Kuya's Asian Cuisine

Authentic Filipino home cooking with dishes like crispy sisig and savory binagoongan.

Kuya's Asian Cuisine offers the kind of Filipino menu that rewards bringing a few people and sharing. At its San Mateo Avenue restaurant in San Bruno, chicken adobo, pork sisig, kare-kare, and crispy pata provide several very different centerpieces. We like that range, from vinegar-and-garlic flavors to peanut sauce and crisp pork preparations. Lumpia makes an easy beginning, while palabok and pancit-style noodles help build a fuller spread. Soups include pork sinigang and beef bulalo, and seafood choices range from milkfish to prawns cooked with coconut milk and crab paste. The silog section pairs garlic rice and fried eggs with choices such as tocino, tapa, or boneless bangus. Calamansi juice, halo-halo, and leche flan add familiar Filipino finishing touches. Kuya's appeal is the breadth of its home-style cooking, with enough dishes to make each San Bruno visit a different meal.
