There really isnt a lot of parking available, but as long as you can fit your car in a spot, youre good. There have definitely grown a lot in the many years of my absence. I remember it was an all outdoor setting and the restaurant was still halfway through the field. Now, it takes up the entire lot with a second story spaces and airconditioned rooms and private rooms. I dont ever recall having a turo turo/ karenderia setting, but its there now and its the same as the food as they serve in the menu. Like most restaurants here, they have a place to wash their hands that is outside of the restrooms which makes it super convenient and you dont have to crowd the restrooms for that. Also, you can fill your own water pitchers or glasses at their self serve water station just beside the hand washing station. They were all very attentive to us. We had over a party of 15 of all ages and everyone was pretty fed and satisfied.

As soon as you walk in you will be greeted with a display of fresh caught seafood and you choose whatever and however you want it cooked. We had grilled squid and a piece of prawn and blue marlin for sinigang. There is also a row of dishes that are ready to be served. Ordered "pagi " as well and it was delicious! The place is super clean with rich wood furnishings.

The level of service felt more appropriate for a casual turo-turo stall in a public market than a proper dining establishment -- food was served with little care or presentation, and there was no sense of professionalism in how customers were attended to. Management would do well to invest in proper customer service training if they hope to meet the standards expected of a sit-down restaurant

When I was in Iloilo, all my family members said to go to Kuya J for good halo halo... My whole…read moremind set when visiting the Philippines was that I would eat halo halo from EVERY PLACE I found it... Until I found the best one. So here we were, my dad and I, at the SM mall looking for Kuya J. We arrived mid afternoon, totally drenched in sweat from the heat. And we both sat down and immediately ordered a halo halo. These were gigantic, and looked impressive. But further mix, mixing, I found that it was quite disappointing. It was a fine shaved ice, condensed milk, and very few toppings. It literally tasted like milky ice only. Wouldn't recommend this place for halo halo. I also ordered the watermelon juice - which came as a very pale, pink colored drink. I think this was more of a watermelon shake with milk. And not just plain watermelon juice as it was advertised.

What's really great about this restaurant is that Mary Ann, the owner's wife is very hands-on. She would welcome you with a smile, find you a seat, and talk to you about what they have for the day -chicken, pork, or fish. We tried their pad thai and it was delicious! We didn't even bother to look at the meju as they serve different food on different days! How cool is that!? Overall, I would truly recommend the place to those who have the appetite for all things spicy! Truly, once of Lapu-lapu city's rare gem of a resto!
