My wontons
Connie G.

I first ate at J's kitchen when it was still at the mall. I had chicken adobo and liked it. Today was my first visit to its own restaurant and ordered chicken curry with a Taro drink recommended by my friendly server. Food and drink were very good. The curry sauce was, as advertised, both sweet and spicy. The chicken chunks were tender. The Taro drink kept giving me throat freeze, though, so finishing my meal took a bit. I walked in shortly after 11am. I was the first sit-down customer. I like the pastel purple interior and the space (I remember when this was the Beef Baron in the 1980s). My window seat was very comfortable. A radio station was playing in the background. Got to listen to a Tracy Chapman song. Crowds started coming in an hour later as I was leaving.

Fried Pork Belly and Caramelized Pork Belly

The food was great and the service was courteous and fast. Went door dinner on Friday night and had no wait for seating. The serving sizes might not quite as large as what an average American restaurant might serve, but we had several appetizers as well (highly recommend!) and combined it was perfect.

Adobo Chicken with noodles.
Marla R.

Yum! This was my first time having Filipino food and I am impressed. The restaurant is clean and neat and nicely decorated with purple accents. The owner/cook was on site and was greeting everyone and checking on us without feeling pushy. Food portions are decent and the fruit drinks are fantastic. The pancit pala ok had more of a fishy taste than expected so we won't get that one again. We were treated a nice orange sorbet after our meal. I don't know if that was a Father's Day special or a regular treat.

Halo halo

Wonderful customer service! The lady was so kind, and accommodating. The food was amazing. Had the chicken adobo. Lumpia tastes just like home. And topped it off with a halo halo! (It was really good! They do use regular milk and not evaporated milk.)

Dinner Buffet options
Reilly E.

This is a hard review to write, because as much as I want to support local small businesses, I feel like my first time dining in was an absolute disaster. They have a very large dining space with purple and white decor everywhere. It was very clean. We came in for the dinner buffet which seems to change times and dates frequently - to me this isn't something I like about a restaurant. I prefer consistency with operating hours and knowing what type of food I'm going to have if I am going to take my family out to a restaurant (especially nowadays with everything so expensive). The inconsistency of restaurants here is a huge reason why they fail, we never know when they're open and what they're offering because their menu changes so often. I understand everyone has a family and a life, but you should hire trusted employees so that you stay consistent. We showed up at 5:30 Friday night for their buffet and they had two servers for the entire dining hall. They all looked incredibly flustered and it took us 45 minutes just to get water for our kids. The food was good, not exceptional, but fine. The options were quite limited for their dinner buffet but we were happy to see pancit and the pork belly. I was pretty disappointed they didn't have adobo chicken for their buffet, but the garlic shrimp was delicious. Our children are under 3 so they should have been free, but the server charged us for each one of them in her flustered state. She did fix the mistake but couldn't refund me so she had to pay me back in cash? It was all very strange. We often order takeout from them and it seems like we will continue doing that since they can't properly staff themselves for dinner. There was an employee just standing there in the middle of the bar who could have been helping the servers at least give guests their drinks, but she just stood there and smiled at everyone instead of working or helping out. Just seemed super unorganized. I wish them the best but they do need to learn how to operate a dining room and guest experiences.

Sisig fries. To die for!
Zukari R.

The sisig frys are to die for! They even put in the extra time and effort to cut holes in the top of the takeout container so it stays crispy. I will definitely be back for more.

Passion fruit tea & lumpias

My go to spot when I'm craving Filipino food! Everything is delicious! Definitely will be back!

Shrimp and Chicken Pancit with a side of lumpia
Christina CB B.

Living in a small town there aren't many options for good eats! I was craving some pancit and lumpia and wasn't to sure where to go! I was recommended to J's Kitchen and I'm so happy that I did because it was absolutely amazing! I will be back!

I still go there every now and again, cause I like the food and that girl doesn't work there anymore. I haven't seen her for months.

I live in Tucson now and I have missed J's cooking. Her food truck has moved to the Boba tea place on fry Boulevard. So I stopped by to get some of that pork belly and some jalapeños wrapped in bacon decided to get some hibiscus tea while I was there. Y'all. This is the best! I didn't want rice so I got extra pork belly It is perfectly crisp! And these jalapeños! Huuuuge! It was so nice to see J again- she is still so kind and an EXCELLENT cook with great recipes. I'm so glad her truck was open while I was in town. I got some hibiscus tea from inside the boba place & it was fantastic. They were able to make it unsweetened and the flavor is exactly what my grandma used to make.

Chicken Adobo
Marvin L.

Filipino cuisine with a twist! This was my second try at J's had the chicken adobo, lumpia, and today fried pork on steam rice with fried egg on top. The adobo was different, not like mama's cooking, but the flavor was good hence the twist. The lumpia lack meat filling but it was good - maybe some sweet chili sauce. The pork belly and rice with egg on top was delicious. Crunchy pork bits with onions and a hint of fresh red chili. The truck is parked next to JV's boba which btw makes delicious boba tea. Breakaway from your normal lunch spot and try J's kitchen. Great Filipino cuisine and friendly service. Did I mention boba tea?

As a Filipina living where there are very few options for Filipino food, I'm so glad that a friend…read morebrought up Nick's. I was overjoyed to go and see the food options. The bbq pork skewers were awesome. I loved the flavor and the good cuts of pork. The chicken adobo was good, less vinegary than we make it, but the pancit and lumpia were just like what my family makes. We make our lumpia thicker, so I was happy to see that these also had more filler than wrappers. It was like having a piece of home. Plus, the items in the store were great and I enjoyed looking around. I went twice within one week and would go back if I lived in the area!

My last visit to Nick's Sari-Sari was about seven years ago, so I was excited to give it another…read moretry. I was hoping to find a Filipino restaurant that I could start visiting regularly, and I genuinely want to support a small local business like this. I ordered Combo #6, which came with pancit and two entrées. One of the entrées I selected was the longganisa (2 pieces), but when I got home, I realized I had been given lumpia instead. My second entrée was the chicken adobo, but unfortunately, the pieces I received were almost entirely bone with very little meat. To top it off, the pancit was quite soggy, which made the meal even more disappointing. I'm hoping I simply caught them on an off day, because this wasn't the experience I was expecting. I'd like to believe this isn't representative of the food they normally serve. I haven't decided if I'll give them another try, but I'm rooting for Sari Sari and truly hope they succeed.
