First time to try Kuya J and was immediately disappointed. Quality of the other food was good, however the serving quantity of the "Beef Pares" was not worth it's price. I ordered a Solo Meal Beef Pares while my friends ordered Sinigang na Baboy and Pinoy Style Fried Chicken.

The service was excellent as well - attentive, polite and professional. No complaints...
