At first glance it may look like your typical Filipino cuisine restaurant but after taking a look at their menu you'll see that the dishes have a little twist. We first ordered the Nachos which was a bit dry. The cheese that they used looks like it straight up came from a Cheez-Whiz tetra pack. Would be nice if they also added some ground pork or beef to their nachos. The Taro and Kamote chips we're a good touch though, really brings out the pinoy fusion cooking aspect of the dish. The Calamansi juice that we ordered was too sour for my taste but after diluting it with a bit of water it tasted just fine. I appreciate that they use fresh Cherries for the garnish for the drink. For the main course we ordered a variety of dishes but the only ones that I tasted was the Bagnet Dinuguan and Beef KareKare. Both are extraordinarily delicious. Although the Karekare could use a bit more meat but nevertheless, I think it's one of their best dishes. Their desserts are also top tier. I tried their Banana Flambe and it was absolutely delightful. A perfect dish to end out dining experience. I think the only downside to this place is that it is more on the expensive side. Also the dishes take a bit too long to prepare. And also, I noticed that they use the same herb as garnish for every dish that they served us. The place is spacious and they have very accommodating staff who will gladly ask you if there is anything you want. They have limited parking space so be prepared to have a plan B in case you visit the resto and there are no available parking slots.

We celebrated our 22nd anniversary here at Ombu Kusina and we enjoyed our visit. We ordered sizzling pork sisig. It's good, it was authentic as it doesn't have mayonnaise. But it was kinda bland, so we asked for a soy sauce. It has an egg, the red chilli, no hot sauce though, but it's fine. It tasted like those original Kapampangan sisig. We also ordered for garlic rice for sharing. This one tastes so good, don't skip this one. Their salisbury bistek Tagalog was also good. Big serving, good-tasting sauce just like the original bistek Tagalog, and the touch of kalamansi made it taste better. Their calamares was a big serving also and it was perfectly fried and marinated. Somehow bland also but it's fine. The sauce that comes with it is just okay, but it's better if they can serve two different sauces for the calamares. We ordered cucumber kiwi lemon shake. This one is sweet. We suggest they lessen its sugar-level and add more lemon or kalamansi. For the dessert, their mocha sansrival was good! Add this to your order if you visit Ombu Kusina. And lastly, don't forget to try their tres leches halo-halo. It was sooo good. I'm not a fan of milky halo-halo, but this one, I highly recommend! The place is cozy, the play good and relaxing acoustic OPM music, the waiters/waitresses were all courteous and attentive to all customers, and even the guard at the parking area. The place is not that big but it's better if you drop by earlier before lunch. Ombu Kusina is at the ground level of Sequoia Hotel in Mo. Ignacia corner Timog Ave, Quezon City.

Overall all, a good place to try. Food served are good for sharing. The main dishes are the typical Filipino food, nothing speical. However a good place for merienda. Food we ordered: Sisig pizza - worth a try. Thin crust pizza with sisig on top. Garlic rice - usual garlic rice, I personally would like it with more garlicky taste Salted egg spaghettini - interesting twist, it has a grainy texture due to the salted egg. Binakol - very generous serving of chicken, and they gave additional soup. We were a group of 7 people and it was more than enough. The soup tastes saltier once the soup gets cold. Thrice cooked crispy pata - very crunchy skin and tender meat. Tortang talong - regular taste, pretty plating Mix seafood laing - we can't find the seafood, might be mixed in the laing already. Tastes like regular laing. ⭐ Frozen brazo - one of the best Brazo I've tried so far. Must try! Could be shared by 2 people. ⭐ Tres leches halo-halo (junior) - Must try! They use shaved milk ice, not just regular shaved ice. Service - attentive and nice servcie staff Atmoshphere - if you are eating with other big groups, the place tends to get noisy.

Dined during dinner. This restaurant has potential if given a little more effort. Very generous on serving portions good for groups. Beef bulalo was good. Not salty and not greasy at all. Big meat and with generous veggies. Downside is soup temp not hot. Its warm. Crispy chicken skin is not crispy at all and served cold. Liempo was tasty and meat not too tough.but then again, served cold. Airconditioning needs to be fixed, a bit hot inside the resto. Staff are friendly but lacks drive to serve clients. You need to call them again and again. Water should be served diligently and even condiments / utensils you need should be served without telling them. Needs more effort to not waste the good taste and flavors of the food. Parking fee applies in the basement (P30 + ticket validation)

I describe this as a comfort food in a hotel restaurant. Ambience is good and plenty of parking space in the basement. Good for party accomodations as guest will not have to worry of their cars being towed along timog ave qc. Well food is really good and comforting. Filipino food is something can be eaten on a regular basis and the price is competetive to other similar restos we have been. Enjoyed their flaming chicken served with wine and on fire. Sorry i did not took photos as guest are too delighted to taste it asap and it taste delicious too. To cut it short. Come and try it for yourself to enjoy the different tastes of their offered delicacy.

I was sick during our visit, hence my palate is not that reliable. I could only account to my family and my wife's testimonials for this review. We booked for a group of 10 via zomato and held my parent's anniversary dinner here. Lots of food and they all liked it! I liked the sinigang salmon the most and could remember how bad the flamed chicken tasted. It was like a cake, just for the presentation and nothing more. Kudos to the manager and their staff in accommodating us! The experience and my companions' testimonials for the food (my wife was really happy) earn them 5 stars
