KUYA J MENU and Delivery (Delicious Filipino Classics)
It’s not easy to find a restaurant that can consistently serve delicious, reasonably priced takes on Filipino classics. Because these dishes are so familiar and comforting to our palate, diners can quickly tell if corners are cut, or ingredients are not of good quality. Kuya J’s determination to serve consistently high-quality traditional favorites, in turn, is precisely why customers continue to flock to its branches for a taste of their crispy pata and halo-halo.
First known by the name “Ang Kan-anan ni Kuya J”, the founding Kuya J’s branch opened in January 2013 in Escario, Cebu. The humble eatery focused on preparing tasty takes on home-cooked favorites, and word of mouth amongst Cebuano foodies quickly made Kuya J’s a success. While the original mysterious “Jay” behind the food’s success has since migrated and sold the business toiKitchen Inc., the company continued the mission to prepare delicious Filipino food.
Today, there are over a hundred Kuya J branches all over the country, and it’s one of the fastest-growing casual restaurant chains in the Philippines!

Kuja J Menu
Dining at Kuya J’s for the first time? Start your culinary journey with their bestselling appetizer, the cheesy and buttery Grilled Scallops. The Chorizo Dinamitas are another popular starter, filled with Cebu chorizo and creamy cheese.
When selecting mains, it’s a must to get the Kuya J’s Crispy Pata with its crunchy deep-fried skin. Loyal Kuya J’s fans also insist that newcomers try the Sizzling Sisig With Egg, with plenty of garlic rice heaped on the side. Complement this sinful dish with a serving of Kuya J’s Bulalo on the side – the hearty broth and tender beef will warm you right up! For something a little richer, Kuya J’s Kare Kare will stick right to your ribs with the creamy and savory peanut sauce that hits all the right flavor notes.
