Ordered catering for an event from here and was super happy with the experience. The owner is super nice, very warm vibes. The lumpia are yummy!

Great spot to get Filipino foods around Central Jersey Area. They also do catering which allows you to order by the tray.Vegetarian options: Laing, Fresh LumpiaParking: Located in a shopping complex, first come first serve but ample space for parking.
Grab and go style cuisine There's not much Philippine food in this area so it's nice to have an option to diversify. That said, the food is on the greasier side

Kusina is my favorite Filipino restaurant in the area! After a friend recommended me this place, I’ve been going all the time. With cafeteria style ordering, it’s super quick to order your food, and the servers are always willing to help with any questions. The food and desserts always taste great!

Honestly, the blacked out windows kinda put me off BUT the flavor of their food is worth the trip! Huge selection of packaged baked goods, classic Filipino treats, and cooked foods in the steam table. They were attentive and eager to help. Friendly and personable. The decor transports me back. I got an order of Puto Bumbong even though it's not Christmas lol and an order of Pancit Malabon. I'm finicky about my Filipino Food because my Mom is an excellent cook so I'm happy to say that their pancit comes pretty close to my Mom's. Just needs a fresh squeeze of lemon for some brightness. The Puto Bumbong was flat which I found odd. Must return to try everything else.

Absolutely delicious. This is the most delicious food I’ve ever had. I’m very pleased with the service. My girlfriend and I actually ate this food from a food truck at a flea market in Columbus New Jersey. It’s such a great introduction to this amazing food. We can’t wait to actually go to the brick and mortar restaurant.
Authentic Filipino food served hot and fresh. Lots of options, lots of delicious. The staff can walk you through it if you've never had the cuisine before. The decor was legit, and the bare wooden tables gleam. Adventurous tasters will be happy. Carnivores will be satisfied. Some veggie options. Lactose warning: the entrees are safe but lots of cheese in the desserts. Business brisk even after 1:30 on a Saturday.

This place would surely benefit from competition. I feel like because there's no competition in the area, they are getting complacent.Food is ok at best. I feel like there are better quality Filipino food options down in Mt Laurel and Blackwood NJ.One thing I don't understand and really did not feel was right was how they *microwaved* the food that they had in their turo turo selection *right in front of you* before giving it to you. Aren't these "hot" foods supposed to be kept at a certain temperature? Can't they invest in a proper food warmer for ALL their foods, even the fried ones? Oh and word of advice to Kusina Ni Inang staff - don't microwave the fried foods. Makes it taste worse and chewy, I'd rather eat it cold.Prices, also, are exorbitantly high. $6 for 2 siopao? $3 for empanada? No.Let me also bring up their attitudes - it wasn't the best. Everyone behind the counter felt like they didn't want to be there. No welcoming atmosphere. Kusina Ni Inang staff - Just smile, it won't hurt you.If you can, skip this place and head to Manila Cafe in Mt Laurel or Manila Central in Blackwood. Better food quality, better prices, and no microwaves needed.Kusina ni Inang has potential. They need someone to wake them up and push them to improve.

Attention Owner;My kids have ordered from Kusina Ni Inang many times. Today (9/15/23) is my second time ordering their food this week. Overall, the food is excellent. However, the meat in the tiny egg rolls was stale. You wouldn't notice until you opened them up and smelled the meat. I know it's bad because my family has been in the restaurant business for many years. I hope that the owner will be more cautious in keeping the food fresh.We will order again, but I will skip the egg rolls.

So many choices! Food is delicious. I had a great time with my family.
Best Filipino restaurant as far as I can remember! Their pork sinigang with gabi is phenomenal! The pork will melt in your mouth. The lechon kawali was cooked with the right crispiness but still soft inside, and it goes well with their homemade vinegar. Their tortang talong, which is my favorite comfort food, is just out of this world. I left the restaurant convinced that this could be the world's best Filipino restaurant!
