaurant pls let me know!!!!

Recommend going with a big group or get ready to have leftovers! Yummy homestyle Filipino food

Came here today around 10:30am with a Filipino family (I'm not Filipino but know what I like food wise ). I found parking in the limited parking in front of the restaurant and entered the restaurant. Instantly there was a strong unappealing odor which I was told could be fish sauce. It kinda smelt like wet dog or an equally unappealing smell. Anyways, after a few minutes I didn't notice it and it didn't bother me luckily. Cold Cucumber laced Water was very refreshing. My order included the Vegetable Lumpia (egg rolls), Adobo Fried Rice, Chicken BBQ Skewers with orders of Kare Kare and Lomi? for everyone else. Everything arrived relatively quickly, although there was only one set of customers before us. Speaking for my order, the Vegetable Lumpia were packing thick and tasted pretty good. The wrapper was really solid. The Adobo Rice was just ok - clumpy in parts so I may not order that in a future visit. I liked the BBQ Chicken Skewers. The marinade was rich. All accounts on the other items were that they tasted as they should. Presentation was good for all dishes and the portions are very generous!

Celebrated my Dad's birthday and requested for buffet style for small party. Vener was my contact person and she is very accommodating and friendly. She reserved some tables for a private party even though it's open to the public who want eat for lunch as well on a rainy day. Everyone loved the food and great selections. Special Thanks to Vener & Jun for catering my Dad's special day. They also have shows on weeknights and weekends. Hubby & I will check it out on a date night....

Good Service and Good Food! I love BBQ, Pinausukan Fish, Crispy Pata, Chicken and Gulaman. Kuya Lito, Ethel and Kuya from who always pick up the phone for pick up orders are the best. 10 mins 15 mins wait time for togo or pickup order. The best!

Maybe we ordered from this place at a time that they were having an off day, or it just hits different if you eat at the restaurant. The tocino looked too artificially red, and there's a taste in its sweetness I am not used to. Tocino is pretty much bacon (in Hispanic cultures) and caramelized/cured pork belly for us Filipinos. There was just a different and odd taste above the sweetness that plain sugar on pork typically has. It could just be a regional recipe, and I'm just not familiar with it. The chicken inasal needed more seasoning. It was kind of bland. I'd even hesitate to say the taste passes for your run-of-the-mill lechon manok. Three stars because it was average overall, again, maybe only on this particular day we ordered. Willing to try it again, but I'd probably dine in. Might just hit different.
