"Last week, my husband and I had the chance to dine in at Kuya J. To be honest, the serving time was quite long and I felt a bit unsatisfied with how slow the food was served, but what really stood out for me was the excellent service of Jeya, i guess or jiya i forgot na, i think she’s new kasi she’s wearing white polo or just an ojt, i forgot to ask but anyway she always had a genuine smile on her face, very approachable, and made sure that everything we needed was well taken care of. As I prepare to go back abroad, I can’t help but recall that moment. It’s rare to meet someone in customer service who leaves such a lasting impression, and Jeya is definitely one of them. Her positivity, good service, and consistent smile will always be remembered. Thank you, Jeya, for making my last dining experience at Kuya J before leaving the country something I’ll cherish. I’m gonna miss Filipino food. I’ll definitely be returning soon! Warm regards, Victoria"

"Unforgetable experience at Kuya J! The ambiance is great—very clean, cozy, and perfect for family gatherings. The service is incredibly fast, and the food is consistently delicious (their Halo-Halo and Crispy Pata are must-tries!). What truly sets them apart, though, is the staff. Everyone is so welcoming, polite, and attentive from the moment you walk in. You can really feel the warm Filipino hospitality here. Highly recommended!"
