Basil in white plains has super nice ambiance if you are into thai cuisine.  We had dinner and nakakabusog.  Dont believe the bad reviews. Masarap.

Nihonbashitei Morato

Excellent salmon sashimi, very silky and generous cuts of the fish
Tuna sashimi - mejo disappointing kasi half-frozen pa nung sinerve
Spicy tuna sashimi - Eto masarap sakto ang spiciness
Sukiyaki - better than most I've tried locally
Japanese fried rice nila was also good, super malasa with one big shrimp pa on top
Katsudon - tender fillet and very tasty too
Ebi tempura - ok lang, not that special

One of the better Japanese restos here.  Sakto ang prices; not cheap, but not that expensive either. Sana lang may Sapporo sila.  Kirin lang yata meron sa beers. NIlagay din nila kami sa private room because we made a reservation kahit no special occasion naman.

Madison Commons- katabi ng Pioneer Ctr sa Pasig

RUB ribs, UP Town Center. Di ako masyadong nasarapan. Ang tigas nung ribs nila!

Sambokojin, SM Fairview. Wala masyadong tao when we went there. Mas gusto ko food nila compared to Vikings. Nakaka-dissapoint na kasi kumain sa Vikings.

First time ko kumain sa Kuya J's. Crispy pata was overcooked and dry, hindi ko din nagustuhan yung sauce dip. But two thumbs up sa pochero bulalo. Para syang beef caldereta na pochero. Halo halo, I didn't like. Malaki yung serving for 99 pesos pero di sya masarap.

Very affordable Japanese food. Na-enjoy namin lahat ng food. Lagi na kami dito kakain pag nag-crave kami ng maki, tempura, at ramen.

ang dami kong naririnig na bad reviews ng kuya j's
pag kumain ka daw dyan  hindi ka na daw uulit

[o9kristin]

^ For me, hit and miss ang Kuya J. The first time we tried their Pochero sarap na sarap ako. But when we ordered again last month, di ako nasarapan. Or maybe because bago pa lang sila the first time we are there kaya masarap? Tapos habang tumatagal, hindi nila ma maintain yung quality ng food?

excerpts of kuya j reviews from another forum:

Kuya J, the food was really bad, as in everything we ordered! sayang pera! sayang oras mo to eat there! hinde namin natapos order namin we didn't even bother to take it out kasi wala naman kakain nun sa bahay mabubulok lang! kahit 75% off nila menu nila hinde mo na ako mapapakain dun!

Minsan lang kami kumain sa Kuya J. May ni-recommend na chicken dish yung manager, bago daw. Nung magbabayad na kami, tinanong niya ako, "Kumusta naman yung chicken, sir?"

Sinagot ko siya: "Really bad. Hindi mo dapat i-recommend. Ayan o, halos walang kumain. Grabe, ang sama talaga."

Parang namutla yata siya.

yun serve sa amin tuna belly, isang kutsara lang ang na scoop namin from the whole tuna belly! kasi parang karton na sunog yung buong tuna, binalik namin!

Kuya J ....... IMO their halo-halo isn't halo-halo, its already ice cream.

If you want halo-halo, go somewhere else. 

Kuya J-- wanted to try this. Saw their menu and sobrang food porn parang gusto ko orderin lahat.  We tried their Bulalo na special kuno ng KJ. Mas masarap at mas marami pa ang bulalo na kinakain ko sa carinderia sa South Station at 1/4 the price! Not worth the P400++ price!

Kuya J at SM San Lazaro, Very disappointing, 40 minutes waiting time. Just tried their bagnet and sizzling gambas nothing special small servings ang mahal pa ng presyo.

Kuya J is originally a cebu restaurant branching out in manila. My friend brought me to their branch near ayala center cebu kasi daw masarap. Pero while eating tahimik lang ako kasi the food was regular and nothing special. Masarap pa sa gerrys grill.

Definitely not worth it.

^ui i can relate sis! First time namin nagtry sa Kuya J's, sarap na sarap din kami. Kare kare yung natatandaan kong inorder namin, nakalimutan ko na yung iba. Tapos yung mga sumunod na visit, bigla akong nakontian sa serving at sobrang ordinaryo na lang yung lasa. Weird e same branch lang naman yung pinuntahan namin nun.

[ficklemind]

Kuya J's, never pa namin natry ni husband dyan due to negative reviews na mga kakilala namin. Anyway, we don't normally go for Pinoy food naman when dining out so hinde din kami ganun ka interested. My inlaws din ilang beses napagisipan itry but madami na daw silang nadining na hinde nga  masarap sa Kuya J's.

[hann-hann]

Si Jericho Rosales ba talaga may-ari nung Kuya Js? O ineendorse nya lang? Twice na ko nakakain dito. Naliliitan talaga ako sa servings nila. Hindi talaga good for sharing. Bicol express, napakakonti ng sahog tapos puro sitaw. Lechon kawali, ubod ng tigas. Dinuguan, napakakonti nung laman. Kare-kare na best seller daw nila, so-so lang.

[khaleesiCersei]

True! Nothing special. Mas masarap pa sa gerry's. Maliit ang servings sa kuya j tapos yung halo halo hindi din masarap. Di na kami bumalik.

[yannuh]

^love ni hubby yung halo halo nila sis dahil sa super fine na yelo. Ako razon's pa din talaga:)

[simang]

^si husband naman aliw na aliw sa non-spill effect.. kasi diba ang thick/creamy nun ice tapos yung baso nya pabilog sya so kahit pano mo haluin di sya tumatapon. lol. pero tastewise di ko talaga gusto, walang sinabi sa Razons. mas gusto ko pa nga yung tig bente sa kanto eh haha!

Puzzles - Molito, Alabang

Pricey yun food nila at hindi masarap.

My friend ordered fried chicken and cheesy pasta, matamis, milky na nakakaumay yun pasta; yun chicken naman daw lasang luma.

2 friends ordered Classic burger, the patty is thick and raw yun pagkaluto nun gitna, may kasamang potato chips na parang yun tsitsirya lang.

I ordered baked chicken parmigiana, so-so lang.

Actually nagpunta kami dito to try the board games din kaso lang may charge na 100 per player. Ang mahal na ng food nila tapos may charge pa for board games. Umalis na lang kami agad.

True! Nothing special. Mas masarap pa sa gerry's. Maliit ang servings sa kuya j tapos yung halo halo hindi din masarap. Di na kami bumalik.

+1 sa gerrys grill
