Phil Am Kusina - Staten Island

Service was great. There was no waiting time. Only the ice should have been a bigger sip.

Authentic filipino food, friendly service and quiet atmosphere.

The staff is very nice. Overall a positive experience.

The meal was great; the service top notch. You could tell the staff were keen on details and making sure the food was presented (not to mention) prepared well. This is a gem of a place.

We were really looking forward to trying their expansive menu, for we've been craving authentic Filipino food for quite a while. However, the food was mediocre at best unfortunately. Please keep in mind that this only applies to the items we ordered, for I'm still interested in trying their other items as well! We ordered the beef sirloin brunch tapsilog), the chicken wing brunch wingsilog), the pork sisig sisig baboy), the lumpia pork, melon chiller, and finished with the ube ice cream. The beef sirloin was so over cooked that it was incredibly rough unfortunately, especially since it had good flavor that coated the tough beef. The chicken wing brunch was on the sweeter side and only came with two drums and to mid wing pieces. The pork sisig was my most craved item, but it was overly tough and sour, which was very disappointing since I usually love Filipino pork sisigs : The garlic rice that accompanied them were very mild in garlic, which was another unfortunate disappointment. The lumpia, melon chiller, and ube ice cream was our favorite. Lumpia was light and tiny, making them the perfect snack! The melon chiller was so melon-y that I highly recommend trying it! The ube ice cream finisher was surprisingly creamy and not overly sweet like some other ube ice cream we had. Although this experience was definitely more disappointing than pleasurable, we would still come back to try their other selections! Thank you for reading and best of luck! :
