Kuya J Restaurant — Restaurant in Legazpi

We celebrated Father's Day dinner there tonight. It was our first time eating there. We ordered the Salo salo set consisting of the kare-kare, lechon kawali, pansit canton, lumpiang prito, rice platter, leche flan, and a pitcher of iced tea. We also added an order of sinigang na bangus and rice platter. It was posted that the set meal was 4-6 persons, but the actual serving was for 3 pax only. We tried to change the squid sisig to chicken sisig (chicken sisig is cheaper than squid), but the manager did not approve. The lechon kawali was overcooked, and the rice was soggy. The karekare was served with no bagoong. Still need to request from them. There were no small bowls served for the sinigang. Serviettes were also not served.

satisfied with the food, customer service, and overall look of the place. I do want to suggest, just as also mentioned by another review, to provide small bowls when serving sinigang, especially when the customers order platters. The male staff that mostly took care of us this evening was very professional and skilled, especially when cleaning up, he carried multiple glasses across his arm swiftly yet carefully. He also followed through with requests by a family member, and followed up in case of delay. If I had the budget, which I don't since I am a student, I would dine here often. Maybe when I graduate...
