KUSINA A Pinoy Turo Turo Restaurant

KUSINA A Pinoy Turo Turo Restaurant

Mounds View, MN

“KUSINA A Pinoy Turo Turo Restaurant has become the Twin Cities' premier authentic Filipino dining destination since opening in August 2022 in Mounds View, Minnesota. The restaurant name translates perfectly to its concept: 'Kusina' means 'kitchen' in Cebuano, 'Pinoy' is short for Filipino, and 'Turo Turo' means 'point point'-describing the walk-up quick-serve cafeteria style where customers point to selections for dine-in or takeout. Led by Executive Chef Jailin Tabares who grew up in Bato, Toledo City, Cebu, the restaurant showcases authentic family recipes passed down through generations, prepared with love as Tabares learned cooking from her parents in rural Philippines where they picked vegetables from their backyard and filleted fish fresh from the ocean. The restaurant operates next door to Filipino Village Grocery Store, creating a Filipino food destination in Mounds View. With exceptional 4.9 rating from nearly 600 reviews, KUSINA has earned reputation for generous portions, incredibly fresh food, and warm Filipino hospitality where owners Scott and Jailin treat customers like family. The menu features comprehensive Cebuano-Filipino offerings including the famous Halo Halo Party ($48), crispy pata in multiple sizes, freshly made lumpia, traditional Filipino desserts (turon, kutsinta, palitaw, leche flan, ube cassava), and savory dishes like chicken adobo, bicol express, pinakbet, humba, and halang halang manok. Customers consistently praise the authentic flavors that remind Filipino-Americans of home cooking-'tanan perting lamia jud' (all the food is delicious). The restaurant's atmosphere feels homey and welcoming, with unique decor making diners feel transported to the Philippines. KUSINA demonstrates strong community commitment by donating 50% of tips and percentage of sales to Tumbler of Hope in the Philippines and supporting Foundation for Philippine Medical Missions (FPMM), providing medical care to communities in need. Operating Wednesday through Sunday 11am-7pm, KUSINA has quickly become essential infrastructure for Minnesota's Filipino community while introducing authentic Cebuano cuisine to curious diners seeking genuine Filipino flavors.”

Kayu

Kayu

Washington, DC

“KAYU represents modern Filipino fine dining in Washington DC, led by acclaimed Chef Paolo Dungca who earned a James Beard nomination in 2024. The restaurant name derives from 'kayumanggi'-Filipino for 'brown,' describing the sun-kissed skin of Filipino people-celebrating Filipino heritage through innovative cuisine. After originally opening on H Street NE with upstairs fine dining (Kayu) and downstairs caf (Hiraya), the restaurant relocated to Dupont Circle in August 2025 with a more accessible, streamlined concept focused on la carte dining rather than tasting menus. Chef Dungca, originally from San Fernando (Philippines' culinary capital) and Manila, trained at notable DC establishments including Bad Saint, Kaliwa, and Restaurant Eve before launching his vision for modern Filipino cuisine. His cooking philosophy embraces seasonal produce, vegetarian options, and gluten-free dishes while maintaining Filipino soul, sourcing locally and fusing traditional flavors with contemporary techniques. The bright 40-seat Dupont location features family-style plates designed for multiple weekly visits rather than just special occasions, with signature dishes including the famous cassava cake topped with crab fat, jamn Ibrico, and trout roe; purple ube bao bun sliders with chorizo; and ribeye with burnt coconut sauce infused with lemongrass and galangal-southern Filipino flavors rarely seen in US Filipino restaurants. Other standout offerings include tocino chicken with sweet soy-garlic-annatto-pineapple glaze, sweet corn agnolotti with curry emulsion, and inventive desserts like burnt cassava cheesecake. The beverage program features Filipino-influenced cocktails including pandan negroni and tamarind-jackfruit margarita alongside Filipino beers and curated wines. KAYU represents the new generation of Filipino restaurants elevating the cuisine beyond traditional expectations while maintaining authentic flavors and warm hospitality.”
