Pulled up to Kujo Eats to show love to a Filipino spot serving up hot, authentic plates With so many options, I had to go with: Kalbi Ribs Chicken Adobo Garlic Fried Rice The Kalbi ribs were solid... personally I like mine a little more well-done, but still packed with flavor The chicken adobo? Spot on. Tender, savory, and hit all the right notes Garlic rice tied everything together perfectly Next time, I'm diving into: Sisig Crispy Pork Belly Lechon ...and maybe go full experience with a Kamayan feast (banana leaves + hands-on eating... real deal) Tip for thought: All the Filipino Uncles play Chess during the day and Singers come out to sing on their Karoke Machine If you're in the area, this spot is DEFINITELY worth checking out Pull up, support local, and come hungry One last thing, if you know any singers that love to compete. There's a singing competition April 24, 2026 from 8pm - Midnight. See flyer for more info! read more

Food: Picked up some food for my parents and I and it was delicious! Service: I had issues finding the location and I think it was due to Apple Maps messing up. I eventually found it and when I got there, I met KuJo and he was SUPER nice and down to earth. That alone won me over as a future repeat customer. Ambiance: Gave me that old school feeling of nostalgia as I grew up in the area and it brought back memories even though this is a new establishment. Overall, this is a must try and if you have a chance to meet KuJo, be sure to say hello. Hes a super friendly guy!!! read more

Kujo Eats delivers flavor on another level From lechon kawali to sisig, mongo beans, and sinigang--every bite had me saying "Kujo got me FILI-PINO for more." So authentic, so comforting, so MASARAP @kujoeats also love how they have brunch buffet too, grilled street foods, Kamayan, and karaoke every night... they updated there indoors so it looks like they have a lot of room for events :) Love Vionna and Joel!!! Of course the halo halo too!! read more

My favorite spot for Filipino food. Everything is hot and fresh and portion sizes are huge. The only meat option you can select that isn't massive is a skewer, but theyre worth it. They smoke them directly outside and they're packed with flavor. Today I ordered a K2 plate with half rice and. Half pancit, lechon, and a bbq pork skewer. Every plate also comes with a cup of their sinigang soup (which you may need to remind them to give you). Ambiance could use improvement but this place is authentic and not trying to be anything boujie. Service is nothing to be excited about. Sometimes you have to ask specifically for the sauces or dips that come with items. Prices may seem steep but when you take the portion sizes into account, it's fair. read more

We came here for dessert, but I really want to try their plates now that I've been inside and looked at their menu. They are located in a plaza type spot that's probably seen better days, BUT that means it's a hole in the wall type spot, right? We go in and there is a table full of aunties and uncles who are all just vibing and have all ordered halo-halo, which means you know it's good. I got a scoop of pandan ice cream for $2.16, and I was pleasantly surprised at how much ice cream I got! The ice cream was delicious, creamy, with bits of like jelly mixed in, and not too heavy. I would definitely go back if possible. Also, the lady who was running the dessert section of the restaurant was really efficient at getting orders out. I wanna go back and try the other ice cream flavors now. read more

Wanted to try this spot after watching a TikTok and man it was soo delicious! The owner attended us and he was super nice, really down to earth! The ambience felt very family like and friendly! We got a plate with three entrees including fired rice, pancit, lechon, sigsig, pork adobo, and a chicken bbq skewer, as well as a halo halo with ube ice cream. Everything tasted homemade and was hot! My favorite was the pansit! We will definitely be coming again and highly recommend others to give it a try! read more

Kujo Eats is serving a different variety of Filipino food on my second visit. AMBIANCE No frills SERVICE Pickup order - staff knew the drill. FOOD 4.5/5 Pork Menudo with Rice: thick, chunky, savory and comforting with a rich seasoning and saucy tomato base. There were also some Vienna sausages alongside the pork chunks and diced potato's, carrots, and peppers. This dish pairs well w white rice. 4/5 Munggo Guisado (mung bean stew): flavorfully pungent, with an earthy nutty mung bean mush that's quite filling ?/5 Sinigang soup broth: a savory and very sour tamarind broth with some veggies and pork. I didn't use this quite right, and will try to rotate between this dish as a palate cleanser or with bites of rice. read more

This was my first time trying Kujo Eats and it was average Filipino food. We came around 11AM and ended up getting the 2 entree with garlic rice. We chose longanisa and lechon kalawi for the entrees. We were able to get a small scoop of garlic rice until they ran out and filled our plate with regular white rice. We also got fresh bbq skewers. Our plate came with a complimentary cup of sinigang which was nice. The bbq skewers were our favorite, they were big, juicy and delicious and would definitely get again! The rest of the food was decent and a bit cold and didn't seem fresh. Also, I love my sinigang sour but this was REAL sour lol. Service was good and the cashier was very friendly and helpful. It's very chill inside but also not too many tables. read more

If you were in search of Filipino Hawaiian food you have found your place. Kujo Eats offers a great variety of yummy food. I also ordered the Halo Halo and took it home.

My boyfriend and I like eating here since they have a lot of variety of Filipino foods. Today I give KUJO EATS four our of five stars since the cashier who was an old lady didn't know how to accept cash payments along with a debit card. I'm sorry to say but if you're going to have a business you need to properly train your employees how to operate a cashier register before they operate the cash register alone. Please understand how frustrating that would be if you were the customer.. Make sure to add your phone number at the register so you can earn points for every purchase towards either small halo-halo or a scoop of their Magnolia Ice Cream. read more

Came here around lunch time and it wasn't too busy. They were running low on Lechon kawali though and they had no sisig. We ordered the menudo, Lechon kawali, tocino, longanisa and pancit. The Lechon kawali was nice because the skin was still crunchy but it was cold so that kind of made the meat feel kinda weird. The tocino and longanisa were the best. Everything else was whatever. Pancit was bland. All of our food was cold though. Not sure why the food was served cold especially during lunch time. Maybe they don't have heating trays or heating lamps? Not sure. The garlic rice we got was straight up cold and a little hard. read more

Ordered through the "Too Good To Go" app just to try something new and we are sooooo happy we did. Portions are insanely large for what we paid for, and special shout out to their sinigang. Loved the tangy sourness of this soup on top of the delish boxes they packed for us. Wish I knew the names of the dishes but my favorites were everything in the left box but you can't go wrong!! Definitely looking to come back to try more and learn all the names of what I am eating. SO GOOD. read more

Finally returned to try the food!! Its been over a year since having Halo Halo here. Three of us came for lunch and the place was packed!! The ambiance is simple table and chairs w a big screen tv playing Filipino Artists! Order at the steam table/counter and pick your food. Friendly service and good Filipino food!! The fried fish was dry but had flavor. The longonesa was flavorful and tender! The beef steak was delicious!! In a flavorful sauce and the beef fell apart. The pork adobo was in a great abobo sauce! The pancit was simple but seasoned well! I encourage patronizing local family run businesses/restaurants, and I highly Recommend trying Kujo Eats for Filipino food and desert. Corn Cheese Ice Cream is a must try!!! YES it has corn and cheese. But Filipinos love corn cheese! Give it a try! read more

GUT BUSTING (4 stars) I felt like I left a Filipino Party and a Tita packed you way too much left over that could last you DAYS. TGTG Surprise bag for $6.99 was very much with the gut busting. I didn't know what to expect except on TGTG app it received a high rating and high ratings on that app means lots of food. What I was surprised was to see a Filipino restaurant participate in that program - so I had to see what it was about and show support. They usually have about 5-6 Surprise Bags available on TGTG daily and on weekends they do sell out fast. Pickup time was between 7-730. Upon arrival the bags were laid out on the table and after showing them the app order I was told to select one of the bags. What I was told the most part each bag had the same things BUT some slightly differed. When u got home and opened my surprise bag I sure was surprised! (2) Suman (1) Cup of Pork Sinigang Chicken Pansit Chicken Adobo Chicken Curry (Pinoy-style) Overall the meal was tasty! This $6.99 is possibly the best budget meal to feed 2-3 people. Until the next Surprise bag! read more

My group was deciding on where to grab dinner, and one of the friends, Faith D., suggested coming here for a kamayan feast as many of us have never had nor heard of it before aside from the one who suggested it, me and Srey Y. The friend who suggested it said this restaurant does it best! It's located at the end of the Nordan Plaza next to a cafe and a thrift store on E 8th St in National City. There's a huge open parking lot with ample stalls. Upon entering the lot, my boyfriend and I were kind of confused if we were in the correct area because the area seemed dead which made sense as all the other places were closed and there were only two food joints at the corner of the plaza. Prior to coming, Faith made a reservation through their online form where she had to fill out the things we would like to have at our kamayan feast. The base pay is $49.95 per adult that included steamed rice, pansit, pork lumpiang shanghai, 2 seasonal fruits, 2 seasonal vegetables, tomato/onion salsa, sauces, and four selections of menu item. Additional items were $5 more per person. There were menu item upgrades as well. We had a total of five items with one being an upgrade item: pork kare kare, fried tilapia, BBQ chicken skewers, pork longanisa, and additional lechon kawali. Upon arrival, the workers were laying everything on banana leaves, and we had to eat with our hands, which was the traditional way. The feast was beautifully laid out (peep at pics)! We couldn't wait to feast! And everything was delicious! We all kept eating as much as we could with happy, content faces. My personal favorites were the lumpia, BBQ chicken skewers, and pork longanisa. The workers also provided a variety of sauces, some upon request, to use to dip our foods. After our kamayan dinner, we all decided to get a halo-halo as well as some of the group have never had it before. We could have added it to our kamayan feast for another $5 per person, but we realized it would be way too much food. My boyfriend and I shared a mini which was $5, the same price as if we were to add on. A huge plus was the availability of singing karaoke! The owner, Joel Soriano, was so kind to us and allowed us to sing karaoke while we waited for our feast to be prepared and after we finished. Probably because there wasn't anyone else in the restaurant when we went to annoy, haha! But thanks to Joel for the amazing service! Overall, a great kamayan experience for those who have never had it before! The food and service here was amazing and definitely worth the price per person as we all had leftovers to take home. read more

I've been here multiple times throughout the years and it's always a great experience. From getting Halo-Halos (love the option to add ice cream) to getting some food combos to dine in (the pompano is so good), to placing orders for lumpia trays, they're really wonderful. Service is always solid and sweet, and there's plenty of seating inside. I did notice they had a karaoke lounge to the side which was a cool especially with the sofas, so maybe one day. Thanks! read more

Went there on Saturday around 1pm and the older man was so nice and pleasant. He was working as fast as he could. Then the young lady in the back had to help him and she was so rude to the customers, rushing and getting attitude when customers couldn't speak as quickly as she wanted , even yelling "HEEELLLLOOOO!" To call the next customer. Maybe there should be a different line for halo halo? read more

Amazing food, excellent service, and a wonderful ambiance. The prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Lots of food choices and reasonable prices for 2side dishes ( and your choice of pansit or rice and comes with tasty sinigang soup). Food servers very nice, friendly and efficient. The place is spacious for for groups and gatherings. We enjoyed the eggplant torta, diniguan, pansit, lechon kiwale. Very much comfort food! And the banana turon dessert was fantastic- perfect crunch & sweetness. read more

Exceeded expectations!! We came across Kujo Eats via social media and the table full of food was so beautiful we had to come see for ourselves. We were met with the most delicious aromas coming from the restaurant and though it's unassuming, it will knock your socks off. The staff and owners were extremely kind and helpful and created a table full of amazing food. We followed their recommendations for which items to get and they didn't lead us astray. Every dish was amazing and the portions were so generous! We couldn't choose a favorite because they were all SO good. Plus, the tradition of eating together as a group with only our hands was a unique and wonderful experience. Would 100% do this again. TL;DR --a must try. The Kamayan Feast experience is a must and worth every single penny. read more

Paid by card. Kujo Eats is located on the corner in a plaza and offers a lot of plaza parking. I went here with a group of 10 on a Sunday afternoon, and it was busy. There were many people eating inside and a line of 6 people in front of us. The line went pretty quickly. (One side is for halo halo and ice cream, and the other side is for food). My party and I went for halo halo. They also have a small karaoke machine here next to the ice creams. We ordered the halo halo with ice cream and it was SOOOO good! A lot of ingredients inside and the cup was large. I would definitely recommend this place and will go back again soon. read more

My friend Carolyn and I went over the weekend and we had such a great experience. We came around 11 am, so there was some breakfast options like longaniza and tortang talong (eggplant that's been friend with egg), my eyes were definitely larger than my stomach because we both ordered a three item combo. I chose white rice and for my mains I had lechon, sisig and tortang talong, we did get complimentary singang broth (sabaw). The service was so friendly and they are very gracious with their portions, they packed the container with so much sisig and my plate with lechon! First, the sinigang, was super flavorful and was sour and bright, it was perfect! The sisig, oh my god, was probably one of the better ones I've had in a really long time, you can taste every thing in it, sometimes when you get sisig elsewhere the flavors muddle together but theirs was just really good. My only issue was that the lechon was a little cold and wished it was a bit more tender but it was served with Manong Thomas so I was happy. I did eat it later and my friend Carolyn actually made sisig with it when she got home. We weren't finished yet, we ended up getting MINI halo-halo. I like that they had that as an option because the large would have been too big. The mini halo halo was perfect, I got it with ube ice cream with a scoop of mais queso ice cream on the side. Overall had a really great experience, the food was delicious, the team here is super friendly and it really felt like you were eating a family friends house. I cannot wait to come back! read more

I never knew this place was located in this plaza close to my place. I believe they're new and I've been wanting to try them out due to seeing others post on social media. I got the 2 combo plate for only $18 what a steal! I did half and half of white rice and pancit. I ordered pork adobo and sisig along with it and chose sinigang for my soup. I enjoyed all the items it was really delicious especially the adobo! The sinigang was a bit too sour though like too much tamarind powder was accidentally added lol but overall I want to come back again for their kamayan feast! read more

I came here for Halo-Halo during lunch hours with my friend. I grew up in this area and it was called Erlinda's/ Conching's before. Now there is a new owner and his name is Joel! He actually served me and my friend our Halo-Halo. He was so kind and invited us to come back and try the new improved food of his restaurant. I even asked for 2 ice cream flavors and he was able to offer it to us. I'm always a sucker for Filipino food so I think I will definitely be coming back! The inside is a little outdated, but I think the owner is definitely trying to update it. He added a big flat screen tv in the dining area. Hoping to see more changes come to this restaurant! read more

This place deserves 5 stars! The owner and workers were so friendly and welcoming. Honestly felt like I walked into their home and was invited for a meal. We had the Kamayan feast and had to book in advance and make a 50% down pay. We had lechon, fried fish, lumpia, sausage and more. The best part is they brought a bunch of sauces for us to try and I was in heaven. My Filipino friend said that this is the place they would go to for authentic food. Highly recommend! read more

Was very disappointed with their entrees. Had the chicken adobo, monggo and shrimp with squash. Chicken adobo was so salty, while the monggo as well as the shrimp with squash had absolutely no flavor. The food was so inedible I took a couple of more bites and could not eat the rest of it that I threw it away. What a waste. I've been to several turo turos and even cook filipino food and have never had anything taste this bad. Hopefully it was an off day. Employees were nice and welcoming. read more

Food is outstanding you will return for more and the staff super friendly and inviting Amazong keep this one on you're list.

Happy AAPI Heritage month! For lunch I went to Kujo Eats aka Erlinda's aka Conching's. As usual they had a variety of Filipino food and dessert options. I had the 3 item combo tortang talong, daing na bangus, and lechon kawali with white rice and a side of ginataang gulay. There is plenty of parking in the lot and a big seating area. I recommend eating at the restaurant for the freshest bite but the flavor will be just as good when taken home to-go. The daing is usually crispy but got soggy on the ride home. The lechon stayed crunchy after 1 hour which was unexpected and it also came with mang tomas sauce on the side. The temperature of the food was still warm when I got home ~20 minutes after purchase. This paradise hills staple will always be a 10/10 in my heart Please stop by to support this Filipino owned small business! read more
