Kusina Filipina Cerritos: Reviews & Ratings
First time visiting this part of Ca and friends took us here. Wife is Filipino and said this is by far the best Filipino food she has ever ordered in a restaurant. We ordered the fried platter and my wife was in heaven. We all ate to much lol. I'm not a big fan of some of the food but the clean plate picture posted was mine:). Great place. Definitely on our go to list when we come back this side.
First time here. Ordered to go. Food seemed fresh. We only ordered 3 items but 2x for each. Chicken BBQ: 10 out of 10. Good flavor. Chicken was tender. Pancit Canton: 8 out of 10. Good flavor. Not enough for the price. Overall taste was good. Would order again. Chicken Adobo: 6 out of 10. Didn’t have enough flavor. Was just mild overall. Not enough chicken. So was just ok. Prices: not cheap not expensive. But the portions are small. Flavor was overall good. But they could punch it up a bit on all the dishes we had.
Whoa where do I start!!! The food here was all perfect!! I love Filipino food but this was the best I’ve ever had.. EVER! although I have never been to PI.. but as the wife of a Filipina, I have experience in Filipino food and can tell what’s good and what isn’t. We ordered 4 scoops of rice, Lechon Kawali, dinakdakan, sinigang nan bangus and fresh lumpia. The fresh lumpia was so good! It was delicious and the flavors were perfect! Not too over powering or too sweet, it was just right! The lechon kawali was tender and fried to perfection! The pieces weren’t too hard but still gave that perfect satisfying crunch. The dinakdakan had so much flavor and veggies without over doing it and the dish was just perfect! The rice was cooked perfect and the sinigang had amazing flavor, not too strong but just right! And when you take that first sip, you feel that weight lifted off your shoulders because it reminds you of a simpler time.. everything was amazing! Delicious and comforting!
Tops in entertainment and Philippine cuisine! One of few Filipino restaurant that consistently deliver good quality food with options to cater individual preference as most dishes are offered in beef, pork, chicken and/or seafood/shrimp variation. Servers are most friendly and the crowd is always lively. Do come early as the place fills quickly with some tables reserved!
When I travel to LA and dine out, I always go for Chinese or Korean as there are a plethora of these types of restaurants. But this time I wanted to try a different type of Asian food, so my friend suggested Filipino. I honestly didn't know what to expect. The waiter made some recommendations and OMG!!! I had Lumpia, which are spring rolls filled with meat. Crispy pata, which is pork with a super crunchy skin. BBQ pork skewers and Sisig, which is also pork served on a hot skillet with a flavour I cannot describe. All served with a side of rice. For dessert, it was banana wrapped in spring roll wrapper, drizzled with toffee/caramel with a scoop of Ube ice cream. The biggest surprise was a dessert called Halo Halo, which is shredded ice mixed with sweet fillings (not sure what they are but tasted goo) topped with another scoop of Ube ice cream and creme brulé and drizzled with evaporated milk. The only thing that wasn't eaten was the lettuce leaf that was used as a garnish so it's evident that my family and I enjoyed the food. I will certainly return.
My Turkish boss has been exposing me to new cuisines. This was my first time trying filipino food. I am latina so I wasn’t expecting a huge difference, but I can taste the spices difference. Everything was served searing hot & full hearty portions. Everything was definitely delicious. We had multiple dishes between four of us - some I didnt get pictures if. I do remember trying the grilled octopus, which was my least fav dish. It was very charred which my coworker told me is the filipino way, but it was to hard to chew for me. I could get past the charred but maybe if it was cut into smaller pieces? Instead of one whole tentacle. My favorite dish was the dessert. I’ve never tasted anything like that. The aloe cubes & kidney beans surprised me. It was delicious. Overall recommend.
Very good food! We tried shrimp noodles, grilled squid, and beef soup. All three items were made with fresh ingredients and had an authentic flavor. The server was very nice and provided good service. We will definetly be coming a second and third time!
The food is incredible, taste just like how my auntie and my lola makes it. The service is awesome, they have a good crew. The restaurant looks splendid, and the do live music. Love it here.
