Kuya J’s Restaurant in Makati: Filipino Food that Will Never Go out of Style
With over 100 branches in the Philippines, Kuya J’s Restaurant is undoubtedly well-loved by everyone with its gastronomic Filipino specialties. It started as a small eatery in Cebu as Ang Kan-anan ni Kuya J, which eventually became one of the fastest-growing restaurants in the country.
While Kuya J is not the same as the simple eatery it was in Cebu, they retained the concept of a Filipino-favorites restaurant. Every Kuya J’s restaurant is even designed to welcome families and big groups with their tables and comfortable couches.
Since opening in Cebu back in 2012, Kuya J has since become popular for serving delicious local favorites such as Crispy Pata, Kare-Kare, Pinakbet, Sisig, and Lechon Kawali—perfect for celebrations with your loved ones.

The Kuya J Crispy Pata, for instance, is known as Kuya J’s specialty. The golden and crispy pork leg is perfectly-cooked, usually served with homemade soy and vinegar dip to make it more flavorful.
